Skoon en netjies. Moenie ontbyt mis nie.

Ja. Baie lekker. Kamer was skoon en netjies. Ontbyt was lekker en the host was baie behulpsaam. Dis so 8 km van die hoofpad, so jy hoor nie die geraas van die verkeer nie. Ons sal beslis weer daar gaan oorslaap.

Clean and tidy. Don't miss breakfast.

Yes. Very nice. Room was clean and tidy. Breakfast was nice and the host was very helpful. It's about 8 km from the main road, so you don't hear the noise of the traffic. We will definitely stay there again.

Well positioned, relaxing stopover with beautifully appointed rooms.

The room was beautifully appointed and the farm itself is tranquil and well positioned for an overnight stop. One improvement I would suggest is to have a small fridge in the room. Travellers will often have water or other refreshments that they want for their trip and being able to refrigerate these at night is useful.

Gasvrye, vriendelike, pragtige verblyf!

New Holme het dadelik soos huis gevoel. Die gasheer het ons hartlik ontvang en ons het heerlike geselskappe met hom en die personeel geniet. Hulle het ons spesiaal opgegradeer na die pragtige houthuis, sodat ons gemaklik kon werk, met goeie WiFi. Die aandete en ontbyt was van uitstekende gehalte. Die pragtige lodge het soveel om te bied en ons sal dit hoogs aanbeveel!

The beautiful lodge has so much to offer and we would highly recommend it!

Heerlike rusplek tussen Midrand en die Kaap.

Ons het twee nagte oorgebly by New Holme in Desember 2022 op pad vanaf Kagga Kamma terug na Midrand. Pragtige rustige omgewing. Heerlike etes en goeie diens. Hoogs aan te beveel vir oorbly of selfs 'n paar dae afpak.

The food was wonderful, and the hosts were welcoming, however, the bathroom in the main bedroom had a perpetual poo smell. Whatever we did, we could not get rid of the smell. I would recommend placing an extraction fan in that bathroom.

Good overnight stay.

We stayed in the self catering log cabin. It's good as an option for overnight stay but I wouldn't stay longer than 1 night. We had bats in our roof and could hear them all night, probably hard to keep them out. Also a very strong smell in the one kitchen cupboard that stores the glasses. So didn't use the glassware. The air con in the lounge didn't work but they did work in the bedrooms which was a great relief. However I would actually go back there and still recommend as it's a great location, beautiful scenery, lovely pool and access to the restaurant and bar.

Oase in die middel van die Karoo. Die ligging is fantasties en, alhoewel ons slegs oorgebly het vanaf die Kaap kan ons dit definitief aanbeveel vir 'n vakansiebestemming.

Pragtige, ruim en smaakvol gemeubileerde kamers. Het aandete bespreek en kos was fantasties. New Holme is deel van die Karoo Gariep Private Conservancy en bied soveel meer as net 'n oornag bestemming. Vir natuurliefhebbers en mense wat net wil wegkom en rustigheid soek is hierdie defnitief 'n langer besoek die moeite werd.

Beautiful, spacious and tastefully furnished rooms. Booked dinner and food was fantastic.

For nature lovers and people who just want to get away and seek tranquility, this is definitely worth a longer visit.

Aangename atmosfeer op die plaas - huislik en jy voel onmiddellik tuis.

Die eerste oornag het ons in die lodge geëet - die kos was absoluut 5-ster en heerlik. Die tweede oornag op pad huis toe was dit 'n braai op die koppie, baie basies maar kos en uitsig was "great".

Ons het lekker gekuier.

Ons het net een aand oor geslaap. Die kos was heerlik - regte plaaskos asook 'n baie keurige voorgereg. Dis 'n geval van die kos is heerlik en die buffet het 'n groot verskeidenheid - te veel om van alles te proe. Daar was een of ander probleem met werknemers, want dit lyk of die familie self moes inspring om almal te help. Die diens was egter steeds goed. Ons het 'n heerlike voëlkykrit saam met PC gehad - met 'n hele paar "lifers". Ons sal graag wil teruggaan vir die ander spesiale voëls wat ons die keer gemis het.

It's a case of the food is delicious and the buffet has a great variety - too much to taste everything. There was some problem with employees, as it seems the family themselves had to step in to help everyone. However, the service was still good. We had a great bird watching trip with PC - with quite a few "lifers". We would love to go back for the other special birds we missed last time.

Lovely place and well located, but needs polishing.

The rooms are tired and need re-modelling. One of our rooms also smelt like cat pee. The owners were very busy preparing the food for the evening (which was delicious) and although willing to assist with anything we wanted they had to be sought out on the premises which was a bit awkward.

New Holme Nature Lodge 's response

Hi Michael,
Thanks for this , we will make sure in what room you were and look at the smell. With half our annual rain in one week and 4 trees throwing down huge branches in this storms we are a bit behind with the garden. Though very thankful for the rain. We also jumped form a 30 guest lodge to a 55 guest lodge in 2020 and all gardens , grass and overall look is not 100%. Sorry for this but please test us in 8 months time again. We just had 1654 guest from 1 Dec to 14 Jan ( the best ever) we are broken and will take a 2 week break.
Thanks for keeping us on out toes, we appreciate.
Regards,
pc Ferreira

Indien u op soek is na eg Suid-Afrikaanse gasvryheid is hierdie net die regte plek. Met die aankoms voel mens sommer tuis en die besoek het met elke uur net beter geraak. Van 'n seekoeitoer tot die driegangmaaltyd wat voorgesit is kan mens regtig nie vir beter vra nie. Die eienaars gaan uit hul pad om jou verblyf so gerieflik as moontlik te maak.

We had a really wonderful time. It was far more interesting than we expected - the family are involved in bringing hippos back to the area after they disappeared more than 200 years ago and it was fascinating to hear the story.

Hulle was ongelooflik gasvry, die kos was hemels en dit was 'n heerlike lafenis na die lang pad! Beveel dit aan! Bly sommer meer as 1 aand en geniet die plaas.

Unieke oorslaapgeleentheid.

Lieflike werkende plaas, gerieflike akkommodasie (houthuis). Daar was egter geen skottelgoedseep of lappe en vadoeke beskikbaar nie. Paar vlekke op beddegoed. Het dit egter baie geniet en het groot waardering vir die eienaars en hulle hele aanslag met die reservaat en teelprogram.

Lovely working farm, comfortable accommodation (log house). However, there was no dish soap or cloths and dishcloths available. Few stains on bedding. Enjoyed it a lot though and have great appreciation for the owners and their whole approach with the reserve and breeding program.

Gemaklik!

Na die lang pad het ons heerlik in die rustige tuin kon ontspan. Lekker gestap en kon na aan die elande en ander wild kom deur net om die akkommodasie te stap. Ek wil graag 'n pluimpie uitdeel aan die kok! Die kos was besonder keurig, mooi voorgesit en uiters smaaklik.

Lekker Karoo gastehuis.

Ons het nege jaar gelede die eerste keer hier oornag, en dit is nog steeds 'n lekker ervaring. 'n Egte Karoo gastehuis. Dis doodstil in die nag, en die helemruim is vol sterre. PC (eienaar) het ons ontvang en Mariska is die chef. Die kos is baie goed en die eetsaal is tipies Karoo styl. Hanover is in die middel tussen Gauteng en Kaapstad, en is dus uitstekend geleë vir 'n oornagstop. PC neem sy gaste om na die seekoeie te kyk, voëls te kyk of 'n nagrit.

Nice Karoo guesthouse.

We stayed here for the first time 9 years ago and it was a nice experience again. A true Karoo guesthouse. It is very quiet at night and the sky is full of stars. PC (owner) received us and Mariska was the chef. The food is very good and the dining hall is typical Karoo-style. Hanover is in the middle between Gauteng and Cape Town and it is ideally situated for an overnight stop. PC takes his guests to look at the hippos and birds or on a game drive.

Rustigheid en gasvryheid in die Karoo.

Ons het in Stoffel Rus geslaap, die houthuis was gerieflik met alles wat mens nodig het. Ons was met gasvryheid ontvang, en het dadelik tuis gevoel. Dit was iets anders om die elande op die plaas van naby te kon sien, dit het ‘n rustige atmosfeer geskep. Die verblyf sou wel meer ideaal gewees het as die houthuis sy eie braaigeriewe gehad het.

Tranquility and hospitality in the Karoo.

We slept in Stoffel Rus, the log house was comfortable with everything you need. We were received with hospitality, and immediately felt at home. It was something else to be able to see the moose on the farm up close, it created a peaceful atmosphere. The accommodation would have been more ideal if the wooden house had its own braai facilities.

Heerlik rustig, stil en naby aan die natuur. Kos uit die boonste rakke - erg Karoo! Gasvryheid soos net in die Karoo te wagte kan wees!

Was eers onseker of die afdraai die regte een was, maar gelukkig na 1 km was daar nog 'n bordjie wat wys New Holm 7 km. Ek is met ope arms ontvang en sedertdien het die tyd net te vinnig verby gevlieg. Het nie die seekoeie kon vind nie maar die voëllewe by die rivier het opgemaak daarvoor. Annemie, jy is voorwaar 'n bobaas kok! Hoop om weer die voorreg te hê eendag nadat dit gereën het, daar te kan tuis gaan. Voorspoed.

Wonderfully peaceful, quiet and close to nature. Top shelf food - very Karoo! Hospitality as can only be expected in the Karoo!

Was unsure at first if the turning was the right one, but luckily after 1 km there was another sign showing New Holm 7 km. I was welcomed with open arms and since then the time just flew by too fast. Couldn't find the manatees but the bird life by the river made up for it. Annemie, you are truly a master cook! Hope to have the privilege again one day after it rains, to be able to go home there.

Wonderlik, sielsverkwikkend. Kan dit regtig aanbeveel.

Ons het ons nag in die Karoo Gariep Conservancy baie geniet. Die seekoeie was ongelukkig bietjie skaam en het net so paar keer vir ons geloer. Die buffet-braai met voorgereg, hoofgereg en nagereg was heerlik en ons het omtrent gesmul. Dan was daar die pragtige sonsondergang wat mens van die uitkykdakkie kon geniet en die swembad om in af te koel. Die plek het regtig karakter met 'n baie vriendelike gasvrou en gasheer. Die sterre in die Karoo-donkernag is só helder en voel so naby dit voel of jy 'n sterretjie kan pluk. Ons het ook verskietende sterre gesien. Die Melkweg was die mooiste mooiste mooi. Vir ontbyt 'n vinnige koffie en beskuit saam met mak tarentale, 'n lammetjie gestreel en 'n kalfie gesien bokspring van pure lewensvreugde in die vroegoggend varsheid van die Karoo. Dit was regtig 'n ondervinding wat ek lank sal onthou. Die enigste nadeel is die grondpad wat mens moet ry om daar uit te kom, maar volgens my is dit wel die moeite werd.

Wonderful, soul-invigorating. Can really recommend it.

We really enjoyed our night in the Karoo Gariep Conservancy. The hippos were unfortunately a bit shy and only peeked at us a few times. The buffet barbecue with starter, main course and dessert was delicious and we pretty much feasted. Then there was the beautiful sunset that one could enjoy from the observation deck and the swimming pool to cool off in. The place really has character with a very friendly hostess and host. The stars in the Karoo dark night are so bright and feel so close it feels like you could pick a star. We also saw shooting stars. The Milky Way was the most beautiful beautiful. For breakfast a quick coffee and rusks together with tame guinea fowl tongues, petting a lamb and seeing a calf jump from sheer joy of life in the early morning freshness of the Karoo. It was really an experience that I will remember for a long time. The only downside is the dirt road you have to drive to get there, but in my opinion it is well worth it.

'n Juweel van 'n plek.

Heerlike, gerieflike kamers met mooi meubels, 'n lekker swembad en fantastiese aandete in die middel van nêrens. Die dek vir sterrekyk is ook fantasties. Die aanwysings na die plek kan 'n bietjie duideliker gestel word - die afdraai is op linkerkant, 25 km op die N1 vanaf Hanover na Colesberg. Dan ry 'n mens nog 8 km op 'n goeie grondpad na die plaas.

It was a great overnight experience! So sorry we only stayed one night. The owners are very hospitable, friendly, put you at ease. The meals were wonderful, especially the traditional barbecue in the field on New Year's Eve. Will definitely make a stop again!

Die huisie was baie netjies en die aandete was heerlik.

Ons het net gesukkel om die kaart te verstaan en was nie seker na watter gastehuis ons moes ry nie.

The house was very neat and the dinner was delicious.

We just had trouble understanding the map and weren't sure which guest house we should drive to.

Family with young children

Uitstekende oorstopplek op pad Kaap toe.

Die kinders het die oornag baie geniet. Lekker geswem, geëet en geslaap. Baie vriendelike ontvangs en 'n lekker rustige atmosfeer. Regtig aan te beveel as jy uit Johannesburg/Pretoria of Noorde op pad Kaap toe is en 'n bietjie wil rus. Ek dink ook dit kan 'n baie lekker vir langer vakansies wees, veral as die jong kinders hou van buite op 'n plaas speel.

Excellent stopover on the way to the Cape.

The children really enjoyed the overnight stay. Nicely swam, ate and slept. Very friendly reception and a nice peaceful atmosphere. Really recommended if you are heading to the Cape from Johannesburg/Pretoria or the North and want to rest a bit. I also think it could be very nice for longer holidays, especially if the young children like to play outside on a farm.

Rustig, skoonheid van natuur, verwelkoming van gaste!

Ek het die rustigheid en die skoonheid van die natuur verwelkom. Die verwelkoming van die gaste is van top gehalte. Dankie vir 'n mooi plekkie om 'n moeë lyf te kon rus.

Skoon en netjies.

Die mense was baie gasvry, en die verblyf skoon en netjies. Ons het net gevoel die aandete was nie die geld werd nie. Toe ons die volgende oggend opstaan, het ons ook geen water gehad nie.

Clean and tidy.

The people were very hospitable, and the accommodation clean and tidy. We just felt the dinner was not worth the money. When we got up the next morning, we had no water either.

Kort, maar lekker.

Ek het net 1 aand hier oorgeslaap. Dit was heel gerieflik en netjies. Die diens is vriendelik en die kos was baie lekker en die moeite werd.
