Incredible self-catering accommodation in the Karoo.
I booked at the last minute (the night before!) but the communication was immediate and effective. This is not the first time I have slept at The Vale Karoo Farm, so I knew what to expect, and once again it did not disappoint. I specifically booked a self-catering cottage with two rooms, but when we checked in we were assigned to a double-room cottage. However, this was immediately rectified when I asked for a two-bedroom unit. The braai packets were exceptionally tasty. Two mutton chops and two pieces of sausage per person which are very nicely salted. The fries and potato salad we ordered were also excellent. Wood and firelighters we bought were enough. It was just a nice evening in the Karoo with a beautiful sunset, a big fire, nice lamb chops with side dishes, and brandy. What better could one want!

Lovely peaceful Karoo stop!
We had a lovely peaceful afternoon. There is a lovely pond to swim in. The reception has basic sweets / soft drinks which are cute. There was also a drinks menu in the room for the festive season - we ordered nice cocktails that were brought to our room! The braai buns we ordered with our braai meat were delicious! We will definitely stop here again!

Vale should look at information on advertisements vs. what you get if you sleep there. PHOTOS do not correspond at all to real amenities. Dinner prices vary. The price of, among other things, a burger is ridiculously expensive - compared to a normal wimpy burger. One expects at least a homemade 100% meat burger with enough side dishes? Won't just sleep there again.
All mentioned above.

Misleading advertisement and unsatisfactory accommodation.
There is no carport or WiFi (if there was they didn't share it with us), they don't explain that there is another bedroom for 4 in the same unit that you share with another family. The common kitchen and living area is against the bedroom door and the kitchen plus the living area is only big enough for one family to use, the other family has to wait in the room until you finish. One of the mattresses was slept through and one of the bedside lamps didn't work, when I touched the bedside lamp's cable I was almost shocked to death because the cable against the wall plug is an open live wire (unbelievably big risk for children!). The blinds are made of straps and there are no curtains so the light shining on the cars outside the window shines directly into the room. There is also no air conditioning and you can't open the window because of all the insects flying around the light right above your head. Also stay away from the dinner that can be booked in advance, way too expensive for what you get, ice cold and the microwave is stone cold, has no glass plate in it plus it takes about 15 min to heat one plate of food. What a mess!

From the moment we inquired about staying at Vale Karoo Farm, through the entire quote and communication process to the moment we left, the service provided by Simoné (manager of Vale Karoo Farm) was absolutely outstanding. She is truly a positive addition to this excellent accommodation. Her friendliness and quick and efficient communication made the experience a pleasure. The accommodation is beyond expectation and extremely neat and fully prepared. The braai packs with wood and fire lighters rounded it off even more. What a fantastic experience and we would recommend Vale Karoo Farm anytime and even visit again.

Very nice and completely adequate for a short stay.
The only criticism I have is that the kitchen facilities could have been better laid out. There is one wall plug that serves the fridge, frying pan and kettle and it is too far in the corner making it difficult to reach. The taps are very beautiful and rustic but completely impractical because they are not high enough and you struggle to fill the kettle. The boiler was also not working properly. Other than that it is a beautiful place and we were very satisfied.

Overnight was so-so.
Cutlery was dirty and full of grease from previous user. Braai packs very expensively priced. Had to pay for firewood and firelighters. Why not included in the price of barbecue packages? Dinner in a restaurant and breakfast were considered, but not done because price. Bathroom in house 11 is very small and uncomfortable. I believe that the owner himself should spend the night in his own units to identify shortcomings. We have been traveling along the route to Sedgefield for the past 20 years and it was the first time at The Vale Karoo. Will prefer to spend the night in another place next year.

The Vale Karoo Farm 's response
Goeie dag,
Dankie vir u terugvoer aangaande u verblyf.
Ons vra onverskoning vir enige ongerief wat u ervaar het tydens u oornag by ons,
Neem asb. kennis dat weens droogte omstandighede en boorgate wat opgedroog ry ons water van ander plase af aan, dus is dit die rede vir geen swemgeriewe en dus is dit die rede waarom ons nerens swemgeriewe adverteer tydens hierdie kritiese tyd nie. Ons vra ook omverskoning dat u lugversorgers verwag het en dus slegs n waaier ontvang het in die eenheid, maar neem kennis dat ons nerens aandui dat eenhede lugversorgers beskik nie.
Ons sou waardeer dat u by ontvangs aangemeld het oor u bekommernisse tydens die verblyf dan kon ons vir u alternatiewe oplossings vind asook dat u kussings benodig het dan kon ons dit dadelik aan u voorsien het, omrede ons dit nie op die stoele plaas nie, weens die warm karoo son wat dit totniet gaan brand.
Hoop om julle weer by ons te kan verwelkom.

For what we paid, it was quite disappointing. There are 2 single beds in the small room which also serves as a kitchen/dining room, barely enough space to work or sit. Kitchen equipment was full of dust. Sink drain was blocked. Rest of the house terribly full of dust and bathroom not very clean either. No doormat meant we had to walk in the house with our muddy shoes while it rained. In general, the maintenance and cleaning of chalets needs more attention, in our opinion.

The Vale Karoo offers all the necessary facilities. However, be warned that the economy option is the Jagtershut which means sharing facilities with wild strangers. If privacy is important to you choose another option. The three-course meal is not necessarily suitable as one does not necessarily feel like a big meal after a long day on the road with snacks all the time. Alternative options with smaller and more affordable items are recommended for both dinner and breakfast.

For that price you expect more and the price shouldn't leave you hungry. If you're not planning to braai, then I'd recommend that you drive to Beaufort West and eat something there. The stone cottage in which we stayed was spotless and had all the facilities we needed. Our son loved the horses and the pony as well as the goats and the dam. The animals are care for and it was a pleasure to visit them everyday.

Ons het heerlik hier oorgebly en moes eintlik nog 'n nag oor bly om rêrig die plaas heeltemal te kon waardeer.

We had a great time staying here and actually had to stay another night to fully appreciate the farm.
The children immediately went to the turtles, horses, tame sheep and goats on our arrival and enjoyed it so much. The house was beautifully clean and we had a great time sitting outside and watching the clouds come up. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, I had a lot of meat and was able to store it in their freezer until the next morning. Would stay there again anytime.

Very nice place. Air conditioning and coffee/tea/milk/sugar would have been good. Especially since it's only for overnight. The cupboards above were thick with dust.

Wonderful accommodation!
The accommodation is ideally located between Drie Susters and Beaufort West with friendly service and welcome. The cottage we stayed in was ideal and wonderfully equipped for self-catering. We would have loved to stay another day to see the rest of the game farm. Really value for money and would recommend to anyone wanting to stay overnight on their way to the Cape.

Baie dankie vir die terugvoering, ons waardeer altyd om van ons gaste te hoor. Soos julle kan verstaan, is ons verskriklik vol bespreek Desembers. Julle sou oorspronklik 5 volwassenes en 2 kinders gewees het.. Julle het 'n ekstra volwassene saam gebring, wat 'n situasie veroorsaak het. Gelukkig, kon ons julle verder behulpsaam wees om vir julle DIE LUUKSE HONEYMOON SUITE te reel vir julle ekstra gas. Dit was net 'n plesier om julle by ons te hê, en ons hoop om julle weer te akkommodeer in die toekoms.
Vriendelike Karoo groete

A true oasis in the Karoo.
After a long way from Pretoria with many roadworks, we were very kindly received at The Vale Karoo, a real oasis. Later in the afternoon we had a wonderful time relaxing on the veranda with a strawberry cocktail in hand. Our place to stay for the evening was beautifully furnished with everything you need, crisp linen that makes you feel like you're sleeping on a cloud.

We stayed here for two nights.
The accommodation is very nice and tidy and also conveniently close to the town. However, I found it very small and cramped and it has no place to relax like a living room. It is more of a stopover.

Just the place to sleep over! We organized a braai at the chalet ahead of time. Meat, wood, salad and buns were neatly delivered to our chalet. Nice barbecue under the Karoo stars! The restaurant's food also looked very tasty. Also took mountain bikes and rode around the farm.
