Overberg Gems - The Little Farmhouse

A lovely picturesque farm getaway with all modern conveniences.

In spite of arriving and departing in rain, our 2-day stay at The Little Farmhouse was most delightful. The spacious cottage has been perfectly renovated and is well appointed, with comfortable beds and warm bedding. Our hosts had even provided hot water bottles, and there was a gift of firewood to keep out the winter chill. One thing I missed was a pair of kitchen scissors! Very picturesque woods, a little waterfall, and a stream close by, with cows, sheep, and lambs on the farm track - we would love to return in summer!

Magical.

We stayed at Overberg Gems - The Little Farmhouse for a silent retreat. It was peaceful and beautiful. But we were there for the flooding! Kevin - the farmer couldn't have been kinder - checked in on us to see if we were okay, brought extra wood when the electricity went down, let us stay an extra night for free when we got stuck there due to road closures in the storm. They also gave us a bowl of fresh farm eggs to welcome us. Wonderful people.

A good choice for a summer family getaway.

I think that The Little Farmhouse is suitable for families with children. It is very rustic and laid back with a lovely wooded area in front with an outside hot tub, cold shower and braai area. The weather was very cold when we were there and due to the fact that it is situated amongst many trees, the actual house is freezing. As such, it is much better suited to a summer stay than a winter stay. We didn't make use of the farm itself as we spent time hiking etc off the farm. For us, it was a little too rustic, but I am sure it would suit many people. The showers were lovely and hot, the bed was comfortable. Drinking water was supplied separately.

Loved the cool farmhouse, hot tub, the donkeys, forest setting.

Only irritation were the flies! And a good swimming spot.

Farmhouse getaway A+.

This little gem can really be recommended. No cell phone reception or Wi-Fi, a real getaway. Why is nobody talking about the Lions' roars coming from Panthera Africa about 3.5 km away? A real treat. Neat, clean, comfortable stay. The hot tub works well, just follow the instructions to the T. Donkey-greetings in the mornings made for more excitement. The birdlife is amazing. Thank you for a beautiful 4 days. We will be back.

Best family weekend away!

Wow! This place took my breath away! The house is old and full of antiques yet has everything you need. A massive porch overlooks the donkeys grazing on your lawn while steam rises from the wood-fired hot tub, the kids are running off into the forest to catch frogs or feed the Alpacas. Loadshedding hit one night while we were in the hot tub, but the air was clear so we stayed inside the warm water even longer while watching the starry night sky. There's no signal so the days are long and slow, perfect for a mental reset. But the ability to wonder off and explore the farm was my ultimate favourite! We're definitely coming back. Hands down best winter family holiday we've had in years! Warning: The owner refused to tell me, but there is a chemical in the hot tub water that puts you to sleep as soon as you get out of it! Haha!

A fantastic family extended weekend.

We spent 4 days at the Little Farmhouse. A well appointed cottage that housed 5 of us comfortably. The hot tub was a welcome addition in the cold weather. The hot water bottles on the beds were a nice touch and were really needed.

Wonderful, fun, relaxing, home away from home, great experience overal.

Beautiful setting, lovely and rustic farm house accommodation with everything you need. Nice and clean and neat. The hot tub is amazing and a really fun experience. The donkeys came to visit which was great, lots of space to explore, great hosts and just an all round great stay. Would highly recommend and will definitely go back!

Iets anders.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier en kaartgespeel om die tafel op die stoep. Die klein, verhitte swembad was heerlik om in te ontspan. Braai was ook treffer met feetjieligte. Toekomstige besoekers moet net ingelig word dat daar geen WiFi of selfoonopvangs is nie. Die boonste slaapkamer op met trappe het geen deur. Persone wat in boonste kamer slaap moet deur ander kamers gaan om by badkamer uit te kom. Ander 2 kamers het en suite-badkamers. Mense net kennis neem daarvan.

'n Lieflike wegkruiphuis met 'n wye kuierstoep.

'n Lieflike huis met 'n wye kuierstoep staan tussen hoë bome en kyk uit op 'n kuierarea (grasperk, 'hot tub' en braaiplek ). Ideaal vir uitrus, vir lees, vir saamkuier.

Goud is gevind in Stanford.

Stukkie goud het ons gevind in Stanford. Perfek geleë, netjies, rustig, waarde vir geld, vriendelike ontvangs, vriendelike donkies. Was vir seker elke sent werd.

Ons het 'n sprokiesagtige naweek gehad.

Die liggies in die bome en die nuwe "hot tub" het bygedra tot die atmosfeer. Die plaasdiere wat kom groet het in die oggende was 'n vriendelike verwelkoming. Ek sal definitief hierdie plek aanbeveel vir gesinne.

As jy van die plaas en rustigheid hou is hierdie ’n moet.

Definitief die moeite werd ons gaan weer kom!

Very comfy little house, but see comments below.

Outside bathtub took stacks of wood to heat up and water was still lukewarm. Could do with a sharp knife and larger frying pan. One frying pan needed replacing. Seats in 2 chairs in lounge worn out and lumpy. Single bed mattresses like a hammock, need replacing. However, loved the old-world style.

Dit was 'n lekker rustige tydjie weg. Baie veilig en gemaklik.

Ons het 'n baie lekker tydjie weg gehad saam met vriende. Dit is rustig, eenkant en die gebrek aan internet en selfoonsein is eintlik 'n goeie breuk van elke dag se gejaag. Die huisie is fantasties, alles wat mens nodig het. Die ligging is ook baie mooi en die plaasdiere wat buite rondloop is 'n lekker verrassing.

Alles was goed en heerlik, die solderkamer se trappe is gevaarlik vir oud en jonk.

Heerlike plaasatmosfeer.

Baie gemaklik met alles wat ons nodig gehad het.

The cottage was well organised and beautifully situated. We could have stayed longer.

Lekker wegbreek.

Ons het baie lekker hier gekuier- die donkies en skape gee vir mens die regte plaas gevoel!

Stunning dit was 'n fantastiese plek en ons gaan definitief weer daar bly.

Die touch met die varkore, ons was baie impressed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, Natalie is a fabulous host and made us feel very welcome.

Beautiful surroundings, very comfortable cottage and awesome hosts.

'n Onvergeetlike plaas-sprokie.

The Little Farmhouse is alles wat dit beloof om te wees en soveel meer! Ons was aangenaam verras met elke element van ons verblyf in hierdie hartlike en bekoorlike juweel van die Overberg. Ek beveel dit met graagte aan - gaan kyk gerus self!

Ons sal terug wees!

Die absolute natuurskoon, en gevoel van vrede, waarin verblyf gelee is, sal moeilik geklop word. Hulle sê "to find yourself, you have to loose yourself" - dit is waarheen jy sal kom om dit te doen!

Rustig.

Daar was bietjie baie vlieë, maar dis seker omdat dit op 'n plaas is.

Pragtig omgewing en verblyf. Eienaars was vriendelik en hulpvaardig.

Pragtige huisie wat met smaak toegerus en verfraai is. Die Dover-stoof en kaggel was heerlik tydens die winterkoue. Die eerste aand het ons vanaf 22:00 nie elektrisiteit gehad nie, maar die eienaar was heeltyd beskikbaar, het die volgende oggend kom inspeksie doen en ook heeltyd plegtig om verskoning gevra. Die volgende oggend het hy kom hoor of alles wel is en vir ons van ons geld teruggegee vir die ongerief. Ten spyte van bogenoemde sal ek dit vir almal aanbeveel wat Stanford se prag en die rustigheid van die plaas wil ervaar. Sowaar heerlik en die mandjie gepak met lemoene, olywe en wyn toe ons gearriveer het was 'n vriendelike gebaar. Al negatiewe punt is dat daar nie 'n mikrogolfoond is nie, dus het dit maar gesukkel met my tweejarige se bottels.
