Hillbilly Farm

Imperfectly perfect

From the moment we walked in we felt relaxed. The farm dogs were excited to greet us but are well behaved and don't jump up. The farmstall is full of trinkets, farm produce and keepsakes to ensure you remember your stay. It's a farmstall where the locals hang out, so don't expect a bistro with cappuccino and biscotti, but coffee with condensed milk and great farm produce for lunch. The farm animals may have names yet wild at heart. Little Hamlet, the resident pigeon, makes himself very comfortable on your head and I felt blessed being christened with good luck. The cows and chickens have no fear but be weary of them. Our stay in The Roost was awesome, comfy and cosy sleep. Outhouse ablutions take some getting use to for someone from the city, but it's part of rustic Hillbilly feel of the farm and after your second trip you're quite used to it. Night-time fires in the fire pit double up as braai facilities and when the shop is closed you can sit in the bar with your hosts and enjoy a shot or two of their much talked about Chilli Vodka or try their home grown chilies. It may not be an adventure park, but it's not short on things to do but relaxing is definitely part of your stay. Thanks Tanith and Steven, we'll see you again soon!!

Owners were extremely hospitable.

If there was a pool or something to do on the farm for teenagers, then we would have enjoyed it that much more. But on the whole, it really was a great place to totally relax when we were there. Accommodation was very rustic but we knew that before going there, but next time we will remember to pack in bug repellant for sure. We used Hillbilly Farm as literally a place to sleep while we were out and about in Ceres.

Comfortable and friendly.

Very rustic and comfortable place. Friendly owners and will stay there again.

Baie rustic, maar is akkuraat voorgestel.

Verblyf was soos voorgestel en baie vriendelike gasheer. Wolseley pad naby aan die Cowshed was bietjie van 'n steuring. Oor die algemeen baie lekker vir klein kinders.

Pure plaas!

Pure plaas! Verblyf in die cowshed was 'n heerlike ondervinding. Kombuis, stort en toilet net bo-kant die huisie was gerieflik, skoon, voldoende en 'n groot plus. Die Nguni-kudde wat snags knus teen die huisie slaap en bedags in die omgewing wei was 'n groot plesier. Hoenders, eende en ganse loop bedags vry rond en doen wat geveerdes doen.Die honde op die werf is almal vriendelik en verwelkom jou soos familie. Inligting en reëls word humoristies weergegee. Oulike padstal met interessanthede. Lekke gewees!

Anders ervaring.

Dit is 'n baie anders ervaring. Stem nie saam dat die prys per nag dit regverdig nie. Baie te doen vir kinders en 'n plaas-ervaring wat ek baie van hou. Klein veranderings kan soveel waarde toevoeg tot iets indrukwekkend.

Great value for money staying somewhere different.

Superb place to stay at. Very basic, but absolutely amazing experience with the hosts, Steven and Tanith. They have the cutest little bar and also run a shop on their working farm. 10 mins drive from Ceres. It is by far the best value for money in the area! We had an awesome stay!

Als wat mens nodig het en meer.

Tanith en Steven was wonderlike gashere en ons het ons verblyf baie geniet.

Baie interessante plek, maar baie lekker.

Dit is baie lekker plaas-atmosfeer. Sal dit aanbeveel.

Pretty place, very peaceful.

We only used the place to sleep for work, so we were out the entire day.

Outdoor life.

Very neat place for the outdoor person. Clean, neat, with challenges.

Lovely, friendly farm atmosphere!

Very comfortable atmosphere, basic and quirky facilities and stunning surroundings! The chilli vodka shot was exceptional!

Soos min ander plasies, is dit regtig Hillbilly, gesellig en met min strings-attached, baie lekker.

Hillbilly is bietjie anders as meeste vakansieplase, in dat dit regtig gesellig, en sonder veel reëls en verwagtinge is. Ons was daar op 'n koue naweek, reën en al, en het lekker warm geslaap in die houthuisie wat hulle in hulle eie styl en reëls opgerig het. In die oggend kyk jy uit oor die hoenders, ganse en beeste wat op die gras rondstap, en in die aand kan jy by jou eie braaiplekkie sit en kuier - alhoewel ek stel voor om saam met die eienaars te kuier in die kroeg-lapa, waar hulle oop, eerlik en gesellig is om die koolstofie en kroeg. Hillbilly is rou, regte plaas, en 'n baie beter opsie vir mense wat die natuur, klipperige bergstappies en plaas-vibes verkies, met buitestorte en toilette wat jou nog nader aan die natuur en self-sustainable styl van lewe bring. In die dag, kan jy Worcester, Tulbagh en al die ander lekker plekkies gaan ontdek wat in die kontrei is. Hillbilly het 'n plaasstal wat vleis, en pasteie en allerlei snacks verkoop, sowel as ander lekker goedjies, geen rede om 'n sak vol inkopies saam te bring nie, in my opinie.

Fantasmagories.

Steven, Tanith en 5 viervoet kinders het ons dadelik tuis laat voel. Om in die natuur te wees omring deur die plaasdiere is so asemrowende gevoel. Ons het so ontspanne gevoel en het te lekker gekuier saam met Steven en Tanith. Hul laat jou dood familie in plaas van 'n gas voel. Sal beslis weer en weer gaan kuier.

Baie oulike en gemaklike verblyf.

Wonderlik met al die diere. Het amper een van die honde gesteel!

Fantasties!

As die stadslewe te veel raak, dan is Hillbilly Farm net die regte plek om by te kuier! Diere, berge en natuur op sy beste. Die kinders het dit baie geniet. Daar is baie plaasdiere en 'n mens raak weer een met die natuur. Ons sal dit enige tyd aanbeveel.

Wonderful location for budget accommodation.

Within its price range, Hillbilly Farm is certainly the best accommodation you will find. Although not luxurious, we stayed in a clean room with all the necessary amenities. Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming. We walked up the mountain (on the Hillbilly premises) to watch the sunset and braaied afterwards, both of which we enjoyed very much. We even fed the goats! I would certainly recommend Hillbilly Farm for budget accommodation.

Excellent for city people to escape to calmness.

My family were impressed and the location is great and not far from town and the mountain is great.

Was 'n fantastiese en unieke ervaring.

Om tussen die bokke, eende en hoenders te bly was 'n belewenis. Ons kamer was pragtig en ruim. Die buitestort en toilet het iets nostalgies daaraan gehad. Ek sal verseker Hillbilly Farm aanbeveel en sal definitief weer daar gaan bly!

Pure plaas.

Het baie lekker gekuier. Eienaars baie vriendellik en hulpvaardig.

Tanith en Steven was baie hulpvaardig en vriendelik en die kinders het dit baie geniet.

Lekker plek vir kinders en vriende om saam te gaan. Daar is baie om te doen op die plaas en in die omgewing. Dit was baie gerieflik om kos by die padstal te koop. Kamers was netjies en goed toegerus.

Had a great time.

I think I might not have expected much because the price was so reasonable, but together with a very comfortable stay, the owners also made us feel very at home. The location of the accommodation was also very easy to find and the road stall provided all we needed (and more). Thank you for everything Tanith and Steve.

Rustic, maar lekker.

Hillbilly farm is 'n baie unieke verblyfbestemming, met ganse, hoenders, honde, beeste en bokke wat oral op die erf doenig is. As jy dol is oor jou luukshede dan is dit dalk nie vir jou nie, maar as jy die plaas- en buitelewe geniet sal jy jou verblyf baie geniet hier. Definitief 'n besoek werd! PS: Vra vir die Chilli Vodka.

It was surprisingly pleasant.

This place is something else. Very convenient next to the road to Ceres. They really made a lot of effort to not make it a 5 star hotel. Even the toilets, showers, and kitchen is outside. There were animals to see and even a cock who woke us up at 05:00. For anyone who want something different I recommend this place.
