24 guests' feedbackThis was the best place to be for our honeymoon away from everything. We enjoyed it so much. Oom Peet was so nice and we had some coffee with him. Oh, and Chunky! We wish we could take him home; he is such a sweet dog. We had lots of fun and a nice time to rest away from busy town life. Keep up the good work; we will come again most definitely. Thank you for going the extra mile, the flowers, and the champagne and chocolates.
Peter, Diane and Chunky (the resident dog who stays with you) were amazing hosts! What a beautiful valley and venue. The decor and the setting were perfect for a relaxing weekend away.
Absolutely beautiful locations, peace and quiet. Our host was so gracious and so accommodating.
I cried when we got into the cottage and when we drove again. I have never stayed in such a fantastic place in my life. Peter and Diane are amazing people, we will definitely visit them again.
Very relaxing. Beautiful setting and friendly owner and dogs. Ideal for a few days' stay to explore the local area.
Stunning host and unique venue.
Very pleasant stay. Interesting and hospitable owner.
The stay is incredible, the view makes you feel like you are in a lush green forest. The suspension bridge towards the house is fun. It is truly in the middle of nowhere, requiring at least a 20-minute ride from Calitzdorp. But that is the whole experience of it. I went with a town car and it's a good gravel road to drive on. The house has everything that you need. There was even a good coffee espresso machine for ground coffee, and a decanter of port. The night sky is beautiful, and as a solo traveler, I felt really safe. The host is a great and loves to welcome you to his atelier/house for some coffee or tea.
Clean air, beautiful surroundings.
Unique location. Very neat and quiet.
Stay was great, will definitely be back, the host is a great host and Chunky the dog was great company for us. Loved every minute.
Lovely "tree/cliff house". Chunky the dog visited us in the morning, super cute little guy. Thanks Peter, your place is lovely.
All the positive reviews about The Hangman's Lookout are accurate. From the friendly personal reception by Peter, the owner, to the faithful, well-mannered, friendly crippled dog Chunky who is only too happy if you allow him to spend the night quietly in his place near the hearth. The road to the farm and on the farm to the isolated houses is for the adventurous, but certainly worth it.
Wonderful place to stay. Would have loved to spend a few more nights!
The place is lovely, the location incredibly beautiful. Uncle Peter is kind and lovable. Would definitely recommend the place.
You must love God's creation. The nature is very beautiful! Host is exceptional.
Silence. A mountain. A rippling river. Willow trees. Feeling song. Privacy. Exquisite art. Comfortable furniture and bed. Large fireplace (with wood). Hot shower. Everything you need for a weekend getaway.
This is a peaceful and serene location. We had a relaxing stay in between the treetops and thoroughly enjoyed the visit from Chunky the resident dog. The sound of the river just outside your door is absolutely amazing! The owner is sweet and welcoming and the cottage is perfectly equipped with everything one needs. We had a great stay!
Beautiful spot and well-equipped. Breakaway from the city.
On the side of a steep hill.
A perfect getaway destination. It is truly a hidden paradise where you can once again enjoy the simple joys in breathtaking natural beauty. The suspension bridge and the fireplace were definitely highlights. Even the canine company made it feel even more like home. Thanks for the stories, Peter. Wish we could stay longer.
The Hangman's Lookout is everything and more! Lovely stay with beautiful views from anywhere- even your toilet! The silence is amazing.
Quiet, peace, nature was beautiful.
Wow, what can I say? What an unexpected gem in the middle of nowhere. The sound of the stream nearby was so soothing and waking up to the birds chirping was exactly the type of R & R that we needed. We would love to come back in winter to make use of that incredible inside fire! I cannot recommend this enough for a quiet getaway. The Delonghi coffee machine was also amazing (I have one at home and can't go back to instant coffee) so appreciated that little extra piece of luxury.
