• "Peace and nature"

  22 February 2021

  "Amenities are basic but fine as we come to be in nature. The variety of bird life within 100m of the house -is amazing a bird watcher's delight! The sunsets are stunning and the mountain views glorious. The owners are helpful and friendly."

• "Tranquility!"

  25 February 2018

  "This was by far the modt beautiful spot we ever camped. Heaven!"

• "Fishing fun!!!!"

  08 January 2018

  "We loved our stay and enjoyed the fishing immensely. This is one of the reasons why we keep on going back. The bass just love to bite. Very private and so clean!! One very nice surprise was the upgrades that was done. We love the rustic look but we also love a good flushing toilet and a shower. So the communal area was really nice. There we hardly any signal and we had to walk by the ridge of the dam to make a call, but that was positive! We came to get away from work and that is what we did. The people are also nice and friendly and I liked that they checked up on us. The lapa was so awesome in general with chairs, a big table and a zink and there's even a couple braai grids to use. Overall rating... 5 stars"

• "The views!"

  04 December 2017

  "We had a lovely time at the camp site, we were lucky that it was quiet and we were able to rest and enjoy the scenic views. The fire to heat our showers was fun and and experience. It taught the girls a lot :)"

• "The view, definitely"

  10 September 2017

  "It was so amazingly quiet. The view was incredible and everyone more than was more than helpfull. The ablution arrangements were almost cleaner and neater than at homw, and overall, it is a real comfortable and pleasant experience."

  10 July 2017

  "the farm stay was niceBut we did not feel welcome. The farmer just drove u to us and said that the keys were in the housesthe houses were nice and cleanbut they have a big problem with the fireplaces. it makes the whole house smell of smoke. We saw in the visitors book that many have complained about this but they have not fixed the problem. the braais out side were so small and rustedthe last night we made our own plan to fix the fireplaceWe never saw the farm owners the dog was lovely just sad he doesn't have a tag so we could get his name"

• "Uitvlugt"

  18 April 2017

  "Very Nice campsite with lovely views.Toilet paper and Cleaning toilets once a day would be advisable"

• "It was very peaceful and quiet"

  18 April 2017

  "The sites were too small and close to each other, clearly a new campsite, but I found the wording to be misleading on their website..The dam ( obviously) was very low, and the wind howled through the site - she did say that she will need to block off the end with some large trees to act as a windbreak. Quite unpleasant in the afternoons and evenings, which is not directly the establishment's problem."

• "I did not make use of my booking"

  21 March 2017

  "I could not make use of my reservation as the transport I was suppose to come with was involve in an accident.i had to cancel my hiking permits etc.how do I go about for a refund."

• "Going home"

  13 March 2017

  "Reception was unfriendly. Warm water was put on and off. Which made showering unpleasant. Bed was extremely uncomfy. Toilet not flushing properly."

• "Secluded & Inspiring"

  02 March 2017

  "The cottage I stayed in was nicely secluded with all the necessary facilities. It had a stunning view of McGregor as well as the farm. Great place to go to for rest, relaxation and inspiration."

• "Uitvlugt camping"

  21 December 2016

  "An incredible camp site. But not for the glampers amoung us. Very rustic with few sites, absolute solitude and amazing bird life. Bring shade with you.<br/>We loved it."

• "Great time at Uitvlugt!"

  28 August 2016

  "Uitvulgt is a wonderful getaway! It is peaceful and quiet. <br/>I would only suggest that they add information about the road to the cottage is a bit too rough for a non-4x4 car."

• "Camping Site"

  01 January 2016

  "No shade. No electricity or water if you are on the three camp sites furthermost from the communal wash up area. The showers, ablutions and communal wash up area are very basic and not pleasant to use. The donkey boiler must be fired up by the guests campsite users there is no hot water.<div><br /></div><div>The wind can really blow at this site so putting up a canopy to get out of the sun becomes impossible and due to the lack of trees at this campsite you will bake in summer so be aware.</div>"

• "What a disappointment"

  12 August 2015

  "<p>We hired the cottage for 4 for two nights. We did not enjoy our stay:<br></br><br></br></p><p>- the was no adequate heating offered - the 1 little blow fan did not work</p><p>- given the lack of heating, no decent carpeting is offered to make an attempt to warm the place<br></br><br></br></p><p>- the beds were shocking - they are lumpy foam beds, on creacky springs or base beds that should have been retired years ago<br></br><br></br><br></br><br></br>- of the two plastic beakers supplied for children (in a cottage billed as suitable for young families), the clear one had mould growing on it<br></br><br></br></p><p>- the fridge smelled so bad I did not put my food in it</p><p>- there is no lock on the front door - only a latch to which you can attach a padlock. We were not offered the padlock and key<br></br><br></br><br></br><br></br></p><p>- nobody came to check on us during our visit to see if everything was adequate - I expect they did not want to deal with the fall out? <br></br><br></br></p><p>- decor is non-existant with bare light bulbs the order of the day - <br></br><br></br></p><p>- the view from the rear windows is onto the local dumping site for broken farm equipment and the front door view looks out onto the shade netting. Other windows are dirty spoiling what view you might want to glimpse<br></br><br></br></p><p>Arlene Addison<br></br><br></br><br></br><br></br></p><p ></br></p><p ></br></p>"

• "SNQA - old review sitting in To Vett (Tarryn)"

  30 December 2014

  "Baie klein huisie, mooi skoon gewees. Pragtige omgewing, mooi uitsig en wonderlike stilte. Baie primitief. Bed was bietjie ongemaklik en ons sal definitief 'n afskorting verwelkom tussen die kamer en badkamer! Gasvrye ontvangs!"

• "Comfortably Rustic"

  03 December 2013

  "The owners are very friendly and helpful. To get to the campsite you have to travel along a farm road. The facilities are comfortably rustic, there are flushing toilets and the hot water in the shower is created by a donkey (a fire under a tin barrel of water). Unfortunately the weather was not great so we didn't get to take the row boat out into the dam but we did get to enjoy sitting in front of the big fire place. Certainly will be going back when we need to recharge our "batteries""

• "Great"

  10 April 2012

  "We had a great time camping at Uitvlugt. The weather wasn't great so we really appreciated the lapa that we could use and where we could braai. It was also great to have electricity. Very affordable with reasonable facilities."

• "3.5 Star rating"

  03 January 2012

  "I would give Uitvlugt a 3.5 Star rating. It was very clean and tidy. Our stay was enjoyed, very quite and peaceful. It was overall relaxing and the service received was very good. I feel relaxed and ready for all the 2012 challenges. I would go back there again. It catered for everyone as we were family ranging from nine years to 69 years of age."

• "Perfect"

  22 December 2011

  "If your are looking for quiet solitude and time to reflect, this is the campsite for you. The setting is perfect. A campsite on the banks of this perfect dam with mountains surrounding you. The facilities are clean and practical. There was a braai area in the lapa with electricity which sheltered us from the wind that seems to come up in the afternoons in McGregor. We woke to a perfect day and paddled around the dam in the boats provided. It was a fun time!"

  09 August 2011

• "Great"

  04 May 2011

  "We really enjoyed our stay, it was a pity that the dam was not full but in May we can't expect dams to be full in the Western Cape. The area was beautiful, and the campsite and ablution really clean."

• "Great"

  03 May 2011

  "When we first arrived we got the impression it was a dull boring place, but it was an absolute blast. We had lots of fun. The only downside we had was we had to pack up and leave a day early because of the terrible weather."
