“Spacious accommodation in the countryside.”
+This is a lovely farmhouse in a wonderful setting, mountains behind and Cape fynbos vegetation in the fields below the house. A lovely big veranda with good BBQ facilities, ideal for enjoying that early morning cup of tea watching the sun rise or enjoying a sundowner after a day's sightseeing. Excellent walking with the opportunity seeing game including eland, zebra, ostriches and other animals. The house is extensive and very comfortable. Large open-plan lounge cum kitchen cum dining room. The kitchen has all you need for self catering. Local attractions include Meiringspoort and Biviaanskloof, both with magnificent rock formations folded and contorted by tectonic activity associated with the breakup of Gondwanaland. If you feel adventurous, you can do a day trip up Meiringspoort, cut across to Prince Albert and then head back via the Swartberg pass. There are two lovely back roads (both gravel) that you can take from the road that leads from the Cango caves to Oudtshoorn which cut across towards De Rust. This place is a real gem if you like the open countryside far from the hustle and bustle of the town.
−All good!

“The comfortable house is supplied with everything you might need especially plenty of firewood.”
−We arrived in the evening and couldn't see how to open the gate. The lock was problematic. There was no cell phone signal at the time although the cell number was displayed. This is the only aspect that needs revisiting.

“A wonderful, relaxing stay in a beautiful spot in nature - heaven!”
+I loved the decor, the space, the hot tub and the wild animals. It was wonderful to sit on the verandah and see giraffe, eland and springbok! The house was very well equipped, and the hiking trail clearly marked. The wood-fired hot tub was so relaxing. The proprietor was very responsive and even couriered back an item I forgot at the guest house.
−It's a small niggle, but I would love a bigger bed - like a king sized. There is plenty of room and it would add a great deal to the enjoyment of the experience. Other than that, I can't really think of anything.

“A true hidden gem in the Karoo! Our stay was absolutely amazing!”
+A true hidden gem in the Karoo! Our stay was absolutely amazing,if anything, it was even better than the photos. It was the perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy the peace and quiet. The house had everything we needed and more, with every comfort thoughtfully provided. The bedding was incredibly comfortable, and the entire house was spotless. Everything so tasteful! Our kids had the best time playing outside and spent hours soaking in the hot tub. It was wonderful to see them enjoying the open space while we could truly switch off and relax. This place is truly a little piece of gold in the heart of the Karoo. We can’t wait to come back!

“Upmarket home with everything you need on serene mountainside game farm.”
+This is a beautiful upmarket home on a private game farm. Everything is perfect. The bed is super comfortable, high-quality linen, underfloor heating, electric blanket, candles and bath salts. Best rental I have ever had. Would rate 20/10 if I could. The giraffes walked right next to the house while I was sitting on the verandah in the morning -heaven!
−Everything is better than perfect. The hosts are also super helpful.

“Fantastic stay”
+It has all the luxury comforts and the surrounding is fabulous and serene.
−We would have been better prepared had there been a specific set of guidelines on what to do in case Eskom shut down. The electricity went off and we were in absolute darkness with no connectivity from 7pm to 7:30am. The rechargeable lights had not been charged.
