Gawe mense, arriveer eerder bietjie vroeër as later.

Dit is ideaal om weg te breek van selfone en die geraas van die stad, mens moet eintlik langer daar bly om goed te herlaai. Die grondpad is redelik, maar vir 'n gewone sedan sal ek aanbeveel hulle neem die 2de afrit na Nieu Bethesda wat geteer is.

Nice people, arrive a little earlier rather than later.

It is ideal to break away from mobile phones and the noise of the city, you actually have to stay there longer to recharge things. The dirt road is reasonable, but for a regular sedan I would recommend they take the 2nd exit to New Bethesda which is tarred.

Hi Abe! Baie dankie vir die mooi review - en die raad oor die grondpad! Ek stem 100% saam oor die langer bly om regtig af te skakel!

If you love Karoo scenery & hospitality, you will love Doornberg.

I've been visiting Doornberg for many years and it never disappoints. Set on a working farm in the Sneeuberg Karoo, the accommodation is always clean & comfortable, and the service always warm & friendly. The farm is situated about 10 km outside Nieu Bethesda, so it's also a perfect base if you want to explore this quaint little town.

Amazing energy, friendly and super helpful. Makes you feel like family.

Peet made us feel right at home. Friendly, helpful, kind and generous. We loved our stay there and would love to go back again and stay for longer. WiFi only works closer to the main house, but who needs internet when you are in such a beautiful location?

Just amazing .

It was a delight. The host is just most welcoming and showed us the farm. Although we had a burst pipe and there was a lot of water in our booked cottage, he just invited us to stay in the main house and moved us to the much bigger cottage the second night. The cleaning staff was amazing.

Relaxed, peaceful stay in a beautiful setting.

We were pleasantly surprised by the school house. It had everything we needed in terms of kitchen utensils, braai facilities, towels etc. The swimming pool was lovely and the garden was lush. It was fun to walk around and see the farm animals, and the mountains surrounding the farm are magnificent. The best part was how quiet it was. We felt safe and completely relaxed though we were only there for 2 nights and one day.

Rustige retreat.

Doornberg is 'n pragtige plaas met soveel geskiedenis en karakter. Die eienaar, Peet, is 'n ware gasheer. Ons het heerlik gekuier, gestap en gerus. Sal dit beslis aanbeveel as die besigheid van die stad te veel raak!

Die plaas en omgewing is bitter mooi. Verblyf was te duur.

Sal dit aanbeveel, maar dis te duur vir wat jy kry. Dit is eintlik 'n slaap 2 wat 'n slaap 4 gemaak is. Die badkamer is nie op standaard nie. Dit is die rede waarom dit 'n slaap 2 moet wees.

The farm and surroundings are very beautiful. Accommodation was too expensive.

Would recommend but it's too expensive for what you get. It is actually a sleeper 2 made into a sleeper 4. The bathroom is not up to standard. This is why it has to be a sleep 2.

Unusually heavy rains made it a bit of a challenge for everyone due to flooding, power cuts, infrastructure damage etc. No complaints considering the hosts had to deal with very challenging conditions. Would love to go back to properly experience the area.

Bedoel as 'n oorslaap - maar jy het meer as 1 aand nodig om die beste uit die kuier te kry.

Hartlike ontvangs, heerlike plaaswerf, lekker toegeruste kookhoek, silwerskoon. Daar is vir die winter 'n fris gasverwarmer, geen kaggel, lekker onder-die-boom-braai-spot! Vat proviand saam - mens is nie altyd lus om dorp toe te ry nie, 9 km!

Intended as a sleepover - but you need more than 1 night to get the most out of the visit.

Warm welcome, lovely farmyard, nicely equipped kitchenette, spotlessly clean. There is a cool gas heater for the winter, no fireplace, nice barbecue spot under the tree! Take provisions with you - you don't always feel like driving to town, 9 km!

Waarde vir geld.

Die pad na die plaas was interessant, en die plaas-omgewing verrassend mooi. Ons het 'n keuse gehad om 'n groter eenheid te neem as die een wat ons bespreek het, en dié eenheid was pragtig, ruim, netjies en goed toegerus. 'n Swem in die plaas se swembad, gevoed met fonteinwater, was verkwikkend.

The road to the farm was interesting, and the farm environment surprisingly beautiful. We had a choice to take a larger unit than the one we booked, and this unit was beautiful, spacious, tidy and well equipped. A swim in the farm's pool, fed with spring water, was invigorating.

Geskiedkundige prag-plaas.

Die omgewing ten spyte van al die sprinkane was asemrowend, wat 'n lekker plaashuis, met genoeg kamers vir ons groep om te kon kies en keur, ons het heerlik gekuier en die plaas verken met al sy weggesteekte juwele, goed ingerig en ons het niks gekort nie, selfs verskeie keuses van waar om te braai, die manne was in hul noppies. Beslis die moeite werd om meer as een aand oor te bly, verseker 'n moet vir volgende keer. Dankie vir die deel van julle 7/8 geslagte plaas geskiedenis met ons, was net wat nodig was om die stad se stof agter te laat.

Historic gorgeous farm.

The setting despite all the grasshoppers was stunning, what a nice farm house, with enough rooms for our group to pick and choose, we had a great time exploring the farm with all its hidden gems, well appointed and we didn't have anything not short, even several choices of where to braai, the men were in their element. Definitely worth staying more than one night, definitely a must for next time. Thanks for sharing your 7/8 generations of farm history with us, was just what was needed to leave the city's dust behind.

Doornberg Gasteplaas.

Ons het oorgebly in die ou skooltjie eenheid. Hier sal ons beslis weer wil kom oorbly vir langer as slegs een aand. Die rustigheid van die omgewing en die plaas is bekoortlik. Boer Peet was ons ridder op 'n wit perd deur ons te help om twee pap bande te herstel voor ons vertrek. Die mense van die omgewing is hartlik en die akkommodasie was skoon, gerieflik en netjies, dit was 'n vinnige maar heerlike oorbly.

Rustige plaas atmosfeer naby genoeg aan Nieu-Bethesda.

Die kinders veral was baie ingenome met die ou skool wat pragtig omskep is. Peet en Hannelie laat mens baie welkom voel en tussen die perde, hoenders, eende en swembad het die kinders meer as genoeg gehad om hulle besig te hou.

Ons het heerlik by Peet en Hanna gekuier. Die plek is baie mooi en regtig skoon en netjies. Ek kan met 'n oop gemoed die akkommodasie aanbeveel.

Die huis was ruim en daar was voldoende beddens en badkamers om aan almal se behoeftes te voorsien. Peet en Hanna het ook ekstra moeite gedoen om addisioneel 3 gaste te akkommodeer wat op die laaste nippertjie saam met ons getoer het.

We had a great time at Peet and Hanna's. The place is very nice and really clean and tidy. I can recommend the accommodation with an open mind.

The house was spacious and there were enough beds and bathrooms to meet everyone's needs. Peet and Hanna also made an extra effort to accommodate an additional 3 guests who toured with us at the last minute.

Wat 'n wonderlike ervaring in die hart van die Sneeuberge. Beslis die moeite werd weg van die stad en gevul met rustigheid.

Die gasvryheid en ontvangs was uitstekend en alles was goed voorberei vir ons koms. Ons het heerlik gekuier in die rustigheid van die natuur.

Wat ‘n wonderlike oornagfasiliteit vir ons as gesin.

Peet en Hannah is wonderlike mense en het ons dadelik laat tuis voel. Ons het in die “ou skool” gebly en het dit vreeslik baie geniet. Alles was skoon en netjies. Dit was perfek vir een aand se oorslaap vir ons gesin van 4. Wens ons kon langer bly.

Stunning location and comfortable accommodation.

We were lucky enough to stay in the School House for a night. The School House is a stunning old school building that was a working school until 2003. The room still retains some elements of the old school which adds a certain nostalgia to the visit. Very comfortable, clean and neat accommodation. We were very well received by our hosts and had no issue finding the place. Even though we had dinner in town, the kitchen was thoroughly kitted out for those choosing to cook. We would definitely come back for a longer visit next time to take advantage of everything that Doornberg Guest Farm and Nieu-Bethesda has to offer.

Doornberg Guest Farm is 'n juweel en vir seker 'n moet.

Wat 'n lekker wegbreek na Doornberg. Ons het die baie geniet, lekker interessante goed/plaasdinge geleer en daar is baie plek vir 'n 18 maande oue seuntjie om hom besig te hou. Ons het in die skoolhuis gebly, baie netjies en alles wat kan nodig hê is daar. En die Van Heerdens is absolute wonderlike aangename mense. En Nieu-Bethesda het ons aangenaam verras! Sal verseker weer daarna toe terugkeer!

We stayed in the schoolhouse, very neat and everything that could be needed is there. And the Van Heerdens are absolutely wonderfully pleasant people. And New Bethesda pleasantly surprised us! Will definitely return to it again!

Mooi plaas, eienaar baie vriendelik en aangenaam, maar ons verblyf was nie na wense nie.

Die skoolhuisie waarin ons gebly het was baie warm en te naby aan die skaap- en varkhokke. Baie vlieë en geen lugversorging of muskietnette voor ruite nie. Die gebou lyk verwaarloos van buite.

Peet en Hanna het ons so welkom laat voel op hul paradys. Ons en die kinders het baie geleer van die Karoo-plaaslewe in 'n kort tydjie en gaan definitief gou weer kom kuier. Dankie vir die pratige blyplek en al die fasiliteite wat skoon en bruikbaar was.

'n Gasvrye, volbloed Karooplaas-vakansie!

Hierdie gasteplaas, met sy gasheer en gasvrou, Peet en Hanna van Heerden, bied aan die reisiger die geleentheid om die Karoo in sy volheid te beleef. Wat geadverteer word, word voorsien. Peet en Hanna het ons met ope arms ontvang en ons het dadelik welkom gevoel. Die akkommodasie is baie skoon en netjies en al die fasilliteite is in 'n goeie, werkende toestand. Jy kan uitpak, rus en kos maak sonder om jou oor iets te bekommer. En dan is daar die Karoo met sy sterre, sy stilte en sy vrede. Hier kan 'n mens jou kop oopkry en jou hart tot rus laat kom. Vir seker nie net vir 'n een nag se inloer nie ... 'n Mens moet ten minste 'n paar dae hier vertoef.

You can unpack, rest and cook without worrying about anything. And then there is the Karoo with its stars, its silence and its peace. Here you can clear your head and let your heart rest. For sure not just for a one night drop in... One should stay here for at least a few days.

Heerlike kuier op gasvrye Karooplaas.

Ons het heerlik gekuier in hierdie groot ou plaashuis, toegerus met alles wat mens moontlik kan nodig hê. Die eienaars, Peet en Hannah, is baie gasvry! Ons kinders kon heerlik rondhardloop en fietsry op die plaas, selfs kyk hoe die skape geskeer word, mooiste uitsig as mens opstap met die koppie. Let wel dat die grondpad (8,5 km) tussen die plaas en Nieu-Betesda 'n tydjie kan duur met 'n voertuig wat nie 4x4 is nie, maar dis doenbaar!

A wonderful visit on hospitable Karoo farm.

We had a wonderful time in this large old farmhouse, equipped with everything one could possibly need. The owners, Peet and Hannah, are very hospitable! Our children had a wonderful time running around and cycling on the farm, even watching the sheep being sheared, the most beautiful view when you walk up the hill. Note that the dirt road (8.5 km) between the farm and Nieu-Betesda can take a while with a vehicle that is not 4x4, but it is doable!

Het baie lekker oorgeslaap.

Ons het in die ou 'skooltjie' geslaap, baie oulik met al die ou skool 'paraphernalia' nog in die plek. Die kamer is volledig toegerus, als wat jy bv. in die kombuis nodig het is daar. Selfoon ontvangs is skrams tot zero, en daar's geen TV nie. (Net soos ons van dit hou!). Dis 'n lieflike omgewing en die eienaars is baie gaaf. Ongelukkig is die grondpad vanuit die dorp baie sleg, hoewel nie onbegaanbaar nie. Ry maar net stadig.

Unfortunately the gravel road coming from town is very bad, but not totally impassible. Just drive carefully.

Egte Karoo lewe op sy beste!

Na ons besoek van twee dae in die Karoo Nasionale Park by Beaufort Wes het ons die nag op Doornberg die lekkerste geslaap. Doornberg is 'n opregte werkende Karoo plaas met 'n baie interessante geskiedenis. Sal beslis tyd maak om ten minste 4 dae op die plaas te spandeer om al die voetslaanpaaie en veel meer te verken. Peet en Hanna is plat op die aarde mense en baie vriendelik. Ons sal Doornberg beslis aanbeveel aan al ons vriende en families.

Will definitely make time to spend at least 4 days on the farm to explore all the hiking trails and much more. Peet and Hannah are down to earth people and very friendly. We will definitely recommend Doornberg to all our friends and family.

Baie dankie Peet en Hanna.

Our stay was absolutely fantastic. We will be back again really soon.

The owners of the farm were amazing and helpful. The Vlei cottage was the most peaceful place we have been to in a very long time. To be able to sit and relax surrounded by nature and their animals on the farm was brilliant. We would recommend Doornberg to anyone and will most definitely return again.

Stukkie ontsnap weg van die realiteit met alles wat mens nodig het.

Vir twee dae was ek net waar ek wou wees.

Dit was 'n outentieke en getroue Karoo-ervaring!

'n Besonderse plek (huisvesting, plaas, en omgewing) en mense (hartlik en gasvry) waarheen ons graag weer sal wil terugkeer. Baie dankie - met groot waardering!

Lekker skoon groot plaashuis met stilte.

As jy hou van 'n skoon rustige plek om te bly is dit die plek om te bly. Ons het een nag oorgebly en die aand was ongelooflik met die sterre wat so naby is jy voel jy kan daaraan vat. Eienaars baie gasvry. Ons manne is verwelkom met 'n yskoue bier en die vrouens kon kies wat om te drink (kosteloos). Outydse kaggel in die huis werk puik.

A lovely clean farmhouse with peace and quiet.

If you are looking for a clean and peaceful place to stay, this is it! We stayed over for one night and it was incredible, with the stars so close it feels like you can reach out and touch them. The owners are very hospitable. The men were welcomed with an ice-cold beer and the women could choose what they wanted to drink (free of charge). The old-fashioned fireplace in the house works very well.

Saam met die uniekheid van Nieu-Bethesda was hierdie heerlike plaasverblyf 'n holte-vir-die-voet vir enige reisiger en 'n móét as jy lekker verblyf soek!

Ons was oorweldig deur die netheid, gasvryheid en lekker plaasverblyf! Dit was weereens 'n bewys dat om op 'n plaas te oornag die beste keuse is veral op Doornberg! Ons beveel hierdie plek enige tyd aan en sal weer gaan!

Along with the uniqueness of Nieu-Bethesda, this delightful farm stay was a treat for any traveler and a must if you are looking for a nice stay!

We were overwhelmed by the cleanliness, hospitality and nice farm stay! It was once again proof that spending the night on a farm is the best choice, especially on Doornberg! We recommend this place anytime and will go again!

Kid's heaven!

Hospitality in a true sense of the word - it felt like a holiday on a farm. We "kuiered" around tea and home made biscuits discussing South Africa, farming, art and architecture. The children had so much fun with the horses and all the other animals. Awesome home cooked meals. We LOVED it!

Hierdie is 'n fantastiese bestemming en dit word hoogs aanbeveel.

Ek kan Doornberg aanbeveel. Ons het 2 nagte hier oorgebly op pad Kaap toe. Ons het 'n volle dag gebruik om Nieu-Bethesda te ontdek, wat 'n juweel. Ons sal weer terugkom na Doornberg toe. Die gasvryheid was wonderlik.

I can definitely recommend Doornberg. We stayed 2 nights on our way to the Cape. We explored Nieu-Bethesda for an entire day, what a gem. We will definitely stay at Doornbeg again. The hospitality was wonderful.

Beautiful location and wonderfully peaceful. Wish we could stay longer!

The place has an absolute homey feel and the hosts are very friendly. You have all the privacy you could ask for and are surrounded by the love of nature. The fireplace adds a spark to the chilly evenings which is best enjoyed with a glass of red. We loved every minute there!
