"A great escape from the daily grind for those eager to get back to basics."
"Lovely view and great walks"
"If you're looking to escape and I mean really escape from the throngs of city life, then Dirk se Huisie is the perfect mountain getaway. Nestled within the Cedarderg mountains Dirk se Huisie is a secluded wonder. No electricty & mininmal signal this humble yet magical cottage is perfect if you're after tranquil beauty. The hosts, Elzette, Oom Appel/Jannie & everyone we encountered was super accommodating & friendly!"
"Mountains and views and peacefulness! Lovely walks!Lighting at night is not sufficient for reading etc."
"beautifull area, nice and quiet.however overpriced, the fact that you need to bring your own linen, cussions cleaning utensils firewood and take your rubbish home does not go down well.shower mediocre not very hot for winter"
"Definitely for a proper relaxation and off the grid, Dirk se Huisie is the place to be. That dam and lilos! (Yeah i burnt). We just cooked for 3 days and enjoyed the view with it. What a magical little treasure. We want to come again soon!"

"Beautiful setting, rustic but sufficiently equipped, very friendly and helpful hosts that go above and beyond to make your stay memorable; the perfect setting to recharge your batteries and appreciate nature."
"What a awesome weekend."
"Quiet, just off the proverbial beaten track, high above the hot Citrusdal and Swartland, with views to even Baardskeerdersbos if it is clear! Beautiful hike up a mountain from the back door of the house, through varied fynbos and with spectacular weathered rocks like in the Cederberg (including a massive arch)."
"Absolutely, amazing!!!!<br/>Beautifully done and completely off the grid. Makes you realize how much you don't need electricity, TV, internet, microwave and other "essentials" in life. Just good company, a glass of wine and a beautiful sunset"
"We really enjoyed our stay (although 2 nights was much too short!). The house is really well built and positioned to take advantage of the amazing views and natural surroundings.<br/><br/>Simple and delightfully electricity-less, it's a fantastic place to relax."
"Ek en Lallie het die stilte en rustigheid by Dirk se huisie waardeer. Alles was skoon en netjies. Johan en Pina is twee agtermekaar mense en baie gasvry.<div>Ek sal weer Dirk se huisie besoek as ek 'n wegbreek naweek het.</div>"
"This is a wonderful little gem. We had the most amazing time. The view is soooo beautiful and you can sit and enjoy it for hours. The host are so friendly and treat you like family. One word...PERFECT!"

"It's really a "golden sunset"! From a lovely and charming place in the mountains, we admired an insanely beautiful sunset far in the ocean.A cozy heart warming cottage in a peaceful place. We also had fun trekking, a path starting right behind the house took us up to some really nice views."
