Everything was good
10/10
Reviewed Jan 28, 2026The silence, I love just how peaceful this place is. Nell is an amazing host!!! She checked in on us via text regularly to make sure our stay was going well, but made sure we had the privacy we needed to fully enjoy the place and unwind. If you need a time out, but don't want to drive far, then this is definitely the place to go. Whether you’re a couple looking for a romantic break, a solo traveler, or someone wanting to reconnect with nature, Lekker Plekkie is an unforgettable getaway. With its combination of heartfelt hospitality and serene landscapes, it truly lives up to its name. What makes it special is its ability to make you slow down. The peaceful setting with stunning views make it a true retreat for the soul. Oh, the check in and check out times... I'm not going to say much, but it makes a world of difference, every host should do this. Just book and see... best ever!!!
Nothing.

Reviewed Jan 27, 2026Die Unterkunft ist ruhig gelegen, umgeben von einem sehr schönen, gepflegten, blühendem Garten und sehr sicher. Das Haus selbst ist sehr wohnlich mit einem außergewöhnlich bequemen, großen Bett ausgestattet. Die Vermieter, Nell und Robin sind sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit und unterstützen einen mit Rat und Tat, Vorschlägen für Ausflüge und Restaurantbesuche. Uns hat es so gut gefallen, dass wir unseren Aufenthalt von 2 auf 6 Tage verlängert haben. Das Cottage liegt ideal, um das Weltkulturerbe „ Cradle of Humankind“ zu besuchen. Weiterhin kann man sehr schöne Wanderungen (sehr sicher, da mit Anmeldung) unternehmen, wie auch private Tierparks besuchen.

Reviewed Mar 24, 2025Our stay at Lekker Plekkie was fantastic. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the attention to detail that made this place feel like a home away from home. The spacious accommodation, complete with a giant bed, beautifully equipped kitchen and thoughtful touches like tea, coffee, and milk, made settling in effortless. The large stoep and stunning garden provided the perfect setting for relaxation, and we enjoyed birdwatching in such a tranquil environment. The friendly dogs who came to visit added a charming touch to our experience. Nell and Robin were exceptional hosts—warm, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating. The extended check-in and check-out times we were offered were greatly appreciated, allowing us to make the most of our stay. The information pack they provided was a goldmine of local recommendations, helping us discover hidden gems and turning our trip into a true adventure. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat with excellent hospitality and a wealth of local insights, Lekker Plekkie is an absolute gem. We can't wait to return!
