Peaceful stay in beautiful surroundings. Atmospheric stay in a historic cottage surrounded by unspoilt nature. Russel's knowledge of the history of the farm and nature contributed to a wonderful weekend.

Rustige verblyf in 'n mooi omgewing. Atmosferiese verblyf in 'n historiese huisie omring deur ongerepte natuur. Russel se kennis van die geskiedenis van die plaas en die natuur het bygedra tot 'n heerlike naweek.

Restorative, calm, beautiful. Absolutely perfect. I love the area, and I love the way Russell has furnished the guest houses.

Wonderful getaway. We had a wonderful stay! It was a perfect getaway from the city for a few days with a beautiful view and comfortable accommodation. We will definitely visit again.

Wonderlike wegbreek. Ons het heerlik gebly! Dit was 'n perfekte wegbreek uit die stad vir 'n paar dae met 'n pragtige uitsig en gemaklike blyplek. Ons sal beslis weer gaan kuier.

Idyllic and old-world cottage with charming interior. A very pleasant stay in a restored cottage with the atmosphere of bygone times. Ideal for a few days of silence and solitude. The boomslang near the front door when we arrived, the night owl's call at 9 pm, and the geese and macaws around the cottage in the morning when we left in bright sunlight, will stay with us for a long time.

Idilliese en ouwêreldse huisie met bekoorlike interieur. Alte lekker gebly in 'n gerestoureerde huisie met vergange tye se atmosfeer. Ideaal vir 'n paar dae van stilte en eenkant wees. Die boomslang naby die voordeur met ons aankoms, die naguiltjie se geroep teen 9 nm, en die ganse en makoue rondom die huisie die oggend met ons vertrek in helder sonlig, sal ons lank bybly.

Excellent for those seeking peace and quiet. Highly recommended, excellent accommodation and hospitality from both, just the best. The house has been restored to its old-world charm and the quiet is exactly what we were looking for.

Uitstekend vir die wat rus en stilte soek. Hoogs aanbeveel, uitstekende verblyf en gasvryheid van albei, net van die beste. Die huis is herstel soos in die ou dae en die stilte is presies waarna ons gesoek het.

Perfect old cottage with all the facilities you need. Just outside the quaint village of Van Wyksdorp, this is the ideal country getaway if you want to lose yourself in the Klein Karoo.
