Blessed and peaceful! We miss the place a lot! It was an experience to stay at Watermill Guest Farm. The Manor House bed slept very well. The kitchenware (pots, pans, plates, etc.) is of very high quality. There was absolutely nothing missing. Wood and eggs could be purchased which was very good. Russel is a very nice person. He answered all our questions and showed us all the cottages. They are all old buildings that have been restored to their original state. All have solar power (and enough) that you don't even know it's not Eskom power. WiFi was great. You can walk around the entire farm and also hiking trails just outside the farm. Lovely dam that you can go and swim in if you want. Manor House has a view of the dam. Lavender House has a view of the mountain. Mill House is also private with a view of the old watermill and mountains. The Barn Cottage is the most private one with a lovely view of the mountains. Whichever one you choose, you can't go wrong, you will have a great stay. Five days there weren't even enough for us! Thank you so much for your hospitality and the nice stay! We will definitely have to come again!

Salig en rustig! Ons mis plaas baie! Dit was 'n belewenis om op Watermill Gasteplaas te bly. Manor House se bed het baie lekker geslaap. Die kombuisware (potte, panne, borde, ens.) is van baie hoë gehalte. Daar het absoluut niks gekort nie. Hout en eiers kon koop wat baie goed was. Russel is 'n bitter gawe mens. Hy het al ons vrae geantwoord en ons al die cottages gewys. Dis almal ou geboue wat herstel is soos dit oorspronklik was. Almal het solar krag (en genoeg) dat jy nie eers weet dis nie Eskomkrag nie. WiFi was puik. Jy kan rondstap op die hele plaas en ook staproetes net buite die plaas. Lieflike dam wat jy kan gaan bysit en kan swem ook as jy wil. Manor House het 'n uitsig op die dam. Lavender House het 'n uitsig op die berg. Mill House is ook privaat met 'n uitsig op die ou watermeul en berge. Die Barn Cottage is die mees private een met 'n lieflike uitsig op die berge. Watter een jy ook al kies, jy kan nie fout maak nie, lekker sal jy bly. Vyf dae daar was nie eers vir ons genoeg nie! Baie dankie vir jul gasvryheid en die lekker bly! Ons sal beslis weer moet kom!

Rough and ready. The stay was pleasant, but the fireplace smokes badly.

Relaxing and good for the soul! Lovely peaceful farm atmosphere. Fireplace for the evening chill and everything you need. Good if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Ontspannend en goed vir die siel! Heerlike rustige plaasatmosfeer. Kaggel vir saans se koue en alles wat benodig word. Goed as jy wil wegkom van die alledaagse gejaag.

Very peaceful and the cottage is tastefully decorated. Chickens come to chat in the afternoon. Wonderful! The road there is quite rough for regular cars.

Baie rustig en die kothuis is smaaklik ingerig. Hoenders kom gesels namiddag. Heerlik! Die pad soontoe is nogal aan die rowwe kant vir gewone motors.

Definitely a return opportunity. You'll be hard-pressed to find a better place in the area. Guaranteed to exceed expectations.

Vir seker 'n kom terug geleentheid. Jy gaan moeilik 'n beter plek vind in die omgewing. Verseker verwagtinge oorskry.

Delicious and relaxing. It was so wonderfully peaceful in the historic house on the farm.

Heerlik en ontspannend. Dit was so heerlik rustig in die historiese huis op die plaas.

True Karoo style and friendliness, with lots of different things to do. Lovely detached units in a true Karoo style. There is plenty to do in the area with passes, hiking trails and bird watching. Peaceful and relaxing.

Egte Karoostyl en vriendelikheid, met baie verskillende dinge om te doen. Lieflik ingerigte apartstaande wooneenhede in 'n egte Karoostyl. Daar is baie om te doen in die omgewing met passe, staproetes en voëlkyk. Rustig en ontspannend.

Soul food. Wonderful stay, beautiful historic farm and accommodation. Clean and 100% equipped. Together with another couple on a motorcycle trip. Enjoyed the silence.

Sielskos. Heerlik gebly, pragtige geskiedkundige plaas en akkommodasie. Skoon en 100% toegerus. Saam met nog 'n paartjie op motorfiets trip. Stilte geniet.
