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.

We love the Karoo and this place is really special. So many open windows overlooking the Karoo plains. Private. Tidy. You only see mountains and bushes for miles. Can walk around. Nice barbecue. 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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
