Wonderlik, fantasties, asemrowend en nog meer.

Absoluut fantasties. Majestueuse uitsigte. Baie rustieke plaas tema met al die moderne leefstyl. WiFi en ligte, gasoond en stoof en yskas tog neem die plaashuisgevoel alles oor. Die gasheer is so vriendelik en het 'n klein ontbyt van die plaas en omgewing se produkte gebring. Ons was mal daaroor. Volgende keer sal ons definitief langer bly om die plaasdiere te geniet. Ek gee 'n 5 ster aangesien daar geen opsie vir 10 is nie.

Wonderful, fantastic, breathtaking and more.

Absolutely fantastic. Majestic views. Very rustic farm theme with all the modern lifestyle. WiFi and lights, gas oven and stove and fridge yet the farmhouse feeling takes over everything. The host is so friendly and brought a small breakfast of the farm and surrounding products. We loved it. Next time we will definitely stay longer to enjoy the farm animals. I give a 5 star as there is no option for 10.

Magic.

We had the most amazing stay at the Kerneelia Kothuis! Unfortunately just for a night. As soon as we arrived, we realised it is the type of place you can stay at for a week! The cottage is so beautiful and the host is just amazing, so friendly and genuine, and we really felt looked after. All the love and detail that is put in really comes through, and I couldn't recommend it enough! Thank you so much for the hospitality, and we will definitely be back when we are in the area again!

Mooi, skoon, gasvry en hemelse uitsigte.

Die huisie is werklik iets besonders. Die gasvryheid van die Le Roux familie is so eie die Klein Karoo. Alles in oorvloed! Alle heerlikste ontbyt. Koue wyn in yskas, asook ys. Koffie, konfyt, tee, melk en beskuit. 'n Goeie advertensie vir egte boere gasvryheid. 'n Voorbeeld vir die bedryf. Gaan daardie voorstoepie met die hemelse uitsig baie mis.

Beautiful, clean, hospitable and heavenly views.

The cottage is truly something special. The hospitality of the Le Roux family is so unique to the Klein Karoo. Everything in abundance! All the most delicious breakfast. Cold wine in fridge, as well as ice. Coffee, jam, tea, milk and biscuits. A good advertisement for genuine peasant hospitality. An example for the industry. Gonna really miss that front porch with the heavenly view.

Highly recommended. Will use again.

We love this place. Two years ago we stayed in the small workers cottage. I messed up the booking this time, and Julia kindly changed it to her other double room behind the main house. Absolutely no problem. There were extras like a bottle of wine and nice notes. Also, gluten-free bread for my wife. They definitely know how to look after their guests.

Mooiste Klein Karoo.

Ons het vreeslik lekker by Kerneelia Kothuis gebly. Die gasheer was baie vriendelik en ons was verwelkom met vars blomme, vrugte uit die boord en vars kruie om te gebruik. Die kothuis is baie netjies en skoon met die mooiste vlakte en berguitsig. Die kothuis is ingerig met alles wat jy kan nodig hê - let wel dat dit op sonkrag hardloop, so daar is nie 'n mikrogolf nie, maar daar is 'n braai en 'n gasstoof. Dit is tjoepstil en ons sal vir seker weer teruggaan. Daar is 'n lieflike wynvat waarin jy kan afkoel. Daar is 'n opsie om verskeie items van die plaas te bestel vir jou verblyf. Ons het braaipakke bestel, dit was meer as genoeg kos, liplekker, net soos jou Ouma dit sou maak.

Most beautiful Little Karoo.

We had a really nice stay at Kerneelia Kothuis. The host was very friendly and we were welcomed with fresh flowers, fruit from the orchard and fresh herbs to use. The cottage is very neat and clean with the most beautiful plain and mountain view. The cottage is furnished with everything you could need - note that it runs on solar power, so there is no microwave, but there is a braai and a gas stove. It is quiet and we will definitely go back again. There is a lovely wine barrel in which to cool off. There is an option to order various items from the farm for your stay. We ordered braai packs, it was more than enough food, lip smacking, just like your Grandma would make it.

Fantastic.

We had the most wonderful stay. The hosts are amazing. The food provided was delicious. We had a great time resting and enjoying the birds and farm life. Would recommend Kerneelia Kothuis for all nature lovers and getting away from the hustle and bustle of cities. We loved the privacy and especially the wine vat splash pool on those hot summer days.

Gasvryheid en lekker eet.

Met die aankoms was ons bederf met heerlike wyn en braaibokse met die lekkerste disse. Ontbyt was lig en lekker. Die stilte van die Karoo is wat mens se siel nodig het, weg van die stad se lawaai.

Incredibly peaceful and charming accommodation!

We loved the rustic nature of the off-grid cabin. It was perfectly equipped and comfortable. The sky, the hills, the farm - all just wonderful. We had dinners catered by the host - something not to be missed! And she also made delicious "light" (but actually quite complete!) breakfasts.

Ons verwagtinge is oortref.

Kerneelia Kothuis het 'n gerustellende rustieke warmte wat ons dadelik ongewe het. Celia het ons persoonlik verwelkom en seker gemaak ons ontbreek niks. Soggens is ons bederf met 'n heerlike ontbytmandjie en allerlei ingemaakte bederfies. Die sononderperdrit met drankies en heerlike, tuisgemaakte happies was 'n hoogtepunt. Doornkraal is 'n uitsonderlike plek met 'n ryke familie geskiedenis, ouwêrelse gasvryheid en 'n skatkis vol interessante staaltjies. Ons sal beslis weer daar gaan kuier.

Kerneelia Kothuis has a comforting rustic warmth that immediately won us over. Celia welcomed us personally and made sure we were missing nothing. In the morning we were spoiled with a delicious breakfast basket and all kinds of canned treats. The sunset horse ride with drinks and delicious homemade snacks was a highlight. Doornkraal is an exceptional place with a rich family history, old-world hospitality and a treasure chest full of interesting anecdotes. We will definitely visit there again.
