Food for your soul! Ymansdam is between zero and nothing. There you just lose your heart to the beautiful nature! The evenings with all the stars in the sky are beautiful! Thank you .

Kos vir jou siel! Ymansdam is tussen nul en niks. Daar verloor jy net jou hart op die pragtige natuur! Die aande met al die sterre in die lug is hoendervleis mooi! Dankie .

Have fun! If you like nature, this is the right place. Clean air and beautiful hiking trails. The beauty around you makes up for the lack of our usual comforts. Very warm welcome.

Lekker gerus! As jy van die natuur hou, is dit die regte plek. Skoon lug en pragtige staproetes. Die mooi rondom jou maak op vir die gebrek aan ons gewone geriewe. Baie hartlike ontvangs.

Breathtakingly beautiful and quiet, but needs some attention in the ablution area. I know it's a bush camp, but from the toilet and shower you can see the camp and the camp can see you too. You are told to save water, but all the pipes are leaking. The donkey works quite nicely. The bushes surrounding the camp have about 6 voles and we found a cobra about 1 km from the camp. Not a good combination. It is indeed one of the most beautiful and quiet places you can ever find if you can live with nature.

Asemrowend mooi en stil, maar kort bietjie aandag in die ablusie area. Ek weet dis 'n boskamp, maar uit die toilet en stort kan jy die kamp sien en die kamp kan jou ook sien. Jy word gesê om water te bespaar, maar al die pype lek. Die donkie werk nogal lekker. Die bosse wat die kamp omring het omtrent 6 veldmuise en ons het 'n kobra sowat 1 km van die kamp af gekry. Nie 'n goeie kombinasie nie. Dit is wel een van die mooiste en stilste plekke wat jy ooit kan kry as jy met die natuur kan saamleef.

Relaxing and refreshing. A relaxed break from the hustle and bustle of life. No cell reception, no electricity, just you and nature. Beautiful walks, amazing scenery, lots of birds. The hostess also delivered fresh apricots from their garden and topped up our ice supply.

Very good accommodation in Tankwa Karoo. Very nice location. Very well equipped. Very helpful hostess. You will experience tranquility and peace here. Be very sure of road directions before you go.

Baie goeie verblyf in Tankwa Karoo. Baie mooi ligging. Baie goed toegerus. Baie behulpsame gasvrou. Rustigheid en vrede sal jy hier ervaar. Maak baie seker van padaanwysings voordat jy gaan.

Where you can appreciate the beauty of the Karoo and enjoy the silence. Primitive self-catering accommodation that is comfortable and although it feels remote, the farmhouse is close by. Very friendly reception and clean and tidy accommodation. Would definitely recommend staying here. Think we'll try out the campsite next time.

Waar jy die mooi van die Karoo kan waardeer en die stilte geniet. Primitiewe selfsorgverblyf wat gerieflik is en alhoewel dit afgeleë voel, is die plaashuis naby. Baie vriendelike ontvangs en skoon en netjiese verblyf. Sal definitief aanraai om hier te oornag. Dink ons sal volgende keer die kampplek uitprobeer.

Indescribable! Nettie welcomed us warmly and was so kind and helpful! Our little house was beautiful, neat and luxurious in true Karoo style. Ymansdam is well located and a central point for exploring the surrounding area (it's just outside the Tankwa Karoo National Park). We spent the night there and soon realized that one has to stay there for a few days. We recommend Ymansdam without a doubt and will be back again soon.

Onbeskryflik! Nettie het ons hartlik verwelkom en was so gaaf en behulpsaam! Ons huisie was pragtig, netjies en luuks in egte Karoo-styl. Ymansdam is goed geleë en 'n sentrale punt om die omliggende area (dis net buite die Tankwa Karoo Nasionale Park) te verken. Ons het daar oornag en gou besef dat 'n mens 'n paar dae daar moet vertoef. Ons beveel Ymansdam sonder twyfel aan en is binnekort weer terug.

An absolutely breathtaking location in a well-equipped cottage for two! The well-signposted Ymansdam Farm lies just outside the official Tankwa National Park, and access roads require care and patience. Deflate your tyres! Nettie and Arno are welcoming wonderful hosts. The setting of the charming "Oppiekoppie" (meaning "top of the hill") cottage is stunning with views across the Tankwa ("thirst land") all the way to the Cederberg and Ceres Mountains 150km away to the west, and the nearer Roggeveld Mountains a few km from the beautiful front verandah (with its plunge pool, which was cold - end of April 23) but refreshing! There are actually 8 seats to choose from in this two-sleeper, which is ideal for a couple wanting "time together". We had not expected the big gas-powered fridge with an ice compartment, which makes longer stays possible if you bring your own perishable food, and beverages nice and cold. The "donkey" water boiler was fun to use: the novelty for city dwellers! It was unexpectedly "not cold" and we didn't require the indoor gas heater, instead we braaied (barbequed) and sat outside around the fire absorbing the sounds of nature. Obviously, no electricity is available but the gas cooker boiled water for tea and coffee quickly. There is plenty of crockery, glassware etc. The linen and towels are great and plentiful. Lastly, the five-star "secret" of Oppiekoppie has to be the shower with a full-length window overlooking the Tankwa, so, even when in the bathroom, you can still absorb the views. Stargazing for us was tricky due to the bright moon but we got up at 2 am for a quick enjoyment of the billions of stars. We also walked around the farm and saw the two "with ablutions" campsites (five-star rural glamping) and the area for wild campers (fully self-sufficient). The profile photos do not do Ymansdam Oppiekoppie justice. They are pictorially accurate but the atmosphere. Well, you have to be there.
