Baie mooi, rustige en netjiese plekkie.

Was aangenaam verras ten spyte van die kragonderbreking. Baie netjiese plek, kunstig gemeubileer. Die stoep was 'n pluspunt en die erf is lekker groot vir 'n hond.

Very nice, quiet and tidy place.

Was pleasantly surprised despite the power outage. Very neat place, artistically furnished. The porch was a plus and the yard is nice and big for a dog.

Friendly, amenable and well cared for, also pet friendly.

I am so pleased to have found Karoo Huisie. There is a friendly, relaxed atmosphere and the place is very well looked after and clean. The garden is fenced and I could relax with my dog wandering around outside.

Clean, nice farm experience.

We used Karoo Huisie as an overnight stay while travelling from Cape Town to JHB. A very pleasant and clean farm experience. They accommodated our late arrival. Even switched the electric blankets on prior to our arrival. We will use the same house again as a stopover. Next time we will make use of the breakfast served.

Karoo Huisie is 'n moet as jy in Bethulie oorbly.

Ons het baie lekker gebly en sal beslis weer daar oornag in die toekoms. Die omgewing is fantasties landelik soos ons daarvan hou en die huisie was baie mooi skoon met lugversorging en goeie kwaliteit beddegoed ens. Ons gasvrou was 'n baie aangename en gemoedelike mens wat jou sommer onmiddellik laat welkom voel.

Karoo Huisie is a must if you stay in Bethulie.

We had a great stay and will definitely stay there again in the future. The setting is fantastically rural as we like it and the cottage was very nice and clean with air conditioning and good quality bedding etc. Our hostess was a very pleasant and friendly person who immediately makes you feel welcome.

Ideaal as reis met hondjies.

Groot buite area met baie gras. Ons 5 honde het dit terdeë geniet! 'n Gedeelte van die pad tussen Gariep en Bethulie was oortrek met slaggate, ek voel hierdié moes gekommunikeer gewees het aangesien dit 'n nare verrassing was na 8 ure se reis. Ons het ontbyt bespreek, maar tydens aankoms was die gasvrou verbaas en gesê die 'loadshedding' skedule moet eers nagegaan word. Moet dus nie ontbyt aanbied of adverteer sou jy nie ingerig wees vir beurtkrag nie. Ook, beurtkrag het net 'n te gemaklike verskoning geword vir swak diens. TV was buite werking so ook die lugverkoeler. Die plek was wel besonders skoon en netjies met goeie linne en handdoeke. Ons het die ekstras soos 'n melkie in die yskas en gebottelde water waardeer. Ek voel die tarief plus fooi per hond moet hersien word aangesien die akkommodasie nie die prys regverdig nie en nie ingerig is om beurtkrag te hanteer nie.

Ideal when traveling with dogs.

Large outdoor area with lots of grass. Our 5 dogs thoroughly enjoyed it! Part of the road between Gariep and Bethulie was covered with potholes, I feel this should have been communicated as it was a nasty surprise after 8 hours of travel. We booked breakfast, but on arrival the hostess was surprised and said the 'loadshedding' schedule must be checked first. So do not offer or advertise breakfast if you are not equipped for load shedding. Also, load shedding has become just too convenient an excuse for poor service. TV was out of order as was the air conditioner. The place was particularly clean and tidy with good linen and towels. We appreciated the extras like a little milk in the fridge and bottled water. I feel the rate plus fee per dog should be revised as the accommodation does not justify the price and is not set up to handle shedding.

Slegte area. Daar was perde en ganse, waarvan ons gehou het.

Die huisie was nie vooraf skoongemaak nie. Daar was oral spinnerakke. Die lugversorger in die kamer het net warm lug uitgeblaas, so dit was onmoontlik om te slaap in die hitte. Ons moes in die donker braai, want daar was geen stoeplig nie. Sal nie daar oorslaap nie. Slegte omgewing. Stukkende lugversorger. Geen stoeplig. Vuil huisie.

Bad area. There were horses and geese, which we liked.

The cottage was not cleaned beforehand. There were cobwebs everywhere. The air conditioner in the room only blew out warm air, so it was impossible to sleep in the heat. We had to braai in the dark, because there was no porch light. Will not stay there. Bad environment. Broken air conditioner. No porch light. Dirty little house.

What a gem in the Karoo. Quaint, warm, cosy and private. We loved it.

This is a great stopover en route between Gauteng and the Cape. Self-catering and had everything you need. The bath is a treat. I am sure the garden is lovely in summer too. Lovely farm atmosphere. We have eaten at the Ou Kar restaurant in town before and it is also perfect if you'd prefer not to go self-catering.

Vriendelike behulpsame gasvrou, pragtige huis, mooi ingerig met alles wat nodig is. Groot omheinde erf. Ons twee honde was in hulle element en het geniet om perde te sien. Rustig, sterre, bome. Meer kan mens nie vra van oorslaapverblyf nie. Gaan gerus!

Die plot waarop die huisie geleë is, is slordig en onnet.

Daar is geen noemenswaardige heinings nie en die heinings wat wel daar is, is van gewone draad en is baie slordig. Geen elektriese heinings of ander veiligheidsmaatreëls nie - voel baie onveilig. Die grondpad na die ingang, en die grondpaaie op die plot is swak onderhou. Die TV het nie gewerk nie en in elk geval is die TV-kamer basies onbruikbaar weens die ligging en ou afgeleefde meubels. Verskeie ligte, onder andere die buitelig op die stoep, het nie gewerk nie. Kan nie glo iemand bedryf so 'n gastehuis nie, veral in ag genome die tarief wat hopeloos te duur is vir dit wat aangebied word.

The plot on which the cottage is located is untidy and untidy.

There are no significant fences and the fences that are there are of ordinary wire and are very untidy. No electric fences or other security measures - feels very unsafe. The dirt road to the entrance, and the dirt roads on the plot are poorly maintained. The TV didn't work and anyway the TV room is basically unusable due to the location and old worn out furniture. Several lights, including the outside light on the porch, did not work. Can't believe anyone runs a guest house like this, especially considering the rate is hopelessly overpriced for what is on offer.

Beautiful, fabulous, rustige verblyf.

Wat 'n heerlike 2 aande het ons by hierdie heerlike plekkie gebly! Louise het ons en ons 3 seuns en weeshonde met ope arms verwelkom! Almal het hulle gate uit geniet - ons kon nog langer gebly het! Nadat ons ons vir jare doodgesukkel het om 'n behoorlike pet friendly (wat nie net beteken die hamster en die budgie nie) en child-friendly oornagbestemming te vind, was dit amazing om die Karoo Huisie te vind! Kan nie wag om terug te gaan!

After struggling for years to find a proper pet friendly (which doesn't just mean the hamster and the budgie) and child-friendly overnight destination, it was amazing to find the Karoo Huisie! Can't wait to go back!
