Very nice. Better than in the photos. The food is amazing and the people very friendly. We found and played the most fun games there. Time flew. Take cheese and buy the farm bread.

Especially neat with freshly baked farm bread.
Lovely place to stay the night. Hospitality radiates in the neat accommodation. The exceptional natural beauty is something from the top shelf. Children enjoyed feeding the animals and playing around. The stars are like a blanket over you at night. The freshly baked farm bread was a real treat. I would recommend for sure. It offers a little something different and completely affordable.

Restful.
Was a very nice stop for us. Everything was in place and it was something new for the children. Linmarie was very helpful and even arranged meat and wood for us for a nice barbecue. Linmarie invited the children to help feed the animals and the children enjoyed it so much. It was a very nice time for us and will go back again.

We had a great time in the rented caravan.
We hired one of the caravans to take a break on the road between the Cape and Gauteng. We had a real camping experience with rainy, cold weather, but at least there were enough warm blankets and we slept warm and dry. The caravan and bathrooms are neatly and stylishly furnished. Linmarie did her best to accommodate us and even set up a camp cot for our baby. We did one of the hiking trails on the farm before the rain and our little girl really enjoyed the swing. Linmarie also invited our little girl to watch the farm animals being fed, but unfortunately it rained. One suggestion we might make is to put a microwave somewhere in the caravan. It would help a lot with cooking. Furthermore, the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed.

As a half way stop it was a good choice, we arrived late and left early again, everything was neat and clean.

Still silent.
The house is in a peaceful and quiet environment for a good night's rest. The main house's generator cannot be heard from the guest house during load shedding.

Deadly quiet environment.
The house is private and secluded, well equipped, clean and odorless. There is a very large covered braai and meeting area which is not shown in the photos. 8km of the 10km dirt road between the R389 and the N1 was in good condition (Aug 2021). Quiet was what we were looking for and that's exactly what we got.

Fair, clean with a view where bald goats and horses came to welcome us.
We felt very peaceful and safe in the Karoo with its silence and the calm that only the open spaces can bring. The bald goats and horses that came to greet us a few steps in front of the back door were something extra. Place was comfortable, clean and very reasonably priced.

Ideal for an overnight stay.
There is really everything we needed. Enough warm blankets and a heater. It was bitterly cold and the heater helped wonderfully. Linen clean and the place was tidy. Ideal to spend the night if the road is too long.

Feel accommodation is not up to standard compared to the price in high season, and as the accommodation in our opinion showed more than 10 shortcomings..
We list the deficiencies we found below. 1) 2 light bulbs short in the keef area light - couldn't see the oven settings etc. 2) Microwave short - will help for time saving and convenience. 3) Moths "pest" eg outside lights and front door light - consequently indoors - no insecticide, Tabaard or citronella candles. 4) Paraffin lamp on kitchen table - could not find any matches in the unit. 5) Water pressure/plumbing problem at kitchen sink and bathroom - Weak cold water pressure but strong hot water pressure 6) Replace shower head - only 14 thin fine jets from the head of which only one person's face hits at a time 7) Regarding security - (e.g. in light of the farm murders etc in SA) - no burglar bars on doors or windows 8) Ground level bedroom door does not fit in frame - cannot close or lock and a sizeable hole in one front door panel. 9) There was a hole in the double bed sheet 10) No guest soaps in the bathroom - after a search we did find one in a cupboard. 11) Living room furniture does not match the price - they look tired and dusty and are covered with throws 12) It was difficult to find the farm after dark because the signboard cannot be easily seen at night. We don't drive with a GPS. No one accompanied us to the guest house and we had to decide for ourselves which gate to open. We are of the opinion that the place is not worth the price of R1400 per night. Therefore, since we had the above-mentioned shortfalls, and because due to an unforeseen family crisis we only spent the night there with 2 people, we kindly request that you consider a possible 'token'/gesture as compensation to pay us back . On the positive side, we would like to mention that the layout of the unit was effective, the bedrooms and bathroom were neat and clean, and the hostess was friendly and welcoming even though we arrived quite late.

Neat and clean.
The place was neat and clean, but the bugs and spiders were quite bad. We were kindly received and felt at home. The place is far enough from the main road that you can't hear the sound, but close enough that it's not too far out of your way.
