Ongelooflike gasvryheid. Dit was 'n ongelooflike ervaring.

Die rustige ongerepte plaaslewe was vir ons wonderlik. Ons het baie lekker gekuier. Heerlik warm gestort in unieke stort onder 'n boom!

Incredible hospitality. It was an incredible experience.

The peaceful unspoilt farm life was wonderful for us. We had a great time. Lovely warm shower in a unique shower under a tree!

Geriewe is keurig ingerig.

Martin and Marina is besonder gasvry, hulle kampeerplek onder die koeltebome is 'n lafenis.

Great and will use the camp site again.

Diections received on WhatsApp were accurate and we were met by the daughter who explained everything to us. Everything was clean and we even got a bag of firewood for our evening braai. Beautiful location and as evening fell, a night sky appeared free of noise and pollution. Great location and very simple but practical.

Quite hot but we had a swim (2x) in the dam. Very quiet at night. Totally rested.

Awesome. Very rustic facilities. Enjoyed it immensely.

As ek naby ander plek kon kry, het ek nie daar geslaap nie.

Dit is 'n lekker plek vir rowwe kampers, maar nie vir 'n paartjie van 70 nie. Die pad is vir bakkies en off-roaders, nie vir karavaan en SUV nie. Die geriewe ook vir jongmense. Die prys vir wat jy kry is glad nie aanvaarbaar nie. Ek het van Gariep af gekom vir R215 per nag met 5-ster geriewe en dan 15 km bakkie plaaspad met rowwe geriewe vir meer as dubbel die prys. Glad nie tevrede met die inligting wat gegee is nie. Jammer maar die informasie is onvolledig.

If I could find another place nearby, I wouldn't sleep there.

It's a nice place for rough campers, but not for a 70-something couple. The road is for vans and off-roaders, not for caravans and SUVs. The facilities also for young people. The price for what you get is not acceptable at all. I came from Gariep for R215 per night with 5-star facilities and then 15 km of bakkie farm road with rough facilities for more than double the price. Not at all satisfied with the information given. Sorry but the information is incomplete.

We enjoyed our brief stay at the campsite. The location is beautiful, and it was great to have the dam to welcome us to cool off in.

Great place to stay for a few days, swimming, walking and relaxing. It's also an option to stay for the night on your travels.

It's probably recommended that you do not arrive in the dark or if you are in a rush as there are 7 gates to open to get to the farm.

Overnight stay on way home from West Coast.

After being subject to a battering by the wind the night before at Kamieskroon we were not prepared to endure camping in the wind again. Our hosts kindly arranged for us to upgrade to stay in the Wagon Shed which made our stay most enjoyable. The Wagon Shed is well configured and has everything that you could need. We were disappointed not to be able to stay longer to experience more of the farm. We would also liked to have camped as the camping sites looked great.

We had the privilege to be the only guests at the camping site for one night. It was a proper farm experience, off the main roads and being able to see stars.

Kampering in 'n Karoo wonderwêreld.

Joosteswerwe was 'n ongelooflike wonderlike ervaring. Ons kinders is by ons kampplek kom haal om die bokke te melk en hanslammers te voer. Die wind het sterk gewaai met aankoms. Dis blykbaar nodig vir die windpompe om die damme vol te kry. Dit het darem later gaan lê. Ons het heerlik in die plaasdam geswem. Die gasvrou het basiese benodigdhede soos melk, koeldrank en gevriesde skaaptjoppies te koop. Vir ons uit Limpopo was hierdie Karoo ervaring baie interessant, besonders en een van die hoogtepunte van die vakansie al het ons net een aand oorgeslaap.

Camping in a Karoo wonderland.

Joosteswerwe was an incredibly wonderful experience. Our children came to our campsite to milk the goats and feed the lambs. The wind was blowing strongly on arrival. Apparently it is necessary for the windmills to fill the dams. At least it went down later. We had a great time swimming in the farm pond. The hostess has basic necessities such as milk, soft drinks and frozen lamb chops for sale. For us from Limpopo, this Karoo experience was very interesting, special and one of the highlights of the holiday even though we only stayed one night.

Karoo - vrede en gasvryheid.

Die kampplek is na aan die natuur, maar nogsteeds gerieflik met kragpunte en baie netjies. Ons sal graag weer teruggaan Joosteswerwe toe.

Verwyderd van die wêreld.

Alhoewel ons slegs een aand gekamp het by Joosteswerwe, was dit voorwaar heerlik. Ons wens ons kon langer bly! Beeldskoon, ongelooflik rustig en afgesonder van die realiteit. Heerlik voëls gekyk ook. Enigste kritiek is dat dit bietjie duur is vir kamp. Ons sal wel graag weer besoek aflê en kan dit hoogs aanbeveel.

Removed from the world.

Even though we only camped one night at Joosteswerwe, it was wonderful. We just wish we could have stayed longer! Breathtakingly beautiful, so peaceful and secluded from reality. Fantastic bird watching too. Only issue: quite expensive for camping. We would love to visit again. Highly recommended.

Karoo-gasvryheid en ervaring op sy beste.

Dit is 'n pragtige plaas. Om net een aand te bly is 'n jammerte - jy het dan net nie genoeg tyd om die plaas te verken en mee te doen aan die interessante uitstappies nie. Goeie hout word voorsien. Moet beslis nie jou eie vleis neem nie: koop van die beste Karoo-skaapvleis en natuurlike soutmengsels op die plaas. Durf die koue, uniek geboude stort by die kampeerplek aan of doen bietjie moeite en stap 'n entjie vir die baie netjiese en ruim ablusiegeriewe met warm storte. Dit sou volmaak gewees het as daar warm storte en warm water vir die skottelgoed by die kampeerplek was. In die wintermaande is dit net te koud om ver te stap daarvoor, maar mens kan seker nader ry ook.

Karoo hospitality and a perfect experience.

It is a beautiful farm. To stay just the one night was a pity - you don't have enough time to explore the farm and part take in the excursions. Good wood provided. Don't take your own braai meat, buy the best Karoo lamb on the farm along with natural salt blends. Try the cold, unique shower at the camping terrain or walk a short distance for the neat, spacious ablution facilities with hot showers. Would have been perfect if there were hot showers and warm water for dishes at the campsite. In winter it is just to cold, but I suppose you could drive there.

Paradys vir 'n stadskind.

Wonderlike gashere. Splinternuwe kampeergeriewe. Die rustieke badkamer op die foto is idillies. Jammer die toilet was nog nie gebou nie en ons moes ver stap na die ou badkamers. Die eienaars en hulle kinders het ons soos familie ontvang. My kinders is getrakteer met die plaaslewe en het die hanslammers tietiebottel gegee, in die plaasdam geswem. Ons het in die nag rondgery en uitgekyk vir jakkalse. So baie gedoen in net een dag. Baie dankie!

Paradise for a city kid.

Wonderful hosts. Brand new camping facilities. The rustic bathroom in the photo is idyllic. Too bad the toilet wasn't built yet and we had to walk a long way to the old bathrooms. The owners and their children received us like family. My children were treated to farm life and gave the hanslammers teat bottles, swam in the farm pond. We drove around at night and looked out for foxes. So much done in just one day. Thank you very much!
