Karoo Serenity.

What a beautiful cottage in the middle of the karoo. Very peaceful and quiet with a lovely mountain view. The perfect place to rest and recharge. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Thank you, Ruth. Was so lovely to have you with us, to realise that you've appreciated the surroundings of the Onder-Karoo, and to have the privilege of sharing your awesome photographs. Regards, Hanlie

Tranquil, peaceful and a place to wind down.

Die Skooltjie is such a fantastic little gem of a place. Loved the wood burning oven and scenery. Thank you Hanlie and Thys for a great little cottage for the two days we spent there. Thank you Thys for the directions to go on the "Ouberg pass" it was absolutely worth it. We will see you again one day when we come down to explore more of the fabulous Tankwa.

Baie dankie, Albertus! Ons sien uit na jul volgende besoek - dan sal die kinders hopelik nog bereid wees om saam te kom na die ongerepte, stil karoo! Die onbeperkte Wi-Fi sal seker entoesiasme aanhelp. Julle is so 'n pragtige gesin!
Groete, Hanlie

Pragtig, as jy wil gaan rus en afskakel.

Alhoewel dit koud, nat en gesneeu het, het ons ons gate uit geniet. Die koolstoof het die heeldag gebrand. Dit was 'n voorreg om die geskiedenis van die Heyns familie en Die Skooltjie te ervaar. Thys en Hanlie se gasvryheid, veral met die tuisgebakte broodjie en Lena wat net hout aandra. Ons het nie eers op die plaas met sy pragige natuurskoon uitgekom nie. Sal beslis moet teruggaan.

Great, if you want to rest and switch off.

Although it was cold, wet and snowy, we enjoyed our holes out. The coal stove burned all day. It was a privilege to experience the history of the Heyns family and The School. Thys and Hanlie's hospitality, especially with the home-baked bun and Lena who only brings wood. We didn't even get to the farm with its beautiful scenery. Will definitely have to go back.

The remoteness is incredible, and yet all the luxuries are there.

We had a wonderful long-weekend stay, even getting engaged under the lone kokerboom on the hilltop. Thys and Hanlie were such warm and welcoming hosts, happy to help with directions and recommendations, and firewood to counter the evening chill. They have a wealth of knowledge about the farm and surrounding areas, and appear happy and eager to share the space and the experience. The location is perfect. Far enough off the beaten track, yet accessible by car and equipped with everything you could ask for.

Rustig, veilig, netjies, heerlik afgesonder.

Hanlie en Thys se plaas is heerlik afgesonder, maar toeganklik vanaf Sutherland se pad. Great fietsryroete na oorspronlike opstalmurasie op plaas, lekker staproete. Ons het heerlik gerus. Hanlie en Thys is gemaklike en vriendelike gashere. Die huisie is gevul met geskiedenis. Alles is daar, tot genoeg komberse vir die winterkoue. Goed toegerus met sonkrag en fantastiese koolstoof vir hitte. Heerlik gekuier!

Quiet, safe, tidy, wonderfully secluded.

Hanlie and Thys' farm is wonderfully secluded, but accessible from Sutherland's road. Great cycling route to the original homestead on the farm, nice walking route. We had a wonderful rest. Hanlie and Thys are comfortable and friendly hosts. The cottage is filled with history. Everything is there, down to enough blankets for the winter cold. Well equipped with solar power and fantastic coal stove for heat. Have a great time!
