Kuilfontein Guestfarm and Farmstall

Gerieflik, waarde vir geld

Vriendelike personeel; heerlike aandete.

Perfekte oornagplek tussen Kaap en Gauteng.

Uitstekende oorblyplek vir sawwe lyf na lang dag op die pad.

Baie lekker gekuier daar.

Lekker gekuier by die plaas.

Very friendly people, they'll see me and my family again.

Already sent pictures to my family and friends and recommended Kuilfontein as an overnight stay to Cape Town and back. Everyone is very excited to stay there.

Great place to stay.

Very nice hosts. Had a delicious dinner - Karoo lamb. And 3 course meal. Comfortable rooms and great service. We will be back!

Uitstekend.

Hier ervaar jy absoluut rustigheid, veiligheid, gasvryheid, stilte, netjiese en skoon geriewe - so nodig wanneer jy moeg na 'n dag se padreis is. Kan Kuilfontein verseker aanbeveel.

Gemaklik oorslaapplek met goeie kos.

Ligging is ideal, net af van die N1, maar ver genoeg dat die verkeer nie pla nie. Alles wat jy nodig het vir 'n oorslaap. Aandete was baie lekker plaaskos en ons het die sosiale interaksie met die ander gaste voor en tydens aandete geniet.

Very good experience. Will stay there again.

See stars.

Welcoming and highly recommended.

This is a wonderful place to stay on the N1 on the way to the Cape. It is close to the road, but still in the countryside with a beautiful garden and a pool. The old farmhouse is comfortable, homely and decorated with lovely antiques. The hosts are very welcoming and attentive including the lovely Staffie dog. We stayed there on the way to and from the Cape and each time felt like we were coming home. We also ate both dinner and breakfast and found the food to be plentiful and delicious and we were specifically catered for, being a family of vegetarians. We really liked the idea of being seated with other guest at meals whereby we could talk about our travels and get to know some new and interesting people. I would definitely recommend Kuilfontein.

Kom beslis weer!

Baie lekker gebly! Heerlik aandete en ontbyt, en eenhede ruim en mooi. Sal weer kom!

Goeie halfpadstop op pad tussen Oos-Kaap en Gauteng.

Martinette en Shelton het ons baie welkom laat voel en die aandete is aan te bevele. Die gesamentlike aandete was baie ontspanne en al die gaste het lekker saam gekuier. Dit is ook net goeie afstand van hoofpad wat dit regtig 'n gerieflike stop maak vir mense op pad na of op pad terug van vakansie.

Will be back.

Loved the warm and friendly welcome from the owner, the delicious meal and company. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. Lovely coffee shop on the farm with freshly baked goods. Highly recommended.

Warm country hospitality at its best.

A perfect stopover between Cape Town and Gauteng. Comfortable accommodation. We requested a meal and were served an exceptional 3 course dinner in the comfort of our room.

A wonderful place to stop, clean and very comfortable.

This is my second stop at Kuilfontein. I love the hosts, the staff are super friendly. They allow pets and have super comfortable beds. It's clean and neat and makes for a good stop after a long journey. Highly recommendable and I will stay there again.

A comfortable stopover.

A good stopover with a tasty meal and a lovely garden.

Sien julle weer!

Pragtige kamers, netjies en skoon. Lekker naby aan die N1. Aandete was uit die boonste rakke! Kan Kuilfontein aanbeveel, puik oornagverblyf!

Perfek, kan nie beter nie.

Beste oornag wat ek nog deur die webtuiste gereël het, gasvryheid die beste wat jy kan kry. Anna se gekookte kos die beste en kamers was perfek vir die koue. Vir ons Honde-kinders was dit perfek en Martinette het selfs ons honde welkom laat voel. Baie dankie, julle sal ons beslis weer sien.

Baie aangenaam.

Baie lekker verblyf met hartlike ontvangs. Die boere aandete en ontbyt was besonder lekker en atmosfeer tydens die etes met ander gaste baie spesiaal. Sal weer daar oornag en dit beslis aanbeveel as 'n goeie halfwegstasie tussen Gauteng en die Weskaap. Baie dankie.

Uitstekend.

Die kamers het alles in wat mens nodig het, dit is gerieflik en skoon. Kos is heerlik en gasvrye mense wat jou op die hande dra.

Pragtige plaas en geriewe en egte Suid-Afrikaanse ervaring.

Kuilfontein het 'n uiters gerieflike ligging vir oorslaap of kuier in die Transgariep. Die plaas is baie naby aan die hoofpad en die kamers is uiters goed toegerus. Die aandete was heerlik saam met al die ander gaste en baie egte Suid-Afrikaanse boerekos met heerlike skaapvleis is bedien. Die padstal is 'n bonus met pragtige en interessante ware, eetgoed en koffie. Ons was teleurgesteld in die effe onvriendelike ontvangs en afskeid deur een van die werknemers (nie die gasvrou nie) en dat die gasvrou self geen verdere belangstelling in ons getoon het behalwe die ontvangs tydens aandete nie.

It was fantastic. The quietest overnight stop ever.

So much more than we expected, tranquillity, privacy and many comfortable rooms equipped with everything you could need. The complimentary sweet wine!

Such a convenient, welcoming location which was even pet-friendly; dinner also a winner!

We were delighted to find a late booking at Kuilfontein which had been recommended to us! Convenient, pet-friendly and clean. The dinner option just simplified the entire trip!

Extremely comfortable overnight stay - warm and friendly host.

A very comfortable overnight stay - and a delicious roast lamb dinner; as a single traveller I felt very relaxed and safe. A perfect overnight stop on the way from Pretoria to Cape Town! Loved the white-throated swallows nesting under the eaves!

Hospitable, quiet and pet friendly.

Slept here with my two dogs, on the way from Pretoria to George. Would recommend anyone to do that too.

All good.

Definitely recommend, everything is lovely. Nice spaces, good privacy, nice touches like filter coffee, definitely order supper too.

Return of many stay overs. The usual high standard and excellent dinner.

Have stayed many times previously, together with my late husband. This time I was alone. Close to the main road, yet always very quiet and peaceful. Rooms plain yet tastefully furnished, have everything, and more, than you need. Dinner is always delicious. Well planned and prepared, very tasty. Definitely not too be missed. Didn't have breakfast this time as I needed to be on the road early. Suggestion would be to do earlier breakfast, or offer a packed one for travellers to have on the road.

Fantastic stay!

What a jewel in the Karoo. It was a pleasure to stay here. The hospitality of Martinette is incredible, accompanied by a delicious plate of Karoo lamb. Beautiful comfortable rooms. Will definitely stay here again.

Lieflike gastehuis, skoon, netjies en pragtige tuin!

Na die lang pad, is Kuilfontein die perfekte rusplek. Ons 16 maande oue seuntjie het lekker baljaar in die mooi tuin en dit geniet om op en af in die ruim kamers te hardloop. Die kamers was lieflik en smaakvol en die aandete was die cherry op die koek. Sal vir seker weer hier oorslaap in die toekoms.

Home from home stopover.

Googled to an introduction to Kuilfontein Guestfarm. Rewarded with one of our best stopovers yet on the Gauteng/Cape route. The dinner and breakfast also provided opportunity to interact with fellow travellers.

Gesellig, rustig en ontspannend na lang pad.

Baie rustig en lekker kos.

Beste oornagverblyf met kinders en troeteldiere!

Wonderlike boerekos-aandete en gasvryheid! Martinette en haar man gaan uit hulle pad om jou welkom te laat voel!

Waarde vir geld.

Drankies is bietjie duur. Kos is heerlik kan dalk eie groente kweek en gebruik. Vriendelike diens en gasvry. Sal 'n aircon verkies in kamers na 'n warm dag.

Good accommodation with pleasant people.

Accommodation was good, food was delicious. Will recommend them.

Uitstekende verblyf reg langs die N1, net die regte ligging op jou pad van die Kaap na Gauteng.

Baie goeie verblyf met 'n uitstekende bord kos in die aand.

Lekker op die plaas, al was dit kort.

Lekker geslaap en heerlik geëet.

Tweede keer by Kuilfontein. Gerieflike ligging en kamers. Etes baie lekker.

Ons hou van Kuilfontein Gastehuis omdat dit op 'n plaas is maar naby die hoofpad. Plaaskarakter van fasiliteite is vir ons lekker. Die aandete is vir ons 'n hoogtepunt en 'n groot rede hoekom ons weer die gastehuis gekies het.

We used this property as our go-to from Knysna back home to Pretoria and it was most enjoyable.

We had our standard french poodle with us and she was welcomed by the hosts, the supper and breakfast the following morning were of a very high standard and the quality of the food was good. All in all an enjoyable experience.

It was good in every way, except for the shower.

We stayed in the Annex. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable. The only problem was the water pressure in the shower. It was pathetic. Otherwise our stay at Kuilfontein was great.

Dit is ons gesin se lekkerste oorslaapplek.

Die Staples-familie en hul personeel, veral dierbare Anna, voel al soos ons familie. Dit is werklik vir hulle belangrik dat hul gaste welkom en versorg voel. Dankie vir die heerlike oorslaap, aandete en ontbyt. Dit was 'n hoogtepunt!

Gasvry en karaktervol. Rustige oorslaap.

Rustige huis met interessante kombinasie van oud en nuut. Baie gasvry.

Excellent service. Lovely rooms.

We arrived on a bitterly cold evening free a little by drive. Rooms were beautifully appointed, with welcome glass of port, tea and coffee, a heater and electric blankets. -7ºC outside and we were snug and warm. Lamb dinner was fabulous and breakfast was good too. We will come back.

Absolutely wonderful. Had a lovely roast dinner and delicious breakfast. Comfortable and friendly.

Stayed there twice ─ before and after our weekend. Highly recommended ─ just off the N1, wonderful hosts and friendly staff.

Ons het ons verblyf op Kuilfontein geniet en hoop om weer daar oor te bly.

Ons het heerlik oorgeslaap op Kuilfontein. Die eenheid was gerieflik en skoon en die nagstilte op die plaas wonderlik. Aandete deur Shelton en sy span was 'n hoogtepunt en ons kan dit aanbeveel!

Goed geleë, uitstekende aandete en vriendelike mense.

Die gasteplaas is goed geleë. Net ver genoeg van die N1 sodat die pad se geraas nie pla nie. Die geriewe is skoon en netjies. Alles wat nodig is om te oornag. Ons aandete was uitstekend.

Charming host and hostess, happy staff, all good.

All good, happy atmosphere.

Fantastic.

Homely and friendly!

Lieflike oase om te ontspan.

Lieflike plek vir ‘n moeë reisiger om te rus na ‘n lang dag agter die stuur.

'n Aangename ondervinding.

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang, sommer asof ons mekaar al jare ken. Alles is skoon en baie netjies - met baie gemaklike beddens. Aandete was smaaklik en die honde en die kinders was ewe gasvry ontvang. Martinette het uit haar pad gegaan om ons so vêr moontlik te akkommodeer met 2 klein kindertjies. Ons sal beslis weer daar oorslaap.

Goeie verblyf en uitstekende etes.

Verblyf was goed, ontvangs en vriendelikheid uitstekend. Etes is spesiaal en bediening van aandete in kamer 'n gerieflike lekker.

A welcome stop over after a long hot journey.

A welcome stop over after a long hot journey. Beautifully furnished accommodation. A friendly welcome and our optional extra Karoo Lamb dinner was outstanding. Our next day was started with a wonderful breakfast and best of all my dog child was most welcome! I will recommend Kuilfontein any day. Thank you for a great stay.

Fantasties plekkie om oor te stop op pad see toe! Lieflikste padstalletjie ook!

Wat 'n gerieflike en lekker oorstopplekkie! Shelton en Martinette het uit hul pad uit gegaan om ons te verwelkom. Het die ongelooflikste driegangmaaltyd gehad in die hoofeetkamer saam met ander gaste en ons kon bietjie rondstap op die plaas met ons hondjies. Dankie Kuilfontein, ons sien mekaar weer!

Baie goeie waarde vir geld.

Baie lekker gekuier en die die kos was ongelooflik!

Perfek.

As jy hier lees, en nog nie bespreek het nie, dan moet jy hoop hulle het nog plek vir jou. Hierdie is die beste verblyf wat ek nog langs nie N1 teëgekom het.

Great hosts and excellent meal.

Martinette was an excellent host and her icebreaker went a long way to get the guests to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Staff were attentive and well trained.

Puik. Wat meer is daar om te sê?

Verblyf is uitstekend. Etes fantasties. Vrystaat gasvryheid met Marinette en Shelton wat persoonlik kom kennis maak.

Best overnight stay ever.

Neat and clean room, tastefully furnished, friendliest staff and most wonderful quietness. Barely 1 km from the N1. We had dinner in the room. The sheepshank was of restaurant quality.

Mooi skoon en goeie kos.

Baie lekker gebly. Verblyf skoon en mooi met alles wat nodig is. Baie lekker beskuit. Kos was goed, driegangmaaltyd.

Comfortable, peaceful and friendly.

Could not access the farm stall. It was closed for coffee on the Monday.

Uitmuntend en 100% aan te beveel.

Kuilfontein is die eerste oornag wat ek met gemak 100% in elke opsig gee. Dan gee hulle nog boonop die heerlikste maaltyd wat op 'n baie professionele manier aangebied word! Selfs ons hondjie is welkom en voel gemaklik!

Oorblyplek wat ek enige tyd kan aanbeveel.

Gerieflik, goed geleë en maklik bereikbaar. Karoolamsete was onverbeterlik. Diens gul en behulpsaam. Dit was heerlik om daar te vertoef.

Baie vriendelik ontvang, dankie!

Ons waardeer die gasvryheid en die goeie kos wat opgedis is. Ons sal weer kom.

Hospitable and a lovely, tranquil atmosphere.

A tranquil atmosphere and lovely to relax after a long journey.

Alles was perfek en gereed vir ons aankoms.

Kuilfontein is 'n wonderlike lafenis aan die aande van 'n lang dag op die pad. Alles was skoon en gereed vir ons aankoms. Die ontvangs was hartlik en baie welkom. Ons reis met ons 2 honde en hulle was met ewe openhartigheid ontvang. Spaar jouself gerus die ongesondheid van padkos, want die etes by Kuilfontein is hoogs aanbeveelbaar. Anna is 'n uitstekende kok, en beter kos kan 'n mens nie voor vra as wat hulle bedien nie. Kuilfontein is ideal geleë en baie hoogs aanbeveelbaar.

Lekker oornag. Gerieflik en naby aan hoofpad, maar stil.

Mooi skoon en netjies. Lekker warm bad. Net nie van die kussings gehou nie en daar was geen ophangkas vir klere wat ons wou ophang nie.

We have used a number of one night stops between JHB and Cape Town and this one rates tops.

Compliments to the chef! Best stop over meal ever at a good price.

Nice and peaceful with my bare feet on the lush green grass with an ice-cold beer in my hand.

Overall a very nice experience and the perfect halfway stop between George and Centurion (almost on the km). Reception was friendly and warm. Our room and bathroom were spacious, clean and comfortable. Only 2 positive criticism notes: (1) I feel that we didn't get value for our money with regards to dinner. I expected a lovely farm dinner with soft mutton, rice, potatoes and vegetables (this is my idea of delicious farm food in the Karoo). I think the owner wanted to be too fancy with the food. If I have been driving for a long time, I just want to stay over and have a good meal, relax and have a good night's sleep. I don't really care for fancy-ness. For dinner we got two lamb chops with other foods. Most of the food was tasty but the lamb chops were tough, half raw, and I think I would have gotten better quality meat at Toits in Centurion. I was disappointed in the dinner. Sorry that I'm elaborating so much on this, but hopefully the owner takes it to heart so that they can provide a better service. I may be the only person who feels this way. (2) Our bed's mattress was very hard. Notwithstanding the above, I'd like to stay there again.

Warmly welcomed.

The unit was clean and neat and we felt safe. If we travel that way again, we will definitely stay over again.

Lovely.

Lovely place to relax.

Great hospitality and friendly.

Very friendly and cosy.

Lucky to get such good accommodation.

The hosts were delightful, going out of their way to make us welcome. Good bed, plenty of hot water, clean, and the evening meal was great.

Netjies en goed ingerig goeie lugging en fantastiese ete.

Sien sterre.

Goed geleë en die verblyf was baie netjies, skoon en aangenaam.

Die ontvangs en diens was baie aangenaam en professioneel. Die kamer was baie netjies en skoon met genoeg ruimte. Die tafel met stoele was 'n bonus. Het die moerkoffie sowel as egte melk hoog op prys gestel.

Asemrowende belewenis.

Sien die sterre.

Fantastiese oornag byna teenaan die N1.

Die verwelkoming, geriewe en veral die aandete sal ons altyd bybly.

Very comfortable.

We stayed one night en route to the Western Cape, in the large farmhouse with our two small children. Dinner was served in our house (at our request), separate from the other guests, who ate in the main house dining room, it was just easier with two exhausted kids. We all, including the 6yr old and 2yr old, licked our plates clean. Although it was very hot, all the rooms were equipped with fans which ensured a solid night's rest. We enjoyed the stay so much that we stayed there on the way home too.

We were made to feel so welcome!

Our room was lovely and clean, but what impacted me was dinner in the main house - as guests we gathered for pre-dinner drinks with the host and then enjoyed our home-cooked meal altogether. The food was outstanding, and the two ladies who prepared it and served it are an asset to the guest farm. Thank you for making our overnight stay such a pleasure!

Vriendelike ontvangs.

Gerieflike ligging en kamer.

Lekker gebly en die tuisgekookte aandete en ontbyt baie geniet.

Uitstekende oorblyplek. Jammer daar is geen hangkas in die kamer nie.

Heerlike etes

Baie lekker gebly met flink en vriendelike diens.

Gemaklik en warm.

Vriendelike diens.

Such hospitality from a gracious hostess. We enjoyed our stay immensely.

Our rooms were beautifully furnished and so comfortable. We were made very welcome and it was entertaining to eat at the same table as the other guests at both dinner and breakfast. It is a real haven on the long trip from KZN.

Baie aangenaam.

Ontvangs was nie baie professioneel nie en die eerste indruk was ook nie wat verwag word nie. Ons is egter aangenaam verras toe ons eers gevestig was. Die aandete en ontbyt was ook baie lekker.

Gasvry, vriendelike diens en rustig.

Kuilfontein is werklik die oornag werd. Ons het na 'n smaaklike aandete heerlik geslaap en uitgerus opgestaan op hierdie rustige plaas. Sandra is 'n gasvrou duisend.

Lekke oornagplek.

Ons het heerlik gebly!

Gevoel of ons by ou vriende kuier.

Baie dankie vir al julle moeite en so ook vir julle vriendelikheid. Ons sal verseker weer by julle kom kuier.
