A gem of a farmhouse, just a stone's throw from Loxton.
We and our dog, Walter, felt really welcome at Biesiespoort. The beautiful old farmhouse was cool and inviting, tastefully furnished and had everything we could wish for - even an ice machine! There was good coffee and home-baked rusks in the kitchen, lovely soft towels in the bathroom and a strong stream of water through the shower head. Hanneke is a friendly and caring hostess who even contacted us the next day after we left to make sure we were okay. Our car had a few hiccups the day before, and she was concerned. Walter was able to run around in the fenced front garden and play with Harry, the resident farm dog. We were able to explore the rest of the beautiful Karoo farm with Walter on a leash. We would definitely stay at Biesiespoort again, and would highly recommend it.

Blissful, luxurious and simply delicious!
If I could, I would give Biesiespoort 10 stars! We were warmly received and the host immediately made a plan when we realized (too late) that we were not going to be able to buy anything to eat in Loxton. There was so much attention to detail. Top quality linen, cutlery, decor, scented candles, etc. Even fresh flowers in the house. The house exceeded all expectations and the tranquility on the farm was truly just what we needed to get rid of all stress. Wish we could stay there even longer.

Soul invigorating. Spoil.
This accommodation was for us the very best we have ever had. Why? The size of the house, the facilities, the love with which everything was done, the deep thoughtfulness with which everything was done from the reception to the decor and the facilities (eg the strong flashlights next to the fireplace in the lobby!) we completely overwhelmed and dumbfounded. Couldn't believe the space and cleanliness and tastefulness. The silence was a rest for the soul and a respite after a tiring holiday. We were only two people and did not use the upstairs rooms. We would have liked to stay another night, but unfortunately there were guests booked for the next night. We will stay here again - anytime if we can.

Biesiespoort has the most beautiful grace and warm love of the Karoo.
Biesiespoort received us warmly with hospitality. The accommodation offers home away from home - everything you need and more! We feasted on the most delicious homemade mutton sausage, chops and pot bread. We had the privilege of being in time for the lambing season which greatly amused the children. The night ended with breathtaking stars. Such a beautiful place. We will definitely make this our regular stop between JHB and the Cape.

Loxton hospitality at its finest. Biesiespoort is breathtakingly beautiful and peaceful.
Biesiespoort is a beautiful nostalgic drop-off location that has recently been newly renovated, with an enlarged enclosed patio and braai facilities for the boss braaier. The decor and overall ease of use is fantastic and all conveniences and extras are available. The beautiful Karo village of Loxton is a stone's throw away. Hanneke is an excellent hostess who is always available to help or give advice about the town and surroundings. Do not pass this beautiful place.

"All in one" accommodation with plenty of room for movement after a long day on the road.
We only stayed one night, but everything in the house was adequate and in good working order. Lannice made us feel welcome from the early morning before our arrival via WhatsApp and also received us very kindly when we arrived. Can recommend it anytime for a family with kids. Can make one suggestion - convert living room into a 3rd bedroom for that person who is unable to climb stairs.

Very old and dirty.
Biesiespoort Guesthouse 's response
Hi Alice, I am so sorry to hear that you are so disappointed. I personally checked everything before you came and made sure that everything is clean and neat. The only thing out of my control, is the porch which we clean several times a day before guests check in. As it is on a farm with a lot of trees, we do struggle with the leaves that fall down. Again, I am very sorry.
I honestly thought from your comments when you were here that you were very happy. I would have attended to any matter that bothered you if I had known.

The stairs for children and the elderly are dangerous in the house.
Porches by front door were very dirty and full of felt manure and leaves. We had to scramble around to get our hands on a braai drum/convenience, because it was loadshedding. No litter in rooms. Asked for double bed in other room with reservation, which was never done. Was very disappointing. No salad bowls. Rooms and bathroom were clean and beds were in good condition and neatly covered.

Hi there,
I am very sorry that you had such a terrible time at Biesiespoort.
Like I had explained that day, the guesthouse is part of the original farm building and yes, it is quite a few years old. It was never used as a shearing shed, but as an house, and office and for many years as an guesthouse where my mother in law have had very happy guests for years.
As I explained about the water, with load-shedding on such a high schedule at that time the water pumps cannot keep up with keeping the reservoirs full. As in the description, this is a fully operating farm so there are many places, people and animals in need of water. I really always try my utmost best to make sure that the guesthouse is first priority when it comes to having water. This is the first time this year that this has happened. Must just unfortunately have been Murphy’s law, I really do apologise and if I had know 20:30 I would have attend to the matter as soon as loadshedding was over at 22:00
Also, in the description it is clearly stated about the stairs and bedrooms being on the second floor.
I also personally handed you the matches needed for the candles. There are 5 candles available to be exact. Both down- and upstairs.
LED lights has also been placed in the guesthouse since.
Again, I apologise for the bad luck you had at Biesiespoort.
I can guarantee this is not the standard, as I have hosted many guests that were very happy with the accommodation provided.
Stay safe
