Die perfekte bestemming vir iemand wat rustigheid en stilte soek weg van die alledaagse gejaag.

Om Daberas Guest Farm rerig te waardeer moet jy verkieslik meer as 3dae oor bly. Bereid wees om jou toetaal af te sluit van social media en publieke vermaak. Dit is werklik 'n plek waar mens net kan 'wees' en onvoorwaardelik geniet sonder om skuldig te voel. Hannecke, Kobus en Angelo is uiters gasvry en het ons verwagtinge oortref. Baie dankie vir die besonderse aangename verblyf. Groete

The perfect destination for someone looking for peace and quiet away from the everyday hustle and bustle.

To really appreciate Daberas Guest Farm you should preferably stay more than 3 days. Be prepared to turn off social media and public entertainment. It is truly a place where one can just 'be' and enjoy unconditionally without feeling guilty. Hannecke, Kobus and Angelo are extremely hospitable and exceeded our expectations. Thank you very much for the exceptionally pleasant stay. regards

Down to earth and nostalgic.

We stayed at Daberas over the New Year's weekend. We were welcomed by Annecke upon arrival, who gave us the tour of the cottage and do's and don'ts. What an absolute pleasure to stay there! The cottage was clean, it had everything you needed. The pool was cooling on a hot day. It was beautiful watching the moon and the stars at night, it took me back to my childhood days growing up in Rust de Winter. And not forgetting the silence and peace night and day. The tour of the farm in the afternoon was really breathtaking, the landscape was something else. Two nights were not enough, we will be back. We thoroughly enjoyed our time spend at Daberas.

'n Onvergeetlike bestemming om 2021 in te gaan.

Ons, ons 8 jarige seun en vriende het Daberas besoek vir 'n ongelooflike 2 aande. Die rustigheid en stilte oorval jou. Ons het die 4x4 pad op Daberas gery en by die mees ongelooflikste uitsig gekom. Die huis is pragtig, skoon en het alles wat jy nodig het. Aan Hannecke, Kobus en kleinseun: Baie dankie vir 'n ongelooflike 2 dae, dit wat julle daar op Daberas geskep het en julle gasvryheid. My seun praat nou nog van die perde en Loula, die skaap. Baie dankie, ons sien julle weer.

The house is beautiful, clean and has everything you need. To Hannecke, Kobus and grandson: Thank you very much for an incredible 2 days, what you created there on Daberas and your hospitality. My son still talks about the horses and Loula, the sheep. Thank you very much, we will see you again.

We would like to thank Cobus and Hannecke for a wonderful Stay at Daberas Guest Farm. We were well received and everything was to our satisfaction. They really went out of their way. Very special thank you for allowing us to be ”family” for Christmas Day. It was a lovely gesture and a Christmas lunch to remember for a long time. Hannecke the duck was absolutely fantastic.

'n Wegbreek om weg te kom van die lawaai van die stad.

Ons het onmiddellik welkom gevoel, dis baie rustig! Alhoewel ek nie tyd gekry het om 'n salt bath te vat nie dink ek net om die geriewe te hê is fantasties. Ek beveel aan dat meer as twee aande nodig is om heeltemal af te skakel en om die omgewing te bewonder.

Amazing location, accommodation and fantastic hosts.

We had a one night stop over on our way from the Kgalagadi to Cape Town. Daberas was a fantastic experience from the minute we arrived until the moment we left with a drive and sunset to their stunning viewpoint that as a family we will remember for life. We pre-arranged for dinner and had a mouth watering meal prepared for us by the host Hannecke. We plan to go back in the future and will definitely stay for more than one night.

Die huis en swembad was ongelooflik skoon en netjies. Die verkoelingstelsel van die huis was heerlik om in te slaap. Ons was mal oor die mooi moderne badkamer. Die eienaars was vriendelik en gasvry.

Eenvoudig eksklusief.

Daar is 'n gemaklikheid omtrent Daberas wat jou aangenaam verras. Die stille natuurskoon word geëwenaar deur die gasvrou Hannecke en heer Kobus se entoesiasme en liefde vir hulle stukkie paradys. Die eenhede is opvallend netjies en is doeltreffend ingerig. Geen moeite word gespaar en selfs die messe is vlymskerp. Verder is die hele plaas sensitief selfonderhoudend. Voorwaar 'n moet om die uitkyk punt te besoek.

Simply exclusive.

There is an ease about Daberas that pleasantly surprises you. The quiet natural beauty is matched by the hostess Hannecke and Mr. Kobus's enthusiasm and love for their piece of paradise. The units are remarkably neat and efficiently furnished. No effort is spared and even the knives are razor sharp. Furthermore, the entire farm is sensitively self-sustaining. Truly a must to visit the lookout point.

Friendly and helpful host, lovely lodge with lots of space and facilities, unfortunately in the middle of nowhere!

Cape Ebony Lodge 's response

Dear Hein, thank you for your review, however it is impossible to experience what nature offers here if you have arrived very late, as the Lower Orange River Valley warrants spending a bit more time to discover it!

Ongelooflik rustig, ongerep en 'n plek waar jy nog sterre sien.

Gasvrou gaan uit haar pad om dit nog meer aangenaam te maak. Dis natuurlik ongelooflik warm daai tyd van die jaar, maar die eenhede is verkoel met water coolers en 'n swembad. Dis 'n moet vir iemand wat rustigheid soek en weer naby die natuur wil kom, kry sielsrus hier.

Incredibly peaceful, unspoilt and a place where you still see stars.

Hostess goes out of her way to make it even more pleasant. It's obviously incredibly hot that time of year, but the units are cooled with water coolers and a swimming pool. It's a must for someone who is looking for tranquility and wants to get close to nature again, find peace of mind here.

Daberas laat jou naby aan die natuur!

Daberas is baie afgeleë, maar as jy eers daar is voel jy die nabyheid van die natuur! Ons het heerlik in die aand gelê en sterre kyk, kan nie onthou wanneer laas ons die melk weg so duidelik gesien het nie, laat mens nederig!

Ons was vriendelik ontvang. Die huis was goed toegerus en skoon. Die klipformasies is ongelooflik mooi en ons was gelukkig om 'n paar diere ook te sien. Beslis die moeite werd om die paadjies te ry na die uitkykpunte toe. As jy lank hier bly sal jy vergeet watter dag van die week dit is.

Hemel op aarde!

Stilte en vrede. As dit is wat jy begeer, is Daberas die plek vir jou. Dit is bietjie uit die pad, maar soos Diana van Noord-Kaap Toerisme sê: "die Noord-Kaap is uit die pad". Doen jouself 'n guns en gaan op die Eko-toer saam met Kobus. Kobus is die wonderlikse bron van inligting en het 'n wonderwêreld vir ons oopgemaak met sy kennis van geologie en die plante op die plaas. Daar is kilometers en kilometers ruwe natuurskoon om op die stap, natuurlik vir die manne is daar genoeg speelplek vir hulle met hulle 4x4's. Die eenheid waar ons gebly het, is pragtig mooi en goed ingerig, niks gekort nie. Bespreek etes met Hannacke as julle nie self wil kosmaak nie. Ons het heerlik geëet. My enigste probleem was dat ons na 6 dae moes ry! Ons hoop om gou weer op Daberas te kuier!

Heaven on earth!

Silence and peace. If this is what you desire, Daberas is the place for you. It's a bit out of the way, but as Diana from Northern Cape Tourism says: "the Northern Cape is out of the way". Do yourself a favor and go on the Eco Tour with Kobus. Kobus is the wonderful source of information and opened up a world of wonder for us with his knowledge of geology and the plants on the farm. There are kilometers and kilometers of rugged scenery around on the walk, of course for the men there is enough space for them to play with their 4x4s. The unit where we stayed is beautiful and well furnished, nothing lacking. Book meals with Hannacke if you don't want to cook yourself. We ate deliciously. My only problem was that we had to drive after 6 days! We hope to visit Daberas again soon!

Beste ervaring van ons vakansie.

Daberas bied 'n heerlike ontspanning in 'n rustige atmosfeer in 'n besondere geologiese streek van Suid-Afrika. Kobus en Hannecke is uitsonderlik as gasheer en gasvrou en gaan uit hulle pad om 'n mens se verblyf so aangenaam as moontlik te maak. Ons privaatheid is ook gerespekteer en die fasiliteite en woon eenheid was van die beste en ons het aan niks tekort geskiet nie. Die bewaring van natuur en dierelewe en kennis daaroor aan ons meegedeel, maak ook van Daberas van die beste plekke wat ons ooit besoek het.

Daberas offers a wonderful relaxation in a peaceful atmosphere in a special geological region of South Africa. Kobus and Hannecke are exceptional as host and hostess and go out of their way to make one's stay as pleasant as possible. Our privacy was also respected and the facilities and living unit were among the best and we lacked nothing. The preservation of nature and animal life and the knowledge about it imparted to us also make Daberas one of the best places we have ever visited.

A rugged paradise for nature lovers.

Daberas is a very very special place. It is really worth the drive there: The rugged nature and “mars-scape” scenery is unique! The guided sunset drive was just out of this world! The two suites that form the beautiful thatched roof house we had were perfect for our family of four. Everything was impeccably clean and very well equipped. We really enjoyed the open air bathroom, with its walls of rose quartz found on the farm. We loved the silence. The trillions of stars at night. The sunrise and sunsets. And, last but not least: the hosts are such wonderful, friendly people who really did everything to make us feel at home. We really appreciated their hospitality and we are very grateful for them sharing their farm and their knowledge of the region with us. Thank you for this unforgettable experience!

Terug na waar jy vandaan kom, en hoort. By jou Skepper en Verlosser. Woorde kan dit nie beskryf nie, jy moet dit ondervind.

Wat 'n wonderlike ervaring was dit nie gewees nie. Hier besef jy as mens weer hoe nietig ons werklik in die skepping is. Soms bevind jy jou in die middel van nêrens, maar soms in die middel van nêrens vind jy jouself. Kobus en Hanneke is seker die beste gasheer en gasvrou, en geen moeite is vir hierdie mense te veel nie. Ons is met trane in ons oë daar weg en sal vir seker weer daar gaan afsaal.

The best stay we have had in our 2 months stay in South Africa

We booked 4 days in Daberas Guest Farm. It exceeded our expectations. The cottage was large and clean and private. The talkative host, Kobus, is very well learned about the geological and ecological aspects of his farm. We have seen elands, hartebeests, springboks and gemsboks in abundance. The 50 km dirt road to the farm can be made in an ordinary car, but is better suited for a 4x4.

Peace and tranquillity in a beautiful setting.

This is a venue to get away from it all. Our host and hostess made sure that we got the maximum benefit from the delights Daberas has to offer. Remote and stark desert landscape, fantastic views and comfortable accommodation with 220V, but off-grid otherwise ensures a peaceful stay. Ask your well-informed host (an amateur geologist) to tell you about the local geology, botany and environmental issues at Daberas.

Nicola, thank you for your comments. It so nice to hear that you have enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure meeting you and your partner.

Home away from home!

Asemrowende mooi plaas met staproetes gevul met net alles mooi! Ons huis was pragtig met 'n buitestort perfek vir die lekker warm weer! Die "home made" roomys is 'n moet en die cherrie op die koek na 'n wonderlike twee dae in die stukkie hemel op aarde!

Home away from home!

Breathtaking and picturesque farm with various and also the most beautiful hiking trails. Our home was lovely and with an outside shower, perfect for the lovely weather. The home-made ice cream is a must and the cherry on top after a wonderful two days on this piece of heaven on earth.

If you don't like back to the farm days and cannot go without your phone/computer, you wasting your time.

The hosts (Hannecke and Chris) are very interesting people. Chris (owner) knows his geology and takes you on a one of a kind scenery route not many will ever see. Hannecke (owner) is one of a kind. Friendly, makes nice coffee and always there to assist no matter when. The area is something different from Augrabies. Its farm life. Basics. Gas, solar power but no plugs and limited signal (MTN works best at certain spots). But Hannecke does have a plan up her sleeve for that. The farm is close to Augrabies waterfall, Kakamas for a day outing in town and getting a KFC burger. But let's get down to the realistic life on the farm. 1) No need to lock all your belongings in the house when driving around 2) Yes, there are snakes and scorpions. We saw a small adder the first morning after we arrived. Chris removed a puff-adder from our stoep the evening after we left. If you keep the house doors close there is no problem. Always safety so look around and do the "under the bed, duvet and pillows" before you go to sleep. Remember. Cold requires warmth for reptilians. Advisable to bring your EPIPEN and Antihistamine with if you allergic to bees (not that there are any). 3) depending on what vehicle you drive 4x4 is required in certain areas especially the riverine. 4) Don't drive over animals, drive out of a spoor or damage nature (logic). 5) Ask Chris about the old mines. 6) Depending how many travels you about to undertake in the farm I took with 40 litres of fuel just in case. Kakamas is about an hour's drive away and Augrabies 40 minutes (due to dirt roads from farm to main road turn off at Blouputs). You have to see Riemvasmaak natural warm springs and swim in them. Visit Augrabies and try the nice spare ribs... be careful of the Baboons. Otherwise enjoy it. Felt like I was at my aunt's farm when I was young. You surely appreciate what you have and put things in perspective. PS: We had our 8 year old with and she wasn't bored one second.

Ghane we are glad that you did enjoy a classic farm stay and you are welcome to visit again. Please keep in contact regarding our conservation developments. Regards Hannecke

A breathtaking, remote destination where you can get in touch with nature and enjoy warm hospitality.

If you need to get away from it all, Daberas is the place for you. It is an awesome Guest Farm in the Kalahari where you can experience the beauty of nature in, what meets the eye, extreme conditions. Owners Kobus and Hannecke live on the farm and they are excellent hosts, tending to your every need and ensuring maximum comfort. Sundowners at the lookout point was the highlight of our stay and a must see for potential visitors. There is a rather sandy stretch of dirt road leading to the farm and it would be wise to make enquiries with your hosts beforehand. We would love to visit Daberas again, but next time we will definitely stay longer than two days.

It was a pleasure having you here. We are looking forward to taking you to the moon landscape view site again, and sundowners.

Heerlike stilte van die woestyn, veral saans om die braaivleisvuur.

Die eienaar het ons op 'n interessante geologiese toer geneem. Ons gasvrou was baie tegemoetkomend deur vir ons 'n dubbelbed in die woonkamer in te rig sodat vier egpare apart kon slaap. Die ligging kan egter beter aangedui word op die internet advertensie. Dit was moeilik om te bepaal presies waar die gasteplaas is relatief tot die valle. Mindere kritiek is dat die buitedeur van die een slaapkamer gesluit en sonder sleutel was, en dat daar slegs een toilet is.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Quietness of the desert was lovely, especially in the evenings next to the braai.

The owner took us on an interesting geological tour. Our hostess was very helpful to arrange a double bed in the living room so that 4 couples could sleep separately. The location could be advertised better on the internet ad. It was difficult to figure out exactly where the guest farm was relative to the falls. Some minor critique is that the outer door of one of the bedrooms was locked and didn't have a key, and that there's only one toilet.

Om net een aand op Daberas deur te bring is te min.

Hoewel dit nogal afgeleë is, is dit juis hierdie feit wat die ondervinding so merkwaardig maak. Natuurliefhebbers sal dit die moeite werd vind. Die ligging maak dit moontlik om die natuur en unieke landskap te geniet, asook om te rus van die daaglikse gejaag.

Spending just one night on Daberas is too little.

Although it is quite remote, it is precisely this fact that makes the experience so remarkable. Nature lovers will find it worthwhile. The location makes it possible to enjoy nature and unique landscape, as well as to rest from the daily rush.

Het verblyf verkort.

Mits opgradering plaasvind ten opsigte van ten minste dakwaaiers in die kamers (aangesien dit 37°C was) met geen verkoelinggeriewe nie, en geen kragpunte, sal ek nie weer teruggaan nie.

A great "big sky" experience on a stunning farm.

Hannecke and Kobus were great hosts, their knowledge of the area and it's history, together with their passion for this part of the country, makes it a great place to spend time at. The farmhouse was a pleasure to stay in. People who like "big sky" views at night will love it!
