Beslis "die plek" vir ons!

Ons het heerlik Red Rock vir 2 aande gebly saam met vriende. Almal was mal oor die plekkie, binne en buite. Wonderlik toegerus met alles wat jy nodig het en meer. Heerlike plonsbad selfs met 'n swembadfilter, net groot genoeg vir vier. Ons het 'n heerlike tyd daarin deurgebring. Moenie vergeet om die smullekker olyfbrood voor aankoms te bestel nie. Die trots en keurige keuses van die eienaars weerspieël in hierdie pragtige plekkie.

Definitely "the place" for us!

We had a lovely stay at Red Rock for 2 nights with friends. Everyone loved the place, inside and out. Wonderfully equipped with everything you need and more. Lovely splash pool even with a pool filter, just big enough for four. We spent a lovely time in it. Don't forget to order the delicious olive bread before arrival. The pride and exquisite choices of the owners are reflected in this beautiful place.

A magical calming space to complete destress in.

Such a quiet tranquil space (despite the donkeys waking my dogs in the middle of the night) beautifully and simply appointed accommodation, oozing style, made me want to pack up and move to the Karoo! Lizette's olive bread was a must! Hot straight from her oven to our door.

Blissfully quiet and very relaxing. Very comfortable with all the conveniences.

The hostess was very welcoming and attentive but very respectful of our privacy. She was very responsive to any queries we had. Her homebaked bread was delicious, delivered straight from the oven. There was a great indoor fireplace to keep us warm - the Little Karoo mornings and evenings can be very chilly. There are a few short walks to do but otherwise make sure you've got some good books with you. It's a place to really get away and have downtime and enjoy the beautiful sunsets over the Karoo landscape.

Rustige plek vir stil naweek wegbreek.

Lekker kuier eenheid vir rustige stil naweek weg van stadsrumoer. Mooi uitsig oor Karoovlakte maar nie op water geleë. Tensy jy jou fiets bring is daar relatief beperkte aktiwiteitsopsies. Huisie kort bietjie toerusting opgradering. Goeie en vriendelike diens van eienaar.

Ongelooflik amazing verby. Ons wou nie daar wegry nie.

Ons love die Karoo en hierdie plek is regtig besonders. So baie oop vensters wat uitkyk oor die Karoo-vlaktes. Privaat. Netjies. Jy sien net berge en bossies vir kilometers. Kan rond stap. Lekker braai. Jis mense, ek kannie opsom hoe lekker ons gebly het nie en ons wou regtig nie daar wegry nie. Lizelle is net so aangename mens en so vriendelik en mens kan sien sy doen hierdie, want sy love mense en sy love hulle plekkie.

Guys, I can't sum up how nice our stay was and we really didn't want to leave. Lizelle is just such a pleasant person and so friendly and you can see she does this, because she loves people and she loves their place.

As jy moeg word vir die lewe in die stad, kom laai jou batterye hier!

Bykans 'n 4 uur reis vanaf die Kaap en als die moeite werd en vriendelike ontvangs deur Lizelle! Ons blyplek, The Studio, met sy eenvoud, pragtig deur Lizelle versier met haar kunswerk, het ons 'n welverdiende wegbreek verseker. Of jy op die voorstoep of agterstoep kuier, beide het die Klein-Karoo met sy pragtige uitsig jou bekoor. 'n Sinkbad het my nog nooit geveel nie maar hierdie sink(swem)bad het die kol getref! Wonderlik, net 'n verkleinwoord. Ja, terug tuis, met net die mooiste herinneringe wat ons baie lank sal bybly. Ons sou 'n draagbare braaidrom verwelkom.

Almost a 4 hour journey from the Cape and well worth it and friendly reception by Lizelle! Our accommodation, The Studio, with its simplicity, beautifully decorated by Lizelle with her artwork, ensured us a well-deserved break. Whether you hang out on the front porch or the back porch, the Klein-Karoo will charm you with its beautiful view. A sink has never appealed to me, but this sink (swimming) bath hit the spot! Wonderful, just a diminutive. Yes, back home, with only the most beautiful memories that will stay with us for a very long time. We would welcome a portable braai drum.

Red Rock Cottage is perfek om weg te glip van die stadslewe.

Red Rock cottage was skoon en net wat 'n gesin van 3/4 nodig het. Daar is 2 kamers en 2 badkamers. Groot genoeg leefarea, met kombuis en ’n lekker area om buite te braai. Daar is oulike plekkies om te besoek in dié area. Veral as jy ‘n 4x4-voertuig het.

Stilte vir jou siel.

As jy hou van privaatheid en geen gedrom om jou nie, is The Place die plek om te wees. Die grondpad is van so aard dat jy met klein voertuie (Soos ons Nissan Micra) kan ry tot by die huisie. Ons wou bietjie rus en vrede ervaar weg van die stad se gejaag en dit is presies wat ons hier gekry het. Ek beveel The Place definitief aan.

If you like privacy and no crowds around you, The Place is the place to be. The dirt road is of such a nature that you can drive up to the cottage with small vehicles (like our Nissan Micra).

Perfect escape from the busy city life!

Such a nice weekend I just wish we could have stayed longer. I think this was the friendliest service I have ever experienced in my life! (thank you Lizelle). Loved the uninterrupted peace and quite - even took a dip in the plunge pool. The wood stove, the bread, the evening braai just me and my partner outside, everything was just on point! Suggestion - maybe a tuck shop with just some basic essentials. Otherwise, I highly recommend The Place.

Peaceful break from the city life, brilliant hosts, amazing time.

To start things off the hosts Lizelle and Joseph have an extremely well detailed description of how to get to The Studio Flat at The Place because one could very easily get lost in all that open land. That being said, we arrived safely at The Place. Shortly thereafter Lizelle arrived with a freshly baked Olive and Rosemary bread (which you can order with her) which we had with cream cheese and it was delish. After a long drive from Cape Town that plunge pool was honestly so refreshing. Once sufficiently cooled down we got a braai going. The kitchenette is simple and very user friendly. My husband and I spent our second day in Oudtshoorn which is about a 2 hour drive from The Place. We had an amazing night's sleep on both nights of our stay even got to chill out on the hammock for 2. Woke up Sunday morning to a car that wouldn't start and a puncture, just our luck. Lizelle and Joseph were so happy to help they drove my husband to Ladismith (closest town) to get his wheel repaired and brought him back safely, jump-started our car and we were on our way. Thank you so much Lizelle and Joseph, you guys and the place are so amazing we will definitely be back.

As jy moeg word vir die lewe in die stad, kom na The Place toe.

Dis werklik op 'n plaas in die middel van nêrens. Geen sein, net stilte. Pragtige natuur en uitsig vanaf die Cottage. Ons het in die Red rock cottage gebly. Het ook gaan stap op die plaas. Dis darem glad nie te ver van die dorp Ladismith af nie. Baie vriendelike gasvrou Lizelle, sy bak selfs die heerlikste Olyf en Roosmaryn brood wat sommer vuurwarm is met jou aankoms. Huis is baie goed toegerus; kaggel is heerlik vir die winter. As jy stilte soek is dit die plek.

If you get tired of city life, come to The Place.

It really is on a farm in the middle of nowhere. No signal, just silence. Beautiful nature and view from the Cottage. We stayed in the Red rock cottage. Also went for a walk on the farm. At least it's not too far from the town of Ladismith. Very friendly hostess Lizelle, she even bakes the most delicious Olive and Rosemary bread which is simply blazing hot upon your arrival. House is very well equipped; fireplace is great for winter. If you are looking for silence this is the place.

Wonderlike back-to-basics ondervinding.

The Place maak mens weer die eenvoudige dinge in die lewe geniet. Dis werklik 'n plekkie waar jy kan ontspan en net jou batterye herlaai en dit met baie min bykomstighede. Die leef, kombuis en slaap areas is mooi in een en dis wonderlik. Die voëllewe is wonderlik. Regtig waarde vir geld ondervinding. Mens moet ook van die brood bestel (ongelooflik lekker).

Great back-to-basics experience.

The Place makes you enjoy the simple things in life again. It's really a place where you can relax and just recharge your batteries and that with very few accessories. The living, kitchen and sleeping areas are beautiful in one and it's wonderful. The birdlife is wonderful. Really value for money experience. You also have to order some of the bread (incredibly delicious).

Als wat jy nodig het om af te skakel!

Ons het 'n wonderlike, reënerige naweek by The Place spandeer. Die uitsig oor die Karoo-vlaktes, reën op die sinkdak en die heerlike kaggeltjie was al wat ons nodig gehad het om af te skakel. Lizelle maak die lekkerste olyfbroodjies en is hoogs aan te beveel! Als is voldoende vir 'n naweek se verblyf.

Die tyd op die plaas en in The place was fantasties.

Daar is 'n lied wat ons as kinders gesing het: “as ek moeg word vir die lewe in die stad”, dan gaan ek na "The Place"! Luukse akkommodasie op 'n plaas waar niemand jou pla nie en waar jy sonsondergang kan geniet met iets koud in jou hand! Lizelle het ons tuis laat voel en was gretig om te help. Sy bak die beste olyf brood wat heerlik saam met biltong en botter gaan vir ‘n snack voor die braai. Ek sal beslis The Place aanbeveel vir mense wat uit die stad wil wegbreek om in stilte, rustig te kan ontspan. Dit is ook nie ver van Stilbaai nie so as mens wou kan mense vir die dag deur ry daarheen.

The time on the farm and in The place was fantastic.

There is a song we sang as children: "when I get tired of life in the city", I go to "The Place"! Luxury accommodation on a farm where no one bothers you and where you can enjoy the sunset with something cold in your hand! Lizelle made us feel at home and was eager to help. She bakes the best olive bread that goes deliciously with biltong and butter for a snack before the barbecue. I would definitely recommend The Place to people who want to get away from the city to be able to relax in silence. It is also not far from Stilbaai so if you wanted people could drive there for the day.

Wonderlike, rustige stil plek en ontspanning vir die siel.

Wat 'n heerlike ervaring. Met ons aankoms was ons vriendelik verwelkom en het sommer dadelik tuis gevoel. Die stilte en rustigheid en pragtige Karoo veld is iets om te beleef. Die heerlikste broodjie warm uit die oond het ons ingewag met ons aankoms. Ons het 'n vleisie gebraai so te sê in die veld onder die pragtige sterrehemel. Daar is ook niks mooier as 'n haantjie op die plaas wat mens wakker kraai in die oggend nie. Ons kuier was egter kort geknip aangesien my man siek geraak het. Lizelle het dadelik kom inloer en gesê dat as ons ooit weer sou kom ons 'n ekstra nag kan kom oor bly met komplimente. Ons sal beslis in die nabye toekoms weer The Place besoek. Baie dankie Lizelle!

Wonderful, quiet quiet place and relaxation for the soul.

What a wonderful experience. Upon our arrival we were warmly welcomed and felt at home right away. The silence and tranquillity of the beautiful Karoo veld quite a thing to experience. We had the most delicious sandwich, hot from the oven, awaiting us on arrival. We had a braai in the veld under the beautiful starry sky. There is also nothing more wholesome than a cockerel waking you up in the morning. However, our visit was short cut because my husband got sick. Lizelle immediately came in and said that if we ever came back we could have a complimentary extra night. We will definitely visit The Place again in the near future. Thank you very much, Lizelle!

Beelskone natuur en ideaal geleë.

Wat 'n uiterste jammerte dat ons so kort tydperk by The Place spandeer het. Maar dit is 'n lafenis vir die siel om so tussen die berge in die skone wêreld van Ladismith te kan bly. The Place is pragtig toegerus, en gerieflik. Die diens is vriendelik en nie te praat van die natuurskoon nie. Die feit dat die so ver van die hoofpad is, maak dit soveel meer aanloklik, want 'n mens word gedwing om te konsentreer op wat die aarde vir mens te offer het. Baie dankie dat julle die pragtige plek met ons deel.

What a pity our stay at The Place was so short. Spending time in the mountains and the picturesque Ladismith surrounds was R&R for the soul. The place is beautifully equipped and comfortable. Friendly service not to mention the stunning nature. The fact that it is so far from the main road is wonderful because you are forced to focus on what Mother Nature has to offer. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful place with us.

Karoo rus en vrede na 'n lang pad!

Ons was aangenaam verras deur die gerief en gemak van die Studio. Die afsondering, die stilte en die pragtige sterrenag het ons siele goed gedoen. Ek sal dit aanbeveel, nie net vir oorslaap op die langpad nie, maar sommer vir 'n hele naweek of langnaweek wegbreek.

Baie rustig met plaasatmosfeer.

Baie netjiese en goed toegeruste "studio" woonstel. Mens kan lekker langs die rivier en in die veld gaan stap, en daar is selfs 'n klein houtstofie om die eenheid lekker warm te maak op baie koue aande. Die klein stukkie grondpad (+- 3 km) na die plaas van die hoofpad af is begaanbaar maar moet versigtig op gery word met 'n gewone motor.

Very relaxing with a farm atmosphere.

Very neat and well equipped studio apartment. One can wander along the river and through the veld, and there is even a small wood burning stove to make the nit nice and snug on those chilly evenings. The short gravel road (+- 3 km) to the farm from the main road is navigable, but has to be driven with care with a normal vehicle.

Rus vir jou siel.

Dit was effens duur as mens die vreeslike klomp vlieë in ag neem. Vir daar die bedrag (R600 per nag) sal mens graag wil sien dat daar sifdeure aangebring word. Lizelle en haar familie is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die plekkie was mooi netjies en skoon behalwe vir die vlieë. Die ligging van die woonstel was na ons mening net te na aan die hoofopstal - alhoewel dit baie stil is, voel mens maar nie privaat nie. Die uitsig oor die veld en die berge was regtig iets spesiaal. Ons het glad nie gevoel dat ons veiligheid bedreig word nie. Met die hitte het ons met die agterdeur oop geslaap omdat die enigste venster in die badkamer is. Die Olyfbrood wat deur Lizelle gebak word, is heerlik en vars. Sal dit definitief aanbeveel.

Rest for your soul.

It was a bit expensive considering the terrible amount of flies. For the amount (R600 per night) one would like to see screen doors installed. Lizelle and her family are very friendly and helpful. The place was pretty neat and clean except for the flies. The location of the apartment was just too close to the main house in our opinion - although it is very quiet, you don't feel private. The view over the field and the mountains was really something special. We did not feel that our safety was threatened at all. With the heat, we slept with the back door open because the only window is in the bathroom. The Olive Bread baked by Lizelle is delicious and fresh. Would definitely recommend it.

Rustige wegbreeknaweek.

The Place is in 'n baie goeie toestand, die koppie reg langs die huis is fantasties om 'n 'sundowner' te gaan drink. Die staproetes is 'n bietjie ver met klein kinders. Die area was toe ons daar was in September 2017 baie droog en jy kan sien die plase in die areas kry swaar. Ondersteun die mense waar jy kan en gebruik so min as moontlik water. Drink meer bier.

The Place is in very good condition, the hill right next to the house is fantastic for a sundowner. The hiking trails are a bit far with small children. The area was very dry when we were there in September 2017 and you can see the farms in the areas are suffering. Support the people where you can and use as little water as possible. Drink more beer.

Baie rustige plek om te ontspan!

Goed ingerigte verblyfplek vir 4 persone. Leefarea bietjie klein vir 8 persone. Netjies en goed ingerigte kombuis en badkamers. Vir baie koue weer is die beddegoed 'n bietjie aan die skraps kant. Vir 'n wegbreek en opsoek na stilte, sal ons die plek enige tyd aanbeveel! Die varsgebakte olyf- en roosmarynbroodjie was 'n heerlike bonus met ons aankoms die aand, daar. Het ook heerlike vars organiese spinasie, rocket en eiers daar gekoop!

'n Onvergeetlike naweek omring deur asemrowende landskap.

Ons kuier by Red Rock Cottages was uit die boonste rakke. Die huis is pragtig, simplisties en stylvol. Die stilte en pragtige plaas-staproetes en swem in die rivier is onbeskryflik lekker gewees! Lizelle het ons vriendelik verwelkom en haar tuisgemaakte brood is iets om oor huistoe te skryf. Ons het elke oomblik van ons kuiertjie geniet en boonop bietjie reën vir die Karoo saam gebring.

The place to go for peace and quiet. No TV, no motor cars, just the sweet sound of nature!

My wife and I wanted to find a place of serenity away from all the hustle and bustle. We found this at "The Place." It was so peaceful and safe. When we arrived we were greeted by Lizelle and treated to a delicious home baked loaf of olive and rosemary bread, what a lovely gesture! The Place is for those wanting to escape into nature with walks along the river, birding , swimming, chilling out and enjoy the symphony of the frogs at night. We will go back some day!
