Highly recommended for a peaceful getaway. 10/10 - what a wonderful experience! Wonderful stay, thoughtfully and lovingly put together. We will definitely be back!

Baie sterk aanbeveel vir rustige wegbreek. 10/10 - wat 'n wonderlike ervaring! Wonderlike verblyf, deurdagtig en met liefde saamgestel. Ons kom beslis weer!

Peaceful and quiet for the nature lover. The place has a tranquility and silence that captivates one.

Rustig en stil vir die natuurliefhebber. Die plek het 'n rustigheid en stilte wat 'n mens bekoor.

Unique oxcart experience. Once again (3rd time) we had a wonderful stay. This time in an ox wagon. Unique experience with everything we needed. Thank you very much for allowing us to stay even longer on Sunday.

Unieke ossewa ondervinding. Weereens (3de keer) het ons heerlik gebly. Hierdie keer in 'n ossewa. Unieke ondervinding met alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Baie dankie dat ons Sondag nog langer kon bly ook.

Another great repeat stay. This was my 3rd stay at the Ox Wagons and, as usual, all was perfect with very friendly and hospitable hosts.

Absolutely fantastic place. Best place to get away. Enjoyed it so much. We enjoyed it incredibly much. Top notch hospitality. Best place to clear your head and gain strength to tackle the new year. Thank you for sharing the most beautiful scenery with us. The oxcart is an experience. Can definitely recommend it to everyone.

Absoluut fantastiese plek. Beste plek om weg te breek. So baie geniet. Ons het dit ongelooflik baie geniet. Gasvryheid uit boonste rakke. Beste plek om jou kop skoon te maak en krag te kry om die nuwe jaar aan te pak. Dankie dat julle die mooiste natuurskoon met ons deel. Die ossewa is 'n belewenis. Kan dit beslis vir almal aanbeveel.
