The quietness, the scenery and our overall stay.

It was not easy to access the rubbish bins, and the washing machine had to be moved in order for us to load the dishwaher.

If you are looking to go to the Koue Bokkeveld then this is the perfect place to stay. In winter you will be able to keep warm with a fireplace in the lounge, and electric blankets on the bed. There is a hot tub which we did not use, as well as an indoor braai. The kitchen is extremely well equipped, but you need to bring your own cleaning products with you.

Nestled in a secluded haven, this nature accommodation offers a magical escape. The rustic yet modern charm seamlessly blends with lush greenery, providing breathtaking views of a dam from cozy outdoor hottub. Impeccable landscaping and massive guest house with everything thought of, even a complimentary bottle of red wine really enhance the experience. A truly rejuvenating and inspiring stay. I've stayed for a short time but now that I've seen what a gem it is, I am going to book for longer.

2nd bathroom basin drain was blocked. Deck is in need of maintenance.

Location and stay was amazing. Better than the photos.

I enjoyed the stay, the modern appliances and well layed out furniture made us feel like we were definitely on holiday. The house is spacious enough for a full stay. Enough bathroom facilities and living areas to enjoy yourselves.

I truely hated leaving. :'(

I was a bit worried about the self-book in, but the day before, we were contacted by Kyla through Whatsapp. She gave us all the info, instructions, the brochure, sent the location and gave directions to get there. She was constantly in touch over the weekend to give load shedding updates and an update when the entire area's electricity went down. (More later.) The house is very well furnished and the kitchen has every imaginable appliance and tool. The house has an indoor and outdoor braai, a kolkol (wood fired hot tub) and a cozy fireplace. This was much appreciated, as the weather went from sunshine to rain, to sleet and eventually snow in the 2 days we spent there. All of this can be well appreciated outdoors or from inside, by the fire. Every room is spacious, livable and has an awesome view. What a treat. As mentioned earlier, the power utility "blessed" us with about half a day without electricity. This was easily the best power outage I have experienced in my life, as we spent it by the fire reading, playing games (provided) and simply enjoying the awesome views. The house is extremely well kitted for this. Worth noting is that the accommodation is a short drive from the Swartruggens conservancy, where we enjoyed a short hike and saw some amazing rock art. If weather permits, there are other moderate to moderately strenuous hikes around and I highly recommend these. Unfortunately, weather was a bit unpredictable. This place will definitely see us again. I highly recommend this for a couples stay alone, as well as a getaway with good friends or even family.

Great facilities in beautiful, quiet surroundings

Windy at night meant there were a few rattles, and there were a LOT of fruit flies and a few mozzies, so some spray / citronella etc would have been good

Great space, great views, quiet and well maintained and furnished. Quality interior.

There was no one to communicate immediately as the owner was away with no mobile network. Did not get any information about the surrounding. The main door lock was not working from outside so we had cross one of the bedroom to get access of the garage for going outside. One common bathroom and one attached bathroom was insufficient for four families.

the property was very spacious with all essential appliances. It was perfect for spending leisure time with family and friends. it was very quiet, no change of disturbance from outer world as it was quite isolated. common area including braai area was outstanding. Child-friendly

Stayed in April 2023

Some of the kitchen items were dirty.

I liked the quietness of place and the beautiful views and that you didn't have to drive anywhere with multiple options of where to braai, i.e. inside or outside.
