Thank you so much, Rachel! It was wonderful that your son also enjoyed the Karoo adventure and interesting field paths so much. Hope you will visit the Tankwa and Onder-Karoo again. Greetings, Hanlie

Baie dankie, Rachel! Dit was wonderlik dat julle seun ook die Karoo-avontuur en interessante veldpaadjies so geniet het. Hoop dat julle weer in die Tankwa en Onder-Karoo sal kom kuier. Groete, Hanlie

The perfect getaway and a place to reset and unwind. What a lovely escape! The cottage is so quaint and cosy and has everything you need to be warm and comfy. The photos do not do this cottage justice! Beautiful walks, lovely swims in icy water. Felt like a real reset. The hosts are so welcoming and helpful, they even took us on a long walk on Sunday to find some pools to swim in. The host was also great at helping us with all the things to do in Sutherland. We want to come back!

Thank you for your kind words, Amanda! It was a privilege to have spent time with such a delightful family. Your adventurous spirit and enthusiasm are truly admirable. I hope Sutherland will offer you some snow next time!

Dankie vir jou mooi woorde, Amanda! Dit was 'n voorreg om tyd saam met so 'n aangename gesin deur te bring. Jou avontuurlustige gees en entoesiasme is werklik bewonderenswaardig. Ek hoop Sutherland bied jou volgende keer sneeu!

Soul enriching and now stress free - until we have to go again. Words fail to describe an enjoyable time. There is everything one needs and the different glasses (which are normally neglected) were enough for the normal drinks. Everything that one would normally need has been thought of. All this contributed to a wonderful time at Die Skooltjie. The information about the history of Die Skooltjie was a great point of conversation. The friendliness compliments the Karoo. The quiet and the beautiful cannot be emphasized enough. This is a must visit place!

Sielsverrykend en nou ontslae van stres - tot ons weer moet gaan. Woorde ontbreek om 'n genotvolle tyd te beskryf. Daar is alles wat mens nodig het en die verskillende glase (wat normaalweg afgeskeep word) was genoeg vir die normale dranksoorte. Daar is aan alles gedink wat mens normaalweg sal benodig. Dit alles het bygedra tot 'n wonderlike tyd by die Die Skooltjie. Die inligting oor die geskiedenis van die Die Skooltjie was 'n heerlike gesprekspunt. Die vriendelikheid komplimenteer die Karoo. Die stilte en die mooi kan nie genoeg beklemtoon word nie. Dit is 'n plek wat mens moet besoek!

Thank you very much, Sorina, it was good to see how you relax, rest, make a nice fire, take trips to town, and just enjoy the stars and Karoo. It has been a privilege to get to know you better, my daughters handsome riding coach and her devoted mother. Hope to see you next time in the snow!

Baie dankie, Sorina, dit was goed om te sien hoe julle ontspan, rus, lekker vuur maak, uitstappies dorp toe onderneem, en sommer net die sterre en Karoo geniet. Dit was 'n voorreg om julle beter te leer ken, my dogters se knap perdry-afrigter en haar toegeweide ma. Hoop om julle volgende keer in die sneeu te kan ontvang!

Thank you very much, Maryna, and it was so lovely to meet all 4 Meyers! You were the most comfortable guests all hanging out together in the place when the dust storms raged! Hope to receive you again when you tour the Karoo.

Baie dankie, Maryna, en dit was so heerlik om al 4 Meyers te ontmoet! Julle was die gemaklikste gaste almal saam kuier-kuier in die plekkie toe die stofstorms woed! Hoop om julle weer by ons te ontvang as julle in die Karoo toer.

Tranquil, peaceful and a place to wind down. Die Skooltjie is such a fantastic little gem of a place. Loved the wood burning oven and scenery. Thank you Hanlie and Thys for a great little cottage for the two days we spent there. Thank you Thys for the directions to go on the "Ouberg pass" it was absolutely worth it. We will see you again one day when we come down to explore more of the fabulous Tankwa.

Thank you very much, Albertus! We look forward to your next visit - then hopefully the children will still be willing to come along to the pristine, quiet karoo! The unlimited Wi-Fi is sure to fuel enthusiasm. You are such a beautiful family! Greetings, Hanlie

Baie dankie, Albertus! Ons sien uit na jul volgende besoek - dan sal die kinders hopelik nog bereid wees om saam te kom na die ongerepte, stil karoo! Die onbeperkte Wi-Fi sal seker entoesiasme aanhelp. Julle is so 'n pragtige gesin! Groete, Hanlie

Great, if you want to rest and switch off. Although it was cold, wet and snowy, we enjoyed our holes out. The coal stove burned all day. It was a privilege to experience the history of the Heyns family and The School. Thys and Hanlie's hospitality, especially with the home-baked bun and Lena who only brings wood. We didn't even get to the farm with its beautiful scenery. Will definitely have to go back.

Pragtig, as jy wil gaan rus en afskakel. Alhoewel dit koud, nat en gesneeu het, het ons ons gate uit geniet. Die koolstoof het die heeldag gebrand. Dit was 'n voorreg om die geskiedenis van die Heyns familie en Die Skooltjie te ervaar. Thys en Hanlie se gasvryheid, veral met die tuisgebakte broodjie en Lena wat net hout aandra. Ons het nie eers op die plaas met sy pragige natuurskoon uitgekom nie. Sal beslis moet teruggaan.

The remoteness is incredible, and yet all the luxuries are there. We had a wonderful long-weekend stay, even getting engaged under the lone kokerboom on the hilltop. Thys and Hanlie were such warm and welcoming hosts, happy to help with directions and recommendations, and firewood to counter the evening chill. They have a wealth of knowledge about the farm and surrounding areas, and appear happy and eager to share the space and the experience. The location is perfect. Far enough off the beaten track, yet accessible by car and equipped with everything you could ask for.

Dear Michael It was such a privilege to have you with us, since you were adventurous yet could appreciate the simplicity and vastness of our Onder-karoo area. I whish you and your fiancê a happy life together and hope to see you again soon! Regards Hanlie

Liewe Michael Dit was so 'n voorreg om jou by ons te hê, aangesien jy avontuurlustig was en tog die eenvoud en uitgestrektheid van ons Onder-karoo area kon waardeer. Ek wens jou en jou verloofde 'n gelukkige lewe saam en hoop om julle gou weer te sien! Groete Hanlie

Quiet, safe, tidy, wonderfully secluded. Hanlie and Thys' farm is wonderfully secluded, but accessible from Sutherland's road. Great cycling route to the original homestead on the farm, nice walking route. We had a wonderful rest. Hanlie and Thys are comfortable and friendly hosts. The cottage is filled with history. Everything is there, down to enough blankets for the winter cold. Well equipped with solar power and fantastic coal stove for heat. Have a great time!

Rustig, veilig, netjies, heerlik afgesonder. Hanlie en Thys se plaas is heerlik afgesonder, maar toeganklik vanaf Sutherland se pad. Great fietsryroete na oorspronlike opstalmurasie op plaas, lekker staproete. Ons het heerlik gerus. Hanlie en Thys is gemaklike en vriendelike gashere. Die huisie is gevul met geskiedenis. Alles is daar, tot genoeg komberse vir die winterkoue. Goed toegerus met sonkrag en fantastiese koolstoof vir hitte. Heerlik gekuier!
