Baie lekker gekuier op Brinksfontein!

Pragtige omgewing en huis in die Karoo. Mooi ou kliphuis is goed toegerus met alles wat nodig is en nog meer! Het heerlik gekuier en gebraai op die stoep en het die hottub gate uit geniet! Het ons met 'n heerlike warm tuisgebakte brood en hartlike gasvryheid ontvang. Was ook lekker dat ons vriende se honde welkom was. Sal Brinksfontein regtig aanbeveel vir mense wat hou van die Karoo en kans sien vir die lang grondpad (wat terloops glad nie in 'n sleg toestand is nie).

Had a great time at Brinksfontein!

Beautiful surroundings and house in the Karoo. Beautiful old stone house is well equipped with everything needed and more! Had a great time and barbecued on the stoep and enjoyed the hottub hole out! Received us with delicious warm home-baked bread and warm hospitality. It was also nice that our friends' dogs were welcome. Would really recommend Brinksfontein to people who like the Karoo and see a chance for the long dirt road (which by the way is not in bad condition at all).

Peaceful, balm for the soul!

Our hostess was very welcoming with a home-baked plaasbrood and some of the nicest peach jam! We truly loved everything about it. A long drive from CT, so in our opinion, not for only a weekend, but so very worth it. We cycled, walked, spent hours in the very clean and welcoming cold (or hot if you chose) splash pool. Comfortable beds, bedding pristinely clean and fresh. The photos do not do this 'piece of heaven' justice. There is WiFi and it worked well until the services were down in the entire area. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

The Karoo at its magnificent best.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to delay our trip by a month. This was a blessing in disguise. The water damage caused by the recent heavy rains was more than made up for by the abundant flora in bloom. The vast expanse of Karoo solitude and beauty around us was breathtaking. There was also so much landscape to explore. This is definitely on our list of places worthy of a second visit.

Die Karoo soos ons dit ken. Hier kan jy maar net jouself wees. Héérlik!

Skoon lug, genoeg om te doen, heerlike geriewe en sommer net 'n plekkie waar jy naby die natuur en jou Skepper kan wees. Almal sal kan doen met so 'n wegbreek-geleentheid. Dankie vir die bederf!

The Karoo as we know it. Here you can just be yourself. Delicious!

Clean air, plenty to do, great facilities and just a place where you can be close to nature and your Creator. Everyone could do with such a getaway event. Thanks for the treat!

Die Karoo-stilte laat jou jouself weer vind.

Ons is in die omgewing verwelkom met die mooiste Karoo-veldblomme wat glad nie vir die Namakwalandse blomme hoef terug te staan nie! Dankie, Rae, dat ons en ons viervoetkind, Brinksfontein, met als wat ons nodig gehad het, kon geniet! Daai tuisgebakte broodjie en konfyt waarmee jy ons verwelkom het, is beslis 'n wenner. Die Karoo het weereens ons harte gesteel, veral toe ons die oggend van ons vertrek met sneeu begroet is (nou nog spyt dat ons nie nog 'n slapie kon bly nie). Ons het Brinksfontein reeds vir 'n paar gesinne aanbeveel. Tot weersiens.

The Karoo silence lets you find yourself again.

We were welcomed in the area with the most beautiful Karoo wildflowers that don't have to stand behind the Namaqualand flowers at all! Thank you, Rae, for allowing us and our four-legged child to enjoy Brinksfontein with everything we needed! That home-baked bun and jam you welcomed us with is definitely a winner. The Karoo once again stole our hearts, especially when we were greeted with snow on the morning of our departure (still regretting that we couldn't stay for another nap). We have already recommended Brinksfontein to a few families. Until next time.

Stilte, sterre, vars lug. Waarvoor meer kan jy vra?

Rae Myburgh is 'n uitstekende gasvrou wat ons verwelkom het met vars plaasbrood en appelkooskonfyt. Brinksfontein het ons hart gesteel in die 5 dae wat ons daar was. Kilometers ver van mense, heerlike stap/bergklim avonture (pak net ordentlike stapskoene in, tekkies kan ook werk), jy sien die mooiste planteruik en verskillende vetplante eg aan die area. Pragtige murasies rondom ons waar daar skatte rondlê om op te tel. Die Brinkshuisie was so knus en pragtig. Ons het elke aand 'n vuurtjie binne gemaak en lekker voor die kagel gesit en soetwyn gedrink. Elke oggend en aand kan jy 'n heerlike stort geniet wat met gas warm water gee. Die huisie het sonkrag en bied twee krag punte vir die yskas en 'n oulike ysmasjien. Dames kan heerlik hul hare droog maak in die winter. Geen TV nie, maar jy het dit nie noig nie! Daar is WiFi. Geniet die stilte weg van die stad, gaan stap, of lees 'n goeie boek in die sitkamer waar die oggendson jou wakker maak. Ons het heerlike geslaap met warm beddegoed en warm komberse. Buite kan jy lekker sit en braai en selfs sterre sien wat jy nie erens anders so mooi kan sien nie. Die buite-swembadjie kan gestook word en in die winter kan jy lekker warm sit met 'n glasie wyn. Ons twee Schnauzers was baie welkom daar, die plaas is omhein. Hulle het die stappe van 8-10km vreeslik geniet as jy uit die hek loop. Moet nie bekommer oor hout — Rae voorsien sakke en sakke! Bring alle kosse en dranke wat jy benodig. Jy kan nie vinnig "Spar" toe ry nie! Ons gaan sommer nou elke Junie-vakansie gaan so iemand anders moet nie boek nie! Grap net, maar nogsteeeds!

Silence, stars, fresh air. What more could you ask for?

Rae Myburgh is an excellent hostess who welcomed us with fresh farm bread and apricot jam. Brinksfontein stole our heart in the 5 days we were there. Kilometers away from people, great walking/mountain climbing adventures (just pack decent walking shoes, sneakers can work too), you see the most beautiful plant smell and different succulents true to the area. Beautiful walls around us where there are treasures lying around to pick up. The Brink house was so cozy and beautiful. Every night we made a fire inside and sat in front of the fireplace drinking sweet wine. Every morning and evening you can enjoy a delicious shower that gives hot water with gas. The cottage has solar power and offers two power points for the fridge and a cute ice machine. Ladies can enjoy drying their hair in the winter. No TV, but you don't have enough! There is Wi-Fi. Enjoy the silence away from the city, go for a walk, or read a good book in the living room where the morning sun wakes you up. We slept great with warm bedding and warm blankets. Outside you can sit and barbecue and even see stars that you can't see so beautifully anywhere else. The outdoor swimming pool can be heated and in winter you can sit nice and warm with a glass of wine. Our two Schnauzers were very welcome there, the farm is fenced. They really enjoyed the steps of 8-10km when you walk out of the gate. Don't worry about wood — Rae provides bags and bags! Bring all the food and drinks you need. You can't drive to "Spar" fast! We are going to go every June holiday now so no one else has to book! Just kidding, but still!

We had a great time. The place has everything you need. Absolutely friendly hostess.

Rae greeted us with homemade bread It was amazing! What a gem! We loved every moment. We had a great relaxing stay. The house was well equipped and the inside and outside braai areas make it a great stay all year round. The wood-fired tub was a real treat in the icy cold weather once we got it warm enough (tip: start the fire a few hours before depending on how hot you want it, it doesn't take that much wood to warm up). Amazing accommodation with everything needed for a lovely peaceful and private getaway. We will definitely see you again.

Rustigheid vir die siel. Die Moordenaarskaroo klim diep in jou siel en hart in. Jy sal vir seker weer wil terugkeer. Pragtige, ongerepte landskap, mooi natuur en rustigheid.

Die huis was lekker uitgerus en daar is alles wat jy benodig. Ons het lekker warm geslaap en heeldag kaggel gemaak. Pragtige natuurskoon en saligheid vir die siel. Dankie aan Rae vir die lekker varsgebakte broodjie, konfyt en die lekker boeresepie!

The house was nicely rested and there is everything you need. We slept nice and warm and built a fireplace all day. Beautiful scenery and bliss for the soul. Thanks to Rae for the delicious freshly baked bread, jam and the delicious peasant recipe!

Dit was presies die wegbreek wat ons nodig gehad het. Alles was soos bespreek met die gasvrou en ons het heerlik gebly, die verwelkomingsbroodjie en konfyt was 'n bonus en baie geniet en waardeer. Veilig gevoel, lekker gestap en draf op die plaas en verder net gerus en gelees.

Dis ver - ver verby lekker! So in die middel van nêrens en niks is die natuur ongelooflik en kry jou siel rus.

Rustige saligheid. Weg van geraas en 'n helder oop sterrehemel wat vrede bring in jou gemoed. Ons was 6 grootmense, 2 kinders en 'n jong Great Dane, en elkeen van ons het die naweek ongelooflik geniet. Ure se gesels en saamkuier om 'n vuur wat nooit uitgebrand het nie. Staptogte tussen die plante en heuwels. Rustigheid sonder selfone en TV. Braaivleis en potjie maak - en Rae se tuisgebakte brood. Lekker warm gas-geiser stort. Warm slaap met vere-duvet en warmwaterbottel. En nog gesels en kuier en mekaar dieper leer ken. Soos Arnie gesê het "we'll be back!".

It's far - far beyond delicious! So in the middle of nowhere and nothing, nature is incredible and your soul finds rest.

Peaceful bliss. Away from noise and a bright open starry sky that brings peace to your mind. We were 6 adults, 2 children and a young Great Dane, and each of us enjoyed the weekend immensely. Hours of talking and gathering around a fire that never burned out. Walks among the plants and hills. Tranquility without cell phones and TV. Making barbecue and potjie - and Rae's home-baked bread. Nice hot gas geyser shower. Warm sleep with feather duvet and hot water bottle. And still talking and hanging out and getting to know each other more deeply. As Arnie said "we'll be back!".

Rus en vrede. Laai jou batterye hier.

Ons het ons 5 nagte by Brinksfontein baie geniet. Die oopplan huis is lieflik sonnig en die braai/kaggel in die middel van die huis is effektief om die huis in die aand warm te hou. Ons soggens vroeg uitgery om 'n koffietjie in die veld te drink en te kyk hoe die son opkom. Jy kan ook in die veld braai. Die sonsopkoms en -ondergange bied fantastiese geleentheid om foto's te neem. Die sterre is ook natuurlik ongelooflik. Rae se varsgebakte broodjie en konfyt het gemaak dat ons, ons spyskaart vir die eerste aand moes aanpas. Lieflik! Ons beveel Brinksfontein vir seker aan.

Rest and peace. Charge your batteries here.

We really enjoyed our 5 nights at Brinksfontein. The open plan house is lovely sunny and the braai/fireplace in the middle of the house is effective in keeping the house warm in the evening. We drove out early in the morning to drink a coffee in the field and watch the sun rise. You can also barbecue in the field. The sunrises and sunsets provide a fantastic opportunity to take pictures. The stars are also amazing of course. Rae's freshly baked bread and jam meant that we had to adjust our menu for the first night. Lovely! We recommend Brinksfontein for sure.

I've long ago realised that true beauty will not be found around the edges of anything or anyone, one really needs to want to experience or see beauty by delving even further inside the edges, more to the core.

This authentic farm-stay deep in the Moordenaarskaroo provides balm for the soul.

Lovely authentic farmstay deep in the Moordenaarskaroo. Far removed from the troubles of the world. It has everything you need for self-catering - even an ice-maker - and the good Wi-Fi signal is a bonus should you choose to stay in touch. Take your hiking shoes and mountain bikes as there are plenty of farm tracks to explore, and costumes for enjoying the splash-pool-cum-hot-tub afterwards. No matter which side you come from there's a good deal of challenging gravel track to face, and if it's been raining, best go there in a AWD SUV or 4x4.

Brinksfontein was ons altwee se eerste ervaring van die Karoo. Dit was onvergeetlik, ongelooflik en ondenkbaar mooi, kalm en rustig. Dit is presies wat ons altwee nodig gehad het.

Rustige naweek in die sneeu.

Ons gesin van 5 het baie lekker gekuier, gestap, slaap ingehaal en in die sneeu gespeel. Niemand het TV of sosiale media gemis nie. Ons is lief vir die Karoo en vir die isolasie en daarom kan ons Brinksfontein sterk aanbeveel.

Rustigheid.

Was heerlik verras deur warm tuisgebakte brood en konfyt, lekker bottel koue wyn in die yskas. Baie vriendelik ontvang deur Rae en klein Brink. Saterdag het Alwyn en Rae vir ons verder op die plaas gewys waar hulle met uie boer. Die rustigheid was ongelooflik en die vars lug. Geen selfone of iPads heel naweek! Heaven! Die sterre was iets wat mens net van lees.

Brinksfontein was presies wat ons nodig gehad het om te ontspan en die pragtige sterre hemel in die aand te waardeer! Die aandete wat ons bestel het was wonderlik en die potbrood onverbeterlik! Dit was so ruim ons het sommer meer as 2 dae daaraan geëet. Ons het sommer ons 2 dae net daar gebly.

Beautiful, quiet farmhouse where you can recharge yourself!

Brinksfontein was exactly what we needed to relax and appreciate the beautiful starry sky in the evening! The dinner we ordered was wonderful and the pot bread unbeatable! It was a lot, we spent more than 2 days eating it. We spent the whole of our 2 days right there.

Baie gerieflik en rustig.

Ons het die kuier so geniet. Net ontspan en die Karoo se rustigheid ervaar. Ons was baie mooi ontvang en sulke vriendelike mense.

Gerieflik met alles wat nodig is, selfs meer as genoeg sonkragbeligting, elektrisiteit word nie eers gemis.

Brinksfontein is die ideale Karoowegbreek. Die stilte ver van stadsgeruis, stroop jou gedagtes tot rus. Verskote klipgesaaide landskap met sy unieke prag, 'n ywerige fotograaf se droom. Die huis is gerieflik ingerig, en vir die koeler aande is die gesellige binnebraai 'n plus. Die beddens is ook gemaklik, met snoesige donsduvets en kussings. Rae se gulhartige bederf met stomende tuisgebakte brood, en 'n fles koffie, heerlik op die stoep. Wat meer kan mens vra. 'n Baie spesiale "Trip down memory Lane". Baie dankie Rae.

Comfortable with everything needed, even more than enough solar lighting, electricity is not even missed.

Brinksfontein is the ideal Karoo getaway. The silence far from city noise, puts your mind to rest. Displaced stone-strewn landscape with its unique splendor, an avid photographer's dream. The house is comfortably furnished, and for the cooler evenings the cozy indoor barbecue is a plus. The beds are also comfortable, with cuddly down duvets and pillows. Rae's generous treat with steaming home-baked bread, and a flask of coffee, delicious on the porch. What more can one ask for. A very special "Trip down memory Lane". Thank you so much Rae.

Saligheid, vrede en rus vir die siel.

Die twee nagte by Brinksfontein was hopeloos te min. Nou sal ons weer moet gaan. Die afgeleë stilte is net wat ons gesoek het. Ons kon heerlik stap om die berge en vlaktes op die plaas te verken. Die huis het alles gehad wat nodig is, alhoewel 'n stel handdoeke gaaf sou gewees het. Gelukkig het ons ingepak. Ons sal weer kom as dit donkermaan is, want ek moet nog foto's van die Karoo sterrehemel kom neem.

Bliss and peace for the soul.

The two nights at Brinksfontein was way too little. Now we will need to go again. The secluded silence is just wat we were looking for. We could walk around on the farm and explore. The house had everything we needed, although towels would've been great. Luckily we packed. We will visit again when there is no moon, because I need to come and take more photo's of the Karoo's starry heavens.

Die Karoo met sy magiese krag en mooi het ons by Brinksfontein gastehuis ontvang in oorvloed, wat 'n voorreg!

'n Vars gebakte brood het ons met aankoms by Brinksfontein ingewag, heerlik! Liglanterns, sonlaaiers, gasstofie en gas-warmwater het elektrisiteit onnuttig gemaak. Dié plaashuis met sy dik mure was heerlik warm en gasvrou, Rae, het gesorg vir pragtige beddegoed en eetgerei. Ons kuier van twee nagte was te kort, maar het dit terdeë geniet. Sal beslis weer kom kuier.

The Karoo with its magical power and beauty welcomed us at Brinksfontein guest house in abundance, what a privilege!

A freshly baked bread awaited us on arrival at Brinksfontein, delicious! Light lanterns, solar chargers, gas stoves and gas hot water made electricity useless. This farmhouse with its thick walls was deliciously warm and hostess, Rae, provided beautiful bedding and cutlery. Our two night visit was too short, but thoroughly enjoyed. Will definitely visit again.

Ervaar Karoo-hartklop en -gasvryheid.

Ons het bespreek a.g.v. Jan Braai se program en is nie teleurgestel nie. Rea het die ekstra myl geloop met heerlike tuisgemaakte konfyt en Muskadel vir die koue.

We booked because of Jan Braai's program and we are not disappointed. Rea went the extra mile with home-made jam and Muscadel for the cold.

Dit was 'n wonderlike en onvergeetlike ervaring.

Vir iemand wat die Groot Karoo wil ervaar sal jy nie 'n beter plek kry nie. Die gasvryheid en gemak van die verblyf is voortreflik. Ons sal verseker weer gaan en beveel dit beslis sterk aan.

Asemrowende Karoonag.

Die grondpad het soos 'n ewigheid gevoel ... maar elke stukkie die moeite werd. Ons het van kleuters tot tieners gehad en almal sê een oorslaap is te kort. Sal dit graag weer wil doen vir langer.

Breathtaking Karoon Night.

The dirt road felt like forever...but worth every bit. We have had toddlers to teenagers and everyone says one sleepover is too short. Would love to do it again for longer.

Die hoogtepunt van ons vakansie!

Na 'n lang grondpad was dit 'n aangename verrassing om so 'n goed toegeruste huis met alle nodige geriewe te kry. Sal definitief terugkom, veral in die winter en dan sommer 'n paar dae bly.

The highlight of our holiday!

After a long dirt road, it was a pleasant surprise to find such a well-equipped house with all necessary amenities. Will definitely come back, especially in the winter and then just stay for a few days.

Afgesonder en Karoo stilte op sy beste!

Ongelooflike mooi area, afgesonder en stil. Sal volgende keer vir ten minste 4-5 dae hierheen wegbreek. Oorgenoeg stapplek en bergfietsry plek. Huis is baie goed ingerig, en speletjies en inkleurboeke vir kleuters. Roete tot by die huis liefs met SUV of bakkie, 'n gewone sedan sal sukkel. Beplan mooi en vat genoeg eet en drinkgoed, die dorp is ver. Definitief 'n bestemming as jy wil wegbreek na 'n veilige, afgesonderde area met die mooiste Karoo natuurskoon.

Secluded and Karoo silence at its best!

Incredibly beautiful area, secluded and quiet. Will break away here for at least 4-5 days next time. Ample walking and mountain biking space. House is very well furnished, and games and coloring books for toddlers. Route to the house preferably with SUV or bakkie, a normal sedan will struggle. Plan well and take enough food and drink, the town is far. Definitely a destination if you want to break away to a safe, secluded area with the most beautiful Karoo scenery.

Puik verblyf onder die sterre.

Die grondpad soontoe maak mens skepties, maar ons verwagtinge was oortref toe ons daar aankom. Dis mooi skoon, netjies en goed toegerus - mens vergeet skoon daar is geen sein of elektrisiteit nie. Ons sal beslis weer daar gaan kuier en aanbeveel!

Excellent accommodation under the stars.

The dirt road there makes one sceptical, but all our expectations were exceeded when we arrived. It was nice and clean, neat and well equipped ─ you completely forget that there is no signal or electricity. We will definitely stay there again and recommend it!
