"The stone chalet was original and different. It was clean, but the beds and bedding are horrible. Duvet smelled of previous guests. That was unacceptable. The beds really old and uncomfortable. Very little investment in the place. Owners very nice and friendly. Pity so neglected."

"Spent 2 nights there with my 3 young children, and we all enjoyed the place.Value for money is good, don't expect luxury for that price but a nice setting and the managers are friendly and helpful."

"Very good. Will go their again. I will tell people about the lovely place."

"The management was very friendly and accommodating. The gardens were well kept. The braai meat we bought at the shop was fresh and tasty.

The chalets had little natural light."

"Accommodation and facilities are basic and clean. Staff and hosts are friendly and you feel welcome from the minute you arrive.

Great stay and thank you for the 'braai' on Saturday evening - it felt like home."

"We had a pleasant stay."

"For our family it was an experience. And a good one at that. This is not your Aventura resort but the kindness and the warmth of the owners is gratifying. We rested well, the place is neat and the spiritual experience was great. Real farm cooking and food. Kids loved the place."

"The cottages are set in a beautiful, peaceful yet rustic atmosphere filled with bird life and surrounded by mountains. Not forgetting the displays of artworks. Surprisingly affordable and close to some supreme nature spots. The owners are friendly, down to earth people that made us feel very welcome..."

Surprisingly affordable and close to some supreme nature spots. The owners are friendly, down to earth people that made us feel very welcome. We opted for supper and breakfst - more than enough food and absolutely scrumptious!

If you love nature, this is an ideal spot!"

"We had a wonderful time. Very relaxing and absolutely affordable. Basic but comfortable."

"A very pleasant one night stay in a cute stone cottage. Nice swim in the pool which was warm in February.
Management very friendly and helpful. Good value. Lovely braai.
Will stay there again."

"Apartment very very cute and comfortable. Good value for money. The location is very favorable and unique opportunity to visit Blade River Canyon from the north. Staff very friendly and helpful"

"I had a good stay at The Shoe Guest House, the people are really friendly. One thing I have to mention is that they should dust more."

The little shop has a lot of interesting things and the cave is quite spiritual and meaningful. Can recommend The Shoe to anyone who is thinking of heading to Te Blydepoort Canyon and will most definitely go and stay at the shoe again in the future. Thanks for the great stay."

"Lovely stay in one of the units. Friendly reception. Try the Shoe Mega burger from their restaurant, huge and yummy!"

"Michelle and Aldo van Zyl, who hosted us, were friendly and always helpful. We had a pleasant stay and the staff on the ground are kind and helpful also. The shoe tour was interesting and we loved all the artist things for sale."
