Lovely and very neat accommodation in beautiful surroundings. We had a great stay in the farmhouse, everything was perfect and very neat. Linkie was a very friendly hostess who welcomed us when we arrived. We ordered dinner and it was delicious and beautifully presented. I would definitely recommend staying on the farm. The surroundings are beautiful and very peaceful. A treat for the soul!

Lieflike en baie netjiese verblyf in pragtige omgewing. Ons het baie lekker in die plaashuis gebly, alles was perfek en baie netjies. Linkie was 'n baie vriendelike gasvrou wat ons ingewag het toe ons gearriveer het. Ons het aandete bestel en dit was lekker en keurig voorgesit. Ek sal beslis verblyf op die plaas aanbeveel. Die omgewing is pragtig en baie rustig. 'n Lafenis vir die siel!

Great hospitality. Our time at Fairbairn was just too short. It's so peaceful in the mountains and before you know it, there's a fire burning for you to enjoy. Great hospitality.

Puik gasvryheid. Ons tyd by Fairbairn was net te min. Dis so rustig in die berge en voor jy kon kyk, is daar 'n vuur wat brand vir jou om te geniet. Puik gasvryheid.

Fantastic! This guesthouse can definitely be recommended. It's a picture-perfect setting and the hostess is from the books.

Fantasties! Hierdie gastehuis kan vir seker aanbeveel word. Dis 'n prentjie mooi omgewing en die gasvrou uit die boeke.

We only stayed here one night. Our hostess made us feel welcome right away. The fire was burning and the house was nice and warm. Great breakfast!

Ons het net een aand hier gebly. Ons gasvrou het ons dadelik welkom laat voel. Die vuur het gebrand en die huis was lekker warm. Puik ontbyt!

Exactly what we needed. Beautiful farm with good views. The road is a bit of a struggle in the wet, but an SUV had no issues. Linky put us in the house as it was available and made us a delicious dinner.

Quiet and comfortable with everything you might need. Wonderfully peaceful. Couldn't get enough of Coal Stove in the kitchen and braailapa. Will definitely visit again.

Rustig en gerieflik met alles wat jy mag benodig. Heerlik rustig. Kon nie genoeg kry van Koolstoof in die kombuis en braailapa. Sal beslis weer besoek.

We arrived in the dark, and had to drive again early, but had a great stay. Thank you for the extra effort to set the table and light the oven. It made us feel very welcome.

Ons het in die donker arriveer, en moes vroeg weer ry, maar het heerlik gebly. Dankie vir die ekstra moeite om die tafel te dek, en die oond aan te steek. Dit het ons baie welkom te laat voel.

We had a very comfortable stay-over and our host, Linky, was warm and welcoming. Linky's attention to detail was excellent, ensuring we had all we needed during loadshedding. We are sorry that our stay-over was one night only as there is so much more to explore. We will definitely revisit the farm.
