We had a great time at Jan and Karin's place. They immediately made us feel at home. The house is spacious and offers extra amenities that just make it nice, especially if one is going to stay there for a few days. The environment with the gray goats made the stay extra special.

Very comfortable place to stay and good value for money.
What a nice peaceful visit in a big old farmhouse. The house has everything one needs to have a good stay. There's even WiFi if you want to check what's going on in the world. The braai area is also very nicely furnished and ready for a big visit. I will definitely stay there again when I'm in the area.

Tranquility, silence and peace.
Upon arrival we were welcomed as if we had known each other for years. Jan, they are absolute heart people. Typical farm life for us farm lads. While we sit and barbecue, the gray goats walk past you and the turtle comes to visit. The house is nice and spacious for large families or friends who travel together and want to spend the night on a working farm.

Thanks for the honesty, I really struggled with the water due to the main supply interrupted from the roadworks. The water was fixed the next day. We now also realized that the emergency lights for loadshedding does not always switch off. We have made some chances to correct that also. All your inputs help us to make it a better stay for everyone. Thanks again for your support.

Was received like old friends, there were toys for our children, 6 and 3 years old. A cot for our baby, 1 year. We had a great time relaxing and experiencing a bit of Karoo farm life.

Our visit was definitely too short in this peaceful Karoo environment with the beautiful stars and dear host and hostess.
We were warmly welcomed and had a great time in the garden with the gray goats and birds. The surroundings are quiet and peaceful and the farmhouse extremely well maintained and comfortable. We wish them enough rain at the right time and blessing from the hand of the Creator who made this beautiful environment.

We really enjoyed our one night at Grysboomplaashuis. The house has everything one would need and Jan even made sure that wood was available. There is a very nice place to hang out at the outdoor barbecue. Thank you for a very good experience. I recommend the house to everyone, whether you come with a group of 2 or 10.

We had a good time.
The house is big, but not very clean. Very dusty. Aircon in one room did not work. Karen and Jan are very friendly and helpful, came just too much for our liking to see if we were ok. We would have liked it more if they asked on a WhatsApp rather than making so many rounds. The house is comfortable for a family, child-friendly.
