Pros: Lovely accommodation along the road R33 with beautiful cottages, common areas (kitchen, bar, relax living room) and animal ranch. Hosts incredibly welcome and helpful! I've been there while on a fieldwork road trip together with my colleague and they even helped us finding information about the area. Highly recommended.

Quiet location with good food.

Pros: Comfortable accommodation for our first night in South Africa after an overnight flight. We were the only guests as a mid week stay and out of season. Site was lovely and quiet. Would recommend booking large, tasty dinner and breakfasts. Note that the property requires a security deposit of 1000 rand in cash. As we were forewarned this was not an issue for us and then we used it to settle our food bill.

Cons: The property is not in Vaalwater as per booking.com map. It is 30km north of that town. This is a hunting farm. This did not make any difference to our stay but had I known I may not have booked this property.

Sehr gepflegte Anlage und Chalets, durchaus empfehlenswert.

Pros: Gefallen hat uns vor allem das tolle Chalet und die sehr gepflegte Umgebung. Abends kann man Giraffen beobachten und die, zum Teil per Handaufzucht, lebende Antilopen und Rehböcke hinter dem Zaun. Der Angestellte Kieran war sehr aufmerksam und freundlich, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Cons: Für uns war es merkwürdig, dass wir eine Kaution von 1000 Rand am Abend bezahlen mussten- für eine Übernachtung (der Preis für die Übernachtung lag in ähnlicher Höhe). Die Übernachtung war zudem schon bezahlt. Wahrscheinlich gab es in der Vergangenheit auf der Jagdfarm Vandalismus durch Gäste. Für uns war es befremdlich, da wir noch nie eine Kaution in Südafrika für eine Übernachtung hinterlegen mussten, und wir besuchen das Land seit 1995 fast jährlich.
