Lovely farm stay in a picturesque setting.
We only stayed one night on our way to the North, but would love to go again and maybe stay a day or two to enjoy the surroundings. Arrived in bitter cold, but the heaters in the unit were already on to welcome us. The WiFi was a little spotty in our unit, but otherwise everything was perfect.

Typical Karoo peace and quiet and farm experience.
We only stayed over for 1 night and therefore did not have time to explore the farm properly. The accommodation was spacious and comfortable and the open plan kitchen and living area work well for visiting. The hearth makes the place cozy and the kitchen has sufficient table space and work surface should one want to cook. Parking is conveniently close to the unit under shade trees and there is access to the owner's pool to cool off. The dirt road to the homestead is in good condition and suitable for a normal sedan vehicle. Jaco welcomed us kindly and made sure everything was in order upon our arrival and departure.

Quick overnight stay halfway between Graaff-Reinet and Middelburg.
Nice stay. Rained a lot. Road was a bit wet/slippery but not bad after the lot of rain. Jaco was friendly and had a nice chat. There was load shedding, but not a generator. So no noise. Candles and rechargeable lights had to do the trick. Rechargeable bulbs in the existing lights would have made a big difference, but we got by with the candles and the log fire.

Here you can catch your breath and relax. The indoor barbecue is a winner and the night's rest was truly restful. We could kick off our shoes after a long drive and relax wonderfully under the trees with a cold drink in hand. The reception was generous and friendly. Everything was perfect and exactly what was needed. The beds are of high quality to ensure a good night's rest. One night was too little, if you can, stretch out the rest a bit.

Accommodation always gets its first tick (sometimes just 2!) from me when it looks exactly as I saw it on the website. So it was with Pienaarsbaken. Pure farm road as you turn off the main road and upon arrival I initially wonder if I made the right decision. But Nicolene welcomes us warmly and very professionally in the absence of Jaco, the owner - who for understandable reasons could not be there. Sorry, it's always nice to meet the farm boss. Our unit is neat and spacious and more than we need and we enjoy a great night's sleep in the incredible silence. How lucky can one be to be able to live in this beautiful Lootsberg Pass!

We stayed in the Mountain View unit, and besides being newly built, it was tastefully furnished, with everything you need, including WiFi, but no TV, which we didn't miss. Lovely stone fireplace/indoor braai with a porch where you can grow old. Safely encamped, for our dogs. Jaco (Lootsberg pass was named after their family, because the transport riders stayed there before they took on the mountain) is a very good host who makes you feel really welcome.

To where there is peace and quiet.
We arrived late and tired on the first night and were welcomed very kindly, on the second morning we left reluctantly but refreshed. The cottage is in excellent condition, good quality and everything needed. The starry sky was just above our heads and the next morning we could enjoy the Karoo silence while the goats, sheep and horses graze in front of us with the most beautiful mountain view in the background. Had a great time with Jaco and later went for a walk on the farm with our very excited dogs.

A farm with character and beautiful memories from days gone by.
Apartment well equipped with everything you need. Had a great night's rest. This farmhouse rental from days gone by with a unique character how our ancestors lived and built this country makes this overnight facility a must. Owner very hospitable and makes you feel at home immediately. Everything you need to take care of yourself is there, specifically the delicious barbecue area. The silence, delicious fresh mountain air and open sky make you immediately realize what we were actually put on this earth for, namely to preserve our heritage for our children. I highly recommend this place and will visit again.

We travel for most of the year - for work mostly, but if there is a chance for a breakaway we would like to do so. The reception, incredible friendly service by Jaco exceeded all expectations. He moved us to a unit with a lovely inside braai. The house is superbly equipped. Electric blankets, plenty of firewood and heaters have created a warm and cosy atmosphere for the cool Karoo night. The most delicious rusks ever for our early morning coffee! We recommend Pienaarsbaken strongly. Good location between Middelburg and Graaff-Reinet for travellers from the north - We were heading from Stellenbosch to Mdumbi in Transkei and it was a nice midway oasis. Karoo hospitality par excellence.
