Soul invigorating and wonderful.
Very special place. Quiet, secluded and totally private. Beautiful starry sky at night. The sky is particularly close. Wonderful hostess, Charmaine as well as her husband, Piet.

The most beautiful place where your soul can rest!
Stuurmansfontein is a place that crawls under your skin! The peace and tranquility you experience with the most beautiful stars in the evenings is irreplaceable. Piet and Charmaine make so much effort to make you feel at home! We are spoiled every day with a freshly baked sourdough bun! It's so nice to also experience the history of the Korbeelhuisies, it's a must for anyone to experience it!

What a unique experience and a must for anyone interested in history.
The experience made possible by Charmaine is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The detail of the furniture and accessories as well as everything to make the stay as comfortable as possible is exceptional. The silence is something I haven't experienced in a very long time. After such a visit, one becomes humbly grateful for the comfort of our own homes.

Magic! In the beautiful Karoo.
What an experience to be able to stay in the Korbeelhuis: from arrival (and even en route) to departure, everything was perfect - the 24 + 5 km from the main road to Stuurmansfontein was exhilaratingly beautiful, the reception and welcome warm, and the Karoo thunderstorm and raining dramatically. The house (national monument) is beautifully preserved and clean, tastefully and well furnished, and everything needed to live comfortably but authentically is there. Enough fresh spring water, dry firewood, candles and matches and even 2 large rechargeable lanterns to see better at night make life easy; there was ice in the freezer for a tired army. The starry sky, field sounds at night and sunrise are like a 4D movie. My stay away from the hustle and bustle was really nice: being able to relax and live in the moment while thinking about big things. 5 stars!

Leave your modern life behind and come switch off.
No electricity or cell phone reception, exactly what we were looking for. Surrounded by the beautiful Karoo with sheep that come to drink water and the tranquility that you will never find in the city. You can hear yourself thinking and the sunset and sunrise are indescribable here. The stars were countless and it was an incredible experience. So if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and just switch off and rest, this is the place for you. Charmaine hung rosemary everywhere which filled the whole place with the most delicious smell and the cottage is very tastefully done with everything you could need. The outdoor shower was an experience and we will definitely come here again to rest.

Unforgettable.
Stayed at Stuurmansfontein two years ago and it was a very special experience because with no electricity (just gas, candles and lamps), and no cell phone reception and WiFi, and the seclusion with endless Karoo views it is a place of silence , peace, stars and safety without equal. The cottage has been tastefully restored with all the amenities one could wish for, especially the braai area. When the opportunity arose again to stay here, the cottage was fortunately available. The contrast between the brown drought-stricken Karoo of two years ago, which is now so green after the fantastic rain that has fallen there recently, could not have been more dramatic. Charmaine is a wonderful hostess and the basket full of Karoo lamb chops, sausage, salad, bread and biscuits was something special. Stuurmansfontein can be recommended without reservation for an experience without equal.
