We had a good time at Doringboom accommodation. Very remote and isolated. Very cosy house with awesome landscape around you.

Please bear in mind the 30 km dirt/gravel road to Doringboom from the tar road. Quite a distance from town. Plan accordingly. I would suggest travelling with a bakkie or SUV. Car would work, but not ideal. Will take longer with car. No signal on dirt roads, very important to take the turn when you see the board next to the road that says Welgemoed Gastehuis. You won't see Doringboom from the main road. One could easily pass the turn-off. Drive in when you see Welgemoed Gastehuis.

Vreedsame wegbreek!

Die eenheid is lekker afgesonder. Dis stil, en die omliggende natuur is beeldskoon. Die skape wat naby wei is tog te lekker.

Peaceful getaway!

The unit is nicely secluded. It's quiet, and the surrounding nature is picturesque. The sheep that graze nearby are too tasty.

Gemaklik en ontspannend.

Baie goed ingerigte ruim huisie. Ingebouge kaggel trek baie goed met geen rook binne nie. Genoeg kerse vir beurtkrag en romantiese ete. Heerlike warm bed. Stort werk goed met heerlike warm water en goeie druk. Goed ingerigte kombuis met feitlik als wat jy nodig het. Rustige omgewing. Beslis die moeite werd veral vir die prys.

Comfortable and relaxing.

Very well equipped spacious house. Built-in fireplace smokes very well with no smoke inside. Enough candles for load shedding and romantic dinner. Lovely warm bed. Shower works well with lovely hot water and good pressure. Well equipped kitchen with practically everything you need. Quiet environment. Definitely worth it especially for the price.

Pragtige sterre.

Die verblyf is heeltemal netjies en toepaslik. Gelukkig het ons hout op die dorp gekoop anders was ons die eerste aand in die koue. Grondpad na die blyplek gaan nie vir alle voertuie geskik wees nie.

Beautiful stars.

The accommodation is completely neat and appropriate. Luckily we bought wood in town otherwise we would have been out in the cold the first night. Dirt road to the accommodation will not be suitable for all vehicles.

Rus en Vrede onder die Sterrehemel

Die eienaar het mens baie gerus en veilig laat voel. Sy was baie gasvry en mens het dadelik gevoel asof jy 'n lekker kuier gaan hê. Die plekkie was skoon en ruim. Dit het gevoel asof ek in my eie huis was. Die plaas is pragtig en al wat mens in die verte kan hoor is 'n paar skape wat blêr. Die aande is die hoogtepunt met die sterrehemel wat bo jou pronk in alle mag. Vyfster!

Rest and Peace under the Starry Sky

The owner made you feel very relaxed and safe. She was very hospitable and you immediately felt as if you were going to have a nice visit. The place was clean and spacious. It felt like I was in my own home. The farm is beautiful and all you can hear in the distance is a few sheep bleating. The evenings are the highlight with the starry sky showing off above you in all its might. Five star!

Heerlik, stil en rustig.

Netjiese huise op 'n plaas so 35 km buite Sutherland. Geen selfoonontvangs, maar goeie WiFi. Hier kan jy die natuur en stilte waardeer as jy nodig het om weg te breek uit die stad. Bring jou eie hout saam van die huis af vir die braai.

Lovely, quiet and peaceful.

Neat houses on a farm about 35 km outside Sutherland. No cell phone reception, but good WiFi. Here you can appreciate nature and silence if you need to break away from the city. Bring your own wood from home for the barbecue.

O Stille Nag van Vrede in hierdie Stiltetyd.

Niks opgesmuk of oordrewe nie. Jy kry 'n blyhuis, netjies en volledig. Jy kry ook hope stilte en vrede. Net 'n bobbejaan wat in die verte boggom en 'n troppie boerbokke wat nuuskierig die vreemdelinge by die huisie staan en bespreek. Wonderlik.

O Silent Night of Peace in this Time of Silence.

Nothing embellished or exaggerated. You get a home, neat and complete. You also get loads of silence and peace. Just a baboon munching away in the distance and a herd of boer goats curiously discussing the strangers at the cottage. Wonderful.
