Went home alone in the Worker House for 3 days and was surprised with everything. A lovely large unit with furniture, linen, cutlery and appliances of the highest quality. Lived like a king and admired the natural beauty. A wonderful place to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. Debbie welcomed me warmly and explained everything well and also kept me informed of everything via WhatsApp. WiFi reception was excellent!

Outstanding. Definitely staying again - then more than a night.
I travel frequently and throughout South Africa and stay overnight at various guesthouses and holiday resorts. Darkenskraal, as far as excellent accommodation, location, cleanliness, equipment in the unit and general stay experience is concerned, is of the highest quality. I cannot but congratulate the owners and manager from the bottom of my heart for the outstanding and very high quality, as far as overnight/accommodation is concerned, offered to guests. The high-quality equipment in the kitchen, the high-quality bedding, the layout of the accommodation, the special layout of the unit inside and out, and then the beautiful scenery, means that I will definitely stay again and bring my family and relatives too . Top quality and at least 5 star. Don't miss this gem.

Value for money, beautiful location and extremely tidy home.
Varkenskraal was the last stay of our annual leave and we wanted to drive the Swartberg Pass and also visit De Rust and Prince Albert as part of our Southern Cape holiday. We were very kindly welcomed by the hostess. She went out of her way to make sure on a daily basis that everything was in order and that we didn't need anything. The Werkershuis is beautifully and tastefully equipped with everything you need. The location is perfect and close to both bg. towns. Definitely a well cared for gem and accommodation choice on Route 62.

Peaceful relaxation amidst the beautiful scenery. Heads and mountains everywhere.
We have stayed in a few places in the Karoo in recent weeks, and put Varkenskraal at the top of our list! Debbie and her team do an excellent job of keeping the Feedlot neat and impeccably clean. Best we have ever come across. The equipment in the house, especially in the kitchen, is of a very high quality and a pleasure to use. The place is nicely equipped and it's really pleasant to stay there. Our four nights were actually too short! Nicely located near De Rust where we enjoyed great breakfast and/or coffee three times at Ray's Coffee Shop. We will definitely be returning to the Foerkraal on Pigskraal!

Debbie was once again an excellent hostess and communicated with us all the time before and during our visit. She is truly an asset to Verkenskraal! The river was in flood and she was waiting for us to see that we got through safely. This is definitely one of our favorite destinations!

The little house, Voerkraal, is excellently planned and equipped, very neat and feels like a farm.
We were very warmly welcomed at Porkenskraal by Debbie. Our dog was just as warmly welcomed and the hiking trails and farm activities make you feel like you are part of the farm. Lovely, cuddly bed linen and electric blankets, fireplace and braai wood, kitchen equipped with everything you need. View is fantastic! A warm welcome and inquiries were dealt with quickly and professionally.

Even though Varlenskraal is located right next to the N12, one cannot see the road from the house. Can hear heavy vehicles passing outside, but not bother inside. Debbie gave me a warm welcome. House newly done, beautifully neat and well planned. Lovely stay and ideal accommodation for a couple with two children, or a single traveler with a dog, like me.

It's not just a pretty picture, it's really pretty! Accommodation is of high quality and with its idyllic location at the foot of Meiringspoort, definitely worth those extra bucks! A special thank you to hostess Debbie for her friendly welcome. Her bubbling enthusiasm for this beautiful farm is contagious! By staying here, we could see the port properly, get to know its 25 streams and their names and where they come from, get our feet/body wet at a waterfall. Actually, you have to stay at least 2 nights at Varkenskraal so that you can have a quiet barbecue in the evening, look out over the farm's vineyards and see how the setting sun makes the beautiful rock formations glow!

The tranquility of the farm atmosphere was unbeatable!
Verkenskraal was at the end of our 10 day trip by motorcycle and was by far the highlight, in terms of accommodation and hospitality! Our friendly hostess, Debbie, went out of her way to make our stay even more enjoyable. Upon our arrival we immediately decided to stay an extra night. The wine is delicious and we found a complementary bottle of Chenin Blanc in the fridge. In the scorching Klein Karoo heat, swimming in the farm pond was just what one needed! (How about a jetty in the dam, Pieter?) Porkenskraal, with Debbie as an incredible hostess, is a Little Karoo gem! We recommend a visit to you for everyone. You get 6 stars from us!

We recently spent the night at Varkenskraal and really enjoyed it. The two bedroom/bathroom cottage was very comfortable with all the accessories for a comfortable experience. We were kindly received on the farm and also received a complimentary bottle of Porkenskraal wine. Feel free to read the interesting origin of Meiringspoort on the coffee table. We will definitely use Verkenskraal again as the opportunity arises.

Quiet, peaceful, beautiful.
We were in Die Werkershuisie. The other unit was already booked. The Werkershuisie's braai was at the back of the cottage on its own large covered patio against the woods. The other unit's braai is at the front on the stoep. The larger unit also has a large round braai as part of the porch which is more of a socializing area, although there is also a built-in braai on the side of the front porch. The larger unit's braai makes a slight wind shelter if the wind were to blow from that side. The Werkershuisie's front porch is open. Both units' beautiful view over the vineyards and mountains is equally good. The two houses are very private and you don't hear or see your neighbours. What impressed us the most was the cleanliness and quality of all the furniture and equipment. The restoration of the cottage has been superbly done with a high standard of craftsmanship, especially the woodwork. Every room's windows have roman blinds and this is usually problematic in most places and we hate it. However, those who were in the Worker's House worked especially smoothly and were really obviously neat. There were only two of us, and nothing was cramped. The bed and bedding were excellent. We only asked that the feather pillows should be replaced with regular anti-allergic pillows in the future as I am severely allergic to any form of feathers. Fortunately, we have our own pillows that we always ride around with. To sum it up, it's quality accommodation. You feel good when you've unpacked and everything falls into place, especially after the first cup of coffee and biscuit waiting for you on the table. It's now our future 'place' if we go in that direction again.

One great glory!
Beautiful, neat, clean and everything you need is in the beautiful house. We enjoyed every moment. Lovely indoor fireplace that we enjoyed until late at night. The showers are to be dreamed of ─ big enough for an entire rugby team. The large bed was cozy as well as the 2 small beds. However, there is only one small fault with the single beds: the mattress is too big and Gertjie almost fell out of bed twice when she wanted to turn over because the mattress sagged. The board under the mattress should be the same size as the mattress. Thank you very much, we had a wonderful time also with the farm foreman and his beautiful little daughter. Can really recommend the place in the mountains.

Nice stay on a hidden gem in Meiringspoort.
We spent the night at Varkenskraal. The cottage is very neat and clean, with an air conditioner that works well and a beautiful view of the farm that takes its name from pig lilies. The reception was friendly and there are good visiting facilities which we could not use due to the short stay.

Ons Wi-Fi kom van 'n rits toringtjies bo-op die berge en word deur sonkrag aangedryf, kan dus wisselvallig wees.

View of dreams.
Varkenskraal surprised us a lot. The view from the braai area at the big house is fantastic. These are perhaps the best equipped cottages I have ever stayed in. There is literally nothing missing. People have thought of everything and the price is so fair that one cannot overlook it. We will definitely stay there again. It was so relaxing just to sit and socialise around the big fire and even drink some of Varkenskraal's own wine.
