Want to get away from the noise and buz of town then this is the place to be. Should you enjoy farm stays then this is the best. This was not our first and it won't be the last. We requested a bigger unit (wich we did not pay for) just for some space after a long day on the road and our wishes were answered 😀 and the best part is our small doggy child is always welcome.

“With a bit of maintenance and diamond mesh fencing around the individual units, it could be a winner”
The location is great and the dinner was great. Did not have breakfast.

“Lovely!”
It was a lovely family vibe with plenty of space for our toddler to play and swim. Ideal stopover for a family travelling between Jhb and Cape Town.

It does not look like the pictures on the site at all. The pool was so dirty. Just continue on and sleep somewhere else.

“Enjoyed our stay. Room was comfortable and most importantly, our 13 year old labrador was welcome!”
We did not stay for breakfast, but we had the dinner and drinks the night before. We felt that the menu is a bit over priced for what was served. I had the lamb curry which was very average (not much curry) and my wife opted for the green salad. Food was edible but not worth the price. We enjoyed our room and have no issues. Will definitely stay there again.

“A lovely oasis of tranquility and calm in the middle of the Karoo!”
What more do you want after a long day of traveling…a pool, your own dogs running free, aircon and a “home cooked” meal!
