Reviews

"What a GEM! Breathtaking views day & night, tranquil and the owners match the beauty with their genuine friendliness, taking care of your every need. The one place to be that will make you forget about the ups & downs of 2020. Thank you Fleckvieh!! As the Terminator would say....., I'll be back!!! (very soon)😀"

Ons het nog nooit so 'n "plaasvakansie" gehad nie.
Ons was uiters vriendelik ontvang. Thys het ons opgradeer na Koeitjie wat 'n groter eenheid as Kalfie is. Heerlike vars melk by ons afgelewer. Blyplek baie netjies en skoon, met kraakvars, spierwit beddegoed en handdoeke. Ons uitsig was oor die groen weivelde. Dit was 'n belewenis om die pragtige diere op die plaas te sien! Daar word soggens en saans 100 koeie gemelk. Ons sou sommer vir 'n lang tyd op Fleckvieh wou bly!

Rustig, pragtige natuur, kwaliteit tyd met gesin, altyd-onthou-vakansie.
Dit was 'n heerlike wegbreek uit die gejaag van die stad. Die kinders het die plaaslewe geniet en sal altyd onthou hoe die kalfies melk drink, die beeste stap om te gaan wei en hoe ons eiers uitgehaal het. Die pragtige natuur and groen lande was kos vir die siel. Ons sal beslis in die nuwe houthutte wil kom uitkamp. Die 4 dae het ons goed gedoen en presies wat ons nodig gehad het.

Baie gerieflike en goed ingerigte chalet met 'n onbeskryflik pragtige uitsig.
Wat 'n pragtige plek! Ons was drie volwassenes wat in die groot chalet naby die hoofhuis gebly het met 'n asemrowende uitsig oor die dam en vallei, met die beeste wat 2 keer per dag in 'n lang ry verby drentel tussen die weivelde en die melkery. Die bottel vars plaasmelk op dag een was 'n aangename verrassing. Die plaasaktiwiteite is nie te vroeg of te laat steurend nie en 'n mens kan werklik totaal uitrus. Die plaas is lekker sentraal geleë om 'n groot deel van die Overberg te verken. Hoogs aanbeveel!

The farm is an unknown gem!
A beautiful farm, accommodation and breathtaking views. Did not expect to see so many animals too, besides cows. Enjoyed the company of horses, a bokkie, cat, dog friendly, monkeys - all in nature. We were a group of 18 people aged 9 to 53 yrs and we all enjoyed our stay. So much to do! Choice of swimming in the pool or the river on the hot days. Had an educational tour all about the cows on the farm - so informative and I am sure the average person is not aware of what goes on at farms. Not forgetting the walk/climb routes available from the farm. Paradise all packaged into one. Each one we encountered on the farm, from the Manager to the receptionist were friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended.

Pragtig en rustig met die lekkerste cottage cheese wat ons nog geëet het.
Dit is die ideale plekkie om te gaan ontspan en jy is deel van die mooi natuur.

Absoluut asemrowend. Daar is iets vir almal en die kinders 4 en 9 het die plaas lewe so geniet.
So mooi rustige omgewing. 'n Naweek is net te kort om dit behoorlik te geniet. 'n Pragtige melk plaas met die mooiste omgewing. Daar is 'n dammetjie waar jy kan gaan roei, stap roetes, perdry, 4x4 roete. Die kinders het lammetjies en kalfies melk gegee en speel sommer die hele tyd tussen die diere.

Breathtakingly beautiful nature.
The area is tranquil and the farm atmosphere is relaxing. The owner is very nice and we even had fresh milk and coffee for the morning. The fact that we could take our 2 dogs with was a plus and they could roam around freely.

Pure Plaas Sielerus.
Ligging van kampterrein is pragtig, op die rant van die groot plaasdam, met kwetterende voëllewe! Staanplekke is gerieflik groot met pragtige grasbedekking. Ons en ons hond is baie tuis laat voel en kon die vryheid van die plaaslewe ten volle geniet. Personeel was uiters vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die plaaslike plaasmelk is heerlik!

It was the most relaxing and rejuvenating time I had in many many years.
There is not enough space to indicate how much we enjoyed our time at the guest farm. We stayed in the Bosbok cottage, which has just the basics, but for our purposes it was all we needed. We made it a study week away from the hustle and bustle and ordinary every day life duties and we can still not get over the great time we had, by having to do nothing. You do not get great signal at these cottages and that is exactly what you need if you want to leave the world behind and rejuvenate and study as was in our case. We bought farm milk and eggs nearly every day. It is delicious and the taste define. We could bring our two small/medium dogs with and had walks with them without leashes around the dam and ventured on the other walk routes they have. We crept in bed by 19:30 and woke at 08:00 in the morning. This is so not us and we enjoyed that thoroughly. They will see us again at least once or twice a year, for sure. Everyone we met on farm was friendly and assistance and communication, even beforehand was just as great and professional but still with warmth.

Spacious, comfortable and well-equipped chalet, with lovely views from large deck overlooking the dam.
A lovely destination on a working dairy farm. We were upgraded to a two bedroom chalet overlooking the dam, which was spacious, comfortable and clean, with a large deck overlooking the dam. Good opportunity for walks or just to enjoy the lovely surrounds in a beautiful setting.

Aangename verblyf in 'n baie mooi omgewing.
Baie lekker gebly op die melkplaas. Veral jong kinders geniet die diere baie. Het vanaf Barrydale gekom en het die Tradauwpas was 'n aangename ondervinding, wonderlike natuurskoon.

Totally awesome, kids love the feeding and the animals.
Will be coming back for a linger stay. The place is a sight to behold. Waking up to amazing views. Safe and secure.

Dit is die derde keer dat ons daar tuisgaan en dit was ongelooflik lekker.
Dit is nou 'n ware stukkie paradys. Die akkommodasie is uitstekend en die kaggeltjie in die woonvertrek 'n fees. Die omgewing is ongelooflik mooi en so ook die voëls wat wilde eende, kolganse, bleshoenders en selfs visarende insluit. Die eenheid waarin ons gewoon het is letterlik oor die water gebou en sal vir voëlkykers 'n fees wees. Baie dankie vir jou vriendelikheid, Thys. Jy is 'n ware gasheer.

Dit was die moeite werd, die uitsig was asemrowend, en doodse stilte was 'n genot.
Was iets nuuts vir die kinders, die uitsig was pragtig. Hulle het dit baie geniet om die kalfies te sien en hoe hulle melk gegee word. Die stilte was te lekker.

Unbelievable.
We had a good stay. Thank you very much for clean, neat accommodation.

Absolute 5-ster-ervaring!
Van dat ons daar aangekom het, tot ons daar weg is, het ons net die beste diens ervaar. Die asemrowende uitsig vanaf ons wooneenheid oor die dam en berge sal ons nog lank bybly. Absolute 5-ster-ervaring!

Ideal area to relax.
The Eiland apartment is spacious and very neat, with a beautiful view of the dam. The farm is also beautiful and you can see the milking and feeding of the calf. We also drove to Grootvadersbosch, just 10 km further on a dirt road.

Too beautiful.
Perfect spot to take photos of birds.

Uitstekend en so so rustig. Pragtige uitsig. Sal vir seker terug gaan.
Was 'n heerlike wegbreek. So rustig. Verskriklik vriendelik en uitstekende diens.

Scenery was awesome.
My family and I stayed there this past weekend. We enjoyed the scenery and the quietness, it was nice to be in touch with nature. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, especially if they need a break from the city life.

Value for money in a beautiful setting.
This retired couple enjoyed every minute of our mid-week stay at Fleckvieh. Clean, comfortable accommodation at a very reasonable rate in a beautiful setting. Helpful and friendly staff.

It was the best getaway.
Any person alone or family with kids and love outdoor and farm life would absolutely love the tranquil farm. It's the best place to recharge your batteries.

Very tranquil and a wonderful experience.
Affordable accommodation that delivers breathtaking views, can highly recommend it.

We loved it.
The surroundings are beautiful and we will visit the Eland cottage again.

Diens was puik.
Ons het baie lekker gekuier, plaas was pragtig en rustig, baie netjies en vriendelik.

Awesome.
Het ons vakansie terdeë geniet. Almal was vriendelik en die plek is asemrowend mooi. Ons is ook gratis opgegradeer na 'n groter wooneenheid toe daar 'n kansellasie was. Sal definitief weer daar gaan kuier.

Heerlike, rustige plaaskuier.
Pragtige omgewing en mooi kampplek so langs die dam - dit is rustig en lekker om te swem en sommer net te kan ontspan met pragtige grasperke!

Fantastic! Superb! Highly recommended!
Absolutely stunning! Friendly and accommodating staff. Highly recommended! Will definitely come again.

What a view. We relaxed.
Thanks for a nice, relaxing weekend. We'll stay here again.

Heerlike plaasverblyf.
Die chalet is lekker ruim. Die kinders het die plaasdiere baie geniet: perde, beeste, lammetjies melk gee en die vriendelike plaashonde wat hul oral opgepas het.

Was 'n belewenis.
Dit was regtig die mooiste plek en absoluut fantasties om als op die plaas te kon deel. Die natuur is asemrowend mooi! Sal beslis weer gaan en dit beslis aanbeveel vir enige iemand. Feesplek vir kinders.

'n Stukkie hemel op aarde.
Ons kon nie vir 'n beter plek gevra het nie. Die mooiste mooi uitsig! Die kinders het die plaaslewe tot die uiterste geniet. Om die lammertjies en kalwers te gaan voer was vir hulle 'n hoogte punt gewees. Baie dankie vir julle gasvryheid! Sien julle beslis weer gou-gou!

Wonderful place to stay and relax.
We had a wonderful time in nature at Fleckvieh Guestfarm. The staff are very friendly and helpful and we will be back in the future again.

Die staanplek is op groen gras langs die dam en het die mooiste uitsig op die berg! Baie rustige wegbreekplek.

It's our second time here for a study holiday. This time we were in Eland. We also brought my mom along as a gift for her 70th birthday and she thoroughly enjoyed sitting by the pond and reading her book. A roast or potjie was prepared every night and the fire lit. We went for walks with the dogs every morning and noon. We couldn't have asked for better. Farm fresh milk and eggs for breakfast. Close enough from Swellendam to drive in quickly if you need anything. We will see you again later in 2019.

Incredible accommodation, breathtaking scenery with the dam in front of you and the mountains in the background. Will definitely visit with my motorcycle friends again. Will sleep 2 nights next time and not just one night. Make the effort and visit the Fleckvieh Guestfarm family. You won't regret it.

Dit was ons tweede kuier hier, maar het die keer in die Takbok-chalet gebly. Ons het ongelooflik lekker gebly, ons en die kinders wou nie huis toe gaan nie. Thys se gasvryheid was weereens uit die boonste rakke en begin al voel soos familie. Die hele plaas is 'n absolute juweel met die mooiste uitsigte en wonderlike doendinge. Die plekkie gee vir jou die gevoel van die plaaslewe en ook die bos, weg van die gejaag van die stadslewe. Dit is een van ons gunsteling plekke en kan nie wag vir ons volgende kuier nie. Dankie Thys, vir die wonderlike tydjie, lekker melk en vriendelike gasvryheid. Julle is tops!

My family and I (2 kids, 2 dogs and 1 husband) visited Fleckvieh for a 3 night stay. There was so much for us to do and in such a safe and friendly environment. My teen and husband went wandering into the fields and foothills for hours; my 9 year old went egg finding and calf feeding - he even got to witness a calf being born; I went cycling on the trails above the farm. If you run out of things to do on the farm, Fleckvieh is also so close to other easily accessible towns and reserves. A really lovely stay with such friendly and helpful staff.

They stay was so nice, the view of nature is so nice.

What a lovely, relaxed place for a getaway! Stunning views of rolling fields and mountains, not to mention a dam you can swim and fish in! Very comfortable accommodation and friendly hosts. Not to mention, its also pet friendly, so you can take your fur babies along!

It was the most fantastic weekend. The facilities are great, the view is magical and the host was friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend it!

What a hidden gem we found at Flekvieh Guesthouse.
The views were exceptional and the atmosphere so tranquil and beautiful.
The hosts treated us as if we were friends, even though they had just met us.
The night drive was the highlight of our stay and we so appreciate the personal attention and care they put into that drive, including the snacks they specially drove into town for and the warm blankets. Our children loved it too and it will be a wonderful memory for us as a family.
Thank you Matthys and family for your hospitality.

Beautiful area and good facilities. Friendly farm hospitality.

The Eland chalet was the perfect weekend getaway! The little cabin has everything you need! We loved the peace & quiet of the farm! Will definitely visit again!

Great spot overlooking the dam, nice spacious rooms and deck and more than enough space for 6 to 8 people to enjoy their weekend away.

Dit was n belewenis om weer op n plaas te kon wees en die naweek met my gesin daar te kon deurbring. Alles was so mooi skoon in die chalet en die plaas lekker stil en rustig. Die dametjie wat ontvang het waa baie vriendelik. Baie dankie J. Ek sal definitief weer soontoe kom.
