A Little gem called Onverwacht is tucked away in the beautiful Riviersonderend Mountains between McGregor and Greyton. This mountain range connects the Boesmanskloof Hiking Trail and Die Galg with the neighbour towns McGregor and Greyton. Onverwacht Cottages are surrounded by breathtaking views from many angles of the Riviersonderend Mountains The sounds of the Gobos River at the foot of this accommodation place bring peace to the soul. This treasure will restore the energies of the city sleekers

Uit die boeke!
Ons het op die laaste minuut besluit om Wacky Wine toe te gaan en na 'n geweldige soektog was Waboom Cottage by Boesmanskloof Onverwacht Flora die enigste beskikbare verblyf groot genoeg om ons groep van 10 te kon akkommodeer..
Maar ons was so bly dat dit ons huis vir die naweek was!
Die feit dat dit 'n entjie se ry van Robertson af was het op die ou end nie eers saak gemaak nie.
Die plek is pragtig en die uitsig is iets wat ons altyd sal onthou!
Die huis self is perfek en ten volle toegerus, dit was nie nodig om enige iets behalwe klere en kos in te pak nie!
Daar was ook geen kans vir koud kry in die nag nie aangesien daar oorgenoeg beddegoed was en selfs warmwaterbottels.
Die feit dat daar nie krag is nie is ook geen kwessie nie want daar is genoeg kerse en gaslampe vir elke vertrek.
En ons stem saam met die vorige gaste - geen krag is deel van Boesmanskloof Onverwacht se "charm".
Ons kan nie wag om weer te gaan nie!
Baie dankie aan Sandra en Japie Oosthuizen vir jul hulp en gasvryheid - ons waardeer dit opreg!

Dear Japie and Sandra.
Thanks for the quote on the way to “paradise” the last couple of steps made the hike even more worth it.
Its places like this that ensure one remains grounded and appreciative of what is necessary for a meaning ful life.
I wonder how many people have been transformed by your creation of 0nverwacht.
Thanks for a great stay.
Beste Japie en Sandra
Ons is so jammer dat ons julle nie ontmoet het nie, ons sou graag persoonlik wou sê hoe 'n heerlike ondervinding ons kuier daar was.
Dit was net wat ons nodig gehad het en het die stilte, die skoonheid van die omgewing en die kliphuisie.
Ek het foto's aan al ons vriende gestuur en hulle aangemoedig om dit ook te gaan beleef.
Ek het 'n glas gekraak, ek hoop julle het die R20 in die glas gekry.
Indien ons ooit weer Kaap toe, sal ons definitief weer daar wil oorbly.
Vriendelike groete
Richard en Tokkie Young
Thank you so very much for this amazing place.
Seeing the amount of effort put into the preparation and decor of the rooms up to each minute detail was uniquely South African and comforting.
I know that I enjoyed my rest here and I am possitive that my group as well.
The stay was spetacular and the view of the valley astounding.
We all want to extend our great appreciation to you.
Many thanks.
Trek Group 3.
Liewe Sandra en Japie.
Dit was my en johan se 4de keer wat ons julle besoek en elke keer was dit asof ons nader aan die hemel was.
Hierdie keer het ons as n werksfunksie gekom en dit was ongelooflik baie lekker.

Ons gaan beslis weer kom. Mag julle geseend bly.
Liefde.
Oom Japie en tannie Sandra.
Baie dankie dat ons ook in julle paradys kan kom deel.
n Mens kry weer perspektief oor die lewe as mens so na die berge kyk en die stilte ervaar.
Ek verstaan nou hoekom Moses altyd na die berg gegaan het om stil te word en te luister.
Baie dankie ons sal definitief weer kom. Groete.
