Very pleasant stay in beautiful surroundings.
The surroundings are incredibly beautiful, especially in the flower season. The road there can be challenging, especially after rain. Attention to small things like soap and a small towel in the bathroom will help quite a bit. Stay was pleasant and surroundings particularly beautiful.

Delicious! The perfect place to rest - no TV and no cell phone signal! The nature is indescribably beautiful and the farm brings a peacefulness that is wonderful. The houses are well equipped and very tidy. Esmi and Phillip are very friendly and helpful. We could really stay here permanently.

Very peaceful environment to get away from the hustle and bustle.
If you want tranquility this is the place to visit. Esmi made us feel welcome upon arrival. Although this is a working farm, none of the activities were disruptive. The cottage is comfortably small with everything you need at hand. Love the antiques in the decor. Kasper the big dog is also very friendly. Will definitely go there again if it's on our route. Will want to stay in the Flower House next time.

Easy, hospitable and really worth visiting if you're in the area.
We had a great stay and our daughter of 2 years old loved all of the farm animals! It's just a shame that we could only stay one night, but we were on our way to the Kgalagadi. I would definitely recommend them for those travelling through Namakwaland!

A place to stay that I would recommend anytime! If you want fresh air, rest for your soul and the vastness that only a farm can offer you, Grootvalleij is your destination. Our hostess was friendly and helpful and Kasper (a Golden Retriever) our personal bodyguard and tour guide on our walk to the flower field. And I have never seen the stars like there!

Had a wonderful time in a beautiful tidy house in a quiet environment - just what body and soul needed.
Would really recommend this place to someone looking for peace of mind and body. Would also be perfect for groups of friends who want to stretch out here and visit other beautiful places and use it as a base point. A bit far to Port Nolloth but we took the opportunity to explore that part of the world. Will do it again! Reception by the owners of the farm, Mari and Corrie was warm - very hospitable people. Had a great time with Gus, our new four-legged friend. Just as friendly as his people. Thank you very much!

A wonderful experience.
We drove over the Wildeperdehoek pass to Grootvalleij. It's a beautiful setting, despite the fact that there were no flowers this year. Esmi's warm welcome made us feel extra at home. Thanks also for the tip to enjoy a "sundowner" on the turn-off road in the pass - it was very special!. The Kliphuisie and the Stoephuisie were spotlessly clean, with everything we could possibly need, with Esmi's artistic hand visible everywhere! The view is beautiful! Here the nights are so dark (yet so safe) that it feels like you can rearrange the stars a bit. Die Kliphuisie and Die Stoephuisie definitely ended up on our "do-again list". We'll see you again soon!

Farm. Nice accommodation.
Get a bit of rest year after the long day on the road. Allow the farm atmosphere, the dorper sheep and the quiver trees transform your mind. The little 11 km gravel road is nothing compared to the roads in the Karoo and Namibia. Kliphuisie provides very very neat accommodation and the farm folks are kind and friendly.

Was very nice and peaceful, away from city traffic. People very friendly and helpful.
The place was very neat and well maintained and contained everything that is needed for self-catering. The only "problem" is that the bath and toilet facilities were too open. There should be better shielding. The environment and general reception and friendly care was great. People really made an effort to make you feel at home. Had a great chat with Corrie and Phillip. Unfortunately we could only get 2 nights stay. Would have liked more. Could have a nice walk outside on the farm and enjoy the surroundings. The further surroundings such as the Namakwa National Park and Hondeklip Bay are also within easy reach. The surroundings are also really worth seeing. Passes, mountains, valleys and plains are truly something for the eyes. If I travel there again I will want to stay here again, only longer. The unit is only intended for 2 people, but at the last our daughter decided to come along and a place to sleep was arranged for her in a hurry. At pay time, Esmi Crous didn't want to know anything about me "coughing" extra. That's not how it goes here in Pretoria.

A lovely and unforgettable experience while staying in this artfully furnished stone house. Nothing could beat having a braai under the stars on the porch. It's dead quiet, pitch dark and we slept like babies. Esmi is a very friendly and helpful hostess that immediately makes you feel at home. Will stay with them again any time!

We were a little late but at least we could see our beautiful surroundings the next morning. The cottage is beautiful and it would be nice to be able to stay there for a few days when it's flower time. However, the water pressure is not that nice and the taps' strainers only need to be cleaned regularly, would recommend that they just put on a normal shower head that can also be cleaned regularly, despite that I would recommend the milk tree corner stone house!
