Quiet farmhouse in the field.
We had a wonderful stay at Leureet! Farmhouse in the middle of nowhere. Dead quiet with only a few sheep for company. We went with a motorcycle, so luggage space was limited, but we found all the facilities we needed there, even wood and flash. There is no power, so take a battery bank with you. We stayed in the cottage and I would recommend it to anyone.

Wonderfully quiet, peaceful, peaceful on the farm. Most beautiful stars!
Lovely stay on the farm. The tastiest meat could be bought on the farm to grill! Thank you. Lovely large farmhouse on a working farm. Indoor braai was convenient to braai in the evenings. Tina is very nice and answered all our hordes of questions. We could walk around the farm. We probably enjoyed Jackie, the puppy, the most! He is too dear! We will definitely want to come again if we want to be in Nieuwoudtville. Have to say, your bed slept wonderfully! No cell phone signal, but in case of emergency you could use WiFi at the farmstead. It didn't bother us at all!

We got what we didn't know we were missing.
When I was looking for accommodation, I was so charmed by the beautiful photos that I never read the description of the Veldhuisie. Great was my surprise when Tina, the hostess, asked if we were ready for a few nights without electricity and cell phone reception. Just as great was Tina's surprise that I had no idea about the specific details! However, full of false bravado, I assured her that it was perfectly fine - after all, I am a rough, coarse man and could easily do without the luxuries of normal society. With a few bags of wood, battery lights and directions, a sympathetic Tina sent us into the wilderness. The Veldhuisie was literally in the middle of nowhere. Indeed, there was no electricity, and my cell phone could not even make an emergency call. The only sign of civilization was a windmill some distance away. At least everything looked like in the pictures. It was deep dusk by then and bitterly cold, so I immediately built a fire in the large fireplace/braai. After a nice hot cup of coffee thanks to the gas kettle and a crackling fire in the fireplace, we were warm and over the worst shock. After a giggle about how I had overlooked some pretty important information, the total silence and tranquility of the Veldhuisie and surroundings dawned on us. And it was fun! But the biggest surprise would come a little later when nature literally and figuratively called and we had to walk to the outdoor toilet: it was so dark that when you close your eyes, there is no difference. Until you look up and are greeted by the most beautiful, clearest and most stars you have ever seen in your life. It's so clear that you can see the Milky Way! We stood with our heads back and watched the spectacle until the cold and sore necks persuaded us to re-enter. And that's where we realized that we weren't the only inhabitants of the Veldhuisie - on the wall was a lizard as big as my hand that stared at us curiously. We stared back - what else can you do? After all, we are in his area! He later made peace with his new roommates and went back to the roof to do what lizards do. Later that evening we would have the same experience with a terribly cute vole. We fell asleep that night in a bed with crisp sheets, warm coals glowing in the fireplace, and silence and peace around us. And a lizard in the roof. The Veldhuisie allowed us to escape for a few evenings from the noise and hustle and bustle of society. It was so nice to be able to focus on each other without any interference from beeping cell phones or blaring TVs. And when you stand under the stars like this and marvel at yourself, all your problems and worries feel very far away. It was really an experience we didn't realize we were missing.

Perfect for 2 people, no one will bother you here. No catch which means you switch off properly. We used it as a base for flower viewing in the area.

The Veldhuisie is not for the winter.
We booked the Veldhuisie knowing it had an outside bathroom. We really liked the old house with the hearth inside. Stofie with nice big fridge and good bed, but, the bathroom - shade-net roof and sails on both sides. Our first day was stormy with strong wind and rain and it was wetter in the bathroom than outside. It's just not usable in bad weather. A shame really, because we loved the seclusion and the silence.

Baie dankie vir jou terugvoering, ons sal beslis aandag aan die badkamer se dakkie gee, dit is in die beplanning, jammer vir die ongerief.
Die huisie is deur die voorgeslagte gebruik om te oorwinter voordat Oom Jan Strauss dan weer met sy trop skaap Boesmanland toe getrek het vir die somer.

Clean, tidy, quiet. Delicious lamb chops.
The guest house is very neat and clean and there is everything you need. The owners provided delicious lamb chops and sausage as we had arranged in advance. The entrance to the farm is just not very clearly visible from Calvinia's side because that road is quite busy and one cannot drive too slowly, nevertheless we noticed it when we drove past it. Thank you very much for the good stay! We would love to visit you again.
