Peaceful Karoo farm stay with exceptional stargazing and warm hospitality. Rooikloof Guest Farm is set in a truly magnificent location and is well worth the effort to get there. It’s hard to do justice to the beauty of the surrounding landscape. The night sky in particular is something special. The farm sits about 4 km outside Sutherland, overlooking the town, with a real sense of space and quiet. We stayed in Koesnaatjie Cottage 2, which is beautifully put together, very comfortable, and wonderfully private. Don’t be put off by the lack of electricity — the gas appliances and lanterns make it easy and comfortable to live, and it suits the setting perfectly. If that really is a deal breaker, some of the other accommodation on the farm does have electricity. Janine and Cara are excellent hosts and stayed in regular contact ahead of our visit, which made everything feel easy and well organised. There’s plenty of space for kids to explore and adventure safely on the farm, which adds to the appeal if you’re travelling as a family.

Lovely farm stay, would definitely recommend. Really lovely farm stay just a few minutes from Sutherland. Cara, our host, was warm, friendly and very helpful. The house has everything you need for a wonderful stay. Little bundles of kindling and firelighters were placed in the braais (BBQs) and fireplaces, which made it easier to light. Little touches like the large vase of freshly cut lavender and rosemary on the kitchen table were appreciated.

Delicious, would definitely recommend it. We stayed in Koesnaaitjie no. 1, a beautiful fully equipped cottage. There are even folding chairs and small blankets for sitting outside. We had such a great stay.

Heerlik, sal dit beslis aanbeveel. Ons het in Koesnaaitjie nr 1 gebly, pragtige volledig toegeruste cottage. Daar is tot opvoustoele en klein kombersies vir buite sit. Ons het so lekker gebly.

Pleasant and very peaceful, no outside influence, peaceful and recommended. Very nice with a peaceful atmosphere and close to the village for necessary amenities and restaurants. If you travel and need power, please take a portable power station with you. The road is convenient and passable.

Aangenaam en baie rustig, geen buite invloed nie, rustig en aan te bevele. Baie heerlik met rustige atmosfeer en naby die dorpie vir nodige voordele en restaurante. As jy travel en krag nodig het, neem asb. 'n portable powerstation saam. Pad is gerieflik en begaanbaar.

Stars and silence at Rooikloof. Fantastic weekend away. Fantastic stay! Perfect for peace and quiet and stargazing. Lovely walking trail to the forest.

Sterre en stilte op Rooikloof. Fantastiese naweek weg. Fantastiese verblyf! Perfek vir stilte en sterrekyk. Lieflike staproete na die woud.

What a pleasant surprise, a great well-maintained old farmhouse. We were able to spend the night at the Rooikloof Guesthouse. This was at the end of a three-week tour through the Eastern, Western, and Northern Cape, and truly a highlight! The place is beautifully maintained and very tastefully furnished. The old farmhouse design is beautifully complemented by correct and clearly carefully chosen furniture and decorations. The good stove, fridge, and dishwasher were a pleasant surprise, and we baked delicious scones in the oven. We tell our friends about this pleasant spot and will definitely come again.

Unpractical for cold. I think for the summer the place is fantastic. I would recommend that more details like no electricity are better specified on Lekkslaap so that one can make a better decision. We only stayed 1 night out of the 2 due to the cold weather. The cottage gets incredibly cold during the night.

Onprakties vir koue. Ek dink vir die somer is die plek fantasties. Ek sal wel aanraai dat meer details soos geen krag beter gespesifiseer word op Lekkslaap sodat 'n mens 'n beter besluit kan neem. Ons het net 1 aand van die 2 gebly weens die koue weer. Die huisie word ongelooflik koud deur die nag.

Peaceful, quiet, host was very helpful. Good style. Fantastic visit. Hostess was wonderful and very helpful with any questions. It's a stylish and well thought out cottage with everything you need.

Rustig, stil, gasheer was baie hulpvaardig. Goeie styl. Fantastiese besoek. Gasvrou was wonderlik en baie behulpsaam met enige vrae. Dis 'n stylvolle en goed deurdenkte kothuis met alles wat mens nodig het.
