Karoo oase.

Karen en Frans se plaas is pragtig en toe deel hulle nog hulle mooi plek ook met ons! Die oornagplek het alles en nog meer! Ons het die heerlikste Karoo skaaptjoppies geëet! Ons sal die plek aanbeveel vir enigiemand wat tussen die Kaap en Gauteng moet reis.

Karoo oasis.

Karen and Frans' farm is beautiful and they also shared their beautiful place with us! The lodge has everything and more! We ate the most delicious Karoo lamb chops! We would recommend the place to anyone who needs to travel between the Cape and Gauteng.

One of the best nights' rest we had over our two-week journey, thank you.

We arrived later than expected with no food, the owner quickly made sure we had something to eat. After a sunset walk, we had dinner and went to bed. Such a peaceful evening, all of us slept late, a really good night's rest, thank you.

Great overnight stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Grootforntein, it is a great place for an overnight stay along the N1. Situated about 3km from the N1, no traffic noise. Very safe, very friendly hosts, facilities offering all you need in terms of self-catering for dinner. Rooms are immaculate and comfortable.

Lovely rooms with great birding on the farm!

My partner and I had a wonderful one-night stay en route from Cape Town to the eastern Free State. We sneaked in some birding in the evening when we arrived and early the next morning. The dam was a brilliant spot with over 200 blue cranes coming to roost in the evening, great views of two groups of blue korhaans, a pair of booted eagles, and even a vagrant yellow-billed stork.

Pragtige ligging - oase op die pad, met smaakvolle en silwerskoon verblyf.

Die ervaring was wonderlik. Die eenheid is 'n wonderlike voorbeeld van Karoo-sjiek en kombineer modern met outentieke Karoo-elemente. Die plaas is besonders - die reuse swerm blou kraanvoëls by die gronddam was 'n verassing.

What a special gem.

What a special place! Next time we'll stay another night to fully experience the beautiful setting of Grootfontein Guestfarm. It felt like we were walking around in a magazine photoshoot! All the rooms are exquisitely decorated with plush cushions, soft knitted blankets and beautiful furniture pieces. The fully kitted kitchens with cosy "stoeps" are ideal for relaxing outside, while braaing delicious Karoo lamb chops. The kids enjoyed a dip in the big pool, thanks to the handy swimming towels rolled in a basket next to the pool. We loved the scenic walk past the labyrinth, the round farm dam, through the trees and the view looking over the big dam, enjoying the sunset while stretching our legs. Karen, you created a real gem! Be sure to visit the gorgeous Padstal next to the farm for a variety of delicious treats and gifts!

A real Karoo experience.

A beautiful oasis in the Karoo. We loved the gentle walks, the braai on the stoep and the quiet atmosphere.

Absolutely stunning units.

This is nothing like a traditional farmhouse. The interior decor is absolutely stunning and the units are spacious, modern and absolutely comfortable. They units are fully supplied with solar power, so no need to worry about loadshedding. Absolutely friendly owners who came out to personally welcome us in the pouring rain, and made sure we were all set before she left. Two things to consider, but absolutely minor. Wi-Fi signal is weak. It is just 3 km off off the N1, but dirt road all the way.

Gasvry, gerieflik, skoon, netjies, veilig, vars plaaslug.

Die verblyfplek is gerieflik naby die N1, maar tog so dat geen geraas van voertuie en trokke hoorbaar of sigbaar is nie. Die eienaars het ons persoonlik ontvang met ons aankoms en was baie gasvry. Die akkommodasie is skoon en netjies met alle nodige geriewe, ook lekker beskuit. Ons kon lekker in die veld gaan rondloop om bene te rek en foto's te neem.

Magical.

It's difficult not to gush about how wonderful our overnight stay was. Karen makes the world a better place by creating such beautiful spaces and generously caring for travellers. It was the perfect start to our holiday and would recommend Grootfontein anytime. Thank you, Karen for our magical experience.

Beautiful! Such a lovely stay with my wife and young one. Delicious Karoo dinner.

Our room had such a lovely farm feel to it. Our dinner was delicious and we had a great rest before continuing our journey the next day.

Hospitality was incredible! Definitely felt like home away from home! Thank you, Karen.

Room and bathroom including beds were comfortable, neat and clean. Karen went to out of her way to provide wood and braai salts for our self-catering evening braai under the stars! Thank you for a Karoo experience that we will recommend to anyone!

Pragtig, hemel op aarde! Baie spasie vir gesin.

Meer as genoeg koffie, tee en melk. Lekker beskuit gekry. Dit sê baie van die eienaars, en ek het dit verskriklik waardeer. Swemhanddoeke verskaf. So stil en rustig. Die mooiste voëls.

A beautiful location with rooms that are tasteful and high quality finish. Easy and secure for our two dogs.

Unfortunately the host misread the situation regarding smoking in the room. We certainly would and did not do that but despite this misunderstanding, we would highly recommend the guesthouse. The WiFi needs attention as was patchy at best. Even though the owner offers meals she was not there and recommended the "padstal" up the road for ready-made meals and was an excellent choice.

Dit is 'n lieflike oornagstop. Die plaasomgewing, rustigheid en vriendelikheid maak dit 'n welkome stop op die langpad.

Die eienaar het haar stempel uniek afgedruk op haar gasteplaas, fasiliteite om te gebruik alles baid mooi. Beslis 'n Karoo-stop om te moet doen. Alles is mooier en beter as op die foto's.

This is a lovely overnight stop. The farm environment, tranquility and friendliness make it a welcome stop on the long road.

Beautifully appointed.

Huge comfortable rooms. Lovely dining area where we braaied. The owner, Karen, had laid places at the dining table, put flowers around the rooms. Just made it special. This will always be my stopover of choice between Cape and Jhb. Great place, I will be back and recommend this place to anyone.

Fanatastiese oorslaapfasiliteit.

Baie vriendelike ontvangs, netjies, skoon en heerlike kos. Naby N1 maar ver genoeg om nie die verkeer te hoor. Sal beslis aanbeveel!

Wow, what a tranquil setting on this lovely working farm.

Grootfontein is like an oasis in the middle of the Karoo. Karen is a great host and always helpful. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. Separate kitchen and braai area is great and the fridge stocked with soft drinks, beers and ciders is a nice touch (at an extra cost, of course) especially since the farm is about 30 km from Richmond town. Nothing beats a Karoo night sky with stars aplenty, and there's even a little forest on the property. Not to mention a large swimming pool and grassed areas in abundance. All in all, we had a great stay.

Hidden Karoo gem.

The perfect halfway drop for our young family, Karen took care of us with a lovely braai pack and authentic but very glamorous accommodation. Close enough to the N1 to be convenient but far enough to feel isolated. An oasis in an otherwise dry landscape, the pool was a welcome sight and the newly renovated double shower was the best we’ve had in years. So clean, neat and well appointed. Will definitely be returning!
