Klein Doorn Farm Stay

Loved all the places we could make fire, views and amenities where amazing

I would've appreciated an explanation on how the donkey boiler works and more coffee. The cremora was also expired so it split. Also the inside bath doesnt get like nice hot water

Location is stunning and very quiet.

Could do with more plug sockets and an indoor shower.

It's nice and quiet and the view

Just the kitchen tap was dripping lol

The quietness and nature. The farmlands, escaping from the city life.

I Love it all.

Remote location, beautiful view and had everything we needed.

First room being linked to kitchen and having no door.

Easy access, good information available on arrival

N/a

Nature and calmness.

Smelly septic system Gas geyser not working properly for shower, can't use shower To small table and not enough sitting space in kitchen.

It's very peaceful and rustic like you expect

Communication wasnt great

Surrounded by nature - open stars

Great place off the beaten path and very spacious

It smelled a bit damp and furniture I rustic and super basic but that’s also ok for the price.

DID NOT HAVE BREAKFAST. Die omgewing is pragtig en die administrasie puik

Die afwerking in huis vertoon verslons en nie skoon nie. Idees is goed, maar afwerking en netheid daarvan laat veel te wense oor. Mens kry die idee dat die huis inderhaas voltooi is om te begin geld genereer. Die werksmense se werk is volgens my nie gekontroleer nie en hul het met afskeep en gemorswerk weggekom. Gaste behoort voor die tyd ingelig te word dat haardroers nie gebruik kan word en dat water brak is. Die badprop behoort in die badkamer te wees en nie op die kombuis vensterbank nie.

Die stilte was awesome.

It's a. beautiful little cottage, very peaceful and quiet. It does make you feel that you can unwind and relax! The sunrise was very pretty to watch early in the morning!

It did not bother me to read its solar powered, but I think the guests must be warned prior to booking that no other electrical appliances may be used other than charging your cellphone or camera as some ladies needs to use a hairdryer 😅 it is also recommended to maybe put a notice up close to the outdoor shower on how to operate it, not everyone feels like reading through a manual after a long day's travel. Also maybe some more "latte" around the outdoor shower to make you feel a little less exposed! 😜 but other than that, hopefully read as constructive criticism, everything was lovely for a true farm stay!

The best place to just unwind. We absolutely loved staying here. The quiet and sirene landscape was definitely a big thumbs up for us. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend staying here!

The beauty of the Klein Karoo and the peacefull surrounding nature.

I liked the rooms, they were clean and comfortable

The toilet got blocked and couldn't flush properly

This was the best place we stayed during our trip. It is incredibly remote and peaceful. Although 7 cottages are available we were the only guest on the days we stayed and we could really enjoy the silence and quietness of the farm. There is no internet available which makes the experience even better.

Nothing

The view, the stoep, the braai, the beds were comfortable and nicely decorated, the kitchen was stocked with nice crockery,

The wooden chopping board (instead of plastic), the salad bowl was too small for 4 people, every window rattled when the wind picked up, had to shove dish towels and toilet paper in the gaps and go outside to pull the thorn bush away from scratching the gutter, not having an indoor shower, the outside shower only had hot water when you ran the bath's hot tap, the two chairs in the kitchen have no springs left, only one plug near the floor so charging your phones means you have to put them on the floor

Idyllische Lage in der Wüste

Nicht ganz einfach zu erreichen, Ausstattung teilweise etwas in die Jahre gekommen/ kaputt, zB Schiebetür zum Bad

Location was beautiful!exactly what we needed

It was very cold to use the bath and outside shower.

Peace and quiet

Beautiful view.

Beautiful, tranquil setting - simple, clean and comfortable.

Everything was awesome it captured the Karoo magic. Loved the outside shower and all the houses was spaced nicely apart

No fans.

Peaceful stay. The cottage was clean and equipped with the basic needs. They provided us with 5 litres of drinking water which was suggested we bring along and while we did not use, it was a nice touch to find. Bed was very comfortable, great quality linens. Met by staff on arrival. Communication with host was clear and easy. Very comfortable stay.

Gas geyser for outside shower was tricky to get the right water temperature but we still enjoyed.

Nice quiet place to get away from all the noises and busyness. Stunning view to enjoy in the morning and in the night, 4x4 routes with walking routes to enjoy in early morning. Set up really nice and very comfortable and spacious to stay at.

The setting. Man I so looked forward to staying here and it did not disappoint. It is a farm house basically and I personally loved it, outside showers and all.

Just wish it had inside showers because I am not used to showering outside.

We loved the peace and tranquility of the farm. The outdoor shower was a bonus.

Nothing.. 😂

The quietness and beauty of nature was exceptional. To be surrounded by quietness and no wifi was just what we needed

There was no microwave as indicated on the booking list. Would help for meal planning to know what is there. We are non smokers did not have anything to light the gas for coffee.

Everything, I was telling my family that even the quiet is quiet

The silence and definitely the location. Awesome place with awesome and friendly host.

A wonderful place to stay. Quite with nice views. The word PLAAS will some up the stay. it was incredible. Host was very friendly and stay in touch the day of our arrival. They made it an unforgettable exercise for us.

nothing not to like. all was perfect

Prachtige locatie! Even weg van de wereld en de natuur in! Een prachtig verblijf om tot rust te komen!

Er waren, vermoedelijk, muizen in het dak, wat op zich geen probleem is. Maar toen we 's ochtends wakker werden, lagen er keutels in en op ons bed.

We arrived after dark and it not was apparent which room was ours. We had to contact the host.

The hot water in the shower is not consistent, and it was difficult to have a hot shower, balancing between too cold and too hot.

Loved the location... the skies, stars and fields. The quiet was amazing. We also had a visit by some Zebras. Absolutely beautiful setting.

It would have been nice to have a plug in the bedroom and a door between the bedroom and kitchen, but ultimately we made a plan.

Loved the landscape surrounding the unit we stayed in. It is so peaceful there. Everything was very clean, and we wanted to do one of the walking trails but the weather said not today. Definitely had to stay more than 2 nights to fully enjoy it!

A few things I would look at that can be changed, and a few that can’t -The braai is too deep to properly braai; the grill did not work on it luckily we brought our own. -The lighter for the gas stove did not work -The seating was a bit weird, there is an outside table and then two inside chairs, so not really comfortable seating. -Maybe the front can be covered a bit more at the open side for more privacy and against wind Other than these it was truly a great stay!

Very quiet and serene. We travelled there in winter and it was nice and cozy with indoor fireplace. The hike to the kloof on the farm is a good distance and beautiful when you get there.

It would have been great if there were some more game on the farm - eg: a few springbuck etc. We saw Kudu tracks in the kloof down the far end of the farm but nothing out and about roaming near the cottages or in the open plains.

Well located and rustic but comfortable as must be expected.

Requires proper Braai tongs and Braai grid for internal Braai enjoyment in winter.

Friendly and responsive owners, beautiful peaceful setting and quaint 2 bedroom cottage. Accommodated a slightly late check in for us. Gas showers were tricky to use but that's a minor issue. Overall had a very enjoyable stay.

Beautiful area and very relaxing

The cottage is very cold during the winter time. There is only 1 power outlet in the entire cottage. The ventilation on the fire place is extremely bad so when you make a fire, the entire cottage is engulfed is smoke. No tongs available for the braai.

We loved the wide porch with beautiful vistas of the Klein Karoo landscape and mountain peaks.

Perfect off-grid stay away from everything! Gorgeous scenery, such a cute cottage, very cozy and homely. Had a perfect evening here, friendly staff, and provided everything we could have needed.

Maybe consider inside braai facilities at the awesome inside fire place. A corkscrew would have been nice too to have, unless I've missed it.

Beautiful view, comfortable set up

No hot water

Location, views, trails, nature, outdoor shower, bath, dog friendly, beautiful decor and finishes, open space.

Bats in roof that make noises at night and poop on beds. Dishes weren't clean. Shower didn't drain. Indoor fireplace didn't circulate the smoke out properly. Cottages are relatively close to one another.

Did you hear that - no? That's the point. We wanted a place in nature that was away from everything and we got it. The farm is very remote with very little around is the perfect place to switch off and relax. You are surrounded by mountains and amazing views The night sky is amazing when clear, and even some of the wildlife comes out to make things even better. Everything is off the grid and very eco-friendly. Vast open land with only the sound of nature Lots of nature, including farm animals, birds, rabbits, zebras, and rodents. Long hiking trails and walks with no one around. Great for pets too The perfect place to relax and unwind Farm staff were friendly and very helpful Take a 4x4 and explore the surrounding areas even more The bathroom was large with a bath offering a perfect view

The room had a slight damp smell upon arrival, but it went away quickly Facilities are basic, but still perfect for a relaxing stay Cold water was a little brackish, and the capacity of the gas geyser for bath and shower was limited and could go cold quickly. No signal and very limited electricity output. It's what we wanted, but might not appeal to everyone. The 4x4 track is basic, but it is still fun.

How quiet it was on the farm. Everyone was super friendly on the farm and we were even allowed to enter the main farm property to look at zebras.

I would have loved if I can use my hair dryer but unfortunately they run on solar so you are only allowed to charge devices. The shower temp was either too warm or too cold and because the shower is outside it's very cold if you shower at night. Maybe an extra suggestion is to get comfortable outside furniture. We spent all our time outside and if there was comfortable furniture it would have been perfect!

So remote and private. Utterly peaceful.

Pretty cottage with good facilities. Fantastic position with lovely walks on the farm that are dog friendly.

The access road for all the other guests is right in front of each cottage’s stoep. It would have been less intrusive if it ran behind the cottages.

it was the most amazing place to stay sorry we only stayed 1 night

This was great destination to just light a fire , drink a glass of wine and just relax .

The comfortable coach on the stoep The bed was covered to keep it from dust or goggas The cold water and ice in the friedge

Only one plug for a hairdryer would help

We liked the Karoo - Farm. Beautiful area.

a Bid far from town. Would appreciate room service and more wood.

Loved the cottages, very cute!

Would've loved it if bug/mosquito repellant spray is provided.

Perfect for an authentic Karoo landscape experience. Remote enough to experience good stargazing.

Lack of security which is important to a solo traveller.

Cottages on a beautiful farm. Very comfortable rooms. Well appointed, with everything provided for a self-catering stay. Outdoor shower is very cool in such hot weather.

Nothing.
