Quiet, beautiful view, relax.
It's a wonderful place in the Karoo to end. The fact that there is no power makes it even better. One lives back in the old days with the donkeys and the lamps that burn with a fireplace. There is a gas geyser and everything. It is comfortable, peaceful and very beautiful.

Unforgettable.
It was basically the highlight of our vacation. What an experience with all the rain that fell there. The friendly donkeys were a delight. Sorry we could only stay one night.

A place on the edge of the Karoo's greatness.
We thoroughly enjoyed the absence of electricity and the visits in front of the fireplace. Soul renewing.

A heart place.
Salt of the earth, and that's how Karoo people are, how else? Rest for your body, mind and soul. Away from the hustle and bustle of life.

Breathtakingly beautiful - the most beautiful cottage, quiet, beautiful view and the most beautiful stars.
If you like road driving, you should spend the night here. Take the road from Merweville, go across the tarmac again to the dirt road next to Fraserburg. Book at this incredible oasis. So romantic with candles and paraffin lamps. At least LED lights too! The most beautiful furniture, each room with modern en-suite bathrooms, hot water, super neat, equipped with everything and the most beautiful sheepskin quilt and goose down duvets on the bed. Then take the road to the left over the Ou Poort Pass. Wow! Get off the tarmac and see the world on the dirt roads!

Experience the quiet inner circle of the Karoo.
One can tell matter-of-factly: Neat, clean, well-equipped house with 360-degree mountain views, effective booking and reception, safe environment, suitable for outdoor enthusiasts, etc. Or you can wax lyrical: Excellent, exceptional accommodation where you experience from the first light on the impressive mountains, to the last wonder at the stars, the silences and testimonies of hundreds of millions of years of Karoo evolution - an exceptional place that you will cherish and of which you will dream for a long time. Add to that a warm welcome and interesting local stories. Just decide which description you prefer: Both are true. The slightly fewer stars for "value for money" is simply because the distance from our place of residence also eats into gas money; in fact the accommodation cost is reasonable. The four stars for location is also because it is a little far for a short stay, but the actual location of the house with the views of mountains and valleys is excellent. Highly recommend.

Tamboershoek is very nicely situated on a sheep farm in the Karoo. Beautiful and neat. Had a great stay, just be careful if you go there in the summer - it can get very hot!

Dit was lekker om julle te kon ontvang en die uniekheid van die Karoo met julle te kon deel.
Ja-nee, die Karoo is beslis nie mak in hoogsomer nie.
Probeer dit in die winter.

Wonderful views, but no shade on the veranda, so hot.
Tamboershoek 's response
Good day,
I am so sorry that the splash pool was not available during a very hot time of the year. However, it was explained to all our guests that due to the extreme drought we did not have enough water to fill the pool.
The verandah has no permanent structure for shade because during the rest of the year it is absolutely stunning to sit on the verandah and enjoy the view and the sun, and the moon, and the stars. However, there is a large, industrial umbrella in the cottage for use by the guests. We do not put it up permanently due to high winds. Thank you for bringing this under my attention. In future, I will inform the guests about the umbrella, as well as offer assistance to put it up.
Thank you for your feedback.
Regards,
Gerda Kellerman

We couldn't have asked for a better location and view!
The two bedroom cottage far away from lights and people was exactly what we were looking for! The silence and view and countless stars in the evening were balm for the soul. What made the experience even more special is that there is no cell phone reception and we visited in the evening by lamplight and fireplace! The cottage is very well equipped and the beds sleep like a dream. A highlight was "swimming" in the plunge pool in the late afternoon and drinking in the incredible view. It was absolute value for money!

Place to recharge the soul.
If you want to get away from everything and everyone and find your feet, this is the perfect place. Everything you want from a self-catering unit and even more you will find there. Beautiful rooms and neatly and nicely furnished. Didn't miss electricity at all, owners provided enough oil lamps and battery lights. The indoor fireplace created a wonderful atmosphere. Beautiful view. River walk was unfortunately dry, no wildlife seen. Will definitely visit again and highly recommend.
