    The entire set up was excellent. The property had all the stuff , so it was a home away from home . The fire places and electric blankets made a comfortable stay. The peace and calm was a wow. Wish I could stay longer

    Nothing about the host and place per say but, the cellular reception is not great and only Vodacom was available for service. But the hosts had wifi which catered for when we were indoors for our data needs.

    This was the ideal getaway for my birdthday and Mother's day as well. Awesome hosts and also beautiful views. Peace and quiet of the area. The outside hot tub was a bonus and the host let us use it. All in all the place, had everything and was well stocked. The information given and helpfulness in settling us in was well appreciated.

    We had a really wonderful stay at Oakvlei farm. Carol and her staff were very friendly and welcoming. The directions were clear, and we had no trouble finding the place. They have thought of every convenience necessary to make your stay enjoyable, and the place is incredibly peaceful. A real piece of heaven and a perfect escape from the real world for a while. We also had a K9 visitor named Rosie,, who was extremely friendly and enjoyed playing with our kids. Finally, the housekeeping service provided by Phili was the cherry on the cake! We would definitely love to visit again.

    This cottage was fabulous. We loved the homely feel and it was exceptionally well stocked with everything we needed and so much more. There were numerous welcoming touches and 2 wonderful fireplaces, with plenty of comfortable seating. It has an enormous kitchen, several fridges, comfortable beds, lots of pillows and towels. The well tended gardens frame the relaxing view out over the farmlands.

    We could not of asked for a better stay it was wonderful

    Oakvlei was an absolutely amazing cottage. Such a beautiful big well fenced garden even for smaller dogs and a great family game of touch rugby. The house was beautifully furnished with wall heaters and electric blankets in each room. The main bedroom is so beautiful with its own fire place apart from a lovely big main fire place in the main lounge. We enjoyed watching rugby in the 2nd lounge with a TV. Huge country kitchen which was so well stocked with utilities. A added bonus was a coffee station off the lounge, lots of fridges and freezers made a group stay easy. Our kids loved the table tennis table. We visited the farm dams and Carol gave us a great tour of the diary. Would highly recommend this amazing place, perfect for a family/dog friendly holiday.

    We were really pleased with our stay at the Oakvlei Farm house. Extremely clean room. We loved the contemporary design, modern and with all the facilities needed. It is ideally situated for visiting the many sights in and around Mooi river. The staff are very good, were very friendly and helpful. Thanks Carol for your love and hospitality. God bless you!
