As jy wil wegbreek en rus in gemak - besoek Blesfontein!

Ek het 'n besondere nat naweek gekies vir my besoek aan Blesfontein, maar dit was nog steeds 'n spesiale ervaring. Nicol en Marina is uitstekende gashere. Die hele area was sonder krag vir ongeveer 24 uur, maar steeds het hulle moeite gedoen om te sorg dat die WiFi aan die gang bly, dat gaste nodige toerusting kan laai, dat almal gastoerusting en lig het en dat almal gemaklik is. Kaggels sorg vir hitte en verder is daar die ongelooflike rustigheid, veiligheid, natuurskoon en vir die energiekes, verskillende aktiwiteite.

If you want to get away and rest in comfort - visit Blesfontein!

I chose a particularly wet weekend for my visit to Blesfontein, but it was still a special experience. Nicol and Marina are excellent hosts. The entire area was without power for about 24 hours, but still they made an effort to make sure that the WiFi stayed up, that guests could charge necessary equipment, that everyone had gas equipment and light, and that everyone was comfortable. Fireplaces provide heat and furthermore there is the incredible tranquility, safety, natural beauty and for the energetic, various activities.

Was 'n hoogtepunt van ons vakansie.

Blesfontein Guest farm is pragtig, die verblyf is skoon, gemaklik, goed toegerus en die gasvryheid van die gasheer en gasvrou, Marina en Nicol, is uiters aangenaam. Sonsondergang by die platorand uitsigpunt is 'n moet. Ons het ook lekker in die plaasdammetjie geswem. Sal baie graag in die wintertyd wil teruggaan om sterre te kyk.

Blesfontein Guest farm is beautiful, the accommodation is clean, comfortable, well equipped and the hospitality of the host and hostess, Marina and Nicol, is extremely pleasant. Sunset at the escarpment viewpoint is a must. We also had fun swimming in the farm pond. Would love to go back in the winter time to stargaze.

Baie mooi uitsig by die Escarpment.

Die badkamer van huisie nr 5 ruik nie lekker nie. Kyk na die afvloei van die water. R160 vir 'n tjop en skyfies is baie te duur.

Hallo Julinda
Ek sien nou eers jou review. Ons het intussen die probleem by eenheid 5 se badkamer gevind en uitgesorteer - baie dankie dat jy dit ook genoem het.
Jy het my laat skrik met die nota dat die chops te duur is. Ons porsie chops weeg rou 350 g. Ek het gaan kyk wat 'n mens by Spur vir lam chops betaal:
200 g porsie kos R 141.90
400g porsie kos R 208.90
Ons moes ons lam chops en chips prys selfs nou op stoot tot R 170 per porsie. Dis eenvoudig wat dit moet kos om aan ons uitgawe kant tred te hou met inflasie. Ek besef dis duur, maar alles is so duur deesdae.
Dankie in elk geval dat jy my op my tone hou. Dit het my laat seker maak.
Beste wense
Ons hoop ons sien julle weer.
Groete en alles van die beste

Uitstekend.

Ons het 'n heerlike tyd op die plaas deurgebring. Dit is ongelooflik mooi op die plaas. Die gasheer en gasvrou het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons te leer wat op hulle plaas gebeur en niks was te veel moeite vir hulle nie. Gaan kyk gerus sterre op hierdie plaas, Nicol kan lekker stories vertel en deel graag sy kennis oor die sterre.

We spent a lovely time on the farm. It is incredibly beautiful on the farm.

Ontvangs baie vriendelik, sal enige tyd weer teruggaan, sterrekyk - wou hulle sommer almal pluk en saambring huis toe.

Dankie vir 'n wonderlike oornag, sal nie maklik vergeet nie. Sterre en maan kyk deur die teleskoop - wat 'n belewenis.Besoek aan die platorand is 'n moet en maak jou merk deur 'n stapeltjie klippe te pak en onthou om jou location te vat as jy teruggaan vir die volgende besoek.

Very friendly welcome, would go back any time, stargazing - just wanted to pick them all and bring them home.

Thanks for a great overnight stay, won't easily forget. Stars and moon look through the telescope - what an experience. A visit to the escarpment is a must and make your mark by packing a small pile of stones and remember to take your location when you go back for the next visit.

Asemrowende mooi omgewing! Sonsondergang op die platorand, plaasdiere en soveel meer!

Nicol en Marina is gasvry en baie vriendelik. Sterrekyk in die aand was 'n hoogtepunt en mens besef net weereens jou nietigheid. Die rustige plaaslewe met hoenders wat jou wakker maak in die oggend en selfs die tiener het nie een keer gekla dat sy verveeld is nie. Die gasteplaas sal ek definitief aanbeveel en sal beslis terugkom vir "peace and tranquility".

Breathtakingly beautiful surroundings! Sunset on the escarpment, farm animals and so much more!

Nicol and Marina are hospitable and very friendly. Stargazing in the evening was a highlight and you just realize your insignificance once again. The peaceful farm life with chickens that wake you up in the morning and even the teenager never complained once that she was bored. I would definitely recommend the guest farm and will definitely come back for "peace and tranquility".

Baie gerieflik en rustig.

Baie hartlik ontvang en welkom geheet deur Marina en sommer dadelik en volledig ingelig oor al die aktiwiteite op die plaas. Ons het lekker gekuier en gebly. Elektriese kombers was 'n bonus. Wanneer jy wegdraai van die hoofpad na Sutherland is die pad maar 'n uitdaging, maar doenbaar met ons Suzuki S-Presso. Dankie vir die wenk oor die beste roete. Die sterrekyksessie saam met Nicol was so leersaam. Rit en uitsig vanaf Eskarp vir seker die moeite werd. Lammers voer en interaksie met alpakkas was uniek. Voorspoed vir julle daar op julle "vetkolletjie" in die Karoo. Nooit geweet julle het ook 'n blommeseisoen nie, sou dit graag wou beleef.

Very comfortable and peaceful.

Very warmly received and welcomed by Marina and immediately and fully informed about all the activities on the farm. We had a great time and stay. Electric blanket was a bonus. When you turn off the main road to Sutherland the road is a challenge, but doable with our Suzuki S-Presso. Thanks for the tip on the best route. The stargazing session with Nicol was so informative. Drive and view from Eskarp for sure worth it. Feeding lambs and interacting with alpacas was unique. Good luck to you there on your "fat spot" in the Karoo. Never knew you had a flower season too, would love to experience it.

Heerlike verblyf ver van die beskawing.

Omdat dit net ek en my metgesel was, het ons die rondawel gekies. Baie geskik vir 2 mense, maar 4 kan hier slaap. Ons verblyf by Blesfontein het ons verwagtings ver oortref. Die 4 km rit na die platorand is absoluut die moeite werd! 'n Fantastiese uitsig oor die Tankwa. Nicol se gratis aanbieding van die hemelruim was baie goed, meer intiem en beter as by SALT. Hoogs aan te bevele. Die pad tussen Sutherland en Blesfontein was maar "grof" te danke aan die baie onlangse reën en verspoelings. 'n 260 km Besigtigingsirkelroete wat die Oubergpas, Tankwa Natuurreservaat en Gannagapas insluit kan met gerief binne 'n dag gery word.

Wonderful stay far from civilization.

Since it was just me and my companion, we chose the rondavel. Very suitable for 2 people, but 4 can sleep here. Our stay at Blesfontein far exceeded our expectations. The 4 km drive to the escarpment is absolutely worth it! A fantastic view of the Tankwa. Nicol's free presentation of the sky was very good, more intimate and better than at SALT. Highly recommended. The road between Sutherland and Blesfontein was only "rough" due to the very recent rains and washouts. A 260 km Sightseeing Circle Route that includes the Ouberg Pass, Tankwa Nature Reserve and Gannaga Pass can be driven comfortably within a day.

Spectacular views, warm hospitality and magnificent display of spring flowers.

I was impressed by the genuine warmth and hospitality of Marine and Nico who made us feel very welcome. We were blown away by the views from the top of the escarpment, which is a must-see. I loved all the farm animals, the horses, alpacas, and resident cats who are all very curious and friendly. The farm boasts the best spring flowers I have ever seen. A bit disappointing that we never had more time to explore the farm due to poor weather and our short stay. We will be back to experience the night skies and do some walks around the farm.

Die kuier was fantasties, ons het iets van alles gehad oor die kort tydjie wat ons daar was.

Mooi plaaslewe vol gesonde diere, 30 mm reën met donderstorms, mooi sonsondegange en een aand oor 'n kort periode al die mooi sterre gesien. Vir ons eerste kuier in die Karoo, het ons baie reën saamgebring oor die 3 dae wat ons daar was, maar ons het elke oomblik wat dit gereën het die plaas geniet, die reuk van reën wat op pad is, die klank van donderstorms, die verskeie wolk-, lug- en landskapkleure was asemrowend gewees en saans was daar periodes wat ons wel die sterre kon sien tussendeur die verskeie reënfronte wat ingekom het. Al die plaasdiere was vriendelik en grappig om na te kyk die hele dag. Nicol en Marina was baie vriendelik met ons. Ons sal definitief weer 'n draai gaan maak op die plaas.

Beautiful farm life full of healthy animals, 30 mm of rain with thunderstorms, beautiful sunsets and one night over a short period saw all the beautiful stars. For our first visit to the Karoo, we brought a lot of rain with us over the 3 days we were there, but every moment it rained we enjoyed the farm, the smell of rain coming, the sound of thunderstorms, the various cloud, sky and landscape colors had been breathtaking and at night there were periods when we could see the stars in between the various rain fronts that came in. All the farm animals were friendly and funny to watch all day. Nicol and Marina were very kind to us. We will definitely visit the farm again.

Ongelooflik mooi! Sterrekyk, die sonsondergang op die eskarpment met die mooiste uitsig, vriendelike mense, lekker kos. soveel om te doen!

Nicol en Marinette het ons hartlik ontvang en baie welkom laat voel. Daar is 'n lieflike plaasatmosfeer met zebras, alpaccas, perde (groot perde en 'n klein ponie wat te oulik byhou as hulle hardloop), hoenders, ganse, honde, katte, 'n springbokkie en tot Peppa die (groot) vark. Ek het dalk iets vergeet! Die skape was nog op 'n ander deel van die plaas. En die blomme! Mense, hulle staan nie terug vir Namakwaland nie, dit is so mooi! Om die sonsondergang vanaf die eskarpment te bekyk is 'n fantastiese ervaring. Dit kyk uit oor oneindige berge en die Tankwa. Dan het Nicol sy sterrepraatjie en ons het deur die groot teleskoop na Saturnus en nog vele meer gekyk, dit was baie interessant. Ons het ook ander wild gesien terwyl ons op die plaas rondgery het.

Incredibly beautiful! Stargazing, the sunset on the escarpment with the most beautiful view, friendly people, good food. so much to do!

Nicol and Marinette received us warmly and made us feel very welcome. There is a lovely farm atmosphere with zebras, alpacas, horses (big horses and a little pony that keeps up too cutely when they run), chickens, geese, dogs, cats, a springbok and even Peppa the (big) pig. I might have forgotten something! The sheep were still on another part of the farm. And the flowers! People, they do not stand back for Namaqualand, it is so beautiful! Watching the sunset from the escarpment is a fantastic experience. It overlooks infinite mountains and the Tankwa. Then Nicol has his star talk and we looked through the big telescope at Saturn and many more, it was very interesting. We also saw other wildlife while driving around the farm.

Ons het 'n wonderlike tyd daar gehad.

Nicol en Marina het uit hul pad gegaan om ons verblyf so aangenaam moontlik te maak. Sterrekyk was besonders en interressant saam met Nicol. Die sonsopkoms en die sonsondergang is pragtig vanaf die plato. Dit was 'n aangename ondervinding.

Wat 'n heerlike ondervinding.

Met die aankoms dink jy: "Waarin het ek myself begewe ?" Maar met elke minuut groei die plek op jou. Die oudtydse leefwyse, die horlosie wat stilstaan, die eienaars wat al hulle kennis met soveel liefde deel! Nicol van der Merwe wat jou leer van sterre met die hand pluk. Om daar weg te ry, laat jy 'n groot verlang agter. Die enigste waarheid is, jy sal weer wil gaan!

What a wonderful experience.

Upon arrival, you think: "What have I gotten myself into?" But with every minute the place grows on you. The ancient way of life, the clock that stands still, the owners who share all their knowledge with so much love! Nicol van der Merwe who hand-picks you to learn about stars. To drive away from there, you leave a great longing behind. The only truth is, you'll want to go again!

Rustig, skoon, ruim, netjies.

Marlene het ons verwelkom en vinnig tuis laat voel. Die plaas is 'n moet-oorslaap-plek. Gou word jy ingesluk deur die skoonheid van die plaas en rustigheid en sommer spyt jy het nie nog meer dae oorgeslaap nie. Sterrekykwêreld met die oop hemelruim en vars lug. Sal dit enige tyd aanbeveel en teruggaan vir nog 'n paar dae.

Blesfontein is net so bietjie buite die dorp op 'n pragtige plaas waar jy die stilte en rustigheid van die platteland kan geniet. Die kliëntediens was uitstekend en die akkommodasie was netjies en veilig. Ek sal dit definitief aanbeveel.

Dit was een van die lekkerste naweke van die jaar vir my. Blesfontein sal my weer in die toekoms sien.

Nicol het die sterrekyk baie interessant gemaak. Ons het lekker warm gesit onder komberse en het dit baie geniet. Om platorand toe te ry, is 'n moet. Blesfontein sien ons definitief weer. Beveel dit beslis aan vir dié wat van rustige plaaslewe hou.

Veelsydige verblyf onder die sterre.

Ons het 'n fantastiese verblyf gehad op Blesfontein. Ons was aanvanklik bietjie onseker oor die afstand van die dorp af met die grondpad, maar die veelsydigheid van Blesfontein het ons verras. Ons het meer tyd op die plaas spandeer. Fietsry, wildbesigtiging, plaasdiere en asemrowende vistas het n ongelooflike verblyf verseker. Nicol se sterrekyk-sessies in die aande was ook insiggewend. Die ontbyt is baie lekker en die personeel vriendelik. Die huisies is skoon en netjies en die braai/kaggel in die huisies perfek vir die winteraande.

Versatile accommodation under the stars.

We had a fantastic stay at Blesfontein. We were initially a bit uncertain about the distance from the town with the gravel road, but the versatility of Blesfontein surprised us. We spent more time on the farm. Cycling, game viewing, farm animals and breathtaking vistas ensured incredible accommodation. Nicol's stargazing sessions in the evenings were also informative. The breakfast is very nice and the staff friendly. The cottages are clean and tidy and the braai/fireplace in the cottages is perfect for winter evenings.

Wonderful experience.

We were not so lucky with the weather and couldn’t see the stars, but everything else was very nice. Our hosts were very welcoming and involved us in some farming activities, like helping a newborn alpaca. Even being busy, they made time for us. The place is beautiful, far from the city and we liked it! Having the animals around us was also a nice experience, especially for the children. Awesome view at the escarpment at sunset time. Good food. A birthday for our daughter that we won’t forget now that we are back in France.

Appreciate the natural scenery and becoming 'human' again.

What a great experience, clean and neat accommodation. We learned so much about the stars and gained perspective on our insignificance in the greater universe. Strongly recommended. Thank you also to our host and hostess.

'n Wonderlike belewenis: natuur, sterre, mense en diere ... 'n lekkerte om voor terug te keer! Belofte van sneeu is ook 'n trekpleister!

Ons kom graag terug vir die sterre en die gesels in die donker oor dinge wat groter en verder is as wat ons ooit kan dink! In die helder daglig is die plaaslewe net so 'n lekkerte met diere om elke hoek en draai! Marina en Nico is wonderlike gashere en ons kan hulle net op die skouer klop vir 'n wonderlike onderneming!

We will come back for the stars and company in the dark about things that are bigger and further than we can ever think! In daylight the farm life is nice with the animals around every corner! Marina and Nico are wonderful hosts and we can just praise them for such a wonderful establishment!

Blesfontein is een van die mooiste plekke wat ek nog ooit by was. Die plaas is perfek geleë. Nicol doen 'n Stargazing aand saam jou as jy daar bly. Soveel geleer. Die kamers is pragtig. Blesfontein sal my weer voor die einde van die jaar sien. Maar die keer bly ek langer.

Ongelooflik!

Wow, hierdie is 'n juweel! Ons het heerlik gebly en Nicol en Marina was vreeslik gasvry. Die sterre was ongelooflik en Nicol het ons fantastiese goed vertel en gewys oor die hemelruim. Dit was 'n onvergeetlike ervaring om al die verskillende sterre en planete deur die teleskoop te sien. Ons het dit vreeslik geniet en kan nie wag om terug te gaan nie! Daar is baie verskillende diere en ons kon lekker draf na die platorand. Die uitkyk oor die Tankwa is asemrowend. Sal dit definitief aanbeveel.

There a lot of different animals and we had a nice jog to the plateau. The view of the Tankwa is breathtaking. Would definitely recommend it.

Blesfontein is 'n pragtige plaas en egte Karoo, maar die verskil is die warmte en ervarings as gevolg van die insette van Nicol en Marina. Puik!

Ons het heerlik gekuier op dié egte Karoo-plaas en daar is soveel om te sien en beleef. Die sterrekyk saam Nicol is 'n hoogtepunt en die perderit was baie lekker. Die kinders het lekker geswem in die plaasdam en die lammers help voer. Die paadjie is so bietjie sinkplaat maar met so bietjie geduld is dit definitief die moeite werd. Laastens is ons bederf met n heerlike groot plaasontbyt! Dankie julle vir 'n besonderse paar dae!

Blesfontein is a beautiful farm in the real Karoo. Nicol and Marina's contributions made it a wondeful, warm experience. Wonderful!

We had a great time on this real Karoo farm and there is so much to see and do. Star gazing with Nicol was such a highlight and the horse ride was also very nice. The kids had so much fan in the dam and they helped to feed the lambs. The road is a bit rough but if you have a bit of patience it is definitely worth it. And they spoiled us with a huge farm breakfast! The few days we spend there was so special.

Wonderlike, nuwe perspektief op die Karoo.

Hierdie gasteplaas bied die ideale verblyf om enige persoon se persepsies oor die Karoo te beïnvloed. Die Roggeveld bied soveel om te sien en op die platorand kan neergekyk word oor groot dele van die Tankwa Karoo. Akkommodasie het ons behoeftes geheel aangespreek en ons is selfs getrakteer met 'n sterrekyk deur die gasheer se teleskoop. Hierdie is die ideale plek vir diegene wat die Karoo ten volle wil ervaar.

Wonderful new perspective on the Karoo.

This guesthouse offers the ideal accommodation to influence anyone's perception of the Karoo. The Roggeveld offers so much to see and if you're on the escarpment you can look down on big parts of the Tankwa Karoo. Accommodation completely satisfied our needs and we could even look at the stars through the host's telescope. This is the ideal place for those who want to fully experience the Karoo.

Heerlike plaasatmosfeer tussen die diere, sterre en fantastiese Karoo-landskappe.

Die gasheer en -vrou ontsien geen moeite om jou as gas hier te laat tuisvoel nie. Die lesing oor die nagtelike sterrehemel deur die gasheer is 'n absolute "moet doen" en was vir my die hoogtepunt van my besoek aan Sutherland en omgewing.

Baie netjies, skoon, veilig en goed toegerus.

Vir iemand wat belangstel in sterre is dit die ideale plek om te oornag. Die eienaar bied 'n spesiale sterrekyksessie vir besoekers aan, wat baie interessant is. Die sowat 26 km grondpad na die plaas is in 'n redelike goeie toestand, maar nie geskik vir jaagduiwels nie.

Teleurgesteld.

By aankoms het ons vir meer as 5 min gewag vir iemand om ons te kom help by ontvangs, 'n jong man wat daar was het die huishulp laat weet en sy het ons na ons verblyf geneem. Ons moes ook self die gasstoof uitsorteer en vir braaihout betaal wat nie vooraf met ons bespreek is nie. Die plaasdiere is by 'n hoop "scrap metal" aan die agterkant van die akkommodasie, wat nie mooi op die oog is nie.

Disappointed.

On arrival we waited for more than 5 min for someone to come and help us at reception, a young man who was there informed the housekeeper and she took us to our accommodation. We also had to sort out the gas stove ourselves and pay for braai wood which was not discussed with us in advance. The farm animals are at a pile of "scrap metal" at the back of the accommodation, which is not pretty to the eye.

Hallo Elmarie,
Dankie vir jou eerlike kommentaar. Na maande van net positiewe komentaar, ruk 'n resensie soos die ons terug op ons tone. Meeste gaste geniet die feit dat dit nie 'n oor gekommersialiseerde opset is nie. Ons is 'n werkende plaas waar ek en my man tussen normale plaas werk deur gaste verwelkom en deel maak van ons lewe. Enige plaas het 'n afvalplase. Daar is ook plaas diere oral anders op die 3000 ha plaas, beslis nie net langs die scrap yard nie. Verbasend baie van die besoekende pappas bou kreatiewe skeppinge saam met hulle seuns in die scrap yard.
Ons was nog mooit in 'n gaste huis waar gratis braai hout uitgedeel is nie.
Almal steek met gemak die gas stoof aan en indien julle net hulp sou vra, sou ons met graagte wou help.
Aan ons kant het ons julle besoek geniet en ons hoop ons sien julle weer om te kan opmaak vir die ervaring.
Vriendelike groete,
Marina

Wat 'n plesier!

Nicol en Marina het eenvoudig uit hulle pad gegaan om mens te laat tuis voel en te help. Ons voertuig het gebreek op die dorp. Hulle het ons kom haal en was bereid om die volgende dag ons weer dorp toe te vat waar ons vervoer kon kry terug Kaap toe, maar toe sneeu dit en die pas is toe. Nicol het nie geskroom om ons tot aan die onder kant van die pas te neem sodat ons kon oorklim in ander vervoer om huis toe te gaan nie. En die manier wat hy die "sterrekyksessie" aanbied is ook baie interessant en aan te beveel. Die uitsig by die eskarp was fantasties. Ons gaan weer!

What a pleasure!

Nicol and Marina simply went out of their way to make you feel at home and to help. Our vehicle broke down in town. They came to pick us up and were prepared to take us back to town the next day where we could get transport back to the Cape, but then it snowed and the pass was closed. Nicol didn't hesitate to take us to the bottom of the pass so we could get on other transport to go home. And the way he presents the "stargazing session" is also very interesting and to be recommended. The view at the escarpment was fantastic. Here we go again!

Verblyf was bespreek en betaal, maar met aankoms was dit nie na wense nie, het nie oorgeslaap nie. Is daar weg so vinnig as moontlik.

Akkommodasie is deel van 'n ou skuur. Dak is uit riete gemaak, reg langs die area waar die skape gedip word. Beddegoed en gordyne is van selfde materiaal gemaak, niks pas by mekaar nie, en dit lyk asof die stoffering uit die beddens onder uit kom. Was uiters teleurgesteld gewees.

Accommodation was booked and paid for, but on arrival it was not as desired, did not sleep over. Get out of there as fast as possible.

Accommodation is part of an old barn. Roof is made of reeds, right next to the area where the sheep are dipped. Bedding and curtains are made of the same material, nothing matches, and the upholstery seems to be coming out of the beds underneath. Was extremely disappointed.

Goeie dag Uriel
Ons gaste se geluk is werklik vir ons 'n groot prioriteit.
Dit het vir my gelyk dat julle slegte nuus ontvang het toe julle in die bereik van selfoon sein kom, en daarom moes julle vinnig vertrek.
Die eenhede waarin julle sou bly is direk langs die skuur, maar skape word nie meer gedip nie - boere gebruik nou opgiet middels en die enigste dip gat, oud en nie meer in werkende toestand op Blesfontein, is seker 3 km van die huis af by 'n kraal in die veld.
Die meeste gaste is baie opgewonde dat hulle deur die venster kan kyk na my pragtige Appaloosa perde wat net agter die gebou wei.
Die gordyne en beddegoed pas wel bymekaar en is hoegenaamd nie uit dieselfde materiaal gemaak. Die beddegoed en die gordyne word by 'n bekende handelsmerk aangekoop.
Die plavon is wel van riete gemaak, iets waarvoor ons nogal baie komplimente ontvang by ons gaste oor die "rustic" plaas atmosfeer wat dit skep.
Ek het nou groot geskrik en gaan kyk of daar iewers stoffeersel uitkom, maar niks, nêrens. Daar kom op geen plek in enige van die 2 eenhede waarin julle moes bly, enige stoffeersel uit nie dus moet dit 'n verwarring wees.
Ons is baie spyt dat julle nie die plaas geniet het nie, maar baie bly dat feitlik almal anders so gelukkig is dat hulle jaar na jaar terugkom.
Vriendelike groete
Marina

'n Belewenis!

Die eienaars het uit hul pad gegaan met hul gasvryheid en tyd vir hul gaste. Die skoon lug, die sit op die platorand en die afgeronding van 'n sterrekyk-sessie deur 'n teleskoop was meer as wat ons verwag het. Die perde, hoenders en voëls het jou ook tuis laat voel. Opgesom: vat die pad na Blesfontein en kyk waar lê Karoo-skoonheid, vars lug en mooi mense. Sal ons weer gaan: beslis!

The owners went out of their way with their hospitality and time for their guests.

In summary: take the road to Blesfontein and see where lies Karoo beauty, fresh air and beautiful people. Would we go again: definitely!
