Ongelooflik. Verblyf in die sink huisie was ongelooflik. Dit is die stilste, saligste plek om te rus na 'n lang dag op die pad. Ons sou selfs 2 nagte daar kon spandeer net omdat dit so cool is.

Die tannie is lieflik en deel allerhande interessante dinge oor die geskiedenis van die omgewing. Regtig baie lekker gewees!

Unbelievable. Staying in the zinc house was amazing. It is the quietest, most blissful place to rest after a long day on the road. We could even spend 2 nights there just because it's so cool.

The aunt is lovely and shares all kinds of interesting things about the history of the area. It was really fun!

It was good. We walked for hours on end.

It is truly a Sinkhuisie. It's comfortable. When it's cold you freeze, when it's hot you cook. If it ever rains, it will be wet. Surroundings are the most isolated and peaceful ever.

Die oulikste huisie in die natuur.

Ons het heerlik gebly in die sinkhuisie en was bang dat dit te koud sou wees, maar het baie warm en snoesig geslaap nadat ons lekker op die stoep gesit het en vleis gebraai het terwyl ons die maan en sterre bewonder het. Die honde het dit ook vreeslik geniet om buite rond te hardloop. Die huisie het alles gehad wat nodig was en ons sal graag op 'n gereelde basis soontoe wil gaan om te ontspan en terug te kom aarde toe.

The cutest little house in nature.

We had a wonderful stay in the tin house and were afraid that it would be too cold, but slept very warm and cozy after sitting on the porch and grilling meat while admiring the moon and stars. The dogs also really enjoyed running around outside. The cottage had everything we needed and we would love to go there on a regular basis to relax and come back down to earth.

Vrede in byna verlatenheid.

Ideale wegbreekhuisie op die Karoovlakte. Basies, maar voldoende om gemaklik en tevrede off-grid oor te staan.

Peace in near desolation.

Ideal holiday home on the Karoo plain. Basic, but sufficient to stay off-grid comfortably and contentedly.

A true gem in the karoo.

A really great place to go if you just want a break from the busy city life. When me and my wife arrived at Die Sinkhuisie we were pleasantly surprised. It was a lot nicer than we thought. The owners really made it as nice as possible and we really enjoyed our stay at Die Sinkhuisie.

Lekker gekuier op 'n karoo plaas.

Ons het baie lekker gebly en die plaas atmosfeer was heerlik ─ selfs 'n paar springbokke naby die huis gesien. Alles wat jy benodig is daar en dit was baie gerieflik. Ons beveel definitief die huisie aan. Al wat gepla het was die 5 dooie geitjies wat in die huisie gelê het.

A good time on a karoo farm.

We had a great time and the farm atmosphere was wonderful ─ even saw some springbok near the house. Everything you need is there and it was very convenient. We definitely recommend the cottage. All that bothered were the 5 dead geckos lying in the house.

A Karoo isolation experience.

Die Sinkhuisie is very rustic however quaint and clean. If it's a Karoo farm experience you are looking for this is it. Complete isolation, completely quiet and magnificent skies.

Ons was vriendelik ontvang deur Cora. Ons het die plekkie baie geniet.

Off grid, geen foonopvangs, net jy en die natuur. Baie lekker geslaap. Dit tel beslis onder 'n ervaring, meer as net oornagverblyf.

Wat 'n unieke, aangename ervaring, veral op een van die koudste nagte in die omgewing.

Die sinkhuisie was baie spesiaal vir ons, alhoewel dit nie in almal se smaak sal val nie. Alle noodsaaklikhede is daar en die donkie se water was nog lekker warm na 'n yskoue nag sodat ons lekker kon stort voor ons verder gegaan het.

What a unique, enjoyable experience, especially on one of the coldest nights around.

The tin house was very special to us, although it will not be to everyone's taste. All essentials are there and the donkey's water was still nice and warm after a freezing cold night so we could have a nice shower before we went on.
