We enjoyed our stay and escape from the busy city. We would definitely recommend. The river cottage is located on the lower section of the farm. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the horses, the silence and escape from the busy city. The river cottage has a large main bedroom and a door that exits onto the patio. The bathroom is very spacious with a bath and shower and is accessible from the lounge area (with a bunk bed) as well as the main bedroom. There is a river outlook close to the river cottage; however, there was not much water in the river when we were there. There is a gate surrounding the cottage, and I am sure you will be allowed to bring your dogs along. There is also a hot tub (heating with wood). We did not heat it up and used it to cool down during the hot days.

Beautiful and peaceful. If you want peace and quiet, this is the place to be. You are surrounded by nature and feel safe. There are hiking trails, and the dam was a perfect way to cool down. Jacobus was very friendly and helpful with our queries.

Tranquil and relaxing. The farm stay was peaceful and relaxing, a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The natural surroundings and quiet nights, only interrupted by lions roaring, make it a great place to unwind. Our kids embraced the switch off from daily life and enjoyed the walks, paddling, and swimming. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for peace and calm.

Quiet and comfortable. It was wonderfully peaceful and the owners went out of their way to make our stay memorable.

Rustig en gerieflik. Dit was heerlik rustig en die eienaars het uit hul pad gegaan om ons verblyf onvergeetlik te maak.

Close to Cape Town, yet it feels far away in nature. Basterskloof is a special place with nature surrounding you and breathtaking views in every direction. There is a symphony of sounds that calm you down.

Naby Kaapstad, tog voel dit ver weg in die natuur. Basterskloof is 'n besondere plek met natuur omringend en asemrowende uitsig in elke rigting. Daar is 'n simfonie van klanke wat mens rustig stem.

A close but authentic nature experience. For us, very close to Cape Town. Yet secluded and part of nature. We enjoyed paddling, walking and visiting.

'n Naby maar egte natuurervaring. Vir ons baie naby aan Kaapstad. Tog afgesonder en deel van die natuur. Ons het lekker geroei, gestap en gekuier.

Peaceful farm stay. The farm stay is peaceful and the house is well equipped and safe. We were close to all the attractions in and around Botrivier. Jacobus is a great host. If you are looking for rural tranquility, Basterskloof is the place!

Rustige plaasverblyf. Die plaasverblyf is rustig en die huis is goed toegerus en veilig. Ons was naby al die besienswaardighede in en om Botrivier. Jacobus is 'n goeie gasheer. As jy plattelandse rustigheid soek, is Basterskloof die plek!

Rest for the soul. Basterskloof is absolutely our peaceful getaway. From the hospitality and the most delicious homemade goodies in the store - don't forget the freshly pressed olive oil! - to the natural beauty and silence that is only interrupted by the roar of the lions. The stone house is spacious and comfortably furnished. You can't get better value for money. Close enough, but still far from the noise of the city.

Rus vir die siel. Basterskloof is absoluut ons sielerus wegbreekplek. Van die gasvryheid en lekkerste tuisgemaakte goedjies in die stoor - moenie die varsgeperste olyfolie vergeet nie! - tot die natuurskoon en stilte wat net deur die leeus se gebrul onderbreek word. Die steenhuisie is ruim en gerieflik ingerig. Beter waarde vir geld kry mens nie. Naby genoeg, maar tog ver van die stad se lawaai.
