Pros:

We loved the tranquil walks through the olive groves and the amazing views in every direction. An amazing slice of paradise surpassed only by the warm hospitality that we received from everyone on the farm.

Cons:

Absolutely nothing.

Het verblijf heeft alles wat je nodig hebt om te ontspannen!
Pros:

De ontvangst was al een warm bad. De kamer, de view, de hulpvaardigheid van het personeel, eigenlijk was het hele plaatje perfect. Bij aankomst kregen we een heerlijke fles wijn, olijfolie en olijven.
's avonds gegeten van het vlees wat we vooraf besteld hadden en wat in de koelkast klaar stond! Dit was zo lekker! Het zwembad met de view was top en ook de vijver waar we heerlijk gezeten hebben met een glas wijn was fantastisch. Eén plek waar je helemaal tot rust kan komen. Een echte aanrader!!
Komen op een ander jaar zeker terug!

Stunning time! Very romantic!
Pros:

The Karoo in December is really hot & dry, Vrisch Gewagt is like an oasis. The cottage had stunning design, very snazzy! We enjoyed the hidden pool with a view, its crazy cool! We explored into the Groot Rivier Kloof, this was off path & a bit rugged, but a stunning adventure. With a sweet natural swimming pool, this is worth the effort.

The olives are so good! I recommend drinking the complementary wine, order lam & extra olives to take home. All are excellent!

So much to do, so little time!
Pros:

The farm is just 30km outside the historic town of Prince Albert, where you can eat like a king, immerse yourself in history and enjoy the splendor, craft and generosity of the Karoo folk (we had a MTB puncture and were referred to ARNO, who met us in town with a replacement tube - not the type of service you'll easily get in big cities - we were bowled over). Our hostess informed us of the Swartberg Pass, which we tackled around 7h30am on our MTB's - we weren't the only ones - it is an ABSOLUTE must, and TOTALLY worth it ... but know that just as you think you're done, there's another climb - the total climb over about 14km is 1000m. The farm itself is glorious - we were able to ride our bikes freely, climbed koppies and swam (in a pristine pool, yes, in the middle of nowhere). The silence was spectacular and stargazing a treat, enjoyed right from your bed through open doors - hard to fall asleep with so much beauty around you.

Cons:

We loved our entire stay.

Best Karoo stay experience and service to match!
Pros:

Beautiful farm and units. All very well equipped for a comfortable stay, easy self-catering and overall a dream Karoo farm-stay.
Management went out of their way to accommodate our changing holiday plans and even assisted with additional accommodation for our convenience.
I cannot say thank you enough for a perfect experience and mini holiday.

Cons:

Too far from home for a quick long weekend 😊
