Mooiste Klein Karoo.

Ons het vreeslik lekker by Kerneelia Kothuis gebly. Die gasheer was baie vriendelik en ons was verwelkom met vars blomme, vrugte uit die boord en vars kruie om te gebruik. Die kothuis is baie netjies en skoon met die mooiste vlakte en berguitsig. Die kothuis is ingerig met alles wat jy kan nodig hê - let wel dat dit op sonkrag hardloop, so daar is nie 'n mikrogolf nie, maar daar is 'n braai en 'n gasstoof. Dit is tjoepstil en ons sal vir seker weer teruggaan. Daar is 'n lieflike wynvat waarin jy kan afkoel. Daar is 'n opsie om verskeie items van die plaas te bestel vir jou verblyf. Ons het braaipakke bestel, dit was meer as genoeg kos, liplekker, net soos jou Ouma dit sou maak.

Most beautiful Little Karoo.

We had a really nice stay at Kerneelia Kothuis. The host was very friendly and we were welcomed with fresh flowers, fruit from the orchard and fresh herbs to use. The cottage is very neat and clean with the most beautiful plain and mountain view. The cottage is furnished with everything you could need - note that it runs on solar power, so there is no microwave, but there is a braai and a gas stove. It is quiet and we will definitely go back again. There is a lovely wine barrel in which to cool off. There is an option to order various items from the farm for your stay. We ordered braai packs, it was more than enough food, lip smacking, just like your Grandma would make it.

Fantastic.

We had the most wonderful stay. The hosts are amazing. The food provided was delicious. We had a great time resting and enjoying the birds and farm life. Would recommend Kerneelia Kothuis for all nature lovers and getting away from the hustle and bustle of cities. We loved the privacy and especially the wine vat splash pool on those hot summer days.

Gasvryheid en lekker eet.

Met die aankoms was ons bederf met heerlike wyn en braaibokse met die lekkerste disse. Ontbyt was lig en lekker. Die stilte van die Karoo is wat mens se siel nodig het, weg van die stad se lawaai.

Hospitality and good food.

On arrival we were spoiled with delicious wine and barbecue boxes with the most delicious dishes. Breakfast was light and tasty. The silence of the Karoo is what one's soul needs, away from the city's noise.

Incredibly peaceful and charming accommodation!

We loved the rustic nature of the off-grid cabin. It was perfectly equipped and comfortable. The sky, the hills, the farm - all just wonderful. We had dinners catered by the host - something not to be missed! And she also made delicious "light" (but actually quite complete!) breakfasts.

Rustigheid vanself in 'n pragtige Karoo-kothuisie.

Celia se gasvryheid ken geen perke. Lekker bottel wyn en ontbyt-mandjie. Die plekkie is goed ingerig met lekker braai agter.

Ons verwagtinge is oortref.

Kerneelia Kothuis het 'n gerustellende rustieke warmte wat ons dadelik ongewe het. Celia het ons persoonlik verwelkom en seker gemaak ons ontbreek niks. Soggens is ons bederf met 'n heerlike ontbytmandjie en allerlei ingemaakte bederfies. Die sononderperdrit met drankies en heerlike, tuisgemaakte happies was 'n hoogtepunt. Doornkraal is 'n uitsonderlike plek met 'n ryke familie geskiedenis, ouwêrelse gasvryheid en 'n skatkis vol interessante staaltjies. Ons sal beslis weer daar gaan kuier.

Our expectations were exceeded.

Kerneelia Kothuis has a comforting rustic warmth that immediately won us over. Celia welcomed us personally and made sure we were missing nothing. In the morning we were spoiled with a delicious breakfast basket and all kinds of canned treats. The sunset horse ride with drinks and delicious homemade snacks was a highlight. Doornkraal is an exceptional place with a rich family history, old-world hospitality and a treasure chest full of interesting anecdotes. We will definitely visit there again.
