Alle verwagtinge oortref!

Wat 'n juweel. Totaal en al bo alle verwagtinge. Minstens 4-ster-kwaliteit en dit op so 'n 'onverwagse' plek. Perfekte oornag-oase tussen Gauteng en Kaapstad. Soveel karakter en atmosfeer.

Uitsonderlik.

Gerieflik, skoon, luuks, vriendelik, Afrikaans, sien my beslis weer!

Uitstekend ligging, huislik en gemaklik. Silwerskoon.

Baie dankie aan Penny en haar personeel. Spesiale vermelding aan Evelyn wat ons mooi gemaklik gemaak het, en net op die regte tyd liggies gebring het omdat beurtkrag ons gevang het. Pragtige huislike eenhede, silwerskoon, keurig gemeubileer en ten volle toegeruste kombuis. Ek het The Paddocks se spierwit linne baie waardeer. Cheers- sien julle een van die-dae weer vir 'n braai op julle stoep en ver uitsig.

Beautiful guest farm with superb service.

The perfect stopover on the way to the Cape. Rooms are extremely comfortable, the food is delicious and this all on a farm in the Karoo. Thanks Lexi and Kirstin for making our stay so memorable.

Lovely quiet accommodation with excellent service.

We enjoyed our stay at the Paddocks, it's so quiet. The people are friendly and the service good. The units are very comfortable, clean and neat. The food is delicious. Evelyn is very friendly and helpful. It is an added bonus to wake up early in the morning with the singing of a variety of birds and experience the beautiful sunrise.

Heerlike rustige verblyf met uitstekende diens.

Ons het baie lekker in die Paddocks gebly, dit is so lekker rustig. Die mense is vriendelik en die diens goed. Die eenhede is baie gerieflik, skoon en netjies. Die kos is heerlik. Evelyn is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Dit is 'n ekstra bonus om vroegoggend met die gesing van 'n verskeidenheid voëls wakker te word en die pragtige sonsopkoms te beleef.

Wonderlik.

Ek het vroegoggend lekker gaan stap. Die kos was lekker wat ons bestel het en die kamers was mooi. Let op dat in die stort is dit onmoontlik om te stort onder die stortkop. Die water spuit orals behalwe op jou lyf. Jy kom kurkdroog uit die stort. Ek sal hulle definitief weer besoek.

Alexandra's Response

Hi Michelle,

Thank you for the lovely review. I apologise about the shower. We have changed the shower head as we were unaware that it was spraying around.

Perfect stop on our way to the Western Cape.

The units are very well-equipped and decorated beautifully. Bedroom is very comfortable. The home-made food that you can order in advance is the perfect thing after a long day of travelling. We were able to bring our dog and appreciated it a lot. Wish we could've stayed longer.

Perfekte stop oppad na die Wes-Kaap!

Die eenhede is baie goed ingerig en baie mooi versier. Slaapkamer is baie gemaklik. Die tuisgemaakte kos wat 'n mens vooraf kan bestel is die perfekte ding na 'n lang dag se reis. Ons kon ons hond saambring en het dit baie waardeer. Wens ons kon bietjie langer daar bly!

Beautiful and peaceful.

We enjoyed our stay at Kauilfontein. The peaceful farm area was exactly what we needed after a long, tiresome journey. The rooms and public areas are beautiful and comfortably furnished with a warm atmosphere. Dinner was delicious and breakfast much better than your standard B&B breakfasts.

Baie mooi en rustig.

Ons het heerlik gebly by Kuilfontein. Die rustige plaasomgewing was presies wat ons nodig gehad het na 'n lang, vermoeiende reis. Die kamers en openbare areas is mooi en gerieflik ingerig met 'n warm atmosfeer. Die aandete was baie lekker en die ontbyt baie beter as die standaard B&B ontbyte.

Asemrowende Karoo-sonsondergang.

Wat 'n ongelooflike ondervinding om hier oor te bly. Die kamers is pragtig, skoon en het die gemaklikste matrasse. Die kos is geurig en word so mooi voorgesit. Die eienaar en personeel is vriendelik en die hele tyd in die omgewing vir as jy iets benodig. Maak seker om van die pekanneute te koop wat op die plaas geboer word. Ons sal beslis weer daar bly en beveel Kuilfontein aan vir 'n onvergeetlike belewenis.

Baie dankie Nicolene, ek waardeer die terugvoer.

Clean and neat and a delicious food.

Very clean and neat accommodation. Delicious food is left in your room, which you can just heat up in the microwave. So even if you only return late at night, there will be a nice plate of traditional "boerekos", a clean bed and a lovely bath.

Skoon en netjies en lekker bord kos.

Baie skoon en netjiese verblyf met 'n lekker bord kos wat vir jou in jou kamer gelos word wat jy net kan warm maak in mikrogolf. So al kom jy laat in die aand of nag daar aan is daar 'n lekker bord boerekos wat wag en 'n warm, skoon bed en lekker bad.

Sleepover on our way to Knysna.

Nice place to stay - quiet and comfortable. Our ordered dinner was ready on arrival and very tasty. Staff so friendly it made up for the fact that our shower had no hot water in the morning (we showered next door).

Alexandra's Response

Thank you for your lovely comments. I apologise about the hot water but we had a burst geyser due to the very cold conditions.

Met honde gereis - wat baie welkom laat voel is.

Heelwat ander mense wie almal met honde op reis was, ook in dieselfde deel van gaste-area. Wat heerlik was, is dat dit mens gemaklik laat voel het omdat jy nie enigste met troeteldiere is nie. Mens is maar altyd bang jou diere steur ander gaste, maar hier was almal in dieselfde bootjie. Glo die eienaars het 'n wenresep hier en ek sal vir seker graag weer hier oorbly.

Five star!

I have been there before for a hunting trip. High quality accommodation and catering.

Vyfster!

Ek was al voorheen daar met 'n jag-geleentheid. Topgehalte-verblyf en spyseniering.

Wonderful hospitality, beautiful rooms and delicious meals.

Penny, Lexi, Grant and Portia makes sure that your every need is met. The meals are something different and play with your taste buds. Die rooms are spacious and the linen fresh. The Karoo air is fresh and the farm atmosphere adds to a very special experience.

Wonderlike gasvryheid, pragtige kamers en heerlike etes.

Penny, Lexi, Grant en Portia maak seker elke behoefte word na omgesien. Die etes is iets anders en speel met jou smaakbekertjies. Die kamers is ruim en die linne kraakvars. Die Karoolug is vars en die plaasatmosfeer dra by tot 'n baie spesiale ervaring.

Phenomenal.

Spoilt with amazing views of the Karoo from your front stoep. Definitely homely and a sense of belonging. Unique decor with small details of comfort away from home. Exceptional service from the owner and staff from the moment we arrived. The best food (better than my mom's). Freshly baked muffins and homemade breads! Comfortable lounge, cute outside seating, the best antique culture experience.

I could live here.

It was an absolute pleasure to stay over here again. The farm atmosphere, coupled with attention to detail and a personal touch, is a winning formula. To say the fine dining we enjoyed was "nice", would be an insult - it was a fabulous gastronomical and sensory experience! We've stayed here before when the kids were little and even now, as teenagers, they were enthralled by everything this wonderful place has to offer. Thank you Penny and Patricia - we'll most definitely be back!

Die verblyf was van hoogstaande gehalte asook die maaltye was van hoogstaande gehalte. Penny Southey is 'n baie goeie gasvrou wat onderhoudend kan gesels en jou gou op jou gemak kan laat voel. Wat baie prysenswaardig is, is die liefdadigheidswerk wat hulle verrig onder die "karretjiemense" in die gemeenskap asook die geskiedkundige agtergrond van die plaas. Wens ons kon langer vertoef. Dit is ook baie gerieflik teenaan die N1 roete tussen Johannesburg en Kaapstad geleë wat dit 'n gerieflike oornag bestemming maak. Sal beslis weer daar besoek aflê!

Vriendelik en gerieflike oornagblyplek.

Kuilfontein bly 'n baie betroubare oornagstop. Vriendelike eienaars en personeel, gerieflike kamers met 'n eg Karoo-aandete. Hulle kan egter gerus oorweeg om kliënte WiFi toegang te bied.

Dit was 'n ervaring om in die Karoo te oornag en die kleinste kroegie te beleef!

Hierdie is 'n verblyfopsie wat beslis deur enige reisiger oorweeg moet word. Die eienaars se kennis van die geskiedenis is ongelooflik en mens kan twee dae daar vertoef om alles te ervaar.

Alida B

Puik, vriendelik ontvang, skoon, netjies en veilig!

Sal dit beslis aanbeveel! Dit is lekker ruim verblyf met alles wat nodig is. Die pesoneel het uit hul pad gegaan om alles vir ons so aagenaam moontlik te maak in die hartjie van die winter!

We loved the uniqueness, food and company at this wonderful accommodation

We arrived here after a long drive and we were met the the very welcoming Patricia. We had a drink in the quaint bar followed by a leg stretch around the property. Dinner was a very social affair mingling with the other guests and the food was wonderful. We enjoyed a nightcap and a chat with Lexie and Grant before retiring to our very comfortable room were we slept like babies. We rounded our stay off with a delicious breakfast and were sorry to leave this unique accommodation behind.

A charming, welcoming and inspirational experience, with excellent food and service!

I had the most memorable stay at this oasis in the Karoo. Excellent standards prevail, from the linen, to the quality of food, service and the most excellent breakfast I have had in a while, as well as the most welcoming hosts. I would highly recommend Kuilfontein, not only as a stopover, but as an inspirational experience.
