Beautiful, restful and serene. What a fantastic stay! Peiter and his wife were incredible hosts - upon arriving, we had warm farm-baked bread in the kitchen with jam and butter. Nestled in the breathtaking Nuweveld mountain range, this charming guest house offers a serene retreat away from the fast pace of everyday life. From the moment we arrived, we enjoyed the best of the Karoo with sheep in the veld and surrounded by mountains. The farmhouse itself is beautifully maintained, providing comfortable and cosy self-catering accommodations. With three well-appointed bedrooms and a fully equipped kitchen, it felt like a home away from home. The stillness of the Karoo, combined with the stunning landscapes, made for a rejuvenating getaway. If you’re looking for a tranquil escape to recharge and reconnect with nature, I'd recommend Eselfontein Gasteplaas. It’s a hidden gem that perfectly captures the essence of the Karoo, offering not just a place to stay, but an experience to cherish.

Weekend getaway from the hustle and bustle. We had a great time at Eselfontein, the wind was a bit strong and cold on Friday when we arrived, but AGA made up for it. Thanks for fueling AGA. The 30 km dirt road to guest farm is very beautiful and can be driven with a normal sedan car. Thanks again for als, the nice chat, and I'll see you again soon. This time I'll come with the motorcycle, then we can go for a ride.

Naweek wegbreek van die gewoel. Ons het baie lekker gekuier op Eselfontein, die wind was 'n bietjie sterk en koud Vrydag met ons aankoms, maar AGA het opgemaak daar voor. Dankie vir die stook van AGA. Die 30 km grondpad na gasteplaas is baie mooi en kan gery word met 'n gewone sedanmotor. Nogmaals dankie vir als, die lekker gesels, en ek sien jou gou weer. Die keer kom ek met die motorfiets, dan kan ons so bietjie gaan ry.

Peaceful farm getaway with friendly people. We were spoiled with a pure white snowy weekend on Eselfontein. The owner and his wife made sure that the AGA stove was nice and warm all weekend, and we were properly spoiled. I would definitely recommend it!

Rustige plaas wegbreek met vriendelike mense. Ons was bederf met 'n spierwit gesneeude naweek op Eselfontein. Die eienaar en sy vrou het gesorg dat die AGA-stoof die hele naweek lekker warm was, en ons was ordentlik bederf. Ek sal dit beslis aanbeveel!

Most beautiful Karoo farm! We had a lovely stay in the characterful farmhouse with everything you need. The house is neat and everything is spotless and comfortable. Freshly baked buns were a delicious treat!

Mooiste Karooplaas! Ons het heerlik gebly in die karaktervolle plaashuis met alles wat jy nodig het. Die huis is netjies en alles is silwerskoon en gerieflik. Varsgebakte broodjies was 'n heerlike bederf!

Quiet, beautiful, nice farm stay. The farmer and his wife were extremely friendly. My dog and I had such a nice stay. After a long day on the road and coming home to freshly baked farm bread. I will hide there again for sure. The place is super clean, everything you need and more. Thank you very much for the most beautiful evenings in the Karoo. Have fun, have a nice walk!

Rustig, pragtig, lekker plaas verblyf. Die boer en sy vrou was uiters vriendelik. Ek en my hondekind het so lekker gebly. Na 'n lang dag op die pad en om tuis te kom na vars gebakte plaasbrood. Ek sal vir seker weer daar gaan wegkruip. Die plek is super skoon, alles wat jy nodig het en meer. Baie dankie vir die mooiste aande in die Karoo. Lekker gerus, lekker gestap!

Quiet, peaceful, with lots of character and hospitality. We had a very nice stay here. Pieter is so hospitable and the house has so much character. Quiet, peaceful and stargazing is amazing. Nice barbecue and bike ride.

Stil, rustig, met baie karakter en gasvryheid. Ons het baie lekker hier gebly. Pieter is so gasvry en die huis het so baie karakter. Stil, rustig en sterre kyk is ongelooflik. Lekker gebraai en fiets gery.

Pampering visit in the Rante. Words are too few to describe this incredible diamond in the heart of the Nêrens Karoo. Not only is the hospitality of the owners exemplary, they feel like family you haven't seen in a long time. The guest farm receives the Michelin award for creating an extremely clean and functional oasis in my beloved world. I'm trying to come up with excuses to visit again.

Interesting, friendly, exceptional. This was the highlight of our visit in the Karoo. We only booked one night but would definitely go back for longer. Here we experienced Karoo hospitality like no other place. The view is breathtaking and the house is a beautiful old farmhouse that reminds me of my childhood on my grandfather's farm. Even delicious fresh sandwiches received on arrival. The price is no indication of what you can expect. It's really dirt cheap for what you get. Thank you very much for your hospitality and the nice chat and visit. You really have a gem in the Karoo.

Interessant, vriendelik, uitsonderlik. Hierdie was die hoogtepunt van ons kuier in die Karoo. Ons het net een nag bespreek maar sal definitief terug gaan vir langer. Ons het hier Karoo gasvryheid ervaar soos by geen ander plek. Die uitsig is asemrowend en die huis is 'n pragtige ou plaashuis wat my aan my kinderjare op my oupa se plaas herinner. Selfs heerlike vars broodjies ontvang met aankoms. Die prys is geen aanduiding van wat jy kan verwag nie. Dit is regtig spotgoedkoop vir wat jy kry. Baie dankie vir julle gasvryheid en die lekker gesels en kuier. Julle het sowaar 'n juweel in die Karoo.
