A peaceful getaway beyond expectations. Our weekend stay was absolutely wonderful and far exceeded expectations. The sound of the waterfall from the chalet was an unexpected bonus that made the experience even more special. The road is best suited for SUVs or larger vehicles (though I managed just fine with a Suzuki Brezza). We truly wished we could have stayed longer. Pieter mentioned that the chalets had been closed for some time this year, so a bit of maintenance is still catching up — but since we were advised beforehand, we were more than happy with what we had. The setting was peaceful, quiet, and perfect for anyone wanting to escape from everything. We will most definitely return, and I would recommend this getaway to anyone looking for a serene retreat surrounded by nature.

Private, quiet and relaxing. The rock cottage at Bokkraal Waterfall Valley was lovely with absolute privacy and a beautiful location, surrounded by huge trees and shrubbery. Hiking trails are great and the waterfall was beautiful to see. If you want a relaxing stay without any distractions or technology, this is the place.

Spectacular views. We enjoyed our stay, the views are spectacular. We stayed in the Bokkraal Waterfall Valley and were tucked away in nature with an awesome natural pool. The main bathroom in the house could use some updating.

Enjoyed the nature. Had a good rest. Good break from city life. Totally off the grid. If you want to break away from television and your cell phone and soak up what nature has to offer then this is the place. Think of it this way, you have your own cabin on the mountains next to a river and waterfall. There is no sound pollution, only nature in her fullest beauty. There are hiking trails where the path guides you through wooded forests next to the river and then to open areas that have spectacular views of the valleys and surroundings. You might even see an eagle gliding in circles as the warm air escapes the valley. After a good walk, a dip in the pool above the waterfall is the perfect ending. I do recommend that you go with a 4x4 or alternatively a high-rise vehicle. The roads are challenging if you are not used to gravel roads. There are natural undulations and therefore your low-level vehicle might get damaged. Side note, the tar road from Swartruggens has not been maintained by the municipality in years resulting in many potholes. The caretaker and his family were welcoming and helped wherever they could. They even brought us some mielies from the farm.

Beautiful landscape, peaceful and tranquil. Our visit was absolutely wonderful. Lots to do and away from everything. One thing you need to have there is an off-road vehicle to handle the roads. I will recommend this holiday area for everyone that wants to break away from technology and just enjoy nature.

We enjoyed our stay. it was quiet, peaceful atmosphere. We got hot water and cellphone network coverage was perfect.
