Peaceful and breathtaking views. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Michael. We dropped our bags and explored the house. Everything was amazing; we even sat on the porch and chatted away with Michael like long lost friends. His hospitality was really wonderful. We felt at home. The views, the animals and the games room were very entertaining. We spent hours shooting pool and listening to music. The big highlight was the pool area, calm, relaxing and peaceful to relax with a book or have a nice swim. We even went on a game drive, absolute bliss. Will definitely visit again.

Very nice and peaceful. Lots of entertainment for children (swimming pool, jungle gym, swings, walking trails, tennis court, games room), incredible views of the mountains and open spaces. Cottage 3 is semi-detached, it borders another cottage, but you still have 100% privacy with a braai area in the opposite direction.

Baie lekker en vreedsaam. Baie vermaak vir kinders (swembad, klimraam, swaaie, staproetes, tennisbaan, speletjieskamer), ongelooflike uitsig van die berge en ooptes. Kothuis 3 is semi-alleenstaande, dit grens teen ander kothuis, maar mens het 100% privaatheid steeds met braaiplek in teenoorgestelde rigting.

A great getaway if you're looking for peace and quiet and being able to sit on the porch and watch wildlife. Lovely peaceful getaway with nature on your porch. Saw all the wild goats and did hiking trails. Michael was very helpful and took us with him to feed the goats and tell us more about the farm. Pool table, tennis court and swimming pool were well used by the teenagers.

Goeie wegbreek as jy rustigheid soek en kon op die stoep sit en wild kyk. Heerlike rustige wegbreek met die natuur op jou stoep. Het al die wilde bokke gesien en staproetes gedoen. Michael was baie behulpsaam en het ons saamgevat om die bokke te gaan voer en meer van die plaas vertel. Pooltafel, tennisbaan en swembad is goed deur die tieners benut.

Wonderful rest with stargazing and a view of animals. We went through for a wedding that was nearby. We had 2 adult boys with us. The accommodation was lovely. Looking out over the zebras, wildebeest, donkey was a nice surprise. Michael was a very good host and told us a lot about the animals and farm. Cottage 1 was very well appointed, just would not recommend for someone who may struggle with mobility due to the stairs to get in as well as inside the unit.

Heerlike rus met sterreprag en uitkyk op diere. Ons het deurgegaan vir 'n troue wat naby geleë was. Saam met ons was 2 volwasse seuns. Verblyf was heerlik. Om uit te kyk oor die zebras, wildebees, donkie was 'n lekker verrassing. Michael was 'n baie goeie host en het ons baie van die diere en plaas vertel. Cottage 1 was baie goed ingerig, sal net nie aanbeveel vir iemand wat dalk sukkel met mobiliteit weens die trappe om in te gaan asook binne die unit.

Amazing, relaxing, peaceful. The Eco house at Fonteinskloof farm was beautiful, situated with an amazing view of the surrounding mountains. It had all the comforts of home with that relaxing calm to it. Walking trails between the valleys and surrounded by wildlife was a huge hit with the whole family. The peaceful nights were a welcome break from city life. Micheal was a superb host and helpful beyond our expectations.

Nice. Was nice, the wind blew like crazy in the mornings but this must just be a seasonal thing.

Great getaway that ticks all the boxes. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on this beautiful wildlife farm - so sad to leave - Michael the manager was an amazing host and enhanced our stay even more.

Pleasant relaxed atmosphere. Yes, it would help a lot if the outside gate also had a remote.

Aangename ontspanne atmosfeer. Ja, dit sal baie help as die buitehek ook 'n remote gehad het.

Hi Flip, Thank you very much for your review. We appreciate it. I apologize for any inconvenience caused to the front gate, but unfortunately the entire system was stolen and we are currently planning to install a new gate with a motor. We are going to move the gate away from the R60. The motor has been purchased and we hope to have the new gate operational before the end of the year. Best regards, William

Hi Flip, Baie dankie vir jou review. Ons waardeer dit. Ek vra om verskoning vir enige ongerief vir die voorste hek, maar ongelukkig was die hele stelsel gesteel en ons beplan op die oomblik om 'n nuwe hek met motor op te sit. Ons gaan die hek skuif weg van die R60. Die motor is klaar gekoop en ons hoop om die nuwe hek voor die einde van die jaar in werking te bring. Beste, William
