Cozy, beautiful, enjoyable. Beautiful place ideal for backpackers. We stayed one night in a log cabin, had a good rest and enjoyed the simple but nice breakfast that was included in the price. Bonus points for the outdoor showers with an amazing view (there are indoor showers as well).

Not impressed. It's a lovely setting, but the backpacker dorm was terrible. The kitchen area can only be described as 'sticky and icky'. The gas bottle was leaking, so the whole kitchen smelled like gas and the counters were filthy. The bathroom was not a breeze either, as the shower's water pressure was crazy, either piping hot or freezing cold, with violent bursts of water or a little drip. We paid for two nights but decided to find alternative accommodation after the first night. On a positive note, the pizza was very good according to my colleagues.

Disappointing. Waste of money. Disappointing. No TV, Wi-Fi, coffee/tea, next to bathroom shared by everyone. Could hear everything in bathroom. Very unsafe. Place should never have been listed on the website. Room not up to standard at all.

Teleurstellend. Geld gemors. Teleurstellend. Geen TV,Wi-fi,koffie/tee,Langs badkamer wat deur almal gedeel word. Kon alles hoor in badkamer. Baie onveilig. Plek moes nooit gelys gewees het op die webtuiste nie. Kamer glad nie op standaard nie.

Something different from the usual - new people to meet and a beautiful view. We were hesitant at first to get out with the cows on the lawn and some excited dogs (We are city lads!), but pushed through and were welcomed very kindly. We were shown the facilities and moved into the cute "log cabin". Dad was worried that there were only "showers with a view" available, but was soon reassured when we discovered more facilities. A small breakfast in the morning before departure was a pleasant ending!

Iets anders as die gewone - nuwe mense om te ontmoet en 'n pragtige uitsig. Ons was eers huiwerig om uit te klim met die koeie op die grasperk en 'n paar opgewonde honde (Ons is stadsjapies!), maar het deurgedruk en is baie vriendelik verwelkom. Ons is die geriewe gewys en het in die oulike "log cabin" ingetrek. Pa was bekommerd dat daar net "showers with a view" beskikbaar was, maar is gou gerusgestel toe ons nog geriewe ontdek. 'n Klein ontbyt die oggend voor vertrek was 'n aangename afsluiting!

Absolutely fantastic! We were 3 adults with a baby, amazing experience with helpful people! Great getaway for any family type.

Absoluut fantasties! Ons was 3 volwassenes met 'n baba, ongelooflike ervaring met behulpsame mense! Lekker wegbreek vir enige gesinstipe.

Beautiful place to stay. You get what you pay for. Customer service was a little uncomfortable because the woman could barely speak English.

Vreeslike mooi plek om te bly. Jy kry waarvoor jy betaal. Kliëntediens was bietjie ongemaklik, aangesien vrou by ontvangs skaars Engels gepraat het.

Unpleasant experience will never stay there again. I wasn't impressed with the room they gave us it was an outside room. No bathroom facilities under roof and we had to leave the room to go to the bathroom in the early morning hours. It was cold and misty and that's where we got the flu. I had flu 2 weeks out of the 4 weeks of my holiday in South Africa, not nice at all. There were other rooms with proper bathrooms where you didn't need to face the frigid morning ar. The rooms were not occupied while we were there. I also noted that the other rooms had bedlamps and when I asked about it they gave me one without as switch. I couldn't wait for the 2 nights to pass. I'm also not happy with the bread at breakfast, looks like the freeze it and then leave it out for days. Old fruit, not fresh. The fact that we didn't have access to the microwave in breakfast area and were dependent on the staff to heat things up and then we had to tell them how long was unacceptable. We are adults. Why not put the microwave next to the coffee and tea? I shall visit South Africa again next year, but I'll make sure it won't be at Wild Farm.

Onaangename ervaring en sal nooit weer daar tuis gaan nie. Ek was nie beïndruk met die kamer wat ons toegeken was nie wat 'n buite-kamer was. Geen badkamergeriewe onder afdak en ons moes in die vroeë oggendure uitgaan badkamer toe. Dit was koud en mistig en dis waar ons begin griep opgedoen het. Ek het griep gehad 2 weke van my 4 weke vakansie in Suid Afrika wat niks lekker was nie. Daar was ander kamers beskikbaar waar die badkamer geriewe onderdak was en mens nie nodig gehad het om in die koue lug uit te gaan in die vroeë oggendure. Die kamers was deur niemand bewoon die 2 dae wat ons daar was nie. Ek het opgemerk die ander kamers het bedlampies maar nie ek nie en toe ek 1 vra word ek 1 voorsien sonder aan en af skakelaar. Ek kon nie wag dat my 2 aande moes omgaan om weg te gaan nie. Ek was ook nie tevrede met die brood wat voorgesit was as ontbyt nie en dit lyk of dit gevries word, uitgehaal word en vir dae buitekant bly. Die vrugte wat daar vir die 2 dae voorgesit was, was ou vrugte en nie vars vrugte nie. Die feit dat ons nie self toegang gehad het tot die mikrogolfoond in ontbytarea en afhanklik was op personeel om iets namens jou warm te maak en dan te sê vir hoe lank is onaanvaarbaar. Ek voel ons is volwassenes. Hoekom kan 'n mikrogolfoond nie daar gesit word waar die koffie en tee gemaak word nie? Ek besoek Suid-Afrika weer volgende jaar maar sal seker maak dat dit nie by Wild Farm is nie.
