Deep relaxation in the Boesmansrivier valley.

The stay at Gooding’s Country House was very enjoyable. The house and all its amenities were even more spectacular than the photos suggested. We enjoyed a week of relaxation, swimming, running, hiking, and sharing special time with friends.

'n Pragtige huis in die wynlande met die mooiste uitsig, rustigheid en wat in alle opsigte ons verwagtinge oortref het. Ons sal beslis weer kom!

Netjies. Pragtige uitsig. Volledige kombuis. Sagte beddens.

Skoon, baie stil, mooiste sterre, heerlike beddegoed, goed toegerus.

Ons was in die Hartbeeshuisie. Dis die moeite werd om die pad te vat na die Olyfplaas. As jy van stilte en sterre hou, is dit die plek om te wees. Daar is 'n vuurherd in die huisie maar ek sal nie aanbeveel dat jy vuurmaak binne nie. Die rook borrel in die huis in. Maak liewer buite vuur en bewonder die sterre.

Clean, very quiet, most beautiful stars, lovely bedding, well equipped.

We were in the Hartbeeshuisie. It's worth taking the road to the Olive Farm. If you like silence and stars, this is the place to be. There is a fireplace in the cottage but I would not recommend making a fire inside. The smoke bubbles into the house. Rather make a fire outside and admire the stars.

Baie dankie Cecile ons waardeer julle terugvoering. En dat julle die stilte van die plaas ook geniet het. Ons vra om verskoning vir die ongerief met die vuurherd. Ons het onlangs ‘n bye plaag gehad en moes die skoorsteen toemaak. Ongelukkig is die boodskap nie oorgedra nie. So jammer daaroor.

We loved our stay! What a stunning place.

Our second visit to Goodings Grove. The road less travelled was worth every minute. The beautiful olive groves, rim-flow pool, green grass and stunning farm house greet you on arrival. Everything is just perfect. The house is clean and beautiful and cosy and fully equipped. Everything you need and more for a perfect break away. We loved every minute and Rogers was an excellent host. Thank you to Salome for your great communications. We will return!

Absoluut fantasties! Gaan beslis weer daar kuier.

Ek wou my meisie op 'n naweek weg gevra het hom met my te trou. Vir 'n beter naweek kon ons nie gevra het nie. Dit is perfek geleë, met net die stilte om jou besig te hou. Ons het weer 'mens' geword. Lekker braai, met 'n wyntjie en geselskap was nog nooit sleg vir die siel nie. Die ligging is absoluut pragtig, al het die Boesmansrivier nie gevloei nie. Dis glad nie ver vanaf Bonnievale en die Robertson wynroetes nie. Ek kan dit beslis aanbeveel.

Absolutely fantastic! Will definitely go again.

I wanted to ask my girlfriend to marry me on a weekend away. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend. It is perfectly situated with just the silence to keep you busy. We became 'human' again. Nice braai with wine and company has never been bad for the soul. The location is absolutely beautiful, even though the Boesmans River didn't flow. It is not far from the Bonnievale and Robertson wine routes. I can definitely recommend it.

Presies gekry wat op die webblad beskryf word - hoogs aanbeveelbaar!

Rustig, stil, so na aan die natuur soos kan kom. Hoogs aan te beveel vir 'n plaaswegbreek. Baie netjies, skoon en vars. Jammer dit was nie warm genoeg vir die plonspoel nie - ons sal weer moet gaan!

Heerlike rus.

Ons verblyf hier was 'n groot verrassing. Die manier waarop die personeel ons ontvang het, hulle besorgdheid, die heerlike en gerieflike verblyf was ongelooflik. Alles is tot in die kleinste detail beplan. Van hout, vuurhoutjies, 'n noodlig tot die pragtige plaas was vir ons 'n asemrowende ervaring. Baie baie dankie. Ons wil baie graag weer kom. Hierdie keer bring ons die res van die familie saam en bly langer.

Wonderful rest.

This place surprised us. The way we were received by the staff, their concern, and the lovely, comfortable stay was just unbelievable. Everything planned to the finest detail. From the firewood and matches to the emergency light at his beautiful farm - everything was a great experience. Thank you very much. We would love to return, only next time we would bring the rest of the family and stay for longer.

Rustig, rustic en perfek vir wegbreek uit die besige lewe!

Baie lekker gebly. Francois, die plaasverteenwoordiger, was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam en het selfs hout en aanstekers vir ons in die huisie gesit. Alles wat jy nodig het was daar behalwe melk en koffie, wat ons gelukkig saamgebring het. Ons kon binne of buite braai en het dit so geniet om met 'n glasie wyn te sit en uit te kyk oor die olyfboorde! Die enigste drawback was die afstand van die naaste dorp, ongeveer 30 minute, wat vir ons nie 'n probleem was nie. Dis grondpad na die plaas is soms nogal 'n bietjie sleg, maar dis die moeite werd.

Peaceful, rustic and perfect for a break from the busy life!

Enjoyed our stay. Francois, the representative, was very friendly and helpful and even provided wood and firelighters in the house. Everything we needed, was provided, except milk and coffee. Luckily we took some with us. We could braai inside and outside and really enjoyed having a glass of wine with a view over the olive groves! The only drawback was the distance from the closest town, about 30 minutes, which wasn't a problem for us. The gravel road to the farm is quite bad, but it was worth it.

Nice for just overnight.

The road directions are a bit old, so got a few folds, e.g. the Trekker Tire with the name Pikkie is no longer there. We also had no hot water. Also nice and quiet.

Ek sal Country House beslis aanbeveel veral vir 'n groot gesin of groep vriende.

Dit was 'n lieflike, kunstige huis wat baie goed toegerus was met meubels en kombuistoerusting. Die kombuis is uitstekend toegerus, 'n kaggel vir die winterdae en swembad vir die somerdae! Die feit dat elke kamer 'n badkamer het, is baie gerieflik en die oopplan-leefarea maak saamkuier oor die naweek ekstra lekker. Dit is ook lekker naby vir 'n naweek uit die Stad uit en maklik om te kry. Die plaasbestuurder en kontakpersoon van Gooding Groves was baie behulpsaam.

I would definitely recommend Country House especially for a large family or group of friends.

It was a lovely, artistic house that was very well equipped with furniture and kitchen equipment. The kitchen is excellently equipped, a fireplace for the winter days and swimming pool for the summer days! The fact that each room has a bathroom is very convenient and the open-plan living area makes getting together on the weekend extra fun. It's also nice and close for a weekend out of the City and easy to get to. The farm manager and Gooding Groves contact person were very helpful.
