The best. The best hospitality I've ever experienced. Thank you for everything, had a delicious meal and received padkos and for your care. Definitely recommend to anyone.

Die beste gasvryheid nog beleef. Dankie vir alles, heerlike ete gehad en padkos gekry en vir omgee. Defnitief aanbeveel vir enige iemand.

Amazing. First off, they are such accommodating, caring and gracious hosts. Nothing is too much and the communication is top class. Then the units are very well appointed and extremely comfortable. The main conservatory and kitchen area has everything you might need. The place is very safe and clean as well. For us, it was a great stay and we are looking for reasons to return.

Thank you so much for the lovely review. We look forward to hosting you again under less stressful circumstances. Plan a trip where you can relax and enjoy the highlights of the Eastern Cape Highlands - without having to race through it. See you soon.

Very nice stay, amazing food. The weather, however, did not play in our favour. Exceptionally nice people, the community is so welcoming!

Thank you so much for staying with us. The weather in the mountains is unpredictable, but the community and beauty of the area is very special. All the best.

Baie dankie dat julle by ons kom bly het. Die weer in die berge is onvoorspelbaar, maar die gemeenskap en skoonheid van die omgewing is baie besonders. Alles van die beste.

Excellent place to switch off! Branksome is very special. The location is unbeatable, and I can't think of a better place to really switch off and recharge for a few days. Deidre was a star, and looked after us so well during our stay. We will definitely be back!

Uitstekende plek om af te skakel! Branksome is baie spesiaal. Die ligging is onverbeterlik, en ek kan nie aan 'n beter plek dink waar mens werklik vir 'n paar dae kan afskakel en recharge nie. Deidre was 'n ster, en het so mooi na ons omgesien tydens ons verblyf. Ons sal definitief terug wees!

Beautiful, friendly resting place. Very good salt of the earth people! They go out of their way to make you feel at ease. The food that was made for us was particularly delicious!

Pragtig, vriendelike rusplek. Baie goeie sout van die aarde mense! Hulle gaan uit hul pad uit om jou op jou gemak te laat voel. Die kos wat vir ons gemaak is was besonders lekker!
