Well positioned, relaxing stopover with beautifully appointed rooms.

The room was beautifully appointed and the farm itself is tranquil and well positioned for an overnight stop. One improvement I would suggest is to have a small fridge in the room. Travellers will often have water or other refreshments that they want for their trip and being able to refrigerate these at night is useful.

Alles was baie netjies en skoon, en ons is baie vriendelik ontvang. Die badkamer is ook baie gerieflik en groot! Neem asb. net kennis dat daar geen yskas in ons kamer was nie, wat ek egter sterk sal aanbeveel! Aandete was uit die boeke lekker!

Gasvrye, vriendelike, pragtige verblyf!

New Holme het dadelik soos huis gevoel. Die gasheer het ons hartlik ontvang en ons het heerlike geselskappe met hom en die personeel geniet. Hulle het ons spesiaal opgegradeer na die pragtige houthuis, sodat ons gemaklik kon werk, met goeie WiFi. Die aandete en ontbyt was van uitstekende gehalte. Die pragtige lodge het soveel om te bied en ons sal dit hoogs aanbeveel!

The beautiful lodge has so much to offer and we would highly recommend it!

Ek het die oorslaap geniet. Die kamer was ruim en die voetjie bad was 'n belewenis. Die stilte in die oggend met net voëltjie tjirp was so rustig. Die aandete en ontbyt was vyfster.

Heerlike rusplek tussen Midrand en die Kaap.

Ons het twee nagte oorgebly by New Holme in Desember 2022 op pad vanaf Kagga Kamma terug na Midrand. Pragtige rustige omgewing. Heerlike etes en goeie diens. Hoogs aan te beveel vir oorbly of selfs 'n paar dae afpak.

'n Lewensverrykende ervaring.

Dit wat by New Holme Nature Lodge gebeur in vennootskap met afgetrede akademisie, stel 'n voorbeeld vir ieder en elk van ons, hoe ons ons mooi land vanaf voetsoolvlak kan omdraai ten goede. Edu-toerisme, eko-toerisme en vele meer voorbeelde van wat gedoen kan word, strek die eienaars tot eer.

What is happening at New Holme Nature Lodge in partnership with retired academics sets an example for each and every one of us, how we can turn our beautiful country around for the better from the grassroots level.

The food was wonderful, and the hosts were welcoming, however, the bathroom in the main bedroom had a perpetual poo smell. Whatever we did, we could not get rid of the smell. I would recommend placing an extraction fan in that bathroom.

Good overnight stay.

We stayed in the self catering log cabin. It's good as an option for overnight stay but I wouldn't stay longer than 1 night. We had bats in our roof and could hear them all night, probably hard to keep them out. Also a very strong smell in the one kitchen cupboard that stores the glasses. So didn't use the glassware. The air con in the lounge didn't work but they did work in the bedrooms which was a great relief. However I would actually go back there and still recommend as it's a great location, beautiful scenery, lovely pool and access to the restaurant and bar.

Oase in die middel van die Karoo. Die ligging is fantasties en, alhoewel ons slegs oorgebly het vanaf die Kaap kan ons dit definitief aanbeveel vir 'n vakansiebestemming.

Pragtige, ruim en smaakvol gemeubileerde kamers. Het aandete bespreek en kos was fantasties. New Holme is deel van die Karoo Gariep Private Conservancy en bied soveel meer as net 'n oornag bestemming. Vir natuurliefhebbers en mense wat net wil wegkom en rustigheid soek is hierdie defnitief 'n langer besoek die moeite werd.

For nature lovers and people who just want to get away and seek tranquility, this is definitely worth a longer visit.

Die eerste oornag het ons in die lodge geëet - die kos was absoluut 5-ster en heerlik. Die tweede oornag op pad huis toe was dit 'n braai op die koppie, baie basies maar kos en uitsig was "great".

Lovely place and well located, but needs polishing.

The rooms are tired and need re-modelling. One of our rooms also smelt like cat pee. The owners were very busy preparing the food for the evening (which was delicious) and although willing to assist with anything we wanted they had to be sought out on the premises which was a bit awkward.

New Holme Nature Lodge 's response

Hi Michael,
Thanks for this , we will make sure in what room you were and look at the smell. With half our annual rain in one week and 4 trees throwing down huge branches in this storms we are a bit behind with the garden. Though very thankful for the rain. We also jumped form a 30 guest lodge to a 55 guest lodge in 2020 and all gardens , grass and overall look is not 100%. Sorry for this but please test us in 8 months time again. We just had 1654 guest from 1 Dec to 14 Jan ( the best ever) we are broken and will take a 2 week break.
Thanks for keeping us on out toes, we appreciate.

Ons het net een aand oor geslaap. Die kos was heerlik - regte plaaskos asook 'n baie keurige voorgereg. Dis 'n geval van die kos is heerlik en die buffet het 'n groot verskeidenheid - te veel om van alles te proe. Daar was een of ander probleem met werknemers, want dit lyk of die familie self moes inspring om almal te help. Die diens was egter steeds goed. Ons het 'n heerlike voëlkykrit saam met PC gehad - met 'n hele paar "lifers". Ons sal graag wil teruggaan vir die ander spesiale voëls wat ons die keer gemis het.

Goeie oorslaapkeuse tussen die Kaap en Gauteng.

'n Groen-oase in die Karoo met lieflike huisvesting en vriendelike en interessante gasheer en -vrou. Die aanbieding van die etes, nie by prys ingesluit nie, is masterchef-gehalte. En vir die birders is daar heelwat specials om te sien.

Eg Afrikaanse gasvryheid

Indien u op soek is na eg Suid-Afrikaanse gasvryheid is hierdie net die regte plek. Met die aankoms voel mens sommer tuis en die besoek het met elke uur net beter geraak. Van 'n seekoeitoer tot die driegangmaaltyd wat voorgesit is kan mens regtig nie vir beter vra nie. Die eienaars gaan uit hul pad om jou verblyf so gerieflik as moontlik te maak. Julle sal ons sommer gou weer sien.

It was wonderful to meet Piet and his family and to learn about his family history, the environment and what they are doing to bring changes to the area.

We had a really wonderful time. It was far more interesting than we expected - the family are involved in bringing hippos back to the area after they disappeared more than 200 years ago and it was fascinating to hear the story.

Unieke oorslaapgeleentheid.

Lieflike werkende plaas, gerieflike akkommodasie (houthuis). Daar was egter geen skottelgoedseep of lappe en vadoeke beskikbaar nie. Paar vlekke op beddegoed. Het dit egter baie geniet en het groot waardering vir die eienaars en hulle hele aanslag met die reservaat en teelprogram.

Rustigheid en gasvryheid in die Karoo.

Ons het in Stoffel Rus geslaap, die houthuis was gerieflik met alles wat mens nodig het. Ons was met gasvryheid ontvang, en het dadelik tuis gevoel. Dit was iets anders om die elande op die plaas van naby te kon sien, dit het ‘n rustige atmosfeer geskep. Die verblyf sou wel meer ideaal gewees het as die houthuis sy eie braaigeriewe gehad het.

Tranquility and hospitality in the Karoo.

We slept in Stoffel Rus, the log house was comfortable with everything you need. We were received with hospitality, and immediately felt at home. It was something else to be able to see the moose on the farm up close, it created a peaceful atmosphere. The accommodation would have been more ideal if the wooden house had its own braai facilities.

Heerlik rustig, stil en naby aan die natuur. Kos uit die boonste rakke - erg Karoo! Gasvryheid soos net in die Karoo te wagte kan wees!

Was eers onseker of die afdraai die regte een was, maar gelukkig na 1 km was daar nog 'n bordjie wat wys New Holm 7 km. Ek is met ope arms ontvang en sedertdien het die tyd net te vinnig verby gevlieg. Het nie die seekoeie kon vind nie maar die voëllewe by die rivier het opgemaak daarvoor. Annemie, jy is voorwaar 'n bobaas kok! Hoop om weer die voorreg te hê eendag nadat dit gereën het, daar te kan tuis gaan. Voorspoed.

Wonderfully peaceful, quiet and close to nature. Top shelf food - very Karoo! Hospitality as can only be expected in the Karoo!

Was unsure at first if the turning was the right one, but luckily after 1 km there was another sign showing New Holm 7 km. I was welcomed with open arms and since then the time just flew by too fast. Couldn't find the manatees but the bird life by the river made up for it. Annemie, you are truly a master cook! Hope to have the privilege again one day after it rains, to be able to go home there.

Lekker Karoo gastehuis.

Ons het nege jaar gelede die eerste keer hier oornag, en dit is nog steeds 'n lekker ervaring. 'n Egte Karoo gastehuis. Dis doodstil in die nag, en die helemruim is vol sterre. PC (eienaar) het ons ontvang en Mariska is die chef. Die kos is baie goed en die eetsaal is tipies Karoo styl. Hanover is in die middel tussen Gauteng en Kaapstad, en is dus uitstekend geleë vir 'n oornagstop. PC neem sy gaste om na die seekoeie te kyk, voëls te kyk of 'n nagrit.

Nice Karoo guesthouse.

We stayed here for the first time 9 years ago and it was a nice experience again. A true Karoo guesthouse. It is very quiet at night and the sky is full of stars. PC (owner) received us and Mariska was the chef. The food is very good and the dining hall is typical Karoo-style. Hanover is in the middle between Gauteng and Cape Town and it is ideally situated for an overnight stop. PC takes his guests to look at the hippos and birds or on a game drive.

'n Juweel van 'n plek.

Heerlike, gerieflike kamers met mooi meubels, 'n lekker swembad en fantastiese aandete in die middel van nêrens. Die dek vir sterrekyk is ook fantasties. Die aanwysings na die plek kan 'n bietjie duideliker gestel word - die afdraai is op linkerkant, 25 km op die N1 vanaf Hanover na Colesberg. Dan ry 'n mens nog 8 km op 'n goeie grondpad na die plaas.

Wonderlik, sielsverkwikkend. Kan dit regtig aanbeveel.

Ons het ons nag in die Karoo Gariep Conservancy baie geniet. Die seekoeie was ongelukkig bietjie skaam en het net so paar keer vir ons geloer. Die buffet-braai met voorgereg, hoofgereg en nagereg was heerlik en ons het omtrent gesmul. Dan was daar die pragtige sonsondergang wat mens van die uitkykdakkie kon geniet en die swembad om in af te koel. Die plek het regtig karakter met 'n baie vriendelike gasvrou en gasheer. Die sterre in die Karoo-donkernag is só helder en voel so naby dit voel of jy 'n sterretjie kan pluk. Ons het ook verskietende sterre gesien. Die Melkweg was die mooiste mooiste mooi. Vir ontbyt 'n vinnige koffie en beskuit saam met mak tarentale, 'n lammetjie gestreel en 'n kalfie gesien bokspring van pure lewensvreugde in die vroegoggend varsheid van die Karoo. Dit was regtig 'n ondervinding wat ek lank sal onthou. Die enigste nadeel is die grondpad wat mens moet ry om daar uit te kom, maar volgens my is dit wel die moeite werd.

Wonderful, soul-invigorating. Can really recommend it.

We really enjoyed our night in the Karoo Gariep Conservancy. The hippos were unfortunately a bit shy and only peeked at us a few times. The buffet barbecue with starter, main course and dessert was delicious and we pretty much feasted. Then there was the beautiful sunset that one could enjoy from the observation deck and the swimming pool to cool off in. The place really has character with a very friendly hostess and host. The stars in the Karoo dark night are so bright and feel so close it feels like you could pick a star. We also saw shooting stars. The Milky Way was the most beautiful beautiful. For breakfast a quick coffee and rusks together with tame guinea fowl tongues, petting a lamb and seeing a calf jump from sheer joy of life in the early morning freshness of the Karoo. It was really an experience that I will remember for a long time. The only downside is the dirt road you have to drive to get there, but in my opinion it is well worth it.

Fantasties!

Behalwe vir die een lugversorger wat nie gewerk het nie, was dit 'n baie aangename plek om te oornag. Kos was uit die boonste rakke. Mens het veilig gevoel. Sal Karoo Gariep Conservancy enige tyd aanbeveel.

Apart from the one air conditioner that didn't work, it was a very pleasant place to spend the night. Food was top notch. One felt safe. Would recommend Karoo Gariep Conservancy anytime.

Wonderkike ervaring.

Ons het 'n wonderlike oornag by hulle gehad. Ons kinders veral was mal oor die hanslam en die honde wat daar rondloop. Jy skakel voorwaar af en dit neem jou terug in tyd toe ek nog 'n kind was. Ek sal dit werklik aanbeveel om daar te oornag. Ons sal beslis weer!

Amazing experience.

We had a wonderful overnight stay with them. Our children especially loved the hanslam and the dogs that run around there. You really switch off and it takes you back in time to when I was a kid. I would really recommend staying the night there. We will definitely be back!

'n Oase waar ons nooit weer verby sal ry nie!

Dit was so heerlik om na 'n lang dag op die pad so gasvry ontvang te word. Ons was in die houthuis (selfsorg-eenheid). Alles wat mens nodig het was daar. Aandete in die restaurant was prima, maar die vriendelike ontvangs kry die eerste prys!

It was so lovely to be received so hospitably after a long day on the road. We were in the log house (self-catering unit). Everything you need was there. Dinner in the restaurant was fine, but the friendly reception gets the first prize!

Heerlike oornag-ervaring op pragtige plaas.

'n Wonderlike oorslaapolek met net stilte en pragtige landskap. Die aandete en ontbyt is heerlike Karoo kos. Lekker winterslakens met elektriese kombers op n goeie matras vir die koue Karoo nagte. Ons het heerlik ontspan en baie lekker geslaap. Baie beïndruk met die omgewingbewaringsprojek op die plaas.

Great overnight experience on a beautiful farm.

A wonderful overnight stop with only silence and beautiful scenery. The dinner and breakfast are delicious Karoo food. Nice winter sheets with an electric blanket on a good mattress for the cold Karoo nights. We relaxed wonderfully and slept very well. Very impressed with the environmental conservation project on the farm.

Uitstekende oorstopplek op pad Kaap toe.

Die kinders het die oornag baie geniet. Lekker geswem, geëet en geslaap. Baie vriendelike ontvangs en 'n lekker rustige atmosfeer. Regtig aan te beveel as jy uit Johannesburg/Pretoria of Noorde op pad Kaap toe is en 'n bietjie wil rus. Ek dink ook dit kan 'n baie lekker vir langer vakansies wees, veral as die jong kinders hou van buite op 'n plaas speel.

Excellent stopover on the way to the Cape.

The children really enjoyed the overnight stay. Nicely swam, ate and slept. Very friendly reception and a nice peaceful atmosphere. Really recommended if you are heading to the Cape from Johannesburg/Pretoria or the North and want to rest a bit. I also think it could be very nice for longer holidays, especially if the young children like to play outside on a farm.
