Chalet très agréable, à côté d’une petite forêt. Au calme. Le petit déjeuner (en supplément) est très bien.

Quaint and quiet property on the outskirts of Graskop. Host was lovely and gracious and welcoming, and provided us with helpful insights for seeing the surrounding area and a great recommendation for a bar/restaurant that was off the beaten track (the "Chubby Pig").
We had a whole "cottage" to ourselves which was more room than we needed but it had nice amenities like a full kitchen and sitting and eating areas. Bed was ok, and we did use the heated blankets! We only stayed one night but it was nice, and we would return. Breakfast was included but we opted to go for the "famous" pancakes at Harry's instead. Graskop was a short drive away and so a car would be essential. Overall nice rural property, not fancy but quite enjoyable.

We had the cottage closest to the dam. It was absolutely perfect, with the most amazing sunrise view from our bed, which the owner told us about otherwise we would have slept through it.
Such a tranquil setting, wish we had more nights than our 2 nights, so we could have had more chill time at the property. Ideal base to explore attractions in surrounding area.

Cool rural place. Not fancy but comfortable. Rustic. We stayed in the cabin with a word burning stove. Basic amenities but clean. Lovely property set back off the road. Lots of monkeys running around.

This is a very well kept property and the hosts make you feel extremely welcome. The highlight for me has got to be the traditional German breakfast which is available on request and is the perfect start to any day.

Superbe chalet, cheminée avec bois et allume feu, barbecue, vue sur un petit étang. Petit déjeuner complet et frais. Excellent accueil. La ville de Gaskrop n'est qu'une étape en soit, point d'accès au blyde river canyon.
