Great place to stay, and the host was friendly, helpful and made it feel 'homely'.

A lovely cottage - in the middle of 'nowhere'! The farm was beautiful, and the flowers on the farm were beautiful!

Twee nagte op die plaas vir ons 'blommetjies kyk' vakansie.

Ons het baie lekker in hierdie pragtige plaashuis gebly. Alles wat ons benodig het, was in die huis beskikbaar. Die hele opset op die plaas is baie netjies. Dankie, Elizna! Julle plek is werklik besonders.

Two nights on the farm for our 'flower-watching' holiday.

We had a great time staying in this beautiful farmhouse. Everything we needed was available in the house. The whole setup on the farm is very neat. Thank you, Eliza! Your place is truly special.

The solitude was invigorating!

It was a down to earth basic accommodation. The location, the views, the ambience were superb. We enjoyed the rustic feel. We do feel though that compared to other accommodation on our trip, it was overpriced, but understand that it was flower season. We did feel that they could have laid on drinking water, but we were warned.

Splendid stay in the middle of nowhere.

A splendid stay in the isolated little hut. Primitive, but with all you need to spend a couple of days in the middle of nowhere. It was the second time we stayed in the hut, and we would love to come back again.

The old house needs to be revamped.

We stayed in the old cottage, which is in desperate need of a facelift when we saw the cottage the other half of our group stayed in!

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!

Weet jul is op solar vir krag, maar jul kan dalk dink aan herlaaibare bedlampies. Verder het ons die kaggel met jul heerlike sakke hout en daai tafel voor die vuur geniet. Die baie badkamers is 'n groot pluspunt.

Rustic and relaxed with cosy, comfortable rooms.

No power sockets, so modern gadgets are not an option over a couple of nights' stay. Gas fridge which is not as cold as a modern equivalent. Wifi range very limited - no normal cell phone signal. Beds very comfortable and warm. Lovely large fire in the lounge and farm wood burns hot and long. Very clean and owners are very friendly and helpful.

Rustig en afgeleë.

Die verblyf is baie "rustic" en die toeris moet geen luukshede verwag nie. Die storte het nie 'n deur of gordyn voor nie, dus is die vloer elke keer nat. Die binnebraai is wonderlik veral tydens koue weer.

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.

Ons het as familiegroep 'n fantastiese kuiertyd gehad op Brandkop. Die huis is ruim en goed ingegerig, en die dons duvets het ons heerlik snoesig gehou. Eliza en Pieter het ons baie welkom laat voel, en ek kan die braaipakke en plaasbrood hoog aanbeveel. Ons sal graag weer daar gaan kuier.

Basies, maar voldoende.

Heerlike plaas ligging, in die natuur. Hulle restaurant maak baie lekker kos. Beddens was gemaklik. Maar huis kort opknapping. Daar was 'n massiewe gat in die muur, met grond wat uitval. Kombuis is baie basies toegerus. Braairooster was vuil, met geen manier om dit skoon te maak nie. Geen WiFi, geen elektriese plugs, water is ondrinkbaar. Hierdie drie feite word eers meegedeel sodra jy klaar bespreek het. Net een van die badkamers se geysers het gewerk.

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

Gasvry, pragtig. Absoluut die moeite werd.

Elizma en Pieter is twee mense met wye boereharte en ruimskootse gasvryheid. Die kinders het op slag maats gemaak en die plaas plat gespeel. Die groot plaashuis het gesorg vir lang kuiers en lekker kaggelbraai. Die vleis wat ons by hulle gekoop het was heerlik. Die veredonse was snoesig en die uitsig oor die berge sielevoedend. Jy gaan nie hier weg sonder dat 'n stukkie van jou hart nie agterbly nie.

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.

Lovely small cottage in ‘the middle of nowhere’.

A cosy little cottage located some 3 km from the main farm house - next to the famous quiver tree forest. Unfortunately there were no flowers when we visited the place - due to lack of rain. But still a very nice place to relax and enjoy the panoramic view.

Gerieflike verblyf in 'n besonderse omgewing.

Baie netjiese verblyf met alles wat jy nodig het. Die braaiplekke binne en buite is baie gerieflik. As jy lief is vir die Karoo is dit net die plek vir diepe sielerus - doodstil met 'n besondere plaasatmosfeer. Sonsopkoms en ondergang onvergeetlik.

Vriendelik, gemaklik, soos om op jou ouma se plaas te gaan kuier.

Ons wou gaan blommekyk het in Nieuwoudtville. Toe reis versengende hitte en stormsterk ooswinde saam met ons. Ons het min blommetjies gesien, maar het die gasvryheid van die mense ervaar; en ons het die hartverskeurende droogte gesien. Ons verstaan dat toerisme nou krities belangrik is, en ons ondersteun graag vir Pieter en Elisma van Brandkop. Ons verblyf en ervaring was soveel meer as wat ons verwag het! Dankie dat julle jul lewe aan ons gewys het.

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!

Die pragtige praktiese huis no. 2 met die binnenhuise vuurmaakplek in die koue was absoluut wonderlik.

Wat Brandkop vir ons uniek gemaak het, is die ligging van huis no. 2 terwyl ons werklik baie tuis gevoel het. Die feit dat daar nie 220 v elektrisiteit is nie het bygedra tot die uniekheid van ons verblyf, ons kon nog steeds heerlike disse voorberei op die gasstoof terwyl die binnehuis se vuur ons heerlik warm gehou het in die koue. Die huisie is keurig gemeubileer en het voorsien aan al ons behoeftes. Ek kan Brandkop werklik aanbeveel aan die besoeker wat van stilte en die plaasatmosfeer hou. Ek sal graag weer daarheen wil terugkeer.

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.

Kort gebly, maar baie netjies en gerieflik.

Die huis was baie netjies en gerieflik ingerig. Alles wat benodig is, was daar en in goeie toestand. Die eenvoud het 'n bekoring. Een of twee punte van kritiek - die dubbelbedduvet is te klein vir langer persone en die rusbank by die kaggel se armleuning gaan gou-gou deurgesit word deur die wat naby die vuur wil kom. In kort baie goed bestuur en kommunikasie met eienaars voor die tyd was 100%.

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%.

Regte Karoo-plek, as dit jou ding is.

As jy lief is vir die Karoo se stilte, sonsondergange, sonsopkomste, pragtige sterre en om alleen te wees, dan is hierdie plek vir jou. Ek sal eendag weer wil gaan, sodra dit gereën het. Die foto hierbo het my gelok - dis geweldig droog op die oomblik, geen groen nie.

Real Karoo place, if that's your thing.

If you love the Karoo's silence, sunsets, sunrises, beautiful stars and being alone, then this place is for you. I would like to go again one day, once it has rained. The photo above attracted me - it's extremely dry at the moment, no greenery.

Remote and basic.

F you are looking for solitude, this is the ideal spot. Dramatic Karoo scenery. Accommodation is basic. Two bedrooms but no ceilings and little privacy. Bath towels supplied but no hand towels or soap. Crockery supply was exactly 4 of each item so it you need a spare plate there isn't one. Dishwashing liquid was watered down drastically and minimum was supplied. Bedroom floor could have done with a good sweep. Solar power for lighting and gas for appliances and heating water - great for the occasion but no facility for charging camera batteries, phones etc. Area is not on the grid as far as internet and phones are concerned - also not a problem to experience this.

Die perfekte plek om te ontspan en weg te kom van die geharwar van die lewe.

Ons het alles baie geniet: die skoon fasiliteite, die gasvryheid, veilige omgewing en die natuur. Die gasheer en gasvrou is baie akkommoderend en daarop ingestel om gaste ruimte van beweging op die plaas te gee en elke lid van die geselskap, veral kinders, 'n aangename verblyf te gee. Ons wou nie Brandkop verlaat nie. Die speel en die kuier was net te lekker. Ek sien uit na my volgende besoek.

The perfect place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of life.

We really enjoyed everything: the clean facilities, the hospitality, safe environment and nature. The host and hostess are very accommodating and intent on giving guests room for movement on the farm and giving every member of the party, especially children, a pleasant stay. We didn't want to leave Brandkop. The playing and the visit were just too much fun. I look forward to my next visit.

Perfect isolation - plus view of Gannabos!

Lovely stay in perfect isolation. Well appointed accommodation with everything one could need. The indoor fireplace/braai was much appreciated. Only few suggestions: tell guests to bring their own drinking water (“brak” water) and please provide either an extra thinner duvet or more blankets. The beautiful goose down duvet was much too hot and heavy - even with very low night time temperature.

Baie geniet en sonsopkoms en ondergang was pragtig. Vriendelike mense het opgemaak vir geen blomme en droë damme.
