Stylvolle en ontspanne atmosfeer in 'n pragtige omgewing.

Die Karoo-stilte is waarlik tasbaar op hierdie gasteplaas. Die kothuis is heerlik ruim, karaktervol gemeubileerd en laat mens dadelik tuis voel. Die gasvrye ontvangs deur Stephanie en die verduideliking van alles was werklik uitstekend. Die vuurtjie in die aande en die plonspoel is 'n bonus.

Stylish and relaxed atmosphere in beautiful surroundings.

The Karoo silence is truly palpable on this guest farm. The cottage is wonderfully spacious, furnished with character and makes you feel right at home. The hospitable reception by Stephanie and the explanation of everything was really excellent. The fire in the evenings and the splash pool are a bonus.

Amazing getaway, peaceful destination, great hosts!

Had the best stay. Ashley and Andre are the perfect hosts, and Zara Cottage had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. The splash pool was a big win on a very hot day. Peaceful and isolated, but totally safe. Will definitely be back.

Dit was wonderlik en rustig.

Ons het die swembad vreeslik geniet. Die natuurlewe was iets besonders gewees. Die rustigheid en stilte wat jou omring was fantasties. Dit is 'n oulike plekkie. Ons het ons tyd daar baie geniet. Dankie!

Unwelcome in the Karoo.

Upon arrival, the owners were kind enough to let us drop off our luggage in the house a little earlier, for which I was extremely grateful. And when I got out with my dog I was asked who gave permission for my German Shepherd because German Shepherds are problems. This immediately made me feel unwelcome because I always make sure my dog is welcome before I make any reservations, never advertise that a place is "pet friendly" when it actually isn't. Because the only dogs that were pinched were their 2 dogs. The one kept saying that I didn't say anywhere that I was bringing a German Shepherd, otherwise he would have said no. And he also said one of us will walk with red faces and tail between our legs if the truth comes out. Which immediately after he was gone my wife and I started looking and searching for the arrangements and permission answer which was answered by themselves. It was then screenshotted and sent to the owners, he then came to say sorry and I left it on. I also feel too much is expected to chat on the WhatsApp app, I blocked them on my phone 2 days later because I feel it's too much now. They want to ask about everything that was forgotten in the house and why certain habits are done for you because they don't understand it. If there is no damage to your place, clean up or move on. No client wants to hear from you two days later. I think it's a great place, a real diamond in the Karoo. However, I think one of the owners should learn to work with customers. And how to make people feel welcome.

Heerlik ontspan en gebly.

Zara Cottage het alles en meer wat nodig is en 'n heerlike koel huis, want dit was baie warm. Ashley het ons so welkom laat voel met aankoms, en het deurentyd voor ons kuier kontak met my gemaak. Kan beslis aanbeveel.

Goeie waarde vir geld en die rustigheid is beslis die moeite werd.

Dit was 'n wonderlike en rustige kuiertjie gewees, plek is baie netjies en is toegerus met alles, André het elke aand vir ons hout ook gebring hy kom hoor gereeld of ons nog okei is en of ons iets nodig het, die plonspoel is ook 'n wenner, ek sal beslis Wolverfontein Karoo Cottages vir mense aanbeveel, ek gaan beslis weer daar gaan bly.

Good value for money and the tranquility is definitely worth it.

It was a wonderful and peaceful visit, the place is very tidy and is equipped with everything, André also brought us wood every evening, he often comes to see if we are still okay or if we need anything, the splash pool is also A winner, I will definitely recommend Wolverfontein Karoo Cottages to people, I will definitely stay there again.

Voëls en voëlbad bied baie plesier.

Die verblyf hier was heerlik. Ons het net die heeldag op die stoep gesit en kyk hoe die voëls in die voëlbad baljaar en speel. Al werk die stoof met gas, is daar tog krag en warm water. Die een sitbank is net al lekker deurgesit. Neem 'n fiets saam en verkyker en geniet die stilte. Die twee groot honde is baie mooi opgevoed en vriendelik en baie op hul plek.

Birds and bird baths offer a lot of fun.

The stay here was wonderful. We just sat on the porch all day and watched the birds frolic and play in the bird bath. Even though the stove works with gas, there is power and hot water. The one couch has just been nicely put through. Take a bike and binoculars and enjoy the silence. The two large dogs are very well behaved and friendly and very much in their place.

Dear Corne, many thanks for your kind words and helpful advice. We're so glad that you enjoyed your time with us, and that we were able to distract you from the challenges of 2020. I will definitely investigate the sleeper couch you speak of, which sounds as though it too, has succumbed to the 2020 malaise. We do hope to see you again in the near future.

Charming Karoo cottage with wonderful hosts.

We loved the cottage with all the memorabilia and the stoep with the perfect, peaceful view. Ashley and André are wonderful hosts and their two ridge-backs are beautiful. From the lesser double collared sunbirds in the greenery to the owls in the loft and the interesting succulents on the hill it was a total delight.

A beautiful stay over. Wish we'd been able to stay longer.

A lovely quaint converted barn with a beautiful view of the Touws River. Lots to do such as biking, walking or running in the neighbouring nature reserve or just sitting and enjoying the landscape around you.

Ruimte, vars lug en die geraas van die natuur.

Ons het heerlik gebly in die ruim waenhuis met 'n stoep wat suid kyk (vir skaduwee op warm somer middae) en die natuur te geniet. Meeste selfsorgeenhede het een kamer met kombuis, eethoekie en bed so dit was lekker om die keer 'n aparte slaapkamer te. Twee dinge wat ons selde by selfsorg geriewe vind is 'n ordentlike skerp messie en growwe sout en peper- die waenhuis het beide gehad.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Space, fresh air and the noise of nature.

We had a lovely stay in the spacious carriage house with a south-facing veranda (for shade on hot summer afternoons) and enjoying nature. Most self-catering units have one room with kitchen, dining area and bed so it was nice to have a separate bedroom for once. Two things we rarely find at self-catering facilities are a decent sharp knife and coarse salt and pepper - the carriage house had both.

Die gasvryheid was net so warm soos die Karoo-dae!

'n Werkende waaier in elke kamer is noodsaaklik - dit is baie warm daar en die "goggas" in die nag is baie lastig!

The hospitality was as warm as the Karoo days!

A working fan in every room is essential - it's very hot there and the "bugs" at night are very annoying!
