A quiet, close to nature getaway. This is a place for those who like nature and like to stay in a place that is rustic and quiet. In terms of nature, the birds are plentiful, and the animals that live underground are abundant. It is a small working farm, and the owners are friendly and hospitable. The cottage has a lovely braai area - lots of wood - and everything a couple or small family will need, and at suppertime the sheepdog will visit for a while. Watch your head - the doorways are built for dwarves and hobbits. The Berg River is great to swim in, and you can fish as well. And Laaiplek has a great fish restaurant and is definitely worth a visit.

Peaceful comfortable getaway. Beautiful old cottage with lots of character. A very peaceful setting away from the hustle and bustle of a town. The owners were very friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. The cottage had everything we needed, including wood and firelighters for our braai.

Quiet, quality family time, walking on the farm. We had a great time on the farm. A quick drive from Cape Town to enjoy the quiet of the farm. Our 5 year old son had a great time cycling on the farm while we relaxed on the porch. There was plenty of braai wood available so we could make a nice fire. We were able to move around the farm and visit all the animals. We will definitely be back often for the beauty and tranquility of the farm.

Rustig, kwaliteit familie tyd, stap op die plaas. Ons het baie lekker gekuier op die plaas. 'n Vinnige ry van Kaapstad om die stilte van die plaas te kan geniet. Ons 5-jarige seun het heerlik fiets gery op die plaas terwyl ons op die stoep ontspan het. Daar was lekker braaihout beskikbaar sodat ons 'n lekker vuur kon maak. Ons kon rondbeweeg op die plaas en al die diere besoek. Ons gaan vir seker gereeld terugkom vir die mooi en rustigheid van die plaas.

Best ever! And I've been to many places. The best time ever. Kids didn't ask for phones once. Helped farm together. Shed sheep, gave lambs milk. Gave cattle food. Drove tractor (and farm bakkie). Swimmed in river. House is perfectly set up with weather coming soon. Even my youngest cries over Uncle Giel and the lambs!

Beste ooit! En ek was al baie plekke. Die beste tyd ooit. Kinders nie een keer vir fone gevra. Het gehelp saam boer. Skape aangejaag, lammers melk gegee. Beeste kos gegee. Trekker gery (en plaasbakkie). In rivier geswem. Huisie is puik uitgerig met weer binnekort. Tot my jongste huil oor Oom Giel en die lammers!

Welcoming, peaceful, well equipped. From making the booking right until we left, the hostess was an absolute gem in communication! Her friendly voice notes guiding us to the farm, warm welcome hug and caring personality deserve a mention. Host shared nuggets of information on the farm's history, surrounding farms and struck the perfect balance in conversation while we were braaing, and his insights, being an ex-lecturer and still very clued up to the education system and its many challenges. The cottage itself has everything you will need for a few days' stay, and although there is limited network, it afforded us the perfect breakaway to unwind and ponder the wonders of nature in its peaceful surrounds. We rather liked the separation of rooms, the rustic walls and the simple but very well-equipped cottage. Rinkie the border collie popped around at times and is very well behaved. The free-range chickens and lambs we saw all seem so relaxed and totally unperturbed by us visiting their home. Sitting on the bench under the widest tree in all of the Sandveld area was both calming and soothing, and I wondered about the tales this gigantic tree would tell. We were a bit sad to leave the tranquility of Jantjieskraal, and to me that is always a sign that it's a place worth visiting again. The hostess sent us home with more organic eggs. (Almost forgot to mention that we had fresh farm eggs, drinking water, firelighters and an ample supply of wood welcoming us.) And if after the many different directions you could explore, you are still bored, there's a selection of games, cards, Scrabble, dominoes, dice and Uno cards, a kerem board (kind of like pool but with flat pucks), magazines and books to keep you entertained, and I would have no qualms recommending Jantjieskraal to anyone just wanting to get away from the concrete jungle, social media and city life, without it being too far to travel to. A definite yes in recommendation from myself.

Lovely peaceful weekend. Very nice stay with friendly and very helpful service. There was good communication in advance with everything. There was enough braai wood for a nice fire, a big plus. The environment has a lot of variety of birds. Thank you very much for your friendly care and chats.

Heerlike rustige naweek. Baie lekker gebly met vriendelike en baie behulpsame diens. Daar was goed gekommunikeer vooraf met alles. Daar was genoeg braaihout vir 'n lekker vuur, 'n groot pluspunt. Omgewing het baie verskeidenheid voëls. Baie dankie vir jul vriendelike sorg en geselsies.

Peaceful relaxation. Very friendly hosts, 2 separate units connected by an open stoep (patio): kitchen/lounge and bedroom/bathroom. Very peaceful, a birding paradise.

Quiet and just what we needed, away from the hustle and bustle of life. Everything was neat and tidy and our guests were top notch. They made us feel comfortable and if anything was needed, they were there to help. The supply of wood and blitz and just a whole pack of ice was extra special. Only minor inconvenience was the double bed. The base cracked a bit and I felt the inner springs of the mattress. Was a bit uncomfortable.

Rustig en net wat ons nodig gehaad het, weg van die gewoel van die lewe. Alles was mooi netjies en ons gaste, was uit die boonste rakke uit. Ons lekker gerus laat voel en indien enigiets nodig, was hul daar om te help. Die verskaf van hout en blitz en sommer hele pak ys, was ekstra spesiaal. Enigste klein ongerief was die dubbelbed. Die basis het so bietjie gekraak en ek het die matras se binnevere gevoel. Was bietjie ongemaklik.

If you need silence in style, Jantjieskraal is the place to be. It was just two days of peace and rest. We were received with open arms. Nothing out of place. Had a great sleep, made a big fire and just relaxed on Jantjieskraal's yard. It's our people. Thank you for such a privilege!

Wie stilte in styl nodig het, is Jantjieskraal die plek om te wees. Dit was sommer net twee dae van vrede en rus. Ons is met ope arms ontvang. Niks uit plek uit nie. Heerlik geslaap, groot vuur gemaak en net ontspan op Jantjieskraal se werf. Dis onse mense. Dankie vir so 'n voorreg!
