A sweet step back into the past, warm and lovely hosts.

Lovely river walks, crisp air, dog-friendly. Good for the soul. Electric blankets and winter linen made it a perfect getaway for those looking for a country escape that is food for the soul. Looking forward to snow hunting in the future.

Pragtige, netjiese huisie met so mooi geskiedenis.

Heerlik gekuier in die kombuis met die binnebraai, koue aand maar ons was heerlik warm. Pragtige huis en heerlik op die plaas gestap.

Beautiful, neat house with such a beautiful history.

Lovely time in the kitchen with the indoor braai, cold evening but we were wonderfully warm. Beautiful house and lovely walk on the farm.

Ideale plek om jou batterye te herlaai.

Ons het lekker gespeel, gestap, gebraai, gesels, geslaap en gelees. En sterre gekyk van die stoep af. Ouma Jossie se huis is volledig toegerus en die "krag-komberse" (soos ons 6-jarige dit genoem het) was 'n wenner in die koue aande.

Ideal place to recharge your batteries.

We had fun playing, walking, grilling, talking, sleeping and reading. And watched stars from the porch. Grandma Jossie's house is fully equipped and the "power blankets" (as our 6-year-old called them) were a winner in the cold evenings.

Heerlike plaaskuiertjie, waarde vir geld.

Ons het 'n heerlike kuiertjie gehad by Ouma Jossie se Huis met 'n regte ou plaashuis wat jou baie tuis laat voel, die kombuis is enige man en vrou se droom met 'n braai en kookgeriewe, groot tafel en rusbank als in die een vertrek dit is maar waar mens meeste van jou tyd spandeer saam met die familie, die huis laat mens verlang na jou eie ouma se huis, ons sal beslis weer gaan kuier. 10/10 vir Ouma Jossie se Huis.

Lovely farm visit, value for money.

We had a lovely visit at Ouma Jossie's House with a real old farmhouse that makes you feel very much at home, the kitchen is any man and woman's dream with a braai and cooking facilities, large table and couch all in one room it's just where you spend most of your time with the family, the house makes you long for your own grandmother's house, we will definitely visit again. 10/10 for Grandma Jossie's House.

Exactly what I needed - tranquility. Excellent, warm hearted hosts.

Stepping back in time - what a special home. The most exquisite starry skies, tranquility, the wind in the trees - it's a different beauty.

An authentic Karoo farmhouse.

If you are looking for an authentic Karoo farm experience that is off the beaten track, then this is for you. Crisjan was an excellent host and Aubrey was fantastic with showing the kids around the farm. We were 2 families and there was ample space for all of us. Accommodation was comfortable and very cosy. The best part of the house is the kitchen and the indoor braai. The stargazing was also amazing. The road to the farm is gravel so be prepared to drive slowly!

Was 'n heerlike wegbreek op die plaas.

Die grondpad na Ouma Jossie se Huis is baie sleg en ek sal nie aanbeveel om met 'n gewone kar daardie pad te ry nie. Ons het heerlik gebly en die plaaslewe baie geniet. Ons was 3 gesinne met 2 klein kinders en die huis het nie 'n bad vir kinders nie, so dit het net bietjie gelol, maar verder heerlik.

Was a lovely break on the farm.

The dirt road to Ouma Jossie's House is very bad and I would not recommend driving that road with an ordinary car. We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed the farm life. We were 3 families with 2 small children and the house does not have a bath for children, so it was just a little funny, but otherwise lovely.

Dit was soos om in 'n vervloë era in te stap.

Ons is hartlik ontvang en tuis laat voel met klein detail in Ouma Jossie se Huis. Daar was selfs spesiaal vir ons 'n klein kersboompie opgesit. Die juweel van 'n plekkie is 'n lewende museum. Ons het ure spandeer net om kosbaarhede oral in die huisie vir mekaar te wys en foto's te neem. Ons was 'n familie-groep van drie egpare, 'n losloper en twee klein kindertjies. Dis 'n wonderlike huis om soveel mense te akkomodeer. Ons het agter op die stoepie gebraai (met hout wat vir ons aangedra is! Baie dankie.) en Kersaand onder die helder sterrehemel deurgebring. Baie dankie vir julle gasvryheid. Ons harte gaan uit na die julle in hierdie erge droogte.

It was like stepping into a bygone era.

We were warmly received and made to feel at home with small details in Ouma Jossie's House. There was even a small Christmas tree put up especially for us. The jewel of a place is a living museum. We spent hours just showing each other treasures all over the house and taking pictures. We were a family group of three couples, a single person and two small children. It's a great house to accommodate so many people. We barbecued on the back porch (with wood brought in for us! Thank you very much.) and spent Christmas Eve under the clear starry sky. Thank you very much for your hospitality. Our hearts go out to you in this severe drought.

Rustig, heerlike stilte.

Ons was 'n groep vriende van 6. Het die rustigheid en stilte terdeë geniet. Die braai in die kombuis is beslis 'n wenner. Die beddens het almal elektriese komberse en dus het ons heerlik warm geslaap in die koue, hartjie van die winter. Marguerite en Crisjan het ons dadelik welkom laat voel en hulle gasvryheid is besonders. Ons het Saterdagoggend deur die hele dorp gestap, geen lawaai van voertuie nie. Dit was so lekker om uit die stad uit te kom al was dit net vir 'n naweek. Die sterrekyk by SALT was uiters teleurstellend. Ek sal eerder die plekke in die dorp aanbeveel alhoewel ons nie daar was nie, maar het gehoor dis baie beter en meer waarde vir geld. Opsommend kan ek net sê ons het die naweek geniet! Baie dankie.

Peaceful, glorious silence.

We were a group of 6 friends. Thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet. The braai in the kitchen is definitely a winner. The beds all have electric blankets and so we slept wonderfully warm in the cold, heart of winter. Marguerite and Crisjan immediately made us feel welcome and their hospitality is exceptional. We walked through the whole town on Saturday morning, no noise from vehicles. It was so nice to get out of the city even if it was just for a weekend. The stargazing at SALT was extremely disappointing. I would rather recommend the places in town although we haven't been there but heard it's much better and more value for money. In summary, I can only say that we enjoyed the weekend! Thank you very much.

Ongelooflik - 'n ware juweel!

Soveel stories in elke vertrek en soveel detail, liefde en moeite! Die kamers is heerlik ingerig vir families. Die kombuis met die vuurherd het so baie bygedra tot ure se kuiers. Oom Krisjan dankie vir jou moeite met die kinders om al die lammetjies te voer en jou stories waarna ons so lekker geluister het. Dit was die heel beste manier om weer ons batterye te laai en memories te maak! Ons kom beslis terug!

Unbelievable - a true gem!

So many stories in every room and so much detail, love and effort! The rooms are wonderfully appointed for families. The kitchen with the fireplace were just perfect for long chats until the wee hours. Krisjan, thanks for al your effort with the kids and to feed all the little lambs and all the stories. It was the best way to recharge and make memories! We'll definitely be back!

Alles wat jy nodig het en nog meer.

Ideale selfsorghuis met al die items wat nodig is. Baie plek om te stap of jy kan net ontspan en die mooi omgewing inneem. Sutherland is net om die draai en ek sal aanbeveel mens besoek Sterland op 'n wolklose aand.

Karoo gasvryheid bly maar net altyd iets besonders.

Die Jordaans van Ouma Jossie het ons met die intrapslag soos familie laat voel. Daar is min dinge so lekker soos regte Karoo gasvryheid, 'n karoo vuurtjie in die donker nag onder 'n sterrehemel, die rustigheid van 'n besonderse plaas, karoo-tjoppie, plaashuis met 'n regte plaaskombuis en so kan ek nog vele meer noem. Ons kan Ouma Jossie definitief aanbeveel.

Karoo hospitality always remains something special.

The Jordaans of Ouma Jossie made us feel like family as soon as we stepped in. There are few things as nice as real Karoo hospitality, a little Karoo fire in the dark night under a starry sky, the tranquility of a special farm, Karoo choppie, farm house with a real farm kitchen and so I can name many more . We can definitely recommend Ouma Jossie.

Baie lekker stil plek, Margeruite en Chrisjan baie gasvry.

Ons het 2 nagte oorgeslaap en sterre gaan kyk. As jy van stadsgewoel wil wegkom is dit die plek: geen selfoonsein, TV of selfs radio nie. Ons sal definitief weer gaan.
