Highly recommended with excellent service. The Karoo is one of a kind! Middelplaas is beautiful and the tranquility is medicine for the soul. The house is equipped with everything you may need.

Hoogs aanbeveel met uitstekende diens. Die Karoo is uniek in sy soort! Middelplaas is pragtig en die rustigheid is medisyne vir die siel. Die huis is toegerus met alles wat jy mag benodig.

Spectacular - Peaceful - Scenic. This was our second visit to the farm and it was perfection to say the least. We had beautiful weather and breathtaking evenings. They literally thought of everything. One of our favourites is the fact that we could leave open all the windows and doors without the concerns of mosquitoes as the window screens have us covered. We went down the river with kayaks and explored the beautiful farm. There are not enough words of how grateful we are.

Hello Yoricq It was wonderful to welcome you back to the Bokwagtershuis. We are glad to hear that you had another amazing stay filled with fun activities, great weather and breathtaking evenings. We appreciate your positive feedback on the window screens. They were mindfully selected to provide guests with the comfort to sleep with the windows open during summer nights to enjoy a cool breeze and admire the beautiful sounds of nature.

A wonderful two days in a special environment! We had a wonderful stay, the feeling of absolute peace was remarkable. The cottage had everything you need, and I would highly recommend it to people who want to forget the outside world for a bit.

'n Heerlike twee dae in 'n besondere omgewing! Ons het heerlik gebly, die gevoel van absolute vrede was merkwaardig. Die huisie het alles gehad wat nodig is, en ek sal dit sterk aanbeveel vir mense wat die wêreld daar buite 'n bietjie wil vergeet.

Good place to switch off and close to Calitzdorp. Middelplaas cottage is set aside and the area is very quiet. Surrounded by beautiful mountains and olive groves. Nice patio with a large wooden table for eating outside.

Goeie plek om af te skakel en naby aan Calitzdorp. Middelplaas cottage is eenkant en die omgewing is doodstil. Omring deur pragtige berge en olyfboorde. Lekker stoep met 'n groot houttafel om buite te eet.

Very impressed. We also felt totally relaxed. We were very impressed with your cottage, the farm and its history. Our friends from Australia were equally charmed. Looks like you may have to get a new guest book.

Restful. Yes. Outdoor showers and indoor braai are favorites.

Rustig. Ja. Buite stort en binnehuise braai is gunstelinge.

Quaint, very rustic and charming. Stayed at the Middelplaas cottage: Quaint, very rustic and charming. With vistas of the mountain ranges, lovely walks and pass-drives, it was a great getaway in the area. The Middelplaas cottage was well appointed and offered easy access to the picnic area and hiking routes. Bedding was very comfortable with extra blankets provided. Very clean WC and great shower. Prepare for rustic furniture, so I’d suggest bringing camping chairs for sitting around the fire pit and perhaps a picnic blanket for chilling on the lawn. Unfortunately, the Middelplaas cottage is in close proximity to the farming road and operations, which resulted in noisy early morning drive-bys by tractors, trucks and farmhands. Not quite the expected tranquil isolation. But in all, it is a pleasant stay especially for the late afternoons and sunsets.

Hello Damian. Thank you for sharing your experience you had at Middelplaas Cottage. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the rustic charm, mountain views and the comfort of the cottage as well as the access to the picnic area and hiking routes. We truly appreciate your note about the nearby farming activity as part of a working valley. We understand that occasional early-morning farm movement can affect the quiet. We will certainly keep exploring ways to minimize the noise. Thank you once again for visiting. We hope to welcome you back in the near future.

But actually very bad actually. The house itself is beautiful, but we will not go there again. First of all, we did not receive any communication from the people. Nothing that says how to get into the house, no explanations of how to get to the house. No advance locations, nothing. We had to drive around and look for it. And it's not nice when you've been on the road all day and just want to rest. We had to stop at other guests to ask for WiFi to get a hold of the people. Then there was also only a little WiFi in one stretch. Eventually we got a code from the people to get into the house. There we wanted to connect to the WiFi, then it didn't work either. Then we drove back to the guests' house for signal, the people from the guesthouse didn't even make any effort to help or anything. And we were looking for a place with WiFi because we had already been off the grid for a week. On top of that, the bed we wanted to sleep on was full of dirt that had fallen from the roof. It's quite possible that there wasn't even anyone there that morning to make sure everything was in order and clean.

Maar eintlik baie sleg eintlik. Die huisie self is mooi, maar ons sal nie weer soontoe gaan nie. Eerstens het ons geen kommunikasie van die mense af gekry nie. Niks wat sê hoe ons in die huis kom nie, niks verduidelikings van hoe om by die huis uit te kom nie. Geen vooraf locations nie, niks nie. Ons moes daar rondry en soek. En dis mos niks lekker as jy al heel dag op die pad was en net wil gaan rus nie. Ons moes by ander gaste stop om te vra vir WiFi om die mense in die hande te kry. Toe is daar ook net op een stuk bietjie WiFi. Eventually het ons 'n kode by die mense gekry om by die huis in te kom. Daar wil ons connect met die WiFi, toe werk die ook nie. Toe ry ons weer na die gaste se huis toe vir sein, die mense van die gastehuis poog nie eers enige moeite aan om te help of niks nie. En ons het juis 'n plek gesoek met WiFi want ons was reeds 'n week van die lyn af. Boonop, dit was die bed waarop ons wou slaap vol vuilgoed wat uit die dak uit geval het. So heel moontlik was daar nie eers iemand daar daardie oggend om seker te maak als is reg en skoon nie.
