Rustige Karoo wegbreek.

Wat 'n goed toegeruste huisie in die Karoo veld! Ons was baie aangenaam verras met die kwaliteit en gemak van die verblyf. Die stilte en ooptes was 'n wonderlike ervaring. Ook ons twee Weimaraners het die groot omheinde erf vreeslik geniet en hulself elke dag moeg gespeel! Die puppy het vir die eerste keer skape gesien toe hulle die oggend langs die heining kom wei, sy het my met groot bekommernis kom wakker maak om die eienaardige goed te kom kyk. Die braai pakkies die eerste aand was uit die boonste rakke en hoogs aanbeveel!

Peaceful Karoo getaway.

What a well equipped cottage in the Karoo veld! We were very pleasantly surprised with the quality and comfort of the accommodation. The silence and openness was a wonderful experience. Our two Weimaraners also enjoyed the large fenced yard very much and tired themselves out every day! The puppy saw sheep for the first time when they came to graze next to the fence in the morning, she woke me up with great concern to come and see the strange things. The braai packets on the first night were top notch and highly recommended!

Asemrowend mooi. Hartlike gasvryheid.

Ons het geen verwysing gekry en toevallig bespreek op pad terug van die Kaap na Johannesburg met ons honde. Was aangenaam verras deur die plaas se pragtige natuur die vriendelike mense, ens. Die plonspoel was heerlik.

Skakel af in die Karoo

Ons bly elke jaar by Freek's Cottage Farm en elke jaar is dit lafenis vir die siel. Alles is daar wat jy nodig het en mens kry jou battery herlaai en begin klaar afskakel as ek die grondpaadjie trek.

Hierdie plekkie op die plaas, weg van die dorp en stad se geraas en gejaag, is kos vir die siel. Alles wat jy nodig het is daar. Ek wens ons kon langer bly. Sou graag bietjie in die omgewing in die veld wou gaan stap het, maar ons moes ongelukkig vroegoggend weer ry. Ons sal weer soontoe gaan.

Onvergeetlike Karoo-ervaring, veilig en privaat.

Die gasvryheid van die eienaars is onvergeetlik. Die cottage was heerlik privaat met asemrowende uitsig op dam en berge rondom. Vir warm dae is daar 'n swembadjie om in te sit met 'n heerlike boom. Aande voor die buitevuur en luister na plaasgeluide. Binnekaggel indien dit reën. Aan alles is gedink in die cottage. As jy iets by huis vergeet het, is dit daar. Dorp is naby genoeg om gou iets te koop, maar ver genoeg vir 'n plaasatmosfeer. Pragtige perde en natuur met natuurgeluide. Ons het lekker gebly.

Unforgettable Karoo experience, safe and private.

The hospitality of the owners is unforgettable. The cottage was delightfully private with a breathtaking view of the pond and surrounding mountains. For hot days there is a swimming pool to sit in with a lovely tree. Evenings in front of the outdoor fire and listening to farm sounds. Indoor fireplace if it rains. Everything has been thought of in the cottage. If you forgot something at home, it's there. Town is close enough to buy something quickly, but far enough for a farm atmosphere. Beautiful horses and nature with nature sounds. We had a nice stay.

Rustige plaasatmosfeer waar my poedelhondjie ook veilig was.

Ons het oornag en alles was skoon en netjies. Die aand het twee vlermuise ingevlieg maar toe ons die sitkamerlig laat brand het deurnag het hulle besluit dit is beter om maar liewers buite te vlieg. Ons woon self op 'n plaas en dit is deel van die plaaslewe. Selfoonopvangs kon ons by die dam/swembad kry om ons mense tuis te laat weet dat ons veilig by die oornagslaapplek aangekom het. By die hoofopstal van die eienaars sou ons die nodige hulp kon kry indien ons nie reggekom het nie. Weereens is ons gewoond aan swak selfoonopvangs, maar eienaars kan dalk net vir gaste vooraf inlig dat selfoonopvangs beperk is. Stadsjapies ken dit nie. Ons sal enige tyd weer daar oornag as ons besig is met 'n roadtrip. Die sonsopkoms die oggend was iets om te aanskou.

Peaceful farm atmosphere where my poodle puppy was also safe.

We stayed overnight and everything was clean and tidy. In the evening two bats flew in but when we left the living room light on all night they decided it was better to fly outside. We live on a farm ourselves and this is part of farm life. We were able to get cell phone reception at the pond/swimming pool to let our people back home know that we had arrived safely at the overnight accommodation. At the main homestead of the owners we would be able to get the necessary help if we didn't manage. Again, we are used to poor cell phone reception, but owners may just inform guests in advance that cell phone reception is limited. City lads don't know that. We would stay there again anytime if we were doing a road trip. The sunrise in the morning was something to behold.

Stukkie Karoo rustigheid.

Ons was nog op pad na ons eindbestemming, maar na 'n nag hier was die battery sommer herlaai. Kothuis is heerlik ingerig. Het met 3 honde gereis, die plek was netjies omhein. Die swembadjie was 'n welkome verrassing. Sal vir seker weer hier oornag en dit aanbeveel.

What a little gem of a place!

We could not have been happier with our stay at Freek's Cottage. We read so many reviews saying it was basic, but honestly, everything you could possibly need and more is provided. A beautiful, cosy stone cottage with a lovely indoor fireplace as well as a protected outdoor braai. Located next to the dammed up river with the sound of the wind pump and the cry of the fish eagles the only sounds you'll hear. We loved the friendly horses who were there to greet us on arrival! A real farm stay on a working farm. The scenery is gorgeous and if feels you are in the middle of nowhere, yet Murraysburg is only 15 minutes away. We'd absolutely recommend Freek's Cottage. It's perfect for a family or group of friends too!

Dit was uitstekend/veilig en netjies gewees - goeie natuurbelewenis.

Was baie warm en welkom ontvang, beste diens gekry en is soos deel van die family hanteer. Die natuur om ons en die windpomp wat iets besonders met ons eie braaigeriewe en braaipakke het ons werklik geniet, die verrassing met ys en ons braaipakke en slaai met roosterkoeke was elke keer daar en is veilig. Kon self in en uit gaan soos ons wou en was werklik tevrede gewees, baie dankie vir wonderlike diens en dankie dat ons julle plekkie kon deel ons wys almal die foto's en sal vir seker almal aanbeveel wat weer Kaap toe gaan om vir seker julle te gebruik.

We really enjoyed the nature around us and the windmill that something special with our own braai facilities and braai suits, the surprise with ice cream and our braai suits and salad with grilled cakes was there every time and is safe. Could go in and out as we wanted and was really satisfied, thank you very much for wonderful service and thank you for being able to share your place, we will show everyone the photos and will definitely recommend everyone who goes to the Cape again to use you for sure . Will probably also do a Facebook page to be able to show others how well you are doing even more marketing.

'n Lafenis in die Karoo.

Dit is heerlik om te oornag by 'n kothuis wat so volledig toegerus is met selfs ys in die vrieskas op 'n vuurwarm somersdag. Die aandete, bestaande uit braaipakke, aartappelslaai en roosterkoek was heerlik en groot bederf.

'n Absolute oasis in die Karoo.

Ons probeer altyd om op 'n plaas oor te slaap wanneer ons met vakansie gaan. Hierdie was ons eerste besoek aan Freek's Cottage maar beslis die eerste van baie. Dit is absoluut die moeite werd om af te draai en daar te gaan slaap. Die huis self is ontsettend goed ingerig, ruim en silwerskoon. Die vleis en bykosse wat jy vooraf kan bestel is puik. Ons is nou nog spyt ons het nie meer bestel nie. Daar is volledige DSTV maar my tienerkind het eerder op die plaas rondgeloop - dit spreek boekdele.

Absolute oasis in the Karoo.

We always try and stay on a farm when going on holiday. This was our very first visit to Freek's Cottage but it will definitely be one of many. It is absolutely worth taking the turn-off and going to stay there. The house itself is very well equipped, spacious and spotless. The meat and side dishes you can order beforehand is excellent. We are still regretting not ordering more. There is full DStv but my teenage child rather walked around on the farm - that speaks for itself.

Bederf jouself in die Karoo!

Indien jy op soek is na 'n wegbreek van die besige stadslewe, fantastiese waarde vir geld, en 'n pragtige stil omgewing gaan maak gerus 'n draai by Freek se Kothuis! Ons was moeg na 'n lang dag se ry (ons het oornag tussen Pretoria en Hermanus) maar die plaas het ons so verbaas dat ons eers 'n ent moes gaan stap om te verken. Die huisie self is netjies, skoon, en ten volle uitgerus en die vriendelike plaasmense het ons op aanvraag van tjops, wors, heerlike aartappelslaai, en roosterkoek met konfyt en kaas voorsien teen ongelooflike pryse. Naby is daar 'n dam en berge wat maak vir 'n pragtige sonsondergang. Freek se Kothuis is nie 5-ster-verblyf nie, dis 5-miljoen-ster-verblyf, want die Karoonag sal jou asem wegslaan met sy helder naghemel en melkweg. Beveel dit aan vir mense wat hou van die natuur.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Treat yourself in the Karoo!

If you are looking for a break from the busy city life, fantastic value for money, and a beautiful quiet environment, feel free to visit Freek's Kothuis! We were tired after a long day's driving (we spent the night between Pretoria and Hermanus) but the farm surprised us so much that we first had to go for a walk to explore. The cottage itself is neat, clean, and fully equipped and the friendly farm people provided us with chops, sausage, delicious potato salad, and grilled cake with jam and cheese at incredible prices. Nearby there is a pond and mountains that make for a beautiful sunset. Freek's Kothuis is not 5-star accommodation, it's 5-million-star accommodation, because the Karoon Night will take your breath away with its clear night sky and milky way. Recommend for people who love nature.

5-ster behandel ontvang teen 'n prys wat jy nêrens anders ooit sal kry nie.

Die beste prys ooit wat jy kan betaal vir die absoluut wonderlikste huisie om in te bly. Die plaas is pragtig en veilig en die eienaars doen werklik ekstra moeite met hul gaste. Daar is kaggel in huis en mooiste vuurmaakplekke buite. Badkamers is pragtig. Kombuis pragtig. Alle kos wat voorberei word vir die piekniek mandjie is van uitstaande gehalte en baie baie goedkoop. Ons sommer huistoe met wegneem een ook want dit was net te lekker. Sal baie verlang na hierdie plaas. Vat maar jou eie ekstra kombers in winter as jy koulik is.

Stilte en vrede. Pragomgewing. Net wat ons nodig gehad het na die N1 malheid.

Ons is na 'n heel aanvaarbare grondpadrit vriendelik en in Afrikaans ontvang deur die eienaars. Die kothuis is ver genoeg van die plaasopstal om die ervaring van afgeleë te skep maar in der waarheid is dit net om die draai. Die kothuis is genoegsaam gemeubileer en baie skoon. Die kuier/braai area is wonderlik met 'n lieflike uitsig. Die vuurhout is voorsien sonder ekstra koste. Ons kan met groot vrymoedigheid Freek's Kothuis aanbeveel.

After a very acceptable dirt road trip, we were received friendly and in Afrikaans by the owners. The cottage is far enough from the farmstead to create the experience of remoteness but in truth it is just around the corner. The cottage is sufficiently furnished and very clean. The visit/braai area is wonderful with a lovely view. The firewood was provided at no extra cost. We can confidently recommend Freek's Kothuis.

Wat 'n lekker Karoo-belewenis.

Dit was vir ons 'n baie lekker verrassing met die Windpomp so by die huisie en die perde in die agtergrond. Die lieflike vuurmaakplekkie was ideaal. Die gasvryheid was wonderlik. Veral die lekker vars gebakte brood. Sal definitief weer hier kom oorslaap.

What a nice Karoo experience.

It was a very nice surprise for us with the Windpump so close to the house and the horses in the background. The lovely fire place was ideal. The hospitality was wonderful. Especially the delicious freshly baked bread. Will definitely stay here again.

Dit was die moeite werd om te gaan oorslaap.

Ons het dit vreeslik geniet en sal dit beslis aanbeveel.

Mooi natuur en baie rustig.

Ons het die braaiplek met vuurmaakhout geniet, en die plekkie was netjies. Die twee akkedisse wat binne in die kothuis bly het ongemaklikheid veroorsaak met die vrou en kinders. Andersins was dit die moeite werd om van die N1 af te draai en die kort grondpad te ry na die plaas toe.

Beautiful nature and very peaceful.

We enjoyed the braai place with firewood, and the place was tidy. The two lizards that live inside the cottage caused discomfort with the wife and children. Otherwise it was worth turning off the N1 and driving the short dirt road to the farm.

Ruimte binne en buite met vryheid vir liggaam en siel, veral vir die natuurliefhebber.

Terugvoer mag verskil afhangend van elkeen se verwagtinge en verwysingsraamwerk. Wat ons egter betref: Een nag was te min om werklik dit wat Freek's Cottage en die omgewing bied te ontgin, maar met wat ons ervaar het, is dit 'n moet op van ons volgende reisplanne. Wat 'n lekker braai-area het julle nie! Veral die kinders was gaande daaroor en sou heelnag by die vuur kuier as dit kon. En wie weet, dalk kom ons volgende keer in die winter om die kaggel te kom beproef. Die plek het atmosfeer en eenvoud met styl wat 'n mens toelaat om te ontspan. Baie dankie vir jul vriendelikheid en bedagsaamheid.

Space inside and outside with freedom for body and soul, especially for the nature lover.

Feedback may vary depending on everyone's expectations and frame of reference. However, as far as we are concerned: One night was too little to really exploit what Freek's Cottage and the surrounding area has to offer, but with what we experienced, it is a must on our next travel plans. What a nice braai area you have! The children especially loved it and would hang out by the fire all night if they could. And who knows, maybe we'll come next winter to try out the fireplace. The place has atmosphere and simplicity with style that allows one to relax. Thank you very much for your kindness and consideration.

Oomblik om te onthou.

Hartlike verwelkom met n warm brood, slaai en karoo-lam om te braai. Die huisie is goed toegerus en ruim met alles wat nodig is. Om in die stilte van die Karoo te kon vuurmaak en braai was hemels. Teen die prys vir akkommodasie en aandete is dit baie goeie waarde vir geld om in die bekoorlike en rustieke huisie te oornag.

Moment to remember.

Warm welcome with warm bread, salad and karoo lamb to grill. The cottage is well equipped and spacious with everything you need. Being able to make a fire and barbecue in the silence of the Karoo was heavenly. At the price for accommodation and dinner, it is very good value for money to spend the night in the charming and rustic cottage.

Wonderful hospitality, off the beaten track and a great stay over.

Caring hosts, quaint accommodation with everything that is needed for a few days stay. Would definitely return even though off the beaten track and worth a one night stay.

Baie lekker as oorslaap-bestemming.

Freek se Kothuis is gerieflik en het 'n baie rustige, landelike atmosfeer. Dankie vir die brood wat ons gekry het omdat daar nie meer brood op die dorp beskikbaar was toe ons aangekom het.

Very nice as an overnight destination.

Freek's Kothuis is comfortable and has a very peaceful, rural atmosphere. Thank you for the bread we got because there was no more bread available in the town when we arrived.

Old style farm life sweetened by the basic creature comforts of modern day living.

Our stay was wonderful. Our old fashioned, quaint and very practical accommodation suited us perfectly. Our privacy was ensured and respected and we had a warm and inviting interaction with our hosts throughout our stay. The farmâ??s vast splendor that includes significant copies, Karoo valleys and a river caters for game and domestic interests, hiking and lots of relaxation. I recommend this accommodation to city folk and the duration of the stay should be between 3-5 days.
