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.

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.

Fantastic setting and wonderful home spoiled by pathetic customer service. The house was excellent. Abraham, who received us, was a more than excellent host—110% for him! The administration of the owner, as well as of the website, was MORE THAN PATHETIC. We were supposed to check in before 7:00 PM. When we pulled up at the gate at about 6:30 PM, the gate was locked, with no bell and no soul in sight. My horn made no impression. It was too late in the evening to turn around and no way forward. Quite by chance, a worker walked by—an extremely nice man. According to him, he happened to be outside and saw us. He was able to unlock it for us and indicate that it was another 1.5 km away. When we got there, Abraham was unaware of our reservation, and the house we had reserved was not available. However, Abraham himself is a savior and a hero. Despite the pathetic administration, he believed us and accommodated us in another house. Beautiful house. Nicely furnished. 90% of everything worked. However, the poor administration spoiled what should have been a special experience.

Fantastiese omgewing en wonderlike huis bederf deur patetiese klantediens. Die huis was uitstekend. Abraham, wat ons ontvang het, was ’n meer as uitstekende gasheer—110% vir hom! Die administrasie van die eienaar, asook van die webtuiste, was MEER AS PATETIES. Ons was veronderstel om voor 19:00 in te boek. Toe ons ongeveer 18:30 voor die hek stilhou, was die hek gesluit, met geen klokkie en geen siel in sig. My toeter kon nerens ’n indruk maak nie. Dit was te laat in die aand om om te draai en geen manier vorentoe nie. Baie toevallig het ’n werker verbygestap—’n uiters gawe man. Volgens hom was hy toevallig buite en het ons gesien. Hy kon vir ons oopsluit en beduie dat dit nog 1,5 km verder is. Daar aangekom, was Abraham nie bewus van ons bespreking nie, en die huis wat ons bespreek het, was nie beskikbaar nie. Abraham self is egter ’n redder en ’n held. Ten spyte van die patetiese administrasie het hy ons geglo en in ’n ander huis ingepas. Pragtige huis. Mooi gemeubileerd. 90% van alles het gewerk. Die swak administrasie het egter bederf wat ’n besonderse ervaring moes wees.

Very peaceful and secluded. Beautiful lawn and dollhouse! Beautiful house and garden. We were very disappointed that the pool was empty, couldn't wait to jump in the water after 9 hours on the road! No coffee facilities for the morning and no microwave.

Baie rustig en afgelee. Pragtige grasperk en pophuisie! Pragtige huisie en tuin. Ons was baie teleurgesteld dat die swembad leeg was, kon nie wag om in die water te spring na 9 ure op die pad nie! Geen koffiegeriewe vir die oggend en geen mikrogolf.

The setting was fantastic, but the accommodation was pathetic. The environment is fantastic and beautiful nature is clean. No WiFi available at Oom Hannes's cottage, only at the main house sometimes. No water in the swimming pool which is important, especially after the road that takes you 4 hours to get there. The lighting in the house is unacceptable and no power points are available for charging equipment. The kettle and pots are rusty and cannot be used at all. The can opener is broken, and I struggled to make dinner due to the circumstances.

Die omgewing was fantasties, maar die verblyf was pateties gewees. Die omgewing is fantasties en mooi natuur skoon. Geen WiFi beskikbaar by Oom Hannes se huisie nie, net by die hoofhuis soms. Geen water in die swembad wat belangrik is, veral na die pad wat jou 4 ure vat om daar te kom. Die beligting in die huis is onaanvaarbaar en geen kragpunte is beskikbaar vir die laai van toerusting. Die ketel en potte is geroes en kan glad nie gebruik word nie. Die blikopmaker is stukkend, en ek het gesukkel om aandete te maak a.g.v. die omstandighede.
