Baie lekker rustig! Alles daar vir selfsorg!

Sal voorstel dat WiFi-kode in kothuis beskikbaar is. Ons kon nie die WiFi gebruik aangesien ons eers die volgende dag dit ontvang het agv geen sein.

Very nice and quiet! Everything there for self-care!

Would suggest wifi code available in cottage. We could not use the WiFi as we only received it the next day due to no signal.

Om te verhoed dat almal op die plaas die password word gebruik en sein stadig maak vir gaste, word dit en die location al vorige dag met whatsapp gestuur.

Peaceful.

I liked the location, though it was a 15 km gravel road drive from the main road. Some nice flora in the veld.

Family with teenagers

The separate houses worked perfectly because the teenagers could have their own place.

The indoor barbecue was the best!

Sterrehemel.

Sal aanbeveel, pak warm klere, al is dit Desember. Geniet 'n drankie terwyl jy jou verkyk aan die skouspelagtige sterrehemel.

Starry sky.

Would recommend, pack warm clothes, even if it's December. Enjoy a drink while gazing up at the spectacular starry sky.

Fantasties.

Lekker koud, selfs in Desember. Die moeite en afronding in die cottage is van baie waarde.

Overdam is 'n baie aangename blyplek met goeie geriewe en diens. Perfek om stilte en rustigheid te ervaar.

Ons het baie lekker gebly, die huisies is skoon en netjies en baie goed toegerus. Die eienaars is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Wonderlike stilte, rustigheid en gasvryheid.

Die plekkie is basies, maar het alles wat mens nodig het met 'n paar persoonlike bederfies soos 'n bietjie koffie, suiker en selfs melk. Ons waardeer ook die feit dat daar n' waslyn en wasgoed pennetjies is. Die klein goedjies maak 'n verskil. Dit was koud in die eenheid, maar ons het lekker warm en snoesig geslaap. Die bed was baie gemaklik. Die eienaars is baie gaaf en gasvry en het ons laat welkom voel. Dit is lekker stil en rustig. Ons het geen selfoonsein gehad nie (Vodacom), maar met die WiFi kon ons in kontak bly met ons mense. Ons het vooraf geweet van die sowat 15 km grondpad na die plaas, maar die pad was bietjie slegter as wat ons verwag het en het ons minstens 'n half uur geneem om die 15 km te ry. Ons het lekker gebly en kan Overdam aanbeveel.

Wonderful silence, tranquility and hospitality.

The place is basic but has everything one needs with some personal touches like some coffee, sugar and even milk. We also appreciate the fact that there is a washing line and clothes pegs. The little things make a difference. It was cold in the unit, but we slept nice and warm and cozy. The bed was very comfortable. The owners are very nice and hospitable and made us feel welcome. It is nice and quiet. We had no mobile phone signal (Vodacom), but with the WiFi we were able to keep in touch with our people. We knew beforehand about the 15 km dirt road to the farm, but the road was a bit worse than we expected and it took us at least half an hour to drive the 15 km. We had a great stay and can recommend Overdam.

Heerlike Karoo-wegbreek - goed vir mens se siel!

Primitief ingerig, maar dit is steeds baie gesellig met die basiese items wat benodig word alles in plek. Heerlik en gepas by die pragtige Karoo-omgewing. Wonderlike uitsig en die gasheer en -vrou is baie hartlik. Sou wel aanbeveel om in die erge koue tye moontlik 'n verwarmertjie in eenheid te plaas, asook moontlik alternatiewe plan maak indien die water vries/gas nie werk nie wanneer temperature onder vriespunt daal. Vir die res - wonderlike Sutherland-ervaring met pragtige geleentheid om sterre te aanskou.

Delicious Karoo getaway - good for one's soul!

Primitively furnished, but it is still very cozy with the basic items needed all in place. Delicious and appropriate to the beautiful Karoo environment. Wonderful view and the host and wife are very warm. Would recommend possibly putting a heater in the unit in the severe cold times, as well as possibly making an alternative plan if the water freezes/gas doesn't work when temperatures drop below freezing. For the rest - wonderful Sutherland experience with beautiful stargazing opportunity.

Baie dankie vir resensie. Huisie is dubbel geisoleer, sal die moontlikheid van gas heater ondersoek maar ons bly maar skrikkerig aangesien dit n hout eenheid is. Hierdie is die cottages se eerste winter, het alreeds aandag gegee aan die waterpype.

Mense was baie vriendelik, maar die gemaklikheid van die verblyf was nie die geld werd nie.

Ons het goeie diens ontvang, maar die gerief van die verblyf was nie op standaard nie. Southerland is 'n verskriklike koue plek die tyd van die jaar en om met 3 dun kombersies in 'n houthuis te slaap sonder enige vehitting binnekant was nie gerieflik nie. Ons het daar aangekom en vuur aangesteek op die buitebraai. Die gasgeyser het nie gewerk nie, maar die eienaars het dit vlugtig kom uitsorteer. 1 uur die oggend het ek en my 9 jarige seun wakker geword van die verskriklike koue en ons het albei in een enkelbed geklim en die kombers gedeel net om warm genoeg te kry. Die volgende oggend was die waterpype verstop/gevries en die gaskanne wat buite staan ook gevries, so ons kon nie koffie gemaak het of gestort het nie. Ek het wel my eie gaskan en water gehad in my bakkie om bietjie koffie en tee te maak. Ek stel voor dat die eienaars self 'n aand daar spandeer om verbeteringe te kan aan pas. Eerstens 'n heater aan die binnekant en slaapgeriewe wat gepas is vir die koue.

People were very friendly, but the comfort of the accommodation was not worth the money.

We received good service, but the comfort of the accommodation was not up to standard. Southerland is a terribly cold place this time of year and sleeping with 3 thin blankets in a log house without any heating inside was not comfortable. We got there and lit a fire on the outdoor barbecue. The gas geyser didn't work, but the owners quickly came to sort it out. At 1 o'clock in the morning my 9 year old son and I woke up from the terrible cold and we both climbed into one single bed and shared the blanket just to get warm enough. The next morning the water pipes were blocked/frozen and the gas jugs outside were also frozen, so we couldn't make coffee or take a shower. I did have my own gas can and water in my van to make some coffee and tea. I suggest that the owners themselves spend an evening there to be able to adjust improvements. First, a heater on the inside and sleeping facilities that are suitable for the cold.

Baie dankie vir jou resensie. Daar is 4 lekker dik komberse in die huisie asook 2 duvets met winter lankens. Die koue is hierdie jaar ongenaakbaar en dan raak gas waterig. Ons probeer om so spoedig moontlik altyd aandag te gee.

Vir 'n koue wintersaand was die 'n slegte besluit.

30 km buite Sutherland waarvan 15 km slegte grondpad. Twee houtcabins met geen verhitting in die slaapkamer en 'n baie dun duvet. Ons het verkluim. Verder geen handdoeke en 'n baie bot eienaar. Ag nee wat.

For a cold winter's evening, it was a bad decision.

30 km outside Sutherland of which 15 km is bad dirt road. Two log cabins with no heating in the bedroom and a very thin duvet. We got cold. Furthermore, no towels and a very rude owner. Oh no what.
