Glen Aden

Idyllic country getaway

Pros: The house is spacious, and very well equipped for self-catering. The friendly, efficient service of the groundskeeper and housekeeper was a bonus. We had a wonderful, truly relaxing stay! The view from the porch and the two Easternmost bedrooms is incomparable...an absolutely idyllic picture by day and by night!

Cons: We had hoped to be able to walk/hike in our surroundings, which was unfortunately not possible. However there are plenty of hiking opportunities not far from the property.

Indien jy en jou gesin / vriende werklik wil ontspan, afgesonder van die stad, MOET jy hierheen kom.

Pros: Die stilte en skoonheid van die natuur is sielsverfrissend, terwyl ons die groot huis met 'n groot stoep, braaigeriewe, kaggel en alle ander geriewe, vreeslik geniet het. Ons het selfs 'n bietjie met die bootjie uitgevaar en sommer net heerlik gaan wandel.

Cons: I liked everything, ... more than I can say ...

Pros: The property was well equipped with all amenities and we had both solar and a generator. The view was beautiful with cows roaming the farm. A lovely place to stay.

Cons: We unfortunately didn't see any otters or fish in either of the dams.

Soul replenishing.

Pros: Aden house is spectacular - we loved every second spent there. Have no idea why anyone would complain about hairdryers or any of the other 'complaints', honestly if you want peace and quiet and magnificent skies/views, this is the place to be. There are no other houses in sight of Aden house, it's private and extremely well-kitted out.

Cons: Didn't like that we had to leave! Could have stayed there for another year, easily.

Pros: Beautiful and quiet - perfect escape from the city.

Relaxing family stay with awesome sunrises

Pros: We loved the large comfortable house, it is very well stocked with everything we needed. All the gas appliances worked well, we even made lasagne in the gas oven! It is great that the house is off-grid with no loadshedding. The large fireplace is awesome. The staff are very friendly, Jan chopped the wood for us and they did a great job servicing the house every day. Everything was clean and beautifully decorated. The view of the dam at sunrise is awesome, it is the loveliest sunrises I have ever seen! Thanks so much for a lovely, relaxing weekend.

Cons: One of the light bulbs in the kitchen needs to be replaced.

Exellent stay, and would definitely return

Pros: The location, cleanliness and facilities was perfect

Cons: The property was never perfect, but the floor on the top floor was extremely noisy. it’s fine to hear footsteps on a wooden floor, up the floor boards was squeaking load.
