Heerlike verblyf met gasvrye eienaars.

Heerlike verblyf. Netjies en gerieflik. Lizelle en Dawie het ons dadelik laat tuis voel. Sal volgende keer net langer wil bly as ek weer die geleentheid kry.

Lovely stay with hospitable owners.

Great stay. Neat and comfortable. Lizelle and Dawie immediately made us feel at home. Will only want to stay longer next time if I have the opportunity again.

Heerlike kuier in die natuur.

Namakwaland vriendelikheid wat nie geëwenaar kan word nie. Heerlike bord kos na lang dag op die pad. Die plaashuis is gesellig en ons sal weer teruggaan om die omgewing weer te verken. Dankie Lizelle vir al die aanbevelings en heerlike kuier.

A wonderful visit in nature.

Namaqualand friendliness that cannot be matched. Delicious plate of food after a long day on the road. The farmhouse is cozy and we will go back again to explore the area again. Thank you Lizelle for all the recommendations and a lovely visit.

Wat 'n lieflike plek.

Ons het lekker gekuier en sal beslis weer gaan kuier en langer bly. Lizelle het ons baie vriendelik ontvang en hulle braaipakke is heerlik. Ons sal hulle beslis aanbeveel.

Wonderlike Karoo-landskap met ongelooflike skoon en netjiese fasiliteite - wat 'n voorreg om daarin te kon deel!

Baie goed toegeruste blyplek, silwerskoon en netjies met fyn hand van afronding oral sigbaar. Produkte wat beskikbaar is om te koop het dit ekstra spesiaal gemaak en die Karoo-gasvryheid sal ons vir seker weer laat teruggaan!

Wonderful Karoo landscape with incredibly clean and tidy facilities - what a privilege to be able to share in it!

Very well equipped place to stay, spotless and tidy with a fine hand of finishing visible everywhere. Products available to buy made it extra special and the Karoo hospitality will surely make us go back again!

Die eienaars het ons vriendelik ontvang en tuis laat voel. Die kampeerplek en die geriewe was baie netjies.

Ons het oorgeslaap vir net een nag, sou graag langer wou bly om meer van die plaas te sien.

We stayed for just one night, would have liked to stay longer to see more of the farm.

Dit was 'n rustige naweek weg.

Platbakkies is net reg geleë om weg te kom van die stad se "besigheid". Ons gasvrou, Lizelle, het seker gemaak ons het alles wat ons nodig het. Die fasiliteit was skoon en netjies en die geriewe perfek. O, en Lizelle maak 'n heerlike ontbyt. Sy maak 'n bobaas paptert.

It was a quiet weekend away.

Flatbacks are just right to get away from the city's "business". Our hostess, Lizelle, made sure we had everything we needed. The facility was clean and tidy and the amenities perfect. Oh, and Lizelle makes a delicious breakfast. She makes a boss pie.

Clean, charming and relaxing.

Dawie and Lizelle are excellent hosts. The entire house is lovely decorated. The kitchen and all rooms are clean. It's a perfect place to relax and also for an overnight stay between Stringbok and Loeriesfontein on the R355.

Kommervry.

Dit is 'n lekker plaasatmosfeer en die stilte raas glad. Die sterreprag is fantasties in die aand as die hemel wolkloos is en die uisig vanaf die kombuis is ook mooi om die sonsopkoms te wardeer. Het heerlik gebraai en die die feit dat daar redelik produkte (vleis, konfyt, eerlikheidskroeg, serpe ens. ens.) is maak dit maklik vir die ou wat iets vergeet het. Hartsmense wat die plek besit.

Worry free.

It's a nice farm atmosphere and the silence is smooth. The starry splendor is fantastic in the evening when the sky is cloudless and the view from the kitchen is also beautiful to appreciate the sunrise. Had a great barbecue and the fact that there are quite a few products (meat, jam, honesty bar, scarves etc. etc.) makes it easy for the guy who forgot something. Heart people who own the place.

Blommekyk

Hartlike ontvangs deur behulpsame gasheer en gasvrou. Stylvol, skoon, gerieflik, huislik, ruim. Goeie gehalte beddegoed en handdoeke. Loutere plesier om daar te bly, ek sou 10 sterre gee as ek kon!

Die verblyf op Platbakkies was die hoogtepunt van ons vakansie en blommetoer!

Ons was uiters vriendelik ontvang en die eienaars het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons verblyf interessant en aangenaam te maak. Kan Platbakkies by enigiemand aanbeveel.

Wonderful hospitality in the middle of nowhere.

Just one of the nicest overnight stays we have had. A working Namaqualand/Karoo farm that is clearly tended to very well. The guest house is spacious and clean and the lamb supplied on request was fantastic. Hospitality is second to none.

'n Plek wat aan ons almal se hartsnare geraak het.

Platbakkies is ideaal geleë vir enige iemand wat Namakwaland beter wil leer ken, ongeag of dit vir blomme, voëls, veld, seisoen-uiterstes of die hemelruim is. Die gasvrou en gasheer is uiters vriendelik en behulpsaam met 'n stille waardigheid wat pas by die omgewing se mense.

A place that touched the heartstrings of all of us.

Platbakkies is ideally located for anyone who wants to get to know Namaqualand better, regardless of whether it is for flowers, birds, field, seasonal extremes or the sky. The hostess and host are extremely friendly and helpful with a quiet dignity that suits the people of the area.

Lekker huislik, baie netjies, skoon plaasoord met vriendelike en gasvrye mense waar mens rus en vrede vir jou siel kan vind.

Platbakkies Farm Retreat is tussen die Boesmanland en Namakwaland geleë, so 112 km buite Springbok. Pragtige berge waar mens vroegoggend kan stap en vars en skoon suurstof op die brein kan kry. Die akkommodasie is puik, want dis 'n lekker ou plaashuis wat baie netjies gerestoureer is en mens voel sommer jy kom tuis. Daar is so 'n wye verskeidenheid plante en blomme wat hierdie wêreld mens bied as jy eers bietjies nader begin kyk en die honderde kleiner plantjies begin ontdek. Mooi en interessante voëllewe. Mens het jou eie plaashuis en stoepie met braaiplekkie. Mens voel jy is tuis en die slaapplek is regtig netjies, skoon en warm. Die plaasdiere en paar perde maak dat mens nog meer vry voel. Sonsopkoms en sonsondergange is seker van die mooiste gesigte wat die Hemelse Vader skilder. Die mense se vriendelikheid, gasvryheid en warmte laat jou welkom voel en mens kan regtig ontspan, ontlaai en net wees hier. Ek beveel Platbakkies Farm Retreat aan vir enige iemand, jonk en oud, indien jy die stilte begeer en jouself weer bietjie wil vind.

Nice homely, very neat, clean farm resort with friendly and hospitable people where you can find rest and peace for your soul.

Platbakkies Farm Retreat is located between the Bushmanland and Namaqualand, about 112 km outside Springbok. Beautiful mountains where one can walk early in the morning and get fresh and clean oxygen on the brain. The accommodation is great, because it's a nice old farmhouse that has been very neatly restored and you just feel like you're coming home. There is such a wide variety of plants and flowers that this world has to offer if you start to look a little closer and discover the hundreds of smaller plants. Beautiful and interesting bird life. You have your own farmhouse and stoepie with braai place. You feel like you are at home and the place to sleep is really neat, clean and warm. The farm animals and a few horses make you feel even more free. Sunrises and sunsets are probably some of the most beautiful faces that the Heavenly Father paints. The people's kindness, hospitality and warmth make you feel welcome and you can really relax, unwind and just be here. I recommend Platbakkies Farm Retreat to anyone, young or old, if you want the quiet and find yourself again.
