    Bed a bit short for tall people and mattress a bit soft (certainly not a negative factor if you are ok with it)

    A beautiful accommodation in a great setting. Perfect place to stay when visiting De Hoop nature reserve, which is only minutes away. Very kind hosts and excellent support in planning your De Hoop visit. It is strongly recommended to book dinner and breakfast since there is no restaurant or grocery store nearby. The dinner was very tasty.

    The breakfast although delicious was a little expensive.

    Fabulous location on a working farm just outside de Hoop National Park, the apartment was very spacious and well appointed with a lovely outside seating area. The hosts could not have been more helpful and Niels was very keen to explain all about the rare Cape vultures. The dinner and continental breakfast for which we paid extra were tasty, home cooking.

    Wonderful! We stayed for one night when we visited DeHoop Nature Reserve and were presently surprised. We ordered dinner and breakfast and our host put together something delicious - 10/10. The bed is a bit small so we would recommend couples to stay. The apartment is located on a farm on top of a hill, we watched the sunset and walked through the beautiful gardens. We can absolutely recommend!

    This is no critique concerning the accomodation or the hosts: Just keep in mind you are on a farm in the middle on nature! There might be more flies and insects than elsewhere ;)

    Very idyllic location right on the hosts farm next to their home and close to De Hoop National Park. The house, guest flat and garden are beautifully taken care of. It has a little bit of a „vintage“ flair but has everything you need for a stay. There are not many restaurants close by but home made meals for breakfast and dinner can be optionally booked upfront. The hosts are super kind and helpful. It was quite interesting to learn a little bit about their farm. Unfortunately we could only stay one night but would definetly recommend staying two. :)

    Beautiful farm with nice dogs around, close to de hoop in the middle of wide farmlands. the hosts are really welcoming, helpful and show and explain farmlands and farming, if you are interested in that. Thank you Niel for that interesting nightdrive! The accommodation itself has everything you need. The furnishing is rustic farm like and very authentic with a lot of beautiful little details. You can order order delicious breakfast and lunch which was authentic delicious southafrican meals made by the Saartjie .(we loved your food) If you travel by car, like nature and animals and you are looking for an authentic accommodation as base for hikes and visiting de Hoop, this is the right place

    Access by gravel/ dirt track roads came as a surprise and it is about 40 minutes from DeHoop beach or collection, so lost 1 point for location, otherwise would be a 10!

    Homely atmosphere. comfortable bed. Tasty home cooked traditional SA dinner.

    We loved our stay. Accommodation is great, clean and offers everything you need. Saartjie, the owner welcomed us very warmly and her dinner was excellent! Niel, the other owner showed us the birds , we don't expected so much luck, but he saw them and let us know about it. It was such a great experience! Thanks for everything Niel and Saartjie

    We were warmly welcomed and spent a very comfortable overnight stop. Milk fresh from the cows was in our fridge. The family were very helpful. We would recommend this guest house.

    The apartment is quite big and is very tastefully furnished and decorated. It has everything you need in it, especially the kitchen. We ordered dinner from the house and it was very delicious, the salad and the dessert were also yummy. We ordered vegetarian dishes, which were very lovely. The hosts were open and ready to help.
