Very unhappy:

1. Advert photos do not match reality. Please remove the river photo. My purpose of choosing Du Vlei was to do some river photography. I was told to walk down to the river, but be ""CARFUL FOR THE SNAKES!" ? WHAT ON EARTH???
2. I bought a bag of wood that I had to carry to the braai place myself ...very, very heavy. I had to carry the bag myself and hurt my back in the process. 
3. The advert says it is a working farm ...what? ...with all those rusty implements all over the place??

Establishments Response:

  T   The photos of the river were taken during our raining season, WINTER, a few years ago.As you all know, it is now mid November and NOT our raining season in this part of the country. We had a VERY dry winter, it is actually a drought-crisis in this area!
The warning for snakes was just a friendly warning to be on the lookout for them. My friend, you are on a farm and NOT in a city ? on farms we do have lots of animals - tame AS WELL AS wild animals, such as snakes, spiders, bats, birds, frogs, ants, etc! What did you expect???

2.     The guest bought a bag of braai wood and was surprised by the size of the bag for the
amount he paid. I suggested to carry the bag of wood for him, but he insisted on carrying it himself.
 
3.     Du Vlei IS a working farm! But as you will notice it was over a weekend when Mr Wesso was our guest. Farm work starts on Monday-mornings & ends on Friday-afternoons. Only minor farm duties, like the irrigation & feeding of the animals are carried out over weekends.
 
All the rusty implements, dating since the early 1900's, are on display and for decoration purposes only. It is a pity this guest does not know the difference between display implements and the real ones and could not appreciate the ?rusty? implements for what they are there for.
 
Some people don't have a clue what farming is about, I guess???.


Du Vlei farm accommodation by

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Beautiful setting and views. Enjoyed hearing the Fish Eagle calling and the sunrise over the mountains.
Well run operation.
Clean, comfortable, value for money accommodation.
Would recommend Du Vlei anytime as a stopover, or a base to explore the area from.
Also recommend the Restaurant and Farm stall. 




Visiting the Casteel by

I was disappointed because I specifically requested 2 separate bedrooms. Theresa was very kind and accommodating and moved us to the more upmarket (and separate!) house. I don't think I will use SafariNow again.... I was also charged R1215 whereas the rate is R1200. we paid in an extra R200 (quite understandable) for the upgraded accommodation
