Brandkop Guest Farm 's response
Thank you for your positive feedback, as discussed, that cottage is next on our to-do list for a makeover after the season, although our other guests urged us to keep it as it is: laid-back, comfortable and most of all: affordable. All the best from all of us at Brandkop!

Know you are on solar for power, but you might think of rechargeable bedside lamps. Furthermore, we enjoyed the fireplace with your delicious bags of wood and that table in front of the fire. The many bathrooms are a big plus.

Quiet and secluded.
The accommodation is very "rustic" and the tourist should not expect any luxuries. The showers do not have a door or curtain in front, so the floor is wet every time. The indoor grill is great especially during cold weather.

Basic, but adequate.
Lovely farm location, in nature. Their restaurant makes very good food. Beds were comfortable. But house needs renovation. There was a massive hole in the wall, with soil falling out. Kitchen is very basic equipped. Grill was dirty, with no way to clean it. No WiFi, no electrical plugs, water is undrinkable. These three facts are only communicated once you have finished booking. Only one of the bathrooms' geysers worked.

Brandkop Guest Farm 's response
Beste Annalene
Baie dankie vir die eerlike terugvoering. Op advies van Lekkeslaap, reageer ons graag soos volg: Reeds op 8 April vanjaar het u 'n besprekingsvorm van ons ontvang waarop duidelik aangedui word dat daar slegs sonkrag beligting in die cottages is, en ook dat grondwater oral op ons plaas gebruik word (in my huis ook), en dat u daarom u eie drinkwater kan voorsien, indien verkies. Ek het ook kanne gesuiwerde water beskikbaar by ontvangs. Voorts word daar nie geadverteer dat WiFi beskikbaar is nie, vanweë die ligging van die plaas, ons ontvangslokaal bied wel gratis WiFi aan ons gaste, waar dit gebruik word. U het dus voldoende tyd gehad om u bespreking te kanselleer vanweë die genoemde punte, sou u verwag dat dit ongerieflik sal wees tydens u verblyf, en alternatiewe verblyf te vind met WiFi, voldoende elektrisiteit en kragpunte en munisipale watervoorsiening. In die afgelope 14 jaar wat ons verblyf op ons plaas aanbied, het geen gas nog ooit 'n probleem gehad met die water, elektrisiteit of WiFi nie. Pieter het wel die onvoorsiene probleem met die geyser gaan herstel, dankie dat julle dit aan ons genoem het. Dit was steeds 'n voorreg om u te kon ontvang op ons plaas, en ons is dankbaar vir elke gas wat ons, en ons mooi omgewing, besoek.
Groete, Elizna

Hospitable, beautiful. Absolutely worth it.
Elizma and Pieter are two people with broad farming hearts and generous hospitality. The children immediately made friends and played the farm flat. The large farmhouse provided for long visits and nice fireplace barbecues. The meat we bought from them was delicious. The feathers were cuddly and the view of the mountains soul-nourishing. You don't leave here without a piece of your heart not being left behind.

Very neat accommodation with everything you need. The braai places inside and outside are very convenient. If you love the Karoo, this is just the place for deep soul rest - dead quiet with a special farm atmosphere. Sunrise and sunset unforgettable. Kokerboom forest in bloom is around the corner and was exceptional. Thank you very much, Pieter and Elizna. We come again.

Friendly, comfortable, like visiting your grandmother's farm.
We wanted to go flower-watching in Nieuwoudtville. Then scorching heat and gale force winds travelled with us. We saw few flowers, but experienced the hospitality of the people; and we saw the heartbreaking drought. We understand that tourism is now critically important, and we like to support Pieter and Elisma van Brandkop. Our stay and experience was so much more than we expected! Thank you for showing us your life.

The beautiful practical house no. 2 with the indoor fire place in the cold was absolutely wonderful.
What made Brandkop unique for us is the location of house no. 2 while we really felt very much at home. The fact that there is no 220v electricity added to the uniqueness of our stay, we were still able to prepare delicious dishes on the gas stove while the indoor fire kept us wonderfully warm in the cold. The cottage is nicely furnished and catered for all our needs. I can really recommend Brandkop to the visitor who likes silence and the farm atmosphere. I would love to return there again.

Short stay, but very neat and comfortable.
The house was very neatly and comfortably furnished. Everything needed was there and in good condition. The simplicity has a charm. One or two points of criticism - the double bed duvet is too small for taller persons and the couch by the fireplace's armrest will soon be occupied by those who want to get close to the fire. In short very good management and communication with owners ahead of time was 100%.

We didn't want to leave Brandkop. The playing and the visit were just too much fun. I look forward to my next visit.
