Osfontein Antieke Klip Guesthouses and Treehouse 's response
Ons is bly die gaste het die huisie geniet. Jammer dat u dink die 9kg gasbottel vir die gasstofie is 'n probleem. Dit is die eerste klagte in 27 jaar ivbm die gasbottel. Volgens wetgewing en regulasies is dit toelaatbaar. Daar is voldoende lug sirkulasie, so ons glo dit is volgens die nodige standaarde.
Gas verwarmers werk ook binnenshuis met 9kg gasbottels.
Vriendelike groete

Osfontein Kliphuis can sleep 5 people. There is a nice braai place outside with a table and chairs where you can sit and visit. The cottage inside is beautiful and the beds are clean and comfortable. If you are staying more than one night, definitely pack side dishes, because mutton is for sale from the owners of the farm (from the top shelves). Carnavon is a very small town and everything closes early. Thank you for a nice stay at Osfontein.

Yes, and the lamb chops were delicious! It was really a special experience to be able to spend the night in the corbel house - and that in the grandeur and beauty of our beautiful Karoo! The attention to detail inside the cottage is highly appreciated! We arrived a little late - after flower viewing in Nieuwoudtville - and would recommend that guests arrive early in the afternoon to experience more of the Karoo farm. However, Natasha and Stegmann waited patiently for us - thank you very much! We had a similar experience of stone cottages in Provence, just outside Gordes, where the Bories can also be visited (no accommodation). And when we looked for a place to sleep at Carnarvon, and we saw the Osfontein stone houses, we were so grateful that there was room! It was a privilege to be able to be part of an ancient way of life that Natasha and Stegmann preserve so beautifully. Thank you very much!

Osfontein with its stone buildings reminded me of the book "Grandfather Landman's violin" by G.J. Joubert. The Karoo, sheep, kraal built of stone, migrate with the sheep due to droughts. I was able to integrate myself into the book through what I experienced at Osfontein. And then the Korbeel house, something that South Africans who love this country and are proud of the history of our Voortrekker parents should experience.

Cold! Well, you can't do anything about the weather. But it was cute, compact, comfortable, unique.
We were 4 persons for 3 nights. There is one separate bedroom (no door) and two beds in the entrance hall/kitchen area. Everything is open plan except for the bathroom. Despite the shivering weather, we had a wonderful stay. It was a unique and fun experience. There is one electric light in the bedroom, also candles which gave a nice warm atmosphere. The beds and bedding were deliciously warm, as was the shower (spacious bathroom). You can barbecue outside and it's very private, with nice walking routes. However, the weather had other plans so we couldn't walk much or barbecue outside. There is a lovely indoor fireplace that was burning all the time and where we could also braai. All in all it was a wonderful experience. I would think that the cottage is better suited for 2 people (than for 4) so that there is more space (especially in the kitchen area), and because there is little privacy. Perhaps one of those long dachshund door stoppers could also be provided to block the wind which was blowing under the door and was quite cold. Highly recommended.

Sleeping in a corbel house has been on our wish list for a long time and it became a reality at the end of March this year. Even though we had to deviate almost 40 km from our route, it was worth it over and over again! Osfontein's people, Natasha and Stegmann, receive us with warm hospitality. Our little house, like the two other accommodation options on their farm (Kliphuis and Boomhuis), bears witness to fine planning to give each a unique character. It is elegantly and tastefully furnished and lacks nothing. What an experience to sit in absolute silence on a full moon-lit evening on Korbeelhuis' porch, with a crackling fire's flames leaping skywards. To sit down at the stone table and enjoy the bone-soft lamb chops from the barbecue package that we could order. And then, later, when you climb into bed by candlelight and look up at the high stacked stone dome roof, I am indescribably grateful that we experience this power! I hope I make many people want to have such an adventure now.

The corbel house may be old, but it really has everything you need - and the cool interior was a welcome surprise in the Karoo heat! We had a lovely walk and had a nice barbecue (I'm sorry we didn't buy more!) on the stoep which only gets cool at the right time. Our boy really enjoyed the dogs who came to visit and walk together. It was just an overnight stop for us, but we hope to be able to stay a little longer next time to go cycling and enjoy the tranquility.

What an experience. An old copper bed, delicious, fresh linen and cuddly blankets, nice pillows! Beautiful bathroom that fits perfectly with the structure of the old house.

Overnight in a corbel house has always been on my bucket list and Osfontein's corbel house did not disappoint! The house was very clean and tidy. We arrived a bit late, but Stegman and Natasha welcomed us kindly and had wood ready for the indoor barbecue/fireplace. We slept wonderfully warm, even though it was a cool night and the stars were amazing. We pre-arranged wood with them and regretted not getting mutton chops from them as well. It was much cheaper per kg than in town. What an incredible experience! See you again soon!

Beautifully and creatively thought out. Owners provide delicious mutton directly from their farm, as well as wood for braai. Steps to tree house give nice view - but maybe not recommended for small children (under 5) and older people.

I am very sorry, it was not acceptable that the guests arrived before us on the farm as the guest commented, it was the first time in 20 years that something like that happened. We had to go to the dentist and had a problem with our vehicle. Unfortunately, it took longer to get it back from the garage than expected. I forgot to leave the key in the door for them, which is also my mistake.
We tried our best to apologize and offered the guests discount and lamb chops, but they would not accept anything which made us feel even more terrible.

It was an experience to spend the night in such a house. The owners were very friendly. The cottage was well equipped and although it was very cold, there were warm duvets and enough blankets. The kitchen was also well equipped. A wonderful experience.

An unforgettable place!
The Corbeelhuis is a unique place to stay. It immediately feels familiar, safe and pleasant. The decor is simple, but the bed is good, the shower is special and unexpectedly nice, and the place is priceless! Now a good chimney in the dining room. Don't forget the treehouse, especially in the summer!

Amazing experience!
We were very warmly received - real Karoo hospitality. The stay in the corbel house was an incredible experience. The cottage is so beautifully cared for with the historical element that remains. The stone work is breathtaking and our night by candlelight and fire was an experience. Earlier in the afternoon we could go for a nice walk on the farm and climb a hill to admire the vastness of this beautiful world. We hope to return again soon. Can highly recommend this guest farm. Thank you very much for the opportunity to spend the night here.

The tree house was the ideal place to start our holiday and just settle down for 2 nights. The view from the tent/tree house over the karoo plains was food for our souls. Stay a night or 2 longer and explore Loxton. Had such a great time there. Stegmann and Natasha were fantastic 'landlords' and recommend staying in any of their 3 places.

It was truly an incredible experience to stay in the Korbeel house. We were received very kindly and immediately felt at home. Everything very neat and clean. Very sorry that we only stayed one night. We will definitely go again but for a few days. It is certainly a place where one can switch off and enjoy the tranquility of the farm and Karoo. The meat from the braai packets was very tender and tasty. We also went to see the Kliphuis and Boomhuis, each definitely also has its own charm.

Unfortunately we only stayed one night and it was a very special experience!
It was a lovely experience staying in the corbel cottage, even if it was a bit cramped for four adults. Very neat and clean bedding and the unit has a neat toilet and bathroom. We slept wonderfully in the silence of the Karoo. The owners have managed to achieve a good balance between the historical and modern way of life. Although the cottage has a very nice outdoor barbecue area, we were forced to use the indoor barbecue as it was windy and cold outside. We really enjoyed the indoor barbecue and had a wonderful time around the fire. Unfortunately, the chimney does not draw very well, with the result that everything in the cottage smelled of smoke. It was pretty bad. The owners should pay attention to it. Only candlelight is available which makes it very romantic. I hope the owners never change it. However, I would suggest to guests to bring flashlights and/or headlamps. We struggled a bit in the candlelight with the food preparation and reading. It was great fun staying there though. We want to do it again. It's not the usual guest house. Guests should be prepared to expect something different and something very special!
