Skoorsteenberg Farm and Cottages

The most wonderful stay! Nana is an incredible host!

The most wonderful stay! Nana is an incredible host. She went out of her way to make our stay worth it. The accommodation is extremely well-equipped. This is the type of stay where you just need to bring clothes and food, as everything else is provided. The location of the accommodation is perfect for someone who loves to be outdoors and in nature. A clear sky means wonderful stargazing too! If the weather is too hot, there is also a small splash pool to help cool you down. Everything is just perfect!

Relaxing 3 nights.

We loved it! We stayed for 3 nights in Date Cottage and had a great time. This is the perfect place for a proper break. Off the grid but so comfortable. The cottage has everything you need. There are beautiful walks, sunsets and animals on the farm. Nona was so warm and friendly and we even got a freshly baked bread on our 2nd day. Thank you!

Sekerlik die deel van ons wegbreek waarna ons die meeste uitgesien het en Skoorsteenberg het nie teluergestel nie!

Asemrowende landskappe, stilte wat jou ore seermaak en sterre waaraan mens kan vat! Die netheid en rustigheid van die kothuis het net gehelp om alles nog beter te maak! Nana is 'n ware gasvrou en uiters bedag en besorgd. Ons het net weer van voor af verlief geraak op die Tankwa en Nana se plaas is 'n juweel daarin. Vriendelike mense in die omgewing. Die Padstal is 'n landmerk op pad soontoe en die pad van Ceres laat mens in bewondering weer vir die natuur!

Tranquil cosy stay in the heart of the Tankwa.

The perfect Tankwa stay! Clean and very cosy accommodation. Lots of open spaces to 'play'. Nana was so helpful. The Tankwa gave its best to us!

It has been our 7th stay at Skoorsteenberg but our first winter stay. We found that it is best to go either spring or autumn, but summers can be very beautiful as well although it can get extremely hot.

We had a bit of difficulty getting to the farm and 4x4 was required due to a very muddy R355. Two days before our departure, the access farm road was severely flooded but the water subsided just at the right time, so with 4x4 low range we could make it back ok as this road was extremely muddy. It is advisable to contact the farm owner to find out about road conditions, especially if you drive a normal sedan.

Het baie lekker gebly. Het net te min tyd gehad om die Karoo ten volle te geniet.

Dit is die regte plek om rus vir die siel te kry. Het alles wat beskikbaar is, waardeer aangesien dit baie moeite verg om so 'n afgeleë plek te bedryf.

Wonderlik en rustig. Pragtige natuurskoon.

Dankie aan Nana dat sy ons rifrug Simba geduld het. Ek weet hy het soms bietjie gepla maar dit was wonderlik om hom by ons te hê.

Afgeleë, rustig en stil.

Die gasvrou Nanna is baie behulpsaam en vriendelik en die huis is baie goed toegerus, skoon en prakties. Wat uitgestaan het was die warmwaterstelsel. Daar is 'n keuse van elektries of 'n donkie om die water warm te kry. Ek het verkies om die donkie te gebruik en so het ons 'n oorvloed warm water gehad vir die hele tyd. Verder het ons baie lekker daar gekuier en die stilte baie geniet.

Heerlik ontspan in pragtige omgewing. Akkommodasie bied alles en meer.

Wonderlike omgewing vir aktiewe voetslaners en bergfiets-entoesiaste. Die omgewing is pragtig. Die akkommodasie is baie goed ingerig en regtig mooi. Geen internet/selfoonontvangs wat 'n bonus is.

Afgesonder en verlate.

Ons kuier was heerlik. Dit is baie ver weg van enige iets af en 'n fantastiese plek om af te skakel. Die sterre in die nag is onbeskryflik. Ons was in die Olive cottage. Die eenheid is baie netjies, ruim en skoon. Die stoep kyk uit oor die vlaktes en mens kry vrede in jou siel. Die swembad was skoon en 'n baie lekker af koel plek teen die hitte. Ek sal dit enige dag aanbeveel vir mense wat heeltemal wil wegkom van alles af. Maak seker jy vat jou SLR kamera om daai sterre vas te vang.

Heerlik en baie baie mooi!

Die mooiste huis en silwerskoon. Alles wat mens benodig en dit is regtig asemrowend mooi. Die maan was vol en ons kon heerlik op die stoep sit en uittuur oor die mooi Tankwaberge. Beslis sal ons weer gaan. Die kinders was mal oor die diere op die plaas en ons het heerlik afgekoel in die splash pool. Baie dankie!

What a gem of a place. Well appointed cottages in a stunning location. You can hear the silence!

We were welcomed by Nana at the cottage. The units are well appointed with all you may need. Webber, braai and open fire place. The houses are well insulated against the cold in winter. A place where children can run free. Lovely walk up the kloof and on the vlakte. We will definitely go back. A bonus is that there is no cellphone reception!

In the middle of the desert.

We went in the heat of summer, but the wind was a relief.

Lovely escape.

We had a wonderful time at Skoorsteenberg. This is truly an escape of a different kind and will appeal to most people. You are totally disconnected from the world - no cellphone reception, Wi-Fi or television. Instead we had endless walks in the mountain behind us, cooled down in the plunge pool and had fantastic suppers outside with the most spectacular display of stars. The house accommodates six people easily and the fans worked well in very hot weather. We felt safe at all times and will certainly return one day!
