Extremely relaxing and rejuvenating.

The views from Huis Oppie Rant are stunning, and it is super quiet and peaceful. The cottage is completely off-grid, so you can really switch off, but the main farmhouse (a short walk away) does have WiFi if you really feel the need for connectivity . There are many nice day hikes in the area, and in summer you can even swim in the river. We will definitely be back.

A wonderful break from the world.

We stayed at Cloete House (built 1876), which is like stepping into the past with the paraffin lamps, outside and indoor fireplaces, and slow pace of life. Surrounded by flowering aloes and mountains, we had a peaceful and very happy stay. Loved the preservation of the long family history at their farm museum in the old post office. Next time I'll take enough wood so I don't have to leave to go anywhere!

Histories en nostalgies!

Uiters lekker vir 'n wegbreek aan die meer primitiewe kant, fantastiese uitsig oor die natuur, geriewe meer as voldoende. Die rit oppad na die woning is net so avontuurlik. Die ou Poskantoor daar naby is 'n juweel. Het te veel tyd aan die Portfees gespandeer, sou graag nog tyd wou gehad het vir die verskeie staproetes, 4x4 en visvang. Kortliks, die verblyf en area was die wenner!

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!

Pragtige ligging en lekker naby aan die rivier, heerlike vars lug en ontsaglike mooi berge en dale met unieke staproetes sommer naby aan die huis.

Die huis was baie netjies en mooi skoon met kofiee en suiker verskaf asook vuur maak hout vir die braai plek. Die WiFi het perfek gewerk en Selomina was vreeslik behulpsaam met enige infrmasie wat ek benodig het. Sal virseker weer matjesvlei besoek!

Ongelooflike natuurskoon. Baie basiese verblyf, maar voldoende en ons het dit geniet.

Dit was baie warm tydens ons verblyf (41 grade) en daar was nie 'n waaier vir bietjie verligting nie. Die algemene netheid van die huisie kan beter. Die huisie benodig 'n bietjie finesse.

Heerlik gebly, maar vir die koste van die verblyf verwag 'n mens meer as olie-lampe en 'n donkie om warm water te bekom. Ek stel voor dat daar 'n gasgeiser en sonpanele geïnstalleer word.

Heerlik, fantasties.

Wat 'n belewenis. Huisie opi Rant is voorwaar die rustigheid vanself. Die huis het als wat nodig is vir selfhelp. Het gewonder oor die kragloosheid van die plek, máár nie eens agtergekom dat dit nie daar is nie. Selma is ook 'n uitstekende gasvrou! Het altyd gedog die FAK-liedjie van daar stap 'n mannetjie in die vlei Godliep Antoni is net 'n liedjie, toe sien ek hom daar teen die muur in die sitkamer. Ons kom weer anderdagmôre. Vir seker.

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.

Asemrowend, terug in tyd.

Cloete Huis vat 'n mens terug in tyd. Gebou in 1876. Tussen die massiewe berge besef jy hoe klein die mens eintlik is. As jy die geskiedenis lees (wat baie vermaaklik was) van die omgewing en jy stap, sien jy wie waar gebly het en waardeer 'n mens net weereens alles. Sal dit hoogs aanbeveel. Daar is huise wat meer modern ingerig is vir die wat nie sonder tegnologie kan klaarkom nie.

Breathtaking, back in time.

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.

Pragtige natuurskoon. Stilte.

Dit sou lekker gewees het om 'n lig te kan aanskakel, maar die lampe was OK. Wat wel gepla het was die donkie. Alhoewel ons vuurtjie gestook was, het ons net louwarm water gehad (nader aan koud). Die braaiplek op die stoep was baie lekker.

Beautiful scenery. Silence.

It would have been nice to be able to turn on a light, but the lamps were OK. What did bother me was the donkey. Although our fire was lit, we only had lukewarm water (closer to cold). The braai place on the stoep was very nice.

Verrassende mooi omgewing, gerieflike huisie met persoonlikheid.

Selma het ons self verwelkom en die pad na die Wahuis beduie. Ons sou langer wou bly as net ons oornagbespreking, want die rustigheid en karakter van Matjiesvlei kom binne-in mens nesmaak, net soos die swaeltjies met wie ons ons uitkykstoep gedeel het. Die lente-veldblomme en riviermusiek van agter die bome was 'n ekstra onverwagte toegif. Ons het heerlik gebraai met die kurkdroë hout wat ons daar kon koop, en gerieflik geslaap totdat die voëls ons wekker was. Onthou om jou verkyker in te pak om daardie voëls te kan bekyk. Ons sien uit om weer en langer te gaan! Dankie aan die Nels vir puik lekkeslaapplek!

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!

Rustige langnaweek in pragtige omgewing, sonder selfoonopvangs!

Heerlik gebly in Douglas-huis. Die staproete op die plaas is lieflik, ons het 'n hele paar keer op die rivier geroei, en piekniek gehou op die rivierbank. Ons het 'n paar koue, winderige dae gehad, en die huisie is dan lekker koud (definitief gebou vir die baie warm somers). Maar op mooi dae het ons lekker gestoepsit en gebraai, en die rustigheid en tegnologie-breek vreeslik geniet.

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.

Rustige omgewing met alles wat jy nodig het verblyf.

Die huis het als wat nodig is vir 'n wegbreek en baie gerieflik. Geen selfoonopvangs kry 10 uit 10, mooi uitsigte oor die vallei en die huisie smaakvol gemeubileer. Jy kan ure op stoep sit en ontspan soos die vorige inwoners seker ook gedoen het. Die ou poskantoor het interessante items en genoeg leesstof om jou besig te hou en kykie te gee in die lewens van vorige inwoners en families. So bly dit word vir ons beskikbaar gestel en bewaar.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier en Selma is 'n wonderlike gasvrou wat na al mens se behoeftes omsien. Die eenheid is baie smaaklik gemeubileer met besonder aandag aan detail. Die 7 km grondpad van die teerpad af het aandag nodig, maar dit was vir ons die enigste negatief. Ons sal Oupad se Kloof beslis by almal aanbeveel. Baie dankie Selma en Bennie.

Lovely peaceful location, real authentic Karoo farm experience. We loved our time there.

We stayed at Matjiesvlei for one night on our way back to KZN. What a lovely spot. The old farm house Huis Oppie Rant is beautiful, it feels rustic but has all the comforts. My son loved lighting the fire for the hot water and we had a peaceful, restful evening looking at the spectacular stars. We will definitely be back.

Hemels!

Die heerlikste verrassing, hoe ontsettend mooi dit hier is en hoe keurig en die plekkie met oudhede tipies "ou Kaaps" ingerig is. In die Wa-huis selfs 'n kleine Grandfather Clock, pragtige koperbed - slaap heerlik - en ander besonderhede soos die ou yster as deurstop, die 3-sitplek kerkbankie vir jou tasse in die slaapgedeelte, die mooi Victoriaanse deure na die stoep. Tog bly alles in eenvoud nes dit eertyds sou wees. Daar is 'n tweede huis, "Huis Oppie Rant", redelik naby, maar meer as genoeg privaatheid word gebied deur die lekker ingeboude braai op die stoep. Kan moontlik raserig wees as groot groep langsaan is of 'n familie met klein huilerige kindertjies. Sal definitief weer kom bly as ons in daardie geweste is, maar dan vroeër om ook die Bobjaanskop 4X4-roete wat op die plaas geleë is, aan te pak.

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.

Die rustige skoonheid van die omgewing, stilte en lieflike herfsweer laat jou geen keuse as om te ontspan, weg van alles, tog naby ander plekke van belang om te besoek. Ons verblyf was baie gerieflik en heel spesiaal in die ou plaasopstal met geen luukshede, maar vol karakter en met alles wat nodig is, silwerskoon, heerlike beddens en linne om in te slaap en 'n stoep om op te sit en kuier.

Tranquillity and silence in wonderful nature.

After following the clear directions to the farm on the very well-maintained gravel road, we arrived at the farm house and were warmly welcomed by the owners, Bennie and Selma. The Wa-Huis stands alongside another cottage - both have stunning views over the river valley. The cottage has no cell-phone reception and no electricity, which is why we chose this venue - we needed a complete break. The cottage was clean and well-equipped. I would like to suggest the inclusion of an oven-glove and a second drying up towel. The area is gripped by a severe drought and the water situation was clearly explained. There is a special tap for drinking water in the kitchen. The braai is well-built and works efficiently, under the shaded stoep. The donkie boiler has clear instructions and a daily supply of wood. One concern was the amount of water we had to run, before the warm water came to the shower, in the light of the drought. In the shower and above the basin, the soap racks are for tall people only - it may be helpful to short people like me to have them a bit lower! We absolutely loved the silence (no sound of traffic/town noise at all), the plant and bird life, the walks, the clear air. We had a wonderful holiday!

Wonderful holiday in the Klein Karoo.

We had a wonderful holiday at Matjiesvlei and were made to feel so welcome. Our "huis oppie rant" had so much character with spectacular views of the Swartberg mountains. The kids loved riding their bikes, swimming in the river (which is running very low with the drought) and watching the cows being milked. There's a great 10 km trail run along the 4x4 track and braai's under the Karoo sky are amazing. This is a very special holiday spot!

Baie ontspanne en rustige verblyf in plaashuis sonder elektrisiteit.

Ons chalet, Cloetehuis, het geen elektrisiteit nie, en is daarom perfek vir ons wat stilte en eenvoud verkies. Geen TV, of radio. Olielampe en kerse, en die lieflike donkerte as die son gesak het, het ons verblyf ongelooflik lekker gemaak. Die ou huis is pragtig opgeknap en het nog plankvloere en opskuifvensterrame. Daar is slegs 'n bad en nie 'n stort nie, wat vir ons geen probleem was nie. Die tweeplaat gassstoof in die kombuis was baie gerieflik om te gebruik. Ons kon ook buite braai en het dit baie geniet om die plaas- en naggeluide te hoor. Ek sal hierdie oulike plek beslis aanbeveel vir mense wat eenvoud en stilte soek. Ons gasheer en gasvrou, Bennie en Selma, is vreeslik gaaf en vriendelik en het moeite gedoen om ons verblyf aangenaam te maak.

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.

Salig!

Ons het heerlik gebly in Thiarthuis - wat goed toegerus is. Dis in 'n rustige omgewing met geen geraas en net die geroep van bobbejane en jakkalse. Dit is omring deur pragtige natuurskoon en beste van alles - daar is geen selfoon-ontvangs nie! Ons besoek aan die museum was insiggewend en ons volwasse kinders het die visvang in die rivier baie geniet. Ons sal graag weer wil teruggaan.

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.

Eenvoudige, private wegbreek in die middel van nêrens!

Privaatheid: 100%. Selfoonsein (Vodacom): 0%. Elektrisiteit - 0% (Bring maar jou 'powerbank' saam). Uitsig - 100%. Netheid - 100%. Bring saam: 'Powerbank' wat selfone of kameras kan laai, flits, fietse, bordspeletjies en goeie wyn. Ek en my vrou het by Matjiesvlei aangekom laat die aand. 'n Vriendelike Selma Nel het ons gewhatsapp en verduidelik om by die huisie aan te kom. Sonder wete het ons die donkie gesien brand langs die waenhuis en toe besef ons eers dat ons huisie geen elektrisiteit of selfoonsein het nie. Dit was great! Ons het die hele naweek nie een persoon op die plaas besigtig nie, net beeste, volstruise, duisende spekboomplante en asemrowende berge gesien! Sal weer 'n draai op Matjiesvlei maak.

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.

'n Heerlike ingerigte huisie met die mooiste uitsig oor die Klein Karoo.

Eenvoud. Uitisg. Natuur. Dis presies waarna ons opsoek was en presies wat ons as stadsjapies hier gekry het. Die eenvoudige (maar goed ingerigte) huisie is op die mooiste ligging met uitsigte oor die berge en karoo. Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang en daar is baie moeite gedoen om ons te laat welkom en tuis voel. Sal die Wa-huis by Matjiesvlei Gasteplaas aanbeveel aan enige iemand, veral as jy hunker om naby aan die natuur te wees.

This review is being shown in its original language.

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.
