Comfortable, picturesque, tranquility.
Very nice stay in the big farmhouse. The house is like a time capsule. We have 3 children under 6, 1 of which is a small baby. The older brothers almost enjoyed themselves with the open field freedom. The house has a lot of space and is nice and cool when it's very hot. The bedding is cuddly and the towels dry nicely. The water from the shower head squirts out deliciously. There is also a small honesty rack inside the house with dry sausage, biltong, jam and spices which was really cute that we could buy from. The swimming pool is just behind the house, locked, so the youngsters were safe when we were busy inside the house. We would recommend Joosteswerwe to anyone who wants to escape city life and who is not afraid of proper rest, dirt road, silence and little to no cell phone signal.

Blissful stay away from it all in the middle of the Karoo.
The 14km dirt road to Joosteswerwe Guest Farm is well worth it to get to the gem. We were given up to two bags of firewood to ward off the cold by the indoor fireplace, were also privileged to see sheep shearers in action, just blissful to go for a walk in the field and come back to an extremely neat farmhouse with all possible amenities.

The hospitality was top notch. The dirt road to the farm is long, but in good condition, you have many gates to open. As soon as you arrived at the farm, it was all worth it. We stayed in the outbuilding which was redone, everything in our home was beautiful (rustic feel) and there was even a dishwasher, couldn't believe it. The swimming in the farm dam was different for the kids (the water was clean though). The best were the stars at night, with the clean air and distance from the town lights it was something to experience. Would have liked to have stayed longer.

Disappointing.
Beautiful on the outside but impractical on the inside. Kitchen top way too narrow. No table with chairs. Must sit on lap and eat. Stairs to the top beautiful but dangerous. Spacing too narrow and certainly does not meet health and safety requirements. Induction stove very complex to operate without any manual. Sink impractical. Automatic dishwasher? Where is the special laundry soap? Who uses it for overnight purposes? Shower floor bitterly cold in winter. No rubber mat. Spout also half clogged. Water dams up. The sliding door in front of bathroom is very heavy and difficult to move so you have no privacy. Access road after rain inaccessible to sedan cars. Took us 45 min to get from guesthouse to tarmac in daylight with a 4x4. Many gates to open. Not suitable for overnight purposes.

The owners are extremely hospitable and our cottage was beautiful, comfortable and clean. Older people and those who have difficulty walking should preferably book the other accommodation as the cottage has a very steep staircase (must tread carefully on the way down). The braai area is lovely with a nice view. Their chops are lip-smacking - some of the best we've ever eaten.

An exceptional experience
What an amazing experience far away from the city and noise. We stayed in the old Wa homestead and it was incredibly well equipped. Our hostess was very friendly and helpful and with good communication we easily reached the place. I do regret that we could not stay longer to experience the farm activities. Something that should be taken into account when you visit the farm is that it is 14 km of dirt road from the tarmac road and that there is also no signal. At night it is also pitch black, so if you turn on the light in the room, all the bugs come there.

Overnight on the way from West Coast to Gauteng.
The building inside and out is beautiful. It does not have air conditioning and can therefore get hot in the summer. The owner can pay attention to some small details to make it more comfortable, but we had a nice stay and really enjoyed swimming in the farm pond. Away from everything, even cell phone on catch. Saw springbok and red hearted cattle on the farm.

Karoo farm bliss.
We slept at Joosteswerwe on the way to the West Coast. The location is ideal for travelers from Gauteng. The guest house is about 12km of well-maintained dirt road from the main road, but it ensures that genuine Karoo farm experience with kilometers of views over the plains and not another soul in sight. Marina received us with hospitality, and communicated several times on WhatsApp to hear how our trip was progressing, and also the next day to make sure everything was in order and we were on our way safely again. One thing to consider is that the whole area between Vosburg and Carnavon has poor Vodacom reception.

Joosteswerwe is 7 farm gates away from the tarmac. It was a total getaway with little to no signal, which was great. The farm pond was delightfully cool and a big bonus. We stayed in the barn unit and it was really comfortably furnished especially the attention to detail (small dishwasher, etc.). We were very warmly received and felt very welcome. If you are really looking for silence and seclusion this is the place for you. Definitely a gem in the Karoo! We will definitely visit again.

This place and its hostess were a lovely surprise. We were warmly welcomed with mutton for our barbecue, which we ordered before the trip from the hostess. We stayed in the carriage house which has been beautifully restored with lots of modern touches. The farm pond swimming pool was a wonderful escape after the long, hot travel day. The braai area had plenty of wood and we could sit and watch the sun set over the Karoo. We will definitely stop here again and for longer reasons there was so much worship that we couldn't fit in. Thank you so much for this beautiful getaway.

Very neat and historic farm stay.
We stayed in the Old Wa Suite. Very historic building, nicely restored with interesting design. Everything very nice, clean and tidy, and peaceful! One can really enjoy the Karoo silence. Bring books to read! There is only MTN reception, not Vodacom or Cell C, but the owners provide a mobile phone with MTN so you can make urgent calls. The swimming pond is fresh, clean and ice cold! The bedroom is on a mezzanine floor, with steep steps, so maybe a problem for people who are not very steady on their feet - you have to tread carefully. But the view over the Karoo, from the top floor, is worth it! I would only suggest that a step be added so short people can reach the pots and pans! I also suggest providing a comfortable couch outside, so you can lie on your back and watch the stars! This place is heavenly. We were sad to drive away.

Real real farm, Karoo experience, wonderful hospitality and always available.
Real Karoo experience. Joosteswerwe put me at ease. The open spaces and farm were an experience. Because I come from Gauteng my nerves started to gnaw the 1st night, Marina quickly put my soul at rest. Joosteswerwe's people were available at any time. The history and old farm goods are wonderful to look at. The horse cart is a must and the climbing and walking to see bushman drawings. The whole family is very hospitable. I have never experienced anything like this. Joosteswerwe, the farmhouse is amazing and the scenery is fantastic and good for one's soul. So I could see that there are still good people on earth. Thanks for everything. It's definitely something to experience, another world, but it was amazing. New stories and memories for a lifetime.

Delicious farm experience in the middle of the Karoo!
Joosteswerwe Guest Farm is a beautifully restored farmhouse in the middle of the Karoo. The house is fully equipped with everything a vacationer needs. We were kindly received by Monica and she made us feel very much at home. The peaceful farm atmosphere adds to the enjoyment of the experience. Next time we will definitely stay longer!

Karoo hospitality at its best.
Marje has a beautiful home for guests after a long day's travel. Quiet bleating of sheep and spring goats around the house. Marje followed our journey to the farm to make sure we got there safely. And where do you still find a freezer full of meat today that you can use and all this on the basis of respectability.

Excellent farm stay in the heart of the Karoo.
A privilege to be able to sleep over in such an environment and home. Was able to swim in the farm pond and wash off the day's dust and barbecue meat under the stars. Will go again and stay longer.

A unique experience!
Although the dirt road to the farm posed a great challenge to our low-profile tires, we were pleasantly surprised with the reception, the beautiful spacious farmhouse, amenities and extras and especially the absolute privacy. No detail was overlooked to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The views and tranquility were great and we were very sorry that we booked for one night only. We would love to visit the farm again in the future and will definitely stay for a few days.

Peaceful getaway from the busy city life.
We had a lovely stay at Joosteswerwe Guest Farm. The area is beautiful, die peacefulness of the farm is food for a city slicker's soul. The house has so much history and nostalgia and is very neat and well equipped. We definitely want stay there again, but next time for longer than just an overnight on our way to the West Coast. Thank you to the owners that they are willing to share this beautiful place with others.
