I booked accommodation here for my mother. She can't stop talking about the hospitality and great customer service of the team. Furthermore, the place was neat and beautiful. She will now be a regular visitor as the place is now her chosen stopover on her travels between her children. Well done.

Breathtaking.
It was wonderful. I would recommend anyone to go there and will definitely visit again. We stayed 2 nights and walked 10 km during the day. The sunrises and sunsets were breathtaking. The food was some of the best and the decor comparable to any top hotel in the world. We were literally carried on our hands. Sweetfontein is on my list of favourites!

It wasn't a visit - it was a sleepover.
The surroundings and gardens are special. The room was spacious. Bathroom needs attention - Floor tiles in the shower are dangerous - sharp edges, no place to put shampoo and gel (glass bottles) when you are in the shower. No heels near shower. Shower head and taps full of lime. Bathroom door in battered condition - scuff on floor. Curtains not sufficient to block out light - no "blockout" material. Rooms not soundproof. Floor tiles freezing - no floor mat on the floor where you get out of bed. "Over the top decor" does not make a place boutique.

Very nice, friendly but rooms need better maintenance.
Place is beautiful. People are very friendly. Unfortunately the room's maintenance lagged behind with some things not working. The room we rented was rented as "deluxe family room", but we felt it was hopelessly too small for 3 people. however, was brilliant at taking the feedback. The farm remains very beautiful, it's our 3rd time back on the farm.

Disappointing.
We checked in expecting a lot from the "lodge", but anything but. First, the room door lock didn't work, but the helpful staff moved us to another room. It was great, but when we got into the room after dinner, all the wall plugs didn't work. After walking around to finally find someone who could help, only part of the plugs arrived. But as I walked around in the dark, I encountered drunk people, as well as others who were clearly not visitors. It makes one feel unsafe. The worst was the meal which was not cheap. The starter was served without items as indicated on the menu, and the one main course was the worst I have ever encountered in a restaurant. Items as indicated on the menu were replaced with any other ingredient that was not even cooked, or that was overcooked. Then there were also items left out at random as indicated on the menu. Considering the above this is not a place I would easily consider staying again. NB Viaza and Shane do make a difference to the place and try their best!

Disappointing for what is advertised and what one pays.
We were actually quite disappointed in our stay. The rate we had to pay for the 4 of us and for what we got is not worth it at all! Plus, the room listed on our reservation was not the room we stayed in. You pay extra for the children, but for them there was a rock hard sofa set up. The room and decor was very old. The bathroom was not completely clean, and the carpets in the room full of dust. It actually looks like we got a room they don't use much.

Sweetfontein is located in beautiful farm surroundings, would love to spend more time here. The rooms and bathrooms are very comfortable, luxurious and spacious. Our dinner was top notch, soup, lamb curry and lamb chops, with delicious pears cooked in wine and custard. Would perhaps just suggest that a light breakfast could be included in the price as it is far out of town.

On the way back from the Cape.
We were looking for accommodation on the way back from the Cape. I keyed in Britstown and didn't realize it was on a farm. The farm is equipped with its own restaurant and shop, but it is not the right place to spend the night if you want to relax and turn on the TV. You pay for the place's breakfast per item. Dinner costs R220 per person, there are 2 choices and dessert we had no choice - it was a stewed pear and piping hot custard. It's hopelessly overpriced when you consider that it costs R1900 per night to sleep. The location is not good.

Sweetfontein is like an oasis in the Karoo. This guest farm overflows with creativity and little surprises around every corner. Dinner was delicious and value for money with a beautiful view over the Karooveld. Besides being a guest farm, it is also a beautiful wedding venue that would be perfect for a weekend wedding. My only complaint is that our bed's mattress has seen better days. The mattress is very thin and with every turn you hear the springs in the mattress crack and press into your back. The description on the website was that the room had a king size bed which was not the truth. It was a double or maybe a queen size.

Luxury Karoo farm sleepover!
We were greeted by Jevonne who immediately made us feel at home. Spacious and well equipped rooms, cozy and beautiful view over the Karooveld. Beautiful main building where everyone eats together on the large farm porch. A real oasis in the great Karoo!

Luxury in the middle of the Karoo. Quiet, friendly, exactly what we expected.
We had a room which is spacious with bath and shower. The room's veranda overlooks the plains of the Karoo. Our first night on our trip to the Karoo was here, we booked another night on the way back and it was for sure the highlight of our Karoo visit. We booked dinner one night and a barbecue another. The barbecue was delicious, good value for money. They deck for us outside where we could see the beautiful sunset. Really delicious. The dinner was lamb shanks, very nice for the evening we arrived late. However, the braai pack is better value for money. Breakfast also nice. I would recommend asking for the room with the bath and shower, it was heavenly. In general, the place is well maintained and gives you the silence and karoo experience you want. Recommendations to make it even better: an outdoor mat to wipe the thorn from your shoes otherwise you will carry thorns into the room and later step on them barefoot. The light in the toilet: make it separate so that you are not bothered if you want to visit the toilet in the evening. Coffee machine is awesome, but difficult to access in the drawer. We will be back for sure.

When all 3 of your children ask you "Mommy can we please stay longer" this is the first sign ... so much space, and the Karoo air can't be described to anyone! We were friendly welcomed and the rooms were warmed up for the July cold. The decor is a work of art! The food was hearty, with freshly baked "roosterkoek" for starters. What more can you ask for?

A visual feast.
Beautiful, safe accommodation. Few places here and there that need attention: no soap in the main bedroom's en suite, no coffee mugs in the room and only 2 glasses. But they sorted this out in a really friendly way when we reported it to the host. Unfortunately we booked the room without DStv, but the free WiFi made up for it. One issue: no dinner choice. Kids meals cost exactly the same as adult meals, R150 per person. Lamb stew, rice and home-made lemonade for dinner. I recommend giving a choice beforehand, especially for the kids. Breakfast not included, we had to pay R90 per breakfast, irrespective of size. Porridge, bacon, sausage, egg and cereal.

Friendliest reception ever and very hospitable. Just off our route between Calvinia and Kimberley with the advantage of it being far from the main roads and quiet. The guests socialising until quite late at night in the dining room next to us was somewhat annoying but not unacceptable. The shower's water pressure was a problem, but we were told it would be fixed immediately. Apart from that the suite was lovely.

Fruit is available, it was on the table next to you. Tea was made, it just took 4 minutes for the kettle to boil. Yogurt was also available and on the table. There was 2 jugs of juice on the table as well. You did not book a 3-course meal, which is available at the establishment. When we spoke on the phone you asked for a normal dinner, we did inform you what we are serving and you had no problem with the meal choice. Dinner was served on the time that was requested. No dinner will be served if the guest is not at the table. Fruit is always available as well as coffee and tea.
