Puik.

Ek het onlangs 'n blyplek besoek wat al my verwagtinge oortref het. Die verblyf was eenvoudigweg uitsonderlik en ek kan dit nie genoeg aanbeveel nie. Die akkommodasie was buitengewoon skoon en goedversorg, met 'n oog vir die kleinste detail. Die atmosfeer was rustig en ontspannend, wat dit die perfekte plek gemaak het om weg te breek van die alledaagse gejaag. Die personeel was vriendelik, behulpsaam en het alles in hul vermoë gedoen om my tyd daar onvergeetlik te maak. Die uitsig vanaf die blyplek was adembenemend en het 'n gevoel van pede en verwondering opgeroep. Ek het dit opreg geniet om elke oggend die sonopkoms oor die pragtige landskap te aanskou.

Great.

I recently visited a place to stay that exceeded all my expectations. The stay was simply exceptional and I cannot recommend it enough. The accommodation was exceptionally clean and well maintained, with an eye for the smallest detail. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, making it the perfect place to break away from the everyday hustle and bustle. The staff were friendly, helpful and did everything they could to make my time there memorable. The view from the accommodation was breathtaking and evoked a sense of awe and wonder. I truly enjoyed watching the sunrise over the beautiful landscape every morning.

Baie lekker snoesig.

As jy wil relax en net chill is dit die plek. Het reen gehad en sneeu op ons voorstoep. Mooi lekker koue belewenis. Vir twee mense is die Herdershuis 'n perfekte huisie vir naweek. Netjies skoon en als en nog meer wat jy nodig wil hê. Sal enige tyd weer gaan en hoog aanbeveel. 10 uit 10!

Very cuddly.

If you want to relax and just chill, this is the place. Had rain and snow on our front porch. Nice and cold experience. For two people, the Herdershuis is a perfect weekend cottage. Neat clean and everything and more you want. Would go again anytime and highly recommend. 10 out of 10!

Warmte in 'n koue aand.

'n Yskoue wind het gewaai met ons aankoms. Die kamers loop uit op die stoep en dit was ysig om tussen die vertrekke te beweeg. Al die bonodighede was egter daar en ons het lekker warm geslaap en gestort. Goeie oornagplek as jy op pad is Tankwa of verder.

Warmth in a cold night.

An icy cold wind blew upon our arrival. The rooms open onto the veranda and it was freezing to move between the rooms. However, all the essentials were there and we slept nice and warm and showered. Good place to stay if you are on your way to Tankwa or further afield.

'n Wonderlike plekkie vir 'n wonderlike wegbreek.

Die Herdershuis-kothuis is 'n knus woonplek met alles wat jy moontlik kan benodig. Die binneshuiskaggel is in die middel van die kothuis geleë om sodoende hitte aan die leefarea en slaapkamer te versorg. Die omgewing is stil en rustig met die mooiste sonsondergange. Die warmbad is redelik maklik om te gebruik. Dit het wel lank geneem om warm te word. Maak seker jy stook die vuur al vroeg die oggend.

A wonderful place for a wonderful getaway.

The Herdershuis cottage is a cozy place to live with everything you could possibly need. The indoor fireplace is located in the middle of the cottage to provide heat to the living area and bedroom. The environment is quiet and peaceful with the most beautiful sunsets. The hot tub is quite easy to use. It did take a long time to warm up. Make sure you start the fire early in the morning.

Uitstekende plek om rustig te ontspan en tyd saam kinders te geniet.

Skape om die gastehuis met lammers was 'n groot belewenis vir die kinders gewees. So ook die warmbad op die stoep.

Excellent place to relax and enjoy time with children.

Sheep around the guest house with lambs had been a great experience for the children. So is the hot tub on the porch.

Besonderse lekker bestemming. Pragtige natuur. Boer en seun baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Ons het in die Meulhuis gebly in een van die kamers. Kamer is groot en gerieflik en beddens baie gemaklik met elektriese komberse. Dis goed ingerig vir twee mense per kamer. Ons het nie die tweede kamer gesien nie, maar het wel toegang tot die braaikamer gehad wat groot leerbanke en 'n baie groot binnenshuise vuurherd gehad het. Kombuisgeriewe is basies met 'n mikrogolf en klein mini-oondjie en tweeplaatstofie-'combo' in die eenheid. Mediumgrootte yskas met voldoende vriesspasie. Een tekortkoming is dat daar nie opwasgeriewe is vir skottelgoed nie. Hulle verskaf net 'n waskom (met seep en lappies) wat mens van die badkamerbad of wasbak moet volmaak. Ek het op die ou einde die skottelgoed in die badkamerwasbak gewas. Daar kan ook bietjie meer breekware verskaf word (daar is bv. net 2 glase van elke tipe) aangesien dit nie so gemaklik is om skottelgoed te was nie. Die plaas is 30 km van Ceres af so daar is nie plekke naby waar mens kan uiteet of kos koop nie, so mens moet maar al jou kos saamvat (ek het hiervoor beplan, so dit was geen probleem nie). Kombuisgeriewe is basies maar voldoende vir 'n nag of 3. Een probleem is met loadshedding kan mens niks warm maak nie aangesien hulle nie 'n gasstoof/gasplate het nie. Die Boer en sy seun was baie verwelkomend en gasvry en het ons toegelaat om op die plaas rond te ry en stap. Lieflik om beeste, skape en selfs donkies te sien. My 17-jarige dogter het dit baie geniet! Kinders van alle ouderdomme sal dit geniet. Groot grasperke om te speel. Ganse, hoenders - regtige plaaservaring- nie net vrugteboorde nie. Besonderse mooi area weg van die stad se gewoel en 'n voorreg om op so 'n mooi plaas te kan bly en rondbeweeg. Ons sal definitief weer soontoe gaan! LW: Daar is ander huise waarvan een groot is. Vir 'n groep van 10 mense of so. Ek neem aan hulle geriewe is meer geskik vir langer verblyf m.b.t. kosmaak.

Particularly nice destination. Beautiful nature. Farmer and son very friendly and helpful.

We stayed in the Meulhuis in one of the rooms. Room is large and comfortable and beds very comfortable with electric blankets. It's well equipped for two people per room. We didn't see the second room but did have access to the braai room which had large leather sofas and a very large indoor hearth. Kitchen facilities are basic with a microwave and small mini oven and two plate stove 'combo' in the unit. Medium sized fridge with sufficient freezer space. One shortcoming is that there are no washing up facilities for dishes. They only provide a wash basin (with soap and cloths) that one has to fill from the bathroom tub or sink. I ended up washing the dishes in the bathroom sink. A little more crockery can also be provided (there are eg only 2 glasses of each type) as it is not so comfortable to wash dishes. The farm is 30 km from Ceres so there are no places nearby where you can eat out or buy food, so you just have to take all your food with you (I planned for this, so it was no problem). Kitchen facilities are basic but sufficient for a night or 3. One problem is with loadshedding you can't heat anything as they don't have a gas stove/gas plates. The Farmer and his son were very welcoming and hospitable and allowed us to drive and walk around the farm. Lovely to see cattle, sheep and even donkeys. My 17 year old daughter really enjoyed it! Children of all ages will enjoy it. Large lawns to play on. Geese, chickens - real farm experience - not just fruit orchards. Particularly beautiful area away from the hustle and bustle of the city and a privilege to be able to stay and move around on such a beautiful farm. We will definitely go there again! NB: There are other houses, one of which is large. For a group of 10 people or so. I assume their facilities are more suitable for longer stays in terms of cooking

A neat, clean accommodation which provides everything needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. A quiet, peaceful farm where the sheep roam in the fields in tranquil view of this large house and the kids can play in ample space.

Pure plaas met luukshede. Ons het 'n ongelooflike naweek vol vrede en stilte en huppelende lammers geniet.

Pragtige vergesigte. Lieflike natuurklanke. Ruimte. Jacuzzi in die winter met die sterrehemel bo jou. Groot, warm beddens. Gun jouself dit!

As jy wil wegbreek van al die gejaag en geraas van die stadslewe, dan is hierdie oop ruimtes en rustigheid die plek om te kies.

Het die plaaslewe daagliks waargeneem en het plaasdiere oral gesien, asook verskeie voëlsoorte. Ek was bevoorreg om te sien hoe skaapooie hul pasgebore lammers versorg. Spelerige lammers het my laat skater van die lag. Omdat ek ingevlieg het tot in Kaapstad, het Maryke gesorg dat my eerste dag se kosbenodighede aangekoop word en in die woonstel vir my gereed is. Puik, puik diens, dankie.

If you want to get away from all the hustle and bustle of city life, then these open spaces and tranquility are the place to choose.

Observed farm life daily and saw farm animals everywhere, as well as various bird species. I was privileged to see ewes caring for their newborn lambs. Playful lambs made me laugh out loud. Because I flew in to Cape Town, Maryke made sure that my first day's food needs were bought and ready for me in the apartment. Great, great service, thank you.

Kosbare herinneringe gemaak in rustige, prentjie mooi omgewing!

Die Van der Merwe niggies en nefies het uiteindelik reünie gehou! 18 stuks van ons, waarvan die meeste mekaar 30 jaar laas gesien het! Forgotten Highway was die perfekte "venue", met ons voorouers wat geboer het in die Koue Bokkeveld en winters na die Karoo getrek het met hul vee. Ons het heerlik gekuier en vreeslik baie gesels! Almal was gelukkig met hul blyplek, die meeste kuier het in die Plaashuis geskied. Die aande was koud vir Nov, maar die sterrehemel pragtig! Dankie vir die binne braai wat ons warm gehou het terwyl die manne op die stoep gebraai het. Die elektriese komberse was ook 'n lekker bederf! Daar is vir ons buite stoele en tafels aangedra vir die kuier op die braaistoep wat baie gehelp het, die helfte het hul kampstoele vergeet! Baie dankie dat ons hierdie baie spesiale geleentheid in jul mooi wêreld kon hou, ons neem baie mooi herinneringe saam met ons!

Precious memories made in peaceful, picture-perfect surroundings!

The Van der Merwe nieces and nephews finally had a reunion! 18 of us, most of whom haven't seen each other in 30 years! Forgotten Highway was the perfect "venue", with our ancestors who farmed in the Koue Bokkeveld and moved to the Karoo in winter with their livestock. We had a great time and talked a lot! Everyone was happy with their place to stay, most visits took place in the Farm House. The evenings were cold for Nov, but the starry sky beautiful! Thanks for the indoor braai that kept us warm while the men were braaiing on the stoep. The electric blankets were also a nice treat! Chairs and tables were brought outside for us to hang out on the barbecue patio which helped a lot, half forgot their camping chairs! Thank you very much for being able to hold this very special event in your beautiful world, we take many beautiful memories with us!
