Very nice, will definitely go again. Even in the freezing cold we stayed very warm. Host makes you part of the farm and what they do daily. I will visit again.

Baie lekker, gaan definitief weer. Selfs in die ysige koue het ons baie lekker warm gebly. Gasheer maak jou deel van die plaas en wat hulle daagliks doen. Ek gaan weer kuier.

Warm Karoo hospitality and delicious freshly baked bread quickly melt away the cold. We were warmly welcomed and the host first talked about farming matters. The cottage is comfortable and is situated in a beautiful setting. It is probably the washing line with the most beautiful view!

Warm Karoo-gasvryheid en heerlike varsgebakte brood het die koue sommer vinnig. Ons is vriendelik ontvang en die gasheer het eers boerderysake gesels. Die huisie is gerieflik en is in 'n pragtige omgewing geleë. Dis seker die wasgoedlyn met die mooiste uitsig!

A great experience in the Great Karoo. We were greeted with a basket filled with freshly baked breads, homemade jam and farm butter. It was delicious. We were mesmerised by the beautiful landscape, vastness and peace. The mountains and rocky outcrops make you think you're on a different planet when driving to and through the farm. You always read/hear that people from the Karoo are friendly, salt of the earth, grateful people - the hosts are no exception. Thank you for welcoming us onto your farm and making us feel at home.

Tranquility; natural beauty is absolutely food for the soul. Accommodation was very nice, host was very friendly and went out of his way to make us feel at home. Bread that his wife baked was delicious. Slept wonderfully. Everything was very neat, nature was breathtaking. Host invited us to ride together on Saturday, enjoyed stories about the farm and sheep very much.

Rustigheid; natuurskoon absoluut kos vir die siel. Verblyf was baie lekker, gasheer was baie vriendelik en het uit sy pad gegaan om ons tuis te laat voel. Broodjie wat sy vrou gebak het was heerlik. Het heerlik geslaap. Alles was baie netjies, natuur was asemrowend. Gasheer het ons Saterdag saamgenooi om saam te ry, het stories van die plaas en skape baie geniet.

Lovely getaway on a working farm and open spaces to walk to your heart's content. Wish we could have stayed a month! It almost feels like visiting family with fresh bread on arrival and a well-equipped house. We relaxed wonderfully and spent hours walking in the fields watching the sheep and lambs.

Heerlike wegbreekplek op 'n werkende plaas en oop ruimtes om na hartelus te stap. Wens ons kon sommer 'n maand bly! Dit voel amper soos om by familie te kuier met vars broodjies met die aankoms en 'n goed toegeruste huis. Ons het heerlik ontspan en vir ure lank in die veld geloop en die skape en lammetjies dopgehou.

Real Karoo experience. Eselfoten Gasteplaas offers a true Karoo experience. It is well equipped and offers everything one needs for a pleasant and comfortable stay. The host has a passion for the Karoo and its people, and this is part of the wonderful experience of travelling through it.

Egte Karoo ervaring. Eselfontein Gasteplaas bied 'n egte Karoo-ervaring. Dit is goed toegerus en bied alles wat mens benodig om lekker en gemaklik te bly. Die gasheer het 'n passie vir die Karoo en sy mense, en dit is deel van die wonderlike ervaring om hierdeur te reis.

A piece of heaven in the Karoo. We arrived at Eselfoten as a bunch of city dwellers: hungry for the peace and quiet of the Karoo, and we left with the most delicious lamb and with the feeling that we had become family in a matter of 10 days. The house has everything one could need, but the view and stars and hospitality are far beyond expectations. We were even invited to visit and braai with the people of the area on New Year's Eve in their special way and place. Thank you Pieter and family and even the area, we are terribly spoiled.

'n Stukkie hemel in die Karoo. Ons het aangekom op Eselfontein as 'n klomp stadsjapies: honger vir die stilte en vrede van die Karoo, en ons is daar weg met die allerlekkerste lam en met die gevoel dat ons in 'n kwessie van 10 dae familie geword het. Die huis beskik oor alles wat 'n mens mag nodig hê, maar die uitsig en sterre en gasvryheid is ver bo verwagtinge. Ons is selfs genooi om oujaarsaand saam die omgewing se mense op hulle spesiale manier en plek die nuwe jaar in te kuier en te braai. Dankie Pieter en gesin en selfs omgewing, ons is vreeslik bederf.

Two nights of sheep, sun and deep Karoo. Delightful. Lovely. This is a real working farm and you can get around it as you wish.

Lovely. Quiet. Karoo in all its glory. An old house on a sheep farm, dear. To stay in the middle of the Karoo in a beautiful old farmhouse that is over 200 years old, to be alone in the veld, to have a fire and experience the most beautiful sunset, is a privilege and a great pleasure. It is much better than a guesthouse in a town. Eselfoten is a discovery. If you can, stay there for a few nights and enjoy the silence of the Karoo.

Lieflik. Stil. Karoo in al sy prag. 'n Ou huis op 'n skaapplaas, beste. Om in die middel van die Karoo in 'n pragtige ou boerewoning te bly wat meer as 200 jaar oud is, alleen in die veld te wees, om 'n vuur te kuier en die pragtigste sonsondergang te beleef, is 'n voorreg en 'n groot lekkerte. Dit is veel beter as 'n gastehuis in 'n dorp. Eselfontein is 'n ontdekking. As jy kan, bly daar vir 'n paar aande en geniet die Karoo se stilte.
