Calm and quiet with a view over the plains and Karoo hills with sunset.
It was a first experience for us on a guest farm. Brenda welcomed us and made sure we had everything we needed, including a cup of fresh farm milk. Peace and quiet after a hot day on the road, with the occasional bleating of a little lamb in the background, confirmed that we were spending the night on a "working" Karoo farm. The accommodation was comfortably furnished, clean and tidy and typical of a genuine Karoo farmhouse. Definitely a very nice experience.

Had a great time, also walked around the farm a bit. Very friendly reception, and the braai pack with roast cake dough and one salad was an absolute winner!

A nice place to spend the night, peace and quiet.
Accommodation was comfortable, clean and tidy and the tranquility of just enjoying the silence of a Karoo farm after a long day on the road is too nice. All the basic amenities are available and the accommodation is stylish with a Karoo character. Brenda is friendly and there to welcome visitors and make sure everything is in order. The sunset is something special and on a cloudless night the stars are too many. Hanging out on the porch with a view of the mountains and plains remains special.

Nice peaceful farm feeling.
Nice peaceful farm feeling. Water had been a problem so could not shower. Luckily we had water with us and were able to cook. Hostess apologized. I understand, but they could have sorted it out or let people know earlier that there was a problem. It was very cold in the mornings and hot shower in the evening and morning would be appropriate. A few things were suspended that one would want to use. Frying pan, pan, ladles. But we made the best of it.

Allendale Farm Guest Cottage 's response
Beste Marius
Ons is baie jammer oor die ongerief wat u ervaar het. Ek het wel u bankbesonderhede gevra om u te vergoed vir die ongerief wat u ervaar het.
Ongelukkig was dit die eerste keer in 6 jaar wat ons die gastehuis het, wat ons letterlik deur die dag uit water gehardloop het as gevolg van die wind wat nie gewaai het nie, en die sonpomp eers na 23:00 kon week as gevolg van gevriesde pype. Daar was niks wat ons kon doen nie.
Teen die aand was daar wel water, maar nie genoeg om die drukking tot by die geyser te stoot nie.
Ons sal verseker daarna kyk om die eenheid se geyser uit die dak te haal na hierdie ervaring.
Ons probeer altyd, in alle omstandighede, om die beste van ons vermoeë te doen, om ons gaste see ervaring 'n fantastiese een te maak. Ons is regtig baie jammer dat dit nie die geval was, toe julle by ons gebly het nie.
Ek sal verseker 'n plan maak om die goedjies wat julle gemis het gedurende julle verblyf, in die eenheid te sit.
Groete
Brenda
