Breathtaking.

The surroundings are beautiful. The room was cozy and even without using the aircon, it was nice and warm. The WiFi is slow and intermittent.

Ontspanne en rustig.

Goeie verblyf met alles wat mens nodig het. Netjies, skoon en alles werk goed. Vriendelike en gasvrye eienaars en kan die plek aanbeveel. Ons is voëlkykers en het dit geweldig geniet.

A very special place to relax and unwind!

A space to get away from it all and connect with yourself and nature. We loved the peace and tranquillity and loved watching the farm life in action. We stayed in the glamping cabin which was clean, comfortable and private with incredible views over the Gourits River and it's spectacular birdlife (don't forget your binoculars). The queen size bed and linen were very comfortable and we had all the amenities we needed. The staff were also very accommodating and friendly. Looking forward to spending more time at this very special place.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Rustige atmosfeer. Goed afgeskakel van die weeklikse gejaag.

Kan die rustige plaas-atmosfeer ten strekte aanbeveel.

Pragtige omgewing, rustig.

Lekker warm geslaap. Heerlike, groot stoep met braai area. Miskien moet die eienaars net meer doen om gaste te laat veilig voel. Aanwysings na gastehuis bietjie verwarrend.

Beautiful surroundings, peaceful.

Nice warm sleep. Lovely, large porch with braai area. Maybe the owners just need to do more to make guests feel safe. Directions to guest house a bit confusing.

Baie lekker, stil plekkie.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier, alles was baie mooi skoon, sal net graag wou he die gasvrou moet meer moeite doen as mens daar aankom, ons het haar glad nie eers gesien nie, die plaaswerker moes ons laat inteken ens.

We had a great time, everything was very nice and clean, I would only like the hostess to make more of an effort when you get there, we didn't even see her at all, the farm worker had to let us check in etc.

Quaint and peaceful farm accommodation.

Really lovely accommodation. Very comfortable, with everything you need for self-catering. The big table outside on the deck was great to socialise around, next to the braai!

Heerlike kwaliteit familityd.

Warm gasvryheid het ons begroet. Heerlike boerekos en die beste malva poeding in die geweste deur Ryna bedien. Kwaliteit familietyd op die dek spandeer en lekker in rivier baljaar op die vlot. Plaasdiere het vir ure se vermaak gesorg en die mooiste uitkyk plekke bo-op die koppe. Sal vir seker weer gaan kuier op die plaas.

Lovely quality family time.

Warm hospitality greeted us. Delicious boerekos and the best malva pudding served by Ryna. Quality family time spent on the deck and enjoying the river on the raft. Farm animals provided hours of entertainment and the most beautiful views from the top of the heads. Will definitely visit the farm again.

Stunning, tranquil, peaceful, awesome nature surroundings.

Staying on the farm was like home away from home, stunning hosts, made a quick stopover, extremely pleasant, cannot wait for the "Caravan Cottage" to be complete. I will most definitely go back to the farm.

As dit donker word kan jy jou verbeel jy is op Sutherland want die Suiderkruis is wonderlik sigbaar, net jy en die sterrehemel.

Rustige plaasakkommodasie.

'n Baie rustige bestemming met al die nodige (dog basiese) om lekker te kuier en baie te stap. Ons besoek was in die winter en sal die bestemming aanbeveel vir herfs of lente (of somer!) om die rivier te benut. Lyk ook of hier 'n lekker kampplek aan't ontwikkel is.

Peaceful farm accommodation.

A very peaceful destination with all the necessary (yet basic) things to have a good time and walk a lot. Our visit was in winter and would recommend the destination for autumn or spring (or summer!) to take advantage of the river. Also looks like a nice campsite is being developed here.

Alle verwagtinge is oortref!

Dit was waarlik 'n ondervinding wat kop en skouers bo die ander uitstaan. Die gasheer en -vrou sorg vir elke behoefte en stap die ekstra myl om jou waarlik tuis te laat voel. Vir 'n gesin met klein kinders is die enigste negatiewe dalk dat die hoofslaapkamer afgesonder is van die kinders se slaapkamer. Daar is soveel aktiwiteite op die plaas wat die kinders so besig gehou het dat dit in elke opsig die beste plaasvakansie is waarvan jy kan droom!

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

All expectations were exceeded!

It was truly an experience that stands head and shoulders above the rest. The host and wife take care of every need and go the extra mile to make you feel truly at home. For a family with small children, the only negative might be that the master bedroom is separate from the children's bedroom. There are so many activities on the farm that kept the children so busy that it is in every way the best farm holiday you could dream of!
