Beautiful. Isolated. Authentic. I'll come again! Our hostess was there to meet us and show us around her historical cottage. A spectacular entrance of more than twenty kilometres of lovely smooth dirt road led to the pretty cottage. I could have stayed a week. It has a fireplace in the kitchen area which we enjoyed. The kids loved the decor, and we loved the historical photos in the books. We felt very, very happy in this cottage. This is why travelling in South Africa is such fun, discovering gems like this. I can highly recommend this cottage. We came away with a selection of preserves.

Onvergeetlike, rustige wegbreek. Rhenostervalley is 'n pragtige, outentieke Karoo-huis met 'n ryk geskiedenis wat selfs in 'n boek vasgevang is – heerlik om te lees tydens ons verblyf. Die huis is stylvol en volledig toegerus – jy kort regtig niks nie. Alles is netjies, skoon en huislik; dit voel soos 'n geliefde familiehuis met karakter en warmte. Dit was besonders om vir 'n slag sonder selfone en internet te wees – die stilte en eenvoud van die plaaslewe bring 'n mens tot rus. Ons het heerlik gestap en ’n rustige piekniek langs die stroom verder af in die kloof gehou. Die lapa en binnebraai is ideaal vir gesellige kuiers. Tannie het ook 'n lekker verskeidenheid ingelegte produkte aangebied wat ons kon aankoop – alles heerlik tuisgemaak. Dit is grondpad tot by die plaas, maar ek het dit maklik met my Polo Vivo gemaak. Die rit vanaf die sterrewag tot by Rhenostervalley is absoluut asemrowend – ons het verskeie kere gestop om foto’s van die landskap te neem. ’n Ware stukkie Karoo-rus en inspirasie.

Fantastic. Enjoyed it immensely. Anna Marie was extremely helpful and explained everything in detail. The warm water bottles were great during the cold nights!

Heavenly. Absolutely peaceful - no TVs, cellphones - bliss!

Plaas kuier onder die sterre! Wonderlike plaas kothuis verblyf! Wens ons kon langer kuier!

Awesome. Mrs Olivier sent through directions and voice messages for directions well in advance. We were warmly greeted and shown around the house. Everything was neat and clean. Beautiful setting and given a short history of the home and farm. It was too cold to sit outside and look at the stars but will for sure go back again. One of the best stays to date.

Awesomeness at its best! We truly enjoyed our stay. Our hosts were gracious and there was nothing that we felt was missing. Everything you could possibly need was there, including breathtaking mornings and superb stargazing around the Lapa bonfire. Access is on a maintained gravel road, although it can be quite rough in some spots for a normal car and there are water crossings to take into account. We took double the GPS time (3 hrs as opposed to 1.5 hrs from the main road) to get to the guest lodge and double time out again as we had to go slow using a normal car.

Stil omgewing. Dit was 'n aangename verblyf. Alles wat jy nodig het, is daar, maar bring jou stoeltjie saam. Daar is slegs sonliggies; geen selfone kan hier gelaai word nie.

Stil, rustig, natuur, wegbreek, sterre. Ons het heerlik gebly op Rhenoster Valley Gasteplaas. Dit was stil en rustig, die uitsigte en die sterre ongelooflik. Die plaashuis dateer uit 1840 en dit is besonders uniek. Ek sal ook definitief die 10 km staproete na Arendkloof aanbeveel. Dit is 'n maklike stap en die uitsigte is asemrowend. As jy wil wegkom van alles, is hierdie die regte plek om heen te gaan.

Baie lekker naweek, mooi plek. Ons het lekker gebly, vriendelike en behulpsame mense.
