Secluded cottage away from the city - silence and nature.
We really enjoyed this long weekend getaway. Being able to get away from the city and stay in such a beautiful and secluded place was wonderful. The best thing was the silence and large open space. Even though Blue Sky Organics is a working farm, we were not bothered by any farm noises or activities at all. The cottage was much more attractive and comfortable than I expected. I was anxious about the fact that animals were allowed there, as I am allergic to dogs, but the house was nicely cleaned and I was comfortable visiting. The fact that the house faces north-south helped a lot, as there are comfortable and practical outdoor areas both in front and back where we could be outside without having to suffer from the heat of the day. The kloof walk was also very nice, but I only suggest it on a cooler day. The road is very beautiful, but more overgrown and rocky than I expected. We were relieved to find a cool, shady picnic spot deep in the kloof. You have to wade through the bushes to get to it. We were sorry not to be able to swim in the farm dam, which is currently very empty due to the lack of rain.
Afgesonderde huisie weg van die stad af - stilte en die natuur.
Ons het hierdie lang naweek wegbreek baie geniet. Om weg te kan kom van die stad af en in so 'n mooi en afgesonderde plek te kan kom bly, was heerlik. Die beste ding was die stilte en groot oop spasie. Al is Blue Sky Organics 'n werkende plaas, was ons glad nie gepla deur plaaswerk geluide of aktiwiteite nie. Die huisie was heelwat meer aantreklik en gemaklik as wat ek verwag het. Ek was angstig oor die feit dat diere toegelaat is daar, aangesien ek alergies is vir honde, maar die huis was mooi skoon gemaak en ek het gemaklik gekuier. Die feit dat die huis noord-suid kyk, het baie gehelp, oor daar gemaklike en praktiese buite areas is albei voor en agter waar ons lekker buite kon wees sonder om onder die hitte van die dag te hoef te ly. Die kloof stap was ook heel lekker, maar ek stel dit net voor op 'n koelerige dag. Die pad is baie mooi, maar meer oorgegroei en klipperig as wat ek verwag het. Ons was verlig om 'n koel, skaduryke piekniekplekkie diep in die kloof te kry. Mens moet deur die bosse bundubash om daarby uit te kom. Ons was jammer om nie in die plaasdam te kan swem nie, wat tans baie leeg is weens die min reen.

Dream country cottage for dog-lovers!
It's calming and relaxing at this idyllic, true farm cottage. The most exquisite country garden, safely enclosed, where we could be totally at ease with our "escape-artist" mini-dachshunds. Enjoyed the beautiful sunsets while braaing on the veranda, and for the more active, the hikes in the kloof and walks around the farm were adventurous and restorative. Everything one needs is available and in working order, even an extensive library. Wish we could have stayed longer.
Very good, thanks.
Lovely location, everything we needed was there. Could do with a drying-up dish rack.

Dog friendly and freedom to roam the farm.
An authentic farm stay and great appreciation for the dog-friendly accommodation and freedom of movement. Gratefully and pleasantly surprised with the fresh farm products we were spoiled with. Thank you very much.
Hondevriendelik en vryheid om op die plaas te kan rondloop.
'n Outentieke plaasverblyf en groot waardering vir die hondevriendelike akkommodasie en vryheid van beweging. Dankbaar en aangenaaam verras met die vars plaasprodukte waarmee ons bederf is. Baie dankie.

Bad place.
The place was nothing like in the picture, was dirty inside, full of flies and couldn't sleep on beds. Was full of fleas, can't believe such a place is on the website and is not up to standard.
Sleg plek.
Die plek was niks soos op foto nie, was vuil binne, vol vlieë en kon nie slaap op beddens nie. Was vol vlooie, kan nie glo so 'n plek is op die webtuiste nie en is nie op standaard nie.
