Most enjoyable.

Ideal overnight stop in a tranquil, beautiful setting with a great cottage and everything one could need. Maree was the perfect host.

Great Karoo stopover.

Lovely Karoo sense of place and hospitality. We ordered a delicious lamb shank meal and had a good mid-journey rest.

Vriendelike en baie gasvrye eienaars het bygedra tot ons heerlike oornagstop.

Downes Gasteplaas was 'n heerlike oornagstop oppad Kgalagadi toe. Huisie is skoon en netjies en baie goed toegerus. Die lamspasteie en slaaie vir aandete was heerlik!

Friendly and very hospitable owners contributed to our lovely overnight stop.

Downes Guest Farm was a lovely overnight stop on the way to Kgalagadi. The house is clean and tidy and very well equipped. The lamb pies and salads for dinner were delicious!

Netjiese en rustige akkommodasie met plaasatmosfeer.

Baie rustige atmosfeer op die werkende plaas. Die kamer was mooi netjies en skoon en daar was 'n eetkamer/kombuis beskikbaar waar ons self kos kon maak. Die persoon wat ons verwelkom het, was ook baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Neat and peaceful accommodation with a farm atmosphere.

Very peaceful atmosphere on the working farm. The room was pretty neat and clean and there was a dining room/kitchen available where we could make our own food. The person who welcomed us was also very friendly and helpful.

Volledig tevrede.

Alles wat jy wil hê is daar en in 'n goeie toestand. Die verskil word egter gemaak deur die gasvrou en gasheer en hier verdien Maree en Francois 'n spesiale woord van dankie. Dit was 'n fees om julle te ontmoet. Hou aan met wat julle doen, want julle doen dit uitstekend. Baie dankie en groete.

Completely satisfied.

Everything you want is there and in good condition. However, the difference is made by the hostess and host and here Maree and Francois deserve a special word of thanks. It was a feast to meet you. Keep doing what you are doing because you are doing great. Thank you very much and greetings.

Fantastiese verblyf en rustige atmosfeer.

Ons het die akkommodasie gebruik vir die Vleisfees. Die gasvrou het ons vriendelik ontvang en was alles in orde. Ek kan van geen foute getuig nie. Sal definitief weer daar bly.

We used the accommodation for the Meat Festival. The hostess received us kindly and everything was in order. I can attest to no mistakes. Will definitely stay there again.

Lovely little cottage, private, clean and comfortable.

The owners are very friendly, a lovely couple who made us feel at home. We honestly enjoyed our stay so much despite loadshedding. We would definitely go back and have told our family and friends about Downes Gasteplaas.

Gerieflik, skoon en rustig.

Baie lekker hier oor gebly. Het die rustige plaas-atmosfeer baie geniet. Lekker gebraai. Baie veilig en maklik om te kry. Kommunikasie vanaf die eienaars was puik.

A fabulous stay over on this beautiful farm.

We enjoyed a memorable stay at Downes Guest Farm. Hosts Maree and Francois were very friendly and hospitable. We loved the large farm kitchen where we spent our evening with the indoor fire keeping us warm. The rooms were perfect, each having a light and torch for loadshedding. In the fresh morning we enjoyed running around the farm taking photographs of the windmills, the sunrise and the farm animals. Such a peaceful atmosphere. Perfect for families and children. Many thanks.
