Had a great time at Brinksfontein! Beautiful surroundings and house in the Karoo. Beautiful old stone house is well equipped with everything needed and more! Had a great time and barbecued on the stoep and enjoyed the hottub hole out! Received us with delicious warm home-baked bread and warm hospitality. It was also nice that our friends' dogs were welcome. Would really recommend Brinksfontein to people who like the Karoo and see a chance for the long dirt road (which by the way is not in bad condition at all).

Baie lekker gekuier op Brinksfontein! Pragtige omgewing en huis in die Karoo. Mooi ou kliphuis is goed toegerus met alles wat nodig is en nog meer! Het heerlik gekuier en gebraai op die stoep en het die hottub gate uit geniet! Het ons met 'n heerlike warm tuisgebakte brood en hartlike gasvryheid ontvang. Was ook lekker dat ons vriende se honde welkom was. Sal Brinksfontein regtig aanbeveel vir mense wat hou van die Karoo en kans sien vir die lang grondpad (wat terloops glad nie in 'n sleg toestand is nie).

Peaceful, balm for the soul! Our hostess was very welcoming with a home-baked plaasbrood and some of the nicest peach jam! We truly loved everything about it. A long drive from CT, so in our opinion, not for only a weekend, but so very worth it. We cycled, walked, spent hours in the very clean and welcoming cold (or hot if you chose) splash pool. Comfortable beds, bedding pristinely clean and fresh. The photos do not do this 'piece of heaven' justice. There is WiFi and it worked well until the services were down in the entire area. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

The Karoo at its magnificent best. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to delay our trip by a month. This was a blessing in disguise. The water damage caused by the recent heavy rains was more than made up for by the abundant flora in bloom. The vast expanse of Karoo solitude and beauty around us was breathtaking. There was also so much landscape to explore. This is definitely on our list of places worthy of a second visit.

The Karoo as we know it. Here you can just be yourself. Delicious! Clean air, plenty to do, great facilities and just a place where you can be close to nature and your Creator. Everyone could do with such a getaway event. Thanks for the treat!

Die Karoo soos ons dit ken. Hier kan jy maar net jouself wees. Héérlik! Skoon lug, genoeg om te doen, heerlike geriewe en sommer net 'n plekkie waar jy naby die natuur en jou Skepper kan wees. Almal sal kan doen met so 'n wegbreek-geleentheid. Dankie vir die bederf!

The Karoo silence lets you find yourself again. We were welcomed in the area with the most beautiful Karoo wildflowers that don't have to stand behind the Namaqualand flowers at all! Thank you, Rae, for allowing us and our four-legged child to enjoy Brinksfontein with everything we needed! That home-baked bun and jam you welcomed us with is definitely a winner. The Karoo once again stole our hearts, especially when we were greeted with snow on the morning of our departure (still regretting that we couldn't stay for another nap). We have already recommended Brinksfontein to a few families. Until next time.

Die Karoo-stilte laat jou jouself weer vind. Ons is in die omgewing verwelkom met die mooiste Karoo-veldblomme wat glad nie vir die Namakwalandse blomme hoef terug te staan nie! Dankie, Rae, dat ons en ons viervoetkind, Brinksfontein, met als wat ons nodig gehad het, kon geniet! Daai tuisgebakte broodjie en konfyt waarmee jy ons verwelkom het, is beslis 'n wenner. Die Karoo het weereens ons harte gesteel, veral toe ons die oggend van ons vertrek met sneeu begroet is (nou nog spyt dat ons nie nog 'n slapie kon bly nie). Ons het Brinksfontein reeds vir 'n paar gesinne aanbeveel. Tot weersiens.

Silence, stars, fresh air. What more could you ask for? Rae Myburgh is an excellent hostess who welcomed us with fresh farm bread and apricot jam. Brinksfontein stole our heart in the 5 days we were there. Kilometers away from people, great walking/mountain climbing adventures (just pack decent walking shoes, sneakers can work too), you see the most beautiful plant smell and different succulents true to the area. Beautiful walls around us where there are treasures lying around to pick up. The Brink house was so cozy and beautiful. Every night we made a fire inside and sat in front of the fireplace drinking sweet wine. Every morning and evening you can enjoy a delicious shower that gives hot water with gas. The cottage has solar power and offers two power points for the fridge and a cute ice machine. Ladies can enjoy drying their hair in the winter. No TV, but you don't have enough! There is Wi-Fi. Enjoy the silence away from the city, go for a walk, or read a good book in the living room where the morning sun wakes you up. We slept great with warm bedding and warm blankets. Outside you can sit and barbecue and even see stars that you can't see so beautifully anywhere else. The outdoor swimming pool can be heated and in winter you can sit nice and warm with a glass of wine. Our two Schnauzers were very welcome there, the farm is fenced. They really enjoyed the steps of 8-10km when you walk out of the gate. Don't worry about wood — Rae provides bags and bags! Bring all the food and drinks you need. You can't drive to "Spar" fast! We are going to go every June holiday now so no one else has to book! Just kidding, but still!

Stilte, sterre, vars lug. Waarvoor meer kan jy vra? Rae Myburgh is 'n uitstekende gasvrou wat ons verwelkom het met vars plaasbrood en appelkooskonfyt. Brinksfontein het ons hart gesteel in die 5 dae wat ons daar was. Kilometers ver van mense, heerlike stap/bergklim avonture (pak net ordentlike stapskoene in, tekkies kan ook werk), jy sien die mooiste planteruik en verskillende vetplante eg aan die area. Pragtige murasies rondom ons waar daar skatte rondlê om op te tel. Die Brinkshuisie was so knus en pragtig. Ons het elke aand 'n vuurtjie binne gemaak en lekker voor die kagel gesit en soetwyn gedrink. Elke oggend en aand kan jy 'n heerlike stort geniet wat met gas warm water gee. Die huisie het sonkrag en bied twee krag punte vir die yskas en 'n oulike ysmasjien. Dames kan heerlik hul hare droog maak in die winter. Geen TV nie, maar jy het dit nie noig nie! Daar is WiFi. Geniet die stilte weg van die stad, gaan stap, of lees 'n goeie boek in die sitkamer waar die oggendson jou wakker maak. Ons het heerlike geslaap met warm beddegoed en warm komberse. Buite kan jy lekker sit en braai en selfs sterre sien wat jy nie erens anders so mooi kan sien nie. Die buite-swembadjie kan gestook word en in die winter kan jy lekker warm sit met 'n glasie wyn. Ons twee Schnauzers was baie welkom daar, die plaas is omhein. Hulle het die stappe van 8-10km vreeslik geniet as jy uit die hek loop. Moet nie bekommer oor hout — Rae voorsien sakke en sakke! Bring alle kosse en dranke wat jy benodig. Jy kan nie vinnig "Spar" toe ry nie! Ons gaan sommer nou elke Junie-vakansie gaan so iemand anders moet nie boek nie! Grap net, maar nogsteeeds!

We had a great time. The place has everything you need. Absolutely friendly hostess. Rae greeted us with homemade bread It was amazing! What a gem! We loved every moment. We had a great relaxing stay. The house was well equipped and the inside and outside braai areas make it a great stay all year round. The wood-fired tub was a real treat in the icy cold weather once we got it warm enough (tip: start the fire a few hours before depending on how hot you want it, it doesn't take that much wood to warm up). Amazing accommodation with everything needed for a lovely peaceful and private getaway. We will definitely see you again.

Tranquility for the soul. The Murderer Karoo climbs deep into your soul and heart. You will definitely want to return again. Beautiful, unspoilt landscape, beautiful nature and tranquility. The house was nicely rested and there is everything you need. We slept nice and warm and built a fireplace all day. Beautiful scenery and bliss for the soul. Thanks to Rae for the delicious freshly baked bread, jam and the delicious peasant recipe!

Rustigheid vir die siel. Die Moordenaarskaroo klim diep in jou siel en hart in. Jy sal vir seker weer wil terugkeer. Pragtige, ongerepte landskap, mooi natuur en rustigheid. Die huis was lekker uitgerus en daar is alles wat jy benodig. Ons het lekker warm geslaap en heeldag kaggel gemaak. Pragtige natuurskoon en saligheid vir die siel. Dankie aan Rae vir die lekker varsgebakte broodjie, konfyt en die lekker boeresepie!
