Dis maar altyd salig om die Karoo-hemelruim te aanskou!

Ons het 'n veilige oornagplek gesoek vir 'n groep, met kinders van babas tot laerskoolouderdom, en dit was presies wat ons gekry het. 3 huisies langs mekaar op 'n heerlike groot erf waar die kinders dadelik begin speel en hardloop het. Die motors is veilig op die erf agter 'n toe hek met afstandsbeheertoegang. Huisies is goed toegerus en daar was 'n groot bondel hout, komplimentêr. Ons het lekker vuurgemaak, dankie. Ons het dit ook bedagsaam gevind dat daar muskietgoed in al die huisies was.

It's always blissful to see the Karoo sky!

We were looking for a safe place to stay for a group, with children from babies to primary school age, and this was exactly what we found. 3 houses next to each other on a lovely large yard where the children immediately started playing and running. The cars are safely in the yard behind a closed gate with remote control access. Cottages are well equipped and there was a large bundle of wood, complimentary. We had a nice fire, thank you. We also found it considerate that there were mosquito nets in all the cottages.

Friendly and professional.

Our rooms were exactly as requested and though they are not open for dinner they provided dinner for my colleague and myself.

Veilige parkering, met skoon dienlike fasiliteite.

Ons het slegs oornag daar en alles was skoon en netjies. Ontbyt kan moontlike ingesluit word, soos by meeste ander plekke daar.

Secure parking, with clean serviceable facilities.

We only spent the night there and everything was clean and tidy. Breakfast can possibly be included, as with most other places there.

Ons het heerlik tuis gevoel in die ou huis wat my aan my ouma laat dink het.

Die kamers is pragtig met die outydse atmosfeer behoue in die meubels en dekor. Dis verblydend dat hierdie ou gastehuis ons kultuur en geskiedenis "lewend" hou.

We felt wonderfully at home in the old house which reminded me of my grandmother.

The rooms are beautiful with the old-fashioned atmosphere preserved in the furniture and decor. It's gratifying that this old guest house keeps our culture and history "alive".

Terugblik op die verlede

Ons het in die Knegtekamer geslaap - wat 'n belewenis! Die kamer vervleg op 'n gemaklike manier die historiese met hedendaagse geriewe. Jy kan jou verwonder aan die detail in die dekor. Ons sal beslis weer daar oorbly.

Looking back on the past

We slept in the Servants' Room - what an experience! The room intertwines the historical with modern conveniences in a comfortable way. You can marvel at the detail in the decor. We will definitely stay there again.

Uitstekend en vriendelik.

Die Coetzees van Calvinia behoort die res van die gasvryheidsbedryf in SA op te lei en in te lig oor hoe om gaste te ontvang, te akkommodeer en te onthaal. Absoluut uitstekend en uitstekende waarde vir geld!
