Peaceful relaxation.

Very friendly hosts, 2 separate units connected by an open stoep (patio): kitchen/lounge and bedroom/bathroom. Very peaceful, a birding paradise.

Waters en weivelde waar daar rus is.

Die eienaars was wonderlike gasvrye, behulpsaam en vriendelike gashere. Die omgewing self dwing besige stadsjapies om diep te ontspan en die natuur, stilte, en dierelewe in te neem. Die 2km stap na die Bergrivier was 'n maklike, mooi en opvoedkundige uitstappie (daar is selfs 'n piekniekplekkie langs die rivier as jy 'n rukkie daar wil vertoef). Die koel huisie het gesorg vir lafenis op die 30+ grade dae, so selfs in midsomer is dit 'n lekker wegbreekplek. Ek sal weer gaan!

Waters and meadows where there is rest.

The owners were wonderfully hospitable, helpful and friendly hosts. The environment itself forces busy city dwellers to deeply relax and take in the nature, silence, and animal life. The 2km walk to the Berg River was an easy, beautiful and educational outing (there is even a picnic spot by the river if you want to linger there for a while). The cool little house made for fun on the 30+ degree days, so even in midsummer it's a nice getaway. I will go again!

Wie stilte in styl nodig het, is Jantjieskraal die plek om te wees.

Dit was sommer net twee dae van vrede en rus. Ons is met ope arms ontvang. Niks uit plek uit nie. Heerlik geslaap, groot vuur gemaak en net ontspan op Jantjieskraal se werf. Dis onse mense. Dankie vir so 'n voorreg!

It was just two days of peace and rest. We were received with open arms. Nothing out of place. Had a great sleep, made a big fire and just relaxed on Jantjieskraal's yard. It's our people. Thank you for such a privilege!

Dit is 'n pragtige plaas - 'n kunstenaar se droom, want daar is so baie om te skilder.

Ons was daar tydens die blommetyd en die blomme was asemrowend en die heerlike soet reuke van fynbos was orals. As jy lief is vir voëls, is daar 'n paradys van verskillende voëls - in die dag en die nag. Daar is heerlike stapplek en die plaas is baie veilig. Ons het nooit bang gevoel nie. Die boer se huis is ook net 'n paar meter daarvandaan.

It is a beautiful farm - an artist's dream because there is so much to paint.

We were there during the flower season and the flowers were breathtaking and the delicious sweet smells of fynbos were everywhere. If you love birds, there is a paradise of different birds - during the day and at night. There is great walking and the farm is very safe. We never felt scared. The farmer's house is also only a few meters away.

Rustig en net wat ons nodig gehaad het, weg van die gewoel van die lewe.

Alles was mooi netjies en ons gaste, was uit die boonste rakke uit. Ons lekker gerus laat voel en indien enigiets nodig, was hul daar om te help. Die verskaf van hout en blitz en sommer hele pak ys, was ekstra spesiaal. Enigste klein ongerief was die dubbelbed. Die basis het so bietjie gekraak en ek het die matras se binnevere gevoel. Was bietjie ongemaklik.

Quiet and just what we needed, away from the hustle and bustle of life.

Everything was neat and tidy and our guests were top notch. They made us feel comfortable and if anything was needed, they were there to help. The supply of wood and blitz and just a whole pack of ice was extra special. Only minor inconvenience was the double bed. The base cracked a bit and I felt the inner springs of the mattress. Was a bit uncomfortable.

This break away was just what we needed. Lovely, historical, off-grid cottage and beautiful farm.

We loved our stay at Jantjieskraal. The birdsong at dawn and dusk. The farm animal sounds. The walk to the Berg River. The sunset bench at the big tree. The fynbos. The cute little cottage. Thank you Ilze and Giel for sharing you beautiful farm with others. We would love to visit again one day!

Rustig, stil.

Ilze doen baie moeite om inligting deur te gee wat voorspel dat die kuier aan ons verwagting sal voldoen. Vriendelik ontvang, alles was soos op die foto's, skoon en netjies. Baie hout waarmee ons die winterkoue kon weghou en tot laat aand kuier. Heerlik gestap en die natuur geniet. Sou net verkies dat die kothuis verder van die hoofhuis is, met uitsig oor die veld.

Calm, quiet.

Ilze makes a lot of effort to pass on information that predicts that the visit will meet our expectations. Friendly reception, everything was as in the photos, clean and tidy. Lots of wood with which we could keep away the winter cold and hang out until late at night. Lovely walk and enjoying nature. Would just prefer the cottage to be further from the main house, overlooking the field.

Die kothuis op Giel en Ilse se plaas is pragtig, ons het heerlik gesels, gebraai, ontspan en die 2 skaaphonde was net die cherrie op die koek. Gevoel of mens tuis is. Dit is 'n juweel. Die huisie is baie kunstig en dit heerlik om na die plante en tuin ook te sit en bewonder!

Ouwêreldse atmosfeer

Ons het verskriklik lekker gekuier. Lekker gerieflike plek en mooi omgewing - veral vir die wat hou daarvan om te stap. Baie voëls, veral uile en watervoëls by die rivier. Huisie is mooi beskut teen die sterk wind. Lekker braaigeriewe en hout is ook voorsien. Water is sout en drinkbaar, maar vars water was ook voorsien. Alles is pragtig skoon en daar was kaarte en bordspelletjies om te speel. Beperkte selfoonopvangs. Baie veilige omgewing. Die eienaars was altyd beskikbaar om enige probleme wat opgeduik het vinnig uit te sorteer. Bring maar alles wat jy mag nodig kry saam, want dis 'n redelike ent se grondpad uit die dorp.

Old world atmosphere

We had a great time. Nice comfortable place and beautiful surroundings - especially for those who like to walk. Lots of birds, especially owls and waterfowl at the river. House is well sheltered from the strong wind. Nice braai facilities and wood are also provided. Water is salty and drinkable, but fresh water was also provided. Everything is beautifully clean and there were cards and board games to play. Limited cell phone reception. Very safe environment. The owners were always available to quickly sort out any problems that arose. Just bring everything you might need with you, because it's quite a long dirt road out of town.

As jy wil lees en slaap, is dit 'n goeie plek.

Die kothuis is baie naby die plaashuis en dit laat min ruimte toe vir privaatheid. Die kombuis is net toeganklik vanaf die stoep, wat ook bydrae tot min privaatheid. Om vroegoggend eers aan te trek voor 'n mens kan gaan koffie maak, is bietjie awkward. Lekker kuierstoele op die stoep sou ook welkom wees. Die grondpad is goed geskraap, maar was vermoeiend vir ons. Die gashere is dierbaar en het ons baie tuis laat voel! Ons het die plaasdiere en die magdom voëls geniet!

If you want to read and sleep, this is a good place.

The cottage is very close to the farmhouse and this allows little space for privacy. The kitchen is only accessible from the porch, which also contributes to little privacy. Getting dressed early in the morning before you can go make coffee is a bit awkward. Nice chairs on the porch would also be welcome. The dirt road was well scraped, but was tiring for us. The hosts are lovely and made us feel very much at home! We enjoyed the farm animals and the multitude of birds!

Rustig, fantasties en baie mooi. Eienaars is baie vriendelik.

Dit was baie lekker! Baie rustig en baie mooi. Oorgenoeg hout en vriendelikheid. Ek sou net in die beskrywing van verblyf gesê het dat jy 50 m van die eienaars af bly. Sou lekker gewees het as ons stoksielalleen was. In beskrywing kan hulle net sê jy kan eienaars se huis sien. Sou ook groter kombuistoerusting verskaf het. Om vir 4 mense in daai klein pot en pan kos te maak is moeilik. Ilze en Giel is baie vriendelik en gaaf.

Peaceful, fantastic and very beautiful. Owners are very friendly.

It was very nice! Very peaceful and very beautiful. Plenty of wood and friendliness. I would have just said in the description of accommodation that you stay 50 m from the owners. Would have been nice if we were alone. In description, they can only say you can see owners' home. Would also have provided larger kitchen equipment. Cooking for 4 people in that small pot and pan is difficult. Ilze and Giel are very friendly and kind.

Simple, character-filled farm cottage.

Quaint cottage perfect for an overnight if you are exploring the area. Basic and adequate with a bonus of a lekker working farm experience and dog (Bella). We 4 sisters enjoyed the intimate cottage, and simplicity. Would be great for a August/September visit to the flowers and surrounds. Very central.

Very peaceful on the farm. Stars galore!

Oom Giel was a fantastic host. Patience of a saint with our kids! Kids fed the lammertjies every morning and evening. He showed us the owl house with skulls underneath. Lots of interesting things to explore on the farm. The river is close by and great for swimming and canoeing. Comfortable place to stay, with all necessities. An awesome break away from the craziness of life!

Perfect escape from the busy city life.

A cute little farmhouse cottage away from the busy lifestyle of the city. We were warmly welcomed by Ilze and her husband and everything was ready for us as we got there. We had a relaxed evening around the fire while taking in the fresh air and surroundings.

Lekker plaaslewe!

Dit was baie lekker om by Oom Giel en Tannie Ilse te kuier op hulle mooi plaas en my dogtertjie het dit baie geniet om die lammertjies melk te gee. Hulle as baie vriendelike mense en dit is baie lekker om daar te bly.

Nice farm life!

It was very nice to visit Uncle Giel and Aunt Ilse on their beautiful farm and my little girl really enjoyed giving milk to the lambs. They as very friendly people and it is very nice to stay there.

Dis was baie rustig en lekker stil, net plaasgeluide om ons.

Ons het heerlik gekuier en was die kinders het die hanslammers gevoer met 'n bottel. Dit was heerlik om die plaasgeluide te hoor tot diep in die nag en ons het die asemrowendste sonsondergang en -opkoms gesien. Neem net nota dat die twee kamers nie verbind is nie.

It was very peaceful and nice and quiet, only farm sounds around us.

We had a great time and the children fed the baby lambs with a bottle. It was lovely to hear the farm sounds late into the night and we saw the most breathtaking sunset and sunrise. Just note that the two rooms are not connected.

Baie rustig.

Jantjieskraal is 'n vakansie, nie vir aktiwiteite behalwe lees. Dit is waar jy afskakel en die ruimte geniet. Uitstekende plaasvakansie, kinders het ruimte en jy kan ontspan en as jy moet, ry vir die dag see toe.

Very calm.

Jantjieskraal is a holiday, not for activities other than reading. This is where you switch off and enjoy the space. Excellent farm holiday, children have space and you can relax and if you have to, drive to the sea for the day.

Ontspanning in die natuur.

Eerste oogopslag lyk dit nie na veel nie. Ons het egter heerlik ontspan met die seuns (5,7) wat hulle gate uit geniet het. Hulle het tot die oom help boer met skape. Die rivier het weer kleilat en roei en sommer baljaar teruggebring. As gesin sal ons verseker weer teruggaan. Aanbeveling, neem jou eie kampstoele saam.

Relaxation in nature.

At first glance it doesn't look like much. However, we had a great time relaxing with the boys (5,7) who enjoyed it. They helped the uncle farm with sheep. The river was once again clay-laced and rowed and brought the playfulness. As a family we will definitely go back again. Recommendation, bring your own camp chairs.

Loved it!

We were pleasantly surprised and satisfied with everything. The owners went out of their way to make us feel at home and welcome. The cottage is equipped with all necessities and the children enjoyed all the animals and canoeing on the Bergriver.
