Extremely relaxing and rejuvenating. The views from Huis Oppie Rant are stunning, and it is super quiet and peaceful. The cottage is completely off-grid, so you can really switch off, but the main farmhouse (a short walk away) does have WiFi if you really feel the need for connectivity . There are many nice day hikes in the area, and in summer you can even swim in the river. We will definitely be back.

A wonderful break from the world. We stayed at Cloete House (built 1876), which is like stepping into the past with the paraffin lamps, outside and indoor fireplaces, and slow pace of life. Surrounded by flowering aloes and mountains, we had a peaceful and very happy stay. Loved the preservation of the long family history at their farm museum in the old post office. Next time I'll take enough wood so I don't have to leave to go anywhere!

Absolute hemel! Was baie lekker, mooiste natuurskoon met stilte en sterre wat konsert hou in die aand.

Histories en nostalgies! Uiters lekker vir 'n wegbreek aan die meer primitiewe kant, fantastiese uitsig oor die natuur, geriewe meer as voldoende. Die rit oppad na die woning is net so avontuurlik. Die ou Poskantoor daar naby is 'n juweel. Het te veel tyd aan die Portfees gespandeer, sou graag nog tyd wou gehad het vir die verskeie staproetes, 4x4 en visvang. Kortliks, die verblyf en area was die wenner!

Rustig. Heerlike gekuier. Pragtige huis met ryke geskiedenis.

Wonderlike natuurskoon. Ons verblyf was alles waarvoor ons kon vra, netjies en skoon met pragtige natuurskoon.

Farm stay near Calitzdorp. Beautiful drive from the R62 to a comfortable, spacious cottage with views over the farm and valley. Happily recommend this stay for overnight or longer.

Onbeskryflik! Selma is 'n wonderlike gasvrou. Niks is te veel moeite nie. Sy het ons geakkommodeer al was ons sommer een te veel! Dit was regtig wonderlik en die natuur is wonderlik.

Pragtige ligging en lekker naby aan die rivier, heerlike vars lug en ontsaglike mooi berge en dale met unieke staproetes sommer naby aan die huis. Die huis was baie netjies en mooi skoon met kofiee en suiker verskaf asook vuur maak hout vir die braai plek. Die WiFi het perfek gewerk en Selomina was vreeslik behulpsaam met enige infrmasie wat ek benodig het. Sal virseker weer matjesvlei besoek!

Beautiful spot to unwind. The combination of a spacious old house, beautiful views, hiking trails, and a river to cool off in made for a wonderful break. Plus the family are friendly and kind hosts who love their place and heritage.
