Baie lekker gebly en heerlik geslaap.

Baie lekker gebly! Fantastiese blyplek. Baie veilig en net 'n paar minute van Oudtshoorn. Heerlike varsgebakte brood. Die blomme was baie spesiaal.

Heerlik ontspanned na 'n lang dag se reis.

Pragtige plaas kothuis. Die varsbrood en wyn was 'n groot bederf. Ons het net een aand oorgeslaap, sou graag langer wou bly.

Beautiful, peaceful setting.

We enjoyed our stay at Kandelaars Cottage. It is in a beautiful setting and very peaceful. We enjoyed sitting outside for breakfast in the morning. It would be great if the host provided some tea, coffee and sugar for the first morning. We would stay there again any time.

Dit is een van die mooiste en karaktervolste plekkies wat ons al gebly het. Skoon, netjies en baie gerieflik. Dit is lekker stil en rustig en net vergenoeg uit die dorp uit.

Ons het baie veilig gevoel. Die personeel was baie vriendelik en ons was voor en na die tyd maklik in kontak met hulle. Hulle kan trots wees om mense na hul plek te nooi.

Baie dankie vir die heerlike broodjie en wyn. Dit was beslis 'n verrassing. Met loadshedding kon mens net glad nie oproepe kry of uitbel. Wat so bietjie van 'n probleem was as jy besigheid moes doen? Maar mens kan daarom werk. Ek sal die plek enige tyd aanbeveel, baie dankie.

Ontspanne, lekker rus en kuier tyd.

Aangesien ek 'n deel van my kinderlewe op 'n plaas deurgebring het, het hierdie verblyf mooi herinneringe vir my gebring. 'n Baie netjiese, goed ingerigte maar tog tipiese plaashuis. Lekker plek vir 'n familie kuiernaweek.

Stil en rustige omgewing en perfekte wegbreek van die stad se gejaag.

Kandelaars Cottage is 'n baie mooi, skoon en goed geleë blyplek. Ons was daar met 5 volwassenes en 2 klein kinders en almal het dit geniet, veral die soek na ystervarke elke aand. Ons sal vir seker weer daar bly as ons weer in die omgewing is.

Heerlike ontvangs.

Die plekkie is uit die dorp, heerlik rustig. Daar was 'n stapelhout reeds gepak, reg vir vuurtjie maak. Op die tafel het 'n lekker verwelkomingspakkie gewag. Genoeg slaapplek vir almal en die kinders was opgewonde oor die warmwatersakke (ons was daar in die winter).

The place is out of town, wonderfully peaceful. There was a pile of wood already packed, ready for a fire. A nice welcome package was waiting on the table. Enough sleeping space for everyone and the children were excited about the hot water bags (we were there in winter).

Fantastic!

My hubby and I went to the KKNK festival in Oudtshoorn and managed to get this farmhouse for one night's stay. It was absolutely magic. If you want peace and quiet and just to relax this place is fantastic. Never got to meet the owners but they were very helpful via WhatsApp.

Kandelaars Cottages is 'n pragtige woonhuis wat tipies van die Klein-Karoo is. Die woonhuis is baie netjies, baie gerieflik en baie mooi. Dit was 'n wonderlike verrassing. Ek kan dit regtig hoogs aanbeveel. Daar is regtig niks om oor te kla nie!

Rustige kuier in 'n skoon en netjies plek met baie spasie vir almal.

Vriendelike mense wat regtig omgee vir die wat daar kom bly. Besoek aan die volstruisboerdery was 'n bonus en baie leersaam. Daar is niks en niemand om jou te pla nie en as jy wil gepla wees, Oudtshoorn is net 7 minute se ry weg van die huis.

Die cottage is baie goed toegerus met selfs 'n noodhulp stelletjie, muskietweerder, ens. Die vars brood met plaasbotter en bottel wyn, was 'n heerlike verwelkoming. Ons het ons terdeë geniet om op die plaasstoep te kuier. Ons sal graag weer wil kom kuier, die keer met die hele familie!

Here your soul can rest.

Kandelaars Cottage is beautiful, inside and out! You lack nothing, the owner has thought of everything. Hospitality galore! Freshly baked bread and jam on arrival ─ yum! It is perfectly peaceful. Close enough to Oudtshoorn for dinner, has a 600 ha backyard to explore on foot and there is enough fire wood so you can braai under the perfect African sky every evening. Ideally situated for cycle training with all the passes in the area. We will definitely be back! Thank you!
