Very nice setting, cottage with old world charm.
The owner was very helpful, without disturbing our privacy at all. House was neat and clean. It is an old building with thick walls and a very nice cozy kitchen with a large hearth. Firewood was available at a reasonable rate. It is close to Caledon as well as the Heaven and Earth Valley, yet it is far enough off the beaten track to be very safe and very quiet. The 3 km dirt road is nice and suitable for a normal sedan vehicle. The house is completely big enough for 5 people. Very good value for money for 4 or 5 people.

Thank you Joan and Xavier for the care - especially the crates of wood you came and put down so we could make the fire in the cold. We really appreciated your care. The gas stove and geyser were great.

Had a great time.
The absence of hot water was a problem. There are a few gaps though - canopy over entrance needed so you don't have to stand in the rain to open and a little porch on one side to have a shelter to braai or just sit outside to enjoy the beautiful surroundings to consider There is also no table to eat at or play games on if it rains.

A beautiful, quiet and relaxing getaway with picture-perfect amenities and old-world hospitality.
The Koringhuis is a gem. The house is spacious, well maintained and makes you feel at home immediately. In the evenings we could sit next to the large fireplace in the kitchen and socialize and in the morning sit on the spacious porch and marvel at the picture-perfect view over the valleys and mountains. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the freedom offered by the farm did them good. The hospitality of the host family was remarkable - really a fantastic experience. We would recommend the Koringhuis to families with children or couples without children looking for peace and quiet - this was an experience we had not come across many before. We'll see you again soon.

Our weekend at Die Koringhuis was exactly what we wanted - farm, sheep, fields, incredibly beautiful view and the wind through the eucalyptus trees! The accommodation is very neatly furnished and comfortable. Beautiful old furniture that is neatly maintained and a comfortable bed. The fireplace in the kitchen is lovely when the evenings are cool. Neat dirt road (any car can drive there) and so peaceful.

Farm experience but not value for money.
Nice view and tranquility, but for the price one expects a place without cobwebs and dust even if it is an old building. I would think the place should charge a maximum of R800 a night.

Unbelievably peaceful atmosphere with beautiful views and very close to Caledon and Heaven & Earth.
We had a wonderful stay and relaxed in this beautiful historic cottage. Great walks and mountain climbing. Delicious indoor and outdoor barbecue with all the basic necessities. Perfect place to switch off and still close to all the wonderful pastures of the Hemel en Aarde valley. Also so nice and close to Cape Town, we will drive back early on Monday morning and be on time for work which made our little vacation just that little bit longer. Joan and Xavier were friendly and helpful. Wish we could go every weekend.

Simplicity of farm life.
At the end of the dirt road to the farm, on the last bend before the homestead, we stop for a herd of sheep standing in the road and grazing. Slowly we drive through to the homestead where we find the farmer's wife building a stone wall! It was a real homecoming to the farm so straight from my childhood. The house is a simple, detached building next to the farmstead. Probably was a storehouse for years and the structure was probably erected when the French Huguenots landed in South Africa. It has a real old fashioned feel to it. No modern frills here. After the birdsong and morning light woke us up, we received on the first morning a complimentary plate with shallow-baked fat cakes. Together with the butter and farm jam a feast on its own. What a nice start to the weekend. Stroll across the farm or sit on the porch and gaze over the rolling hills. Ride a bike or read a book. This view near the top of Shaw's Pass is breathtaking and timeless. The accommodation too. If you really get tired of the perfect picture, you can take the short drive through the Hemel en Aarde (Heaven on Earth!) valley to Hermanus. But let it go. After the Koringhuis, Hermanus is tinsel gold. The simple life is better. Think about the kind of house your grandmother lived in and you will know what to expect. Iron kettle beds, simple furniture and thick, thick walls that stand at an angle. Each door is different and is recycled from old farm goods. Windowsills are deep enough to sit in. Beds look old fashioned, but sleep well. The bedrooms were clean and tidy. The night dead silent with no roar of cars. Just what one needs after a long day in the city's noise. The farm kitchen is simply equipped, but has everything needed to prepare a meal. No Yuppie Chef here. Adding an apricot kernel floor and a bed in the kitchen is a unique idea. Wish my house was big enough for that! The bathroom is graciously modern and well equipped. A nod to the past is the toilet with the container on the roof and a chain hanging from above. There are no nasty old fashioned cremations here. All water comes from the local borehole and there are no water restrictions here yet. Together with electricity throughout, these are the only signs that one does not find oneself in the years tokea. The small living room/front room was equipped with a fireplace, but it was unused. The kitchen is a lovely place to hang out with its own large fireplace for the cold winter evenings. Outside, a portable braai was done on a wheelbarrow for those who simply cannot live without a little meat on the coals. Bring books, board games and your family. Leave your stress and problems at home. There is an old travelers proverb that leads: "Take twice the money and half the times." Book twice the time and bring half the electronics. Enjoy the real farm life. Oh yes - unfortunately there is cell phone reception on the farm. Turn off the noise and enjoy the silence...
