Rustig en genotvol.

Die verblyf was heerlik, stil en mooi. Die grondpad was ook nie te sleg nie.

Peaceful and enjoyable.

The accommodation was lovely, quiet and beautiful. The dirt road wasn't too bad either.

Ons derde ongelooflike kuier daar!

Elke besoek aan die Theron's se plaas bring ander nuwe opwindende verrassings! Ons was hierdie keer begroet met die mooiste verskeidenheid veldblomme en was so gelukkig om 'n lepelaar, koper-eende en 'n reier by die dam te gewaar! Die skape en lammers (wat soos stout kinders in 'n groep heen en weer hardloop) het ons vermaak. Ons het soos die vorige kere net 'n aand daar oorgebly oppad na 'n "bucket list" bestemming, hierdie keer Ouberg Pas. Dit was hartseer om Saterdag oggend te vertrek en besef dat 'n paar dae noodsaaklik is. Ons is binnekort weer terug. Baie dankie vir alles Tossie! Ons waardeer julle so baie!

Our third incredible visit there!

Each visit to the Theron's farm brings new exciting surprises! This time we were greeted with the most beautiful array of wildflowers and were so lucky to spot a spoonbill, copper ducks and a heron by the pond! The sheep and lambs (running back and forth in a group like naughty children) entertained us. Like the previous times, we only stayed one night on our way to a "bucket list" destination, this time Ouberg Pass. It was sad to leave on Saturday morning and realize that a few days are essential. We will be back again soon. Thank you very much for everything Tossie! We appreciate you so much!

Ongelooflike lekker ervaring gewees.

Sterboom was vir ons gesin van vier 'n belewenis en is baie goed toegerus vir die koue. Ons is Saterdag bederf met sneeu en so kon ons gesin heerlik saam in die sneeu speel. Kan regtig Sterboom aanbeveel. Baie dankie!

Stilte en pragtige sterre.

Beslis die wegbreek wat ons nodig gehad het, die stillte en asemrowende sterbeligte aande en gasvryheid van die eienaars was van top gehalte. Bring net genoeg hout om jou kaggel of kampvuur aan die gang te hou in die koue winteraande. Sal beslis weer soontoe gaan in die somer gedurende donker maan.

Silence and beautiful stars.

Definitely the break we needed, the silence and breathtaking starlit evenings and hospitality from the owners was top quality. Bring just enough wood to keep your fireplace or campfire going in the cold winter evenings. Will definitely go there again in summer during dark moon.

Uitstekend!

Tossie en Dawid het ons hartlik verwelkom en voor ons aankoms op hoogte gehou aangaande die toestand van die paaie in die area. Ons was aangenaam verras met die pragtige omgewing en ruim akkommodasie. Die kaggel het die leefarea gou verwarm en die binne-braai was goed benut. Sonder twyfel die beste plek om die sterrehemel te geniet. Na die wit sprokieswêreld wat ons die volgende oggend gegroet het, was ons net te dankbaar vir die warm stort. Dankie weer, Tossie en Dawid, ons is binnekort weer terug.

Outstanding!

Tossie and Dawid welcomed us warmly and kept us informed about the condition of the roads in the area before our arrival. We were pleasantly surprised with the beautiful surroundings and spacious accommodation. The fireplace soon warmed the living area and the indoor braai was put to good use. Without doubt the best place to enjoy the starry sky. After the white fairytale world that greeted us the next morning, we were only too grateful for the hot shower. Thanks again, Tossie and Dawid, we will be back soon.

Baie lekker gekuier en die stilte waardeer.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier in die hart van die winter. Daar is oor genoeg komberse op die beddens om gemaklik en warm te slaap. Pak gerus genoeg hout in of bestel by die eienaars sodat die kaggel konstant kan loop. Die huisie was baie netjies en skoon en die warm water is meer as voldoende gewees om te verblyf te geniet.

Besonderse plek.

Bel vooraf om te verseker dat daar nie 'n dubbele bespreking gemaak is nie, kry dit op skrif. Ons het dit vreeslik geniet. Die huis was baie skoon en netjies. As jy weg van die stad se geraas en ligbesoedeling wil wees om sterre te geniet is hierdie perfek. Ons eerste nag het ons selfs vergeet om die deur te sluit met die sleutel aan die buitekant van die deur.

Call ahead to ensure a double booking has not been made, get it in writing. We really enjoyed it. The house was very clean and tidy.

Goeie familietyd saam deur gebring.

Ons kinders het die plaasnaweek ongelooflik baie geniet en veral in die aande wanner hulle die mooi sterre kon sien. Die eienaar van die gastehuis het beslis 'n ware ster van 'n gastehuis en ons as gesin gaan beslis weer daar gaan kuier.

An interesting adventure off the main route, lovely and remote.

The host, Tossie, and her son were exceptionally helpful in getting us set up for the evening after arriving late, really appreciate it and baking our pie in her own oven as the place had no oven. Using the microwave was however a problem as it kept on crashing the solar system, obviously not built to take the impact of an appliance like a microwave, the system would go down and have to reboot before WiFi and other plugs became available again.

Lovely, warm cottage just outside Sutherland! Very safe, peaceful and quiet.

The dirt road to the guest house is longer and a bit unexpected. No need for a 4x4 but difficult to drive at night after stargazing. The cottage was well-equipped with everything we needed, blankets, wood, cooking utensils etc. The location was beautiful and the stars were amazing! Thank you for a lovely time!

Gesellige, sonderlinge verblyf.

Ek het verwag dat ons verblyf afgeleë sou wees. Ek dink die foto som dit baie goed op. Wat ek nie besef het nie is net presies hoe afgeleë dit is. Dit het nie enigsins my ondervinding van die verblyf verander nie in teen deel dit het bygedra tot die eie aardigheid van die gastehuis. Dit het egter ons planne vir ons aankoms en roete vir die volgende dag beïnvloed. Die gastehuis is op Google Maps verkeerdelik aangedui en ons het by Sutherland begraafplaas op geëindig (ons het dit op Google Maps gerapporteer). Ons kon darem almal die humor hierin sien en het net ons planne aangepas en eers na die S.A.L.T-teleskoop gegaan en toe na die gastehuis. Die gastehuis was baie verder van die dorp as verwag en die roete wat ons beplan het. Dit is vreeslik koud - wat ons verwag het - maar presies hoe koud kan mens jouself net nie behoorlik voor voorberei nie. Die gastehuis is gesellig, fraai en rustiek. Die groot braai is absoluut broodnodig vir hitte en as jy nie jou eie hout gebring het nie kan jy gerus twee sakke hout by die eienaars koop. Onthou jou eie blits! Ons het vergeet om in die dorp te koop, maar het darem die koerante opgespoor om die vuur mee te begin. Daar is vuurhoutjies wat ook vir die gasstoof en kerse gebruik word. Die nuwe kaggel wat ons kon sien ingesit gaan word gaan baie welkom wees vir toekomstige wintergaste. Die gastehuis het sonkrag so daar is krag, maar geen selfoon-opvangs nie, alhoewel die WiFi dit moontlik gemaak het om ons naaste ingelig te hou. Die kerslig is so gepas vir die huis en ons het verkies om dit te gebruik, veral met die sonkrag ingedagte. Daar is heerlike warm water in die badkamer en kombuis, genoeg kombuisware en 'n lieflike yskas. Daar was water in bottels gestoor wat ons vermoed is omdat die water in die pype kan vries a.g.v. die koue. 'n Mens moet regtig jou warmste warmklere saambring, want daar is 'n trek deur die huis as die wind waai wat die bitter koue in nooi. Ons het dit kamp geslaan deur die badkamer en kamerdeure toe te maak. Daar is snoesige komberse op die beddens om die koue hok te slaan wat ons baie dankbaar voor was. As ek 'n wenslysie kon maak sou ek beslis 'n verwarmingspan (warming pans) uit toeka se dae wou hê om die bed bietjie op te warm en die koue te verdryf. Ons het gesellig gekuier in die kombuis/leefarea en het met goeie herinneringe weggestap.

It did not change my experience of the stay in any way, on the contrary it added to the niceness of the guest house. However, this affected our plans for our arrival and route for the next day. The guest house was wrongly indicated on Google Maps and we ended up at Sutherland Cemetery (we reported this on Google Maps). At least we could all see the humor in this and just adjusted our plans and went first to the S.A.L.T telescope and then to the guest house. The guest house was much further from the town than expected and the route we had planned. It's terribly cold - which we expected - but exactly how cold you just can't properly prepare yourself for. The guest house is cosy, beautiful and rustic. The large braai is absolutely essential for heat and if you haven't brought your own wood you can buy two bags of wood from the owners. Remember your own flash! We forgot to buy in town, but at least we tracked down the newspapers to start the fire with. There are matches that are also used for the gas stove and candles. The new fireplace that we could see being put in will be very welcome for future winter guests. The guest house is solar powered so there is power, but no cell phone reception, although the WiFi made it possible to keep our neighbors informed. The candlelight is so appropriate for the house and we chose to use it, especially with the solar power in mind. There is delicious hot water in the bathroom and kitchen, enough kitchenware and a lovely fridge. There was water stored in bottles which we suspect is because the water in the pipes can freeze due to the cold One really has to bring your warmest warm clothes, because there is a draft through the house when the wind blows, inviting the bitter cold. We camped it out by closing the bathroom and bedroom doors. There are cuddly blankets on the beds to ward off the cold which we were very grateful for. If I could make a wish list I would definitely want a heating pan (warming pans) from Toeka's days to warm up the bed a bit and drive away the cold. We had a cozy time in the kitchen/living area and walked away with good memories.

Sterboom Self-catering Cottage 's response

Lizette baie dankie vir boodskap. Wil ook net graag die volgende noem. Afgelee is Sterboom beslis nie alhoewel dit baie privaat is en nie ander mense naby is nie. Sterboom is slegs 15km vanaf teerpad, ongeveer 10min se ry. Het hul ingelig oor eie Blitz vir vuur en die bottels water is suiwer water soos wat jy in winkel koop. Sommige gaste verkies suiwer water en ek gooi in my ketel om aanpak van kalk te voorkom. Die feit dat daar nie selfoon sein is nie, kan ek ongelukkig nie voor help nie. Wifi maak dit moontlik om met almal te korrespondeer. Dankie vir die goeie gradering.

Mooi en gerieflik.

Baie aangename blyplek as jy net wil kom ontspan en geniet van die omgewing en pragtige sterrehemel. Die huis was silwerskoon en alles het gewerk. Sonkrag was voldoende vir ligte en selfoon laaiers ens.

Dit was interessant.

Die aanwysings was goed en ons het die plekkie maklik gevind. Dit moet egter erns genoteer word dat daar nie elektrisiteit/kragproppe is nie. Daar is wel kamerligte wat werk (via sonkrag vermoed ons) en die geiser (gas verhit) was lekker vir die stort. Dit was wel ongerieflik om te dink ons kan selfone laai, ketel kook of hare droog blaas en toe ons daar kom eers uit vind daar is nie sulke geriewe nie. Die eienaar was baie behulpsaam. Sy het ons voor die tyd in gelig rakende selfoonsein wat sleg is en ook vir ons voor die tyd oop gesluit om sodoende tyd te spaar op pad na ons vriende se troue. Die bedagsaamheid word baie waardeer.

It was interesting.

The directions were good and we found the place easily. However, it must be seriously noted that there is no electricity/power plugs. There are room lights that work (via solar power we suspect) and the geyser (gas heated) was nice for the shower. It was indeed inconvenient to think that we could charge mobile phones, boil the kettle or blow dry our hair and when we got there only to find out that there are no such facilities. The owner was very helpful. She informed us ahead of time about mobile phone signal being bad and also opened for us ahead of time to save time on the way to our friends wedding. The thoughtfulness is much appreciated.

Lovely break away - value for money.

The accomm was a bit far off the road. However, I was very neat and tidy. If I had to have 1 complaint, was that there was wood for a fire, but no paper or firelighters. There were also no towels. We went to Sutherland and bought. Otherwise, very nice... but take warm clothes!
