Heerlike plaasverblyf in 'n prentjiemooi omgewing.

Ons het net een nag oorgebly op pad Noorde toe, maar sal graag weer wil gaan en miskien 'n dag of twee vertoef om die omgewing te geniet. In snerpende koue aangekom, maar die verwarmers in die eenheid was reeds aan om ons te verwelkom . Die WiFi was effens onbestendig in ons eenheid, maar verder was alles perfek.

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.

Lovely place.

Lovely and charming place and pet friendly, with a beautiful walk available on the farm. We enjoyed our stay very much. The host was very friendly and hands-on and helpful. There is a fenced-in garden for the dogs, but one does need to take them a very short distance out on a leash to get to that garden, as the door of the cottage does not open onto the garden. There are at times other dogs in that space, so it might need to be navigated carefully if you have a reactive pup.

Pragtige ligging en goed toegerus.

Pienaarsbaken bly 'n wonderlike plek - 'n oase op die langpad. Dit was ons eerste keer in Pienaarsbaken Farm Cottages, en dit was wonderlik om die uitsig te hê en die natuurlewe te ervaar. Die eenheid was silwerskoon en baie knap uitgelê en toegerus.

Ek kan Pienaarsbaken met vrymoedigheid vir enige iemand aanbeveel. Jaco, die eienaar, was baie vriendelik en het ons baie tuis laat voel. Die eenheid was lieflik skoon en vars melk en koffie is voorsien. Die kombuis is volledig toegerus om self kos te kan maak en in die badkamer was beide 'n bad en swemhanddoeke voorsien. Die vertrekke is baie ruim en gemaklik.

Tipiese Karoo rus en vrede en plaas ervaring.

Ons het net vir 1 nag oorgeslaap en dus nie tyd gehad om die plaas behoorlik te verken nie. Die verblyf was ruim en gerieflik en die oopplan kombuis en leefarea werk lekker vir kuier. Die vuurherd maak die plek gesellig en die kombuis het voldoende tafelruimte en werkoppervlakte sou 'n mens wou kosmaak. Parkering is gerieflik naby die eenheid onder koeltebome en daar is toegang tot die eienaar se swembad om af te koel. Die grondpad na die opstal is in 'n goeie toestand en geskik vir 'n normale sedan voertuig. Jaco het ons vriendelik verwelkom en seker gemaak alles is in orde met ons aankoms en vertrek.

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.

Beautiful area and quality accommodation in a quaint farm cottage.

Owner greeted us personally and made sure we were aware of the facilities. . Kitchen slightly cramped but adequately equipped for what we needed. WiFi is available, but the signal is not strong. The linen was of a very high quality and there were enough heaters and electric blankets to keep us warm during the cold autumn night. Bath and shower facilities were good with enough hot water for three people. The dirt road is passable by sedan, but I would not recommend it for anyone towing a caravan.

Rus en vrede op 'n pragitge plaas - daar kan 'n mens ontspan en afskakel en net rus.

Dit is 'n pragtige plaas, net 'n kort afstand vanaf die hoofpad. Beslis die moeite werd om daar te gaan oornag. Die Cottage is so mooi ingerig en 'n mens voel dadelik tuis. Die natuur uitsigte is asemrowend. Wat ook lekker was, was al die plaasgeluide. Die stilte en rustigheid is presies wat 'n mens nodig het om af te skakel. Dit is 'n plek wat ek beslis weer sal besoek en ook sal aan te beveel.

This is a beautiful farm, just a short distance from the main road. Definitely worth spending the night there. The Cottage is so beautifully furnished and one feels immediately at home. The nature views are breathtaking. What was also nice were all the farm sounds. The silence and tranquility is exactly what one needs to switch off. This is a place I will definitely visit again and also recommend.

Vinnige oornag halfpad tussen Graaff-Reinet en Middelburg.

Lekker gebly. Baie gereën. Pad was bietjie nat/glad maar nie sleg na die baie reën nie. Jaco was vriendelik en het lekker gesels. Daar was beurtkrag, maar nie 'n kragopwekker nie. So geen geraas nie. Kerse en herlaaibare liggies moes die ding doen. Herlaaibare gloeilampe in die bestaande ligte, sou 'n groot verskil gemaak het, maar ons het reggekom met die kerse en die kaggelvuur.

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.

Ongelooflike lekker oorslaap.

Ons is vriendelik ontvang deur Jaco. Het gaan stap en die rustigheid waardeer na besige pad. So naby gevoel aan die sterre, asof jy dit kon pluk. Die 3 perde het ons ook welkom geheet wat spesiaal was!

Wonderlike uitsig en natuurskoon wat die spanning van die lang rit verlig.

Hier kan jy asem skep en ontspan. Die binnebraai is 'n wenner en die nagrus was voorwaar rus. Ons kon skoene uitskop na 'n lang rit en heerlik ontspan onder die bome met 'n koeldranke in die hand. Die ontvangs was gul en vriendelike. Alles was perfek en presies wat nodig was. Die beddens is van hoogstaande gehalte om 'n goeie nagrus te verseker. Een nag was te min, as jy kan, rek die oorbly bietjie uit.

Wonderful view and scenery that eases the tension of the long drive.

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.

'n Besonderse ou plaashuis met plattelandse gasvryheid.

Met die intrapslag groet 'n pragtige, ou plaasopstal mens. Jaco volg vinnig om jou te verwelkom op sy plaas. Die skapies wei sommer hier naby die werf en 'n entjie verder is springbokke teen die berghange. Die huis is ruim en goed toegerus. Daar is ekstra moeite gedoen om seker te maak ons is warm en snoesig vir die nag. Topklas-verblyf vir enige geleentheid.

A special old farmhouse with country hospitality.

Upon entering, a beautiful, old farmstead greets you. Jaco quickly follows to welcome you to his farm. The goats graze right here near the site and a little further there are springboks on the mountain slopes. The house is spacious and well equipped. Extra effort was made to make sure we were warm and cozy for the night. Top class accommodation for any occasion.

Ons kom weer!

Akkommodasie kry altyd sy eerste regmerkie (soms sommer 2!) by my wanneer dit presies lyk soos ek dit op webtuiste gesien het. So was dit met Pienaarsbaken. Pure plaaspad soos jy van grootpad afdraai en met die aankoms wonder ek aanvanklik of ek reg besluit het. Maar Nicolene ontvang ons hartlik en heel professioneel in die afwesigheid van Jaco, die eienaar - wat om verstaanbare redes nie daar kon wees nie. Jammer, dis altyd lekker om die plaas-se-baas te ontmoet. Ons eenheid is keurig en ruim en meer as wat ons nodig het en ons geniet 'n heerlike nagslaap in die ongelooflike stilte. Hoe gelukkig kan mens wees om in hierdie pragtige Lootsbergpas te kan woon!

We come again!

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!

Rus en vrede vir die siel.

Ons het in die Mountain View eenheid gebly, en behalwe dat dit nuut gebou was, was dit smaaklik gemeubileer, met alles wat jy nodig het, insluitende WiFi, maar geen TV wat ons nie gemis het nie. Lieflike klipkaggel/binnebraai met 'n stoep waar jy kan oud raak. Veilig toegekamp, vir ons honde. Jaco (Lootsberg pas is na hulle familie vernoem, omdat die transportryers daar oorgebly het voor hulle die berg aan gevat het) is 'n baie goeie gasheer wat jou eg welkom laat voel.

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.

Ons kon goed rus na ons daaglikse reis en het die stilte en werkende plaas geniet.

Die ligging van die plaas is perfek vir mense wat reis na die Oos- en Wes-Kaap met die N9. Verblyf is skoon en het alles wat mense nodig het om te rus met braaigeriewe, benodighede in die kombuisies en kamers waar mens goed rus. Daar is boerbokke en skape naby die slaapeenhede en kinders geniet dit om saam met hulle te loop en "kuier". Die eienaar het ons hartelik ontvang, ons deur die eenhede geneem en is baie vrienelik. Dankie Jaco vir die kuier op jou plaas.

There are Boer goats and sheep near the sleeping units and children enjoy walking and "visiting" them. The owner received us warmly, took us through the units and is very friendly.

Interessant.

Dis 'n fantastiese ou plaas wat vir jare in die Loots-familie se besit is. Die Lootsbergpas, wat baie mooi is, is daar naby. Daar kan jy ook sterre kyk en dit is ook doodstil in die aand om lekker te ontspan. Jaco Loots, die eienaar, was baie vriendelik en het jou gou-gou laat tuis voel.

Interesting.

It's a fantastic old farm that has been in the Loots family's possession for years. The Lootsberg Pass, which is very beautiful, is nearby. There you can also look at the stars and it is also dead quiet in the evening to relax. Jaco Loots, the owner, was very friendly and quickly made you feel at home.

Ons het van Pienaarsbaken as oornagakkomodasie gebruik gemaak.

Eenheid was goed toegerus en baie netjies. Verwarmer en elektriese kombers was 'n groot bonus. Sal definitief weer kom en dalk 'n paar dae langer bly. Ons het die mooiste sterre gesien, dit was definitief 'n groot hoogtepunt. Eienaar was baie vriendelik en het ons baie welkom laat voel.

Wonderlike verbly op 'n karooplaas!

Die aangename ervaring begin vanaf die afdraai van die teerpad wat 'n hoogtepunt bereik met die puik toegeruste eenheid en binnebraai. Ten spyte van sterk wind en koue was ons heerlik warm en ons verblyf 'n hoogtepunt van die vakansie.

Na waar daar rus en vrede is.

Ons het eerste aand laat en moeg aan gekom en is baie vriendelik verwelkom, tweede oggend het ons teensinnig maar verfrissend vertrek. Die kothuis is in uitmuntende toestand, goeie kwaliteit en alles wat nodig is. Die sterrehemel was net so bo ons koppe en die volgende oggend kon ons die Karoo-stilte geniet terwyl die bokke, skape en perde voor ons wei met die mooiste berg uitsig in die agtergrond. Heerlik met Jaco gekuier en later met ons erg opgewonde honde op die plaas gaan stap.

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.

The cottage was so charming!

The cottage is beautifully furnished and spacious for our family of 4! It was a very cold night but we had everything we needed to be cosy! We had such a wonderful, comfortable night's sleep. The children loved the trampoline and sitting outside under the starry night (no TV which was great)! This will definitely be one of our preferred stop over spots.

'n Plaas met karakter en pragtige herrineringe uit vervloë dae.

Woonstel puik toegerus met alles wat jy nodig het. 'n Heerlike nagrus gehad. Huirdie plaashuis uit vervloë dae met 'n unieke karakter hoe ons voorouers geleef het en hierdie land opgebou het maak hierdie oornag fasiliteit 'n moet. Eienaar baie gasvry en laat jou dadelik tuis voel. Alles wat jy nodig het om vir jouself te sorg is daar met spesifiek die heerlike braaiarea. Die stilte, heerlike vars berglug en oop hemelruimte laat jou onmiddellik besef waarvoor ons eintlik op hierdie aarde geplaas is naamlik om ons erfenis vir ons kinders te bewaar. Ek beveel hierdie plek ten sterkste aan en sal weer daar gaan kuier.

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.

A very nice experience which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.

This was a classic example of not judging a book by its cover. On a arrival we were a bit sceptical, but once we found out the history of the cottage (over 200 years old) the accommodation really grew on us and we had a very fun evening with the internal braai. The two kids actually said that the beds were the most comfortable they had ever slept on. I would definitely stay there again if passing through. Very friendly and helpful host.

Very neat, rustic farmhouse set deep in the valley outside of town far from the noise of the city. Pool facility for kids, very comfortable beds and attention to detail (homemade risks, lavender creams etc). 6 km of dirt road from highway to the house was a bit rough.

Fantastiese verblyf in ou plaasopstal met 'n warm hart wat spruit uit omgee van Jaco - voorwaar 'n lafenis vir 'n moeë reisigerslyf.

Heerlike naweekverblyf.

Ons was 2 gesinne wat 'n naweek hier spandeer het. Dit was ysigkoud en ons kon bietjie sneeu beleef. Die huise is beide goed toegerus om die koue te trotseer, ons het heerlik vuurgemaak en om die groot tafel gekuier. Beide Jaco en sy vrou het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons spesiale versoeke te akkommodeer. Ons sal beslis weer 'n naweek hier spandeer.

Great weekend stay.

We were 2 families who spent a weekend here. It was freezing cold and we could experience some snow. The houses are both well equipped to brave the cold, we made a lovely fire and hung out around the big table. Both Jaco and his wife went out of their way to accommodate our special requests. We will definitely spend a weekend here again.

Dit was die perfekte begin vir ons vakansie. So rustig dat mens nie anders kan as om te begin ontspan nie. Baie netjies, vol karakter, alles wat nodig was om 'n heerlike aandete te kook. Pragtige uitsig.

Rustig en stil, mooi uitsigte.

Dit was 'n baie goeie opsie vir oorslaap op die pad terug van Wes-Kaap na Noordwes. Netjiese huisie, rustige plaas, mooi genoeg uitsig om net te sit en kyk saam met 'n drankie. Interessante dekor, goeie fasiliteite en goeie diens. Ek beveel dit aan.

Wat 'n lekker plek om die vakansie te begin, Dit maak die langpad sommer korter.

Dankie, Jaco vir die lekker verwelkoming en gasvryheid. Die beurtkrag het dit nog lekkerder gemaak. Lekker gaan fietsry, binne gebraai en kaart gespeel, Later bietjie sterre in die Karoo gaan kyk. Wat 'n lekker aand en die ideale manier om die vakansie te begin.

Thank you, Jaco, for the nice welcome and hospitality. The load shedding made it even more fun. Have fun going for a bike ride, barbecued and played cards, later go stargazing in the Karoo. What a fun evening and the ideal way to start the holiday.

Baie rustige aand om 'n lekker houtvuur, met skapies in die agtergrond en pragtige vlaktes. Was veral 'n welkome gevoel dat ons hondjies saam met ons daar kon bly.

Was baie rustig. Het baie welkom gevoel. Die sak hout wat ons ingewag het was fantasties en die melk in die yskas het gesorg vir 'n heerlike koppie koffie. Was dankbaar ons hondjies kon saam met ons wees.

Absoluut uitstekend.

Ons reis vir vir die meeste deel van die jaar - vir werk meestal, maar as daar 'n kansie vir 'n wegbreek is doen ons dit graag. Die ontvangs, ongelooflike vriendelike diens deur Jaco het alle verwagtinge oortref. Hy het ons na 'n eenheid geskuif met 'n heerlike binnebraai. Die huis is uitstekend toegerus. Elektriese komberse, oorgenoeg vuurhout en verwarmers het 'n warm en gesellige atmosfeer geskep vir die yskoue Karoonag. Die lekkerste beskuit ooit vir ons vroeg oggend koffie! Ons beveel Pienaarsbaken baie sterk aan. Goeie ligging tussen Middelburg en Graaff-Reinet vir reisigers van die noorde - ons was op pad van Stellenbosch na Mdumbi in Transkei en dit was 'n lekker middelpunt-oase. Karoo-gasvryheid par excellence.

Absolutely excellent.

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.

Peace and tranquility after a long day's travel.

We stopped over at Pienaarsbaken Farm Cottages on the way down to Sedgefield. We are a family of 4 with a 4 and 6 week old baby. Facilities were great, owners very welcoming and friendly, great way to wind drown after a long day's traveling. Would have loved to spend extra day or so, maybe next time.
