    The shower takes some time to get used to, jumping between too hot and too cold for a while. That's the only downside we experienced.

    Very private and comfortable accommodation with tonnes of walking routes and farm animals within a short walk from your tent. We took a long walk down the farm route at 10pm and felt perfectly safe and comfortable. Beautiful scenery.

    I did not do my homework properly and travelled to stay in a tent in the middle of winter. It was cold and because it being tented accomodation really cold. I am sure in warmer months it would be perfect. The tent is quite dark on the inside so it is a bit difficult preparing food if you don't just put something in the micro. There is no washing up facililties for the dishes inside the tent. But again this would be much better if the weather is better.

    The location is idyllic to say the least. You are surrounded by forest trees, birds, solitude, absolutely lovely! And the brownies were a lovely suprise welcome gift!! The hosts were in contact early in the week with a pin location in the morning. And corresponded with things to do on the farm which was really helpful.

    Not that I didn't really like it, but it's quite far from town and there's no dinner/breakfast on site so you must be prepared. Also the access to the tent was a bit rough for our small rental car so we had to park it a bit further away. Not a big deal but again be prepared for that

    Sleeping in a tent AND in really good conditions in winter is a challenge, but this accommodation really delivered! We loved the spa and making fire in particular, as well as the fun of milking cows in the morning! The staff was super friendly and helpful, which made our stay very enjoyable in nature

    The little details such as split toilet seat, broken oil lamp, no toaster and rusty braai need some attention. Perhaps some pre-information on walks and the suitability or not for pensioners.

    The location was peaceful and tranquil, surrounded by forest. The accommodation was comfortable and well appointed,

    We had a very pleasant stay in our "Glamping" Tented Treehouse. We enjoyed the quiet surroundings and it was so nice to have a peaceful stay. The treetop views from the wooden deck was beautiful. We could relax and have a good rest. It was fun taking part in the feeding of the farm animals and to see the daily procedures of this working farm. The home-made ice-cream were so creamy and really delicious! We also enjoyed part of the farm hiking trail down to the small dam. Marcelle and Mia are very friendly hosts and we appreciate their hospitality. We will definately recommend Fernhill to fellow visitors. Greetings Elmarie & Johann

    Leaving!!!!

    Where to begin!? The amazing, friendly staff, Marcelle and Mia; the comfortable accommodation; the peace and quiet of a tented treehouse to reconnect with nature; the spa bath by candlelight while listening to soft rain pattering on the tent roof... I really had the most memorable stay at Fernhill and truly regret I did not book for more than one night. The farm walk is great for stretching the legs. And being able to meet the farm animals was exciting, particularly milking a cow for the first time since 19-voetsek! Also do yourself a GIANT favour and don't leave here before trying some of the delicious Fernhill foodie goodies, like the locally-made ice cream which is ohhhhh soooo gooooooood and creamy. The roasted macadamia nuts also had me going back for more. The Reenendal road leading to Fernill from the N2 has been recently tarred and is in great condition. Only the last kilometer or two to the farm is a dirt track in a fair condition, passable by any vehicle. Ten out of ten, I honestly can't wait to go back and stay for longer.

    Overall, I have no complaints. The water temperature of the shower varied a lot between hot and cold, but the host made us aware of that from the start.

    The stillness away from the madness of city life, waking up to all sorts of bird songs in a big, comfortable bed, being so close to nature, and having the opportunity to interact with the farm animals. On top of that, the hosts were friendly and made us feel welcome.
