Dankie Estelle. Jammer oor die Varkgriep in ons gebied. Ek wou baie graag met julle kleinseun in die kloof gaan stap het, maar ek was en is steeds kaput. Sien weer. Dit sal lekker wees.

Fantastic!
We only stayed for a Saturday night, breakaway from the city and we were blown away by the beautiful nature, the farm's neatness, friendliness and helpfulness of the owners. Everything was top notch. We will definitely visit Villa St Joseph again, very soon. It is a jewel between somewhere and the where, it is a must see!

If you don't want to do anything, this is the place, away from everything and peaceful atmosphere.
Very peaceful, there is literally nothing to do which is a problem if you have children, no DStv or fishing or other activities. There are also permanent tenants staying on site which complicates things and lacks a holiday atmosphere. Another problem is that Ladybrand does not have a slaughterhouse and that you have to travel from there to Bloemfontein (120 km) to buy meat. However, the environment is very beautiful.

Ladybrand is nie 'n vakansiebestemming nie en ons plaas 'n rustige Oos-Vrystaatse beesplaas met mense wat soggens opstaan en gaan werk. Ons is uitstekend geleë vir toegang tot Ladybrand en Maseru, hoofstad van Lesotho, maar sonder die lawaai van stadslewe. Ons is binne-in 'n 600 voet hoog berg en gevolglik is DStv al TV ontvangs wat ons in alle huise het met eie dekodeerders.
Ladybrand Shoprite en Spar het uitstekende slaghuise en bakkerye waar alles wat mens in 'n stad kan koop, te koop is. OVK verkoop die lekkerste Karroo braai- en boerewors.
Meeste van ons gaste is mense wat in ons omgewing kom werk en diegene wat die stadslewe bietjie wil afskud met jakkalse wat snags huil en bokkies en tarrentale wat vroegoggend op die grasperke wei. Op ons plaas doen mens plaasdinge. Jy stap en klim berg en, voor dit te koud is, swem jy sommer in die plaasdam. Of as jy fiks wil bly, gaan oefen jy in ons gimnasium. Kinders speel wegkruipertjie, kleilatgooi of bou grotte op die groot rotse naby die huise.
Ons dorp het uistekende sportgeriewe, soos golf- en tennisbane. Die koel klimaat hier teen die Maluti-berge veroorsaak dat hier nie eintlik geswem word nie. Ons bied rustige en veilige verblyf aan in ons ou, gerestoureerde Rooms Katolieke Missie, teen 'n koste wat nie maklik geklop word nie.
