10/10 Absolutely stunning.

Absolutely excellent! First, the host! I have never received such a warm welcome. Our host could not do enough for us to make us comfortable - he really went above and beyond to assist us with logistics. The accommodation was perfect. We stayed in the studio, which is so well equipped, warm, cosy and comfortable. I would highly recommend the accommodation to anyone traveling through Willowmore. It was amazing!

Ons is vriendelik ontvang deur Carel.

Baie lekker gebly, dankie. Die cottage is jou huis weg van jou eie huis. Carel het aan alles gedink om gaste gerieflik te laat bly daar - tot die lekker beskuit met jou oggendkoffie. Ek kan net voorstel dat die vensters van die spaarkamer en badkamer, asook die agterdeur, ook met gaas toegemaak word vir die muskiete/goggas. Verder was alles puik - dankie, sal aanbeveel en weer oorbly indien ons weer daar verby kom.

We were kindly received by Carel.

Very nice stay, thank you. The cottage is your home away from home. Carel has thought of everything to make guests stay there comfortably - right down to the delicious biscuits with your morning coffee. I can only suggest that the windows of the spare room and bathroom, as well as the back door, are also closed with mesh for the mosquitoes/bugs. Other than that, everything was great - thank you, will recommend and stay again if we pass by again.

Heerlike Karoo-kuier.

Perfek. Meer kan mens nie vra nie. Veilig vir ons honde. Netjies binne en buite met al die toerusting wat nodig is. Goed ingerig vir 'load shedding'. Lekker atmosfeer. Gasheer is vriendelik en baie behulpsaam en vooraf kommunikasie het ons baie welkom laat voel. Ons kon voel ons is in die Karoo met al sy gasvryheid. Dankie, Carel, vir die braaihout en lekker braaiplek sowel as al die hulp na die tyd om 'n apteek in Graaff-Reinet te kry.

Perfect. One cannot ask for more. Safe for our dogs. Neat inside and out with all the necessary equipment. Well set up for load shedding. Nice atmosphere. Host is friendly and very helpful and advance communication made us feel very welcome. We could feel we were in the Karoo with all its hospitality. Thank you, Carel, for the braai wood and nice braai place as well as all the help after the time to find a pharmacy in Graaff-Reinet.

Gemaklik. Veilig. Gasvryheid uit die boonste rakke.

Carel as gasheer was onverbeterlik. Hy is 'n uitmuntende kommunikeerder en laat mens onmiddelik op gemak voel. Die kothuis was skoon, gerieflik en ek het baie veilig gevoel as enkeldame. Dis in die stiller deel van die dorp so mens kon rus na 'n lang rit. Ek beveel hierdie verblyf aan vir enige enkelpersone of groepe. Ek is baie tevrede met die diens wat ek gekry het. Welgedaan Carel.

Carel as a host was unbeatable. He is an excellent communicator and immediately puts you at ease. The cottage was clean, comfortable and I felt very safe as a single lady. It's in the quieter part of town so you could rest after a long drive. I recommend this accommodation for any single persons or groups. I am very satisfied with the service I received. Well done Carel.

Dit het 'n sekere bekoring.

Die huis en omgewing het beslis 'n sjarme. Maar saam met so 'n ou huis kom ook probleme. Die grootste hiervan is dat nie een van die deure in die huis kan toemaak nie - nie eers die badkamer s'n nie. Dit is nogal 'n pyn. Die kombuis was okay, maar hulle is duidelik meer ingestel op mense wat wil braai. Dit is heel interessant as jy 'n tradisionele Karoo huis wil ervaar.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

It has a certain charm.

The house and surroundings definitely have a charm. But with such an old house comes problems. The biggest of these is that none of the doors in the house can close - not even the bathroom's. It's quite a pain. The kitchen was okay, but they are clearly more geared towards people who want to barbecue. It is very interesting if you want to experience a traditional Karoo house.

Perfekte naweekwegbreekbestemming. So rustig in die Karoo en omgewing.

Die cottage is pragtig binne en buite. Alles skoon en netjies, en al die klein luukshede ingesluit. Die eienaar, Carel, gee persoonlike aandag en het seker gemaak ons het alles wat ons benodig. Ons het lekker gebraai en lekker by kaggelvuur gesit en eet. Die blyplek is perfek, en ons sal definitief weer hier ontspan en oorbly. Kan dit waarlik aanbeveel.
