"A little piece of heaven in the middle of nowhere."

Our stay at this place was an absolute dream! Not only were the kitchen utensils beautiful, but the outdoor setting was equally enchanting. The kitchen tools have added a touch of sophistication to our culinary pursuits, from cooking to table setting. Each piece was thoughtfully composed, elevating our dining experience to new heights. Furthermore, the exterior of the accommodation was simply beautiful. Whether we were enjoying morning coffee on the porch or relaxing with a glass of wine in the garden, the outdoor setting provided a peaceful retreat. Surrounded by lush greenery and beautiful scenery, we felt totally at peace. Overall, this stay exceeded our expectations in every way. Will definitely want to come again when the weather comes. Hope the weather will be better and we can make full use of the outside area. It's even more beautiful than the photos. Pippa thought of everything. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxury stay with a focus on both culinary excellence and natural beauty and it's doggy-friendly on top of that. Thank you very much.

"Beautiful place with lots of charm and a lovely garden."

See stars.

"The house was beautiful and spacious."

We had a very happy weekend with the whole family. Unfortunately, the weather was cold and wet, but the hosts provided generous firewood, so we were warm and cozy.

"Plaspool is wonderful on the hot days. House layout lovely for a nice visit."

Lovely place to visit for all seasons. Follow the sun and sit on the back porch or in various other areas in the garden.

"Relaxing family stay."

Enjoyed the outdoor area immensely, well furnished outside, with different areas for varying moods and needs. Nice bar area with darts board. Large lounge and dining area and plenty of heating facilities for cold days. We had very hot weather and battled with the only cooling being one ceiling fan in the main room. Lots of fridges, well appointed with coffee machine, washer, dishwasher, games, books, linen, etc. Did miss a braai bak or similar though. Pool has no steps within the pool itself to get out; you need to use a lot of upper body strength to get out, so it would be very dangerous for pets/young children falling in. We struggled with insects, but probably due to the hot weather. There are really only 2 proper bedrooms; the other 2 consist of an open loft area with hectic steps, and a makeshift room formed by a bookshelf and room divider. We found the adjacent boutique hotel quite noisy, as their driveway/parking/entrance borders the garden with a thin mesh fence between. There is no alarm on the house, but the area seemed safe. WiFi was excellent. The caretaker was quite grumpy, arrived late for check-in, and arrived early on check-out day unannounced to "fetch some things" within the house, quite an invasion of our privacy. Further, whilst we were checking out, she was cleaning up behind us, which was very uncomfortable. But we were allowed a late check-out, which was fabulous.

"Lovely time. Very peaceful and relaxing place."

Lovely house and garden.

"Calm and quiet."

Quiet and peaceful location. Really enjoyed the pool. The places were not ready when we arrived and there were a few places and items that were not clean but the owner explained that there was not enough time to clean before our arrival because the previous people had that morning leave first. They refunded us a day's rate discount to make up. The fridge didn't work and we had to throw R 600 worth of meat away, but the owner immediately had a new fridge delivered. It had to do with the eternal loadshedding. Well furnished except for the fact that there is only one large pot and one very small pot so cooking Christmas dinner was a challenge. I also had to buy my own sharp knives because the knives that were there were blunt. Otherwise very nice and we would recommend it. Our dogs were also welcome and they enjoyed it.

"Great house with all the little extras included."

The house could do with a very good deep spring clean and the beds being upgraded, they are very uncomfortable.

"Tranquility, quiet, comfortable, convenient."

It is a very nice place where you can rest and relax, nice facilities such as dishwasher, nice garden, nice place to hang out inside and outside. Will definitely go again.

"Fantastic!"

The Old Barn was fantastic - Awesome accommodation! Very well equipped, beds cosy and comfortable. The ambience of the Old Barn was amazing, both indoors and the outdoor area! Highly Recommended!

"Amazing place, we had a fantastic stay in your beautiful home, thank you!"

What a little treasure, we loved our very short stay, wish we could have stayed longer. There were so many thoughtful touches around the house, we loved the outdoor area and the linen was crisp and clean. Only strange thing was that there was no braai grid, but we made a plan. Thanks, we will be back.
