I would definitely stay at Ricky's Drify Vegan Farm again. I had a wonderful stay. The hostess/owners went absolutely out of their way to ensure my comfort. They provided me with a full vegan meal on very short notice which was delicious.

Ek sal baie beslis weer by Ricky's Drify Vegan Farm gaan bly. Ek het verskriklik lekker gebly. Die gasvrou/eienaars het absoluut uit hul pad gegaan om my gemak te vir seker. Hulle het vir my 'n volle vegan maaltyd verskaf op 'n baie kort kennisgewing wat verskriklik lekker was.

Delight in the hills. Welcoming, private, adventurous, warm, heartfelt! The touch of a fruit plate with the most delicious granadillas and bananas was awesome. Thank you for the care.

Serenity at its best. If you are looking for a tranquil off the beaten track stay, this is the place for you. Louise, the host, is an absolute gem; her hospitality is second to none. The surroundings are peaceful and the scenery is breathtakingly beautiful. It truly gives you peace of mind and rest for your soul from the hustle and bustle of the city. I could go on.

Heaven on earth. Getting away from it all is the greatest treasure of Ricy's Drift Vegan Farm. Louise was an excellent hostess. Beautiful decor that makes you feel at home with everything you need. Stay long enough to enjoy the hiking trails.

Om van alles weg te kom is die grootste skat van Ricy's Drift Vegan Farm. Louise was 'n uitstekende gasvrou. Pragtige dekor wat jou laat tuisvoel met alles wat jy nodig het. Bly lank genoeg om staproetes te kan geniet.

Absolutely amazing. This stay was food for the soul, and the views were just breathtaking! It was our first time in the Karoo, and we did not want to leave. We can't wait to visit Ricky's Drift Vegan Farm again. We love the different options of cottages, and we love Ricky and Louise!

Interesting. Nice house in a remote location that suited our needs. Just wish there was wood and that WiFi information was directly available. But it's definitely not for everyone.

Interessant. Mooi huis op 'n afgelee plek wat ons behoeftes gepas het. Wens net daar was hout en dat WiFi-inligting sommer direk beskikbaar was. Maar dit is beslis nie vir enigeen nie.

Unforgettable experience at this beautiful place, I will be longing to return! This is one of the most beautiful places I have stayed in. The farm is pure Africa, with beautiful views of the mountains and walking trails on the property itself. The hosts are very friendly and helpful, and I could order some food (all vegan in this case) which was plentiful and delicious. I stayed here for 8 days and was sad to leave afterwards. The road is a bit rough to get there, so one has to drive carefully, but one gets used to it and it's no problem.

Best quiet getaway in the Karoo. Very nice stay, nicest front porch and back porch. Good beds and bedding. Everything has a farm feeling. Beautiful view and the silence is indescribably nice. Hiking trails are very nice, not too easy, but nice view.

Beste wegbreek stilte in die Karoo. Baie lekker gebly, lekkerste voorstoep en agterstoep. Goeie beddens en beddegoed. Alles is 'n plaasgevoel. Mooi uitsig en die stilte is onbeskryflik lekker. Staproetes is baie lekker, nie te maklik nie, maar mooi uitsig.

Not enjoyable. There was no mention of an almost a 2 hour drive on a gravel road. They should advise it's a 4x4 terrain to get to accommodation. Our car exhaust got damaged and the motorbike on the trailer also due to the road. We left the accommodation a day earlier due to having the exhaust fix as before the garages close for new year's day. There was nobody to put our complaint to. The town itself was very nice and good food.

We are sorry that you did not enjoy your stay. Vanwyksdorp and the surrounding area is known for its rugged mountain passes and gravel roads and is popular with dirt bike riders and mountain bikers. We advertise the farm as a destination for hikers. Our listing is full of panoramic overviews of the farm, showing that it is in a remote mountain area. It is not advisable to arrive here with a road bike, designed for tar, loaded on a flatbed, being pulled by a sedan vehicle.
