Stil en rustig.

Ons het die verblyf baie waardeer. Ons het gekamp (in die reën). Badkamers is skoon en netjies. Pragtige swembad en baie speelplek vir die kinders.

Gemiddeld.

Plek het onderhoud dringend nodig. Aandete prys is buitensporig vir wat jy kry. As jy na 'n ou plek wil gaan kyk - boustyl, maar word nie onderhou nie.

Average.

Place urgently needs maintenance. Dinner price is excessive for what you get. If you want to look at an old place - architectural style, but not maintained.

Baie rustige Karooplaas. Die gastehuis is oud, maar netjies en pas goed by die omgewing.

Basiese geriewe is daar en die atmosfeer is baie lekker en rustig. Miskien nie vir hoipoloi-mense nie.

We required an overnight stay in the area and I've long wanted to stay at Melton Wold.

We found the place needed a bit of TLC but liked the fact it was very different to modern hotels. We met and chatted to great people in the pub and the food was good. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and the small game drive. We will visit again.

'n Heerlike rustige kuier in die Karoo. Hierdie is 'n werklike oase en een groot plesier.

'n Kampplek om aan te beveel. Ruimte, heerlike gras, lekker koelte en 'n juweeltjie om te ontdek. Hier kan rustigheid in die lewe weer gevind word. Ete by gastehuis baie lekker maar miskien so bietjie hoog geprys,.

Melton Wold is 'n pragtige outydse gastehuis op 'n pragtige afgeleë plek. Met 'n puik diensverlening van hartike en behulpsame mense.

Vir wie rus soek in die wonderlike natuur van Suid-Afrika, ver van die bewoonde wereld, en 'n goeie akkommodasie is Melton Wold, iewers tussen Loxton en Victoria-West, 'n uitgelese plek daarvoor. Die gastehuis is oud en vol geskiedenis, maar die versorging is eietyds en puik.

The guest house is old and full of history, but the care is contemporary and excellent.

Rustige, uitstekende plaasatmosfeer.

Eerstens om 'n 5ster te gee vir ligging kan vir sommiges misleidend wees, ons het met opset 'n draai gery om hier te kon oornag. Ons was nie spyt nie. Ouwêreldse atmosfeer, vriendelike ontvangs en bederf met goeie geriewe en heerlike aandete wat ons vooraf bespreek het. Dit is byna ondenkbaar dat daar jare gelede al soveel aktiwiteite plaasgevind het op hierdie geskiedkundige plaas. Dankbaar dat die eienaars steeds instandhou en deel.

Peaceful, excellent farm atmosphere.

First of all giving a 5 star for location can be misleading for some, we deliberately drove around to be able to spend the night here. We were not sorry. Old-world atmosphere, friendly reception and pampering with good facilities and a delicious dinner that we booked in advance. It is almost unimaginable that so many activities took place years ago on this historic farm. Grateful that the owners continue to maintain and share.

Unieke ondervinding.

Die interessante geskiedenis en ou wêreldse atmosfeer is 'n gans ander belewenis. Ons was die enigste besoekers wat daar geëet het, so dit was 'n bietjie stil. Musiek in die eetsaal sal help vir 'n beter atmosfeer. Aangesien daar geen ander restaurant is nie en selfsorg nie 'n opsie is nie, sal dit goed wees as hulle tariewe vir die etes aangedui word. Personeel is vriendelik en bekwaam.

Unique experience.

The interesting history and old world atmosphere is a completely different experience. We were the only visitors eating there, so it was a bit quiet. Music in the dining hall will help for a better atmosphere. As there is no other restaurant and self-catering is not an option, it would be good if their rates for the meals are indicated. Staff are friendly and competent.

Lots of old world charm, comfortable and attractive.

This guest house has been around since 1935 and exudes the charm of bygone eras while including the luxuries us modern travellers have come to expect. The gardens and old buildings are lovingly maintained and the members of staff are friendly and welcoming. There are lots of activities to keep you and your family busy (and not lolling in your room in from of the TV), amongst others, a bowling green, trampoline, a reading room, a quaint pub with a pool table, walks (watch out for the grass mosquitoes) and drives in the scenic surrounds. The food is tasty and the portions substantial.

Heerlik, rustig, ontspannend.

Alhoewel 'n paar kilometer vanaf die hoofpad was dit weereens 'n wonderlike ervaring. Die rustigheid van die plaaslewe, ruim slaapvertrekke en geboue, skoon lug en pragtige Karoo-omgewing maak hierdie definitief dat ek dit weer sal gebruik. Vriendelike mense en kos was heerlik, asook om die berg te gaan klim met die klein kinders. Hierdie heerlike uitstappie is definitief nie bedoel vir persone wat met alles wil fout vind nie (spreekwoord : vat dit soos dit is).

Lovely, quiet, relaxing.

Although a few kilometers from the main road, it was once again a wonderful experience. The tranquillity of the farm life, spacious sleeping quarters and buildings, clean air and beautiful Karoo surroundings make this I definitely want to use it again. Friendly people and food were delicious, as well as going up the mountain with the little kids. This wonderful outing is definitely not meant for people who want to find fault with everything (proverb: take it as it is).

Lekker gebly. Was die enigste gas vir die laaste twee aande. Vriendelike personeel.

Melton Wold is 'n unieke plek in die middel van die Karoo. As 'n kind van die Karoo is ek altyd baie tuis by sulke plekke. Vir almal wat die Karoo lief het, soos ek, is Melton Wold beslis 'n plek om te besoek!

Nice stay. Was the only guest for the last two nights. Friendly staff.

Melton Wold is a unique place in the middle of the Karoo. As a child of the Karoo, I am always very much at home in such places. For anyone who loves the Karoo, like me, Melton Wold is definitely a place to visit!

Baie lekker en gemaklik.

Ons was baie goed ontvang. Die gasheer en -vrou het selfs vir ons die kroeg oopgemaak om die Currie-bekerfinaal te kyk alhoewel ons gekamp het. Kampterrein en geriewe skoon, netjies en veilig. Swembad kort bietjie aandag. Het pragtige wildsbokke te siene gekry. Ook besoek ontvang van 'n skilpad en emu. Sal definitief aanbeveel.

We were very well received. The host and wife even opened the bar for us to watch the Currie Cup final even though we were camping. Campsite and facilities clean, tidy and safe. Pool needs some attention. Saw beautiful antelopes. Also received a visit from a turtle and emu. Will definitely recommend.

Heerlike rustige Karooplaas-verblyf met uitstekende kos en vriendelike diens.

Vir 'n wegkom uit die bedrywige stad is hierdie 'n definitiewe keuse. Dit is stil, baie donker in die nag en die sterre is ongelooflik. Ons het heerlik gebly, wonderlike boerekos geniet en die beddegoed en handdoeke is van die sagste en luukste. Die persoonlike aandag van die personeel was uitsonderlik.

Lovely peaceful Karooplaas accommodation with excellent food and friendly service.

For a getaway from the bustling city, this is a definite choice. It is quiet, very dark at night and the stars are incredible. We stayed wonderfully, enjoyed wonderful farm food and the bedding and towels are some of the softest and most luxurious. The personal attention of the staff was exceptional.

Oase in die middle van die Karoo, sonder twyfel die ekstra 40 km se ry werd!

Voorwaar ‘n oase: van groothartige gasvryheid, heerlik tradisionele kos aangebied met diep waarde van sorgvuldige aandag wat voel of dit diep lê in die amper 200 jaar tradisie van verwelkomende verblyf aanbied! Die vroegoggend swem in die helder blou, die amper-so-oud swembad omring deur tamarisk, voëlsang en pou roep was net wat my siel en gees nodig gehad het. Verdere lavenis! Baie dankie, Ronel en julle spanne!

Oasis in the middle of the Karoo, without a doubt worth the extra 40 km drive!

Truly an oasis: of generous hospitality, delicious traditional food offered with deep value of careful attention that feels like it lies deep in the almost 200 year tradition of offering welcoming accommodation! The early morning swim in the clear blue, the almost-as-old pool surrounded by tamarisk, birdsong and peacock call was just what my soul and spirit needed. Further avalanche! Thank you very much, Ronel and your teams!

Old world charm, transports you back in time.

Melton Wold holds a very special place in our hearts as our family used to spend their December holidays there in the 50's and 60's. Although there are modern amenities available now, the old world charm still shines through. What a peaceful, memorable stay.

Rustig, skoon, veilig en pret vir die kinders. Geen TV of selfoon - kan werklik afskakel en herlaai!

'n Plek waar jy ouwêreldse geskiedenis, rustigheid en gerief geniet. Die kamers is skoon, baie vir die kinders om te doen, lekker lees en ontspan in die koelte van pragtige bome of op die stoep. Lekker groot swembad.

Gemaklike verblyf en 'n baie ontspannende atmosfeer.

Dit was 'n bucket list wens van my om terug te gaan na Melton Wold - ek het daar vakansie gehou saam met my ouers in 1972. Die plek is presies dieselfde met sy outydse sjarme en rustige atmosfeer. Die perde is ongelukkig nie meer daar nie maar ons het lekker in die Karoo-veld gestap. Baie dankie vir die heerlike Kersaand-sitbraai - dit was uit die boeke!

It was a bucket list wish of mine to go back to Melton Wold - I holidayed there with my parents in 1972. The place is exactly the same with its old fashioned charm and peaceful atmosphere. Unfortunately, the horses are no longer there, but we had a nice walk in the Karoo field. Thank you very much for the delicious Christmas Eve sit-down braai - it was out of the books!
