Asemrowend.

Dit was so rustig, en dit was die beste wegbreek nog weg van die stad af. Lizette het baie moeite ingesit en was vreeslik behulpsaam. Die huisie was baie oulik ingerig en ons sal beslis terug wees. Sal hierdie plekkie vir enige iemand aanbeveel wat net 'n rustige naweek wil geniet.

Breathtaking.

It was so peaceful, and it was the best getaway away from the city. Lizette put in a lot of effort and was extremely helpful. The cottage was very cutely furnished and we will definitely be back. Would recommend this place to anyone who just wants to enjoy a quiet weekend.

Calm, peaceful, serene.

An extra room would be fantastic so that we can add perhaps 2 more people to the group for activities, such as playing cards or dominoes etc. seeing that there is no TV which I love by the way.

The cottage was extremely well equipped and spotlessly clean. There was great attention to detail and nothing was too much trouble to Lizette. The setting is tranquil and beautiful. We will definitely be back.

Would definitely recommend staying on the farm. Conveniently located and very comfortable. Lizette the host, was warm and welcoming and so hospitable.

'n Plaaservaring wat jou lewe verander.

Wat 'n belewenis om hier te kon bly. 'n Werkende plaas maar 'n oorbly wat nooit vergeet sal word nie. Lizette was so ongelooflik professioneel en kon net nie genoeg doen om ons tuis te laat voel nie. Ons eerste keer in die Overberg en wat 'n belewenis. Daar bly nog mense-mense wat omgee en jou soos familie laat voel. Baaaie dankie Lizette vir julle gasvryheid, vriendelikheid en menswees. Ons het so lekker op die plaas gebly en kom gou weer terug.

A farm experience that changes your life.

What an experience to be able to stay here. A working farm but a stay that will never be forgotten. Lizette was so incredibly professional and just couldn't do enough to make us feel at home. Our first time in the Overberg and what an experience. There are still people who care and make you feel like family. Thank you so much Lizette for your hospitality, kindness and humanity. We had such a nice stay on the farm and will come back soon.

Ongelooflike uitsig en lieflike verblyf.

Ongelooflike blyplek met alles wat jy nodig het vir 'n naweek weg van die huis. 'n Ongelooflike uitsig, heerlike stoep met hout en varsgebakte beskuit op die koop toe. Ons sal weer daar wil gaan kuier. Fantastiese en vriendelike gasvrou om alles te kroon!

Amazing view and lovely stay.

Amazing place to stay with everything you need for a weekend away from home. An incredible view, delicious stoep with wood and freshly baked biscuits on sale. We would like to visit there again. Fantastic and friendly hostess to top it all off!

Baie lekker rustig en ontspannend!

Dis 'n fantastiese wegbreekplek, met net die rustigheid van die natuur om jou. Die kothuis is kleinerig, maar is baie goed toegerus en ideaal vir 2 klein gesinne. Die omgewing is beeldskoon, met 'n ligging wat oor die garslanderye uitkyk. Toegang na die plaas is baie maklik. Daar is 'n kamp met skapies en hoenders by die eienaars se huis, wat baie oulik is vir klein kinders. As jy soek vir 'n rustige atmosfeer, met nie veel om te doen nie, sal ek hierdie oulike plek beslis hoogs aanbeveel! Om weg te kom en te rus kan mens nie vir beter vra nie.

Very peaceful and relaxing!

It's a fantastic getaway, with only the tranquility of nature around you. The cottage is small, but very well equipped and ideal for 2 small families. The setting is picturesque, with a location overlooking the barley fields. Access to the farm is very easy. There is a camp with sheep and chickens at the owners' house, which is very cute for small children. If you are looking for a quiet atmosphere, with not much to do, I would definitely highly recommend this cute place! To get away and rest one could not ask for better.

Great breakaway!

This special place offers you a very affordable and stunning, also very comfortable breakaway with views that you will remember for a life time. The hospitality from the owners and involvement regarding your arrival is outstanding, even the farm dogs will greet you on arrival. Truly a place for relaxation.

Pragtige uitsig oor die landerye!

Lizette is 'n bedagsame en vriendelike gasvrou. Ons plekkie was heerlik ingerig. In die kombuis het eiers vir ontbyt in die yskas gewag, sowel as 'n bekertjie vars melk en 'n houer vol tuisgebakte beskuit. Dis nou plaasbederf op sy beste!

Beautiful view over the fields!

Lizette is a considerate and friendly hostess. Our place was beautifully furnished. In the kitchen, eggs for breakfast were waiting in the fridge, as well as a mug of fresh milk and a container full of home-baked biscuits. Now that's farm spoiling at its best!

Definitief waarde vir geld!

Oor die algemeen was ons baie tevrede met wat die kothuis vir 'n mens bied en beskou dit as goeie waarde vir geld. Dit was skoon en netjies en kleinighede soos braaihout, melk en suiker, biskuit, ens. en 'n hartlike ontvangs het ons baie welkom laat voel. 'n Mens het die opsie om van 'n binne- of buitebraai gebruik te maak. Ons en ons gaste vanaf Duitsland, was ook baie ingenome met die uitsig op die pas geoeste goue koringlande en die stilte. Ons het goeie aanwysings voor ons vertrek gekry en kon die plaas daarom redelik maklik vind. Ons kan dit vir seker aanbeveel.

Definitely value for money!

Overall, we were very happy with what the cottage has to offer and consider it good value for money. It was clean and tidy and little things like braai wood, milk and sugar, biscuits, etc. and a warm welcome made us feel very welcome. One has the option of using an indoor or outdoor barbecue. We and our guests from Germany were also very pleased with the view of the freshly harvested golden wheat fields and the silence. We were given good directions before we left and were therefore able to find the farm quite easily. We can recommend it for sure.
