Pragtige plaas en wegkom-geleentheid.
We had a wonderful and restful few days enjoying the peace and quiet of the farm. It was great to unplug, slow down and there were a variety of attractions to keep us engaged. Tanya, the manager, was lovely and went above and beyond to make our stay as pleasant as possible.
We appreciate the special attention to all our needs. Tanya (manager) went out of her way to give us the best stay possible.
Ons het lanklaas so lekker gerus. Die stilte en die vars lug was wonderlik. Dit het nogal gereën in die nag en die dae was heerlik. Sal dit vir enige een aanbeveel.
Ons het regtig baie lekker in die Rose Cottage gekuier. Sou net graag ‘n gerieflike gemakstoel of twee in die eenheid wou hê. Die twee rusbanke/beddens is seker vir die meeste mense genoeg, maar vir diegene van ons (ouer garde) wat graag net wil sit en kuier, sou dit wenslik wees om in ‘n lekker diep stoel te kon sit en lees, brei, of wat ookal. Daarbenewens was al die ander geriewe en gebruiksgoedere alles daar en in goeie werkende toestand. Die natuurskoon en omgewing is beslis ‘n groot pluspunt vir dié bestemming.
Loerie cottage. Oulike eenheid wat goed toegerus is. Die kinders het die groot grasperke baie geniet alhoewel hierdie eenheid naby die dam is wat onveilig kan wees vir klein kindertjies. Die kaggel in die kamer was ‘n wenner. Ons sal beslis weer hier kom vakansie hou.
Ons het die plekkie vreeslik baie geniet. Die stilte met die pragtige natuurskoon is definitief iets om te beleef. Is lekker ver van geraas en gejaag. Kry ‘n lekker tydskrif of boek, ‘n lekker koppie koffie, sit heeldag op die stoep en geniet die ongelooflike mooi omgewing.
Ek en my gesin het dit beslis geniet. Die kinders het die foefie slide geniet.
Het by Loerie Gastehuis tuis gegaan. Pragtige uitsig en heerlike stoep om dit vanaf te bewonder. Moet egter entjie van huis af stop wat dit moeilik kan maak as jy nie baie beweeglik is nie. Dit neem egter nie weg dat ons regtig ‘n wonderlike aand daar spandeer het nie. Die kaggel in die slaapkamer was ‘n wenner!
Cannot recommend Somerset Gift Farm enough. The setting is stunning, the accommodation comfortable and the host a true gentleman. We will definitely visit here again!
Daar moet vir die gaste vooraf laat weet word dat die water op die plaas suur/brak is, sodat hulle meer vars gefiltreerde water om te drink kan saambring. Een 5 liter is nie genoeg nie. Ons vriende wou nie die water gebruik nie. Daar was niemand om ons te verwelkom nie. Dit was nie regtig ‘n probleem nie – ons het net oorgeslaap en dit was lekker.
Stil, rustig en ongelooflik mooi!
Wonderlike plek en asemrowende ligging. Ons sou graag net ‘n koppie koffie/tee wou maak. Die pad is redelik sleg en ek sou dit dalk noem op die webwerf. Geen ekstra komberse of kussings beskikbaar nie. Wel hout, blits en vuurhoutjies vir ‘n vuur. Dit is baie netjies en skoon en ons sal dit wel aanbeveel.
Lieflike ligging met pragtige uitsigte.
Inspirerend, rustig en idillies!
