Stilte is nou en dan nodig en dit is wat ons gekry het.

Plaasatmosfeer is heerlik. Stoepiesit, boeklees, stap, dierekyk, swem, fietsry, amazing!

Silence is needed now and then and that's what we got.

Farm atmosphere is delicious. Sitting on the porch, reading books, walking, animal watching, swimming, cycling, amazing!

Stylvolle en ontspanne atmosfeer in 'n pragtige omgewing.

Die Karoo-stilte is waarlik tasbaar op hierdie gasteplaas. Die kothuis is heerlik ruim, karaktervol gemeubileerd en laat mens dadelik tuis voel. Die gasvrye ontvangs deur Stephanie en die verduideliking van alles was werklik uitstekend. Die vuurtjie in die aande en die plonspoel is 'n bonus.

Stylish and relaxed atmosphere in beautiful surroundings.

The Karoo silence is truly palpable on this guest farm. The cottage is wonderfully spacious, furnished with character and makes you feel right at home. The hospitable reception by Stephanie and the explanation of everything was really excellent. The fire in the evenings and the splash pool are a bonus.

Voëls en voëlbad bied baie plesier.

Die verblyf hier was heerlik. Ons het net die heeldag op die stoep gesit en kyk hoe die voëls in die voëlbad baljaar en speel. Al werk die stoof met gas, is daar tog krag en warm water. Die een sitbank is net al lekker deurgesit. Neem 'n fiets saam en verkyker en geniet die stilte. Die twee groot honde is baie mooi opgevoed en vriendelik en baie op hul plek.

Birds and bird baths offer a lot of fun.

The stay here was wonderful. We just sat on the porch all day and watched the birds frolic and play in the bird bath. Even though the stove works with gas, there is power and hot water. The one couch has just been nicely put through. Take a bike and binoculars and enjoy the silence. The two large dogs are very well behaved and friendly and very much in their place.

Dear Corne, many thanks for your kind words and helpful advice. We're so glad that you enjoyed your time with us, and that we were able to distract you from the challenges of 2020. I will definitely investigate the sleeper couch you speak of, which sounds as though it too, has succumbed to the 2020 malaise. We do hope to see you again in the near future.

Charming Karoo cottage with wonderful hosts.

We loved the cottage with all the memorabilia and the stoep with the perfect, peaceful view. Ashley and André are wonderful hosts and their two ridge-backs are beautiful. From the lesser double collared sunbirds in the greenery to the owls in the loft and the interesting succulents on the hill it was a total delight.

A beautiful stay over. Wish we'd been able to stay longer.

A lovely quaint converted barn with a beautiful view of the Touws River. Lots to do such as biking, walking or running in the neighbouring nature reserve or just sitting and enjoying the landscape around you.

Gasvryheid en rustige atmosfeer is goed vir die gemoed.

Die kommunikasie voor die naweek, ontvangs en nasorg was perfek.

Ruimte, vars lug en die geraas van die natuur.

Ons het heerlik gebly in die ruim waenhuis met 'n stoep wat suid kyk (vir skaduwee op warm somer middae) en die natuur te geniet. Meeste selfsorgeenhede het een kamer met kombuis, eethoekie en bed so dit was lekker om die keer 'n aparte slaapkamer te. Twee dinge wat ons selde by selfsorg geriewe vind is 'n ordentlike skerp messie en growwe sout en peper- die waenhuis het beide gehad.

Space, fresh air and the noise of nature.

We had a lovely stay in the spacious carriage house with a south-facing veranda (for shade on hot summer afternoons) and enjoying nature. Most self-catering units have one room with kitchen, dining area and bed so it was nice to have a separate bedroom for once. Two things we rarely find at self-catering facilities are a decent sharp knife and coarse salt and pepper - the carriage house had both.

Hi Antoinette
Baie dankie vir jou terugvoer. Ons waardeer dit. So bly dat julle die tyd in d'Waenhuis geniet het. Ons het nou 'n klein swembad teenaan julle stoep gebou. Die Zara huisie het nou ook sy eie swembad. Ons het nou ook Wi-Fi in die huisies.
Ons probeer om altyd te verbeter, sodat ons gaste die beste wegbreek moontlik kan geniet.
Groete
Andre

'n Wonderlike wegbreek!

Die rustigheid van Wolverfontein forseer 'n mens om onmiddellik te ontspan.

Die gasvryheid was net so warm soos die Karoo-dae!

'n Werkende waaier in elke kamer is noodsaaklik - dit is baie warm daar en die "goggas" in die nag is baie lastig!

The hospitality was as warm as the Karoo days!

A working fan in every room is essential - it's very hot there and the "bugs" at night are very annoying!
