Boplaas Guesthouse

Quiet location, spacious house, well equipped.

Minor maintenance issues and pillows were not comfortable. Nothing major.

Kyla's communication was exceptional - warm and welcome! Lovely place, with a cosy fireplace and underfloor heating (in the kitchen) - very helpful in cold weather! Beautiful nature around you.

Friendly people

Nothing

Great accommodation, keep up the good work!

Minor maintenance but nothing glaring.

Nothing more required This place was amazing

I didn't want to leave.

Honestly this was an outstanding place and host too. The house is very well equipped and maintained and easy to walk into and stay in. Its location is 5*. We could not find a single thing we did not like. Kyla our host was always available and super kind, thank you Kyla.

The hostess was just lovely. Friendly, helpful.

The views and the place was very nice

There is nothing i did not like

Great rural experience and for star gazing

A bit shabby, especially one of the bathrooms

Ruime woning (geschikt voor een groep van 8 personen), van alle faciliteiten voorzien, met inpandige garage. Rustig gelegen, op het terrein van een grote fruitkweker. Hottub was ook een aanwinst. 's Avonds in het donker, in de hottub genieten van de sterrenhemel.

Ze hebben een groot balcon, die uitkijkt over het dal. Zicht wordt voor belangrijk deel beperkt door een tweetal bomen. Dat was wel jammer. We hadden ons verheugd op een mooi uitzicht.

Beautiful home. I can't recommend Boplaas Guesthouse enough! We had the most exquisite stay. Very comfortable beds. Incredibly spacious. Everything we needed. The wood-fire hot tub in particular is fantastic. I will definitely be returning.

The deck overlooking the Koue Bokkeveld. Braai on the deck. The peace and quiet.

Nothing.

bridge to the house is narrow, hard to see in the dark

mooi uitzicht, goed terras, rust

het huis was heel groot en van alles voorzien, maar het had geen sfeer

Magnificent views around the venue with a beautiful garden; very comfy bedrooms; clean modern bathrooms; quiet farm setting; well-equipped kitchen with spacious entertaining area.

Kyla was available to answer any questions and provide suggestions for us. The house was quiet and situated in a beautiful setting.

A comfortable place to sit outside to enjoy the view and eat a meal would be nice.

Luxuriös ausgestattetes kaltes Haus mit guten Betten mit Heizdecken, Schlüssel in Box nach WhattsApp Info. Alles sauber und gepflegt.

Vergleichsweise wenig Aktivitätsmöglochkeiten.

Absolument TOUT. Dommage de ne pas pouvoir mettre une note encore plus élevée. Nous voyageons beaucoup avec Booking mais jamais nous n'avons eu un logement aussi parfait et exceptionnel. Cadre magnifique, maison immense totalement équipée avec du matériel de qualité, literie confortable, hôte très sympathique. En résumé un petit paradis.

Rien. Ah si, ne rester qu'une nuit!

Everything

All good Clean Modern All utilities

Prachtig groot huis met garage en schitterende badkamer. Mooi terras, volledig ingerichte keuken, heerlijk bed. Top verblijf.

Niets

Lovely guesthouse and well-appointed. It had everything we needed. Would have loved to stay longer to make use of the KolKol spa! Owner was very friendly and helpful. As a tall person, I specifically loved the high counter tops!

Note: this house is not for people who have mobility issues. It is not advertised as such for good reason. It was not much of an issue for us, because our dad managed to negotiate the steps. The gravel pathway is not good for rolling suitcases

Traumhafter Urlaub im Gästehaus.

Great house, perfect for reaching the Tankwa Karoo via the Katbakkies Pass. Kyla was most welcoming.

Everything in small detail one could want was there. Beautifully furnished and an even more beautiful view. We will be back !!

The accomodation was fantastic. Stunning view and so peaceful.

Comfortable, big house with a beautiful view

Jewel of the Koue Bokkeveld with a rich and interesting family history!

Beautiful location, we stayed over in our cycle through the Cederberg, our host was incredibly gracious and thoughtful.

Honestly, for our requirements this was ideal.

The quietness, the scenery and our overall stay.

N/A

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.

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.

Baie lekker gebly. Vriendelike mense

View and facilities. Everything was just perfect for us.

Nothing

Big, modern, serene, all the amenities one could think of.

NA

Everything. This is truly a hidden gem. it defiantly is on my top 10 places to visit again. Would i recommend this to anybody looking for peace a quite, absolutely.

Absolutely nothing.

Very Helpful hosts. We were very happy with our stay and the rest we acquired before heading back home.

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.

Location and stay was amazing. Better than the photos.

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

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.

Communication - Kyla van der Merwe is an excellent host. Location - Beautiful house with everything you need, surrounded by stunning views.

Amazing house with amazing views and awesome amenities.

Everything provided that you might need for self catering. Modern,clean and neat! The hot tub was a big bonus!!!

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.

I truely hated leaving. :'(

great location an the farm vibe

Every thing was good and nice

Great facilities in beautiful, quiet surroundings

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

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

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

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.

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.

Some of the kitchen items were dirty.

Very spacious, nice house with a great view. Wooden fired Jacuzzi with a view! Excellent to spend a weekend with friends.

Be aware that the house in on a working farm.

This is heaven

I was blessed to have this whole amazing guesthouse to myself. What a privelege. This was without a doubt one of the nicest self catering venues I have ever stayed. Perfect for a family or group of friends weekend away. Exceptional!!!

The property was filling equipped with everything you need from beach towels, to poitjie pot. it even has 2 fridges and air conditioning. we felt so at home everything was comfortable, modern, clean. the host Kyla was also super helpful and made our stay even more enjoyable.

What a beautiful house in a beautiful setting. We had the entire house to ourselves and it was wonderful. We enjoyed the inside braai area as it was windy outside, while the kids played some of the games available. Everything was perfect and we will definitely be back.

This assessment is arguably bizarre. Notwithstanding we were not able to stay overnight at the lodge, we still want to give a (very good) review. On the day before our arrival, there was a particularly severe thunderstorm. As a result, the electricity supply around the lodge was destroyed. We were informed of this by the owners who assured us that everything was being done to repair it as soon as possible. When we were on our way to the lodge the next day, another particularly heavy thunderstorm broke out. We were informed by the owners that - due to the heavy rains - the road to the lodge was very dangerous (and that electricity had not yet been restored). Kyla assured us that it was dangerous to drive on to the lodge and that everything would be paid back. We were kept on point about the weather conditions and were able to find another overnight stay away from the thunderstorms. The refund was -as promised- carried out correctly. Thanks for everything - we will visit next year and hopefully the weather will be nice then ;-)

Breathtaking scenery

What a lovely property, beautifully furnished and very comfortable. It is enormous for 2 people and if we stay again we will make sure it is with family or friends and definitely stay for more than 1 night. The views are great and it was nice walking locally, especially with all the birdlife.

Pretty much perfect, except that we were looking forward to using the hot tub but a shame it is wood fired which is a bit of a faff when you are trying to cook dinner and it's getting late, so we didn't end up using it.

Very spacious, nice kitchen, beautiful views.

Great facilities and friendly staff. Everything you require for a great time.

Some dishes in the cupboards were not very clean.

Excellent location. The house is very spacious with lovely decor and a beautiful view. Fantastic linen and beds.
