Great food, shocking accommodation ─ we were cheated!

Advertised ─ a few nice pics of the outside of the farmhouse and a bath. When we got there we found ourselves in a run-down farmhouse, with old, worn linens, sagging beds, leaking plumbing, and floorboards that bent when you stood on them. The outside looks good in pictures, but in reality, the paintwork is blistered and peeling. This house and its interior need a serious revamp! We would not have paid half the price if only we knew.

Ontnugter.

Ek het Mieliefontein bespreek vir 5 mense maar toe kom 2 vriende op die laaste oomblik saam. Die akkommodasie wat ons gehad het sou genoeg wees om hulle te akkommodeer (teen 'n ekstra tarief natuurlik) maar toe beveel die verblyf aan dat ons by 'n ander plek bly "want dit sal geriefliker wees". Alles behalwe! Die ander plek behoort op sy eie geadverteer te word, want is, en het NIKS van Mieliefontein nie. Niks wat vir Mieliefontein geadverteer word geld vir die ander plek nie. Die ander plek is afgesonder, geen pragtige tuine, geen swembad (moet 'n km in die Karoo-son loop) om te kan afkoel want Karoo-somer van 39 grade is nogal warm hoor, geen waaier as jy nie vra nie, geen WiFi, geen TV, ou en ongemaklike sitkamer - glad nie gepas vir bejaardes om te kan sit en opstaan nie. Een van die toilette se spoel meganisme het nie gewerk nie, die stort dreinering was verstop - o ja, en die een stort het slegs koue water gehad. Die vorige mense se leë drankbottel en wetwipe het op die stoepmuur vir ons gelê en loer. Daar was braaigeriewe want ons moes toe self kosmaak, maar niks om die braai mee skoon te maak nie - geen borsel, geen koerantpapier, geen seep in die kombuis om dit mee te was nie - terrible! So in my opinie was slinkse advertensie en bemarking hier gebruik. Mieliefontein het gesien hulle kan 'n absoluut aaklige plek aan niks vermoedende reisigers afsmeer teen 'n prima tarief en dan hul pragtige, gerieflike akkommodasie wat maklik sal verhuur beskikbaar stel vir laaste nipper besprekings. So goeie besigheid vir hulle, maar die aakligste ervaring vir ons groep. Ek is bitterlik teleurgesteld en sal hulle nie aanbeveel nie want ek voel hulle het ons met 'n slap riem gevang.

Disillusioned.

I booked Mieliefontein for 5 people but then 2 friends came along at the last minute. The accommodation we had would be enough to accommodate them (at an extra rate of course) but then the accommodation recommended we stay at another place "because it would be more convenient". Everything but! The other place should be advertised on its own because is, and has NOTHING from Mieliefontein. Nothing advertised for Mieliefontein applies to the other location. The other place is secluded, no beautiful gardens, no swimming pool (have to walk a km in the Karoo sun) to cool off because Karoo summer of 39 degrees is quite hot, no fan if you don't ask, no WiFi , no TV, old and uncomfortable living room - not at all suitable for the elderly to be able to sit and stand up. One of the toilets' flush mechanism didn't work, the shower drain was clogged - oh yes, and the one shower only had cold water. The previous people's empty drink bottle and wet wipes were lying on the porch wall for us. There were braai facilities because we then had to cook ourselves, but nothing to clean the braai with - no brush, no newspaper, no soap in the kitchen to wash it with - terrible! So in my opinion sly advertising and marketing was used here. Mieliefontein saw they could sell an absolutely awful place to unsuspecting travelers at a premium rate and then make their beautiful, comfortable accommodation that would easily rent out available for last minute bookings. So good business for them, but the most horrible experience for our group. I am bitterly disappointed and would not recommend them as I feel they caught us off guard.

Ons het sefsorg-oornaggeriewe gesoek, met genoeg ruimte.

Die woonstel was ruim, met 'n stofie en mikrogolfoond. Twee volledige badkamers was baie gerieflik, asook die verwarmers en elektriese kombers. Ongelukkig is ons nie in kennis gestel dat beurtkrag 6 v.m. die volgende oggend sou begin nie. Ons kon dus vroegoggend niks warm maak om te drink nie. Ons sou dit waardeer het om te weet, dan kon ons 15 minute vroeër net gou 'n koffietjie gemaak het.

We were looking for sefsorg overnight facilities, with enough space.

The apartment was spacious, with a stove and microwave. Two full bathrooms were very convenient, as were the heaters and electric blanket. Unfortunately, we were not informed that load shedding was at 6 a.m. the next morning would not start. So we couldn't heat anything to drink in the early morning. We would have appreciated it to know, then we could have quickly made a coffee 15 minutes earlier.

A wonderful place to break a long journey.

We loved our stay at Mieliefontein. Out hostess and her staff couldn't have been more helpful and both dinner and breakfast were five-star - both delicious and generous. We also really enjoyed walking round the gardens - stunning even after a hard frost. Our room was very spacious, attractive and comfortable. We highly recommend staying at this delightful farm.

Karoo-gasvryheid en -genot!

Aanwysings van koördinate sal die roete na Mieliefontein vergemaklik. Vriendelike ontvangs en verwelkoming met vriendelike en effektiewe dienslewering. Die tuin is 'n lushof en het lekker geswem in die swembad. Eenheid baie ruim met oudhede en outydse meublement, maar tog kunstig en doeltreffend. Bed en beddegoed baie gemaklik. Bespreek beide aand- en ontbytetes. Wat 'n fees van heerlike boerekos! Sal weer wil oorbly en die Karoo so wil geniet.

Karoo hospitality and enjoyment!

Indications of coordinates will facilitate the route to Mieliefontein. Friendly reception and welcome with friendly and effective service delivery. The garden is a loop court and had fun swimming in the pool. Unit very spacious with antiques and old fashioned furniture, yet artful and efficient. Bed and bedding very comfortable. Book both dinner and breakfast meals. What a feast of delicious farm food! Would like to stay again and enjoy the Karoo like that.

Not a pleasant experience.

We booked the self-catering unit and when we arrived the owners' daughter had decided she wanted one of the bedrooms in the unit even though we had paid for the entire unit. We asked if she could please leave as that is not what we had paid for and she shouted at us and said that now she has nowhere to sleep. She did eventually pack up her things and leave, but it was very stressful.

Gerieflik.

Ons het Kaap toe verhuis en het dus 'n plek nodig gehad om oor te slaap. Dit was ons, my skoonouers, ons klein kinders en honde. Mieliefontein het ons baie tuis laat voel en niks was te veel moeite nie. Almal was baie vriendelik en die aandete was besonders. Ek sal Mieliefontein aanbeveel. Ons het net wel gesukkel in die donker om ons pad weer uit te vind, meer bordjies vir mense wat vroeg vertrek kan werk.

Pragtige ligging in die Karoo.

Ons het ons verblyf by Mieliefontein baie geniet, die hoogtepunt was natuurlik die pragtige tuin, braai en afkoel in die swembad. Ons sal beslis weer kom kuier.

Short but comfortable and lovely stay. Very enjoyable.

Enjoyed the flatlet which had ample space for our family. Would be nice to have a braai area closer to the flatlet. Pool was great after a long and hot drive. Garden is magnificent and beautifully green.

Fantasties en ongelooflik lekker rustig net soos wat 'n mens van die Karoo sal verwag.

Die karoo stilte het ons omgevou soos 'n kombers, sodat ons die volgende dag verfris was om na ons eindbestemming toe te gaan. Die tannie het baie moeite gedoen om vir ons 'n braaipak aanmekaar te slaan plus die lekker aartappelslaai en ook die perskeslaai. Sal graag die resepte wil hê. Die plekkie was skoon en netjies. Al wat ek sal voorstel is dat hul 'n matjie in die stort sal sit, aangesien die vloer oppervlak baie glad is.

Fantastic and incredibly nice and peaceful just as one would expect from the Karoo.

The karoo silence enveloped us like a blanket, so that the next day we were refreshed to go to our final destination. The aunt put a lot of effort into putting together a braai pack for us plus the nice potato salad and also the peach salad. Would love to have the recipes. The place was clean and tidy. All I would suggest is that they put a mat in the shower, as the floor surface is very smooth.

Pragtige gastehuis met karakter en styl, outentieke gasvryheid en die heerlikste etes.

Die kern van die gastehuis is 'n ou plaaswoning in uitmuntende toestand en stylvol gemeubileer. Dit is weg van die hoofpad, en in 'n pragtige en besonder groot tuin. Die gasvrou se etes is iets om te waardeer. Sy het vooraf geskakel om uit te vind of haar beplande kombinasie van disse ons sou geval. Die gasvryheid is uit die boonste rakke. Ten sterkste aanbeveel!

The core of the guest house is an old farmhouse in excellent condition and stylishly furnished. It is away from the main road, and in a beautiful and exceptionally large garden.

Mieliefontein was skoon en netjies. Al die baie kamers was baie gerieflik vir die groot groep wat ons was. Genoeg badkamers. Alhoewel dit yskoud was, was dit heerlik met die kaggel, verwarmers en warmkomberse op die bed.

Baie teleurgesteld.

Ek en my gesin, met honde, was baie teleurgesteld in die verblyf. Regtig goed geleë, goeie en vriendelike kommunikasie met eienaar en deurgaans vriendelik en met respek behandel. Mieliefontein se voortuin is ongelooflik mooi. Ongelukkig was ons toegedeel in die 'woonstel' wat 'n ou, stowwerige leefeenheid by die agterdeur is. Ons 'uitsig' was die agterdeur, toiletpype, hondehok, hoenderhokke, waskamer en die huishulpe wat heen-en-weer beweeg. Ou woonstel, ou meubels, ou bruin linne. Mooi badkamer. Geen afgeskorte area vir diere - moes in woonstel hou of op kort leiband. Nie soos 'voorgaste' in hoof eetkamer aandete bedien, maar in tweede kleiner 'huis' eetkamer. Regtig oulike mense, probeer baie hard en werk ongelooflik hard. Wonderlike boerekos. My probleem is die 'wanvoorstelling' of verwagting wat aanlyn geskep is, is nie wat ons gekry het nie. Soos tweederangse gaste gevoel. Ongelukkig.

Very disappointed.

My family and I, with dogs, were very disappointed in the accommodation. Really well located, good and friendly communication with owner and treated with respect throughout. Mieliefontein's front garden is unbelievably beautiful. Unfortunately we were put in the "apartment" which is an old, dusty unit by the back door. Our "view" was the back door, toilet pipes, doghouses, chicken coops, laundry room and the maids moving all over. Old apartment, old furniture, old brown linen. Beautiful bathroom. No partitions for a separate area for the animals - had to keep them in the apartment of on short leash. No dinner served in main dining room, but in second smaller "house" dining room. Really nice people, tries very hard and works very hard. Wonderful "boerekos". My problem is the wrong impression that is created online, something that we didn't get. Felt like second-rate guests. Unfortunately.

The best hospitality in the Karoo.

Ian, (I think that was his name) was the most humble, hospitable and gracious host I have ever come across. Whilst his wife cooks in the kitchen he quietly charms his guests and make sure they are comfortable. I wish I could clone him. The guest house is wonderful. It felt like I was transported back in time as the interior is dated, lending this establishment an old world charm. The gardens are exquisite! I can highly recommend Mieliefontein.

Suid-Afrikaanse gasvryheid!

Ons is hartlik ontvang deur die Ferreiras op Mieliefontein naby Hannover. Ons het Duitse gaste, wat naby Hanover in Duitsland bly, gebring om hier in Suid Afrika se Hanover te kom oornag. Ons is net jammer ons het so laat op die plaas aangekom, maar die heerlike aandete het opgemaak vir die heeldag se ry in die motor. Ons het heerlik op die plaas geslaap, wat vir hulle 'n wonderlike ervaring was. Ons was toe weer uitgerus vir die res van ons rit. Ons het in die selfsorgwoonstel geslaap en kon dus lekker vroeg vertrek nadat ons gou self ontbyt gemaak het. Mev. Ferreira het ons vooraf gebel om te hoor of ons aandete wil bespreek en ook duidelike padaanwysings gegee, wat baie gehelp het om die plaas maklik gekry. Baie dankie vir goeie diens. Ons sal Mieliefontein aanbeveel om te oornag in die Karoo.

South African hospitality!

We were warmly received by the Ferreiras at Mieliefontein near Hannover. We brought German guests, who live near Hanover in Germany, to stay overnight here in South Africa's Hanover. We're just sorry we arrived at the farm so late, but the delicious dinner made up for the whole day's drive in the car. We had a wonderful sleep on the farm, which was a wonderful experience for them. We were then rested again for the rest of our ride. We slept in the self-catering apartment and were therefore able to leave early after making breakfast ourselves. Mrs. Ferreira called us in advance to see if we wanted to book dinner and also gave clear road directions, which helped a lot to find the farm easily. Thank you very much for good service. We would recommend Mieliefontein to spend the night in the Karoo.

Was goed.

Ons het met honde gereis en daar was 'n fout met bespreking. Die hondvriendelike kamers was vol. Verder geen klagtes. As jy met diere reis maak seker jy kontak hulle kort voor jou aankoms om seker te maak jy is korrek ingeboek in een van hul hondvriendelike kamers. Heerlike aandete gehad, maar het te vroeg gery vir ontbyt. Baie beslis aan te beveel: doen jouself 'n guns en eet daar. Mooi ligging. Effens van hoofpad af en sit so 20 km by jou reisafstand. Word sterk aanbeveel. Lekker swembad en koue bier of koeldrank beskikbaar.

Was good.

We were traveling with dogs and there was an error with booking. The dog friendly rooms were full. Other than that, no complaints. If you are traveling with animals make sure you contact them shortly before your arrival to make sure you are correctly checked into one of their dog friendly rooms. Had a delicious dinner, but drove too early for breakfast. Highly recommended: do yourself a favor and eat there. Nice location. Slightly off the main road and about 20 km from your travel distance. Highly recommended. Nice swimming pool and cold beer or soft drinks available.

Wonderlike oornagplek.

Die oornagstop by Mieliefontein op reis na Kaapstad saam met my gesin was wonderlik. Gasvrye mense en heerlike kos. Definitief 'n goeie plek om te bly.

Ons het by Mieliefontein oornag op pad terug na Gauteng, na ons vakansie in die Kaap.

Ons was baie vriendelik ontvang en was aangenaam verras oor die netjiese, koel kamer met oorgenoeg spasie. Die pragtige tuin en swembad was 'n heerlike bederf. Die 3-gang aandete was fantasties. Ek het Mieliefontein alreeds by vriende en familie aanbeveel!

We spent the night at Mieliefontein on our way back to Gauteng, after our holiday in the Cape.

We were received very kindly and were pleasantly surprised by the neat, cool room with ample space. The beautiful garden and swimming pool were a wonderful treat. The 3 course dinner was fantastic. I have already recommended Mieliefontein to friends and family!

Uitstekende diens. Vriendelike eienaars. Puik aandete en lekker geselskap.

Die eienaars het selfs 'n addisionele kamer vir ons gegee sonder dat ons dit versoek het. Hulle het ook my kar se wiel omgeruil nadat iets die wiel gesny het. Puik boere-gasvryheid.

Excellent service. Friendly owners. Great dinner and great company.

The owners even gave us an additional room without us requesting it. They also changed my car's wheel after something cut the wheel. Great farmer hospitality.

Fantastiese diens en pragtige atmosfeer op die plaas, weg van die geraas van dorpe en stede met blaffende honde en motors wat toet!

Ek reis baie en Mieliefontein is definitief een van die bestes. Die gasvryheid is ongelooflik asook die kos.

Rus en vrede.

Ons het op 'n vorige reis by Mieliefontein oornag en besluit om hierdie jaar 'n paar dae daar deur te bring. Die vrede van die omgewing en die vriendelikheid en behulpsaamheid van die mense was werklik merkwaardig en ons sal dit definitief aanbeveel vir enige reisiger wat moeg is vir die stad.

Rest and peace.

We spent the night at Mieliefontein on a previous trip and decided to spend a few days there this year. The peace of the environment and the friendliness and helpfulness of the people was truly remarkable and we would definitely recommend it to any traveler who is tired of the city.
