Loved everything.
Absolutely nothing!

The view is epic. The place is lovely. I would be able to stay there for at least another week.
The road there is terrible. Only about 10km but I would not want to drive it with a caravan again. Close to the farmhouse the road is also uneven so our caravan water pipes got damaged so that we could not use any water in the caravan the whole holiday.

Place was absolutely what we wanted and needed after a long road day, we could swim, take a walk, sit and appreciate the surroundings. Warm water, clean comfy bed, beautiful details. Very friendly dog.

Fantastic wild Karoo atmosphere, very quiet.
Well-stocked bookshelf.
Roaring fireplace for cold evenings.
Access road is currently in good condition, driveable with normal car - needs clearance.
May be problematic after heavy rains..

Wonderful place on a farm. Very friendly and helpful owners who gave very clear and precise instruction on how to get there and how and what to do from there.
Wonderfully quiet and perfect for people who look for their "own" place for a while, with great opportunities to hike around the farm, and take in the beauties of nature and the birdlife. Quiet, clean and very spacious. Would have liked to stay longer had we had the time.

Everything about the cottage was excellent!! You are surrounded by untouched nature in the Camdeboo National Park. The house was clean and beds and showers were so comfortable. Our host Niles was so friendly and helpful and her directions were excellent. She helped us out with firewood and gave us great tips for the surrounding area. Her dogs were very friendly and visited us on a few occasions. She even brought us freshly baked 'roosterkoeke' on one occasion. The outside braai area is also unbeatable with the nature around you. I would highly recommend staying here!
The WiFi could have been a bit faster but honestly you completely forget about any technology when you are there. So that did not even bother us at all.

Most beautiful and relaxing stay. Beautiful cozy Karoo cottage. Very helpfull host just a whatsapp away. Friendliest cleaning lady came to greet us with freshly baked roosterkoek. Well done on this exstra final touch. 3 farm dogs came to say hallo everyday.
Wonderful clear sky for star gazing at night.
Enjoyed the cozy fire inside the cottage later in the evenings.
Will definitely book again. Hope to use the pool in warmer weather as our 2 days was not as hot to cool of.

The perfect getaway from city life and escape into the wild. The cottage is on a working farm owned by a lovely British couple that are in the process of upgrading it and creating more cottages. The rooms offer a rustic yet luxurious vintage African explorer aesthetic, and have every comfort available. Both rooms have en suite bathrooms and showers, all windows have insect nets, both rooms have air conditioning, and the kitchen has a gas stove and kettle for when loadshedding strikes. The cottage also comes with a potjie and indoor fireplace as well as outdoor Braai area, table, and private pool with a jacuzzi function. And the property has a resident purebred ridgeback who has the most gentle nature and is very friendly.
The insects but unfortunately that comes with the territory of farm life. There isn’t a single critique I have of this property. If I could have stayed for more nights I would have.

A delightful overnight stay, in a calm, tranquil environment, away from the bustle of the nearby town.
Nilene was in communication on the day, giving excellent, precise directions - what a lovely host, thank you 😊

Didn't know the road was challenging until we got the directions. Maybe a good idea to mention that you need a car with a high ground clearance before booking is confirmed.
