Karoo farm, fresh air, quiet peace, quiet, pure farm.
We really enjoyed staying at the accommodation. It is only about half way to Kgalagadi from Cape Town. There is no 220V (that we knew of) but there are lights and a fantastic ice/freezer which apparently runs on wind/solar/battery power. We grilled delicious lamb chops and ribs (just bought a whole lamb from De Kraal Slaghuis in Brandvlei) in the fresh Karoo air. We would love to stay at the Karooplaas again.

Very nice pit stop.
Had a wonderful stay. There is no cell phone reception or power plugs. However, there is a car charger where a mobile phone can be charged. The house has lights and equipped gas geysers, stove etc. Is located at R27 which gives a feeling of insecurity, although it was safe.

Quiet.
We chose this over accommodation in Brandvlei itself. The quiet farm was a very good discharge. Two items that may count for other customers: 1. Farm pond was not clean for swimming. 2. No Eskom power, ie inverter that lights and a mobile phone charger. It wasn't a problem for one night, but I think it's necessary to put this clearly on the website.

Always nice!
It's always fun for me to stay at Oom Benna's. The house is tidy, well equipped and nice and big with a massive yard and lots of privacy. It's close enough to the town and just off the main road between Kenhardt and Brandvlei on a beautiful Boesmanland farm. Oom Benna's is my number 1 choice when I go to Brandvlei, especially because my Scotties are also welcome.

Nice overnight campsite.
We stayed one night at Oom Bennas on our journey from north to south through the country. The facilities are basic, but very neat. We were kindly received by the owner and were provided with everything we needed.

Delicious Karoo visit on a farm.
Nice big farmhouse with lots of atmosphere. After a hot day on the road, jumping into the swimming pool was first class. Grilled on the stoep and hung out. The ideal overnight stop between Kgalagadi and the Cedar Mountains. Would stay here again.

Totally exceeded our expectations.
We were pleasantly surprised with the spacious, neat and comfortable rooms. Each room with its own bathroom. It was definitely more than we expected and will definitely recommend it to our friends. Also just about halfway between the Cape and Kgalagadi. Thank you Heila for your effort and hospitality!

I had a great stay.
I had to work in the Brandvlei area and had a great time at Oom Benna's, especially since I was allowed to bring my doggies along. The house was neat and spacious and had most of what I needed, but I unfortunately I wasn't aware of the fact that there was no electricity. I appreciate the generator and the 12 V cellphone charger that they provided on short notice because I needed electricity for my work, but I suggest you mention the electricity thing somewhere on the site. I was also very impressed with the little amplifier for my cellphone. I recommend Oom Benna's, especially for holidaymakers.

Back to basics.
We weren't aware that there's no electricity, neither any power points for chargers. No microwave, TV, etc. Therefore okay for spending the night but definitely not for taking your children along. Everything works with gas. There is cellphone signal booster, yet no use if your battery is flat, and I'm not gonna leave my phone in the car to charge.
