Just what one needs after a long journey.
It has everything one needs. Super neat and an interesting story. We really liked the history of the place. The closed braai area was just a bit difficult to braai in (it smokes a lot). Everything else was perfect!

Wonderful Karoo farm experience.
The most beautiful sunrises and sunsets. It was a wonderful experience. Nice walk around the farm. The house is well furnished. The 'no electricity' was no problem, there were more than enough LED lights available for our 2 nights. The house is equipped with gas fridge/freezer, gas stove, gas geyser etc. On the way home, don't be in a hurry - the road is suitable for a vehicle with higher clearance.

Beautiful area, peaceful atmosphere.
It's a shame we didn't get a chance to taste the much talked about meals, maybe next time we'll be lucky to get the chef there. Note that there is no signal at the cottage and WiFi is available at the main homestead. Had a wonderful sleep, nice fresh and clean bedding. Very friendly reception. Beautiful characterful house and lapa.

Peace of mind
It was great to have the break on the Karoo farm. The stars are absolutely stunning in the evening and the fresh air is fantastic. Riana made an effort to take us on a route that made the farm experience interesting. I had hoped that my children could have a little more direct contact with farm animals for a nice farm experience, but that is not what the accommodation offers. The house was clean and comfortable. I do think the price is a bit high compared to other accommodations. But in short, it was a very nice experience.

House is cracked everywhere and very basic for what you pay. They were also busy with repairs and started hacking at the wall of our bedroom at 8 o'clock in the morning.
