Skoeneuitskop oornag, tussen die Kaap en Pretoria.

Ons het heerlik oorgebly by die Farmers Cottage. Die huisie is ruim, netjies en 'n lieflike aria as jy met hondekinders reis. Ons het dadelik welkom gevoel na die vriendelike ontvangs.

Kick off overnight, between the Cape and Pretoria.

We had a lovely stay at the Farmers Cottage. The house is spacious, tidy and a lovely aria if you are traveling with dog children. We immediately felt welcome after the friendly reception.

Het heerlik uitgerus na lang pad.

Baie lekker gebly. Mooie huisie! Baie rustig en stil. Skoon, netjies en goed toegerus. Veilige werf vir honde. Met aankoms was egter ek effe onseker. My aanbeveling sal wees om aan die ontvangs en eerste indrukke aandag te skenk.

More Corna,
Baie dankie vir jou positiewe terugvoer asook jou aanbeveling vir 'n beter ontvangs.

Ons is tans besig met 'n paar veranderinge wat sal insluit 'n ontvangskantoor en beter aanwysings.

Die pad na ons Karoo Pandok kry ook tans aandag na al die welkome reen wat ons in Desember gehad het.

Hoop ons kan spoedig weer in die toekoms van julle 'n kuier verwag.

Vriendelike groete,

Dog friendly, relaxing, neat cottage and private garden.

Great place to chill, especially with dogs. Enclosed area for them to run around and explore lets you worry less. Neatly kept garden area and cottage. Aircon wasn't cooling things down, but otherwise a comfortable space. Good bed, gas stove. Road in was a little rural, but only for a couple hundred meters. Will probably stay over again.

Loved our overnight stay after a long day of driving.

The Farmers Cottage has everything one needs for a self-catering stay. Our Border Collie loved the cows in the field next door, and we were at complete ease as the entire large yard is fenced in. Some feedback to improve the stay would be the addition of 2 comfy outside camping chairs for around the braai at night, or to relax in during the day, or even to provide cushions for the wire set of chairs that are available.

Bo Karoo vrede.

Die lieflike kothuis is geleë in 'n rustige deel van Bethulie. Dit was silwerskoon en baie netjies. Ons is vriendelik ontvang en vinnig gehelp. Ons het lekker afgekoel in die hoofhuis se swembad na 'n lang dag op die pad. Die perfekte plek om te oornag, veral as jy die agterpaaie wil verken en die besige N1 wil vermy. 'n Kiekie op die lang Bethulie-brug is 'n "moet"!

Above Karoo peace.

The lovely cottage is located in a quiet part of Bethulie. It was spotless and very tidy. We were received kindly and helped quickly. We cooled off in the main house's swimming pool after a long day on the road. The perfect place to stay overnight, especially if you want to explore the back roads and avoid the busy N1. A snap on the long Bethulie Bridge is a "must"!

Beautiful setting and lovely garden for dogs.

A lovely stopover en route from Gauteng to the Cape. We loved the time in the garden watching the horses visit the fence and all that space for the dogs to unwind. The garden is fenced and good for medium to big dogs but smaller pups will probably be able to easily get out. We all really enjoyed our stay.

Louise was very friendly and welcoming.

Decorations are very authentic and interesting. The lounge furniture is very wobbly and we were scared to sit on it. The house is very cold and not comfortable. Don't use aircons due to tinnitus. Bought wet wood from Louise and when requesting other wood Louise asked my husband to fetch it. After a debate she delivered it with her car.

Was ’n lekker oornagplekkie. Alles is skoon en netjies. Plekkie is omhein maar verkieslik vir groot honde. Ons klein hondjies kon deur die draad gaan. Dit sal die enigste negatiewe wees. Maar sal vir seker weer oornag daar.

Loved every moment at The Farmers Cottage.

If you are looking for froufrou and luxury, carry on driving to Bloemfontein and good luck. However, if you are looking for a charming, comfortable and quiet place where you can relax, switch your brain off and have your pet travel companions run around to get rid of their pent up energy after a long drive, this cottage is perfect. It is clean, spacious and and very well equipped with everything you need. We loved making a fire outside whilst chatting on the big verandah till late at night. Louise is a great hostess - welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. We stayed for 2 days and could easily have stayed for another 2 or more if we didn't need to get home. Will definitely be back again next year and every time we need to drive back from Cape Town to Pretoria.

Sien sterre.

Eienaars met kleiner avontuurlustige honde moet weet die omheining is van so aard dat jou viervoetige vriende maklik die pad kan vat en gaan verken/ontsnap as jy nie `n ogie oor hulle hou nie. Groter honde is veilig in die erf. Dit is jammer die lugversorging het nie gewerk nie, want dit was regtig baie warm. Die alternatiewe “mobiele lugversorger” het nie die mas opgekom vir die hele huisie nie.

See stars.

Owners with smaller adventurous dogs should know that the enclosure is of such a nature that your four-legged friends can easily take the road and explore/escape if you are not keeping an eye on them. Larger dogs are safe in the yard. It's a shame the air conditioning didn't work because it was really, really hot. The alternative "mobile air conditioner" didn't work for the whole house.

Just what I was looking for.

A quiet place with all amenities and a place where my dogs can run free, within a fenced area. I unfortunately left some of my things there and they were more than willing to assist me in returning it to me. Within 2 days somebody dropped my stuff off in my hometown, and I will forever be thankful to my host. Thanks once again! Worthwhile spending some time there.

Net waarvoor ek gesoek het.

'n Rustige plek met alle geriewe en 'n plek waar my honde vry kan rondhardloop in 'n omheinde area. Ek het ongelukkig 'n paar van my goed daar vergeet en hulle was meer as bereid om my te help om dit aan my terug te besorg. Binne 2 dae het iemand my goed in my tuisdorp afgelaai, en ek sal my gasheer vir altyd dankbaar wees. Nogmaals dankie! Die moeite werd om tyd daar deur te bring.

Salig, rustig en ontspanne.

Die eienaar het ons soos konings hanteer, ten spyte van swak reëlings aan ons kant, was sy meer as bereid om te help en het alle verwagtinge oorskry. Die woning self was ongelooflik netjies en lekker toegerus vir 'n rustige kuier!

Blissful, peaceful and relaxed.

The owner treated us like royalty, despite poor arrangements on our part, she was more than willing to help and exceeded all expectations. The house itself was incredibly neat and nicely equipped for a peaceful visit!

A quaint little cottage, perfect for pet stays.

The only negatives, with regards to this accommodation is the quality of pillows and the bed being a bit creaky. More than one toilet roll needs to be supplied. Perfect for travelers with pets, decor is quirky and there is a lovely garden.

Dit voel dan soos tuiskom.

Karoo Pandok se Farmers Cottage is beslis een van die plekke waarna ons keer op keer terug kom. Al was ons hoe ver hiervan, maak ons altyd 'n draai in die begin van ons vakansie, of as 'n laaste stop op pad huis toe. Die huisie is goed uiteengelê en is ver genoeg van ander wonings af om regtig privaat te wees. Louise, die gasvrou, is altyd vriendelik en hulpvaardig en opreg bly om ons te sien. Skoon, netjies en veilig, en natuurlik ver genoeg van alles dat jy weet jy kry 'n behoorlike ruskansie. Bethulie en sy mense lê na aan die hart en Farmers Cottage is 'n gunsteling destinasie.

It then feels like coming home.

Karoo Pandok's Farmers Cottage is definitely one of the places we come back to again and again. No matter how far we were from here, we always make a stop at the beginning of our holiday, or as a last stop on the way home. The cottage is well laid out and is far enough away from other dwellings to be really private. Louise, the hostess, is always friendly and helpful and genuinely happy to see us. Clean, tidy and safe, and of course far enough away from everything that you know you're getting a proper rest. Bethulie and its people are close to the heart and Farmers Cottage is a favorite destination.

Rustige en netjiese verblyf in 'n plaasatmosfeer.

Na 'n lang reis vanaf Kaapstad het die netjiese cottage op 'n plot aan die buitewyke van Bethuli 'n lafenis gebied. Baie dankie Louisa vir jou moeite. Interessante interieur.

Pragtig en gerieflik, solank jy in die somer gaan.

Ons het laatmiddag daar aangekom en Louise het ons hartlik verwelkom en alles gewys. Die plekkie is regtig pragtig en baie mooi ingerig. Dit is egter vreeslik koud en 'n mens moet brandhout teen R30/sak aankoop. Ons het toe twee sakke bestel wat afgelewer is saam met vuurhoutjies en 'n piepklein stukkie 'firelighter'. Daar was geen klein stokkies of iets om die vuur aan te help nie en dis toe gou dood. As dit nie vir die elektriese kombers op die bed was nie, het ons sekerlik verkluim. Ek dink egter in die somer sal dit heerlik wees om daar te bly en op die lekker stoepie te kuier. Ek sou aanbeveel dat die eienaars vir reisigers 'n vuurtjie aanpak as 'n vergunning. Dit sal die wêreld se verskil maak.

Beautiful and comfortable, as long as you go in the summer.

We arrived there in the late afternoon and Louise warmly welcomed us and showed us everything. The place is really beautiful and very nicely decorated. However, it is terribly cold and one has to buy firewood at R30/bag. We then ordered two bags which were delivered with matches and a tiny piece of 'firelighter'. There were no small sticks or anything to help the fire and it soon died. If it hadn't been for the electric blanket on the bed, we would surely have caught cold. However, I think in the summer it would be lovely to stay there and hang out on the nice patio. I would recommend that the owners start a fire for travelers as a courtesy. It will make the world of difference.

'n Lekker wegbreek vir twee mense.

Ons het die Donderdag laatmiddag gearriveer en Louise het ons ontvang met 'n groot glimlag. Diens en toganklikheid tot ons gasvrou was deurentyd baie goed. The huisie is toegerus met meeste noodsaaklikhede vir selfsorg en is redelik toeganklik vanaf die hoofroete deur die dorp. Die paaie in die dorp is oor die algemeen nie in 'n goeie toestand nie, maar ek kon wel sonder te veel moeite met 'n sedan motor oral beweeg. Vat muskietgoed saam en indien jy vol fiemies is oor kos, veral vars vleis en groente, neem jou eie kos voorraad saam. So nie, gaan probeer die plaaslike eetplekke waarvan daar maar min is.

A nice getaway for two people.

We arrived on the Thursday late afternoon and Louise received us with a big smile. Service and courtesy to our hostess was always very good. The cottage is equipped with most essentials for self-catering and is fairly accessible from the main route through town. The roads in town are generally not in good condition, but I was able to get around without too much trouble in a sedan car. Take mosquito nets with you and if you are fussy about food, especially fresh meat and vegetables, take your own food supply with you. If not, try the local eateries of which there are few.

Beste ‘stop-over’.

Alles was perfek! Diens, ligging, fasiliteite en netheid was top. Dit is min dat ons 'n plek kry wat al die ‘boxes tick’. En perfek vir ons Ridgebacks wat saam ons toer! Ons sal vir seker weer hier oorslaap op pad Oos-Kaap toe!

Besonderse kothuis met 'n wonderlike gasvrou!

Ons kon nie fout vind met die akkommodasie nie! Die troeteldiervriendelike kothuis is ten volle omhein en ons hond kon vry hardloop en lekker bal speel op die erf. Die kothuis is netjies, skoon en die dekor is uniek aan die plaasomgewing waar die kothuis geleë is. Ons het baie lekker gebly.
