Wonderful experience.
Beautiful in Beaufort-West didn't lie. Steyskraal is like an oasis in the Karoo! If you ever find yourself in the Beaufort-West area and looking for a place to sleep, this is the place for you. From friendly arrival, beautiful accommodation and even a child-friendly farm atmosphere, it cannot be described well. Also remember to place your order for their most delicious chicken satays for your barbecue. In addition, we were spoiled with a delicious freshly baked bread. You exceeded our expectations and we will definitely see you again! Thank you very much Steyskraal for the wonderful stay at the little school!

Steynskraal Gasteplaas welcomed us with freshly baked bread on the kitchen table, together with delicious jam and farm butter - absolute treat. The house is of quality and certainly catches my eye. It was nice to be able to go home there from the city with the sounds of the farm, fresh air and stars enveloping you during the night.

Road food for your soul.
Here you can listen to the chirping of the birds and the call of the turtle doves. See how the mother finch brings food to her babies and screams at the opening of the nest. How the rooster attacks the kitten for venturing into their territory. The soft cry of the angora goats and at shearing time their anxious cry as they look at you sheepishly. The monotonous turning of the windmill in the breeze, little clouds gathering together and you hope and pray together for rain. And at sunrise you welcome the new day with a mug of steaming nut coffee and home-baked biscuits. The little school is everything and more than you desire. Silver clean, neat and very tasteful. A wish-I-could-stay-here-forever cottage.

The little school from 100 years ago has been carefully and characterfully transformed into a lovely place to sleep. Just when you think you've seen all the creativity, you notice something else that amazes you. It was really an experience. From fresh roses in a pot next to the bed, the fireplace in the living room with more than enough firewood to the cozy made up beds. Everything speaks of a love and care for the strangers who make themselves at home there from time to time.

Warmly received by the owners and had a lovely stay in a beautiful and comfortable Karoo pitched roof.
The farm is located a few kilometers off the N1 dirt road. Just far enough to make you feel like you're visiting a Karoo farm. A true Karoo farm experience with stars and silence that is sometimes interrupted by the sounds of farm life and farm animals, which then only accentuates the silence of the surroundings. Recommended for any lovers of farm life, the Karoo and the hospitable people of the Karoo.

Wow, what a privilege to visit Jos and Laetitia at Die Skooltjie! This building of more than 100 is so well equipped and beautifully made. Lovely kitchen, softest bedding and towels that smell nice for days! The new iron stove works like a bomb and makes the cottage warm with its wooden pieces as big as Duplo cubes! Outside braai fireplace so nicely sheltered on the veranda against the cold Karoo wind, with the old pepper tree tightly against the wall of the old building. And what a pleasure it is that the 3 Musketeers come to say hello: Rosie, the cow, Klapper the sheep and Kallie the calf. A must to sleep over, at least 3 nights, heading north. Then drive around for 2 days in the Karoo Park as it is just 21 km away.

Bliss in the Karoo!
If you don't want to feel caged in a guest house with other people, then Die Skooltjie is for you. As soon as you leave the N2 and follow the winding path your farm experience begins. The Skooltjie cottage is about 100 m from the farmstead. Jos and Laetitia receive you warmly. The grass in front of the house is as green as in the picture, you just want to lie flat on your back and take it all in. The interior has a nice rustic feel and the decor is stylish. The back porch is a lovely place to visit that screams braai with the farm dam according to you. As the sun sets, the Karoo envelops you in her charm. The sky is full of the brightest stars and you enjoy the spectacle with the complimentary singing of the bugs. As the sun rises, the typical farm sounds of waking up are very reassuring. I would easily stay quietly at Die Skooltjie for a few days and not just overnight. So, pack your books and pens and paper and go enjoy a school experience like few others.

The perfect overnight stop in the Karoo.
What a wonderful time we had. The children rode horses, played with a hanslammer, fed geese and had an incredible time. Jors was the perfect host. We barbecued under the stars, with the sounds of the Karoo around us. Everything had been perfect. We will definitely stay here again.

Excellent value for money!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were actually sorry that it was only for one night. The historic place is excellently furnished, neat, clean and everything and more you need. We were received very kindly and felt very special with all the extras that were available to us. The silence and beauty of the surroundings really impressed us. We actually can't wait to sleep over there again.

Great!
It was one of the most memorable places I have ever visited. The host and hostess are incredibly friendly and helpful and the salt of the earth people. Location on the farm is perfect. We as a family have only stayed one night here and I will recommend The School any time. I will definitely visit again if I am in the area. Thank you Jos and Laetitea, hope to see you again soon.

Incredibly positive experience.
I recommend that anyone traveling to and from the Cape via Beaufort West should stay overnight at Die Skooltjie. It will enrich you as a person. I can't say more. Go and see for yourself. You will never regret. And I took the most beautiful pictures of my life there. And if you like a mutton chop, please buy a few from the landlady to grill there that evening.

Absolutely fantastic, the silence was deafening, just what we wanted.
It was a wonderful experience to stay there, the skies were something to behold, and the silence was only interrupted by sheep, geese and chickens, which were a feast. We also had the opportunity to swim in a cement dam with the fish and geese. The accommodation is truly fully equipped for self-catering and relaxing. I will definitely stay there again if I drive in that direction and can definitely recommend the places to any person who loves nature and loves it. The reception was excellent and all our needs were taken care of. Hope to visit you again someday. Thank you again, you have absolutely a place in the Karoo. Good luck and all the best.

Fantastic experience!
A wonderful stay on the long road between the North and the Cape! Not just the fantastic facilities, but also a Karooplaas experience and top notch hospitality. The sheltered braai area and firepit call for long walks under the stars. We will definitely go back for a full winter break to better explore the area and especially the fossils. We recommend the Little School without any reservation!

Highly recommended - extremely refined with wonderful hospitality.
Wonderful hospitality and a lot of attention paid to small things to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The delicious Karoo toast is a must and the tranquility of a Karoo farm is just what is needed after a long journey!

Quiet, safe environment with delicious braai facilities.
We really enjoyed the wonderful hospitality of Jos and Laetitea. I can recommend the food pack with lamb chops. Chops have just the right amount of fat. Karoolam stays on top. Keep in mind there is a 4 km dirt road to the accommodation.
