Come visit to experience the description for yourself - no words! Aarfontein, Glashuis in particular, is in a special location to realize how incredible nature is. You are so remote with your stay that the sky embraces you on the Highlands and you can really sit and stare into the distance while the silence roars in your ears! This is where you get away, even from yourself! The two boys (5 & 7 yrs) could not discover enough on the Karoo plains! The hospitality and care were very good! Thank you very much!

Kom besoek om die beskrywing self te ervaar - geen woorde! Aarfontein, Glashuis veral, is op 'n besondere ligging om te besef hoe ongelooflik die natuur is. Jy is so afgeleë met jou verblyf dat die hemelruim jou omhels op die Hoogland en jy kan werklik die vertes sit en instaar terwyl die stilte in jou ore raas! Dit is hier waar jy wegkom, selfs van jouself! Die twee seuns (5 & 7 jr) kon nie genoeg ontdek op die Karoovlaktes nie! Die gasvryheid en sorg was baie goed! Baie dankie!

A place of peace and silence close to the stars. Stayed for a weekend, need a 4x4 to access the Glass House from the farm, 50-minute trip 5km long. The accommodation was in a respectable state. Loved the views, stillness, stargazing. The wind can be a little hectic and restrict outside activities at different times of the day due to the altitude being roughly 1683m above sea level. Well worth the trip and to experience this place. If you want to be with nature, adventurous and sleep in an enclosed glass pane environment, then this is the place to experience. December to February is the hottest months, but be prepared to experience 8 degrees in the early hours of the morning, so bring some warm clothing.

Unique place for adventurers. The glass house is exceptional with a great location and fantastic views. The farm is 75 km from Sutherland and 69 km from Fraserburg (dirt roads), so make sure you bring enough supplies (including drinking water, wood and ice). Although there is an indoor braai and small fireplace, no wood was provided. Also be aware that the glass house is only accessible by a proper 4x4 vehicle with high ground clearance. We arrived at the farmhouse in a Renault Duster AWD and the farm manager was fortunately kind enough to transport us from the farmhouse to the glass house and back.

Unieke plek vir avontuurlustiges. Die glashuis is uitsonderlik met 'n puik ligging en fantastiese uitsigte. Die plaas is 75 km vanaf Sutherland en 69 km vanaf Fraserburg (grondpaaie), so maak seker jy neem genoeg voorraad saam (ook drinkwater, hout en ys). Alhoewel daar 'n binnebraai en klein kaggel is, was geen hout voorsien nie. Wees ook bewus dat die glashuis slegs deur 'n behoorlike 4x4 voertuig met hoë grondvryhoogte bereikbaar is. Ons het tot by die plaashuis gekom met 'n Renault Duster AWD en die plaasbestuurder was gelukkig gaaf genoeg om ons te vervoer vanaf die plaashuis tot by die glashuis en terug.

Adventurous. Host did not know about our booking at Aarfontein Karoo Hoogland. The website did not inform him. We had to sit at the farmhouse for 2 hours and wait for them to go and clean the Ver house and get it ready for guests. We were only able to unload and start relaxing at 18:00. There is also no indication on your website that a 4 X 4 vehicle is needed to get there.

Avontuurlik. Gasheer het nie geweet van ons bespreking by Aarfontein Karoo Hoogland nie. Die webtuiste het hom nie in kennis gestel nie. Ons moes 2 ure by die plaashuis sit en wag vir hulle om die Ver huisie te gaan skoon en reg kry vir gaste. Het eers 18:00 kon aflaai en begin ontspan. Daar is ook geen aanduiding op julle webtuiste dat n 4 X 4 voertuig nodig is om daar te kom nie.

Neat and beautiful. The house was nice and neat. There is no signal, but that doesn't matter. The view is breathtaking. The road to the farm is very bad and not suitable for a regular or even a cross country type car (this is before the road to the glass house).

Netjies en mooi. Die huisie was mooi en netjies. Daar is geen sein nie, maar dit maak nie saak nie. Die uitsig is asemrowend. Die pad tot by die plaas is baie sleg en nie geskik vir 'n gewone of selfs 'n cross country tipe motor nie (dit is nog voor die pad na die glashuis).

An adventure. This is definitely a place we will visit again, and for longer in the future! We stayed in the Glass House - and it definitely requires a 4x4 to get there. There is beautiful accommodation near the farmhouse, which looks just as idyllic!

'n Avontuur. Dit is beslis 'n plek wat ons weer, en langer gaan besoek in die toekoms! Ons het in die Glashuis tuisgegaan - en dit het beslis 'n 4x4 nodig om daar uit te kom. Daar is wel pragtige verblyf naby die plaashuis, wat net so idillies lyk!
