Reviewed Jul 10, 2026The unit was nice and spacious, well-equipped. Amazing views and the hot tub (although not used by us) is a bonus - plenty of wood to keep it going until it's nice and toasty.
Friendly host who reacted timeously.

Reviewed May 25, 2026Everything about the house was amazing. Lots of space, beautiful views and had everything you needed. Would be great for a small family reunion as there is a communal kitchen, bathrooms, pizza oven, hall and play area for kids.
The road to the house is gravel road which is a bit annoying to drive when you have a small car.

Reviewed May 17, 2026Jan is an exceptional host - present when you need him, invisible when you don't. The hot tub on the private deck with the river sounds below and sheep on the hills and meadows down below, was pure magic, and the welcome touch of fresh farm eggs, real milk, coffee pods and a Nespresso machine made arrival feel genuinely special. The pizza oven, fishing rod, dam paddle, and ample firewood meant there was always something to enjoy without ever feeling like you had to leave the farm.
We genuinely struggled to find fault with this stay. Cell signal and internet connectivity are very limited in this area, which is worth knowing in advance - though for us, it was exactly what we were after and added to the experience of switching off completely.

Loved the interiors and everything you would need from a self catering unit is available. Will definitely be back. Thanks Jan

Reviewed Feb 28, 2026Would highly recommend this gem of a relaxing farm stay! Easily accessible by car via a dirt road, great views, a comfortable and well equipped home away from experience for our stop over to the garden route. The hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming, showing us around the property and making sure we're settled in nicely. We will definitely be back for a longer stay to enjoy all the farm has to offer.
Everything was superb. The only small suggestion one could make is to provide some extra portable lighting/candles for sitting outside on the stoep at night.

Reviewed Feb 27, 2026Wir haben diese Unterkunft ausgewählt, da sie genau in der Mitte zwischen Wilderness und den Winelands lag. Wir waren so begeistert, dass wir sogar um eine Nacht verlängert haben. Im Haus hat man alles was man braucht und es ist sauber. Dazu kommt der wirklich coole Hot Tub auf der Terrasse, der Naturbadeteich zum Abkühlen, die Schaukeln für die Kinder, die Tiere und die Herzlichkeit der Gastgeber. In 15 Jahren, wenn die Kinder aus dem Haus sind, kommen wir wieder ;)

The water pressure in the shower remains a problem. It just trickles out (it was not good when we stayed last either). It will unfortunately mean we will look for another place to stay next time if it isn't resolved.

Reviewed Oct 6, 2025One of the best places we have been, easy to find, very well equipped, there is nothing that I could say, oh I should have brought this or that. It is modern and clean, we stayed in the house closest to the dam, it was great, we used our SUP board, but there are canoes a boat and life jackets available. Everything is close together. And most important it is pet friendly. The kolkol was amazing, never knew it was so easy and quick to heat up. The pizza oven was also so much fun. A play area with trampoline which the kids loved. And the farm animals also a great experience. You will not regret staying here. The owners such a lovely couple! We will be back soon!
That we did not book for longer, lol.

Reviewed Jun 12, 2025What an amazing experience! The perfect blend of luxury and farm life. From soaking in your private hot tub with its majestic views of the valley and mountains to making and baking your own pizzas. The accommodation was beautiful and clean inside and out. No expense has been spared in furnishing the house with good quality items. We were even given fresh farm milk, eggs and some of Jan's self-made braai wors. When he found out that our dog got to the wors before we did, Jan happily offered to give us another bag!
In summary: beautiful accommodation, perfect location and a friendly, helpful host. We will certainly be back!

Reviewed Nov 13, 2024We had an absolutely magical stay at this charming cottage nestled in nature. The highlight of our experience was undoubtedly the wooden hot tub under the stars - a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. The rustic yet comfortable cottage provided everything we needed for a cozy retreat.
Our hosts went above and beyond to make our stay special, offering warm hospitality and helpful local tips. The attention to detail and their genuine friendliness made us feel instantly at home.
The wooden hot tub deserves special mention - soaking in the warm water while surrounded by nature was pure bliss. It added that extra touch of luxury to our wilderness experience.
We highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone seeking a peaceful escape. It's a perfect blend of comfort, nature, and hospitality. We'll definitely be back!

There wasn't much to dislike about our stay, but if I had to nitpick, the only minor inconvenience was the rainy weather, which limited our outdoor activities, but the cozy interior of "House on the Hill" made up for it.
