Salig, rustig, lekker.

Baie lekker. Beter as op die fotos. Die kos is amazing en die mense baie vriendelik. Ons het die lekkerste speletjies daar gekry en gespeel. Tyd het gevlieg. Vat kaas en koop die plaasbrood .

Vriendelik en so skoon en rustig.

Baie skoon en netjies. Die gasvryheid was uitstekend. Die brood, garlic broodjies en beet slaai was van die boonste gehalte. Sal beslis weer daar gaan kuier.

Ons het 'n lekke tyd gehad in die gehuurde karavaan.

Ons het een van die karavane gehuur om bietjie 'n ruskans te vat op die pad tussen die Kaap en Gauteng. Ons het 'n ware kampervaring gehad met reënige, koue weer, maar daar was darem genoeg warm komberse en ons het warm en droog geslaap. Die karavaan en badkamers is netjies en stylvol ingerig. Linmarie het haar bes gedoen om ons te akkommodeer en het selfs 'n kamp kot vir ons baba opgeslaan. Ons het voor die reën een van staproetes op die plaas gedoen en ons dogtertjie het die swaai vreeslik geniet. Linmarie het ook ons dogtertjie genooi om te kyk hoe die plaasdiere gevoer word, maar dit het ongelukkig uitgereën. Een voorstel wat ons dalk sou maak, is om iewers in die karavaan 'n mikrogolfoond in te sit. Dit sou baie help met kosmaak. Verder was die kombuisie goed ingerig met alles wat ons nodig gehad het.

We had a great time in the rented caravan.

We hired one of the caravans to take a break on the road between the Cape and Gauteng. We had a real camping experience with rainy, cold weather, but at least there were enough warm blankets and we slept warm and dry. The caravan and bathrooms are neatly and stylishly furnished. Linmarie did her best to accommodate us and even set up a camp cot for our baby. We did one of the hiking trails on the farm before the rain and our little girl really enjoyed the swing. Linmarie also invited our little girl to watch the farm animals being fed, but unfortunately it rained. One suggestion we might make is to put a microwave somewhere in the caravan. It would help a lot with cooking. Furthermore, the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed.

Besonders netjies met vars gebakte plaasbrood.

Heerlike oornagplekkie. Gasvryheid straal in die netjiese verblyf uit. Die besonderse natuurskoon is iets uit die boonste rakke. Kinders het dit geniet om die diere kos te gee en rond te speel. Die sterre is soos 'n kombers oor jou in die nag. Die vars gebakte plaasbrood was 'n hengse bederf. Ek sal vir seker aanbeveel. Dit bied 'n bietjie iets anders en heeltemal bekostigbaar.

Especially neat with freshly baked farm bread.

Lovely place to stay the night. Hospitality radiates in the neat accommodation. The exceptional natural beauty is something from the top shelf. Children enjoyed feeding the animals and playing around. The stars are like a blanket over you at night. The freshly baked farm bread was a real treat. I would recommend for sure. It offers a little something different and completely affordable.

Rustic but comfortable. Ablutions very clean. Will happily stay there again.

The stay in a caravan was pleasantly comfortable and clean. The children were very excited to spend a night in a caravan. We enjoyed the homemade garlic rolls with our lamb chops at dinner, and warm bread in the morning - very tasty! Would have been even better if it came with some plunger coffee!

Rustig.

Was 'n baie lekker stop vir ons. Alles was in plek en dit was iets nuuts vir die kinders. Linmarie was baie behulpsaam en het selfs vir ons vleis en hout gereël vir 'n lekker braai. Linmarie het die kinders genooi om te help om die diere kos te gee en die kinders het dit so baie geniet. Dit was 'n baie lekker tyd vir ons gewees en sal weer teruggaan.

Clean, modern and peaceful! Linmarie goes out of her way to make sure your stay is 100% perfection!

The caravan stay feels more like a boutique hotel than a usual campsite caravan setup - really upping the "glamp" experience with soft towels, modern linen and good stock of cutlery and plateware. Really happy to have plastic cups, plates and bowls for the kiddies as well! We only stayed over as a midstop from Cape Town to Johannesburg but wished we had more time to spend there as it has great open space for the kiddies to play with great views of the Karoo landscape and the expanse of the stars at night is just breathtaking. The caravan is privately positioned away from the tent campsites which is very nice! The shower's water pressure is perfect, you have a great view out the window whilst showering, and the gas geyser works as expected. The water pressure at the actual caravan (see kitchenette in pics) is low as it seems the water pump doesn't turn on when opening the tap - I'm sure this will be sorted by the owners - but it's perfect for getting the hands clean whilst braaing and cleaning a single item if needed. There is a washing station by the ablutions with proper pressure for the bulk of your dishes. The fridge inside the caravan is not working and the owners are aware and will likely be fixed soon. They did accommodate us with a camping fridge which does the same thing so they really will go out of their way to make sure all your needs are met.

Doodstil omgewing.

Die huis is privaat en afgeleë, goed toegerus, skoon en reukloos. Daar is 'n baie groot onderdakbraai en kuierarea wat nie op die foto's aangedui word nie. 8km van die 10km grondpad tussen die R389 en die N1 was in ’n goeie kondisie (Aug 2021). Stilte was waarna ons op soek was en dit is presies wat ons gekry het.

Quiet was what we were looking for and that's exactly what we got.

Ons het baie rustig en veilig in die Karoo gevoel met sy stilte en die kalmte wat net die ooptes kan bring. Die blesbokke en perde wat ons kom groet het 'n paar treë voor die agterdeur was iets ekstra. Plekkie was gemaklik, skoon en baie billik geprys.

Feel accommodation is not up to standard compared to the price in high season, and as the accommodation in our opinion showed more than 10 shortcomings..

We list the deficiencies we found below. 1) 2 light bulbs short in the keef area light - couldn't see the oven settings etc. 2) Microwave short - will help for time saving and convenience. 3) Moths "pest" eg outside lights and front door light - consequently indoors - no insecticide, Tabaard or citronella candles. 4) Paraffin lamp on kitchen table - could not find any matches in the unit. 5) Water pressure/plumbing problem at kitchen sink and bathroom - Weak cold water pressure but strong hot water pressure 6) Replace shower head - only 14 thin fine jets from the head of which only one person's face hits at a time 7) Regarding security - (e.g. in light of the farm murders etc in SA) - no burglar bars on doors or windows 8) Ground level bedroom door does not fit in frame - cannot close or lock and a sizeable hole in one front door panel. 9) There was a hole in the double bed sheet 10) No guest soaps in the bathroom - after a search we did find one in a cupboard. 11) Living room furniture does not match the price - they look tired and dusty and are covered with throws 12) It was difficult to find the farm after dark because the signboard cannot be easily seen at night. We don't drive with a GPS. No one accompanied us to the guest house and we had to decide for ourselves which gate to open. We are of the opinion that the place is not worth the price of R1400 per night. Therefore, since we had the above-mentioned shortfalls, and because due to an unforeseen family crisis we only spent the night there with 2 people, we kindly request that you consider a possible 'token'/gesture as compensation to pay us back . On the positive side, we would like to mention that the layout of the unit was effective, the bedrooms and bathroom were neat and clean, and the hostess was friendly and welcoming even though we arrived quite late.

Neat and clean.

The place was neat and clean, but the bugs and spiders were quite bad. We were kindly received and felt at home. The place is far enough from the main road that you can't hear the sound, but close enough that it's not too far out of your way.
