Finchley is a beautiful oasis. We cycled through the Baviaanskloof and were immediately able to cool off in their swimming pool. The rooms were well appointed, nice and cool. Feel free to make use of the delicious dinner and breakfast. We took breakfast packs which we ate on the road. This was a highlight of our drive on the way to McGregor.

We slept well at Finchley Farm. The people are very friendly, helpful and love children. Our children had fun cycling on the farm and playing on the climbing frame. The highlight of the evening was for sure the delicious, home-cooked food that was served in our little house on a freezing cold evening. And of course the fireplace and warm blankets on the beds!

Hello Surita,
Dankie vir u terugvoering
Die economy kamer is eintlik maar 'n "budget kamer " so die gerief van spasie is maar besperk. As 'n persoon meer spasie soek sal die "large cottage" 'n beter opsie wees as dit beskikbaar is.
Ek dink die naam "economy room" is selfspreukend.
Ek glo die goeie gehalte mattresse het darem vir 'n goeie nag rus gesorg.
Dankie vir die ondersteunding en onthou om die large cottage te bespreuk met julle volgende kuier.
Alles wat mooi is vir 2023

Didn't feel welcome at all.
Upon our arrival the room key was wanted. TV remote was not available. Hostess had to fetch one in another room which was of no use anyway as the TV was snowing so much we couldn't see anything. Ice container with ice in it was dirty and moldy. Shower floor and walls were dirty. Bathroom light was not covered. It looked like maintenance had been done and things had just been left in the bathroom. Also when we booked through the website we asked for bed and breakfast. Breakfast was not included which was quite disappointing.

Ek is jammer vir die ongerief. Ek het al die klagtes nagegaan en dit uitsorteer. Ek het ongelukkig nie die TV syn nagegaan nadat 'n ma met klein kinders die vorige aand daar oornag het nie.
Die bedrag van R680 sluit ontbyt uit. Indien u ontbyt wou hê, was dit R80 extra per persoon. U het dit nie bygetel met u bespreking nie.
U het my gevra of ontbyt ingesluit was en ek het gevra hoeveel u betaal het, en gesê die bedrag van R680 sluit ontbyt uit.
Ek het gevra of u ontbyt wou hê, maar u het nee dankie gesê

Overpriced, underserved
The website's photos totally misled us. Our "econo room" was a back room at the house and the housemates and guests kept us up late at night. Our car was parked quite a distance away and we had to carry all our luggage up to our room because we didn't feel safe leaving it in the car for the night. However, the room was neat and clean, but cramped with only single beds. For TV, you depend on what the people in the house are watching. No plates or cutlery. Nails fall from the ceiling and the toilet's water tank lid gapes open. Our so-called "econo room" in no way compares to Klondike Lodge at Vryburg where for R20 more per night we got a spacious room with double bed, kitchenette and spacious bathroom plus independent TV. A self-help breakfast and carport right in front of our room was included in the Klondike price. Finchley Farm Cottages is located several miles up the dirt road outside of Willowmore.

Good option for family who want to sleep over without problems.
Close to town and easy to find. Car can be parked close to door and security was no problem.

Peaceful Karooplaas accommodation.
Nice place to sleep on a working Karoo farm. Authentic accommodation with everything you need. Close to town if you suddenly need something.

Clean and comfortable for children.
Hospitality, shower's cold tap didn't work. Water is scarce so we had to bathe. Bathed whole family in one bath. Was a bit inconvenient but it's only one night. Place very well furnished. Lots of spiders but that's also OK.

Dear Alicia.
I am sorry if I came across as unfriendly. Not sure what happened before you arrived but it was not you. I truly apoplogise for that. Our guests are very important to us and I am always very happy to see people who come to Finchley farm.
Regarding the air-con being an optional extra. We just felt it was more fair for other guests who might arrive later when its cooler or later in the year as some could use it and others not and then they are paying for something, they never used. Trust you understand.
Keep well
Joanne

Die buitengewone warm dae is getemper met goeie lugversorging en 'n swembad- ons het die wonderlike Karoo atmosfeer ingesuig.

The exceptionally hot days were tamed with good aircon and a swimming pool - we drank in the wonderfulness of the Karoo region.
Despite the fact that we chose the three hottest days 39°, 44°, 37° (the days before and after were 25° and 23°), it was an excellent experience. The exceptionally hot weather limited our activities but even so I saw 35 bird species. The evenings were lovely and balmy and the aroma of thornwood was special. The bigger living unit suited us well as it had lots of room (especially because it was so hot outside). New Years Eve the host and his family invited us to join them on their annual night ride to see the fireworks on the koppie with Willowmore's lights in the distance. It is a sheep and hunting farm and there is a lot of game. The hostess and her husband are real English farmers with the typical warmth of the Karoo farmers. We would like to return but apparently April is the best time weather-wise and also bird-wise.
