Silence is needed now and then and that's what we got.
Farm atmosphere is delicious. Sitting on the porch, reading books, walking, animal watching, swimming, cycling, amazing!

Stylish and relaxed atmosphere in beautiful surroundings.
The Karoo silence is truly palpable on this guest farm. The cottage is wonderfully spacious, furnished with character and makes you feel right at home. The hospitable reception by Stephanie and the explanation of everything was really excellent. The fire in the evenings and the splash pool are a bonus.

Unwelcome in the Karoo.
Upon arrival, the owners were kind enough to let us drop off our luggage in the house a little earlier, for which I was extremely grateful. And when I got out with my dog I was asked who gave permission for my German Shepherd because German Shepherds are problems. This immediately made me feel unwelcome because I always make sure my dog is welcome before I make any reservations, never advertise that a place is "pet friendly" when it actually isn't. Because the only dogs that were pinched were their 2 dogs. The one kept saying that I didn't say anywhere that I was bringing a German Shepherd, otherwise he would have said no. And he also said one of us will walk with red faces and tail between our legs if the truth comes out. Which immediately after he was gone my wife and I started looking and searching for the arrangements and permission answer which was answered by themselves. It was then screenshotted and sent to the owners, he then came to say sorry and I left it on. I also feel too much is expected to chat on the WhatsApp app, I blocked them on my phone 2 days later because I feel it's too much now. They want to ask about everything that was forgotten in the house and why certain habits are done for you because they don't understand it. If there is no damage to your place, clean up or move on. No client wants to hear from you two days later. I think it's a great place, a real diamond in the Karoo. However, I think one of the owners should learn to work with customers. And how to make people feel welcome.

Birds and bird baths offer a lot of fun.
The stay here was wonderful. We just sat on the porch all day and watched the birds frolic and play in the bird bath. Even though the stove works with gas, there is power and hot water. The one couch has just been nicely put through. Take a bike and binoculars and enjoy the silence. The two large dogs are very well behaved and friendly and very much in their place.

Dear Corne, many thanks for your kind words and helpful advice. We're so glad that you enjoyed your time with us, and that we were able to distract you from the challenges of 2020. I will definitely investigate the sleeper couch you speak of, which sounds as though it too, has succumbed to the 2020 malaise. We do hope to see you again in the near future.

Ruimte, vars lug en die geraas van die natuur.

Space, fresh air and the noise of nature.
We had a lovely stay in the spacious carriage house with a south-facing veranda (for shade on hot summer afternoons) and enjoying nature. Most self-catering units have one room with kitchen, dining area and bed so it was nice to have a separate bedroom for once. Two things we rarely find at self-catering facilities are a decent sharp knife and coarse salt and pepper - the carriage house had both.

Hi Antoinette
Baie dankie vir jou terugvoer. Ons waardeer dit. So bly dat julle die tyd in d'Waenhuis geniet het. Ons het nou 'n klein swembad teenaan julle stoep gebou. Die Zara huisie het nou ook sy eie swembad. Ons het nou ook Wi-Fi in die huisies.
Ons probeer om altyd te verbeter, sodat ons gaste die beste wegbreek moontlik kan geniet.
Groete

The hospitality was as warm as the Karoo days!
A working fan in every room is essential - it's very hot there and the "bugs" at night are very annoying!
