Ou Werf 's response
Dear Verentia,
Thank you for your feedback. As explained to you, the water is pure fountain water. We experienced high rainfall during that time which gave the water a brown colour. We also went to check the water's temperature the moment it was reported and it was hot. The geysers are all gas driven. But we will keep a close eye on these in future. Kind Regards

Peaceful farm experience with beautiful view.
Quiet farm feeling with cattle and sheep grazing near the cottage. Sometimes even wild goats seen from a distance. The house and especially the bedrooms are rustic, but neat. Flies were quite a problem. We haven't experienced the flies like this before, so I think we just hit it bad this time. Real farm kitchen. Oven and gas hobs work very well, but microwave would be a bonus. We really enjoyed the indoor barbecue.

Good weekend, the house is a little disappointing.
We had a good rest weekend. We especially enjoyed the silence and beautiful surroundings. The cottage was a bit of a disappointment. Some of the furniture is not the same as in the photos and the living room couch that is there now is not very neat or comfortable. The upholstery on the patio furniture is also no longer fresh. The house has cracks and dampness that seeps through. There were also a few cockroaches. The beds sleep well and the showers were good.

Outstanding farm accommodation.
The accommodation was clean and convenient with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The self-check-in and check-out were convenient, the friendly hostess sent through all information as well as the pin with the address ahead of time. The inside braai was nice especially when it got old in the evening and unpleasantly windy. Firewood was provided for inside as well as for the outdoor fire pit, it was convenient that you could park your car in front or next to the house. The horses, cattle, donkey, birds, and beautiful green wheat fields contributed to a lovely and peaceful getaway from the city. There was a wide variety of interesting books to read, as well as a bunch of board games to keep you busy. We had good cell phone reception. Remember your coffee, tea, milk as well as freshwater for drinking, none of this is provided. The accommodation's water is fountain water and is brown in colour, but apparently safe to drink. We can definitely recommend this accommodation and will go there again in the future. The location of the farm is perfect to undertake day trips to Arniston/Waenhuiskrans, Agulhas and Struisbaai.

We had such a nice stay, even an extra day. House was very clean and tidy, we lacked nothing. Our neighbors were 2 horses with 2 foals, what a treat. The dogs made friends with the fillies through the wire. Unbelievable. The dogs really enjoyed the lovely walks without leashes, not to mention the pond. We will definitely go again. The right place if you want to get away from people and noise.

Ou Werf perfectly met all our holiday accommodation needs.
It is conveniently located close to Bredasdorp, as well as many other worthwhile villages in the Overberg. Every day we made a day trip in a different direction. Cycling on the farm roads was wonderful. The unit itself was carefully equipped and there were even binoculars. The indoor fireplace smoked a bit but we soon learned to leave the front door open when in use. Old Yard is good value. Old Werf is excellent.

It really wasn't clean and the showers were gross.
The location was good for a farm weekend away, but directions to the place are unclear. The facilities were dirty - dust and papers under the beds, cobwebs under the bunk beds. There isn't much to do if the weather doesn't cooperate. The showers' water temperature was uncontrollable. Kids ended up "bathing" in our cooler box. The host's WhatsApp correspondence was good and friendly. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place to stay, nor would I return.

What a great experience, only sorry we couldn't stay longer.
The accommodation is extremely comfortable, the view is breathtaking and the silence is infectious. We would easily spend a whole holiday at Ouwerf. The pond with all its life is a great place to cool off, wet a line or relax comfortably. The fact that Ouwerf is about 30 minutes from the nearest beach and very conveniently located for exploring the area makes it the perfect place to relax without being trampled by the holidaymakers. But it's still close enough to the surrounding holiday centers to go to the beach for the day, or even just a quick trip to a restaurant. We will definitely come again if we are in the area. Ouwerf is a real gem.

Positive criticism to make it better for next guests. No one came over during the two days to make sure everything was fine. We wanted help with the wet wood, couldn't light it, which would have made our nice farm stay even nicer in the cold evenings. The rats in the roof also need attention.

From outside the unit doesn't look like much, but inside the rooms are spacious, clean and liveable. It uses solar panels for electricity and warm water. The lack of TV, microwave, etc. contributes to the atmosphere and board games are available for late night family time. The only complaint would be the shower water. There was a blockage and warm water was limited. I suspect it was only a temporary problem, yet it caused some frustration.
