We didn't concentrate well and ended up on a long detour, at least we enjoyed the surroundings. We were received very kindly and our hostess brought us boiling water for tea as there was load shedding. We would like to visit there again, but will then spend 2 nights.

Very nice stay.
The house is very cute on one side with a braai area. We ordered dinner for R75 pp and it was delicious. We traveled with a Nissan Xtrail so the road was very easy, but if you come with a flat car it might not work. There is another way into the farm, so it may require better work beforehand.

We didn't spend much time there but it was a pleasant experience and I will definitely recommend the place.

Very comfy, attentive hosts, safe.
Beautiful farm. The heaters and electric blankets were already switched on when we arrived. A couple with one you child shold find the lower level comfy. Teenagers can stay in the loft. Little children won't be able to sleep upstairs, the stairs are steep. For us as a family it was ideal and we got some great sleep. The farm road is in a good condition - just a bit difficult for a vehicle with low ground clearance.
