Heerlik gerus op Muggefontein in die Karoo.

Die huisie, was baie netjies en skoon vir ons, die buite-area is omhein om dit af te sonder van die res van die plaas en plaasdiere, daarom kon ons Duitse herdershond vrylik rondbeweeg sonder dat ons onself hoef te bekommer oor haar. Die braai-area het alles gehad wat nodig is en ons het elke aand gebraai, ons het vooraf met Helana gereël om hout aan te koop van hulle af sodat ons dit nie hoef saam te ry van ver af nie. Die braai-area is ook onder dak en het genoeg stoele en sitplek vir lekker kuier. Daar is baie spasie vir vuurmaak en daar is 'n wasbak langs die braai wat ek nogal waardeer. Daar is ook 'n plonspoel wat lekker gelyk het, maar ons het nie kans gesien vir dit in die Mei koue nie. Die huisie binne het al die basiese benodighede, mikrogolf, stofie, oondjie, yskas, vrieskas en daar is genoeg warm beddegoed gewees dat niemand snags koud gekry het nie. Daar is ook WiFi wat opvang tot buite by die braai area. Daar is was ook 'n paar bordspeletjies soos Rummikub wat ons goed benut het! Ons het heerlik gestap en gedraf op die plaas tesame met ons hond wat dit ook baie geniet het om in die dam te swem en speel. Die area is tipies Karoo en is beeldskoon, van die sterreryk in die nag tot die sonopkoms en sonsondergang, alles sonder die geraas van die stad. Ons het vreeslik lekker gerus en Helena en Kobus was albei baie gasvry en vriendelik. Ons sal definitief Muggefontein weer besoek!

Have a great time at Muggefontein in the Karoo.

The cottage was very neat and clean for us, the outside area is fenced off to separate it from the rest of the farm and farm animals, therefore our German shepherd dog could move around freely without us having to worry about her. The barbeque area had everything we needed and we barbequed every night, we arranged with Helana in advance to buy wood from them so we didn't have to drive it from far away. The braai area is also under roof and has enough chairs and seating for a nice visit. There is plenty of space for a fire and there is a sink next to the braai which I quite appreciate. There is also a splash pool which looked nice, but we didn't see a chance for it in the May cold. The house inside has all the basic necessities, microwave, stove, oven, fridge, freezer and there was enough warm bedding that no one got cold at night. There is also WiFi that reaches outside at the braai area. There were also some board games like Rummikub which we put to good use! We had a lovely walk and jog on the farm together with our dog who also really enjoyed swimming and playing in the pond. The area is typical Karoo and is picturesque, from the starry sky at night to the sunrise and sunset, all without the noise of the city. We had a great rest and Helena and Kobus were both very hospitable and friendly. We will definitely visit Muggefontein again!

My perfek gepas vir oornagstop op pad Kaap toe.

Die plaas is mooi stil, geleë in skoonryke deel van die Karoo, braaiplek is uitstekend, alles wat nodig is in die kombuis. Het dit waardeer dat hulle doggy friendly is.

Lekker plek om oor te slaap.

Baie mooi natuurskoon en pragtige sonsondergang en -opkoms. Mens moet 'n Karoo-ribbetjie en tjoppies by die eienaar koop en op die kole braai. Sal vir seker weer daar draai.

Ons het heerlik ontspan en familietyd geniet tydens ons langnaweek op Muggefontein.

Helena is 'n uitstekende gasvrou, haar kommunikasie vooraf en tydens ons verblyf baie goed. Die huis is goed en gemaklik toegerus. Aande om die vuur buite met 'n etenstafel was heerlik. Die plaas is netjies versorg en daar is mooi roetes om die pragtige natuur en berge wat omring te bewonder. Ons hoop vir reën om die knellende droogte vir die mense daar te verlig! Helena se lamsvleispakke en gebakte brood kan ek hoog aanbeveel. Die huis is naby aan die grootpad, maar met baie min verkeer en g'n siel in sig vir kilometers aaneen, het ons veilig gevoel. Dit bly 'n reuse bonus om ons twee hondjies te kon saamneem en te weet hulle is net so welkom daar as ons.

We had a wonderful time relaxing and enjoying family time during our long weekend at Muggefontein.

Helena is an excellent hostess, her communication before and during our stay very good. The house is well and comfortably equipped. Evenings around the fire outside with a dining table were lovely. The farm is neatly maintained and there are nice routes to admire the beautiful nature and mountains that surround. We hope for rain to ease the crippling drought for the people there! I can highly recommend Helena's lamb meat packs and baked bread. The house is close to the main road, but with very little traffic and not a soul in sight for miles on end, we felt safe. It remains a huge bonus to be able to take our two dogs with us and know they are as welcome there as we are.

Fantasmagoriese wegbreek!

As jy ’n afgesonderde wegbreek soek, net so bietjie stilte, skoon lug en weg van die allerdaagse gejaag en tegnologie, is Muggefontein defnitief die plek.

Aardse eenvoud in grootse ruimte - iets heel besonders.

Dis 'n lieflike pad tussen Fraserburg en Leeu Gamka, en indien stilte en klip en berge en eindelose ruimte jou ding is, is Muggefontein die ideale plek. Vir my was dit. Loop sodra jy stilgehou het veld in. Jy sal 'n plaaswerker in die voetpad sien aankom. Vra hom waar jy selfoonsien kan kry. Hy sal jou sê dit hang af watter een jy soek. MTN? Hy sal jou wys na 'n koppie aan die ander kant. Loop daar op, sal hy sê. Daar staan 'n bruin JoJo-tenk; langs hom kry jy die sein. Maar op pad soontoe moet, jy by die kraalmuur gaan staan en kyk hoe daardie klip gepak is. Kyk lank, want so iets moet jy lank bekyk. O ja, daar is 'n klein olyfboord, en in die kombuis is bottels olyfolie wat jy kan koop. Muggefontein-olyfolie.

Earthly simplicity in vast space - something very special.

It's a lovely road between Fraserburg and Leeu Gamka, and if silence and rock and mountains and endless space is your thing, Muggefontein is the ideal place. To me it was. Take a walk into the veld as soon as you have arrived. You will see a farm worker in the footpath. Ask him where you can get cellphone service. He will tell you it depends what one you are looking for. MTN? He will point you to a koppie on the other side. Walk up there, he will say. There is a brown JoJo tank; next to him you will get signal. But on the way there, you have to visit the kraalmuur and see how that stone is packed. Take your time, because you have to look at this for a long time. Oh, there is a small olive orchard, and in the kitchen there are bottles of olive oil that you can buy. Muggefontein olive oil.

Onvergeetlik, goed vir die siel.

Selfs al was die hele distrik sonder krag was dit die beste waarde vir geld. Uitmuntende diens en smullekker roosterkoek en skaaptjoppies. Kerslig en Karoorantjies wat ingekleur word deur skape wat wei. Die hoogtepunt was die buitestort met heerlike warm water. Onbeskryflik lekker.

Unforgettable, good for the soul.

Even if the whole district was without power it was the best value for money. Excellent service and delicious grilled cake and lamb chops. Candlelight and Karoo oranges colored by grazing sheep. The highlight was the outdoor shower with delicious hot water. Indescribably delicious.

Dit was 'n gemaklike en pragtige aand in die Karoo.

Wat 'n ervaring. Ons moes een aand oornag op reis na Kaapstad. Dit het al ons verwagtinge oortref. Die huis is volledig toegerus met niks wat kort. 'n Mens kan skaaptjoppies by die eienaars koop om te braai wat doeksag is. Sal definitief weer daar bly, maar dié keer 'n bietjie langer!

What an experience. We had to spend the night one night on our way to Cape Town. It exceeded all our expectations. The house is fully equipped with nothing missing. One can buy mutton chops from the owners to grill which are soft as a cloth. Will definitely stay there again, but this time for a little longer!
