Die rustigheid en stilte is die moeite werd.

Slegs een nag gebly, maar die stilte en rustigheid was beslis die rus werd.

The peace and quiet is worth it.

Only stayed one night, but the silence and tranquility was definitely worth the rest.

Mooi plekkie, het alles wat nodig is - sal weer daar bly.

Baie lekker - Jurg en sy vrou is baie behulpsaam en gasvry. Ons is spyt dat ons nie Jurg se sterrekyk bygewoon het nie - dink dit sou beter wees as SALT aanbieding. Jaco is 'n skatkis van kennis oor paleontologie - sal dit volgende keer wil bywoon.

Waarde vir geld verblyf in 'n stil straat aan die kant van die dorp.

Ons het heerlik gebly in die Skrywershuisie met sy dik mure en pragtige houtvloere. Ons kon ook lekker foto's van die sterre neem vanaf die straat voor die huisie.

In die koue en donker.

Het in die koue en donkerte (krag was af in Sutherland) gearriveer. Die sakkie hout wat gegee is, is waardeer, al het dit vinnig verdwyn in die koue om die plekkie warm te kry. Verder was die verblyf heel gemaklik en gerieflik.

Potensiaal.

Baie potensiaal, maar ongelukkig was dit bietjie van 'n "let-down". Dit was nie reg toe ons wou inklok nie, en die plekkie was definitief nie uitgevee en ordentlik skoongemaak nie. Baie potensiaal om lekker kuier-huisie te wees vir 2 paartjies.

Potentially.

Lots of potential, but unfortunately it was a bit of a "let-down". It was not right when we wanted to check in, and the place was definitely not swept and cleaned properly. Lots of potential to be a nice holiday cottage for 2 couples.

Rustig verby kuier.

Goed toegeruste huisie, alles wat jy nodig het. Dit is op die kant van die dorp met oop veld langs en oorkant. Ongelooflik stil en rustig. Dit was bitterlik koud, maar die kamers het elk 'n muurverwarmer en elektriese komberse op die bed, dit was heerlik knus binne. Ek was bietjie bekommerd omdat daar nie hoë heinings is vir die motor se veiligheid, maar komende van Noordwes is dit maar altyd 'n bekommernis. Kombuis is goed toegerus met alles wat jy nodig het, beddegoed was vars en mooi. Definitief aanbeveel vir 'n stil wegbreek.

Take a leisurely stroll.

Well equipped cottage, everything you need. It is on the side of the town with open fields beside and opposite. Incredibly quiet and peaceful. It was bitterly cold, but the rooms each have a wall heater and electric blankets on the bed, it was wonderfully cozy inside. I was a bit worried because there are no high fences for the car's safety, but coming from the North West it is always a concern. Kitchen is well equipped with everything you need, bedding was fresh and nice. Definitely recommended for a quiet getaway.

Beautiful and comfortable old-fashioned house on the edge of town.

The cottage is a classic old fashioned building. The rooms are very comfortable. Nice fireplace. Secure parking. The owner had put the heaters on before we came. On the edge of town so one can experience the Karooveld and silence.

Baie lekker gekuier.

Sterland Skrywershuisie is 'n baie oulike plekkie. Lekker stil omgewing en die aand gaan sterre kyk saam met Jurg - dit was 'n belewenis. Sal die verblyf en sterrekyk vir seker aanbeveel. Sal weer daar wil oornag en langer bly.

Had a great time.

Sterland Skrywershuisie is a very cute place. Nice quiet environment and in the evening went stargazing with Jurg - it was an experience. Would definitely recommend the stay and stargazing. Would like to spend the night there again and stay longer.

Rustig en lekker.

Skrywershuisie het als wat jy benodig vir selfsorgverblyf. Die stoep is 'n heerlike plek om te ontspan. Dis stil en rustig en die plaasdam met die visse is wonderlik. Daar word baie aandag aan fyn detail in die huis gegee: daar is waaiers in elke kamer, flitsligte indien daar beurtkrag is, ekstra komberse vir die winter. Hier kan jy van die stad se geraas ontsnap.

Quiet and nice.

Skrywershuisie has everything you need for self-catering accommodation. The stoep is a lovely place to relax. It's quiet and peaceful and the farm pond with the fish is wonderful. There is a lot of attention to fine detail in the house: there are fans in every room, flashlights if there is load shedding, extra blankets for the winter. Here you can escape from the city's noise.

Met koffie in my hand, weggesak in 'n stoel, kon ek verstaan waarom mense die stad se gewoel opgee vir n klein dorpie se vrede.

Knus en warm. 'n Baie netjiese plekkie. Goed toegerus vir oornag. Ons het regtig tuis gevoel en ek was spyt dat ek nie sommer 'n week kon bly nie. Die visdam is 'n oulike gedagte.

With coffee in my hand, sunk into a chair, I could understand why people give up the hustle and bustle of the city for the peace of a small town.

Cozy and warm. A very neat place. Well equipped for overnight stay. We really felt at home and I regretted that I couldn't just stay for a week. The fish pond is a cute thought.

Skoon, baie goed ingerig, wonderlike gasheer.

Ons het die Skrywershuisie regtig baie baie geniet. Dit was baie goed ingerig (tot 'n knyper vir slaai) en skoon en jy voel sommer tuis. Jurg was 'n wonderlike gasheer en die ontbyt by die Whitehouse Inn was onverbeterlik. Bederf jouself en bespreek hierdie verblyf. Moenie eers twee keer dink nie!

'n Plek wat ons gesin beslis weer sal besoek.

Die huisie is die perfekte "selfsorg" wegbreek-plek. Ons het niks kortgekom nie. Selfs die gekraak van die beddens het ons gesien as deel van die ervaring en die kaggeltjie het mooi gewerk sonder om die huisie toe te rook. Miskien sal dit nie 'n slegte idee wees om 'n haan bo-op die braai se skoorsteen te sit nie. Die wind uit die Noorde druk nogal die rook redelik uit. Baie dankie vir Oom Jurg se vriendelikheid en die vertroue wat hulle in vreemde mense sit - sê baie van hul goeie karakter.

A place that our family will definitely visit again.

The cottage is the perfect self-catering breakaway accommodation. We didn't need anything more. Even the creaking of the beds were part of the experience and the fireplace worked nicely without smoking up the cottage. Perhaps it would not be a bad idea to put a rooster on the chimney. The wind from the north pushes the smoke outside. Thanks to Oom Jurg for his kindness and the confidence they put in strangers - says a lot about their good character.

Verbasend luuks vir Sutherland, en teen daardie prys!

Daar is niks in die Skrywershuisie wat jy moontlik kan kortkom nie. As die Skrywershuisie jou nie pas nie, is jy 'n bedorwe brokkie wat nooit met enigiets tevrede is nie.
