Hier kan jy weer mens word.

Wat 'n juweel van 'n plek in die hartjie van die Karoo. Pieter was 'n uitstekende gasheer, plat op die aarde, opreg en vriendelik. Sal beslis weer hier kom bly.

Beautiful, restful and serene.

What a fantastic stay! Peiter and his wife were incredible hosts - upon arriving, we had warm farm-baked bread in the kitchen with jam and butter. Nestled in the breathtaking Nuweveld mountain range, this charming guest house offers a serene retreat away from the fast pace of everyday life. From the moment we arrived, we enjoyed the best of the Karoo with sheep in the veld and surrounded by mountains. The farmhouse itself is beautifully maintained, providing comfortable and cosy self-catering accommodations. With three well-appointed bedrooms and a fully equipped kitchen, it felt like a home away from home. The stillness of the Karoo, combined with the stunning landscapes, made for a rejuvenating getaway. If you’re looking for a tranquil escape to recharge and reconnect with nature, I'd recommend Eselfontein Gasteplaas. It’s a hidden gem that perfectly captures the essence of the Karoo, offering not just a place to stay, but an experience to cherish.

Hello Tyrone. Baie dankie vir julle kuiertjie. Dit was wonderlik om julle by ons in die Karoo te ontvang.

Naweek wegbreek van die gewoel.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier op Eselfontein, die wind was 'n bietjie sterk en koud Vrydag met ons aankoms, maar AGA het opgemaak daar voor. Dankie vir die stook van AGA. Die 30 km grondpad na gasteplaas is baie mooi en kan gery word met 'n gewone sedanmotor. Nogmaals dankie vir als, die lekker gesels, en ek sien jou gou weer. Die keer kom ek met die motorfiets, dan kan ons so bietjie gaan ry.

Weekend getaway from the hustle and bustle.

We had a great time at Eselfontein, the wind was a bit strong and cold on Friday when we arrived, but AGA made up for it. Thanks for fueling AGA. The 30 km dirt road to guest farm is very beautiful and can be driven with a normal sedan car. Thanks again for als, the nice chat, and I'll see you again soon. This time I'll come with the motorcycle, then we can go for a ride.

Rustige plaas wegbreek met vriendelike mense.

Ons was bederf met 'n spierwit gesneeude naweek op Eselfontein. Die eienaar en sy vrou het gesorg dat die AGA-stoof die hele naweek lekker warm was, en ons was ordentlik bederf. Ek sal dit beslis aanbeveel!

Rustig, pragtig, lekker plaas verblyf.

Die boer en sy vrou was uiters vriendelik. Ek en my hondekind het so lekker gebly. Na 'n lang dag op die pad en om tuis te kom na vars gebakte plaasbrood. Ek sal vir seker weer daar gaan wegkruip. Die plek is super skoon, alles wat jy nodig het en meer. Baie dankie vir die mooiste aande in die Karoo. Lekker gerus, lekker gestap!

Bederf-kuier in die Rante.

Woorde is te min om hierdie ongelooflike diamant in die hartjie van die Nêrens-Karoo te beskryf. Nie net is die gasvryheid van die eienaars 'n voorbeeld, hulle voel soos familie vir wie jy lanklaas gesien het. Die gasteplaas kry die Michelin-toekenning vir die daarstel van 'n uiters skoon en funksionele oase in my lieflingswêreld. Ek probeer verskonings uitdink om weer te kom kuier.

Words are too few to describe this incredible diamond in the heart of the Nêrens Karoo. Not only is the hospitality of the owners exemplary, they feel like family you haven't seen in a long time. The guest farm receives the Michelin award for creating an extremely clean and functional oasis in my beloved world. I'm trying to come up with excuses to visit again.

Interessant, vriendelik, uitsonderlik.

Hierdie was die hoogtepunt van ons kuier in die Karoo. Ons het net een nag bespreek maar sal definitief terug gaan vir langer. Ons het hier Karoo gasvryheid ervaar soos by geen ander plek. Die uitsig is asemrowend en die huis is 'n pragtige ou plaashuis wat my aan my kinderjare op my oupa se plaas herinner. Selfs heerlike vars broodjies ontvang met aankoms. Die prys is geen aanduiding van wat jy kan verwag nie. Dit is regtig spotgoedkoop vir wat jy kry. Baie dankie vir julle gasvryheid en die lekker gesels en kuier. Julle het sowaar 'n juweel in die Karoo.

This was the highlight of our visit in the Karoo. We only booked one night but would definitely go back for longer. Here we experienced Karoo hospitality like no other place. The view is breathtaking and the house is a beautiful old farmhouse that reminds me of my childhood on my grandfather's farm. Even delicious fresh sandwiches received on arrival. The price is no indication of what you can expect. It's really dirt cheap for what you get. Thank you very much for your hospitality and the nice chat and visit. You really have a gem in the Karoo.

Vars, skoon karoolug. Heerlike plaaservaring. Eselfontein is goed geleë op die Karoo Hooglandroete, slegs 32 km van die dorp Fraserburg af nie. As jy rus en stilte wil hê is dit die plek. Weg van verkeer/stadslawaai en allesoorheersende tegnologie.

Karooplaas uit die boonste rakke.

Netjies en gerieflik ingerig, teen 'n fantastiese berg-agtergrond. Heeltemal veilig en rustig. Die gasheer was besonder hulpvaardig en het my verlore items by my terugbesorg. Ek is baie dankbaar! Dis op die Rantepad, die alternatiewe roete tussen Sutherland en Fraserburg - 'n wonderlike berg-landskap. Iets besonders. Sal beslis weer kom kuier! Die WiFi is die sterkste by die windpomp, maar dit was so 'n "Karoo-ervaring" dat ons dit nogal geniet het!

It's on the Rantepad, the alternative route between Sutherland and Fraserburg - a wonderful mountain landscape. Something special. Will definitely visit again! The WiFi is strongest at the windmill, but it was such a "Karoo experience" that we quite enjoyed it!

Onvergeetbare naweek. Kosbare mense van die Karoo.

Ons is so dankbaar dat ons besluit het om op hierdie plaas buite die dorp te bly vir die naweek van 'n troue in Fraserburg. Ongelooflike mooi area en gasvryheid van die mense hier. Doen jouself die guns en bly vir 'n dag of twee meer as beplan en geniet die Karoo op sy beste. Ek hoop om Pieter hulle en veral sy pa, Oom Piet gou weer te sien.

Volkome ontsnapping van die wêreld. Wêreld van nederigheid.

Ons het lekker gebly by Eselfontein. Daar is 'n storie hier wat vertel moet word. Van 'n stil sterkte en liefde vir die grond. Van die natuur wat jou laat verwonder laat sit in 'n plaaswerf en sterre kyk as jy die nuwe dekade in wag. Wat ook vir my lekker was, was die klein bederf wat daar vir jou wag as jy moeg daar aankom. Heerlike filter koffie, vars brood rolletjies, plaas melk en tuisgemaakte konfyt. Die vreemdste is die hoenders wat hoog in die boom slaap en jou wekker is om op te staan. Die beste is egter om met Pieter te kon gesels en sy wêreld waarvoor hy lief is te kon deel vir tydjie.

Escape from the world. World of humility.

We enjoyed our stay at Eselfontein. There is a story here that needs to be told. Of a quiet strength and love for the ground. From the nature that makes you marvel in a farmyard and watch the stars as you wait for the new decade. What was also nice for me was the little treat that awaits you when you arrive there. Delicious filter coffee, fresh bread rolls, farm milk and homemade jam. The strangest thing is the chickens that sleep high in the tree and are your alarm clock to get up. However, it is best to talk to Pieter and share his world that he loves for a while.

Die plaas huis is pragtig opgepas, skoon en netjies. Maresa se broodrolletjies die eerste aand was 'n treffer! Dis 'n werkende plaas, met skape, lammetjies, swembad en lekker geselsies. Die sundowners op spitskop was 'n belewenis. Baie dankie vir 'n heerlike Karoo-wegbreeknaweek. Sien julle weer binnekort.

Experience Karoo hospitality at its best.

The farm house is beautifully looked after, clean and tidy. Maresa's bread rolls the first night were a hit! It's a working farm, with sheep, lambs, swimming pool and nice chats. The sundowners at peak time were an experience. Thank you very much for a wonderful Karoo getaway weekend. See you again soon.

Vyfster in die verlate Karoo.

Gul ontvang. Verblyf van top gehalte. Baie interessanthede op die plaas vir die stadsbewoner. Jy moet hier kom bly om daardie ontwykende sielsrus op te spoor.

Five star in the deserted Karoo.

Warm reception. Top-notch accommodation. Lots of interesting things on he farm for city slickers. You have to come here to experience true rest for your soul.

Presies wat ons wou hê.

Ons het net oornag, maar Pieter het moeite gedoen sodat ons kon sien hoe word die skape "gedous" die volgende oggend. Lekker warm voor die koolstoof gesit en speletjies speel met 'n bottel rooiwyn. Beveel dit sterk aan.

Exactly what we wanted.

We only spent the night, but Pieter made an effort so that we could see how the sheep were "showered" the next morning. Nice and warm sitting in front of the coal stove and playing games with a bottle of red wine. Highly recommend it.

Kos vir ons siel.

Net die plek om al die bekommernisse van die lewe vir 'n paar dae te vergeet en weer energie uit die pragtige natuur te kry. Pieter het die AGA lekker warm gehou. Die beskuit en warm broodjies met konfyt was 'n lekker bederf. Die staproetes op die plaas was onvergeetlik.

Food for the soul.

Perfect place if you just need to forget about all your worries and get some new energy in nature. Pieter kept the AGA sove nice and hot. The rusks, warm bread and jam was such a nice treat. Unforgetable walking triail on the farm.
