5 STAR - WEDDING VENUE

Ons dogter het by Dwarsberg getrou. Die natuurskoon is absoluut pragtig. Suzaan is 'n uitstekende sameroeper en was deurentyd entoesiasies met voorstelle, idees en aanpassings. Die dag was 'n ongelooflike fees. Dwarsberg se natuurskoon en personeel het hul beste gegee. Die kos was heerlik, die verblyf eerste klas en die lokaal pragtig. Baie dankie Vir 'n onvergeetlike onthou dag! Ons beveel Dwarsberg onomwonde aan vir enige bruidspaar.

WEDDING VENUE

5 STAR

🌿✨ If you're fortunate enough to be ABLE to secure a booking at Dwarsberg Trout Hideaway, then let me tell you, you're in for a treat. 🏞️🏞️

Have you ever wondered what lies behind the mountain after leaving the Huguenot Tunnel? Well, let me tell you, it's another valley that I can only describe as Eden. 🌄

From the moment you enter the gate and park at reception, you can't help but walk backwards to check in - the view is just that good. The river flows and trickles just a few meters away, with the breathtaking Hawequas Mountain catchment area in the background. 🌊🏔️

The lawns are lush and green, and you're immediately tempted to kick off your shoes and ground yourself. 🌱 We stayed at one of their three 4x4 campsites, and let me just say, these are no ordinary campsites. The private ablutions are spotless, the shower is huge, and the wash-up area defines adequacy. 💦 But the pièce de résistance? The Kol Kol hot tub. We soothed away our week's stress over the weekend, and there was also a beautiful covered area to finish it off. Even the braai had some thought put into it. 🔥🌭

Ladies and gentlemen, paradise is only an hour out of town, and it's called Dwarsberg Trout Hideaway. 😍✨

Very good stay. The unit is very well kitted with utensils and beautiful finishes. Incredibly clean and peaceful. I loved the thoughtful touches and best of it all the lemon verbena argan oil scent! LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this.

Perfekte wegbreek. Personeel is altyd so vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons kon nie genoeg van die nuwe Bistro spysaart items kry nie.
Ons sien julle gou weer!

Dwarsberg is die perfekte plek vir n wegbreek saam die gesin! Die Tant kappie huisie kon ons hele gesin akkommodeer en die kinders het hulslf gate uit geniet! Genoeg plek om fiets te ry, te swem en te baljaar. Baie vriendelike personeel wat die ekstra myle gaan vir die gaste. Die kiosk verskaf al die nodige items, so dit was glad nie nodig om dorp toe te ry nie. Ons kom beslis weer.

The staff is so welcoming and friendly! Everyone is treated like family at Dwarsberg Trout Hideaway.
The pod houses are amazing, we had a peak at the others too. Appreciated the assistance with the wood-fired hot tub. The Pizza's at the bistro is a must! They even offered to deliver our food to our unit. We will be back soon! The place is heaven on earth!

We camp here on the weekend of the 28th of Febr 2020. What an absolute experience. If you want tranquility, this is the place to be. Well looked after lawns and bathrooms are very neat. Just a pity it is fully booked all the time. Will definitely return. I can recommend this place a 100%

Peaceful , beautiful place with excellent service and a unique accommodation experience. Loved the style of the accommodation, and how it so beautifully encompassed the nature around it . If you're a fan of walking , then you'll be incredibly pleased by the beauty this place offers on your morning / evening walk . The staff were so helpful and friendly. We will return for more👏

Amy Jessica Deakin

We love camping at Dwarsberg. Facilities are clean. Each site has their own bathroom. It feels as if you have the campsite to yourselves. The river is crystal clear and great for swimming. Definitely recommend it!

Leana Hendrickse

Little hidden gem. Long dirty road, but all the campsites are on the river. Clean and tranquil.

Paul Niemantinga

We really enjoyed the past weekend. The place itself is very beautiful. The ablution area clean and more than decent. The staff very helpful. Would go back anytime They gave us the code to the gate ahead of time as we arrived after 7pm. Our view in the morning on campsite 2 was spectacular. We took a short hike on Saturday amongst the pear orchards and vineyard, wow, this was awesome. I took a brief dip in the river as it was icy cold, what an experience. Must be quite nice to swim in warmer months. Well done Dwarsberge. Sedick & family

Sedick Isaacs

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The view from the stoep of Tant Sarie was great. The clear skies made star gazing at pleasure. We will return.

Peter Erasmus

Spent the Easter weekend at the cottages and would highly recommend Dwarsberg. Stunning scenery, activities for kids, clean and cosy cottages. Definitely has a feel of being away from it all and living on a farm in the mountains.

Naim Rassool

We always have a great stay at Dwarsberg, the cottages are quaint, rustic and perfect for a weekend getaway. The river pools offer a much needed cool down after a long bike ride or hike up the valley. Go there to chill out, relax and disconnect from the 'real' world. Although they are fully booked most weekends, it never feels busy as the campsites are so far apart.

Anna Kritzinger

Just spent the most amazing night at oom eddy. If you have the opportunity to visit this space. Take it. Clean their attention to detail make it absolutely luxurious. It's a place away from everting. No TV but nature and everything else makes it the most romantic getaway! Can't wait to go there again. Will recommend them to everyone.
