66 guests' feedbackBreathtaking views. The owner was very friendly and made us feel welcome. The accommodation was well equipped, neat, clean and comfortable.
I had a very nice stay. The view is so beautiful, the sounds of nature create a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. The owner is lovely and friendly, and every day made sure that our stay was comfortable and going well.
We stayed at the Country Cottage. It was immaculate. Surroundings peaceful, food for your soul. Owners very friendly and helpful.
Very pleasant. Nice view. Friendly service.
We had a nice stay.
Yes, accommodation was very nice, tidy and comfortable. Nice view on the dam.
It was a good stay.
We truly enjoyed our stay and spent quality family time in the huge kitchen. The cottage is very spacious and great for family gatherings. Thanks, Pet, for being so hospitable. We will certainly come back.
The view is lovely, but that is about all. It's a rather long dirt road and not in the best condition. The place is very run down and old, nothing has been properly maintained or updated. Half the ceiling fans did not work at all, and then the owner had an issue when we had to change rooms due to the ceiling fan issue.
The unit is spacious and everything you need is there. Maybe just a bigger fridge with a freezer compartment would be welcome. Very nice view of the dam and value for money.
The room is very spacious and the view is spectacular! Pet was a caring and kind host and made us feel immediately welcome. The location is fantastic and out of the way. Thank you!
Very neat place. Friendly person and the hostess is a very pleasant and friendly person. Secure parking. Neat clean cottage. Friendly staff. The owner stopped by every day to see if we were comfortable. We enjoyed the privacy. Not far away from a mall. Lots of things to do. We really enjoyed a nice peaceful time. Thank you very much.
Spent Christmas at Willibar such a nice and neat place. Pet went out of her way to make our stay as pleasant as possible.
Wonderful stay, loved every minute! Pet felt like a family member and made us feel so welcome.
Nice view of pond and mountains. Hostess is excellent, unit was spotless. Wildlife is perfect for people looking for peace and quiet. The stoep lends itself to nice gatherings.
Very neat, very quiet and excellent view!
We had a lovely weekend getaway, great view of the lake at night.
Pet and her staff received us warmly. It was an incredibly nice break, even though the weather was very bad. The house is spacious and very well furnished. We will definitely visit Willibar Guest Farm again!
Spacious, neat, romantic, beautiful house, beautiful view, friendly service.
The area is very peaceful and has a nice view of the dam. Pet and Barney are very friendly and helpful.
Beautiful views and peaceful. A definite place we would like to visit again.
Thank you very much. Will go again.
Silence and nature sounds as you can only experience on a farm. Most beautiful view. Very cute and personal welcome with name plate as you drive into the accommodation. Very hospitable!
Beautiful, peaceful farm cottage with the most beautiful view.
Barney and Pet are very hospitable. Barney has a collection of antiques and tells many interesting anecdotes about them.
The cottage is an old farmhouse and has all the charm that goes with it. There was plenty of place for our kids to let loose and enjoy their break from the city. Pet was very welcoming and ensured that we were settled in and had everything we needed.
Place is neat and clean and the staff very friendly and helpful.
The weekend at Willibar was extremely peaceful, just what we needed after a turbulent period in our lives. Pet and Barney are incredibly friendly and helpful. Would recommend the place to anyone who just wants to get away from it all and recharge. Many tourist attractions located nearby for next time we visit Willibar.
They always say your name goes before you. Your name is on a board at the entrance, you immediately feel important. The hospitality is top notch. Very quiet and peaceful. Have fun. Will visit again.
Beautiful view. Clean and spacious. Was a great visit, owners made it very special. Was more than what we expected.
This place has made me feel the inner peace of my soul, the mountain climbing, the bird watching , the lions' sounds. It's been amazing. Willing to go back again.
Pet was the most wonderful hostess I have ever met. She truly catered to all our needs. We had a great time as a family and the peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle was precious! The accommodation has the most beautiful view from the huge veranda - it was truly food for the soul.
See stars.
I was really happy with the set up because of the second wave I didn't feel threatened, it would be easier if the was a proper road going in and a bigger sign.
Very homely feel in cottage where we stayed. Very friendly owners. Close to shops. We enjoyed a swim and a braai overlooking beautiful scenery. For those who like a quiet, relaxed atmosphere in a cosy cottage in nature, this is for you. We only regret we could not stay longer.
Very nice place, quiet and peaceful, hear the lions in the evening.
Accommodation was clean and tidy with everything needed. Pet was very friendly and quiet above us. Willibar has few signs to indicate route. We couldn't find the pool and there are no information brochures.
Thank you very much for a peaceful weekend.
Pet and Barney were great with one. The stay was absolutely worth the money. Hospitality knew no bounds, they had been like house parents to us, especially when my wife's mother passed away while we were staying there. Pet, thank you very much for everything and good luck for the future and may the Lord bless your future plans.
I highly recommend staying at Willibar Guest Farm: the cottage we stayed in is beautiful, cosy and clean. The area is quiet and the view is lovely. The customer service is fantastic and the experience exceeded our expectations. Thank you!
The cottage was very clean with all the basic amenities. There is enough parking for 3 cars. The pool was also clean and well maintained, but is a short walk away from the cottage. The service and personal touches from the owners were also appreciated. Would definitely recommend as good value for money accommodation.
Very calm environment. The view is peaceful and what was needed for a break. The inside of the flat could use a modern touch though. The furniture and decor are a bit outdated. Perfect if you are looking for something vintage.
The booking was easy and we got what we expected. We enjoyed it.
It was a relaxing stay and the facilities had everything we needed.
Such a lovely little venue. Awesome hostess, we will certainly be going there for a full weekend just to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Only an hour from Jo'burg and lovely and quiet and peaceful.
We felt at home from the start (sign board with our names on it to welcome us) until we left. The venue has an old fashioned feel with antique furniture in the apartment.
We really enjoyed the stay at Willibar Guest Farm. As a group we will definitely come again.
Beautiful view. Quiet and peaceful. Access road's last 200 meters may be slightly slanted for small cars, but not impossible. Near dam for viewing. Nearby necessary shops and restaurants. Service, helpfulness and friendliness fantastic.
Service, kitchen and sleeping facilities can be improved and upgraded.
Pleasant stay. Enjoyed it a lot.
We had a wonderful reception. Willibar's people put signs along the path up to the apartment with the guests' names on them, needless to say, I felt super special! They also waited for us and showed us around. The apartment is very spacious and very tidy. The photos on the page actually fall short of what the apartment really looks like. We sat outside in the evening, looking over the lights and listening to the roar of the lions.
We were in the area for the Warrior Race over the weekend. It was a great place with the children to get away from the noise of every day life.
We only stayed one night, such a pity. Facilities at Willibar are great. 6 Sleeper cottage is spacious and well appointed. The owners go the extra mile to make sure everything is fine. Contacted us a few times to make sure we have the correct directions. Next time we'll make a weekend of it.
My expectations was exceeded. The cottage is a pleasant house with spacious rooms where you can really live in. The view is awesome and the tranquility and silence of nature immediately takes you to a holiday resting place. This will definitely be one of our "have to visit again" destinations.
We were very well received and could not have asked for better. Pet makes you feel so welcome right from the start and kept me informed the whole time with communication about our stay and other arrangements regarding our arrival. Even when the lightning knocked out the power, Pet brought us boiled water in a flask, so that we could enjoy our morning cup of coffee and tea on the large veranda. The Cottage has plenty of space and can handle 6 people with ease and the bathroom and shower facilities are adequate. Thank you very much Pet, our visit there was unfortunately just too short. Will definitely stay there again and definitely stay longer. I would definitely recommend the hospitality of the owners.
Very peaceful, farm surroundings with a stunning view over Hartbeespoort Dam.
Thank you for such a tranquil stay between the mountains. The cottage was fully equipped and felt more like a house than a cottage. We really enjoyed the stayover and it's very centrally located close to Harties.
The view is beautiful and the client service excellent. Didn't experience any problems and it exceeded my expectations. Relaxing and the staff go out of their way to make they stay enjoyable.
The three days we were there were a good chance to get away. Just what we were looking for. The accommodation is located in a very beautiful place and the view is fantastic. The dirt road there is not that bad at all. Wood was provided for the braai and the braai and living area was cleaned every day. We didn't even wash the dishes, didn't even make the bed. I would highly recommend the place. The owners are very friendly and helpful. I just had trouble finding the place with my GPS, but think he's a bit old. The price is very cheap for what we got. Thank you very much for your hospitality.
Friendly reception with bord sporting our names. Neat, clean and beautiful view of dam.
We will definitely go on holiday here again.
Perfect farm location in a central location to explore Harties and the surrounding areas.
We loved it! Stayed in the cottage with space for 6. Great was our surprize to find it is a full farm house! It has a view over the dam and braai area for lovely evenings. The road to the farm is not good and you need a high vehicle. We did not need anything and all was extremely clean. In the morning we even heard lions roar nearby at a property next door!
Close to places to visit and adventures.
My parents-in-law said they enjoyed their stay a lot. It was nice and quiet and having someone to clean up was great since my mother-in-law is so used to doing all the cleaning herself. It made her feel better and she could relax.
I can highly recommend it to people looking for peace and quiet.
