99 guests' feedbackThis is the ideal stretch before you venture into the gorge or do the walk (Leopard). Alta received us very kindly and offered us an alternative chalet that was closer to the campsite than we had booked, a very nice gesture indeed, thank you very much! The place is neat, safe and in a very nice environment.
The accommodation is comfortable even though the house is small. Everything was clean and tidy. The winter sheets and electric blanket on the bed were great in the cold! Alta received us very kindly and was always ready with more information about the area. There are nice walks to do depending on fitness levels. The WiFi did not work at the cottage itself because it is too close to the lumps, but if you walk out a little, the reception is good.
It was so incredibly nice and quiet. Very friendly welcome and beautiful hiking trails.
Had a fantastic two days at Uitspan Baviaanskloof. What a beautiful part of the Baviaanskloof. Fantastic hike up to the arch guided by Blackie the dog, and Alta and Nico were wonderful hosts.
Mountain cliffs out of this world! Quiet and peaceful! The host had a compressor, which was a relief, and checked my tyres before I left!
Peaceful with all amenities that are needed. Everything well maintained and clean. Geysers were not switched on for our house as well as the ablution block next door, so that was a little disappointing, but otherwise a fantastic stay.
It feels like you are part of the gulf! Very nice stay. Cottage well equipped and tidy. Highly recommended. Very helpful hostess.
It was very convenient. The owner was so kind to give us a better house than we booked for.
Very nice stay!
Lovely views from upstairs deck. Impressive hikes and bike rides available from camp.
Very pleasant. Worth it.
Safe, clean and beautiful.
The long drive from Lydenburg Mpumalanga to get there was definitely worth it. House no 1 is a gem. Closest to the gorge. Comfortable, clean and tidy. Our 5 days were just too little. Nico and Alta make an extra effort to make their guests feel at home and comfortable. The silence and nature are the best. The hiking trails around Uitspan are breathtaking. Also lots to see within 50 km radius. Nice swimming pool and the farm pond with a zipline is a big attraction for young and old. It was a privilege to be able to stay here. Thank you very much. Photos do not do justice to the feeling and atmosphere. So much more beautiful once you are there. The braai on the stoep was also a winner.
Great place, great owner.
I would definitely go back.
One of the most beautiful places in Bavian. Clean, tidy, hospitable reception and much more. The cottage is beautiful and fully equipped. Despite heavy rain, we were able to braai on a sheltered porch. Will definitely visit again.
Excellent location, private, quiet and safe. Chalet 1 offers every convenience. Alta is an admirable and knowledgeable hostess. Blackie is the biggest sweetie pie. I have yet to meet a more protective and obedient dog. 4 nights of much-needed restoration in total tranquillity. Bird's galore and even a very polite little field mouse. 10 Out of 10.
It was a quick getaway and birthday celebration in one. It was very nice and the silence was much appreciated.
Breathtaking views, nice hiking trails.
Our reception at Uitspan was wonderful. Alta was very friendly and hospitable. We loved receiving the two dogs, Blackie and Jesse. They are beautiful, well behaved and obedient dogs and made us feel right at home. The accommodation was also fully equipped with everything we needed. Our chalet No. 1 was located right on the mountain and the peace and quiet was breathtaking. The chalet was very neat and comfortable. It is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy. We were very lucky to have a full moon and it was fantastic to see the moon come over the mountain. Blackie slept all night at the chalet and what was amazing was that we were asked not to feed the dogs. It wasn't necessary, because the moment we finished grilling and took out the cutlery to sit down to eat, both dogs laid down and didn't beg for food or bother us once. The same in the morning with breakfast. They both also took a walk around the pond with us. A wonderful experience.
Awesome location and very private.
Great variety of hiking trails. The sheepdog is a great walking guide. View is also equipped with comfortable camping sites. A true paradise surrounded by nature.
Although bitterly cold, we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Uitspan guest farm is truly an excellent choice if you want to visit the Baboons. Our host and hostess (Nico and Alta) were very friendly and helpful. The covered caravans were clean and tidy and one could eat off the floor. The accommodation was well equipped with everything one needs for self-catering. The "cherry-on-the-cake" was the sheepdog, Blackie, who looked after us from morning to night and showed us the walking routes like a real guide. He won't let your kids wander off alone for a moment and has the most beautiful disposition. Our 3 nights at Uitspan went hopelessly too quickly and we are already longing to return to the peaceful atmosphere and well-appointed accommodation. Many thanks Uitspan and especially to Alta, our hostess (and Blackie, our four-legged camp friend).
The host was extremely helpful and very accommodating. It was very cold but the cottage was fully equipped with an electric blanket, braai facility, kitchen gadgets, etc. We would definitely return! Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Comfortable accommodation with very pleasant hosts in beautiful nature!
This was our first overnight stop through the Baviaanskloof. A lovely house with everything we needed for a lovely stay.
Very nice overnight stay. Would definitely recommend it.
Out team exceeded all expectations. Beautiful nature with clean and safe accommodation!
The accommodation inside the gorge was really something special. It was really so beautiful to see the cliffs around us and how the light on them changes like the sunset. It was unforgettable scenery. We feel so privileged to have been able to make a visit there. The unit we stayed in contained all the necessary items. We had a great barbecue there and enjoyed the silence of the mountain. We will definitely spend the night there if the opportunity arises again. Highly recommend for people who want to enjoy the silence of the mountain.
The owners are very hospitable. The type of accommodation was neat and clean.
Fantastic environment. Very welcome reception from the host and hostess. Our chalet located against the most beautiful cliffs provided a very relaxed, comfortable and clean overnight stay after a long drive through the Baviaanskloof. Would love to go back later and stay longer.
Nice location with friendly dogs. Fully equipped kitchen.
Friendly welcome. The house was neat and clean with a lovely veranda overlooking a beautiful cliff.
Communicated well in advance regarding travel arrangements and condition of roads. Advice regarding attractions.
It was very cold on our visit there and load shedding didn't make it any better. Still, we were cozy in the house with everything one needs. Provision is also made for load shedding with a gas plate and rechargeable lights. Beautiful place. Will definitely go there again.
Enjoyed a lot. Definitely for outdoor adventure seekers.
One of the better guest farms I've been to. Quiet, peaceful. The owners are very friendly too. The hikes give you an amazing view of the area too.
Nice. Nice environment. Spacious and clean accommodation.
It was for sure a lovely stay.
The perfect place to recharge your batteries! Our family had a great time. The houses are clean and perfectly equipped. There are hiking trails to do and facilities for camping. Very friendly reception!
We had a great time in the caravans! Very neatly and comfortably furnished! Beautiful hiking trails. Exercising is a must when visiting Bavian.
Great accommodation in beautiful location. Spacious, well maintained. Good facilities. High-quality bedding and mattress, well-equipped kitchen. Would definitely recommend it. Braai area was cleaned every day.
Our second time staying over. Very nice environment. Very friendly reception. Clean tidy house.
See stars.
Wens ons kon langer bly, absolute lekker aandjie gehad. Het geriewe en alles terdee geniet. Sal weer gaan vir langer.
Here you can rest and relax in a very beautiful natural environment that also has a nice swimming pool to swim in in the summer.
The cottage has everything we needed. Wi-Fi was available at reception. The dog, Blackie, made sure we were safe and was an excellent guide on the hiking trails!
It was so nice. Thank you very much we will come again. Everything is nice and tidy, a lot of effort has been put into it.
Very nice stay. The cottage is very well laid out and equipped. There is everything you need. Owner received us warmly. Scenically breathtaking. Would definitely recommend it.
Ten out of ten. It's a place you can't miss. Hospitality at its best! Definitely worth a visit!
Lovely little cabin in the woods.
Beautiful cottage in the Baviaans surrounded by lots of trees and huge mountains. The most beautiful hike from the cottage takes you up in a kloof. We swam in the dam and fell in love with this stunning spot. Lovely host and much more than what we expected.
Really enjoyed it, will go again soon.
Lovely walking trails and cutest dog you will ever meet. Very calm.
Beautiful surroundings.
Our hostess went out of her way to ensure that we would be comfortable in our little room and had what we needed to prepare a meal according to our dietary requirements.
We did the hiking trail to the cave, and visited the gorge with running water streams. It was very beautiful.
What a beautiful part of South Africa! We travelled a long way to arrive at Uitspan, where a friendly Nico showed us to our covered caravan stay. This option is budget-friendly, cozy, and perfect for us as two couples to enjoy. The view across the farmlands and grazing sheep is peaceful. We had no need for anything as the kitchen equipment was more than adequate. Our own ablution block right next to us was clean, spacious, and fully functional.
We had a nice stay and our dogs were welcome which is a big plus.
It was a nice, peaceful experience. Picturesque location. The house was also very nicely furnished for 3 families with small children. You children really enjoyed the shorter walking routes.
We have never been to the Baboon! Was really an experience to drive through it! Even swam in the farm pond during our stay!
No signal, very far dirt road. But beautiful if you like nature. The chalet we stayed in "1" was secluded and quiet. Bitterly pleasant.
Uitspan Bavaiaanskloof was the highlight of our recent slog tour. We were warmly received and spent the night in the Chalet for 2 people. Its location is idyllic and private and the scenery so beautiful. The interior of the Chalet is nicely furnished and compact - nothing is lacking. I would like to stay there for much longer. Definitely recommend.
We had a wonderful time at Uitspan, we loved every second of it. Beautiful, clean, quiet place. So much to do and to see. Lovely hosts. Blackie guided us up the gorge hike, so many birds. We will be back to explore more! Thank you so much!
Two caravans under a canopy with the most beautiful view with a nice braai area and all overnight facilities you will need, including meat, wood and something to drink. And enjoy the geese, the dog child and the mountain with hot water and a toilet, nice warm people and pleasant accommodation.
The kids had a ball, tadpole hunts, exploring mountain pools. And all of it in an ideal setting, with 'home' being a simple, perfect, cosy mountain cottage. Thank you for a really great stay!
No reflection on the accommodation but the road into the Baviaanskloof is terrible!
Most accommodating. Third adult cancelled late due to illness and Uitspan suitably reduced the account. Beautiful location.
Full walking route beautiful but not for young children.
Highly recommended, peaceful with the scenery.
We had a great time relaxing in nature. No cell phone signal makes you even more relaxed.
Definitely worth the visit.
Very nice place. Will definitely go again. The dam was deliciously refreshing and the hiking trails breathtaking. For a nice environment I would definitely recommend the place. The house was also nice and tidy with everything you needed.
The house was clean and tidy. We enjoyed it very much. Would definitely recommend it.
Very nice place. Even though it is far from tarmac, the surprise element of one section of Baviaanskloof is just as amazing as from the Patensie side. Very nice place to spend the night but also a place to camp. Well laid out.
Utspan is an oasis in the middle of nowhere. Lovely walking trails. Staff very friendly and helpful. Clean and tidy.
Friendly and helpful host, stunning place to stay. We will definitely be back.
Basic and clean with fantastic location at the mouth of the gorge. The photos on the website do not do justice to the accommodation!
Alta and Nico went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The Baviaans were a wonderful experience for us.
We really enjoyed sleeping at Uitspan at Cottage 1. The tranquility is exactly what we needed after a rough year. Cottage 1 has everything you need to barbecue and enjoy your time in nature. We will definitely visit Uitspan again.
The environment is beautiful. Our chalet was small but 100% functional and comfortably furnished with everything we needed. The whole resort is very well planned. We would like to stay there again and longer.
Chalet no. 3 is well equipped with everything you need. Some of the kitchen stuff is a bit old (broken kettle lid), but everything works. We had a wonderful stay, walking and stunt-slide.
See stars.
We arrived in the late afternoon and were warmly received. If we visit the Baviaanskloof again, this will be our preferred accommodation.
We were very warmly received. Everything was nicely clean and convenient. The scenery was breathtaking. My first visit so deep in the Baviaanskloof but will definitely do it again.
Beautiful farm with nice surprises such as the beautiful gorge and luxurious soft bedding. We quickly felt at home and rested well.
Nice place, neat and clean. A safe environment. All kitchen supplies are there. Had a good night's rest. Thank you Nico, we will definitely come and visit again.
Experience to carry with us forever. Forest house for 2-3 and everything advertised on the website is there. Clean and tidy, with hot shower, nice bed to sleep on with springs and electric blanket to brave the cold in the gorge. Kitchen very well equipped. Magnificent cliffs and forest around you with birds calling and visiting and also Blackie the dog walking the forest paths with you.
Excellent location for overnight stay before the start of Leopards Trial Hike! Well appointed and excellent service and hospitality. Beautiful surroundings.
It's ideally located for day trips through Baviaans. Clean, tidy facilities and lovely accommodation.
Was an incredible experience.
Uitspan is a beautiful guest farm with lovely houses and a very nice campsite. The environment offers a lot in terms of views, is safe and welcoming. We will definitely stay there again.
Great place to stay in the Baviaanskloof area with fantastic and helpful hosts.
Uitspan is an incredibly beautiful farm with beautiful hiking trails and beautiful views. The children really enjoyed the zip line. The cottages are very well equipped and very tidy.
Very nice with everything you need.
Very friendly welcome by owner. Clean and tidy accommodation. Would definitely recommend to campers who love nature and farm life.
It is difficult to summarize the impact of the environment. I had never been to the Baviaanskloof before, so I was a bit taken aback by the dramatic scenery and the 'open spaces'. Our hostess was very kind and accommodating and the accommodation itself was comfortable, neat and clean. We stayed in a self-catering unit and it was right in a gorge. The pictures from every window and from the porch were impressive. The bed was very comfortable and the linen wonderfully cuddly. Two tips for future guests: take the dirt road just this side of Willowmore instead of the one closer to Uniondale. Unless you drive an Isuzu or something like that. That extra 10 km almost broke us apart. While the road from Willowmore was pretty scraped. Then, if you are going for a walk, please let me know. for the hostess before you leave as well as where you plan to walk to. We had a hairy experience in the dark through the canyons that I wouldn't recommend to everyone. Thanks Team! See you again!
Lovely little house with clean room, bathroom and kitchen. Beautiful world. Friendly people. The dirt road was just a slight challenge.
