Keurig versorgde juweel, naby aan die N1, ideale oornag verblyf.

Ons het heerlik gekuier! Dis 'n absolute juweel van 'n plekkie, baie netjies en keurig voorberei met aandag aan detail. Ons is verwelkom met 'n heerlike vuurtjie wat hoog gebrand het. Baie maklik bereikbaar van die N1 af, wat dit 'n goeie opsie maak as mens wil oornag op pad.

Well maintained gem, close to the N1, ideal overnight stay.

We had a great time! It's an absolute gem of a place, very neat and carefully prepared with attention to detail. We were welcomed with a delicious fire that burned high. Very easily accessible from the N1, which makes it a good option if you want to spend the night on the way.

Baie lekker rustig en gerieflik.

Dit is die 2de keer wat ons by Jakhalsfontein Guest Farm oorgeslaap het. Die ligging is baie gerieflik naby aan die N1, maar ver genoeg dat mens nie die verkeer hoor nie. Die akkommodasie is baie netjies en gerieflik. Die enigste voorstel sal wees dat daar 'n mikrogolfoond voorsien word en dat daar 'n opwasbak in die kombuisie aangebring word, dan sal die plekkie perfek wees. Die sterre is asemrowend op hierdie plaas.

Very quiet and comfortable.

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at Jakhalsfontein Guest Farm. The location is very conveniently close to the N1, but far enough that you don't hear the traffic. The accommodation is very neat and comfortable. The only suggestion would be to provide a microwave oven and install a sink in the kitchen, then the place would be perfect. The stars are breathtaking on this farm.

Netjiese, rustige, veilige oornagverblyf naby die N1.

Geen kritiek nie. Die rondawel is baie, baie netjies. Alles is daar wat 'n mens nodig het vir oornagverblyf - of selfs langer. Dit is gerieflik naby die N1, maar sonder die geraas. Daar is 'n lieflike plaasdam om in af te koel, maar ons was ongelukkig te laat die aand daar om dit te geniet. Kirsten is die perfekte gasvrou. Sy het tot laat gewag dat ons opdaag en ons is toe bederf met 'n heerlike ete en selfs ook nagereg en vrugtesap. Moet nie die geleentheid laat verbygaan om van hierdie ete opsie gebruik te maak nie. Veilige opset. Ons het die kort tydjie op Jakhalsfontein Guest Farm baie geniet.

Neat, peaceful, safe overnight accommodation close to the N1.

No criticism. The rondavel is very, very neat. Everything is there that one needs for an overnight stay - or even longer. It is conveniently close to the N1, but without the noise. There is a lovely farm pond to cool off in, but unfortunately we were there too late in the evening to enjoy it. Kirsten is the perfect hostess. She waited until late for us to arrive and we were then treated to a delicious meal and even dessert and fruit juice. Don't miss the opportunity to take advantage of this dining option. Secure configuration. We really enjoyed the short time at Jakhalsfontein Guest Farm.

Rustige oornagstop, met pragtige uitsig oor die Karoo.

Perfekte oornag stop, met selfs 'n plaasdam om in te swem. Die lampastei was wonderlik, en die gasvryheid uit die boonste rakke. My klein hond het homself ook gate uit geniet om op die plaas te gaan stap.

Plaasverblyf uit die boonste rakke!

Kirsten is 'n fantastiese gasvrou. Ons het ongelukkig net 1 nag oorgebly en nie vooraf geweet van die heerlike, en baie billikke, aandete wat sy kan voorberei nie. Volgende keer sal ons definitief eerder daardie opsie gebruik. Doen gerus navraag daaroor wanneer jy bespreek. Die plaas self is baie rustig met 'n ryke diere en voëllewe.

Kirsten is a fantastic hostess. Unfortunately, we only stayed 1 night and did not know in advance about the delicious, and very reasonable, dinner that she can prepare. Next time we will definitely use that option instead. Feel free to inquire about it when you book. The farm itself is very peaceful with a rich animal and bird life.

The accommodation was perfect for a stop-over for our family and Kerstin communicated well before our arrival, made sure that we arrived safely and was a lovely host. The lamb pie and malva pudding made for a hearty, warm dinner. We would definitely stop over again.

An absolutely beautiful and peaceful environment.

A perfect halfway spot to rejuvenate and unwind after a long drive. Kirsten was a friendly, welcoming host and offered a hearty meal but we arrived with goodies for a barbeque which we enjoyed in the relaxing and serene surroundings. It rained during the night so the long gravel road leading to the farm was heavily puddled, muddy and slippery the following morning, which made our departure from the farm a bit of a skidding, sliding rollercoaster ride and left our vehicle covered in mud. Fortunately, Kuilfontein Farm Stall was kind enough to allow us to hose down our vehicle. Irrespective of that I would still recommend a stay at Jakhalsfontein.

Baie vriendelike mense. Baie koud gewees.

Plek nie regtig ingerig vir winter besoekers nie. Geen warm water gewees nie. Slegs sonkrag, so die haardroër werk nie. Kan doen met 'n wasbak in die kombuis.

Very friendly people. It was very cold.

Place not really set up for winter visitors. No hot water. Solar only, so the hair dryer doesn't work. Could do with a sink in the kitchen.

Excellent overnight at Jakhalsfontein.

From the unusual spelling of the name to the warmest hospitality one could find, it was a lovely overnight stay. Thanks Kirsten & Michael for the warm welcome, it was lovely after a long day on the road. . The rondavel is lovely with the thatch roof. It is clean, well appointed and ideal for an overnight stay (or longer). There are so many stars at night and it is so peaceful. A lovely refreshing stay - we will be back.

Lieflike ervaring.

Als omtrent Jakhalsfontein is perfek! Lamspastei was heerlik. Vriendelike gasvrou. Die rondawel is goed toegerus, daar is selfs handgemaakte items wat te koop is. Sal beslis weer daar tuisgaan.

Na ’n lang dag se ry was die skoon lug en stappie na die koppie perfek. Ons het baie lekker gebly.

Kirsten is ’n puik gasvrou en die plekkie is netjies en skoon.

Die verblyf en aandete was van hoogstaande gehalte.

Die hartlike ontvangs, uiters netjiese en skoon rondawel en omgewing was onverbeterlik! Die aandete was uiters smaaklik! Beslis ons nuwe oornagplekkie vir die toekoms.

Karoo hospitality at its best.

Wide open Karoo vista, comfortable cottage and the most delicious lamb pie - exactly what we needed after our long drive. If we had managed to arrive earlier, we could have enjoyed a long walk on the farm or even had a relaxing treatment at Kirsten’s spa.

Very basic, but nice location in the middle of the Karoo.

We had a very pleasant stay, unfortunately not the stars as expected due to clouds. Nice stop for 1 night with basic services.
