Ons het heerlik gerus en die natuur geniet. Hawerland is lekker sentraal geleë.

Ons het vreeslik lekker gebly. Ons is goed ontvang en die gasvrou en heer is ware gasvrou en heer. Dit is baie warm in Desember, maar die buitestort en lekker swembaddens was 'n lafenis. Die stilte op die plaas en die uitsig vanaf die houtdek was heerlik.

We rested wonderfully and enjoyed nature. Hawerland is nicely centrally located.

We had a really nice stay. We were well received and the hostess and gentleman are true hostess and gentleman. It is very hot in December, but the outdoor shower and nice pools were a treat. The silence on the farm and the view from the wooden deck was wonderful.

Ligging het my 'n bietjie onkant gevang. Geriewe was meer as wat ek verwag het. Ek het lekker gebly.

Dit was 'n bietjie verder van die pad af as wat ek verwag het. Die pad was geter duidelik gemerk, en ek het nie getwyfel dat ek na die regte plek op pad is nie. Die geriewe was meer as wat ek verwag het. Ek het lekker gekuier. Weet nie of ek weer sal kom nie, maar sal dit aan die regte mens aanbeveel.

Location caught me a little off guard. Amenities were more than I expected. I had a nice stay.

It was a bit further down the road than I expected. The road was more clearly marked, and I had no doubt that I was going to the right place. The amenities were more than I expected. I had a good time. Don't know if I will come again but would recommend to the right person.

Spring flower road trip.

Hawerland was our base, from which we explored the coastal areas: Vanrhynsdorp district, Biedouw Valley. The spring flowers were magnificent everywhere! Hawerland itself is a nature-lovers paradise. The birdlife is inspiring. Hawerland is off-grid, peaceful and relaxing. Visitors may walk anywhere on the farm. The prefab cottage can be cold, depending on weather and the season, so be prepared. The hostess provides very warm extra blankets.

An unique experience that will have you go back for more.

Roedolla and Johan were amazing hosts. Real farm hospitality and unique creativity, mixed with the splendour of rock formations and veld. Quite an experience. It would be useful to add to the description that, despite the fact that there is no electricity, USB charging points are available.

Lekker stil wegbreekplek. Perfek vir 'n wegbreek uit die stad. Die pad soontoe is net nie regtig geskik vir 'n sedan nie. Grondpad is sleg en lank. 15 km se grondpad wat baie stadig gery moet word. Beter vir persone met 'n bakkie of SUV.

Private, peaceful and beautifully situated, and a good place to see spring flowers, too!

My prefab self-catering chalet was private, placed in a beautiful setting under a rocky ridge and the deck provided epic views. A perfect place to unwind in solitude or with friends, and a good place to witness spring burst into its colourful song.

Ons het lekker gerus en ontspan en die natuurskoon geniet.

Ek sal wel aanbeveel dat daar dalk meer aktiwiteite is vir tieners bv. dalk perderitte en ook dalk die beskikbaarheid van die huur van fietse indien gaste nie self in staat is om fietse saam te bring nie. Daar kan ook meer aandag gegee word met die instandhouding van karavane.

We rested and relaxed and enjoyed the scenery.

I would recommend that there might be more activities for teenagers e.g. perhaps horse riding and also perhaps the availability of renting bicycles if guests are not able to bring bicycles themselves. More attention can also be paid to the maintenance of caravans.

Ongerepte natuur, pragtig.

Die plaaspadjie vanaf die 10 km grondpad was ietwat te lank vir my 80 jarige Pa, veral met ons Toyota Etios sedan maar die natuur en omgewing is ongelooflik mooi. Ideale wegbreek veral birdie buitelug lewe. Wees gewaarsku, dis ongelooflik warm in Desember met geen verkoeling in die huisie en die son is orals.

Vriendelike eienaar. Eenheid was nie baie skoon nie.

Ons het uitgesien na die rustigheid op die plaas. Daar was egter kinders wat heeltyd met motorfietse om ons eenheid gejaag het. Ons was twee gesinne met 5 kinders onder die ouderdom van 7 jaar, daar was gaste wat by die kuierarea geraas en musiek gemaak het tot na 02:00 op die Sondagoggend.

Great area for walks, felt safe. House just a bit cold in the evening, but has enough warm blankets and took our hot water bags with us, seeing that August is still very much winter in the Cape. Will definitely go again.

Fantastic off-the-grid stay.

I have to commend the hosts on an amazing place for us who want to have an off-grid experience. Johan and Roedolla are awesome hosts and we had a very special and beautiful togetherness. They made us feel at home and even spoiled us with home-baked bread. Their hospitality has been impeccable and I would recommend and promote their place to everyone who would like this kind of retreat. Thank you once again for opening your doors to us.

A relaxing and satisfying escape.

We returned to Hawerland to see how the wild flowers had changed since September. We were not disappointed, with many special plants found on our walks and drives on the farm. It is a very relaxing place to visit, with friendly hosts and basic, but comfortable accommodation. The swimming pool is great on the hot days and the outside showers are a great addition to the chalets. We will return!

Flower paradise in this remote and peaceful setting.

We returned to Hawerland in flower season, because of excellent viewings there previously. The farm itself offers a staggering array of flowering plant species, all reached via short accessible walking routes from the cottages. These included two of my favourites, Ferrarias and sweetly scented Wurmbeas, as well as countless Moraeas, Babianas and Holothrix. Clanwilliam and Lamberts Bay are easy drives away if one wishes to go there. The cottages are basic, but provide all one needs, although a note to say the sheets are in the wooden chest would be useful! The addition, since our last visit, of a hot outdoor shower, was very welcome - and it is an excellent shower, where I had the company of a Cape Robin Chat singing in the bush nearby! Roedolla is a welcoming hostess, eager to share information and hear of our experiences on the farm. We will certainly return.

Die uniekheid om in 'n antieke karavaan te bly was beslis die moeite werd. Roedolla (gasvrou) en Johan is sout van die aarde mense!

Die rustigheid en die verafgeleë ligging van die akkommodasie was great. Wees tog versigtig, die perde besoek wel die motor. Die warm water was nie in ons eenheid beskikbaar nie, maar ons kon gebruik maak van die naburige eenheid.

Comfortable, safe and secluded.

We spontaneously booked this trip on the fly on our way to surf islands. We arrived late to a warm welcome. And boy did we have fun. The location is breathtaking. The views on our way got us ready. We made it in 2 small cars, roads were not to bad. Even though we had low profile tyres. The pool and lapa was much needed in the heat of the Cederberg. We spent a lot of our time there. We were hosted to a great new years with snacks and drinks we did not expect. And this home made granadilla concoction got us on our way. The accommodation was neat and cosy. Perfect for couples or friends. And with so much to do with a 50 km radius. I would definitely stay there again.

Die sisteem wat ons gebruik se selfoonbatterylaaiers verskil van wat ons gebruik. Mense is welkom om hulle selfone by die hoofhuis te kom laai aangesien ons 'n groter solarstelsel gebruik waar plugs is.

Dit was 'n fantastiese ervaring, dankie Roedolla!

Dit was koud en reënerig, maar die ontvangs en verblyf was so warm en aangenaam. Ons kon ervaar hoe die gasvrou van haarself in die plekkie ingebring het met skilderye en ander pragtige items wat dit so huislik laat voel het. Dit was werklik die kersie op die koek om 'n lekker warm bad te kon vat en in 'n warm sagte bed te kon slaap na 'n lang dag se reis. Ons sal beslis weer gaan kuier en sal die plekkie ten sterkste aanbeveel. Die feit dat daar nie krag was, om selfone mee te laai nie, het ons glad nie eers gepla nie, want die goed toegeruste kombuisie het dit na onbenulligheid laat voel. Dankie Roedolla, ons waardeer jou gasvryheid. Dis baie skaars en kosbaar.

It was a fantastic experience, thank you Roedolla!

It was cold and rainy, but the reception and stay was so warm and pleasant. We could experience how the hostess brought herself into the place with paintings and other beautiful items that made it feel so homely. It was truly the icing on the cake to be able to take a nice hot bath and sleep in a warm soft bed after a long day's travel. We will definitely visit again and would highly recommend the place. The fact that there was no power to charge mobile phones didn't even bother us at all, because the well-equipped kitchen made it feel like triviality.

I would recommend staying at Hawerland in summer only.

Hawerland is on a beautiful farm and is a well thought-out pre-fab cottage, with all the amenities. However, the solar lighting is very poor, you cant even read by the power it gives. The lights are on a day / night system. They only came on at 6:30 pm when the cottage was already dark and were already off at 6 am when the cottage was still dark (end of August). We stayed on a bitterly cold night. There was insufficient blankets (3 blankets for 2 beds and a sheet), no gas heater - to the point where we had to sleep with vests, beanies, scarfs and jackets just to try and keep warm. There is also no lounge suite to sit on, only a dining room table. Having said this, in summer it would be a lovely cottage with a huge covered veranda and braai area, with beautiful views.

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer, Debbie. Ons beplan om 'n beter batterystelsel in te sit sodra die nodige fondse beskikbaar is. Ek is jammer dat julle koud geslaap, maar ek het dit tog duidelik gestel om my asb. te skakel, ek sou selfs my bed s'n afgestaan het.

As ek die tafel uithaal en banke insit is daar weer nie eetplek nie. Die ou huisies is maar net so groot, daarom het ek op die dek lekker sitplekke. Al my fotos is duidelik sodat voornemende gaste weet wat om te verwag voor hulle bespreek. Tog waardeer ek almal se opinie en sal my bes probeer om almal gelukkig te probeer maak.

Rustig en mooi.

Kon nie selfone laai nie, maar eienaar het by sy huis gaan laai. Kon ook nie haardroër gebruik nie. Groter sonpanele is nodig aangesien ligte vroegaand al begin flikker. Verder, alles perfek. Sal weer gaan.

Quiet and beautiful.

Couldn't charge cell phones, but owner went to charge at his house. Couldn't use hair dryer either. Larger solar panels are needed as lights start to flicker in the early evening. Other than that, everything perfect. Will go again.

If you like camping the perfect.

If you like camping it is perfect, but there is no electricity. The house is neat and cute, just a little further out of town than we thought. Owner is great and friendly.

A great place to relax, walk and enjoy the flowers on your doorstep.

If your idea of heaven is to walk out the door of your cottage and up the hill behind, and spend the whole day looking for and enjoying a bounty of spring flowers, then this is the perfect spot for you. The cottages are well appointed, although you do need warm clothes and a hot water bottle for the winter nights and early mornings. Roedolla is a friendly and helpful host and her dogs make great companions on your walks. Elands Bay, Lamberts Bay and Clanwilliam are all nearby if you want to explore the area further.

Wonderful and peaceful! Friendly welcoming and a beautiful sky of stars!

I went to Hawerland specifically to take photos of the stars. In addition to some beautiful photos, I found peace and quiet, friendly hosts and some beautiful flowers to top it all off. I would recommend Hawerland for anyone who wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Pragtige ligging.

Huisie 1 se geriewe was heel voldoende vir ons gesin met 2 laerskool kinders. Ons het teen skemertyd aangekom en die vuur was sommer reeds gepak en genoeg hout beskikbaar. Die beligting se battery het nie tot slaaptyd gehou nie, maar Roedolla het dadelik addisionele paraffienlampe gebring. Daar is nie regtig genoeg neersit/ophangplek vir klere en toiletware nie. Die omgewing is baie mooi en die huisies baie netjies.

Beautiful location.

House 1's facilities were quite adequate for our family with 2 primary school children. We arrived at dusk and the fire was already packed and enough wood available. The lighting's battery did not last until bedtime, but Roedolla immediately brought additional paraffin lamps. There isn't really enough storage/hanging space for clothes and toiletries. The surroundings are very beautiful and the houses very neat.

Ongelooflik rustig met 'n fantastiese uitsig.

Hierdie bestemming is nie bedoel vir plesiersoekers nie. Jy kom hierheen om te rus. Speel speletjies met jou kinders, stap in die natuur en swem wanneer dinge te warm raak. Bou 'n gesellige vuur om by te kuier. Vergeet van jou selfoon. Jy het dit in elkgeval nie nodig nie.

Incredibly peaceful with a fantastic view.

This destination is not meant for pleasure seekers. You come here to rest. Play games with your kids, take nature walks and swim when things get too hot. Build a cozy fire to cozy up to. Forget about your cell phone. You don't need it anyway.

It was one of the best "off grid" experiences we've had in a long time!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hawerland and would recommend it to anyone looking for peace and quiet. We stayed for 3 days and it was hot. Luckily there's a nice swimming pool to cool off in. It was so quiet, we also live on a farm but closer to the city, but this is a different quiet; the type that makes you think without any distractions. I loved sitting by the fire until 02:00 in the morning and it was still warm with no mozzies! There is cellphone signal, and 4G is available (if your cell allows it).

It was uncomfortably hot - 41 degrees - no cooling, not even a fan, no water in the fridge on arrival.

Hawerland is a very nice place, but unfortunately it lacks fans for the uncomfortable heat and just a little attention to the guests' needs, such as only cold water in the fridge.

Dit was uitstekend, die eienaars is vriendelik en behulpsaam en ons kon nie vir 'n beter rustiger tyd gevra het nie! Ons gaan definitief weer. Hawerland is ideaal geleë tussen Clanwilliam en Lambertsbaai. As jy rus en vrede soek, weg van selfone en lawaai is Hawerland die plek om te wees.
