Lovely, peaceful, friendly atmosphere. We had a great time relaxing and resting.
We had a very nice stay. The service is excellent and the lady who received us on our arrival was very friendly and helpful. However, the air conditioning could not be set to warm, and since it is a large living/sleeping area, it was very cold and we could only use the fireplace, which by its nature could not burn throughout the night. The road to the property is also very bad.

Above Karoo peace.
The lovely cottage is located in a quiet part of Bethulie. It was spotless and very tidy. We were received kindly and helped quickly. We cooled off in the main house's swimming pool after a long day on the road. The perfect place to stay overnight, especially if you want to explore the back roads and avoid the busy N1. A snap on the long Bethulie Bridge is a "must"!

'n Rustige plek met alle geriewe en 'n plek waar my honde vry kan rondhardloop in 'n omheinde area. Ek het ongelukkig 'n paar van my goed daar vergeet en hulle was meer as bereid om my te help om dit aan my terug te besorg. Binne 2 dae het iemand my goed in my tuisdorp afgelaai, en ek sal my gasheer vir altyd dankbaar wees. Nogmaals dankie! Die moeite werd om tyd daar deur te bring.

Owners with smaller adventurous dogs should know that the enclosure is of such a nature that your four-legged friends can easily take the road and explore/escape if you are not keeping an eye on them. Larger dogs are safe in the yard. It's a shame the air conditioning didn't work because it was really, really hot. The alternative "mobile air conditioner" didn't work for the whole house.

Karoo Pandok's Farmers Cottage is definitely one of the places we come back to again and again. No matter how far we were from here, we always make a stop at the beginning of our holiday, or as a last stop on the way home. The cottage is well laid out and is far enough away from other dwellings to be really private. Louise, the hostess, is always friendly and helpful and genuinely happy to see us. Clean, tidy and safe, and of course far enough away from everything that you know you're getting a proper rest. Bethulie and its people are close to the heart and Farmers Cottage is a favorite destination.

A nice getaway for two people.
We arrived on the Thursday late afternoon and Louise received us with a big smile. Service and courtesy to our hostess was always very good. The cottage is equipped with most essentials for self-catering and is fairly accessible from the main route through town. The roads in town are generally not in good condition, but I was able to get around without too much trouble in a sedan car. Take mosquito nets with you and if you are fussy about food, especially fresh meat and vegetables, take your own food supply with you. If not, try the local eateries of which there are few.

Beautiful and comfortable, as long as you go in the summer.
We arrived there in the late afternoon and Louise warmly welcomed us and showed us everything. The place is really beautiful and very nicely decorated. However, it is terribly cold and one has to buy firewood at R30/bag. We then ordered two bags which were delivered with matches and a tiny piece of 'firelighter'. There were no small sticks or anything to help the fire and it soon died. If it hadn't been for the electric blanket on the bed, we would surely have caught cold. However, I think in the summer it would be lovely to stay there and hang out on the nice patio. I would recommend that the owners start a fire for travelers as a courtesy. It will make the world of difference.
