Exceeded our expectations.

I have always wanted to stay in a corbelled house and I was delighted with Osfontein. Sensitively restored by the owners to allow one to be comfortable yet be able to feel the history of the building. A warm welcome, vast open spaces, peace and Karoo lamb from the farm on the braai, sitting beneath a star-filled sky - we could not have wished for more.

Onvergeetlik! Lekkerste Karoo lamstjops!

Ons het die lekkerste ervaring van eg-Karoo gasvryheid gehad by die Osfontein Antieke Klip Gastehuise en Boomhuis op Stegman en Natasha se plaas. Een aand was te min. Die afgeskorte braaivuur en lekker Karoo tjoppies eet (voorsien deur Natasha) onder die sterrelig was onvergeetlik. Ons sal graag weer wil terugkeer.

Unforgettable! Best Karoo lamb chops!

We had the nicest experience of genuine Karoo hospitality at the Osfontein Antique Stone Guesthouse and Boomhuis on Stegman and Natasha's farm. One night was too little. The partitioned barbecue and delicious Karoo chops (provided by Natasha) under the starlight were unforgettable. We would love to return again.

A completely unique and beautiful way to conclude (almost) a long road trip.

An exceptionally special experience in an exquisitely beautiful part of the country. Very little could compare with a meal in the tiny 'lounge dining room' by fire and candlelight. Beautiful creative touches which enhanced this historical lodging. Delightful and interesting hosts. The stars were magnificent!

Comfortable, clean, peaceful on a beautiful Karoo farm.

We loved our stay in the Corbelled huisie. It felt like we were the only people in the world and had gone back in time. It was cosy, comfortable and a special stay. We enjoyed a long walk into the hills on the farm and the scenery was beautiful. The Karoo lamb we enjoyed from the farmer was delicious. I'd highly recommend - something different to experience and enjoy!

A unique place to stay.

We have been intrigued by corbelled houses for some time. This was a marvelous opportunity to make a closer acquaintance with one. Unfortunately, our hosts were unable to be there but they made certain all was perfect for our stay, even asking their neighbours, Arnold and Marietha, to check that all was well. And the two lovely border collies and a beautiful cat kept us company too. We would most certainly go back again. We also had a look at the Kliphuis and the Treehouse, both of which looked equally delightful. We shall have to try them all!

Die Korbeelhuis is 'n absolute juweel. As jy wil wegkom uit die gewoel van die lewe is dit die plek om 'n paar dae te spandeer en jou batterye te herlaai. Weg van elektronika. Die gasvryheid van die plaaseienaars was 1ste klas. Ons sal beslis weer gaan.

The Korbeelhuis is an absolute gem. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of life this is the place to spend a few days and recharge your batteries. Away from electronics. The hospitality of the farm owners was 1st class. We will definitely go again.

Beautiful scenery. Quirky, but comfortable accommodation.

We liked Osfontein Antieke Klip so much that we even stayed at it again on our way home. The scenery is quite staggering. Looking over the Groot Karoo for miles and miles and the stars at night are like glitter across the cosmos! The two lovely cottages had everything we needed and were perfect for our short stay and the swimming pool was great! We highly recommend it.

Lieflike terugvoer na die verlede vir volkome ontspanning.

Vanaf die verwelkoming van Natasha en Stegmann tot die vertrek was dit 'n heerlike ontspanning in 'n huisie met soveel geskiedenis en karakter met 'n groot 'wow'. Die rustige atmosfeer en stilte laat 'n mens behoorlik afsluit en herlaai.

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.

Dit was 'n fantastiese belewenis. Die sterre en skoon lug. Die woonplek was pragtig en skoon.

Osfontein Kliphuis het slaapplek vir 5 mense. Daar is 'n lekker braaiplekkie buite met 'n tafel en stoele waar 'n mens kan sit en kuier. Die huisie binne is pragtig en die beddens is skoon en gemaklik. Indien jy meer as een aand oorbly, pak beslis bykosse in, want skaapvleis is te koop by die eienaars van die plaas (uit die boonste rakke). Carnavon is 'n baie klein dorpie en alles maak vroeg toe. Dankie vir n lekker bly op Osfontein.

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.

Besondere verblyf in die Karoo.

Ons het in die Boomhuis en die Ou Kliphuis gebly. Wonderlik ingerig met interessante oudhede. Pragtige atmosfeer op die plaas. Heerlike swembad met vriendelike skaaphonde. Die Boomhuis is nou een van my groot gunstelingplekke in die Karoo. Die WiFi-sein is net in en om die huis, en dit was lekker om in die tuin te werk! Blykbaar is MTN beskikbaar, maar nie Vodacom nie.

Oornag in die verlede.

Wat 'n unieke oornagervaring! Ons was veral beïndruk met al die opsies om lekker warm te slaap, onder andere vreeslike dik duvets en komberse, plus warmwatersakke. Lieflike binnekaggel en genoeg warm water was ook 'n bonus. Ons Jack Russell was ook welkom. Lekkerste Karoo-tjoppies ooit te koop by die eienaars plus doringhout per sak wat 'n baie lekker vuur maak.

Perfekte wegbreek in rus en vrede.

Ons het hier gekuier vir 3 nagte met ons 5 en 6 jarige. Hulle het 'n fantastiese tyd gehad en heeltyd net rondgeloop, koppies geklim en 'n lekker Karoo-plaaslewe beleef. Ek en my man het ons fietse saamgevat en die beste tyd gehad om die grondpaaie te gaan verken. Kilometers se grondpaaie met net skape en geen mens of kar in sig nie. Wens ek kan dit meer gereeld doen. Julle het 'n besonderse plek, en julle gasvryheid is die beste.

Overnight stay in a corbelled house on a sheep farm.

We had read about Osfontein with it's corbelled house in Getaway Magazine and so had the perfect opportunity to experience a night there on our return from the Kgalagadi. We were not disappointed in any way starting from the hospitality shown by our hosts Natasha and Stegmann. We loved the experience of staying in and the history of the corbelled house. It was very comfortable and there was everything we needed and more. Our hosts gave us a tour of the property and the accommodations they have. All lovely. We also enjoyed the company of the sheep dogs who visited us. We bought lamb chops from Natasha which we braaied that night. Absolutely delicious under a Karoo starry sky. Thanks again for a magnificent stay.

Iets wat ieder en elk moet beleef.

Die gasvryheid was spontaan sonder om aanstootlik te wees. Die Korbelhuisie is fantasties ingerig sonder om van die oorspronklikheid in te boet.

Ontvangs deur Natasha en Stegmann Lubbe is hartlik. 'n Mens voel dadelik tuis. Braaivleis van hoogstaande gehalte te koop. Geriewe verstommend, die ouderdom van die korbeelhuise in ag genome. Leesstof i.v.m. die geskiedenis is beskikbaar.

Wat 'n voorreg om in so 'n netjiese korbeelhuisie in die grote Karoo te kon slaap!

Die beddens met sagte, warm beddegoed, warmwatersakke, kookwaterstort, binnenshuise kaggeltjie, en keuse tussen kerse en elektrisiteit, was 'n fees! Baie dankie Natasha en Stegmann vir jul gasvryheid! Ons waardeer jul aandag aan detail, en dat jul so 'n mooi stukkie geskiedenis help bewaar. Ons hoop om volgende keer langer te bly! Ja, en die skaaptjoppies was heerlik! Dit was nou regtig 'n besondere ervaring om in die korbeelhuisie te kon oornag - en dit in die grootsheid en skoonheid van ons mooie Karoo! Die aandag aan detail binne die huisie word hoog waardeer! Ons het bietjie laat arriveer - na blommekyk in Nieuwoudtville - en sal aanbeveel dat gaste liewer vroegmiddag arriveer om meer van die Karooplaas te kan ervaar. Natasha en Stegmann het egter geduldig op ons gewag - baie dankie! Ons het 'n soortgelyke ervaring van kliphuisies gehad in Provence, net buite Gordes, waar die Bories ook besoek kan word (geen akkommodasie). En toe ons slaapplek by Carnarvon soek, en ons die Osfontein kliphuisies sien, was ons so dankbaar dat daar plek was! Dit was 'n voorreg om deel te kon wees van 'n oeroue leefwyse wat Natasha en Stegmann so mooi in bewaring hou. Baie dankie!

What a privilege to be able to sleep in such a neat corbel house in the great Karoo!

The beds with soft, warm bedding, hot water bags, boiling water shower, indoor fireplace, and choice between candles and electricity, were a feast! Many thanks Natasha and Stegmann for your hospitality! We appreciate your attention to detail, and that you help preserve such a beautiful piece of history. We hope to stay longer next time! 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 is surrounded by pure peace. The corbelled house was comfortable, well equipped and fascinating to stay in. It was wonderful to have a wood fire in the house, which generated remarkable warmth for the whole cottage. We loved the history and beautiful Karoo surroundings.

Gashere was wat ons van die platteland verwag, vriendelik, hulpvaardig en kon ons lekker gesels. Kan dit enige tyd aanbeveel.

Osfontein met sy klipgeboue het my laat dink aan die boek "Oupa Landman se viool" deur G.J. Joubert. Die Karoo, skape, kraal van klip gebou, trek met die skape as gevolg van droogtes. Ek kon myself inleef in die boek deur dit wat ek op Osfontein ervaar het. En dan die Korbeel huis, iets wat Suid-Afrikaners wat lief is vir hierdie land en trots is op die geskiedenis van ons voortrekker ouers moet beleef.

Hosts were what we expect from the countryside, friendly, helpful and we could have a nice chat. Can recommend it anytime.

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.

Koud! Nou ja, mens kan niks aan die weer doen nie. Maar dit was oulik, kompak, gemaklik, uniek.

Ons was 4 persone vir 3 nagte. Daar is een aparte slaapkamer (geen deur) en twee beddens in die ingangsvertrek/kombuis-area. Alles is oopplan behalwe vir die badkamer. Ons het, ten spyte van die bibberende weer, heerlik gebly. Dit was 'n unieke en lekker ervaring. Daar is een elektriese lig in die slaapkamer, verder kerse wat 'n lekker warm atmosfeer gegee het. Die beddens en beddegoed was heerlik warm, asook die stort (ruim badkamer). Mens kan lekker buite braai en dis heel privaat, met lekker staproetes. Die weer het egter ander planne gehad so ons kon nie baie stap of buite braai nie. Daar is wel 'n heerlike binne-kaggel wat heeltyd gebrand het en waar ons ook kon braai. All in all was dit 'n heerlike ervaring. Ek sou wel dink dat die huisie beter geskik is vir 2 mense (as vir 4) sodat daar meer spasie is (veral in die kombuis gedeelte), en omdat daar min privaatheid is. Miskien kan een van daai lang worshond-deurstoppers ook voorsien word om die wind te keer wat onderdeur die deur gewaai het en nogal koud was. Hoogs aanbevole.

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.

Karoo-nagte op sy beste!

Om in 'n korbeelhuisie te slaap, was al lank op ons wenslys en dit word toe bewaarheid einde Maart vanjaar. Al moet ons bykans 40 km afwyk vanaf ons roete, was dit oor en oor die moeite werd! Osfontein se mense, Natasha en Stegmann, ontvang ons ons met warm gasvryheid. Ons huisie, soos ook die twee ander verblyfopsies op hul plaas (Kliphuis en Boomhuis), getuig van fyn beplanning om elkeen 'n unieke karakter te gee. Dis keurig en smaakvol toegerus en kom niks kort nie. Wat 'n ervaring om in absolute stilte op 'n volmaan-verligte aand op Korbeelhuis se stoep te sit, met 'n knetterende vuurtjie se vlamme wat bokspring hemelwaarts. Om aan te sit by die kliptafel en ons te verlustig in die murgsagte lamstjoppies uit die braaipakkie wat ons kon bestel. En dan, wanneer jy later by kerslig in die bed klim en opkyk na die hoë gestapelde klip-koepeldak, is ek onbeskryflik dankbaar dat ons hierdie mag beleef! Ek hoop ek maak baie mense nou lus vir so 'n avontuur.

Karoo nights at their best!

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.

I booked a one night stay at Osfontein's corbelled house. This was for business but I will definitely be returning for leisure very soon! I haven't felt such calm in ages. The sunset, the sunrise, the house and its history and of course Natasha and Stegman's welcoming nature warmed by heart and afforded my soul a much needed vacation. I cannot fault them on anything.

Osfontein is hemels! Van die vriendelike ontvangs (eers van die skaaphonde en dan van Stegmann en Natasha) tot by die sterrehemel en die gemaklikste beddens! Die korbeelhuisie mag dalk oud wees, maar dit het werklik alles wat mens nodig het - en die koel binnekant was 'n welkome verrassing in die Karoo-hitte! Ons het heerlik gestap en lekker sosaties gebraai (ek is spyt ons het nie meer gekoop nie!) op die stoep wat net op die regte tyd koelte kry. Ons seuntjie het die honde wat kom kuier en saam stap het vreeslik geniet. Dit was vir ons net 'n oornagstop, maar ons hoop om volgende keer bietjie langer te kan bly om bietjie te gaan fietsry en die rustigheid te geniet.

Karoo hospitality and peace!

Osfontein is heavenly! From the friendly reception (first from the sheepdogs and then from Stegmann and Natasha) to the starry sky and the most comfortable beds! 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.

'n Stuk geskiedenis vasgevang in die dik klipmure van korbeelhuisie uit die 1830's.

Ons is gasvry ontvang op 'n plaas wat soos 'n oase om ons uitgestrek het. Onder begeleiding van 2 pragtige skaaphonde en met vars skaaptjops, sosaties en hout van die plaas, is ons na die huisie! Wat 'n belewenis. 'n Ou koperbed, heerlike, vars linne en snoesige komberse, lekker kussings! Pragtige badkamer wat perfek aansluit by die bouvorm van die ou huisie. Elektrisiteit, maar subtiel, sodat jy die kerslig ten volle kan geniet! Dit was jare op my wenslysie en dit was oor en oor die moeite werd! 'n Onvergeetlike, stil nag onder die wye, sterbelaaide hemel. Wens ons kon langer kuier.

A piece of history captured in the thick stone walls of a gabled house from the 1830s.

We were hospitably received on a farm that spread out around us like an oasis. Accompanied by 2 beautiful sheepdogs and with fresh lamb chops, roasts and wood from the farm, we went to the cottage! 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. Electricity, but subtle, so you can fully enjoy the candlelight! It was on my wish list for years and it was worth it over and over again! An unforgettable, silent night under the wide, star-studded sky. Wish we could visit longer.

Bucketlist-verblyf

Oornag in 'n korbeelhuise was nog altyd op my bucketlist en Osfontein se korbeelhuisie het nie teleurgestel nie! Die huisie was baie skoon en netjies. Ons het bietjie laat gearriveer, maar Stegman en Natasha het ons vriendelik verwelkom en hout vir binnebraai/kaggel gereed gehad. Ons het heerlik warm geslaap, al was dit 'n koelerige aand en die sterre was ongelooflik. Ons het hout vooraf gereël met hulle en was spyt dat ons nie skaaptjops ook by hulle gekry het nie. Dit was heelwat goedkoper per kg as in die dorp. Wat 'n ongelooflike ervaring! Sien julle binnekort weer!

Bucketlist accommodation

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!

Absolute verrassing in die wye vlaktes van die Karoo.

Luukse boomhuis met alles wat jy wil hê: van die warm stort met 'n uitsig op die dam, tot privaat braaiplek tussen die sterre. Warm en gemaklik - alle toerusting verskaf. Pragtig en kreatief uitgedink. Eienaars verskaf heerlike skaapvleis direk van hul plaas, asook hout vir braai. Trappies na boomhuis gee mooi uitsig - maar dalk nie aan te beveel vir klein kinders (onder 5) en ouer mense nie.

Luxury tree house with everything you want: from the hot shower with a view of the pond, to private barbecue among the stars. Warm and comfortable - all equipment provided. 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.

Ongelooflike ervaring om in korbeelhuisie te kon oornag.

Een minder item op my bucket list.

Ons het in die korbeelhuisie gebly. Ek wou nog altyd in hierdie unieke geboutjie 'n aand spandeer. Dis ongelooflik mooi en die huisie is so mooi onderhou. Wat 'n ervaring! Die huisie is goed toegerus en die beddens baie gemaklik. Dit het onverwags koud geword die aand, maar dit was heerlik warm binne, met die dik mure. Die skaaptjops was heerlik en die sterrehemel ongelooflik mooi. Ek sal graag weer hier wil kom bly vir meer as een aand, en al was die korbeelhuisie wonderlik, sal ek graag die ander huisies ook wil probeer. Baie dankie vir die egte Karoo-gasvryheid. Ons het so tuis gevoel.

We stayed in the corbel cottage. I have always wanted to spend an evening in this unique building. It's incredibly beautiful and the house is so well maintained. What an experience! The cottage is well equipped and the beds very comfortable. It got unexpectedly cold that evening, but it was deliciously warm inside, with the thick walls. The lamb chops were delicious and the starry sky incredibly beautiful. I would love to stay here again for more than one night, and even though the corbel cottage was great, I would love to try the other cottages as well. Thank you very much for the genuine Karoo hospitality. We felt so at home.

Wonderlike ervaring terug in tyd.

Ons is baie goed ontvang, al het ons laterig op gedaag. Die huisie was baie goed ingerig en silwerskoon. Ons het in kerslig vuur gemaak en heerlike tjops gebraai wat die plaas voorsien het. Die skaaphond het ook heel nag buite waggehou. Moes toe maar vir die perd 'n tjoppie gee vir sy moeite. Dis 'n besonderse ervaring in 'n antieke gebou en veral wanneer jy goed ingerig is en in 'n heerlike, skoon en gemaklike bed slaap. Ons sal dit sonder twyfel aanbeveel en ons kom vir seker terug. Baie dankie.

We were very well received, even though we arrived late. The cottage was very well furnished and spotlessly clean. We made a fire in candlelight and grilled delicious chops that the farm provided. The sheepdog also kept watch outside all night. Had to give the horse a tip for his effort. It's a special experience in an ancient building and especially when you are well furnished and sleep in a lovely, clean and comfortable bed. We would definitely recommend it and we will be back for sure. Thank you very much.

Vir seker een van die lekkerste oorslaapverblyf-eenhede wat ons as gesin ooit gebruik het. Dit was voorwaar 'n voorreg om die plaas te kon deel met die vriendelike mense.

Unieke ervaring.

Stegman en Natasha het uit hul pad gegaan om ons welkom te laat voel. Om oor te bly in n huis wat gebou is in die 1800s was vir seker iets wat ons nooit sal vergeet nie. Kersligete en braai onder die Karoo sterreprag. Sal dit vir seker aanbeveel.

Unique experience.

Stegman and Natasha went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Staying in a house that was built in the 1800s was for sure something we will never forget. Christmas light dinner and barbecue under the Karoo stars. Would recommend it for sure.

When everything is right and nothing is out of order or lacking in any way, you are free to enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the Karoo. Four nights left us feeling like we had been on holiday for a fortnight! Thank you, Osfontein.

Very beautiful and well-maintained place.

We loved everything about our stay in the antique klip guesthouse. The beautiful lovely furnished house, the cosy bed with looking out to stars through the big windows (we stayed in the old stone house), the atmosphere, making a fire and braai in the evenings, the silence and the peace. Thanks a lot for this beautiful place!

Die stilte is oorverdowend lekker!

Baie lekker gebly. Goeie diens van gawe en vriendelike mense. Laat mens terugdink toe ons nog met mekaar gesels het rondom kerslig en 'n oop vuur, i.p.v. na 'n skerm sit en staar. Het 2 lammers daar gekoop teen 'n baie redelike prys. Opgesaag, verpak en gevries soos ons versoek het. Heerlikste lam soos net die Karoo kan. Dankie Natasha en Stegmann! Julle mag maar!

Very nice stay. Good service from nice and friendly people. Makes one think back to when we still talked to each other around candlelight and an open fire, instead of sit and stare at a screen. Bought 2 lambs there at a very reasonable price. Sawn, packed and frozen as we requested. Most delicious lamb as only the Karoo can. Thank you Natasha and Stegmann! You may!

Disappointing, although it is a lovely facility.

On arrival, after a very long and dusty drive, no one was there. We managed to contact our host by telephone who informed us that she was in Beaufort West (128 km away) and that our booking had been cancelled. We were directed to one of the other units which was open, where we could sit and wait until the host returned almost 2 hours later. Despite all the very sincere apologies, it's just not an acceptable way to run an accommodation establishment. We were offered some of our money back which we declined since we did eventually stay the night. The treehouse tent is very nice, although a bit noisy when the wind came up in the night, bit that is common for all tents. With better booking management, it could be a very pleasant experience.

Osfontein Antieke Klip Guesthouses and Treehouse 's response

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.

We hope they will visit again in the future.

Friendly Karoo greetings,

Rustige Somerkersfees in die Karoo.

Wat 'n heerlike Kersfees! Ons het elke oomblik van ons 2 nagte daar geniet! Die korbeel-huisie was regtig iets besonders en daar was als wat nodig was vir 'n gerieflike verblyf. Dit was bloedig warm deur die dag, maar heerlik koel in die huisie en die swembad was baie lekker. Ons het skaaptjops by Natasha gekry om te braai en lekker onder die sterre vuur gemaak - ongelooflik baie sterre om te sien. Ook lekker fietsgery. Regtig die moeite werd!

Peaceful Summer Christmas in the Karoo.

What a wonderful Christmas! We enjoyed every moment of our 2 nights there! The gabled house was really something special and there was everything that was needed for a comfortable stay. It was bloody hot during the day, but wonderfully cool in the cottage and the pool was very nice. We got lamb chops from Natasha to grill and made a nice fire under the stars - amazingly many stars to see. Also nice cycling. Really worth it!

Osfontein was recommended by my parents. We decided to spend one night there on our way back home from holiday. Wish we booked for longer. The corbelled house was so unique and beautifully renovated. The warm water bags and wonderful winter bedding were such treats. We also bought chops for our evening braai from Natasha and Stegman - so succulent. They are such lovely hosts. We will most definitely be back. Next time we'll try out the antique stone house. Thank you!

'n Onvergeetlike plek!

Die Corbeelhuis is 'n unieke plek om te bly. Dit voel dadelik bekend, veilig en aangenaam. Die dekor is eenvoudig, maar die bed is goed, die stort is spesiaal en onverwags lekker, en die plek is onskatbaar! Nou 'n goeie skoorsteen in die eetkamer. Moenie die boomhuis vergeet nie, veral in die somer!

Ongelooflike ervaring!

Ons is baie hartlik ontvang - regte Karoo gasvryheid. Die verblyf in die korbeelhuisie was 'n ongelooflike ervaring. Die huisie is so mooi versorg met die historiese element wat behoue bly. Die klipwerk is asemrowend en ons nag by kerslig en vuur was 'n belewenis. Vroeër die middag kon ons lekker gaan stap op die plaas en 'n koppie uitklim om die uitgestrektheid van hierdie pragtige wêreld te bewonder. Ons hoop om spoedig weer terug te keer. Kan hierdie gasteplaas sterk aanbeveel. Baie dankie vir die geleentheid om hier te kon oornag.

Onverbeterlike Karoo-gasvryheid

Die boomhuis was die ideale plek om ons vakansie te begin en net af te saal vir 2 nagte. Die uitsig vanuit die tent/ boomhuis oor die karoovlaktes was kos vir ons siele. Bly 'n aand of 2 langer en verken Loxton. Het daar net so lekker gekuier. Stegmann en Natasha was fantastiese 'landlords' en beveel verblyf in enige van hulle 3 plekkies aan.

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.

Wat 'n ongelooflike ervaring!

Dit was voorwaar 'n ongelooflike ervaring om in die Korbeel huis te bly. Ons was baie vriendelik ontvang en het sommer dadelik tuis gevoel. Alles baie netjies en skoon. Baie spyt dat ons net een nag oorgeslaap het. Ons sal definitief weer gaan maar vir paar dae. Dit is verseker 'n plek waar mens kan afskakel en die rustigheid van die plaas en Karoo kan geniet. Die vleis van die braaipakkies was baie sag en lekker. Ons het ook na die die Kliphuis en Boomhuis gaan kyk, elkeen definitief ook sy eie bekoring.

What an incredible experience!

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.

Ons het ongelukkig net een nag oorgebly en dit was 'n baie spesiale ervaring!

Dit was 'n heerlike ervaring om in die korbeelhuisie te bly, al was dit 'n bietjie beknop vir vier volwassenes. Baie netjiese en skoon beddiegoed en die eenheid het 'n netjiese toilet en badkamer. Ons het heerlik geslaap in die stilte van die Karoo. Die eienaars het daarin geslaag om 'n goeie balans te verkry tussen die historiese en moderne leefwyse. Alhoewel die huisie 'n baie oulike buitebraai-area het, was ons gedwing om van die binnebraai gebruik te maak omdat dit buite winderig en koud was. Ons het die binnebraai baie geniet en heerlik om die vuur gekuier. Ongelukkig trek die skoorsteen nie baie goed nie, met die gevolg dat alles in die huisie na rook geruik het. Dit was nogal erg. Die eienaars behoort daaraan aandag te gee. Net kerslig is beskikbaar wat dit baie romanties maak. Ek hoop nie die eienaars verander dit ooit nie. Ek sal egter aan gaste voorstel om flitse en/of kopliggies saam te neem. Ons het 'n bietjie gesukkel in die kerslig met die kosvoorbereiding en om te lees. Dit was egter groot pret om daar te bly. Ons wil dit weer doen. Dis nie die gewone gastehuis nie. Gaste moet ingestel wees om iets anders en iets baie spesiaals te verwag!

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!

Karoo op sy beste. Ongelooflik.

Dit was voorwaar 'n belewenis om na baie jare weer die Karoo te kon ervaar. Sal beslis weer gaan.

Absoluut uniek!

Ons het die behoud van die karakter van die Korbeelhuis waardeer, met 'n paar luukse geriewe bygevoeg (elektriese lakens, warm stort). Mens kry 'n idee van wat die korbeelhuisbewoners in die ou dae moes ervaar het. Baie dankie!

Absolutely unique!

We appreciated the preservation of the character of the Korbeel House, with some luxury amenities added (electric sheets, hot shower). One gets an idea of what the corbel house dwellers must have experienced in the old days. Thank you very much!

Een vir jou "moet doen"-lysie!

Die korbeelhuisie is een om van jou lys af te merk. Die omgewing is pragtig en die eienaars baie vriendelik. Ons het die oorslaap baie geniet. Baie basies.

Dit het gevoel of ek by die huis is, so lekker. Ontvangs uit die boonste rakke. Heerlik!

Dit was so 'n wonderlike breek. Die stilte is ongelooflik. Die plek is onverbeterlik. Dit is die beste plek vir weer 'n slag met mekaar praat. Ontvangs het ons uit die veld geslaan, ons het gevoel soos familie. Duisend dankies Natasha en Stegmann. Julle is WOW! Die kinders het julle honde (en die skaap) so geniet!

It was such a great break. The silence is incredible. The place is unbeatable. This is the best place to talk to each other again. Reception blew us away, we felt like family. A thousand thanks Natasha and Stegmann. You guys are WOW! The children enjoyed your dogs (and the sheep) so much!
