Very nice place and not as hot as we suspected. It was absolutely fantastic.

Baie mooi plek en nie so warm gewees soos ons vermoed het nie. Dit was absoluut fantasties gewees.

Beautiful piece of land in the middle of nowhere. What a beautiful piece of jewel at the end of a hell of a road. The road from the turnoff on Swartberg Pass to the unit took us about 4 hours. Elands Pass is quite rough and must be taken quite slowly and the last more or less 15 km (the Cape Nature section until you enter Bo Plaas's closed gate) is heavily overgrown with thorn bushes on both sides and scratched our car badly. But that's the worst. At the end of that road is a beautiful old Klowers house with a green lawn and lovely big trees that are now starting to change color with the approaching winter. The house inside is spotlessly clean and we didn't lack for anything. Abraham received us very kindly and had a nice chat. He also put wood for us at the braai which was much appreciated. If you expect WiFi and a hairdryer, this is not the place for you. But if you're looking for tranquility by the fire with a babbling river not far away, night sounds and a clear starry sky, it's definitely worth staying here.

Pragtige stukkie aarde in die middel van niks en nerens. Wat 'n pragtige stukkie juweel aan die einde van 'n hel-se pad. Pad van die afdraai op Swartbergpas tot by die eenheid het ons so 4 ure gevat. Elandspas is nogal rof en moet maar redelik stadig gevat word en die laaste min of meer 15 km (die Cape Nature gedeelte tot voor jy by Bo Plaas se geslote hek ingaan) is erg toegegroei met doringbosse aan weerskante en het ons kar lelik gekrap. Maar dis die ergste. Aan die einde van daai pad is 'n pragtige ou Klowers huis met 'n groen grasperk en heerlike groot bome wat nou begin kleur verander met die naderende winter. Die huis binne is silwer skoon en ons het niks kortgekom nie. Abraham het ons baie vriendelik ontvang en lekker gesels. Hy't ook vir ons hout by die braai gesit wat baie waardeer was. As jy WiFi en 'n haardroër verwag, is hierdie nie die plek vir jou nie. Maar as jy rustigheid langs die vuur met 'n kabbelende rivier nie ver van daar, naggeluide en 'n helder sterrehemel soek, is dit definitief die moeite werd om hier oor te bly.

It was nice to drive the terrifying road down to Hell again. The staff looking after the unit were very friendly and helpful. The unit has a few tiny solar powered lights in it and the lighting is inadequate; just bring a few flashlights. The description said WiFi was available, which would be great as there is no reception, but upon arrival we were told it was only available if you have an emergency. Otherwise it is a beautiful place deep in Hell.

Was lekker om weer die vreesaanjaende pad te ry tot onder in die Hel. Die personeel wat na die eenheid omsien, was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die eenheid het 'n paar bitter klein liggies in wat met sonkrag werk, en die beligting is onvoldoende; neem maar 'n paar flitse saam. Daar is in die beskrywing gesê dat WiFi beskikbaar is, wat wonderlik sou wees aangesien daar geen opvangs is nie, maar met aankoms is ons ingelig dis slegs beskikbaar indien jy 'n noodgeval het. Andersins is dit 'n pragtige plek diep onder in die Hel.

At the end of Die Hel is a heavenly place. Communication should have included that the river crossing before the cottages can be very deep. The staff there were very surprised that we made it through.

Had a great time and braai in the Gamkaskloof! We had a very nice stay and enjoyed the natural beauty of the Gamkaskloof.

Heerlik gekuier en gebraai in die Gamkaskloof! Ons het baie lekker gebly en die natuurskoon van die Gamkaskloof geniet.

An oasis at the end of a long, slow 4 x 4 drive. The cottage is situated in the best part of the Gamkaskloof with stunning scenery and a lovely splash pool to cool off. Abraham was very helpful to make sure our stay was enjoyable. In my opinion, the current state of the road definitely requires a 4 x 4 vehicle with all-terrain tyres.

Peace of mind, but needs a lot of attention. Location is fantastic, rest for your soul. There are a few things that could be improved. The road there is almost overgrown and causes reasonable damage to a vehicle. The camera on the porch steals a lot of privacy and is also not communicated in advance. No communication from the owner leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, but apart from a few things that need to be addressed, it was nice.

Sielsrus, maar kort baie aandag. Ligging is fantasties, rus vir jou siel. Daar is 'n paar dinge wat kan verbeter. Die pad soontoe is byna toe gegroei en veroorsaak redelike skade aan 'n voertuig. Die kamera op die stoep steel baie privaatheid en word ook nie vooraf gekommunikeer nie. Geen kommunikasie van die eienaar laat 'n bitter smaak in my mond nie, maar buiten 'n paar dinge wat aangespreek moet word, was dit lekker.
