"We enjoyed our staying in Batrleur very much. The house was very good, well equpped. During our hiking trip we managed to see many wild animals. Very tranquil place. Girafes come close to the houses. I recommend the place!"
"We loved our weekend stay at Mispel Cottage and a feel a weekend was definitely too short. The unspoilt nature of the reserve was so refreshing and the kids loved sitting around the fireplace at night. Although the accommodation is basic it was comfortable enough and very well kept.
Thank you W..."

Accommodation an old farmhouse, fine but a bit overpriced"

"The accomodation at the Cottage was comfortable and neat. It is a beautiful reserve with many hiking trails for both experienced and inexperienced hikers. We saw many different antelope, wildebeest and giraffe on our walks. Certainly worth a visit if you love nature walks."
"Ons het 'n baie rustige en waarde-vir-geld naweek by die Natuurreservaat beleef. Alhoewel ons jou nie gesien het nie Wouter, het ons tog die indruk gekry dat julle baie 'agter die skerms' doen om mens so tuis as moontlik te laat voel. Ons het dit werklik geniet en sal beslis weer soontoe gaan.
"Very calm and quiet. There was a bush fire which ruined our hut. I accept that nature will restore itself shortly after the fire and then I advise that anyone who wants to breakaway from the busy year. There are fun hiking trails, just not clearly marked.
Baie stil en rustig. Daar was 'n vel..."
