Authentic, hospitable, beautiful and cosy getaway! Loved every moment. Narina and Danie are amazing hosts; they made the entire journey special and ensured we had everything we would need. The accommodation was cosy and comfortable, had beautiful views of the Karoo, and had wonderful hiking spots and history. Narina invited us in for coffee to get to know us and made our stay special. She and Danie are kind, hospitable, and welcomed us to their farm with open arms. The drive was fairly easy, and although it was a 34 km drive on dirt roads, our Fiesta handled it well, and the roads were mostly easy to drive. We saw plenty of animals along the way and enjoyed every moment. The house was solar powered, so charging phones was easy, and there was a lovely deck and braai area that had a gorgeous sunset view. The house was warm, and Narina provided all the essentials, some at a reasonable extra cost if you wanted homemade extras. We absolutely loved it and will be back! We've recommended it to our family and friends for a lovely escape.

Tranquility. Very nice and peaceful environment. Here you forget about everything and just experience nature with all its sounds. Two friendly and hospitable people.

Had a great time. Lovely stay in the Ribbok cottage, will definitely visit again. Upon arrival there was also a swimming pool set up which is not in the photos - lovely surprise in the Karoo heat.

Charming Karoo stay. We had a lovely stay in the Karoo. The family was extremely friendly, and the farm is adorned with a beautiful variety of rocks scattered across the landscape. We also enjoyed a scenic 21 km bicycle ride through the farm.

Rest and peace with nature making music and God painting the sky! Karoo sunshine, crackling fire and wine after a busy year is what my husband and I wanted to experience. And that's exactly what we experienced. The house is well equipped. At the end of a hot day, the dam that has been converted into a swimming pool served its purpose well while we watched the sunshine with the sheep.

Incredible experience. The dirt road drive to the farm is part of the experience - long, but a very beautiful environment. Special people on the farm. The farm experience for the children was an unexpected bonus. They were able to feed lambs, calves and pigs. Very nice, neat little house in which we stayed. Kitchen was well equipped. I highly recommend the Karoo "ja-koos" to quietly look at the stars after dark.

Beautiful Karoo, hospitable people, great braai and sleep. Very nice stay, the beautiful house was neat and had everything we needed for a nice braai and a good night's sleep. The gravel road is longer than we expected but was in good condition and worth the effort. Friendly hospitable people.

Peaceful. Campsite was great, with a bay area. Bathroom neat and tidy, hosts go out of their way to welcome you and make you feel at home. Very peaceful setting. It feels like a long road to get there, but worth it.
