J'ai tout aimé. Super emplacement au calme pour une 1ère nuit en Afrique du Sud avant d'entamer le Blyde River Canyon. Nous avions un chalet avec la terrasse carrément au dessus du lac: attention, bruit des crapauds toute la nuit, mais bouchons d'oreilles fournis....cheminée dans le chalet, petits gâteaux maison offerts...très bien équipé
On peut également y manger mais on ne le savait pas

Sehr saubere, tolle Holzhütte. Total gemütlich mitten in der Natur. Küche in der Hütte hatte alles was man braucht. Super leckeres Frühstück. Rainer gibt einem tolle Tipps für Unternehmungen in der Umgebung und hilft einem bei der Reservierung im besten Restaurant von Graskop. Alles war einfach perfekt!

Mon partenaire et moi avons récemment séjourné dans le chalet n°4 de Zur Alten Mine, tenu par Walli et Rainer, et nous avons été absolument enchantés par notre expérience. Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été captivés par l'atmosphère paisible et naturelle de l'endroit. S'endormir et se réveiller au son des animaux locaux était comme assister à un concert naturel, apportant une touche de magie à notre séjour.
L'emplacement de Zur Alten Mine est idéalement situé, offrant un point de départ parfait pour explorer toutes les merveilles de la région. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la randonnée recommandée de 3 à 4 heures dans le Blyde River Canyon, une expérience à couper le souffle qui restera gravée dans nos mémoires.
Le petit-déjeuner servi était non seulement délicieux mais aussi très généreux, nous donnant toute l'énergie nécessaire pour nos aventures quotidiennes. Nous tenons à remercier spécialement Rainer pour tous ses précieux conseils et sa convivialité, qui ont grandement contribué à rendre notre séjour encore plus agréable.
Nous recommandons chaleureusement Zur Alten Mine à tous ceux qui cherchent un lieu de séjour à la fois relaxant et proche des attractions principales de la région. Merci Walli et Rainer pour ce merveilleux séjour !

De eigenaar was super behulpzaam! Hij heeft ons geholpen onze koffers terug te krijgen die vergeten waren op het vliegveld. De locatie top! Eten super! Veel zelf gemaakt.
Lekkere hout kachel op de kamer. Het was geweldig. Alleen vond ik het zelf iets minder fijne gedachten, dat het een houten huisje was met mijn mega spinnen angst.
De weg met de auto door het wat donkere straatje als je wat later, net als ons arriveert en is dan ook vrij hobbelig. Marja opzich niet erg. Je zit prachtig!

The setting was gorgeous, the cottages have a nostalgic feel to it, beautifully kept with original details, a cosy woodstove (wood supplied) makes it complete. Delicious homemade cookies and a wondelful host make you feel so welcome. The travel tips are spot on. And of course the breakfast is fantastic!
Nothing, everything was great!

Our car broke down as we arrived.
We where planning on going shopping in Graskop so didn't have any food. Our hosts supplied food from their own fridge so we could eat that night and even supplied us with a bottle of wine. They assisted us in getting our car to a mechanic in Hazyview and ensured that we arrived safely by following after us. Extraordinary and very special people.
A beautiful place to stay and the service is exceptional, breakfast was great with a lot of the produce home made and very tasty and filling. Kept us going on a stressful day.
Will stay there again without hesitation. 10 out of 10.

We stayed in the honeymoon chalet - it was well appointed and the shower is really worth mentioning! The owner has taken steps to mitigate load shedding by providing solar power - real peace of mind for the traveler who can't drive around with non-electric back-up in their bags. The breakfast was outstanding and Rainer catered for both myself, a vegan, and my partner, gluten-intolerant, with a delicious start to the day. It was a treat to stay here and expetional value for money.

Only downfall was load shedding, we had about 4 hours of power when awake but that’s out of the owners hands.
