Breathtaking Rygeveld.
It's hard to describe in words how special this place is. The road from Sutherland to the farm is breathtakingly beautiful. The view of the Glass House, the unspoiled nature. To watch the wind and the cold from a cozy glass case with a nice fire. Hospitality. Quite an experience. We are definitely going back!

Deeply delicious and insanely pleasant!
It was wonderfully secluded and the view was incredible. The facilities were more than adequate, except perhaps the bathroom which was a bit cramped. The manager was top notch and he immediately made us feel at home. A follow-up visit will definitely be seriously considered.

The place was probably one of the most breathtaking places we have ever stayed. The view, the concept of the glass house, the environment - everything literally takes your breath away.

Secluded, place to clear your head, and rest.
Interesting place! Environment is incredibly beautiful and unique. The fireplace inside the glass house is a winter winner, and when the wind blows so badly, one is cozy inside. The sofa beds are not really comfortable!

Bliss for the soul.
It was bliss for the soul at Aarfontein and especially at the Glass House! It's a beautiful location, but be aware the road is 4x4 to get there! I would definitely stay there again - the tranquility and stars in the evening were definite highlights.

We didn't know it was this far in. So that hindered our travel plans a bit. Especially getting to the glass house. It is of course very beautiful. The shower is quite a hassle, if perhaps more attention could be drawn to it. We were very nice and he was really there for everything.

It was breathtaking. The wind comes from 30 poles sometimes, but the view is special and worth the effort. One thing is you must have a 4x4 vehicle, or prearrange to be picked up.

The whole experience exceeded our highest expectations. It was lovely to be out of the cold, the wind and the sun, but still feel like we were outside. The quiet and seclusion was exactly what we needed. The house is well equipped, but the bed does not sleep well at all. We will bring an extra mattress next time.

The glass house is a little place from heaven, with the cliffs and beautiful scenery right under your feet. The silence and stars in the evening are just indescribable! Just be ready and prepared for a long dirt road and 4x4 trail to the cottage!

Weekend getaway.
A wonderful weekend of doing nothing and resting. Views and stars to dream of. It was truly a wonderful experience. Just be prepared that the last stretch of road to the cottage should preferably be tackled with a 4x4 or vehicle with high ground clearance. Annalene and Antonie, thank you for your hospitality and trouble with directions.

The Glashuis is a place of silence and breathtaking views.
We were pleasantly surprised with the Glashuis. A beautiful, clean and tidy "house" with everything you need for a few days' visit. Here you not only admire the beautiful view, but also the silence. The indoor barbecue and the wood-burning stove provide delicious warmth on freezing winter evenings .We will definitely come back again.Our host and hostess were friendly and very helpful.

The glass house was an experience!
We really enjoyed our time in the glass house! It's very far away from everything, and when you're up there you feel very secluded (in a good way). The view takes your breath away! The cottage itself has everything you need and the fireplace just makes it cozy quickly. The guesthouse managers, Annalene and Antonie, went out of their way to help us - their willingness was truly exceptional!

Most delicious!
The most beautiful stone house. We haven't relaxed so much in a long time. The weather was wet, cold and windy but that didn't stop us from lighting the fireplace, barbecuing and just being cozy. Our hosts were very nice and checked in every day to see if everything was okay. Would definitely recommend it.

The fact that the farm is remote and the journey there is a challenge does not take anything away from the wonder of the Glass House on the edge of the gorge. Hospitality and effort to make everything comfortable is high!

Ver Huisie was clean, tidy and cozy against the inclement weather outside.
If you like the open spaces and break away from the busy city, this is the place for you. We had a wonderful time in front of the fireplace. The branch shed provides shelter from the wind and the braai place has formed a delicious 'oven' for baking bread. There were problems with the solar system, but our friendly host quickly came and sorted it out. Perhaps you can only pay attention to the bathroom, because when you take a shower, the water runs under the corrugated iron into the bedroom. (Even if you completely remove the shower head). Other than that, everything was delicious!

Outstanding natural beauty.
My wife and I really enjoyed the weekend away at Aarfontein. We took our 3 dogs with us and were scared at first of Glaskas' high cliffs, but if your dogs are obedient and not strays, it can work. We underestimated the distance from Sutherland via the dirt road to the farm and then from the farm itself to the Glaskas house. It definitely takes a bit longer than Google maps suggests, it took us between 3 to 4 hours from Sutherland. If you drive calmly on the dirt roads because they are 4x4 roads. Take into account that your vehicle must have good ground clearance on the farm itself and you may be using a spare tyre. If you do take the extra travel time into account and make provision for it, this is still a special destination that you can't really describe to anyone in words. It is an experience I would recommend to anyone anytime and we will definitely go again. The house gives you peace of mind and the silence is perfect with a Springbok or kid grazing in the field.
