Yolanda V - Apr 2024
Overall rating
Underwhelming. Would not return.
Buitenstekloof Pomegranate Homestead 's response
Thank you for your review, Yolanda. Our nature-loving guests love the beautiful setting in the mountains and especially getting away from cell reception, to really switch off, relax and connect with each other. We have never found frogs in the homestead. The homestead was thoroughly cleaned the morning before your arrival, but as it was raining the whole weekend, an odd spider might have found refuge to escape the rain. We always ask our guests to let us know as soon as they have a problem or need assistance, so that we can address and solve the problem as soon as possible. We hope you enjoyed your complimentary bottles of wine. Blessings, Marié.

Most beautiful house among the trees that seriously needs attention.
Baboons Gift is the most beautiful house with the nicest porch in the trees, but the place needs serious maintenance and a good cleaning. It is raining inside on the bed and on the table on the stoep because leaks. The gas geyser needs a good service and so does the power system. There are bugs that have nested in that thatched roof and are crawling out everywhere. Fortunately, I brought Doom with me. The bathroom almost had a bug carpet, so many there were. If the roof is redone, the geyser and power system are serviced, and the place is well scrubbed, I will go again. Very helpful, but could only do so much about the power and geyser. I didn't stay my 3rd night because I didn't want a cold shower and the power system screaming all night.

Very quiet and nice barbecue on the outdoor barbecue and stoep - a winner.
Very peaceful and an ideal place to get away from everything - cell phones, TV, etc. However, the gas geyser and shower need very urgent attention. As requested, we did not go to the geyser at all, but could only enjoy a hot shower once for about 40 seconds during the three days' stay. The geyser turns on but does not go above 18C. The gas stove also takes a lifetime to boil just two cups of water.

God-believing experience to be so close to your Creator's creation.
Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control (stormy weather), we were forced to pack up quickly on Sunday evening. There is no cell phone reception and it rained non-stop, so we packed up within an hour and drove back to Cape Town at 7 o'clock Sunday evening. We came back just in time, otherwise we would also have been among the people caught in the floods. We recommend the stay with the greatest boldness if you want to "connect" with God and His creation. Here you can reload for sure. You have the necessary facilities to do what you could do at home when it comes to meals. Everything is there. You don't even miss your luxuries of home. There is a lovely fireplace as well as a gas heater. In the summer there are many more activities to take part in, such as cycling and hiking, as well as admiring the birds and the beautiful vegetation.

In the 2 days we were here, it felt like we were on vacation for a week. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. To become part of nature in this way - palpable silences, the most beautiful bird sounds, rippling water streams, sunsets that are picture-perfect and a starry splendor that is indescribable!

Thank you for your review, Bernadette! We are glad that you enjoyed your stay.
We have already taken steps to heat the hot tubs more efficiently during these cold winter months, by supplying each hot tub with a lid, as almost 65% of the heat is lost from the top.
Depending on your needs, we always have more wood for sale and available - we recently bought Rooikrans which is by far the most popular braai wood the Western Cape, and will also improve the efficiency of heating up the hot tub.
We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Warn that wood will be needed for hot tub and suggest that it be arranged and paid for in advance. They mention wood, but not that you're going to need a whole lot. Vine wood also burns too quickly. All suggestion I have.

Totally what we didn't expect.
Although the place is beautiful and remote, everything is nice clean and tidy in the cottage, it was disappointing to see that the photos on the website did not correspond at all to how it really was. If you hear about a mountain pool that is 10 meters from your house, you assume it is a pool for children. Not to mention the beautiful photos that are on the website of children frolicking on the river with a canoe, they do not exist at all. Would recommend the place for a honeymoon couple, but not at all for a family with children. The description since there is a "goodie-bag" waiting for all guests in the cottage, they forget to say that you have to pay for the items you use.

Beautiful scenery. Not suited for weekend accommodation.
Yes, I can recommend it for the scenery, but I wouldn't recommend it for a whole weekend. Battery power is not sufficient. Winter months are very cold to shower. Shower is too big and open with gas geyser that is still struggling to keep up. Don't think it was worth the price. Kitchen door in kitchen fell off. Old curtains. Not much effort and time or money was spent on the place. Luckily we just slept there and were out all day, otherwise I didn't know how the solar panels and gas would keep up.

Lovely old farm house with tons of character.
We had a wonderful time at Pomegranate Cottage. My only criticism would be to provide a few battery lights that have already been charged. The power goes off pretty early and if we didn't bring our own lights, we would be immersed in darkness. The shower heads should also be looked at and beds are fairly old, but one expects that of that old farmhouse. Apart from the above, people are very friendly, the house is clean and tidy and is the ideal getaway from city life with no cellphone signal, electricity, etc.

Dazzling and soul-invigorating!
What a lovely getaway in the mountains! Here you can truly relax and return to the more basic things in life. The accommodation is simple, yet neat, although the cottages inside could do with a coat of paint. Although you don't really notice it when your mind gets caught up in the mountains that surround you! The wine tasting, which is included in the stay, is delicious.

Beautiful views. Lovely gas heater. The best fireplace/indoor grill.
Beautiful views. Comfortable home for 2 people. Lovely gas heater, was a lifesaver in the cold. Beautiful bed linen. The house was very clean. The best was the wonderful fireplace/indoor barbecue that draws well. The next morning there was no smell or sign that there had been a roast the night before. Very good gas cupboard, double plate gas stove. Hot and cold water supply very good. Toilet works well. Showers very well. Something to consider is a small table and 2 chairs instead of the half barrel. The following needs attention: the bed needs to be replaced soon, there is a loose sponge on top of the mattress, the living room is extremely uncomfortable, hurts your back. Had to sit on camp chairs, luckily we had our camp chairs with us. For example, we suggest taking out the low bench and 2 hammock chairs and putting in 2 comfortable ones instead. One must eat on one's lap. So it can be 2 comfortable upright chairs. Wash stoep's plastic chairs and steel table. For conservation, the owner may want to consider fixing the water pipes at the kitchen and shower to the wall. These are beautiful water pipes. Overall a lovely place, would love to visit again.

Buitenstekloof Pomegranate Homestead 's response
Heinrich, ons is bly julle het die naweek geniet en lekker gerus.
Baie dankie vir jou positiewe terugvoer en ook aanbevelings - ons neem dit ter harte en sal beslis daaraan aandag gee. Net ter inligting, die eksta spons op die bed is 'n eierdopmatras wat meer gerief en sagtheid verskaf vir die persone wat 'n sagter matras verkies, en in die winter ook meer hitte verskaf.
Ons sien uit daarna om julle binnekort weer terug te verwelkom om die opgraderings te kom geniet!

A wonderful stay and getaway weekend! It was wonderful to be able to stay without power and only the basic needs! The solar power was a big help, but also the gas supply was very nice! It was wonderful to get away from cell phones and be in touch with nature again! We look forward to the next getaway!

The location was beautiful, but the accommodation was disappointing.
Unfortunately there were a few jackals that spoiled the weekend. The roof leaks in various places in the cottage. On the first night only the bedroom and bathroom had working lights. The curtains in the room fell of many times. The bedroom does not have a door, which makes the room cold and if there is more people it leaves a privacy issue. The bathroom has two uncovered windows, which makes it uncomfortable. On a positive note, the location is exceptional, especially if one wants to climb the mountain tops in the moonlight.

The houses are not as advertised, creating confusion. Maybe the picture of other houses.
I have already sent a report to Buitenkloof. There was also no ice available here because the gas cooler had not been switched on long enough before our arrival. The freezer did work. Bathroom and shower did not look/feel clean. No curtain. I couldn't take a shower because maybe I didn't understand how to use the gas, but every time I turn on the cold tap to regulate the water, the gas goes off. Struggled a lot and then left. The roof was leaking and water was on my wife's feet, soaking wet, then had to make other plans.

Accommodation was not what we expected.
The surroundings are picturesque. We stayed in the Baboons Gift Cottage because we are a family of 5. We were disappointed by 1 bedroom with a double bed and a single bed and sofa bed in a very small living area/kitchen. We had to make the single bed ourselves. The sofa bed's 2 mattresses did not fit, so our little girl had to sleep on the mattress on the floor. There was only 1 duvet and 2 blankets available for our 3 children. The second night the guests next door lent us blankets. Only 4 chairs at the counter where we had to eat and because the freezer only had seating for 3. My boys had to sit on the mattress and eat. It's a beautiful little cottage in a very beautiful setting, but way too small for 5 people, as advertised. It's ideal for only 2 people like the cottage next door (which is exactly the same size). With a mattress on the floor, a sofa bed that we had to move so that everything would fit, there was little room to move. And because it was very cold, it was difficult. Fortunately we were there very little because sports commitments.

Accommodation was quite neat. Fortunately we made provision for the necessary things! I just wanted my view that was advertised. A little worried about safety as cottages are so far inside and no signal and there are no control gates. Mountain pool not really for swimming, looked a bit dirty. Otherwise our home was very nice and quiet. The service we received was very good!

Disappointed
We were quite disappointed with our accommodation at Rooipensie. The accommodation was booked for 4, but 2 people shared the queen-size bed while the 2 other guests had to share a sleeper couch in the lounge. There was bedding for the couch. We only got 1 roll of toilet paper for 4 people for 2 nights! There's solar power, but the light went off after 20 minutes after sunset and only 2 candles were provided (which were burned down by the end of the first evening). The geyser just heated some of the time and sometime not at all. There was no hot water the later morning! We had to pour river water in the toilet bowl to flush it and brush our teeth with bottled water. Extremely disappointing experience.

Not again. Lights don't work, one cottage no hot water or fridge.
Even though I knew there is no electricity, lights and hot water are promised. The lights worked for exactly 20 minutes and then not anymore, even if you plug the red wire in during the day to charge. No extra candles are even provided. One can not even call because there is no cellphone signal and if your cellphone is dead you can't charge it. The people who were there with us only stayed 2 out of the 3 nights en then decided to drive back to Pretoria. Kitchenware and furniture are in a poor condition. Not even a plug for the basin in the bathroom.

Waarde vir geld in 'n ongekunstelde natuurlike omgewing.
Vanaf ons bespreking tot ons vertrek het ons 'n uitstekende tydjie gehad, selfs met die gemiddelde temperatuur wat 37° was. Ons het darem oorleef met koeldrank, ys en waatlemoen. Ons het in Witkruis gebly, wat goed genoeg vir ons was, die stort en gastoestelle werk goed en 'n bonus, wat die ander kothuise nie het nie, is die asemrowende alom-uitsig oor die bergreekse. Die toegangspad, 'n enkelpad, is in 'n goeie toestand met aftrekplekke om ander voertuie verby te laat gaan. Aangesien dit die feesseisoen was, was inkopies in Robertson nogal 'n ervaring (lees nagmerrie). Die hike na die waterval is 'n moet en 40% van die roete is onder skadubome deur. Daar is nie selfoonsein nie, so jy kan nie heeldag vasgegom aan jou skerm sit nie, en net die natuur en stilte eerder geniet. Ons gaan binnekort teruggaan en sal vriende en familie na die Homestead neem. Dankie aan Johan en Marie vir die pragtige wegbreek-venue wat hulle voorsien en in stand hou.

Peace for the soul
If you miss the peace and quiet of the old farm house then this place is made for you, if you just want to chill on the patio the entire day. The kitchen area can do with a good spring cleaning. The mountain pool is overgrown and the dam has been taken over by the waterblommetjies. The walking trails aren't indicated clearly at the start and is also overgrown.

The peace and quiet and privacy is indescribable.
The tranquility of nature between the mountains is wonderful, but the cottages and the surroundings haven't had any attention in a while. The fridge was out of order, the hot water only works now and then and the sink's tap leaked continuously. The rock pool looks like something out of a horror film and the dam is completely taken over by pondweed and the cano is leaking. You will only be able to take on the walking trail if you have a panga and an axe. The photos in the advertisement is very misleading, because it is not what it looks like now at all. With a little work and attention, the Buitenstekloof Cottages will be a fantastic destination and I will definitely want to go back for a visit.
