Fantastic break from the city by

Absolute breathtaking views and isolation. We really can't wait to go back and didn't miss the lack of electricity at all

Thoughtful and ambient by

I initially booked at the Experience 1880 as a stop over on the way back to JHB from coffee bay. It is difficult to put in words how we experienced the place and a word that comes to mind is serenity. We just felt comfortable and relaxed from when we arrived to when we left. Everything is picturesque - the misty mornings, the cows and horses, the rooms. We absolutely loved it and wished we could actually stay a few days longer

The horse riding was defnitley the highlight by

My Family and I really enjoyed the stay at the house. It was a great break away and the lack of cell coverage was the bonus.

an absolute tech detox by

We knew when we booked our stay, that there would be no electricity/coms, but living it was quite an experience indeed: We were forced to talk to each other instead of whatsapp; the kids played boardgames instead of on tablets; they stared at the stars and into the fire, instead of at the TV; we read books instead of facebook updates; and went exploring physically instead of via Google. I would definitely encourage packing in a small torch per person, especially in Winter - it does get dark quite early, and once its dark, it's VERY dark! And perhaps some blitz/firelighters - yes, I know that's cheating, but it does make things a little easier... It was a fabulous experience all around!
