Fantastic house, quiet and surrounded by farm animals and nature. Just amazing. Effortless to find and the house was even bigger and better than expected. We spent most of our stay on the porch, watching the horses and sheep in the paddock in front of us.

10/10 would recommend! Absolutely incredible farmhouse stay. It's better than expected in every single way, and we look forward to coming back for the blommetjies next year!

Beautiful house on a beautiful farm. This is our 3rd time staying at the farm, and it was wonderful again. Beautiful house with everything you need.

Pragtige huis op 'n pragtige plaas. Dis ons 3de keer wat ons op die plaas oorbly, en dit was weereens heerlik. Pragtige huis met alles wat nodig is.

Beautiful accommodation among the mountains, far from any noise or hustle and bustle. Absolute peace of mind, the most beautiful scenery, between the mountains, on a working farm. Very well equipped, neat and clean, beautiful decor. We had such a great time around the table on the porch. The outdoor bath, under the stars, was a highlight! It was wonderful to watch the sunset and the stars from there. Our dog had an equally great time. The large yard was fenced and she moved around the house to her heart's content.

Pragtige verblyf tussen die berge, ver van enige geraas of gejaag. Absolute sielerus, die mooiste natuurskoon, tussen die berge, op 'n werkende plaas. Baie goed toegerus, netjies en skoon, pragtige dekor. Ons het so lekker gekuier om die tafel op die stoep. Die buitebad, onder die sterre, was 'n hoogtepunt! Dit was heerlik om die sonsondergang en die sterre van daar te bekyk. Ons hond het ewe lekker gebly. Die groot werf is toegespan en sy het na hartelus om die huis beweeg.

Best farm life. How nice to wake up to horses playing outside, sheep bleating, and the smell of onions rising from the ground! Beautiful!

Beste plaaslewe. Hoe lekker om wakker te word met perde wat buite speel, skaapies wat blêr, en die reuk van uie uit die grond uit! Pragtig!

We stayed one night, it was our halfway stop on the way to Springbok. This is a really nice place. Perfect for a getaway. We would have liked to stay longer, but our travel plans were firmly planned. We would love to come back again just to stay here and explore the area better.

Ons het een aand oorgeslaap, dit was ons halfpad stop op pad Springbok toe. Dit is 'n baie oulike plek. Perfek vir 'n wegbreek. Ons sou graag langer wou bly, maar ons reisplanne was vas beplan. Ons sal graag weer wil terugkom net om hier te bly en die area beter te verken.

It was a lovely break from the city. We will definitely come back to visit. The peaceful atmosphere, beautiful scenery and friendly host made the experience special.

Dit was ’n heerlike wegbreek uit die stad. Ons sal beslis weer kom kuier. Die rustige atmosfeer, pragtige natuurskoon en vriendelike gasheer het die ervaring besonders gemaak.

Easy, convenient, and at home! Handful of Gravel is a gem where silence sings. Where the walls of the beautiful house immediately welcome you, and where the environment itself welcomes you. Experience wonderful hospitality, and every moment was filled with comfort. Words from Leipoldt greet you here. It makes you realize that this discussion is too short for what you actually have time for. Well done, because it comforts a tired soul, and hope the reunion is soon.

Gemaklik, gerieflik, en tuis! Handvol Gruis is 'n juweel waar stilte sing. Waar die mure van die pragtige huis jou dadelik welkom heet, en waar die omgewing jou vanself welkom heet. Wonderlike gasvryheid ervaar, en elke oomblik was gevul met gemak. Woorde van Leipoldt groet jou hier. Dit laat jou besef dat hierdie bespreking te kort is vir waarvoor jy eintlik tyd het. Welgedaan, want dit laaf 'n moeë siel, en hoop die weersiens is gou.
