Homely, would recommend to anyone travelling through.

Loved our stay. Sannelie is an incredible host. Nothing was too much for her. Our car broke down and she even offered to fetch us. What a lovely gesture.

Vriendelike diens!

Beter gepas vir 'n langer verblyf as 'n oornagstop, maar ons het lekker geslaap (met 'n warmkombers vir 'n yskoue wintersaand) en die gasvrou was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Friendly service!

Better suited for a longer stay than an overnight stop, but we slept well (with a warm blanket for a freezing winter evening) and the hostess was very friendly and helpful.

2 Night stay.

The stone rondavel was very comfortable with everything we needed for a self-catering stay. Full DStv was included. We enjoyed walking and running on the farm as well as a walk along the Orange River. The mineral pool is well maintained. Well worth a visit.

Plek met baie potensiaal en het heelwaarskynlik 'n redelike verlede gehad. Daar is egter 'n groot behoefte vir 'n klompie TLC.

Buite-area nie versorg nie, ligte nog steeds buitewerking sedert vorige kommentaar. Regtig 'n plek met baie potensiaal, en maklik om te vergroot en te verbeter, maar kort iemand met passie om die sprankel weer terug te sit.

Place with a lot of potential and most likely had quite a past. However, there is a big need for a little TLC.

Outside area not maintained, lights still out of order since previous comment. Really a place with a lot of potential, and easy to enlarge and improve, but needs someone with passion to put the sparkle back again.

Remote, peaceful and lovely.

Lovely spot an easy distance from Aliwal North. Very well equipped rondavel on a working farm. We enjoyed the hot pool.

Wonderful memorable stopover!

Excellent, considerate hosts. We could not wish for better. Relaxed, enjoyed the tranquillity of the farm. Enjoyed the concealed hot spring pool. Unusual, but we were also fortunate to watch world champions shear sheep. It would definitely be worth another visit.

Baie ontspannend!

Ons was slegs vir een middag en 'n aand hier, maar ons en die kinders het dit baie geniet. Die huis was netjies, skoon en in 'n lieflike tuin geleë. Ons het gaan stap na die indrukwekkende Oranjerivier wat sowat 300 m van die huis verby vloei en tydens ons besoek in vloed was. Die warm swemgat, waar water uit die klip borrel, was veral 'n hoogtepunt. Ons het die warmbron-swembadjie vir die middag vir onsself gehad en ons het seker vir 'n uur lank in die lou-warm water gedryf. Ek sal hierdie gasteplaas beslis weer besoek!

Very relaxing!

We were only here for one afternoon and one evening, but we and the children really enjoyed it. The house was neat, clean and situated in a lovely garden. We went for a walk to the impressive Orange River which flows about 300 m from the house and was in flood during our visit. The hot swimming hole, where water bubbles out of the stone, was a particular highlight. We had the hot spring pool to ourselves for the afternoon and we probably floated in the lukewarm water for an hour. I will definitely visit this guest farm again!

Rustig op plaas.

Het die rustigheid baie geniet. Alles was perfek behalwe vir stoele buite wat stukkend was.

Quiet on farm.

Really enjoyed the tranquility. Everything was perfect except for chairs outside which were broken.

Lovely, quiet country visit with bonus of mineral spring.

I felt that it was a long trip to a spring that wasn’t very warm. We were lucky to be the only guests at the time as the pool is quite small. Was breakfast included in the rate?

Badfontein Guest Farm and Camping 's response

I am sorry that your stay was not so good. The pool`s temperature stays the same during summer and winter. I do not supply meals anymore, and when I quote I always quote for self-catering. I thought you came by on your way back home, I did not realise you came all the way from Cape Town just to swim in the pool.
Thank you for staying at Badfontein, although the pool is not to your taste, you must remember that swimming in the pool at no extra cost is a bonus.
Thank you.
Regards,
Susan

Onvergeetlike sonsondergang met swem in die maanskyn in 'n privaat warmbron-swembad.

Die ligging van die rondawel met lapa en warmwaterbron swembad maak dit 'n unieke en seldsame plek waar jy weer "mens" kan word. Die ongerepte natuur en skape wat rondom rondawel wei asook die idilliese sonsondergang en die stilte wat mens hoorbaar bekoor is uniek en ons verblyf was te kort gewees om die volle heerlikheid te kon belewe. Ons sal beslis weer terugkeer vir 'n langer periode verblyf. Die netheid en skoon versorgde rondawel is puik!

Unbelievable sunset with a swim in the moonlight in a private warm swimming pool.

The location of the rondavel with lapa and hot springs makes it an unique and scarce place where you can find yourself again. The untouched nature and sheep walking around our rondavel and the idyllic sunset and the silence is unique and our stay was too short to experience it to the max. We will definitely go back for a longer time. The neatness and clean kept rondavel is very good!
