The most wonderful stay! Nana is an incredible host! The most wonderful stay! Nana is an incredible host. She went out of her way to make our stay worth it. The accommodation is extremely well-equipped. This is the type of stay where you just need to bring clothes and food, as everything else is provided. The location of the accommodation is perfect for someone who loves to be outdoors and in nature. A clear sky means wonderful stargazing too! If the weather is too hot, there is also a small splash pool to help cool you down. Everything is just perfect!

Relaxing 3 nights. We loved it! We stayed for 3 nights in Date Cottage and had a great time. This is the perfect place for a proper break. Off the grid but so comfortable. The cottage has everything you need. There are beautiful walks, sunsets and animals on the farm. Nona was so warm and friendly and we even got a freshly baked bread on our 2nd day. Thank you!

Certainly the part of our break we were most looking forward to and Skoorsteenberg did not disappoint! Breathtaking landscapes, silence that hurts your ears and stars you can touch! The cleanliness and tranquility of the cottage only helped to make everything even better! Nana is a real hostess and extremely attentive and caring. We just fell in love all over again with the Tankwa and Nana's farm is a gem in it. Friendly people in the area. The Padstal is a landmark on the way there and the road from Ceres leaves one in awe of nature again!

Sekerlik die deel van ons wegbreek waarna ons die meeste uitgesien het en Skoorsteenberg het nie teluergestel nie! Asemrowende landskappe, stilte wat jou ore seermaak en sterre waaraan mens kan vat! Die netheid en rustigheid van die kothuis het net gehelp om alles nog beter te maak! Nana is 'n ware gasvrou en uiters bedag en besorgd. Ons het net weer van voor af verlief geraak op die Tankwa en Nana se plaas is 'n juweel daarin. Vriendelike mense in die omgewing. Die Padstal is 'n landmerk op pad soontoe en die pad van Ceres laat mens in bewondering weer vir die natuur!

Thank you so much for the great feedback Arlett. I am very glad you enjoyed it so much and appreciated the silence of the Tankwa. Come and visit again anytime, you were very respectful and tidy guests.

Baie dankie vir die wonderlike terugvoer Arlett. Ek is baie bly julle het dit so geniet en die stilte van die Tankwa waardeer. Kom kuier enige tyd weer, julle was baie respekvolle en netjiese gaste.

Tranquil cosy stay in the heart of the Tankwa. The perfect Tankwa stay! Clean and very cosy accommodation. Lots of open spaces to 'play'. Nana was so helpful. The Tankwa gave its best to us!

It has been our 7th stay at Skoorsteenberg but our first winter stay. We found that it is best to go either spring or autumn, but summers can be very beautiful as well although it can get extremely hot. We had a bit of difficulty getting to the farm and 4x4 was required due to a very muddy R355. Two days before our departure, the access farm road was severely flooded but the water subsided just at the right time, so with 4x4 low range we could make it back ok as this road was extremely muddy. It is advisable to contact the farm owner to find out about road conditions, especially if you drive a normal sedan.

Thank you for the review Martin, and for the many visits. Good advice for future guests in the rainy season, although sometimes we have summer rains too- so always better to contact us before the departure. As long as you were warm enough, and had a good break. With little else to do, it was probably beneficial.

Dankie vir die resensie Martin, en vir die vele besoeke. Goeie raad vir toekomstige gaste in die reënseisoen, alhoewel ons soms ook somerreën het - so altyd beter om ons te kontak voor die vertrek. Solank jy warm genoeg was, en 'n goeie ruskans gehad het. Met min anders om te doen, was dit waarskynlik voordelig.

Had a great stay. Had just too little time to fully enjoy the Karoo. It is the right place to find rest for the soul. Appreciated everything available as it takes a lot of effort to run such a remote place.

Het baie lekker gebly. Het net te min tyd gehad om die Karoo ten volle te geniet. Dit is die regte plek om rus vir die siel te kry. Het alles wat beskikbaar is, waardeer aangesien dit baie moeite verg om so 'n afgeleë plek te bedryf.

Wonderful and peaceful. Beautiful scenery. Thanks to Nana for putting up with our reef back Simba. I know he was a little annoying at times but it was great to have him with us.

Wonderlik en rustig. Pragtige natuurskoon. Dankie aan Nana dat sy ons rifrug Simba geduld het. Ek weet hy het soms bietjie gepla maar dit was wonderlik om hom by ons te hê.

Hi Grove I'm glad you enjoyed it here. Thank you for your nice review. Simba didn't mind at all. He is just young and full of energy. Guess he enjoyed it too. regards Nana

Hi Grové Ek is bly julle het dit hier geniet. Dankie vir jou mooi resensie. Simba het glad nie gepla nie. Hy is net jonk en vol energie. Glo hy het dit ook geniet. Groete Nana

Secluded, peaceful and quiet. The hostess Nanna is very helpful and friendly and the house is very well equipped, clean and practical. What stood out was the hot water system. There is a choice of electric or a donkey to get the water hot. I chose to use the donkey and so we had an abundance of hot water for the whole time. Furthermore, we had a great time there and really enjoyed the silence.

Afgeleë, rustig en stil. Die gasvrou Nanna is baie behulpsaam en vriendelik en die huis is baie goed toegerus, skoon en prakties. Wat uitgestaan het was die warmwaterstelsel. Daar is 'n keuse van elektries of 'n donkie om die water warm te kry. Ek het verkies om die donkie te gebruik en so het ons 'n oorvloed warm water gehad vir die hele tyd. Verder het ons baie lekker daar gekuier en die stilte baie geniet.

Great relax in beautiful surroundings. Accommodation offers everything and more. Wonderful environment for active hikers and mountain bike enthusiasts. The environment is beautiful. The accommodation is very well furnished and really nice. No internet/cell phone reception which is a bonus.

Heerlik ontspan in pragtige omgewing. Akkommodasie bied alles en meer. Wonderlike omgewing vir aktiewe voetslaners en bergfiets-entoesiaste. Die omgewing is pragtig. Die akkommodasie is baie goed ingerig en regtig mooi. Geen internet/selfoonontvangs wat 'n bonus is.

Isolated and deserted. Our visit was wonderful. It is very far away from anything and a fantastic place to switch off. The stars at night are indescribable. We were in the Olive cottage. The unit is very neat, spacious and clean. The stoep overlooks the plains and you find peace in your soul. The pool was clean and a very nice place to cool off from the heat. I would recommend it any day to people who want to get away from it all completely. Make sure you take your SLR camera to capture those stars.

Afgesonder en verlate. Ons kuier was heerlik. Dit is baie ver weg van enige iets af en 'n fantastiese plek om af te skakel. Die sterre in die nag is onbeskryflik. Ons was in die Olive cottage. Die eenheid is baie netjies, ruim en skoon. Die stoep kyk uit oor die vlaktes en mens kry vrede in jou siel. Die swembad was skoon en 'n baie lekker af koel plek teen die hitte. Ek sal dit enige dag aanbeveel vir mense wat heeltemal wil wegkom van alles af. Maak seker jy vat jou SLR kamera om daai sterre vas te vang.
