We had a delightful, peaceful and comfortable stay at Sonnevleg.

In spite of arriving late, with a flat tyre, in the middle of a widespread electricity blackout, as well as unseasonal high winds and a sandstorm, we had the most amazing, peaceful, and comfortable stay at Sonnevleg. The house is beautiful, and it was a delight to stay there. The hosts had left us a bottle of delicious wine, and several battery lanterns to make up for the lack of electricity, and went above and beyond to help us as much as possible to sort out the flat tyre the following day. Such warmth and hospitality is a precious experience of this part of the country.

Netjies, skoon goed ingerig. Absolute waarde vir geld. Sal definitief aanbeveel.

Ons het dit ongelooflik baie geniet. Huis is baie goed ingerig, netjies en skoon. Die antieke houtvloere in die plaashuis was baie besonders en mooi. Ons het die jacuzzi vreeslik geniet wat soos 'n donkie warm maak en uitkyk oor die Karoo. Ons sal definitief weer wil kom kuier. Dankie vir die lekker verblyf.

Neat, clean well furnished. Absolute value for money. Will definitely recommend.

We enjoyed it incredibly much. House is very well furnished, neat and clean. The antique wooden floors in the farmhouse were very special and beautiful. We really enjoyed the jacuzzi which warms up like a donkey and overlooks the Karoo. We will definitely want to visit again. Thank you for the nice stay.

Terugkeer bestemming.

Ons sal beslis teruggaan, en ek kan enige iemand aanbeveel om by Sonnevleg Self-catering te gaan oorbly. Ons grootste spyt is dat ons net een aand daar spandeer het. Dit is beslis ook 'n bestemming waar jy kan gaan rus en jou siel vind! Ons sal beslis ook aanbeveel om by die eienaars van hul heerlike Karoo-lam, potbrood, beskuit, konfyt, ens. te bestel! Puik, puik, puik!

Return destination.

We will definitely go back, and I can recommend anyone to stay at Sonnevleg Self-catering. Our biggest regret is that we only spent one night there. It is definitely also a destination where you can rest and find your soul! We would certainly also recommend visiting the owners for their delicious Karoo lamb, pot bread, rusk, jam, etc. to order! Great, great, great!

Pragitge tyd van die jaar om Calivinia te besoek.

Wat 'n fantastiese vakansieplek. Rustig, mooi en pragtige uitsigte van die plaas. Kamers is lekker ruim en goeie beddegoed en natuurlik die beste plek om te braai. is op die stoep aan die voorkant van die huis. Ons was bevoorreg om donderweer en reën te ervaar die eerste dag wat ons daar aangekom het. Bestel gerus die roosterkoeke, dit is heerlik. Ons sal defnitief weer terug wees. Dankie Janri en Dirkie vir 'n fantastiese vakansie! P.S. as dit reën, maak seker julle gaan met 'n 4x4 - net boere kan ry met 'n 2x4 op die grondpaaie wat nat is.

Great time of year to visit Calivinia.

What a fantastic vacation spot. Quiet, beautiful and beautiful views of the farm. Rooms are nice and spacious with good bedding and of course the best place to barbecue. is on the porch at the front of the house. We were fortunate to experience thunder and rain the first day we arrived. Feel free to order the grilled cakes, they are delicious. We will definitely be back again. Thank you Janri and Dirkie for a fantastic holiday! P.S. if it rains, make sure you go with a 4x4 - only farmers can drive with a 2x4 on the dirt roads that are wet.

Heerlike, rustige plaasatmosfeer.

Die huis is mooi en volledig ingerig met flitse en herlaaibare gloeilampe om te gebruik gedurende load shedding. Die elektriese kombers was 'n groot bederf. Daar is ook 'n gasverwarmer wat baie gehelp het teen die koue.

Lovely, peaceful farm atmosphere.

The house is nicely and fully furnished with flashlights and rechargeable light bulbs to use during load shedding. The electric blanket was a huge treat. There is also a gas heater which helped a lot against the cold.

Absolutely awesome!

If you are looking for peace and quiet and a home away from home, and Far from the Maddening Crowds, then this is the place you want! The peace is overwhelming, especially on the first day, as the silence hits you as soon as you have settled down and have a drink on the front porch, where you can sit and look into the very far distance! Coming from Cape Town, where we have Table Mountain, here at Sonnevleg there is a small flat-topped hill which my wife very aptly called The Side Table Mountain, small brother to Table Mountain! We walked all around the farm which was thoroughly enjoyable, and we saw many small animals, and a regular visitor to our porch was a grey mongoose, and on one occasion she slipped past with her young brood! Bird watchers would also be quite happy here with many raptors taking to the skies, aside from all the Little Brown Jobs in abundance! If I could make one suggestion, it would be to advise folk that the Wi-Fi signal is very weak, especially with Vodacom - MTN apparently has no issue. This was a huge thing for us as we have a very elderly parent and the necessity to be in touch with her was paramount - and with limited Vodacom signal, this was not always possible. So, if this aspect could be addressed or mentioned in the blurb, this would help! But please do know that this was the only issue we had! The rest of the time we spent at Sonnevleg was just simply stunning! Loved, loved, loved Sonnevleg! Highly recommended! Thanks so much, Janri! Oh yes! Please do be sure to buy the lamb packs on offer! True Karoo Lamb at its sublime best! Yum!

Ons kuiertjie was baie lekker en sal dit vir enige iemand aanbeveel. Dit was heerlik om al die plaas- en voëlgeluide te kan hoor. Geen gejaagdheid nie.

Heerlik en ontspannend gewees.

Heerlike privaat op die plaaservaring.

Gasvrou is baie hulpvaardig vriendelik en gee inligting. Die plaas is ver van enige winkel, dus neem alles saam op een slag. Baie veilig in die natuur. Gaste pla niemand anders nie. Word ook nie gepla nie. Vra of daar ander gaste ook gaan wees. Die huis is groot en het alles wat benodig word. Goed toegerus en baie mooi binne ook. Beddens en bedegoed baie hoe standaard. Min sein, geen TV, die Karoo en jou mense. Was wonderlik. Sien mooi sterre.

Lovely private on the farm experience.

Hostess is very helpful and friendly and gives information. The farm is far from any shop, so take everything together at once. Very safe in nature. Guests don't bother anyone else. Don't be bothered either. Ask if there will be other guests too. The house is big and has everything needed. Well equipped and very nice inside too. Beds and bedding very standard. Little signal, no TV, the Karoo and your people. Was great. See beautiful stars.

Die perfekte huis diep in die Karoo.

Hierdie plek is 'n juweel. Lieflik minimalisties, gemaklik, ruim, goed toegerus, vriendelike gashere, veilig, en 'n fees van veld vir die honde. Uit die boeke, ons is sommer gou weer terug by Sonnevleg!

Een aand se oorslaap vir 'n sakereis.

Pragtige en smaakvol gerestoureerde plaashuis. Uiters geskik vir 'n groter groep met 4 ruim slaapkamers. Goed toegerus met alles wat nodig is vir gemaklike verblyf. Baie goeie kommunikasie met die bestuur vooraf.

Heerlik, rustige plaasomgewing. Kon absoluut net afskakel.

'n Groep vriende wat oor die land verspreid is en 'n sentrale punt vir almal gesoek om bymekaar te kom. Sonnevleg se ligging was perfek vir ons. Die eienaars het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons te ontvang en welkom te laat voel. Ons sien uit om weer 'n opvolgbesoek te doen vorentoe.

Lovely, peaceful farm setting. Could absolutely just turn off.

A group of friends scattered across the country and looking for a central point for everyone to gather. Sonnevleg's location was perfect for us. The owners went out of their way to receive us and make us feel welcome. We look forward to another follow-up visit in the future.

Ou plaashuis is 'n wenner.

Ons het baie lekker in die huis gebly - tipiese ou plaashuis, en als was skoon en netjies. Die omgewing is baie rustig. Hier kan jy ordentlik afskakel.
