A special Karoo experience.
We had a great time at Ganora guest farm! Hester, JP and their team go out of their way to offer a unique Karoo experience. We went for a walk on the farm, watched birds and learned about the fascinating fossils. We were also able to visit Nieu-Bethesda and Graaff-Reinet. We would love to come again!

Very nice people who go the extra mile to help and make you feel at home.
They really made us feel at home and even washed and dried our swimming towels after a storm left everything soaking wet. However, I am of the opinion that it is too expensive for the accommodation that is offered. Small kitchen with very basic amenities. Very small living room. The dining table and chairs on the veranda were only for 4 people. The porch overlooks the farm shed and sheep pens. There is a lot of activity around the accommodation in the early morning and late afternoon, if you want a place for seclusion it is not ideal. The dogs that come to visit are very friendly, but sleep on the patio chairs at night which leave them full of dog hair.

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer. Ons sien altyd kritiek as 'n manier om iets uit dit te leer. So ons waardeer regtig jou terugvoer.
Ek is vreeslik jammer dat julle die ergste hael storm in ons 25 jaar op die plaas moes beleef, 20mm in 10 minunte. Volgens die navorsers is dit die ergste ooit. Die baie reen daarmee saam was seker nie vir julle lekker om so gedwing te word om so baie tyd binneshuis te moes spandeer nie. Gewoonlik is ons gaste baie aktief en doen die toere, geniet die swembad, volg die staproetes of fietsry roetes en sommige neem deel aan van die boerdery aktiwiteite.
Die kombuis het 'n 4 plaat stoof en oond sowel as lou oond, mikrogolf en yskas. Alhoewel ons die kombuis het eet meeste mense by die eetkamer. Ek sal verseker gaan kyk wat ons op meer kan verbeter. Die tafel en bankies word verkoop as 'n ses sitplek, maar ek neem aan met 3 of 4 groot tiener seuns kan dit dalk 'n probleem wees en alhoewel dit die eerste klagte is wat ons gekry het daarvan, het julle ons ons gedagtes laat gaan oor dit. Ons gaan die gemakliker stoele op die stoep wegneem en 'n langer groter tafel kry. Dit los dan sommer die probleem op as ons honde geheg word aan kinders wat hulle baie bederf en Lulu daar wil slaap.
Ek is vreeslik jammer as julle die werkers in die kraal wat 65 m na benede van kothuis geleë is, steurend gevind het. Omrede ons nog nooit 'n klagte oor dit gehad het, sal ons van nou af verseker oplet dat hulle nie te vroeg daar begin woeker nie. Gelukkig is dit min wat hulle die krale moet gebruik. Gewoonlik geniet die mense dit om daar bo op die stoep te sit en die werksaamhede van 'n werkende plaas te bekyk.

Had a wonderful visit on the farm. We were the only guests on the farm and the owner therefore upgraded us to the cottage. Very comfortable rooms and beds, fully equipped. We received a delicious dinner on our porch and looked at the starry sky until late at night. Our 3 year old enjoyed swimming, feeding the lambs and walking around. Breakfast was delicious and the service friendly! Would recommend Ganora to anyone and definitely want to visit again in the future.

Oasis in the bush.
An oasis in the bush. Terrible roads (from Nieu-Bethesda's side anyway) but worth it. Neat and comfortable rooms (with heaters and electric blankets!); delicious food in a restored house from the time of the 1820 Settlers, you feel at home. We just stayed there because we wanted to get Nieu-Bethesda's Owl House from our bucket list; but we returned for the wonderful accommodation, walking trails, fossils, rock art, mountain biking trails and more.

Fantastic farm stay with friendly hosts.
What a joy to be received by JP in Ganora. We were kindly treated all through our stay and the staff are all courteous and professional. Such a privilege to be on, and experience, a working farm.

Lovely experience with our kids.
Children had an opportunity on arrival to give the lambs milk. Was very special! Delicious meals and had a nice swim in the swimming pool. The room was beautifully neat. Everyone on the farm is friendly.

Little gem hidden in the Karoo.
It's actually a sin to stay just one night. Friendly reception - great time on the farm. Any child who wants to discover things is a dream!

A wonderful rest experience after a long day's travel.
Ganora was great! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet place to stay on their way to the Cape. I would like to stay longer to experience the hiking trails on the farm and the fossil talk. I hope to be able to go home there again.

Hospitable, friendly and sociable. Delicious dinner and breakfast. Well equipped accommodation. The private fossil collection is a must see - it's excellently explained by the host. We want to go back again to walk there and see fossils in the field for ourselves.
