Top quality meals. Owners live close to nature. One may not drive by. What a wonderful place! The food is top notch and truly 5 star quality. Haven't eaten so well in a long time. The greenhouse with cowslips and other succulents is apparently the largest in Southern Africa and it is an experience to walk through it and be captivated by all the things that one overlooks in the field.

Top gehalte etes. Eienaars leef na aan die natuur. Mens mag nie verbyry nie. Wat 'n wonderlike plek! Die kos is uit die boonste rakke en werklik 5-ster kwaliteit. Lanklaas so lekker geëet. Die kweekhuis met beeskloutjies en ander vetplantjies is blykbaar die grootste in Suidelike Afrika en is 'n belewenis om daar deur te stap en jou te verkneukel aan al die goedjies wat mens in die veld miskyk.

Satisfaction is the word. Very nice. Location is top notch. Good private facilities at each campsite. Just a shame the WiFi is very weak. I, who have to work 'remotely', am dependent on WiFi. Had to use my data on my phone.

Tevredenheid is die woord. Baie lekker. Plek is tops. Goeie privaat geriewe by elke kamp plek. Net jammer die WiFi is baie swak. Ek wat 'remote' moet werk, is afhanklik van WiFi. Moes my data op foon gebruik.

Abundant hospitality. Frikkie and Hilde, made us feel so special. The special effort with our barbecue and the experience of eating under the stars was special for us. The extensive knowledge about the plants of the desert that they share without reservation was enriching. It's not just a place to stay, it's an experience. Thank you very much for the unlimited hospitality from reception to departure.

Oorvloedige gasvryheid. Frikkie en Hilde, het ons so spesiaal laat voel. Die spesiale moeite met ons braai en die ervaring om onder die sterre te eet was vir ons besonders. Die uitgebreide kennis oor die plante van die woestyn wat hulle sonder voorbehoud deel, was verrrykend. Dit is nie net 'n oornagplek nie, dit is 'n belewenis. Baie dankie vir die onbeperkte gasvryheid van ontvangs tot vertrek.

What a refreshing oasis. A well-run, calm, farmlike venue with loads of farming and mining history and a well-reknowned collection of lithop (living stone-like, veld plants) aloes and shrubs with a great story. Their restaurant had a lovely menu and great food. All of the lodges were "unique", private and overlooked a watering hole where all types of game and birdlife could be seen, and viewed, for hours. Enormous, clean, open rooms but not suited for self-catering clients. Not to worry. Great facilities including a relaxing pub, pool and lots of wide open spaces. Not to forget the stars above, often overlooked in the city. Pity we couldn't stay longer, but the fond memories of Alte Kalköfen will remain, forever.

Beautiful stars. Nice stay. Bathrooms are spacious. A few bugs but otherwise good. Would be better if wood was left for our donkey to light when we need it. By the time the food was finished, the water was already cold.

Mooi sterre. Lekker gebly. Badkamers is ruim. Paar goggas maar verder goed. Sal beter wees as hout gelos word dat ons donkie kan aansteek wanneer ons dit nodig het. Teen die tyd wat die kos klaar was, was die water al koud.

Good morning - thank you very much for the feedback. In the sequel, we will hear from clients whether we should leave wood or make a fire. Foreign clients generally prefer us to fire. Hope to see you again in the future. Friendly greeting. Frikkie Mouton.

Goeie more - baie dankie vir die terugvoer. Ons sal in die vervolg by kliente hoor of ons hout moet los of vuur moet maak. Buitelandse kliente verkies oor die algemeen dat ons vuur moet maak. Hoop om u weer in die toekoms te sien. Vriendelike groete. Frikkie Mouton.

Nice homely house in the woods. If you like a quiet environment with a cottage in the woods, this is the place you are looking for. We will definitely stay here again. It's people-people who make you feel homely and at home.

Lekker huislike huisie in die bos. As jy hou van 'n stil omgewing met 'n huisie in die bos, is dit die plek wat jy soek. Ons sal definitief weer hier kom bly. Dis mense-mense wat huislik en tuis laat voel.
