Iets heeltemal anders. Neem 'n mens terug in die verlede. Heerlike oornag.

Dit was 'n heerlike en interessante oornagverblyf. Die gasvrou was vriendelik en het na elke behoefte van ons omgesien. Ons het dit baie geniet om weer in 'n outentieke treinwa te slaap, want as jongmense het ons baie trein gery. Wonderlike herinneringe! Die wa is keurig opgeknap en ingerig met alle moderne geriewe.

Something completely different. Takes one back into the past. Great overnight stay.

It was a lovely and interesting overnight stay. The hostess was friendly and looked after our every need. We really enjoyed sleeping in an authentic train car again, because as youngsters we traveled a lot by train. Wonderful memories! The wagon has been carefully renovated and furnished with all modern conveniences.

Een van die lekkerste plekke wat ek nog oorgebly het.

Lieflike plek om oor te bly. Rustigheid vanself op 'n plaas. Gasvrou gaan uit haar pad om jou tuis te laat voel. Sal definitief weer hier oorbly.

One of the nicest places I've ever stayed.

Lovely place to stay. Tranquility by itself on a farm. Hostess goes out of her way to make you feel at home. Will definitely stay here again.

Wonderlik.

Ongelooflike ervaring, so bitter uniek. Baie mooi plaas en moes baie fotos neem om almal te wys. Slegs een voorstel nie kritiek nie. Ons het redelik laat daar aangekom en moes ietsie gaan soek om te eet. Ek het baie sleg gevoel om so laat in die aand te pla vir toegang tot die perseel. Moontlike oplossing is 'n hek met 'n kode, want ek weet gaste ry soms weg met 'n remote. Slegs 'n voorstel. Baie lekker gebly.

Wonderful.

Incredible experience, so bitterly unique. Very nice place and had to take a lot of photos to show everyone. Only one does not suggest criticism. We got there quite late and had to go find something to eat. I felt very bad for bothering to enter the premises so late at night. Possible solution is a gate with a code, because I know guests sometimes drive away with a remote. Only a suggestion. Very nice stay.

Unieke ervaring in die hartjie van die Noord-Kaap.

Wonderlike akkommodasie met uitstekende eienaars. Die trein is oorspronklik, maar tog luuks.

A special experience.

This is a special place, an old rail carriage (ex Drakensberg) has been converted into accommodation. It has 2 compartments with a double bed in each, a spacious sitting and eating area, a toilet, and a separate shower. Both sleeping compartments have a small sink. All in the original atmosphere of an old-fashioned train carriage. Our stay was very pleasant and quiet. The farm is situated next to the N12, and one can faintly hear the road traffic. For train enthusiasts, the bonus is to possibly hear and see a train go past. We were lucky to have seen the Rovos Rail going by.

Dit was vreeslik lekker. Die eienaars was ook so behulpsaam en baie aangenaam. Die kinders was excited en ons het baie lekker geslaap. Sal Butlersrail vir enige een aanbeveel.

Dit was so rustig en kon regtig lekker relax om die vuur en air. Dit het die hele treinwa lekker koud gemaak. Alles was daar wat ons nodig gehad het. 10 uit 10.

It was awfully nice. The owners were also so helpful and very pleasant. The children were excited and we slept very well. Would recommend Butlersrail to anyone.

It was so peaceful and could really relax around the fire and air. It made the whole train car very cold. Everything was there that we needed. 10 out of 10.
