Wonderful escape with stunning views of the valley below.

What an incredible spot, you sit right on the border of the Western and Northern Cape at the edge of a cliff with beautiful views of the valley below. Frans was also very helpful, and the place had everything we needed.

Asemrowende Roggeveld.

Dis moeilik om in woorde te beskryf hoe spesiaal hierdie plek is. Die pad van Sutherland tot op die plaas is asemrowend mooi. Die uitsig van die Glashuis, die ongereptheid van die natuur. Om die wind en die koue vanuit 'n snoesige glaskas met 'n lekker vuurtjie te aanskou. Gasvryheid. Regtig 'n belewenis. Ons gaan definitief terug!

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!

Diep lekker en moer aangenaam!

Dit was heerlik afgesonder en die uitsig was ongelooflik. Die geriewe was meer as voldoende, behalwe miskien die badkamer wat 'n bietjie knap was. Die bestuurder was tops en hy het ons dadelik laat tuis voel. 'n Opvolg kuiertjie sal beslis ernstig oorweeg word.

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.

A magical and inspiring stay in a beautiful location. Aarfontein Karoo Hoogland was everything we hoped for, and we enjoyed the seclusion and silence. The host was wonderful and kind, and we loved Shiraz and Maggie (the dogs), as well as the ostriches.

Lovely, remote and peaceful.

Our stay was so lovely, remote and peaceful. The journey there was scenic, and you are surrounded by beautiful landscapes the entire time. The little cottage was organised and had everything you might need to self-cater with loads of character. I would love another stay!

Gelukkig het ons 'n baie goeie 4x4 voertuig! Die pad is rof!

Die plek was seker een van die mees asemrowendste plekke waar ons nog gebly het. Die uitsig, die konsep van die glashuis, die omgewing - alles slaan jou asem letterlik weg.

Fantastic experience in a glass house on a cliff edge.

Rustic cottage in the mountains far away from everything. Great location and we even got to experience a snow storm from inside the glass house with a cosy fire. Took our 2 old Labradors with for the weekend - enjoyed lots of walking all around the farm. The host was excellent - friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Only issue: They desperately need to change the sleeper couch to a proper bed. The frame is sagging in the middle and extremely uncomfortable. We resorted to using the other sleeper couch mattress underneath and sleeping on the floor to get any rest.

Afgesonder, plek om jou kop skoon te maak, en te rus.

Interessante plek! Omgewing is ongelooflik mooi en uniek. Die kaggelstofie binne die glashuis is 'n winter wenner, en as die wind so erg waai, is 'n mens knus binne. Die slaapbanke is nie regtig gerieflik nie!

Saligheid vir die siel.

Dit was saligheid vir die siel op Aarfontein en veral by die Glas Huis! Dis 'n pragtige lêplek, maar wees bewus die pad is 4x4 tot daar! Ek sal beslis weer daar wil bly - die rustigheid en sterre in die aand was definitief hoogtepunte.

Panoramic Karoo stay.

The Aarfontein Karoo Hoogland was the perfect getaway. The remote location and quietness of the Karoo was exactly what we wanted for the weekend. The spectacular views from the Glashuis exceeded our expectations. Make sure to take a couple of walks during your stay; the panoramic views over the Karoo are amazing. The host was a great communicator and always ready to help. Just a mention - make sure you have an off-road vehicle when booking the Glashuis. You might need an elevated vehicle to reach Aarfontein farm, but from there it is another 6km, very close to a 4X4 road up the mountain to the Glashuis.

Awesome place, horrible bed, bring extra food to share with rodent family.

The offering is absolutely incredible, no complaints except for two. A sleeper couch as the main bed should never be offered. It was so uncomfortable that we considered leaving early. Please put in a proper bed. Also, we had to share the house and our food with a family of rodents, which also kept us awake at night.

Adventurous.

Ons het nie geweet dit is so ver in nie. So dit het ons reisplanne bietjie belemmer. Veral om by die glashuis uit te kom. Dit is natuurlik baie mooi. Die stort is nogal 'n gesukkel, as daar dalk meer aandag op dit kan gevestig word. Ons was baie nice en hy was regtig daar vir alles.

Rejuvenate in nature - an experience like no other!

What an absolutely amazing place! The wind was rough, but it definitely added to the experience. Just a warning with regards to the road, a high clearance vehicle is an understatement and fill up in Sutherland - the road is quite far in with no signal en route. But all in all, one of the best we've had. The host was wonderful; we missed the message about bringing wood, but the host sorted us out quickly! 10/10 would recommend.

Die hele ervaring het ons grootste verwagtinge oortref. Dit was heerlik om uit die koue, die wind en die son te wees, maar nog steeds te voel asof ons buite was. Die stilte en afsondering was presies wat ons nodig gehad het. Die huis is goed toegerus, maar die bed slaap glad nie lekker nie. Ons sal volgende keer 'n ekstra matras saambring.

'n Heerlike naweek van niksdoen en rus. Uitsigte en sterre om van te droom. Dit was voorwaar 'n heerlike ervaring. Wees net voorbereid dat die laaste stuk pad na die huisie toe verkieslik met 'n 4x4 of voertuig met hoë grondvry hoogte moet aangepak word.

Die Glashuis is 'n plek van stilword en asemrowende uitsigte.

Ons was aangenaam verras met die Glashuis. 'n Pragtige skoon en netjiese 'huisie" met alles wat mens nodig het vir 'n paar dae se kuier. Hier bewonder mens nie net die pragtige uitsig nie, maar ook die stilte. Die binnebraai en die houtkaggel sorg vir heerlike warmte op yskoue wintersaande. Ons sal vir seker weer terugkom. Ons gasheer en gasvrou was vriendelik en baie behulpsaam.

Die glashuis was 'n belewenis!

Ons het ons tyd in die glashuis vreeslik baie geniet! Dit is baie ver weg van alles, en wanneer jy daar bo is voel jy baie afgesonder (op 'n goeie manier). Die uitsig slaan jou asem weg! Die huisie self het alles wat jy nodig het en die kaggel maak dit sommer vinnig snoesig. Die gastehuisbestuurders, Annalene en Antonie, het uit hulle pad uit gegaan om ons te help - hulle bereidwilligheid was regtig besonders!

Die mooiste kliphuisie. Ons het lanklaas so lekker ontspan. Die weer was nat, koud en winderig maar dit het ons nie gekeer om kaggel aan te steek, te braai en net gesellig te wees nie. Ons gashere was verskriklik oulik en het elke dag kom inloer of alles okay is. Sal dit beslis aanbeveel.

Ver Huisie was was skoon, netjies en knus teen die gure weer buite.

As jy hou van die ooptes en wegbreek van die besige stad, is dit die plek vir jou. Ons het heerlik voor die kaggel gekuier. Die takkraaltjie bied beskutting teen die wind en die braaiplek het 'n heerlike 'oondjie' gevorm vir broodbak. Daar was probleme met die sonkragsisteem, maar ons vriendelike gasheer het dit vinnig kom uitsorteer. Julle kan miskien net aandag gee aan die badkamer, want as mens stort, loop die water onderdeur die sinkplaat tot in die slaapkamer. (Al stel mens die stortkop heeltemal weg). Verder was alles heerlik!

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!

Besonderse natuurskoonheid.

Ek en my vrou het die naweek weg verskriklik geniet op Aarfontein. Ons het ons 3 honde saamgevat en was eers skrikkerig gewees vir Glaskas se hoë kranse, maar as jou honde gehoorsaam is en nie dwalers is nie, kan dit werk. Die afstand vanaf Sutherland via die grondpad tot op die plaas en dan vanaf die plaas self na die Glaskas-huis het ons wel bietjie onderskat. Dit neem beslis bietjie langer as wat Google maps voorstel, dit het ons tussen 3 tot 4 ure geneem vanaf Sutherland. As jy rustig ry op die grondpaaie omrede dit wel 4x4-paaie is. Neem in ag dat jou voertuig goeie grondklaring moet hê op die plaas self en jy dalk 'n spaarband gaan gebruik. As mens wel die ekstra reistyd in ag neem en voorsiening daarvoor maak, is hierdie nogsteeds 'n besonderse bestemming wat mens nie in woorde eintlik vir iemand kan beskryf nie. Dit is wel 'n belewenis wat ek enige tyd sal aanbeveel vir iemand en ons sal beslis wel weer gaan. Die huis gee jou sielsrus en die stilte is perfek met 'n Springbokkie of bokkie wat in die veld wei.

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.

A glass house with a view!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Aarfontein. From the generous hospitality to the out of this world location, Aarfontein is a must for anyone looking for solitude and rest. We will be back!

Amazing, unforgettable.

What a hidden gem! The glass house is beyond amazing! You are on top of the world, not another human in sight. A wonderful place to reflect and unwind. Thank you to the host and hostess, for getting us up the mountain and for the friendly welcome. I will be back. Soon.
