Rustig, veilig en heerlik gebly!

Heerlik gebly in 'n gemoderniseerde plaashuis. Alles gehad wat ons nodig het. Bekoorlike plaas in die Karoo. Sal dit vir seker aanbeveel.

Heerlik gekuier in 'n veilige omgewing. Die honde en meerkat wat kom hallo sê en saam kuier was 'n bonus. Judy is 'n gasvrou duisend. Sal julle definitief weer ondersteun.

Dit was okay, maar ongelukkig geen Karoo-ervaring nie.

Die kamer was lekker groot, beddens gemaklik en die linne skoon en netjies. Die badkamerdeur kon nie toemaak nie. Die waterdruk was baie laag en tydens beurtkrag was daar geen water nie, en die toilet kon dus nie spoel nie.

It was okay, but unfortunately no Karoo experience.

The room was nice and big, the beds comfortable and the linen clean and tidy. The bathroom door could not close. The water pressure was very low and during load shedding there was no water, so the toilet could not flush.

Ons het oorgeslaap na 'n vakansie in die Suid-Kaap.

Teleurstellend dat die klein braai-area uitkyk op 'n baksteenmuur. Ons slaap graag op 'n Karooplaas oor om die rykdom van die unieke natuur te beleef. Hoe teleurstellend. Die kamers was netjies en skoon.

Van aankoms tot vertrek was dit 'n fantastiese ervaring. Vriendelike diens en wonderlike atmosfeer.

Die gasvrou het uit haar pad gegaan om die verblyf so onvergeetlik moontlik te maak met haar vriendelike diens. Braaipakkies was op aanvraag beskikbaar, en die ontbyt was heerlik. Baie dankie vir die wonderlike tyd daar. O ja, die meerkatte was 'n addisionele, onverwagte bonus. Te skattig.

Oornag in vrede met gemak.

Dis n lieflike oornagplekkie. Dis 'n werkende plaas so die plaas diere en geluide om jou is asemrowend mooi. Die grondpad is baie mooi en mens kan enige iets daarop sleep. Daar is baie parkering dus kan mens van 'n karavaan tot 'n sleepwa veilig parkeer saam met jou voertuig. Die kamers is van die grootstes wat ek nog gesien het by 'n gastehuis. Alles is netjies skoon en alles wat mens nodig het is daar. Tot die stort het ordentelik gewerk en lekker hard gespuit, dis verseker. Alles is net mooi en lekker en Judy het uit haar pad gegaan om ons gemaklik te voel. Dis 'n werkende plaas so daar is skape, perde en allerhande geveerde soorte vir kinders om na te kyk. Lieflike oornagplek dis verseker. Dis net 30 km van Colesberg af so mens is vinnig weer op die hoofpad. Baie lekker stop gewees.

Overnight in peace with ease.

It's a lovely place to stay the night. It's a working farm so the farm animals and sounds around you are breathtakingly beautiful. The dirt road is very nice and you can drag anything on it. There is plenty of parking, so you can safely park from a caravan to a trailer with your vehicle. The rooms are some of the largest I have ever seen at a guest house. Everything is neat and clean and everything you need is there. Until the shower worked decently and sprayed nice and hard, that's for sure. Everything is just beautiful and nice and Judy went out of her way to make us feel comfortable. It's a working farm so there are sheep, horses and all kinds of feathered species for children to look at. Lovely place to stay overnight that's for sure. It's only 30 km from Colesberg so you're quickly back on the main road. It was a very nice stop.

Morning David, my apologies for the pool.
I have been struggling with it for the entire year and as you could see, it has got the best of me.
Hopefully I will eventually win and it will be sparking again. The quoted tariff on the site is for bed only as it says for each room. I am sorry if you thought it was included. These days, very few people book breakfast but if they ask for it, I do it for an extra fee.
Have a happy Easter.
Kind regards, Judy.

Adequate but off route.

The location says Colesberg but this is 30 km outside Colesberg, it would be good to know this before hand as the area is very remote on a farm if you arrive late visibility is not good, and you would need to prepare your own food etc as its not near any shops you would need to drive back to Colesberg which is the nearest town.

Loved the Karoo experience.

The rooms are cozy and well-serviced, and the shared kitchen/dining area lovely. Enjoying the sunset view from our stoep (some rooms face into a courtyard, but we were in front-facing rooms) and going for a walk on the farm the next morning made the stay unforgettable. The owner made us feel like old friends. We will definitely be back.

Dear Jan,
Thank you for your comments. My apologies for the DStv, for some reason DStv was not sending me signal which I rectified the following morning. Unfortunately, I can't do much about the air conditioner as at present I cannot afford a built-in air-con, my apologies that it was too noisy. I hope that you were able to get some comfortable and quiet sleep. I hope you had a wonderful holiday and that 2022 is a fabulous year for you.
Best regards,
Judy Rous

Baie rustig, skoon en smaaklik gemeubileer.

Die kothuis was ruim en goed toegerus met alles wat mens kan benodig. Die plaasatmosfeer is rustig en ek kon stap waar ek wou. Die perde waarmee hulle teel is fantasties.

Vir 'n selfsorg eenheid is die Kudu Cottage maar karig toegerus.

Dit is ietwat vleiend om hierdie huisie 'n selfsorg eenheid te noem, gegewe dat daar nie eers 'n kombuiswasbak is nie, wat nog van 'n klein kombuisie. Die braaigeriewe is baie goed maar was vuil. Die huisie was ruim en gemaklik, en die badkamer voldoende. Die plek kort egter bietjie afronding en ek sal dit nie weer besoek nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

For a self-catering unit, the Kudu Cottage is sparsely equipped.

It's somewhat flattering to call this cottage a self-catering unit, given that there isn't even a kitchen sink, let alone a small kitchen. The braai facilities are very good but were dirty. The cottage was spacious and comfortable, and the bathroom adequate. However, the place needs some finishing touches and I will not visit again.

Rustig, skoon, netjies en vriendelike diens

Die grondpad was glad nie 'n probleem nie. Ons is vriendelik ontvang, kamers was netjies en skoon. Ons het braaipakkies bestel, is voorsien van soveel hout as wat ons nodig gehad het en het ook die heerlikste slaaie gekry. Die gasvrou het lekker gesels en ons kon 'n bietjie rondstap op die plaas. Ons het lekker ontbyt genuttig. Ons gaan beslis weer hier kuier.

The dirt road was not a problem at all. We were received kindly, rooms were neat and clean.

We enjoyed a nice breakfast. We will definitely visit here again.

Waarde vir geld, jy kry vir wat jy betaal.

Ons wou graag in Colesberg oorgeslaap het maar Wolwefontein is 25 minute se ry buite Colesberg. Ons het Wolwefontein gebruik as 'n halfpadstop op pad terug van vakansie. Die eenheid wat ons in gebly het was ruim met 'n lekker groot dubbelbed. Die beddegoed was skoon en netjies. Die res van die huisie was 'okay' met ou gebreekte en verweerde meubels. Die huisie is geleë op 'n plaas, so daar is honde, hoenders, meerkatte, perde ens. wat rondloop, so dis fantasties vir kinders, maar verwag maar goggas ens. Vir wat jy betaal, kry jy 'n goeie nag se rus. Die ontvangsdame en haar dogter was vriendelik en het ons mooi gehelp met enige navrae wat ons gehad het. Ontbyt was ook heel gemiddeld.

Value for money, you get what you pay for.

We would have liked to have stayed overnight in Colesberg but Wolwefontein is a 25 minute drive outside Colesberg. We used Wolwefontein as a half way stop on the way back from holiday. The unit we stayed in was spacious with a nice big double bed. The bedding was clean and tidy. The rest of the cottage was 'okay' with old broken and weathered furniture. The cottage is located on a farm, so there are dogs, chickens, meerkats, horses etc. walking around, so it's great for kids, but expect bugs etc. For what you pay, you get a good night's rest. The receptionist and her daughter were friendly and helped us with any queries we had. Breakfast was also very average.
