Unique oxcart experience. Once again (3rd time) we had a wonderful stay. This time in an ox wagon. Unique experience with everything we needed. Thank you very much for allowing us to stay even longer on Sunday.

Unieke ossewa ondervinding. Weereens (3de keer) het ons heerlik gebly. Hierdie keer in 'n ossewa. Unieke ondervinding met alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Baie dankie dat ons Sondag nog langer kon bly ook.

Another great repeat stay. This was my 3rd stay at the Ox Wagons and, as usual, all was perfect with very friendly and hospitable hosts.

Absolutely fantastic place. Best place to get away. Enjoyed it so much. We enjoyed it incredibly much. Top notch hospitality. Best place to clear your head and gain strength to tackle the new year. Thank you for sharing the most beautiful scenery with us. The oxcart is an experience. Can definitely recommend it to everyone.

Absoluut fantastiese plek. Beste plek om weg te breek. So baie geniet. Ons het dit ongelooflik baie geniet. Gasvryheid uit boonste rakke. Beste plek om jou kop skoon te maak en krag te kry om die nuwe jaar aan te pak. Dankie dat julle die mooiste natuurskoon met ons deel. Die ossewa is 'n belewenis. Kan dit beslis vir almal aanbeveel.

Quiet getaway from the city noise. We stayed in the Naguiltjie rondavel. The accommodation was neat and clean and the view from our deck was breathtaking. All the people who live and work on the farm are friendly and helpful.

Rustige wegbreek uit die stad se geraas. Ons het in die Naguiltjie rondawel gebly. Die verblyf was netjies en skoon en die uitsig vanaf ons deck was asemrowend. Al die mense wat op die plaas woon en werk, is vriendelik en hulpvaardig.

Beautiful location, perfect for relaxation or adventure. Bergrivier is a beautiful place that I even decided to book a day extra. The accommodation was so cute and even had a wood-fired hot tub which they will help you with if you struggle to figure it out like I did. I really enjoyed the hike to the waterfall and we did another one up a trail called the Oppi-Koppi which was definitely more challenging, especially as one of the parts you're basically walking through thorny shrubs. Overall, I had a lovely time and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who seeks adventure or just a relaxing time.
