Historic and nostalgic!
Extremely nice for a break on the more primitive side, fantastic view of nature, facilities more than adequate. The drive up to the residence is just as adventurous. The old Post Office nearby is a gem. Spent too much time at the Port Festival, would have liked to have had more time for the various hiking trails, 4x4 and fishing. In short, the accommodation and area was the winner!

What an experience. Huisie opi Rant is truly tranquility itself. The house has everything needed for self-help. Wondered about the powerlessness of the place, but didn't even notice it wasn't there. Selma is also an excellent hostess! Always thought the FAK song from there a little man walks in the swamp Godliep Antoni was just a song, then I saw him there on the wall in the living room. We will come again the day after tomorrow. For sure.

Cloete Huis takes one back in time. Built in 1876. Between the massive mountains you realize how small man really is. If you read the history (which was very entertaining) of the area and you walk, you see who lived where and you just appreciate everything again. Would highly recommend it. There are homes that are more modernly furnished for those who cannot do without technology.

Surprisingly beautiful surroundings, comfortable house with personality.
Selma herself welcomed us and pointed the way to the Wahuis. We would have liked to stay longer than just our overnight reservation, because the tranquility and character of Matjiesvlei comes to nest inside you, just like the swallows with whom we shared our observation deck. The spring wildflowers and river music from behind the trees was an extra unexpected bonus. We had a great barbecue with the cork-dry wood we could buy there, and slept comfortably until the birds woke us up. Remember to pack your binoculars to view those birds. We look forward to going again and longer! Thanks to the Nels for a great place to sleep!

Great stay in Douglas house. The hiking trail on the farm is lovely, we rowed on the river quite a few times, and had a picnic on the river bank. We have had a few cold, windy days, and the house is nice and cold (definitely built for the very hot summers). But on nice days we sat and barbecued, and really enjoyed the tranquility and technology break.

Heavenly!
The most delightful surprise, how stunningly beautiful it is here and how exquisitely the place is furnished with antiques, typically "old Cape". In the Wa-huis even a small Grandfather Clock, beautiful copper bed - great sleep - and other details such as the old iron door stop, the 3-seater pew for your suitcases in the sleeping area, the beautiful Victorian doors to the porch. Yet everything remains in simplicity as it would have been in the past. There is a second house, "Huis Oppie Rant", quite close, but more than enough privacy is offered by the nice built-in braai on the stoep. Could possibly be noisy if large group is next door or a family with small crying children. Will definitely come and stay again if we are in those regions, but then earlier to also tackle the Bobjaanskop 4X4 route which is located on the farm.

The peaceful beauty of the surroundings, silence and lovely autumn weather leave you with no choice but to relax, away from it all, yet close to other places of interest to visit. Our stay was very comfortable and very special in the old farmstead with no luxuries, but full of character and with everything you need, spotlessly clean, lovely beds and linen to sleep in and a porch to sit on and visit. The nearby river paddles and swims better than the sea!

Very relaxed and peaceful stay in farmhouse without electricity.
Our chalet, Cloetehuis, has no electricity, and is therefore perfect for those of us who prefer silence and simplicity. No TV, or radio. Oil lamps and candles, and the lovely darkness when the sun went down, made our stay incredibly enjoyable. The old house has been beautifully renovated and still has wooden floors and sliding window frames. There is only a bath and no shower, which was no problem for us. The two-plate gas stove in the kitchen was very convenient to use. We were also able to barbecue outside and really enjoyed hearing the farm and night sounds. I would definitely recommend this cute place to people looking for simplicity and quiet. Our host and hostess, Bennie and Selma, are extremely kind and friendly and have made an effort to make our stay pleasant.

Blessed!
We had a wonderful stay in Thiarthuis - which is well equipped. It's in a peaceful environment with no noise and only the calls of baboons and foxes. It is surrounded by beautiful scenery and best of all - there is no cell phone reception! Our visit to the museum was informative and our adult children really enjoyed fishing in the river. We would love to go back again.

Simple, private getaway in the middle of nowhere!
Privacy: 100%. Mobile signal (Vodacom): 0%. Electricity - 0% (Just bring your 'powerbank' with you). View - 100%. Cleanliness - 100%. Bring with you: 'Powerbank' that can charge mobile phones or cameras, flash, bicycles, board games and good wine. My wife and I arrived at Matjiesvlei late in the evening. A friendly Selma Nel WhatsApped us and explained how to arrive at the cottage. Unknowingly, we saw the donkey burning next to the carriage house and then we first realized that our little house had no electricity or cell phone signal. It was great! We didn't see a single person on the farm all weekend, only cattle, ostriches, thousands of bacon tree plants and breathtaking mountains! Will make another visit to Matjiesvlei.

A wonderfully furnished house with the most beautiful view over the Klein Karoo.
Simplicity. Exit Nature. That's exactly what we were looking for and exactly what we got here as city lads. The simple (but well appointed) cottage is in the most beautiful location with views over the mountains and karoo. We were received very kindly and a lot of effort was made to make us feel welcome and at home. Would recommend the Wahuis at Matjiesvlei Guest Farm to anyone, especially if you crave being close to nature.
