Lieflike tuinwoonstel op 'n mooi plaas, heerlik gebraai ook.

Ons het fantasties lekker gebly. Dit is 'n baie mooi en netjiese woonstel en dit was lekker om uit die gewoel van die dorpe en stede te kom soos ons afgery het vir vakansie by die see. Alhoewel ons vroegoggend weer in die pad geval het en dus nie laat wou uitteken nie, sal dit dalk wel lekker wees om later as 09:15 uit te teken sou ons eers bietjie wou gaan stap en ontbyt maak op die plaas.

Lovely garden apartment on a beautiful farm, delicious barbecue too.

We had a fantastic stay. It is a very nice and tidy apartment and it was nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of the towns and cities as we drove down for a holiday by the sea. Although we hit the road again early in the morning and therefore didn't want to check out late, it might be nice to check out later than 09:15 if we first wanted to go for a walk and have breakfast on the farm.

Rustigheid tussen die berge.

Na 'n lang ry was hierdie gasteplaas die spreukwoordelike oase in die woestyn. Netjies, skoon en warm. Liesl het ons vriendelik verwelkom en ons het gevoel asof ons haar al jare ken. Die geriewe was meer as voldoende, die stortwater warm en die WiFi was puik. Mens wil eintlik nog 'n paar dae bly want die omgewing slaan mens se asem weg.

Tranquility among the mountains.

After a long line, this guest farm was the proverbial oasis in the desert. Neat, clean and warm. Liesl welcomed us kindly and we felt as if we had known her for years. The facilities were more than adequate, the shower water hot and the WiFi was great. You actually want to stay a few more days because the surroundings take your breath away.

Heerlike oornagplek op skaapplaas.

Ons het heerlik gekuier op die plaas. Dit was doodstil en rustig en die eienaars is baie vriendelik. Die eenheid is pragtig en goed toegerus met 'n ruim badkamer. Klein gasstofie vir beurtkrag. Die plaas is 'n entjie vanaf die hoofpad geleë, maar die paar ekstra kilometers is die moeite werd.

Lovely place to spend the night on a sheep farm.

We had a great time on the farm. It was dead quiet and peaceful and the owners are very friendly. The unit is beautiful and well equipped with a spacious bathroom. Small throttle for load shedding. The farm is located a little way from the main road, but the few extra kilometers are worth it.

Luukse, rustige huisvesting, omring deur pragtige berge.

Smaakvol toegerus met alles wat mens nodig het. Vir ons oorslaap gedurende 'n lang rys, was dit rustig, beeldskoon tussen die berge en interessant om 'n suksevolle skaapboerdery van nader te beskou. Dis ons tweede besoek en ons sal weer so maak!

This was the perfect overnight stop on our way from the Western Cape across to the Wild Coast. It was a cold winter night and we were super cosy in the garden cottage enjoying a wonderful restful night before hitting the road again the next day.

Heerlike oornag plekkie.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Dit was vir ons net 'n oornag stop maar was so lekker stil op die plaas. Alles was skoon en netjies en die bad was 'n wenner met 'n klein baba. Dit gee mens 'n voorsprong om daar te bly want dis 'n gele paar kilos uit Graaff-Reinet uit so dit het gehelp. Ons sal weer daar draai.

Great place to stay overnight.

We had a very nice stay. It was just an overnight stop for us but it was so nice and quiet on the farm. Everything was clean and tidy and the bath was a winner with a small baby. It gives you an edge to stay there because it's a few kilos out of Graaff-Reinet so that helped. We will turn there again.

Pragtige plaas maar net te ver uit Graaf-Reinet.

Dis is 'n absolute pragtige plek maar ons het nie besef dit is geleë so ongeveer 50 km voor Graaff-Reinet nie, so het daar aangekom met geen kos om te maak en eet nie, want ons het gedink ons sal net "gou-gou" dorp toe gaan om goedjies te koop. Dit was toe 'n groot swaai, 40 min. se ry GR toe en 40 minute terug. Daar is 'n stukkie grondpad wat baie lank gevoel het, veral met kinders en 'n klein babatjie. Die eenheid self was pragtig, maar omdat die eienaars nie daar was nie het ons nie geweet waar om te gaan en moes mense soek om ons te help. Die werkers het vir ons braaihout gebring, maar daar was geen Blitz om die vuur aan te steek nie. Dit was ook baie koud - waarvoor ons nie voorbereid was nie!

Beautiful farm but just too far from Graaf-Reinet.

It's an absolutely beautiful place but we didn't realize it was located about 50 km before Graaff-Reinet so arrived there with no food to cook and eat because we thought we'd just "soon-soon" " going to town to buy things. It was then a big swing, 40 min. drive to GR and 40 minutes back. There is a stretch of dirt road that felt very long, especially with children and a small baby. The unit itself was beautiful, but because the owners weren't there we didn't know where to go and had to find people to help us. The workers brought us firewood, but there was no Blitz to light the fire. It was also very cold - which we were not prepared for!

Die stilte van die Karoo.

Besonderse mooi, outydse huis met interessante geskiedenis. Kan nie dink dat niemand daar gebly het vir 80 jaar voor dit gerestoureer is nie. Die kombinasie van moderne badkamers met die antieke boustyl werk baie goed. Huis is uitstekend toegerus met alles, insluitend 'n wasmasjien en skottelgoedwasmasjien. Ons het 'n baie lekker tyd gehad en ek sal maklik vir meer as een aand hier kan bly.

Particularly beautiful, old-fashioned house with interesting history. Can't imagine that no one lived there for 80 years before it was restored. The combination of modern bathrooms with the ancient architectural style works very well. House is excellently equipped with everything, including a washing machine and dishwasher. We had a very nice time and I could easily stay here for more than one night.

Oud en modern ontmoet in die Karoo.

Hierdie gerestoureerde Karoo-plaashuis met sy geelhout-vloere en -plafonne is vyfster-verblyf. Die huis is netjies, báie netjies en skoon. Die dekor is keurig en smaakvol met kraakwitlinne. 'n Elektriese kombers en warmwatersakke vir die koue aande is 'n lekker bederf. Die huis het alles wat jy nodig het. Jy sal nie 'n fout maak om hier te bespreek nie.
