The ambiance was great, it felt like home.
“Location was perfect in that we felt as though we were in the country, with bird calls and the distant church clock chiming, but without the noise of people or traffic. The furnishings and deco was tasteful with comfortable seating in an outside courtyard and in several spots inside.” Angus. September 2024

Abundance in the Karoo
“This property is a dream come true. Super Luxury in the Karoo. Absolutely everything you could want from a 5 star establishment with the added extra of self catering. The excellence of everything, and more of it. The art, the comfy bedding, the plush towels. There is no TV, so you can take in the awesomeness of relaxation. Thank you for the abundance of wood and firelighters and charcoal. Will definitely come back here.” Dewald. December 2023

“Loved location and being able to walk to town. Had a lekker braai outside and cosy indoor fireplace. Comfortable and all we need.” Michael. September 2023
Fantastic accommodation, close enough to walk to town but far enough to feel like a farm.
“Lovely accommodation, tastefully furnished. The accommodation is beautifully furnished. The king-size bed, electric blanket and luxurious cotton linen ensured a wonderful night’s rest. We walked far on the farm roads out and also in the town. Our dog was in seventh heaven with the large yard. We could walk around the smallholding with her.” Erina. July 2022
