Soos duidelik blyk uit die volgende opmerkings het die eienaar van Minwater, Louis Jordaan, 'n uitgebreide kennis van sy veld in die algemeen en die plante van Minwater in die besonder en deel hy sy kennis en Minwater se rykdom graag met besoekers:
"Dit was 'n fees om Louis as gids saam te hê en veral sy kennis van die vetplante was 'n ryke ervaring."
(Corrie Laubscher van die Suid-Kaapse Hak-tot-Toon-Voetslaanklub in Die Burger van 2 September 2003)
"...dat almal hulle verluister het aan Louis se kennis van die veld. Op sy hurke is hy op sy gelukkigste wanneer hy jou vertel van waar die kleinste vetplantjie tot bome in die natuur inpas. In so 'n groot klaskamer, met so 'n kundige dosent, wens jy die tyd moet stilstaan..."
(Danie Snyman, gasheer van Incopho-4x4-klub in Die Burger van 25 Januarie 2005)
"And believe me, if you thought for a second that the succulent karoo was boring, then this is the tonic you need. This man brings the veld to life; in fact this is, without doubt, the best interpretive floral tour that I came across in all my travels for this book." and
"Louis is an absolute fundi with a contagious passion for the Karoo."
Fiona McIntosh in Southbound Guide to South Africa's World Heritage Sites: Cape Floral Region Protected Areas
"...our host's enthusiasm and boundless knowledge of the little things that grow on the ground certainly will astound you." and
"Allow him to share his passion... for Minwater's floral kingdom. It's a treat as well as a humbling experience."
(Ken Gerhardt in South African 4x4 Magazine van Julie 2003)
