Good. The place is far from the main Garden Route activities, N2 we were travelling from PE to Cape Town. Unfortunately, my wife was working from home, so no electricity and Internet coverage was an issue for her. We also struggled to reach the place. We were alone on the farm; the kids felt a bit unsafe. But for my fellow camper, it's a perfect place we would have loved. On any other occasion, it's a great place.

Dear Collin Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your stay did not fully meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that our guest farm is advertised as a rustic, off-grid farm stay, located along the R62, and this information is clearly stated in the listing description. The absence of electricity and limited connectivity are part of the intended experience, designed for guests seeking a quiet, nature-based getaway away from modern distractions. Many of our guests specifically choose the farm for this reason and enjoy the simplicity, space, and farm environment. We understand, however, that this style of accommodation may not suit everyone, particularly guests who need to work remotely or prefer more conventional facilities. We do appreciate your visit and your feedback, and we will continue to ensure that our listing remains clear so that future guests can make an informed decision before booking. Kind regards, Gawie and Erika

We hit the road again upon arrival. So on Christmas Day. We did not stay there. Upon arrival we realized there was no power at all. There are also not 3 bedrooms as advertised. We messaged the owner about power. He let us know that we could walk down to the main house to charge our phones. I feel like advertising it like that. Says there is no power at all and that you have to walk a long way if you want to charge a phone. Also says it is a dirt road and that the house is not near the pool or dam.

Ons het met aankoms sommer weer in pad geval. So op Kersdag. Ons het nie daar gebly. Met aankoms het ons besef daar is glad nie krag nie. Daar is ook nie 3 slaapkamers soos adverteer. Ons het eienaar 'n boodskap gestuur oor krag. Hy het ons laat weet dat ons kan afstap na die hoofhuis om ons fone te laai. Ek voel adverteer dit so. Sê daar is glad nie krag en dat jy 'n end moet loop as jy 'n foon wil laai. Sê ook dis 'n grondpad en dat die huisie nie naby die swembad of dam is nie.
