Very good breakfast and dinner which we order before by mail. The place is 4 hours drive from Cape Town and 6 hours to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park so is good place to stay if you arrive to Cape Town by plane and not able to reach the park in one day. Place is quiet. You can buy from the owner very good hand collected roiboos tea, home made confiture and fire wood for further trip.In the town is well stocked Supermarket Spaar and filling station.

Beautiful little cottage with amazing views. Lovely owner. We would have loved to stay longer. If you are looking for somewhere to stay during the wildflower season don't hesitate to stay at Maskam Guest Farm.

Everything was perfect. Accommodation was very well priced, amazing scenery, Gifberg pass is a must. Loved my little cottage has all the amenities needed. Had the farm bake bread, the host was most hospitable. Coming back, during the flower season.

The setting was exquisite, the staff was so friendly and the animals were delightful. It also had a lovely swimming pool. They have solar, so loadshedding wasn't an issue except for water, but they had a generator for that.

A lovely comfortable room set in a beautiful, peaceful location and the host was absolutely delightful - we stayed here on our way from Cape Town to Kgalagadi and it was the perfect stop over!

Maskam is beautiful. Great location with stunning views of the dam and majestic mountains. We loved the fresh linen and towels.
The gravel road to the farm is well maintained, making the last leg of the trip fun and enjoyable.

We loved the isolation and distance from the city so that we could have a clear view of the night sky (before the clouds rolled in). We especially loved the freshly baked Sourdough bread we could order from our hostess Ancarene, delicious with her home-made jams.
There was nothing we disliked.

Unfortunately we only stopped by for 1 day, but it was genuinely amazing to wake up to that beautiful view.
I didn't know the access road would have been dirt road, i may have done things differently maybe.
4.5 / 5.0
Great remote location near Vanrhynsdorp, friendly and homely accommodation in well-equipped chalets within the extensive farm grounds surrounded by majestic mountains. The two trails (walk or drive) within the valley had beautiful flowers and birds and the drive up the very scenic Gifberg pass was fabulous. Breakfast and dinner were very good.
The road from Vanrhynsdorp is largely unsealed but perfectly OK for our 2WD.
Dinner was excellent and substantial, we were asked in advance of any allergies etc but then understandably there is no choice. Lamb features heavily and it was wonderful.
