After we called 3 hours before our arrival, the unit was not prepared or cleaned.
Day 1's arrival was not at all what we expected. Very disappointed in the service. The boiler was dirty and full of lime. No outdoor bin available. No braai facilities available, had to plan and go looking for items. Very poor outdoor lighting. Bathroom is clean, but uncomfortable to use while people sit down for dinner and only an open glass door separates the view. Very poor water pressure and waiting forever for hot water. No reception was available and had to go find a person for help.

It was very nice to be in nature, the sunset was very beautiful and the view over the pond and all the sounds in nature of the animals and birds.
It was a very nice and relaxing visit, just what one needs before taking the long road again. Had a wonderful sleep with the rain that fell and the lovely cool weather.

The farm is nice and nice, but next time we will definitely use the other accommodation facilities instead. The tents are uncomfortable and the shower water was cold. Ablution facilities are neither very private nor very clean. Buffet dinner was delicious.

It was truly a lovely place, we who love camping really enjoyed the tent overnight. Just a suggestion, if you could perhaps provide a small table with 4 chairs in front of the tent to be able to sit and eat outside.

Oasis after a long day.
After a long day on the road it was an unexpected oasis for tired bodies. Friendly reception, clean and tidy facilities, large lawns where children can run around safely and we were able to partake in bottle time for the hanslammers. You just feel like you're on vacation. More than just a place to stay.

Easy going.
We enjoyed the stay, the people are very hospitable and the food is great. The stay was very nice and we slept well, I would suggest if you have small children (under 5 years old) that you can book the chalets. As well as providing 1 or 2 baby chairs, it will also make meals for the guests with small babies more comfortable. But the service was excellent, the stay was excellent, the atmosphere was comfortable and made us feel like we were on vacation.

Lovely farm atmosphere.
We spent one night here in the tented camp. The reception was great and PC immediately made us feel welcome. We decided at the last to eat at the restaurant and unfortunately they could not accommodate us. However, they made a plan and prepared an alternative dinner for us. The children really enjoyed the farm and animals. However, I would have liked to have a small bar fridge in the room for cold drinks etc. to keep cold However, they met us with our frozen food and stored it in the kitchen. I would recommend Karoo Gariep to everyone.
