Very pleasant. Good old fashioned Karoo gasvryheid. Peace and quiet for the soul.

Lovely! We went for lovely walks and a drive and saw a host of wild animals. It's off the beaten track, so go for two nights if you can and if you have a 4x4. Ask to stay in the berg huisie. It's stunning!

Avontuurlustige ervaring.

As jy die grondpad agter die rug het, is hierdie ongelooflike mooi deel van die Karoo absoluut die moeite werd om te sien. Ons het vasgeval a.g.v. oorstromings die dag van vertrek, maar dit was als deel van die ervaring. Ek sal dit enige tyd aanbeveel.

Adventurous experience.

If you have the dirt road behind you, this incredibly beautiful part of the Karoo is absolutely worth seeing. We got stuck because flooding the day of departure, but that was part of the experience. I would recommend it anytime.

Rustig, skoon, goed ingerig.

Gert en Julia is so gasvry. Ons is so bederf en het niks gekort. Ons hoop om gou weer daar oor te bly.

Het net een nag oorgeslaap, was rustig stil en veilig.

Baie vriendelike ontvangs, plaas kan verken word deur te stap, bergfiets en ook voertuig. Huis is netjies en skoon.

Vreedsame Karookuier. Gasvrye eienaars.

Dis effens ver van die N1 af en die 15 km grondpad neem ongeveer 20 minute om te ry met ‘n bakkie. Maar vir ‘n rustige reisiger wat nie gedruk is vir tyd nie, is dit ‘n lekker avontuur. Sal nie aanbeveel om die grondpad met ‘n sedanmotor aan te pak nie.

Peaceful Karookuier. Hospitable owners.

It's a bit far from the N1 and the 15 km dirt road takes about 20 minutes to drive with a bakkie. But for a leisurely traveler who is not pressed for time, it is a nice adventure. Would not recommend tackling the dirt road with a sedan car.

Wegbreek van alles. Ongelooflik mooi.

Die plaas is so 15 km van die hoofpad af op 'n grondpad. Geen selfoonsein, so perfek om heeltemal weg te breek van alles. Die sterre was ongelooflik en die plaas skoon en goed ingerig.

Getaway from everything. Beautiful.

The farm is about 15 km from the main road on a gravel road. No cellphone signal, so perfect for breaking away from everything. The stars were incredible and the farm clean and well appointed.

Dit was 'n ongelooflike lekker ervaring van rustigheid.

Gawe, gasvrye mense en 'n netjiese voldoende toegeruste huis. Dit is 'n ongelooflike lekker ervaring om so in die Karoo te gaan rustig verkeer. Dit was baie lekker en sal definitief eendag terugkeer soontoe en nie net vir en aand nie. Baie dankie Gert en Julia.

It was an incredibly nice experience of calmness.

Good, hospitable people and a neat well equipped home. It's an incredibly nice experience to can relax in the Karoo. It was very nice and will definitely return sometime and not just for evening. Thank you Gert and Julia.

Gasvryheid van die eienaars was onverbeterlik en die afgeleë ligging uitstekend.

Gert en Julia is seker van die gasvryste mense wat ek nog ontmoet het. Die huis is baie netjies (nuut), met 'n heerlike binne- en buitebraai. Bestel gerus vleis en wors by Gert voor julle gaan - heerlike Karooskaap. Ons het gegaan as 'n groep motorfietsryers, maar dit sal 'n heerlike wegbreek wees vir 'n gesin of groep vriende. Stil en afgesonderd, met net die Karoo rondom jou.

Hospitality from the owners was second to none and the remote location excellent.

Gert and Julia are probably some of the most hospitable people I have ever met. The house is very neat (new), with a delicious indoor and outdoor barbecue. Feel free to order meat and sausage from Gert before you go - delicious Karoo sheep. We went as a group of bikers, but it would be a great getaway for a family or group of friends. Quiet and secluded, with only the Karoo around you.

Uitstekend.

Baie lekker blyplek en regtig baie gawe mense. Ons is soos familie verwelkom. Karoogasvryheid op sy beste. Die huis het alles wat 'n mens nodig het. Die stilte van die Karoo is heerlik.

Keurige en goed toegeruste huis was lafenis vir die siel.

Die huis is pragtig, keurig versier en baie goed toegerus. Dit is omring deur Karoo-veld; die stilte en blou-blou lug is 'n lafenis vir die siel! Julia en Gert is baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Kan beslis aanbeveel!

'n Stukkie hemel op aarde.

'n Stukkie hemel op aarde wat ons met groot vrymoedigheid aanbeveel, veral vir mense wat die stilte en afsondering van die Karoo kan waardeer. Die huis is baie gesellig en gerieflik ingerig, met alles wat mens nodig het. Dis bv die eerste gastehuis waar ek 'n verlengingskoord kry sodat dit nie 'n gesukkel is om hare droog te maak ver van 'n spieël af nie. Gert en Julia maak seker dat hul gaste tuis voel en lekker kuier.

A piece of heaven on earth.

A piece of heaven on earth that we recommend with great boldness, especially for people who can appreciate the silence and seclusion of the Karoo. The house is very cozy and comfortably furnished, with everything you need. For example, it's the first guest house where I get an extension cord so that it's not a struggle to dry hair far from a mirror. Gert and Julia make sure that their guests feel at home and have a good time.
