Gasvrye ontvangs, oulike verblyf. Daar is aan alles gedink.

Alles was skoon en netjies en die huisies is baie goed toegerus. Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang en ook verras met heerlike tuisgebakte brood. Dit was 'n heerlike, rustige ervaring. Sal definitief weer hier oorbly.

Fantastic, only booked one night as a stop over on the way back to Jozi but would have been great to stay longer. Very clean, friendly staff and nice touches like fresh bread waiting in the kitchen. Loads of fun walking around where all the horses and cattle were, a lovely stay even better than we were hoping for!

Hartlike, warm ontvangs. Daar is gereeld seker gemaak dat ons alles het wat ons nodig het en die kamers is baie goed toegerus vir koue nagte, beurtkrag en selfs muskietafweerder en hoofpynpille. Hulle het waarlik aan alles gedink. Rustige omgewing met die mooiste sonsopkoms. Beste skaapkerrie ooit.

Mooi en skoon akkommodasie, vriendelik en kompleet.

Die woonstel was groot en baie mooi en skoon. Die yskas het water en melk gehad toe ons aankom, een brood was op die tafel. Die plaas waar die woonstel op is, het een mooi tuin waar die woonstelle in is. Alles waaraan jy kan dink, was daar. Selfs kos het ons daar gekry - baie lekker kos. Wat ek ook geniet het, is rondstap op die plaas en kyk na die diere.

Uitstekende waarde vir geld.

Ons het lanklaas oornag op 'n plek waar daar soveel aandag geskenk was aan die klein detail. Van die wonderlike etes wat met soveel sorg voorberei is tot die klein medisyneblikkie in die badkamer gee mens die gevoel van 'n luukse hotel. Kamer was pynlik netjies en baie ruim. Op 'n koue aand is daar verwarmers en elektriese komberse en vir die somer 'n lugversorger. Lynette is 'n uitstekende gasvrou en ons sal graag weer by hulle oorstaan.

Excellent value for money.

We haven't spent the night in a place where so much attention has been paid to the small details. From the wonderful meals prepared with so much care to the small medicine box in the bathroom, you get the feeling of a luxury hotel. Room was painfully neat and very spacious. On a cold night there are heaters and electric blankets and for the summer an air conditioner. Lynette is an excellent hostess and we would love to stay with them again.

Sy het aan al die klein goedjies gedink wat die plek verander in 'n 5 ster-ervaring. Ons het die "Picnic Braai Basket" bestel en die kos was so vars en ongelooflik lekker. Ons sal hierdie plek vir enige iemand aanbeveel.

Morning Glory Cottages are very neat, well maintained and very beautiful. The owner has put so much effort into making sure you get value for money. She thought of all the little things that turn the place into a 5 star experience. We ordered the "Picnic Braai Basket" and the food was so fresh and incredibly tasty. We would recommend this place to anyone.

Baie lekker gekuier.

Kamer is lekker ruim en mooi skoon. Hierdie is 'n perdeplaas en as gevolg daarvan was daar baie vlieë wat die kuier bederf het. Bietjie uit die pad as jy op die N1 ry.

Plaasplesier met diere-interaksies, wye ruimtes om in rond te loop en ’n plaspoel om in af te koel.

’n Stukkie hemel in die Karoo waar mens weer jou siel kan vind in die ooptes. Ons kon vriende maak met die nuuskierige Nguni-beeste, die perde troetel en die bok-hanslammers melk gee. Heerlike, ruim kamer met alles wat mens nodig het en ’n pragtige tuin om jou in tuis te maak. Die kroegie het ons lafenis gebied in die hitte en die plaspoel was verfrissend. Marene het ons die plaas gaan wys en ons het nuwe dinge geleer oor die natuur. Ons kon ronddwaal na hartelus en het pragtige foto's geneem van die diere en die natuur.

Farm fun with animal interactions, wide spaces to walk around and a splash pool to cool off.

A piece of heaven in the Karoo where you can find your soul in the open again. We were able to make friends with the curious Nguni cattle, pet the horses and give the bottle-fed lambs milk. Lovely, spacious room with everything you need and a beautiful garden to make you feel at home. The bar offered us a treat in the heat and the pool was refreshing. Marene showed us the farm and we learned new things about nature. We were able to wander around to our heart's content and take beautiful pictures of the animals and nature.

Beyond expectations!

We stayed 2 nights to explore the greater area of the Gariep Dam. Our stay at Morning Glory Cottages was fabulous and we enjoyed every aspect of our stay. A special thanks to Lynnette who looked after us and gave a lot of informative background on the workings of the farm which made our time there so much more interesting! The extra attention to detail of creature comforts in our unit is first class. We spent our 3rd night in Gariep Dam itself and really longed to be back at Morning Glory Cottages. Being in the countryside, on a working farm and in great and relaxing accommodation is far more superior to the fab housing offered in the dorp. Nothing but praise and fond memories for Morning Glory Cottages!

Oase in Karoo.

Lynette het ons vriendelik ontvang en alles gewys. Ons het lekker gaan stap op die plaas na ‘n lang tyd in die kar en het ook die wonderlike perde gesien. Die aandete was te heerlik en is voorberei deur Marene. Sy het alles pragtig verduidelik wat in die ete was. Dit is so vreedsaam en rustig op Gelykfontein. Ek kan dit ten hoogste aanbeveel om ‘n rukkie hier te bly. Vir my was dit ‘n trip down memory lane want ek het ongeveer 50 jaar gelede in Venterstad gebly terwyl my ouers op die Gariep Dam gewerk het terwyl dit gebou is. Ek was baie bly oor my keuse om hier te bly. Marene het ook baie ingelegde geodere wat sy verkoop. Dit was die eerste keer dat ek Karoo-komkommer kon eet. Baie lekker.

Oasis in Karoo.

Lynette received us kindly and showed us everything. We had a nice walk on the farm after a long time in the car and also saw the wonderful horses. The dinner was too delicious and was prepared by Marene. She explained beautifully everything that was in the meal. It is so peaceful and quiet on Gelykfontein. I can highly recommend staying here for a while. For me it was a trip down memory lane because I lived in Venterstad around 50 years ago while my parents worked on the Gariep Dam while it was being built. I was very happy with my choice to stay here. Marene also has many inlaid geodes that she sells. It was the first time I could eat Karoo cucumber. Very nice.

Uitstekende, vriendelike diens en gasvryheid.

Ons is hartlik ontvang. Die cottages is uitstekend toegerus. Die diens was beslis die heel beste van al die plekke wat ons al besoek het. Die personeel was baie vriendelik en het uit hul pad gegaan om aan al ons behoeftes te voldoen. Ons was soos konings behandel en bederf. Beslis meer as 5 sterre werd! Ons sal beslis weer by Morning Glory Cottages oorslaap. Dankie aan al hul personeel vir al die vriendelikheid en gasvryheid.

Excellent, friendly service and hospitality.

We were warmly received. The cottages are well equipped. The service was definitely the best of all the places we visited. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to meet all our needs. We were treated like kings and spoiled. Definitely worth more than 5 stars! We will definitely stay at Van Villa 2 again. Thank you to all their staff for all the kindness and hospitality.

Rus vir die siel.

Wat 'n lekker plekkie om te oornag. Kinders het so lekker gespeel op die plaas. Kamers is pragtig met alles wat jou hart begeer - selfs noodkassie met Panado en Eno’s in. Die piekniek-braaimandjie wat ons bestel het was heerlik. Ons sal vir seker weer terug wees.

Eenvoudig fantasties!

Wat 'n wonderlike verrassing was Morning Glory nie! Hulle dra jou op die hande. Die aandag aan elke klein detail is ongelooflik. Ons het so bederf gevoel. Met suigstokkies op elke kind se bed, wat meer kan 'n mens vra. Beslis 'n fantastiese stop as jy reis tussen Jhb en die Kaap. Dis die perfekte stop in die middel. En gaan kyk beslis na die Gariepdam. Ek sal enige tyd weer daar oornag. En vir ons perde liefhebbers kon dit nie beter nie. Baie baie dankie Morning Glory Cottages.

What a wonderful surprise Morning Glory was! They carry you on their hands. The attention to every little detail is incredible. We felt so spoiled. With lollipops on every child's bed, what more could one ask for. Definitely a fantastic stop if you are traveling between Jhb and the Cape. It's the perfect stop in the middle. And definitely check out the Gariep Dam. I would stay there again anytime. And for us horse lovers it couldn't be better. Thank you very much Morning Glory Cottages.

Die akkommodasie is baie gerieflik, skoon en netjies. Puik braaigeriewe is beskikbaar. Die gasvrou is baie behulpsaam en vriendelik. Wat my egter bekoor het, is die rustigheid van hierdie mooi plaas en dan veral die omliggende natuurskoon.

Vriendelik ontvang en ingelig deur Lynette. Akkommodasie, ruim, gerieflik en veilig. Pragtige omgewing. Die tuin, ontvangs en restaurantarea skep 'n bekoorlike "village" prentjie. Die hoogtepunt was natuurlik Marene se keurig voorbereide aandete. Elke dis was ook persoonlik deur haar, met sorg, aan ons verduidelik sommer met 'n paar wenke op die koop toe. Dit verdien beslis spesiale vermelding. Dankie julle, vir 'n heerlike ervaring.

Dear Nico,

Thank you for your recent visit as we just loved having you here.

We appreciate your feedback and will be trying to look at how we can minimize spillage in the shower. For now, we give extra bath mats to soak up the spillage. I guess having a pressure pump system to assist does not help the situation.

Dear Anton,

Thank you for the feedback and rating, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. We apologise about the bad cellphone signals in the rooms, but due to where we are we just fall in a dead spot and service providers have not been able to help with a solution in the area, however to assist with this we installed a little repeater tower under the Lapa and Braai area near the Reception and Bar area in the main garden. So the majority of people that visit us in the area use their mobile phones whilst sipping on a glass of wine and enjoying the garden. We hope to have you visit us again in the near future and wishing you the best for 2018.

'n Heerlike uitspan en ontspan na heeldag op d pad!

Ons het in sarsies by Morning Glory aangekom en die ontvangs was elke keer hartlik. Ons het daar aangekom na 'n hewige donderstorm net voor 6nm en hulle was reeds weer besig om die werf in orde te kry vir hul gaste! Ons het die braai-opsie gekies en dit was 'n heerlike ervaring. Alles voorsien en gereed en dit was heerlik!

Ons het omtrent 2009 vir die eerste keer daar oorgeslaap en hierdie jaar het ek besluit ek gaan weer. Vir seker een van ons land se topgastehuise. Ek het my verblyf geniet, die ligging van Morning Glory is perfek, personeel is vriendelik en diens is uitstekend. Ontbyt en aandete is voortreflik. Pragtige koel kamers. Baie dankie aan almal by Morning Glory, sien julle in 2018.

Absolute oasis.

We stayed there for the first time around 2009 and this year I decided to go again. For sure one of our country's top guesthouses. I enjoyed my stay, the location of Morning Glory is perfect, staff are friendly and service is excellent. Breakfast and dinner are excellent. Beautiful cool rooms. Many thanks to everyone at Morning Glory, see you in 2018.

Plaaslike lekker kos en gasvryheid, ons sal definitief weer daar oorslaap!

Ons het lekker gebly en vreeslik lekker geëet by Morning Glory! Die aandetes is definitief die hoogtepunt met hoë kwaliteit plaaslike bestanddele en goeie Karoo-skaapvleis. Die pragtige perdeplaas, Gelykfontein lewer baie ander verrassings op as jy meer as een aand oorslaap in die Gariep area. Doen jouself 'n guns en koop 'n ingelegte bottel konfyt van jou keuse om by die huis te geniet. As jy Kaap toe ry, doen jouself 'n guns en slaap hier oor.

Local good food and hospitality, we will definitely stay over again!

We had a lovely stay and a very good meal at Morning Glory! The dinner is definitely the highlight with high quality local ingredients and good Karoo mutton. The beautiful horse farm, Gelykfontein is full of surprises if you stay over for more than one night in the Orange area. Do yourself a favor and buy a bottle of canned jam of your choice to enjoy at home. If you drive to the Cape, do yourself a favor and stay over here.

Ons was baie aangenaam verras met alles wat ons by Morning Glory Cottages gekry het.

Van die oomblik wat ons daar aangekom het is ons vriendelik gegroet, ingeboek sonder enige probleme, alles is mooi aan ons verduidelik in die kamer en in die gastehuis. Ons kamer was baie netjies en volledig toegerus met alles wat mens kan nodig kry en baie smaakvol ingerig. Die hoogtepunt was beslis die kos en ons 3-gang aandete was uit die boonste rakke en kan met enige goeie restaurant vergelyk word. Ook die ontbyt was baie puik, alles met sorg voorberei. Daar was ook gedurig persoonlike aandag. As ons weer in daardie omgewing kom sal ons beslis weer daar tuisgaan en ons kan dit 100% aanbeveel.

The highlight was definitely the food and our 3-course dinner was fantastic and can be compared to any good restaurant. The breakfast was also excellent, everything prepared with care. We also received a lot of personal attention. If we return to the area, we will definitely stay there again and we recommend it 100%.

Goeiedag Danie,
Baie dankie vir jul terugvoering asook gradering. Ons vra om verskoning oor die vlieë. 'n Paar dae voor jul besoek het ons reën gehad en alhoewel ons geweldig dankbaar oor die reën was in hierdie dorre wêreld, bring dit ook meer vlieë saam. Ons spuit weekliks en het ook in die kamers insek weerders asook insek gif. Ongelukkig is vlieë, miere, spinnekoppe ensovoorts deel van die plaas lewe, maar verseker dat ons kamers deeglik en daagliks gediens word.
Dit word duidelik op LekkeSlaap en TravelGround se webblad aangedui waar ons geleë is, nie net in die beskrywing nie, maar ook op 'n kaart. Ek sal aan almal wat op LekkeSlaap bespreek, voorstel om altyd op die kaart te kyk waar 'n gastehuis geleë is voor hul bespreek. Ons is 20 minute vanaf die N1 as jy die Gariep Damwal afrit neem en geleë teen die R58, wat die hoof roete tussen Gauteng, Port Elizabeth, Addo ensovoorts is.
Ons hoop om jul binnekort weer terug hier te ontvang in ons veilige omgewing waar mens nog die natuurskoon kan waardeer en ervaar.
Groete

Wat 'n wonderlike plek om oor te bly na 'n lang dag op die pad. Elke klein dingetjie is aan gedink om die verblyf hier gerieflik te maak. Die gasvryheid is uit 'n ander wêreld en die omgewing prentjiemooi! Ons het bespreek vir die aandete en dit was elke sent die moeite werd en meer.

Great stopover on the way back to Johannesburg.

Very pretty in the trees with an awesome little pool. We enjoyed walking around looking at the baby animals and horses. Delicious dinner! Great stay on our way back to Jhb. It would have been nice if the kids got a chance to feed the animals, but we only found out it was an option after they had been fed. Dinner was really delicious and they catered for the kids too. A really lovely stopover! Thank you!

Morning Glory Cottages 's response

Morning Lauren,
It was great hosting you again, apologies about kiddies missing the feeding, sometimes the guys has so much to do on the farm that they forget to come get the kids as they have to finish feeding all the horses and other work too. We normally tell guests to keep a look out for feeding time. Glad that you enjoyed your visit and hope to see you soon again. Thank you for the feedback and visit.
PS. the baby animals Cecelia (eland) and tiny + brandy ( nguni calfs) are doing great.
Have a blessed year.

Die rustigheid van die plaasatmosfeer was baie verwelkomend, gerieflik na 'n lang warm reis.

Die oorslaap geriewe was baie netjies en goed ingerig. Daar was aandag gegee aan fyner detail om dit mooi af te rond. Die personeel was baie vriendelik en behulp saam. Ek sal die rustigheid en gasvryheid voorwaar aanbeveel.

The peaceful farm atmosphere was so welcome and convenient after a long, hot trip.

The facilities for staying over were very neat. Attention was paid to the finer details. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would surely recommend this place for its hospitality and peacefulness.

Stil, rustige plaasatmosfeer.

Baie vriendelike ontvangs. Die aandete was heerlik en baie goed voorberei. Die eenheid was goed toegerus en baie netjies en gemaklik. Ons was onder die indruk dat dit nader aan die Gariepdam se wal was en dit was die enigste nadeel.

Quiet, relaxing farm atmosphere.

Very friendly reception. Delicious dinner and very well prepared. Well equipped and neat unit, very comfortable. We thought it was closer to the banks of the Gariep Dam and this was the only disadvantage.

More Bernadette, baie dankie vir jul onlangse besoek, ek is bly jul het dit geniet.
Orals op ons beskrywings noem ons dat ons op 'n plaas geleë is en dat ons 9 km vanaf Venterstad geleë is, maar dat dit 'n 20 minute se ry is tot by die N1 / Gariep dam wal. Die Gariep dam is 90 km lank en as dit vol is vul 'n area van 430 kubieke meter. So dit is moeilik om te beskryf dat ons miskien nie reg langs die damwal geleë is nie maar wel 9 km vanaf die naaste oewer by Oviston geleë is, ons lê ook regs langs die Oviston Natuurreservaat wat saam met die Gariep natuurreservaat reg rondom die dam loop. Ons val wel onder die Gariep Distrik en vir mense op pad na die Oos Kaapse provinsie kus is ons op die hoofpad geleë.
Weereens dit was n plesier om jul hier by ons te he asook die terugvoering te ontvang en ons hoop om jul gou weer hier te ontvang.
Groetnis
Marene

Uitstekende oornagverblyf tussen Gauteng en die Oos-Kaap.

Besondere gasvryheid het ons hier ervaar. 'n Pragtige kamer met alles wat mens benodig vir oorslaap in die pragtige Karoo. Lynette se verwelkoming was hartlik en sjef Marené se kos uit die boonste rakke. Sal beslis weer hier wil oorbly.

Uitsonderlike diens, kos en gasvryheid!

Soveel ekstra moeite is gedoen, soos om 'n kot in die kamer in te dra vir ons baba. Die heerlikste kos, mooiste tuin en lekker beddens! Kamer en badkamer was mooi, skoon en ruim. Morning Glory word ten sterkste aanbeveel!! Baie dankie aan die span!
