    Owl cottage was very spacious and clean. Enormous comfy bed and fully stocked kitchen. Friendly farm animals that can be patted and fed apples. My dog loved all the freedom of being able to run around and enjoy herself. Lots of walks/hikes around the farm. Less than 2 hour drive from Johannesburg.

    Maybe there could be better locks on the bottom doors in order to latch the bottom and leave the top open for future.

    I liked the serenity, as well as the level of service from Christy. The beds were amazing.

    Just a suggestion.... add an extra blanket in case it's cold like the past weekend.

    The personal attention of the staff. Especially Chrissy and Johannes. They were excellent. I also liked the farm life, interacting with the animals and the location of the farm.

    The place was serene and peaceful. The children could easily interact with the animals. The cottages are well equipped with electric blankets. Fire place and heaters should you really be cold. The kids activity rides were fun for the whole family. We will definitely go back.

    While they have a lot of kids equipment, some of it has definitely seen better days and is in need of TLC

    The place is the best I've found for a stay with kids under the age of 10! The place has oodles of jungle gyms and kid obstacle course equipment, tractor rides, donkey cart rides (fun but fast!), and friendly farm animals including a curious fluffy sheep. The cottage we stayed in (Lavender) was very spacious and clean. Johannes was very welcoming and helpful during our stay

    The double bed was uncomfortable - not a proper double bed mattress. No extra blankets, which is strange for winter time. Interesting that mugs weren't microwave safe.

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Going out of their way to assist and help. Beautiful setting. Peace and quiet.

    The farm shop was closed, would have been nice to access necessities without leaving the farm.

    The place was quiet and serene... enjoyed the fireplace as it was cold.

    The road to the farm was a nightmare, my car hit a big rock almost took my engine down. Can you guys please send location on the other road because we can get a breakdown.

    There was no farm shop as advertised, or tractor rides, no electric blankets, and the maze and labyrinth weren't well maintained.

    Huge spacious cottage, was beautiful and had everything we needed to stay comfortably

    There is no wifi and the cellphone reception is poor, perhaps if they could add wifi that makes it wonderful.

    The location is great, especially for hiking.

    We liked everything about the place. The 17km of gravel road to the farm road was a bit rough on my little car, it is fine for bigger vehicles

    Loved all the farm animals wandering around the bungalow, especially Meme the sheep who thinks she is a dog. The bungalow was lovely, comfortable and well equipped. The owners' family were so friendly and helpful. A wonderful place for children.

    Hope our weekend stay was not rained out. Restless of travelling on the unpaved farm roads. NOTE: Not a negative on the property.Was unable to enjoy the farm rides due to rainy weather.

    Stunning, Beautiful countryside farmstead. Cleanliness was exceptional. Loved our very spacious cottage. Parking was situated at the cottage entrance and made for ease for all our unpacking.A very secured cottage. Staff were very friendly and helpful.Viewing of the Farm animals was really enjoyable.Walks in nature was super awesome. Peace, quiet and tranquility.

    The maintenance throughout was lacking a bit. Small things like globes missing out of the secondary kitchen lights and a lamp in the main room was not working. Besides that it was comfortable and well stocked with equipment needed. The playground needed an upgrade.

    A lovely place to take kiddies to experience farm life. The animals are all very friendly. The children loved the horses, goats, donkeys and the tractor & trailer ride. The beds were very comfortable. It's great that we could take our 2 little doggies.

    The ceiling was falling in the kiddies room, the swimming pool was cold while they advertised it as a heated pool. We could not go canoeing as advertised because the dam is not well maintained. It is full of reeds. We got a quotation for 2 adults and 2 children, and we specified the ages of the kids on Booking.com, and we were quoted R4000, but when we were making the payment with the owners of the place, we were told Booking.com booked for 2 kids under 3 years of age and we had to pay an extra R2000.

    the King extra bed, the staff was very helpful and pleasant
