Lekker private verblyf in 'n stil area op 'n plaas.

Ideaal om Oudtshoorn en die omgewing te verken. Lekker huis, maar dinge wat gepla het was vlieë (verstaanbaar, want naby aan diere) asook 'n braaidrom wat vol as was en roosters wat erg geroes het. Gelukkig kon ek my eie roosters gebruik.

Nice private accommodation in a quiet area on a farm.

Ideal for exploring Oudtshoorn and the surrounding area. Nice house, but things that bothered me were flies (understandable, because close to animals) as well as a braai drum that was full of ash and grills that were badly rusted. Fortunately, I was able to use my own grills.

Grootste bederf, teen 'n fantastiese prys!

Ongelooflik om wakker te word met die natuur om jou. Elke kamer was so netjies en gemaklik. Plaas atmosfeer met al die moderne eienskappe om dit 'n onvergeetlike rusplek te maak. Ons moes na 'n troue toe gaan, maar het ekstra vroeg huis toe gekom sodat ons die rustigheid van die plaas kon geniet. Wakker geword met springbokkies en wildebeeste op ons voorstoep en 'n hadeda wat bad in die rivier. Ons gaan beslis 'n lang naweek weer gaan en hierdie keer vriende en familie saam nooi. Oom Stan en sy vrou is behulpsaam en baie vriendelik.

Biggest treat, at a fantastic price!

Unbelievable to wake up with nature around you. Every room was so neat and comfortable. Place atmosphere with all the modern features to make it an unforgettable resting place. We had to go to a wedding, but came home extra early so we could enjoy the tranquility of the farm. Woke up to spring goats and wildebeest on our front porch and a hadeda bathing in the river. We will definitely go again for a long weekend and this time invite friends and family along. Uncle Stan and his wife are helpful and very friendly.

Perfekte wegbreek.

Die Welgeluk kothuis is die perfekte verblyf - heerlik rustig op die plaas. Baie spasie, alles wat mens nodig het. Was baie bly vir die warm komberse op die beddens want kamers is aan die koue kant (dit was wel winter in die Karoo!), en daar was 'n heerlike groot kaggel in die sitkamer. Lugversorgers in al die kamers vir die somer. Nog 'n bonus is dat hulle nie geaffekteer word deur beurtkrag nie. Ons hoop om gou weer daar te kan kuier!

Perfect getaway.

The Welgeluk cottage is the perfect accommodation - wonderfully peaceful on the farm. Lots of space, everything you need. Was very happy for the warm blankets on the beds because rooms are on the cold side (it was indeed winter in the Karoo!), and there was a lovely big fireplace in the living room. Air conditioners in all rooms for the summer. Another bonus is that they are not affected by load shedding. We hope to be able to visit there again soon!

Relaxing, very comfortable getaway on the farm in a lovely cottage.

This is a very nice cottage, well equipped and furnished tastefully. The hosts and their family all made us feel welcome on arrival and at all times. Thank you, it was much appreciated. We were able to go where we wanted to on the farm and explore at our leisure. The kudu and the springbok were a delight to watch from inside and outside the cottage.

Dit was 'n baie goeie ondervinding, een wat ek graag sal wil herhaal.

Die verblyf was onverbeterlik in 'n baie goed toegeruste cottage. Die beddens slaap heerlik en die badkamers is 'n droom. Daar word baie aandag gegee aan die kleinste detail om 'n gerieflike verblyf te verseker. Stan en sy seun se vriendelike hulpvaardigheid dra ook by tot die goeie ervaring. Die koedoes wat mens kom groet wanneer jy by die venster uitkyk, is 'n aangename bonus!

The accommodation was unbeatable in a very well-equipped cottage. The beds are lovely and the bathrooms are a dream. Attention is paid to the smallest detail to ensure a comfortable stay.

Stunning cottage and excellent hospitality.

We were very impressed with the cottage. It was spotless, homely and comfortable and the farm was everything we expected it to be. The owner, Ryan catered for our every need and went out of his way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Ryan is genuine, honest and thoughtful and our family took an instant liking to him. We will definitely recommend Welgeluk to our family and friends.

Dit was 'n wonderlike ervaring!

Ons was skrikkerig om by 'n plaas oor te slaap, maar ek wou hê die kinders moet 'n volstruis-ervaring beleef. Dit was so veilig, wat 'n awesome plek. Ryan het ons baie tuis laat voel, wat 'n great jong man. Ons sien uit om weer te gaan. Hierdie keer vir langer. Ek kan nie wag om die oorspronklike volstruispaleis: Welgeluk 1910 te sien nadat dit omskep gaan word in 'n gastehuis nie.

We were scared to sleep over at a farm, but I wanted the kids to have an ostrich experience. It was so safe, what an awesome place. Ryan made us feel very much at home, what a great young man. We look forward to going again. This time for longer. I can't wait to see the original Ostrich Palace: Welgeluk 1910 after it will be converted into a guest house.

Pragtige klein details en uitstekende diens.

Ek en my gesin het vir 2 aande by Welgeluk Cottage gebly - enigste probleem was dat dit te kort was! Ryan en Melissa het uit hulle pad uit gegaan om dit vir ons gerieflik te maak. Die huisie absoluut pragtig en hulle het gedink aan alles. Ryan was gaaf genoeg om elke oggend en aand my kinders toe te laat om hom te help om die lammertjies en ander diere op die plaas te voer - hulle was in ekstase.

Ryan was kind enough to let my kids help him feed the lambs and other animals on the farm every morning and evening - they were ecstatic.
