"Loved the beautiful Forrest cottage, the king size bed with a royal view of the woods. The gardens are breathtaking and we had a lovely time strolling around with our little kids, having picnics and playing in little streams. They also enjoyed the jungle gym and swimming pool and we enjoyed the tennis court. Kitchen very well equipped. Enjoyed evenings by the fireplace. The gravel road was also well looked after, so it was a pleasure driving in and out to visit other places in the area. Will definitely be back. "


"Friendly resort in secluded location"

"Well equipped self-catering cottage in secluded resort about 10 minutes from Haenertsburg.
About 2km off the main R71 along a dirt road in poor condition.
Unfortunately the power went out on the third day due to a tremendous thunderstorm and wasn't back on when I left 60 hour later !

"Jady is wonderfully welcoming and warm. The cottage was superbly clean and very well stocked with everything we needed. The mountain air was crisp and healthy! The atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable."


"Nice weekend away"

(South Africa) Kim van Greunen

"We stayed in Paul's cottage which was cozy & comfortable, you get what you pay for. Fireplace and electric blankets were well needed in the chilly mountains in winter.

"Our whole family enjoyed the stay at Cheerio very much. The dams and gardens are stunning and there are great paths to walk and just enjoy the beauty and fresh air. The cottage kitchen is very well equipped (the best I have ever seen), there are lovely electric blankets on all the beds, nice soft towels, the water is hot instantly and the fireplace with complimentary wood is great. I give Cheerio a well deserved 5 star rating and would love to go back for a longer stay one day. The surrounding area is also lovely and the Haernetsburg with it's classic style and atmosphere is just 3km away. We had no problems using the road leading to Cheerio in our small sedan. Thanks for a great stay and your hospitality. "


"We had a great time!"

(South Africa) Gerna Erasmus

"Our family really enjoyed our stay at Cheerio Trout Fishing and Holiday Resort. The facilities were excellent, the views from our cabin were spectacular and the staff at Cheerio were very helpful. We will definitely recommend Ceerio Resort to our friends and family.

"A tranquil and serene winter experience at Cheerio"

"Although the booking was done at short notice, everything was in order at our arrival. The evening winter cold was neutralised by a beautiful fire in the fireplace and warm blankets on the beds.

We enjoyed the peace and quiet of out of season whilst still enjoying strolls on the lovely hiking trails. Bird watching was still excellent and we even managed to see a pair of Knysna louries. This place is worthwhile to visit any time of the year, although the out-of-season

tariff is a bit steep."

The chalet we stayed in was extremely well equipped for self-catering, and very comfortable indeed. For us the Cheerio certainly lived up to the description we were given and we'd have no hesitation in recommending it to friends and acquaintances, and indeed, we already have. "

"Cheerio Farm is one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed at. We arrived at night, so when we opened our curtains in the morning, we were completely amazed at the breathtaking beauty of the mountains and forests right outside our window! The staff were very helpful and even came and built a fire for us in the cottage because it was cold a rainy. We went for a long walk in the forest and to the 4 dams on the property. One of the dams is a fly fisherman's paradise! We saw trout rising the whole time that we stood there and watched. The cottage was immaculately clean and very cozy. We stayed in Rainbow cottage. We will definitley return soon and highly recommend it to other travellers looking for some real R&R. "

"Wonderful."

(South Africa) Fabian Arends

Later I took a walk through the gardens and meet up with Carol who also introduced me to her husband who was also very friendly. The chalet also has everything one wants in it. We had a braai that evening and just sat watching the sun go down. It really was lovely and very quiet. As we had just come from the Kruger National Park this was an ideal place to rest overnight and then carry on with our journey back home to Alberton. We are planning holiday to the Kruger National Park next year in May again and we will (if there is accommodation available) be booking in on our way down and back. I have told all my friends about the place and hope they will all follow our footsteps in the near future."

"Cheerio Farm is in a beautiful part of the country, we would like to go back when the weather is better, we had a very cold night and woke up to a cold, damp foggy morning. Our hostess Carol was very nice and provided us with an adequate breakfast. We were in Rainbow chalet, it was very comfortable and had everything you would need for a self-catering weekend. The best was a lovely log fire which we really enjoyed as it was so cold."

"What a great place to wind down and enjoy a bit of quiet time in nature, while still enjoying the comforts of modern living with clean modern cottages. I really enjoyed the beautiful hiking trials maintained by Cheerio. Although I am not a fisherman, I am surely going to take up trout fishing after watching others catch trout out of their scenic pond bordering a plantation. "

"From the warm reception you receive from the owner, Carol None`, to the plush vegetation and aesthetic layout of the chalets, augmented by a beautiful pool area and a crystal clear dam with jumping fish, as if to say "welcome" to the visitors; and to the great service from the cleaning ladies (who seem to be there just when one needs them, but are gone before you complain about your space), Cheerio Trout Fishing Lodge is where you want to be, come rain or sunshine!
