Rustig en stil en na genoeg aan Ladysmith as jy iets nodig het.

Desmond, die bestuurder, is baie gaaf en behulpsaam. Jy kan nie op die plaas rondry nie, maar dis baie lekker om te gaan stap en daar is mooi wild. Die plaas is 10 minute se ry van Ladysmith af. As jy op soek is na stilte en in die Karoo, is dit 'n goeie plek om te oornag.

Peaceful and quiet and close enough to Ladysmith if you need anything.

Desmond, the manager, is very nice and helpful. You cannot drive around the farm, but it is very nice to go for a walk and there is beautiful wildlife. The farm is a 10 minute drive from Ladysmith. If you are looking for silence and in the Karoo, this is a good place to spend the night.

Potential 5 stars, at this stage 2.

The terrain and landscape are stunning, the place was spotlessly clean, and the crew are super efficient and helpful. But, be aware there is no easy water access to cool off. The beautiful dam shown on the website is not near the cottage, nor is the access to the river pools easy. It involves driving and then walking through prickly plants. The cottage itself is quite cute, but the stoop is facing water tanks, fences, and building rubble. Essentially, the veranda is facing the wrong way. On the other side of the house, there is a breathtaking view. This cottage could easily achieve 5 stars if there were seating on the other side of the house, a walkway to the river, a few plants, and somewhere to lounge around outside. Inside the cottage, everything works, including hot water, etc., and there is the most amazing stove in the kitchen. The fridge is not sufficient for more than two people, never mind six. We booked for three nights, but left after two.

Rus & vrede maar mis swembad.

Warm verwelkoming en gerieflike huis. Die swembad is ongelukkig by die eienaar se huis wat ongeveer 1.5 km ver is. Die stort se warm water is nie konstant nie en weens 'n oop stort raak alles nat en daar was geen badmatjie vir gebruik nie. Geen roosterstaander en braaipan was beskikbaar nie en ongelukkig was daar ook geen waaiers vir as die hitte bietjie gepla het nie. Die rus en vrede en warmte en behulpsaamheid van die plaasbestuurder en sy vrou het egter opgemaak vir die bietjie ongerief.

Rest & peace but miss pool.

Warm welcome and comfortable home. The swimming pool is unfortunately at the owner's house which is about 1.5 km away. The shower's hot water is not constant and due to an open shower everything gets wet and there was no bath mat to use. No grill stand and braai pan were available and unfortunately there were also no fans for if the heat bothered you a bit. However, the peace and quiet and warmth and helpfulness of the farm manager and his wife made up for the slight inconvenience.

'n Karoo kuier, net ons in die middel van nerens - my idee van 'n wonderlike tyd.

Behalwe die feit dat ons nie warm water gehad het nie, en koud moes stort, was dit 'n wonderlike plek.

A Karoo visit, just us in the middle of nowhere - my idea of a great time.

Apart from the fact that we had no hot water, and had to take a cold shower, it was a great place.
