• "Flower break away"

  21 August 2020

  "Friendly hosts. Cleaning of chalet not done. A bit more attention to the general housekeeping is needed. Area not yet too many flowers but on our travels to Strandfontein and the next day home via Veldrift we saw beautiful patches of flowers.<br/><br/>Establishments response:<br/><br/>Cottages are self-catering and guests are supposed to tend to the cottage during their stay. Housekeeping are done after guests has left."

  04 December 2017

  "Such a wonderful stay here. 5 nights. Utter relaxation.Sakkie and Marietjie are amazing hosts, very friendly and helpful, and good conversation!If you're coming here out of season, be warned it's hot, but since we expected all that anyway, we found it such an amazing time. Still plenty to see - especially at night. And what a view!If you're interested in star watching, it's a great spot, and they even have a red-lit platform to mount your telescopes.I definitely recommend and can't wait to visit there again!"

  "We had an enjoyable stay in the lovely secluded and remote cottage. Being away from the big city lights we were able to see millions of stars which were amazing and a real treat. <br/>The peace and quiet were so good for the soul.<br/>There were many thoughtful things that made our stay more comfortable.<br/>It was just a pity that our stay was not longer.<br/>Thank you Sakkie and Marietjie for your hospitality. <br/>If we have the opportunity, we will be back.<br/>September 2016<br/>"

• "Wonderful Stay"

  22 September 2016

  "Absolutely charming weekend at Lankverwacht. The converted caravan was warm, snug, and in excellent condition - absolutely perfect for four friends on a roadtrip. The amenities were all very comfortable and convenient. As we were about to leave, we noticed that our car's bumper had come loose, but our friendly hosts came to the rescue, quickly fixed us up, and helped us get back on the road. Would definitely recommend."

• "Special"

  06 September 2016

  "Wish we had been there longer. Sweet little private cottage on the mountain. Private quiet and very special. Lovely hosts who went out of their way to show us some of the variety of plants that grow on the farm. Loved the chocolates on the bed!"

• "Cute cottage in a beautiful setting"

  01 June 2016

  "We only spent one night at Lankverwacht Guestfarm but had a brilliant time! The views from the farm are stunning, and we saw some amazing birds from the comfort of our verandah. The cottage itself is charming and comfortable (good value for money), and even though we did not get to meet the hosts, Sakkie &amp; Marietjie, in person, they were so warm and hospitable in our dealings with them. Highly recommended and looking forward to going back ourselves!"

• "Basic But Comfortable"

  10 January 2016

  "We had a lovely one night stop over on the way home. The owners were friendly and the cottage was clean and neat. It is a very basic cottage, but has everything you need. It has also been thoughtfully constructed for protection against the wind and faces away from the road towards a great mountain view. Just right as a stop over! Remember the mosquito repellent - they are there in abundance!!"

• "excellent location, nice cottage"

  14 March 2015

  "We stayed two nights at this lovely cottage and wished we had stayed longer. The cottage is well appointed and very private. You can walk around the farm and see some of the many nice succulent plants.<div>The skies were very dark and we had some of the best star gazing during our 32 day trip here. We were able to do a bit of astro-photography while staying here.</div><div>Not far from the town if you need to get anything. The water has a bit of a taste so it is best to bring plenty of drinking water. Other than that everything about this place was great including our friendly hosts.<span style="line-height: 1.5;">A relaxing and quiet place in a beautiful setting.</span></div>"

• "One of the best places we have stayed at in South Africa"

  11 February 2015

  "A beautiful location, total privacy and stunning surroundings make this a very special place to stay for a while. The cottage was fully equipped and even though it did not have AC, the summer nights were fairly cool so it was not needed.<div><br /></div><div>Very nice hosts. The skies are fairly dark at this location so if you don't have clouds, the stargazing is excellent. We did a bit of Astrophotography just outside our patio, which was very convenient. In summer the vegetation is dry yet the scenery is still nice. You are able to walk and explore at leisure sine the terrain is fairly open. Many nice succulent plants. During the wetter times of the year the vegetation would look very green and succulent.</div><div><br /></div><div>The hosts have put together a guide of some of the plants in their farm and it is a very useful guide. During the flower season you are able to see many kinds of beautiful blooms.</div><div><br /></div><div>We would return to this place and stay longer if we get the chance.</div>"

• "A quiet refuge"

  11 October 2014

  "The cottage faces the mountains and is set in natural vegetation. It is well appointed and comfortable. Useful outside braai and fireplace. Hosts Sakkie and Marietjie welcomed us warmly and went out of their way to anticipate our needs. They provided useful information and maps of the area. Towels changed after two days."

• "A quiet refuge from the city."

  11 October 2014

  "A comfortable and quiet cottage, well appointed, facing the mountains, easily accessible to Van Rhynsdorp and Niewoudtville and their contrasting landscapes . We had a restful stay there. Hosts Sakkie and Marietjie were most welcoming and anticipated our needs. Towels changed after two nights. We recommend Lankverwacht Guestfarm!"

• "Overnight stay"

  08 September 2014

• "More visitor Comforts!"

• "Very nice place to stay"

  08 February 2014

  "We very much enjoyed our stay at Lankverwacht Guestfarm! Sakkie and Marietjie are excellent hosts and the farm is beautiful with many very nice plants to be discovered. The birds in the morning and the stars at night were also highlights. We want to come back during the flower season!"

• "Secluded retreat"

  23 December 2013

  "Peaceful tranquil environment. Beautiful views of the mountain range. At nighttime a showcase of stars. Leaves one with a feeling of total peace and make you forget all your worries. Vanrhyn'spass a must."

• "A peaceful, beautiful location"

  12 October 2013

  "We only spent one night at the cottage on our whirlwind tour, but really appreciated the personal touches,- being welcomed and seen on our way the next day, and the tourist information leaflets. The cottage is in a pretty setting, was very comfortable and offered every amenity a person could want. Thank you to our hosts."

• "Really recommend!"

  01 October 2013

  "This is a guestfarm with absolutely stunning grounds and views and really friendly, welcoming hosts. We very much enjoyed our stay."

• "Very nice"

  04 September 2013

  "Very nice, except for the mothball smell"

• "Lankverwacht Guestfarm"

  26 August 2013

  "A rustic house that provides the necessary amenities for a night over. Unfortunately for us there was a problem with the hot water system and we could not have a hot shower that night (temperature outside was +- 8 degrees Celsius). The owner did try to accommodate us the next morning by offering us a shower in his private residence. If you are looking for peace and quiet, then this is the place to go."

• "Private and cosy"

  27 July 2013

  "We really enjoyed our night in this cosy little cottage. Watched the full moon rise over the hill. Remote beautiful farm. Very friendly and helpful hosts."

• "Restoring your equilibrium"

  12 July 2013

  "The photos of this cottage fail to do it justice and I wish this unassuming cottage could remain a secret. This rustic, well equipped place is ideally located withthe mountain forming the backdrop and the wide open spaces on the opposite side. The typically spectacular West Coast sunset can be fully savoured from this vantage point while you unwind with your braai fire. After meeting the owners and staying in the cottage, I am convinced that the desire to share their appreciation of nature rather than financial gain motivates them to make this cottage available."

• "Our stay"

  30 June 2013

  "Peaceful surroundings, friendly hosts. Would of preferred two people instead of four as the house is quite tiny. Our boys had a blast though as they enjoyed walking up the hills and collecting "fossils"Its perfect for a family if you are willing to squash a bit with sleeping arrangements. Otherwise clean and comfortable. Thank you!"

• "Highly recommended"

  10 April 2013

  "Stunning location, perfectly positioned half way between Nieuwoudtville and Vanrhynsdorp. Great view, very cozy cottage, no flowers in March so we'll be back for those. We spent both nights on the vintage Airflex sleeper couch on the stoep, which proved to be very comfortable ! Sakkie and Marietjie are perfect hosts, accomodating and friendly, enquiring about your needs but not overbearing as some hosts can be! We stayed 2 nights and will definitely be back for flower season. Thanks Sakkie and Marietjie !"

• "Wonderful"

  16 September 2012

  "An unexpected, wonderful experience! So peaceful, only two days on the farm made us feel as if we had been on holiday for a whole two weeks. The flowers were magnificent, the stars at night bright and clear, the vistas wonderful."

• "Lankverwacht Gasteplaas"

  30 August 2012

  "Lekker ruim huisie in die veld, ver van alles wat geraas maak, maar naby genoeg mooi plekke om te sien op mens se stappies of ritte. Die kaggelvuur het die laatwinter koue verdryf en die stoep gee die nodige koelte in die hitte van die dag. Sakkie en Marietjie sien goed om na hulle gaste."

• "Tranquillity"

  10 April 2012

  "Tranquillity is a good summary of the stay. Nice and private as well."
