A place for evenings to remember.
We chose DeSkaap as an overnight stop during a recent 5-day cycling tour through the Overberg region. It was our last night and the perfect place to end the week. The houses are comfortable and well furnished. The setting is wonderful; dead quiet, with a wide view of the farm, the pond, the sheep coming to the fold. Good for the soul. The customer service was prompt and the few requests we had were carried out immediately.

Batteries fully recharged and ready for the "Ratrace" for the next few months. Definitely know where I will be going for my next recharge session. Good to use as a base camp to explore the area. Extremely friendly people.

Fantastic.
Freda, thank you very much for your friendly welcome. We were a group of 12 adults and two toddlers. Upon our arrival, we immediately felt the warm welcome. What a beautiful view and the tranquility. The cottages were absolutely fantastic and yes everyone can't stop talking about how well they slept (beds fantastic). The two toddlers pretty much enjoyed themselves and were up early the next morning to feed the goats with the "uncle". We as a group are only very sorry that we only slept over one night but next time definitely 2 or more nights.

We were a small group that could stay nice and close to each other, but still have our own privacy. The cottages have everything we needed and much more. Beautiful lawns. Our kids just wanted to stay longer! Freda was very pleasant and we will definitely visit again soon!

Very nice and very quiet.
Was a nice weekend for us. The braai area is fantastic and the cottage has all the necessary crockery too. The only thing that bothered me was the water, I assume the pressure in the pipes was not too great. Otherwise no problems from our side. Thank you very much again.

Lovely space, beautiful view (we had rain all weekend and Jan Frederik Huisie's beautiful view and house space made up) we could walk everywhere if we could.

It was very nice and peaceful, without any TV etc.
The facilities are very neat and clean, all bedding, cutlery to pots and pans, even black pots are provided. The location of De Skaap is such that we could take trips to different places every day, such as e.g. Struisbaai and Waenhuiskrans, both about 50 km away, Pearly Beach about 40 km or just go out to eat in Napier, 4 km away. In the evening we could quietly light a barbecue fire, with wood provided, and enjoy a nice glass of wine bought from nearby wine estates. The stay was really good value for money and very pleasant.

Oh, that was so nice. The hostess really went to extra lenghts to make it possible for us to braai despite the bad wind (and the firewood and lighters were provided!) Beautiful and tasteful apartment. All that is needed is there. Will definitely go again. The lapa would be perfect for a group.

Small single rooms definitely for single person or couple, but have larger houses ideal for weekend getaways.
Very nice and well located, houses are a bit close to each other, need a bit more privacy. Very neat and clean and well equipped, big houses definitely nice for family and friends to get away for a nice few days. Definitely very hospitable.

Thank you Sielja for your friendliness and hospitality. We enjoyed our stay in the Jan Frederik house so much. The accommodation was very neat and clean. The house is so spacious that even with 6 people it never felt like we were in each other's space. Truly a home away from home. Whenever we return to Napier we would make use of your accommodation again.
