'n Spesiale Karoo-ervaring.

Ons het heerlik gekuier by Ganora-gasteplaas! Hester, JP en hulle span gaan uit hul pad om 'n unieke Karoo-ervaring te bied. Ons het gaan stap op die plaas, voëls gekyk en van die fassinerende fossiele geleer. Ons kon ook Nieu-Bethesda en Graaff-Reinet besoek. Ons kom graag weer!

A special Karoo experience.

We had a great time at Ganora guest farm! Hester, JP and their team go out of their way to offer a unique Karoo experience. We went for a walk on the farm, watched birds and learned about the fascinating fossils. We were also able to visit Nieu-Bethesda and Graaff-Reinet. We would love to come again!

Die kuier by Ganora was heerlik en Nieu Bethesda is 'n interessante dorp.

Ons het heerlik gebly by Ganora na 'n lang dag op die pad. Die kinders het heerlik gefietsry en geswem en pool gespeel, so die ouers kon bietjie ontspan. Aandete en ontbyt was heerlik.

Ek is baie bly julle kon bietjie agteroor sit en rus! Dit is waarvoor vakansies is, veral vir die stadsmense wat so besig is deur die jaar. Die plaas gee die geleentheid dat die kinders lekker veilig kan voel en dinge doen waar ouers nie altyd betrokke hoef te wees nie! Geniet die vakansie!

Ganora is a gem hidden in the hills of the Karoo just 7.5 km from Nieu-Bethesda.

Experience life on a farm and take in the experiences of the Karoo in one breath. The hospitality is out of this world and there is such a lot to experience. From learning about bushman paintings to Karoo fossil to majestic hiking. Turn of the N9 towards Nieu-Bethesda, anyhow you like but get there to experience this magic gem! Spend a few days if possible at Ganora to get the true Karoo experience.

What a pleasant experience.

We had a lovely one night stay on route to the Kalahari. Wow we wished for another night so we could explore the farm. The whole farm feeling with an excellent meal. The dinning room is epic. The collection of farm tools and the fire place was outstanding. The ostrich was proper. You guys rock.

Scenic location and ideal base for exploring the area.

The self-catering cottage is situated against a slope with very nice views over the farm and landscape, especially from veranda where braai is. The Karoo veld starts on your doorstep - ideal for walks and kids enjoyed exploring the surrounds. Fully equipped for self-catering and with comfortable beds and quality linen. Very interesting fossil collection at private museum and we highly recommend the informative fossil talk by JP. Dinner was really good and so was the breakfast spread. The 7km gravel road between Ganora and Nieu-Betesda is scenic. We could easily have stayed in the cottage for 3 nights.

Baie gawe mense wat die ekstra myl stap om te help en mens tuis te laat voel.

Hulle het ons werklik tuis laat voel en selfs ons swemhanddoeke gewas en afgedroog nadat 'n storm alles papnat gelaat het. Ek is egter van mening dat dit te duur is vir die akkomodasie wat aangebied word. Klein kombuis met baie basiese geriewe. Baie klein sitkamer. Die etenstafel en stoele op die stoep was slegs vir 4 persone. Die stoep kyk uit op die plaasskuur en skaapkrale. Daar is vroegoggend en laatmiddag baie werksaamhede rondom die akkomodasie, as jy 'n plek vir afsondering wil hê is dit nie ideaal nie. Die honde wat kom kuier is baie vriendelik, maar slaap snags op die stoepstoele wat dit vol hondehare los.

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

Very nice people who go the extra mile to help and make you feel at home.

They really made us feel at home and even washed and dried our swimming towels after a storm left everything soaking wet. However, I am of the opinion that it is too expensive for the accommodation that is offered. Small kitchen with very basic amenities. Very small living room. The dining table and chairs on the veranda were only for 4 people. The porch overlooks the farm shed and sheep pens. There is a lot of activity around the accommodation in the early morning and late afternoon, if you want a place for seclusion it is not ideal. The dogs that come to visit are very friendly, but sleep on the patio chairs at night which leave them full of dog hair.

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer. Ons sien altyd kritiek as 'n manier om iets uit dit te leer. So ons waardeer regtig jou terugvoer.
Ek is vreeslik jammer dat julle die ergste hael storm in ons 25 jaar op die plaas moes beleef, 20mm in 10 minunte. Volgens die navorsers is dit die ergste ooit. Die baie reen daarmee saam was seker nie vir julle lekker om so gedwing te word om so baie tyd binneshuis te moes spandeer nie. Gewoonlik is ons gaste baie aktief en doen die toere, geniet die swembad, volg die staproetes of fietsry roetes en sommige neem deel aan van die boerdery aktiwiteite.
Die kombuis het 'n 4 plaat stoof en oond sowel as lou oond, mikrogolf en yskas. Alhoewel ons die kombuis het eet meeste mense by die eetkamer. Ek sal verseker gaan kyk wat ons op meer kan verbeter. Die tafel en bankies word verkoop as 'n ses sitplek, maar ek neem aan met 3 of 4 groot tiener seuns kan dit dalk 'n probleem wees en alhoewel dit die eerste klagte is wat ons gekry het daarvan, het julle ons ons gedagtes laat gaan oor dit. Ons gaan die gemakliker stoele op die stoep wegneem en 'n langer groter tafel kry. Dit los dan sommer die probleem op as ons honde geheg word aan kinders wat hulle baie bederf en Lulu daar wil slaap.
Ek is vreeslik jammer as julle die werkers in die kraal wat 65 m na benede van kothuis geleë is, steurend gevind het. Omrede ons nog nooit 'n klagte oor dit gehad het, sal ons van nou af verseker oplet dat hulle nie te vroeg daar begin woeker nie. Gelukkig is dit min wat hulle die krale moet gebruik. Gewoonlik geniet die mense dit om daar bo op die stoep te sit en die werksaamhede van 'n werkende plaas te bekyk.

Wonderlike plaaservaring!

Heerlike kuier op die plaas gehad. Ons was die enigste gaste op die plaas en die eienaar het ons daarom opgegradeer na die kothuis. Baie gemaklike kamers en beddens, ten volle toegerus. Ons het ‘n heerlike aandete op ons stoep ontvang en tot laatnag na die sterrehemel gekyk. Ons 3 jarige het dit vreeslik geniet om te swem, lammers tietiebottels te gee en rond te loop. Ontbyt was heerlik en die diens vriendelik! Sal Ganora vir enigeen aanbeveel en wil beslis weer in die toekoms daar kuier.

Wonderful farm experience!

Had a wonderful visit on the farm. We were the only guests on the farm and the owner therefore upgraded us to the cottage. Very comfortable rooms and beds, fully equipped. We received a delicious dinner on our porch and looked at the starry sky until late at night. Our 3 year old enjoyed swimming, feeding the lambs and walking around. Breakfast was delicious and the service friendly! Would recommend Ganora to anyone and definitely want to visit again in the future.

Heerlik gebly in rustigheid van die besonderse plek met goeie fasiliteite en uitnemende gasvryheid. Baie lekker geëet aan die tipiese boerekos so spesiaal aan die Karoo.

Besonderse gasteplaas. Heelwat geleentheid om die uitnemendheid van 'n verborge deel van die Karoo vanaf te verken. Kompasberg-sirkelroete word aanbeveel. Moet ook nie Nieu-Bethesda met sy eiesoortigheid vergeet nie.

Wonderful stay in tranquility of the special place with good facilities and excellent hospitality. Very nice to eat the typical peasant food so special to the Karoo.

Ganora is soos 'n Karoo-gelukspakkie.

Ware Karoo-gasvryheid, stilte en rustigheid, plaasvrede, helder sterrenagte, pragtige sonsopkomste en gerieflike verblyf wat jy net gaan beleef as jy die hoofpad verlaat vir die sowat 20 km se ry na Ganora. Jy gaan uitmis as jy nie Hester en haar bekwame kok se etes bespreek nie. En boonop is Ganora gerieflik 6 km vanaf die moet-sien Nieu Bethesda.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Ganora is like a Karoo lucky package.

True Karoo hospitality, silence and tranquility, farm peace, clear starry nights, beautiful sunrises and comfortable accommodation that you will only experience when you leave the main road for the approximately 20 km drive to Ganora. You will be missing out if you don't book Hester and her skilled cook's meals. And on top of that, Ganora is conveniently 6 km from the must-see New Bethesda.

Oase in die boendoe.

'n Ware oase in die boendoe. Gruwelike paaie soontoe (van Nieu-Bethesda se kant af in elk geval), maar die moeite werd. Netjiese en gerieflike kamers (met verwarmers en warmkomberse nogal!); lekker kuierkos in 'n gerestoureerde huis uit die 1820 Setlaars se tyd, mens voel sommer tuis. Ons het net oorgebly om Nieu-Bethesda se Uilhuis van ons kluitklaplys af te tik; maar wil regtig terugkom vir die heerlike verblyf, staproetes, fossiele, Boesmantekeninge, bergfietsroetes ensovoorts.

Oasis in the bush.

An oasis in the bush. Terrible roads (from Nieu-Bethesda's side anyway) but worth it. Neat and comfortable rooms (with heaters and electric blankets!); delicious food in a restored house from the time of the 1820 Settlers, you feel at home. We just stayed there because we wanted to get Nieu-Bethesda's Owl House from our bucket list; but we returned for the wonderful accommodation, walking trails, fossils, rock art, mountain biking trails and more.

Fantastiese plaasverblyf met vriendelike mense.

Dit was 'n regte vreugde om deur JP op Ganora ontvang te word. Ons was altyd vriendelik behandel en die personeel is almal hoflik en professioneel. Om op 'n werkende plaas te wees en alles te ervaar is 'n voorreg.

Fantastic farm stay with friendly hosts.

What a joy to be received by JP in Ganora. We were kindly treated all through our stay and the staff are all courteous and professional. Such a privilege to be on, and experience, a working farm.

Heerlike ervaring met ons kinders.

Kinders het op ons aankoms geleentheid gehad om die lammertjies melk te gee. Was baie spesiaal! Het ook lekker geëet en in die swembad geswem. Die kamer was pragtig netjies. Almal by die plaas was vriendelik.

Lovely experience with our kids.

Children had an opportunity on arrival to give the lambs milk. Was very special! Delicious meals and had a nice swim in the swimming pool. The room was beautifully neat. Everyone on the farm is friendly.

Juweeltjie weggesteek in die Karoo.

Ganora, a country destination.

Ganora is appealing as a destination that provides access to the area and is in close proximity to both Nieu Bethesda and Graaff-Reinet.

Our hosts, Hester, JP and Pat went out of their way to make us feel at home. The peace and quiet of the Karoo is really tangible at Ganora. The beautiful pool was also a very welcome relief. We will definitely advise people to visit Ganora and make use of your Travelground services.

'n Heerlike rus ervaring na 'n lang dag se reis.

Ganora was puik! Ek sal dit aanbeveel vir enige persoon wat 'n rustige oornagplek soek op pad Kaap toe. Ek sal graag langer wou bly om die staproetes op die plaas en die fossielepraatjie te kon ervaar. Ek hoop om weer daar tuis te kan gaan.

Uitstekend!

Gasvry, vriendelik en gesellig. Heerlike aandete en ontbyt. Goed toegeruste verblyf. Die privaat fossielversameling moet gesien word - dis uitstekend deur die gasheer verduidelik. Ons wil weer teruggaan om daar te gaan stap en self fossiele in die veld te sien.

Gracious, friendly and well-informed hosts, good food and most comfortable accommodation.

We came to see the Owl House and the Fossil Museum in particular, and found the host of Ganore Guest Farm had his own fossil collection and could give us an expert talk on the subject. Guests had dinner together and shared experiences and thoughts with the hostess who was so very ready to answer questions and be of help. We were offered a bigger room than we were first booked for and it was most comfortable and spacious with the largest bed we've ever slept in. Though a few kilometers out of town, the distance gave us perspective on this isolated hamlet we came to visit.
