Chrissiesmeer vacation rentals

We spent a wonderful Christmas week at the Flying Scotsman. The house is a gem with all the interesting light features, photos and memorabilia built around the theme. The layout of the house suited our needs with enough bedrooms and bathrooms for three generations. The amazing views from the stoep and every bedroom are spectacular and food for the soul. We saw many animals from the stoep and even an otter in the river. The house has all the amenities and facilities to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We enjoyed the braai facilities and “jacuzzi” as we named the sink round swimming pool. The playroom/TV room was a treasure awaiting to be discovered by old and young. We did some fly-fishing, walking/hiking and visiting the lodge. This is truly a comfortable house for a family get together in a beautiful location. We enjoyed every minute.

Enjoyed our stay as a safe, beautiful and simple stop-over between Durban and The Bush

Willow Tree Cottage was a fantastic place to stay while attending a wedding at the Smitsfield venue (only 15 mins away). The cottage has a well stocked kitchen and bar, with plenty of glassware. The deck is unique and super comfortable to sit, chill and chat with friends. The location is serene and quiet with great sunrises over the dam and plenty of wildlife. Theresa is a fantastic host and answered all of my questions, quickly and effectively. And all of the instructions were concise and easy to follow. I was concerned about the mention of the dirt road to the cottage but it was very manageable in my Suzuki Swift (I just had to drive slow, especially considering it had rained). However, a vehicle with a higher suspense is definitely advised. I wish we had more time at the cottage and would definitely stay there again.

My stay was excellent, staff were very helpful. I'll definitely stay here again.

Absolutely enjoyable experience, peaceful and serene. Spent the week fishing in their dam and other local dams with my Farther, caught plenty bass, was a really fun experience and hope to see the area again soon. Marilé was a great host, always helpful and responsive.

We felt at home and really enjoyed our stay . The kitchen was fully stacked with everything we needed to make the stay comfortable. I’d recommend this place

Place was pristine . Love the layout .

Our stay at Boothuis was absolutely peaceful and immersed in nature. Chrissie Lake is stunning, and it was lovely waking up to the sounds and sights of the surrounding wildlife. Esbie is a super host, providing detailed instructions for a seamless self-check-in. The accommodation itself was fantastic. It was cozy and well thought out, with a great fireplace, a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable rooms, and a creatively designed shower. A perfect retreat for anyone looking to unwind in a beautiful natural setting!

We had an amazing time! Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you can possibly think of! Kitchen basics the works. Views are amazing and the staff are super friendly!! The one thing that was very disappointing was the swimming pool. It was dirty after the rain. We requested they come and clean and get the pump going but no one came. Fortunately we had cooler weather but had it been warm throughout our stay this would have been a big frustration since we have young children. Based on expectations created the pool should really recieve more attention.
