'n Kopskuif-ondervinding wat ons nie vir enige ander reiservaring sal verruil nie.

Die modderhuis op Bloukrans is selfs meer afgesonderd as wat ons ooit kon raai. Perfek ingerig binne, warm beddegoed teen die winterkoue, warm water, gasstoof, baie kastrolle, panne, koffieketel. Sonkraglig en kerse. Karoo-boeke. Salige bank en braaigeriewe agter, rustige geitjies teen die vensterkosyn, snags die geluid van groot vlerke ('n uil?) op die dak. Franci bring beesstert, lamsbrede, vetkoeke (en dalk Malawiese Elizabeth se wonderlike samoesas) op bestelling. Moenie eens self aan kosmaak vir aandete dink nie. Buite: snags die sterrehemel, windpompe, die Buffelsrivier waarvoor jy groot respek kry. Absolute stilte, ruwe rante, die veld wat tydens ons verblyf begin ontwaak het. Sonder sein, WiFi, stadsgeluide, misdaad, winkels, televisie en bevry van jou daaglikse roetine, betree jy 'n onvergeetlike, lewensverrykende ruimteverwringing (space warp). Enkele opmerkings: 1) 'n Nutsvoertuig met hoë bakwerk en alleterreinbande kan die klipperige grondpad na Bloukrans maklik hanteer. Ná goeie reën kan 'n viertrekvoertuig padlangs oor die rivier kom. Daarsonder, soos in ons geval, laat Franci jou jou bagasie op haar bakkie laai. Jy los jou voertuig daar en sy neem jou Modderhuis toe. 2) Radio-opvangs is uitstekend. Oorweeg dit om 'n kleintjie saam te neem. 3) 'n LED-lampie of twee is handig. 4) Pak hoede en 'n kamera in!

A mind-blowing experience that we wouldn't trade for any other travel experience.

The mud house on Bloukrans is even more isolated than we could have ever guessed. Perfectly furnished inside, warm bedding against the winter cold, hot water, gas stove, plenty of pots, pans, coffee kettle. Solar light and candles. Karoo books. Blissful sofa and braai facilities at the back, peaceful geckos against the window frame, at night the sound of large wings (an owl?) on the roof. Franci brings oxtail, lamb chops, fat cakes (and maybe Malawian Elizabeth's wonderful samosas) to order. Don't even think about cooking dinner yourself. Outside: at night the starry sky, windmills, the Buffelsrivier for which you gain great respect. Absolute silence, rugged ridges, the field that began to awaken during our stay. Without signal, WiFi, city noises, crime, shops, television and freed from your daily routine, you enter an unforgettable, life-enriching space warp. A few comments: 1) A utility vehicle with a high body and all-terrain tires can easily handle the rocky dirt road to Bloukrans. After good rain, a four-wheel drive vehicle can cross the river along the road. Otherwise, as in our case, Franci lets you load your luggage onto her van. You leave your vehicle there and she takes you to the Mud House. 2) Radio reception is excellent. Consider bringing a little one along. 3) An LED light or two is handy. 4) Pack hats and a camera!

Rustig, pragtig, sielerus.

Ons was so verras met die Modderhuisie, baie smaakvol versier en alles wat jy nodig het. Daar is nie selfoonontvangs nie (daar is wel 'n plekkie wat jy kry sou jy teen die berg uitry) en dit maak dat jy regtig uitrus en sommer jouself weer vind. Dis eg plaas met donkies en springbokke en al. Ons het ente gestap in die rivier, dis pragtig en het ook 'n koedoe teen die rant sien uithardloop. Die natuurskoon is so spesiaal met al die rante Karooplantegroei en die pragtigste klippe en rotse, 'n "extreme mountain biking"- en stap-paradys. As jy jouself wil vind in die geharwar van die lewe in die stad is dit die plek om heen te gaan en dis glad nie te ver nie!

Peaceful, beautiful, soulful.

We were so surprised with the Mud House, very tastefully decorated and everything you need. There is no mobile phone reception (there is a place you can find if you drive up the mountain) and this makes you really rest and find yourself again. It's a real farm with donkeys and springboks and all. We walked some distance in the river, it's beautiful and also saw a kudu running up the ridge. The scenery is so special with all the ridges of Karoo vegetation and the most beautiful stones and rocks, an "extreme mountain biking" and walking paradise. If you want to find yourself in the hustle and bustle of city life this is the place to go and it's not too far at all!

Absolute tranquility.

The modderhuis is an absolute gem, it combines stylish with Karoo simplicity. The farm is wonderfully quiet and the hike along the buffelsrivier is spectacular. Wonderful host as well.

Karoozen. Klipwerf kuiers.

Elke oomblik van die kuier het ons verras. Sammy het ons buite die dorp opgetel en na die plaas geneem. Die rit opsigself ‘n avontuur. Die kaggel het gebrand toe ons opdaag. Die kliphuis was stylvol en keurig ingerig. Ella se plaasbrood het vir ons gewag. Franci se ete aan huis was ‘n feesmaal. Ons het bedags sorgvry gestap en saans onder die sterrehemel gekuier. Hierdie aardse karoo ervaring word hoogs aanbeveel – veral as jy weer in kontak met jouself en die natuur wil kom.

Caroozen. Stone yard visits.

Every moment of the visit surprised us. Sammy picked us up outside town and took us to the farm. The ride itself is an adventure. The fireplace was burning when we arrived. The stone house was stylishly and neatly furnished. Ella's farm bread was waiting for us. Franci's dinner at home was a feast. We walked carefree during the day and hung out under the starry sky at night. This earthly karoo experience is highly recommended - especially if you want to get back in touch with yourself and nature.

The beautiful sounds of silence.

Thank you to Jean, Koos and Franci for a wonderful stay. It was so special to hear the sounds of silence, to experience a night under the starry sky and to get back to the simple life - a life filled with peace, tranquillity and a closeness to nature.

Rus vir jou siel en 'n holte vir jou voet.

Wat 'n wonderlike ondervinding was dit om in die pragtig gestileerde modderhuisie in die Moordenaarskaroo te oornag. Daar is persoonlike aandag aan die fynste besonderhede gegee, onder andere die voorsiening stapstokke, braaibenodighede en heerlike beskuit ens. Die natuur is asemrowend mooi. Franci was baie behulpsaam en gasvry.

Rest for your soul and a hollow for your foot.

What a wonderful experience it was to spend the night in the beautifully styled mud house in the Moordenaarskaroo. Personal attention was given to the finest details, including the provision of walking sticks, barbecue supplies and delicious biscuits etc. The nature is breathtakingly beautiful. Franci was very helpful and hospitable.

Minimalistic, quiet, peaceful, bespoke.

Everything you need is there and more. The perfect hideaway to relax, read, hike and swim.
