Lovely and beautiful surroundings. It was a lovely weekend away, we stayed in the Shed and the Cottage and both were neat and comfortable with everything you need. The surroundings are peaceful and the view is beautiful. We especially enjoyed the rowing on the dam.

I will surely return! I will surely return. When we needed anything, which wasn't much, it was attended to at the drop of a hat, and the host just set the tone for a homely stay. Thanks, Laing!

Perfect stay. This place is literally perfect. Big enough for 10 people. Enough bathrooms. Neat and perfect.

3 stars; Decent stay, but some drawbacks. The cottage was okay for the price we paid, and it was reasonably clean. However, it’s not really private, and the view from the hot tub is quite disappointing. One of the main reasons we booked was for the hiking trails, but unfortunately, they are poorly marked, making it very difficult to follow any of the recommended routes. Also, not enough wood was provided, which was a bit frustrating. Overall, an average experience – not terrible, but not quite what we hoped for either. There is also no WiFi.

Very nice stay! Beautiful, safe and peaceful farm. Nice walking paths. The house was very well equipped. The host and hostess are very friendly. Delicious big braai. The stars were breathtaking.

Reset away. The place is where you just go to reset. So really away from everything and everyone. Take only enough clean water with you to drink.

Very very nice place has everything you need, clean and 10 star people. Wow wow wow if you want to break away from the city with 10 stars of service in every possible aspect of this venue. I highly recommend. Special thanks to the farm manager for going the extra mile. Can't wait to go again.

Peaceful farm visit - perfect for families. We were 2 families with 4 boys who stayed in the renovated cellar. The dirt road to the cottages is quite corrugated, but is completely accessible for a regular sedan vehicle. Cell phone signal is not great and there is no WiFi. The cottages are 2km from the tasting room, where there is WiFi. You have to drive there again on the dirt road. Although we were not at the venue, it does look nice from the outside, with swings for the children. The house has since been changed - a wall next to the porch has been added with a hot tub. It uses quite a bit of wood to keep warm. (We used 2 bags of wood for the 3 days). 1 bag of wood is provided, otherwise you can buy from the farm. There are 2 en-suite bathrooms, as well as 2 more full bathrooms and a separate toilet next to the kitchen (5 toilets in total). The kitchen is excellently equipped, with extra dish towels in the drawers. The only things we would have appreciated extra were a fly swatter, bucket and floor cloth and dish cloths for hot dishes. There are cattle on the farm - we just had to close windows and doors for the flies. The microwave oven is too high - we moved it down because it's unsafe to pick up a hot bowl from that height. You should see the eucalyptus walk rather than a walk in nature. There is no clear path and many branches and tree stumps blocking it. However, it is beautiful to stand next to the pond at sunset and listen to the birds and frogs. We went for a walk in the mountain and found a very large herd of baboons in the cliffs. It is a rocky road and you need good shoes for it. Get a nice walking stick along the way to help. There is another hiking trail up by the dam. The children really enjoyed paddling and swimming at the pond. You can ride the bikes there or if you want to get some exercise, walk the 2km there. It is also accessible by 4x4 vehicle. There is a security light that burns all night, but the windows have good blackout curtains and blinds so that it doesn't disturb you when you sleep. The weekend on Bosch River was very enjoyable and we would definitely recommend it. Just remember to ask ahead of time if the DSTV needs to be switched on. Thank you for all your advice and kindness. It was nice to also hear a bit about the history of the buildings.

Rustige plaas kuier - perfek vir gesinne. Ons was 2 gesinne met 4 seuns wat in die renovated cellar gebly het. Die grondpad na die huisies is redelik sinkplaat, maar is heeltemal toeganklik vir 'n gewone sedan voertuig. Selfoonsein is nie fantasties nie en daar is nie WiFi nie. Die huisies is 2km vanaf die proe-lokaal, waar daar WiFi is. Jy moet weer met die grondpad soontoe ry. Hoewel ons nie by die venue was nie, lyk dit wel mooi van buite, met swaaie vir die kinders. Die huis is intussen verander - daar is 'n muur langs die stoep bygebou met 'n hot tub. Dit gebruik redelik hout om warm te hou. (Ons het vir die 3 dae 2 sakke hout gebruik). 1 sak hout word verskaf, verder kan jy koop by die plaas. Daar is 2 en-suite badkamers, sovel as nog 2 vol badkamers en 'n aparte toilet langs die kombuis (5 toilette in totaal). Die kombuis is uitstekend toegerus, met ekstra vadoeke in die laaie. Die enigste goed wat ons ekstra sou waardeer het, was 'n vlieëplak, emmer en vloer lap en vatlappe vir warm skottels. Daar is beeste op die plaas - ons moes maar vensters en deure toehou vir die vlieë. Die mikrogolfoond is te hoog - ons het dit afgeskuif na onder, want dis onveilig om 'n warm bak van daardie hoogte af te haal. Die bloekombos stap moet jy eerder sien as 'n wandeling in die natuur. Daar is nie 'n duidelike pad nie en baie takke en boomstompe wat dit versper. Dis egter pragtig om met sononder daar langs die dam te staan en luister na die voëls en paddas. Ons het in die berg gaan stap en 'n baie groot trop bobbejane in die kranse gekry. Dit is 'n klipperige pad en jy het goeie skoene daarvoor nodig. Kry 'n lekker stapstok langs die pad om te help. Daar is nog 'n staproete bo by die dam. Die kinders het die roei en swem by die dam baie geniet. Jy kan met die fietse soontoe ry of as jy oefening wil kry, die 2km soontoe stap. Dit is ook toeganklik per 4x4 voertuig. Daar is 'n sekuriteitslig wat heelnag brand, maar die vensters het goeie blokout gordyne en blindings dat dit nie pla wanneer jy slaap nie. Die naweek op Boschrivier was baie lekker en ons sal dit vir seker aanbeveel. Onthou net om voor die tyd te vra indien die DSTV aangeskakel moet word. Dankie vir al julle raad en vriendelikheid. Dit was lekker om ook bietjie van die geskiedenis van die geboue te hoor.

The perfect place for charging batteries. Thank you for a wonderful weekend on Bosch River. We totally relaxed - and the KolKol on the porch was a massive bonus! The cottage is perfectly located and tastefully furnished. Ideal for nature lovers who like to explore the mountains.
