Naftali Guest Farm

The bar has been RAISED!! I honestly can't give a true star rating because this was so far above expectations. *5 stars plus! Peu & Sulindi welcomed us with open arms. Such generous, genuine hosts and givers. We couldn't stop talking about this pretty farm the entire trip home.

Surine is an incredible hostess, having a conversation with her make you feel that you have been friends for a long time. Surine took the time to show us around. The unit was exeptional with amazing attention to detail. The best overnight accomodation we ever stayed in. Definitly 120 out of a100

Fantastic hosts! The accommodation was a full apartment (not just a room) and very comfortable. Wonderful touches such as fresh flower arrangements on each side of the bed, a beautiful table setting for our meals, top quality towels and linen, goodies in the fridge, selection of teas, plunger coffee, home-made rusks (delicious). Lovely walks around the farm and down to the Orange River. Surine's indigenous gardens full of herbs are glorious - and Surine insisted we take cuttings for home. Take a walk to the stables to see Peu's (Surine's hubby) magnificent award winning horses. Stay at least two nights. We braai'd one night and the next evening we took a short drive to Oranjerus for sundowners and supper alongside the Orange River. Stop at Bezanel for a brandy/wine tasting. Take a drive around Kanoneiland (where you'll find Oranjerus) and visit Kanoniki Padstal.

Loved it all.

Everything, felt like home. Very peaceful and lovely hostess.

Attention to detail, cleanliness, esthetics, location.

Welcoming touches like the fresh flowers and herbs as well as a gift of fresh nuts made the stay extra special. The host's personal and friendly attention was much appreciated. Cleanliness and decor were exceptional.

There are some comfortable chairs on the stoep, but we would have liked one or two of those in the room as well, as the evening was too cold to sit outside.

The personal touch. We felt really welcome. The location is what made us choose. It's quiet, on a farm and away from the noise of the city. Was lekker to be able to walk around and see the farm in the morning. Little things like homemade marmalade, the welcome note, the yogurt in the fridge etc. Really very lekker and we will be back if ever needing a place near Upington. Thanks Serine!

This is a small thing that did not spoil our stay! There was no stove which I feel we could have been informed about prior to arrival, or reflected in some sort of discount to the rate. Fortunately we had our own camping stove so we could easily adapt. So really it's a tiny negative that would have easily been negated with forewarning.

Breakfast was not included.

Nothing. Everything was exactly what we wanted.

Excellent Unit with everything that you need. Very comfortable.

Exceptional Hospitality and a Truly Memorable Stay We stayed at Naftali near Upington, and what a delightful surprise awaited us! Our room was beautiful, with an en-suite bathroom, and everything was immaculate and spotlessly clean. The charming hostess, Surine, paid attention to every detail—from the stunning flower arrangements and wide selection of teas and coffees to the delicious homemade pecan rusks. Although the accommodation is self-catering, we were welcomed with a thoughtful breakfast selection in the fridge, including fresh berries, yoghurt, and fruit juice. Surine had also gone the extra mile by preparing a beautifully set table in the braai area, overlooking the vineyards, should we wish to enjoy a meal or braai there. As a special touch, she even gave me a packet of pecan nuts and a beautifully tied bunch of freshly cut herbs to take home. Beyond the exceptional hospitality, guests can enjoy the peace and tranquillity of farm life, making this a truly special place to stay. This accommodation deserves nothing less than a perfect score. Do yourself a favour and book a stay at Naftali—you won't regret it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Everything was good

The location, the host and the clean, comfortable accomodation.

We only stayed for one night.

An absolute gem in the heart of Kanoneiland. Loved all the unique and well thought of extras that the hosts add to the experience of staying on this farm/ country stay in the Northern Cape’s natural private reserves. The room had an abundance of fresh Kalahari flora. Kitchen stocked with delicious coffees, rusks, and treats. The staff were amazing. All in all, an unexpected retreat that we felt needed more than just one night to enJOY. We will be back.

Arrival to perfection Friendliness to the Max Home away from home

Absolutely stunning ! Thank you Surene for the heartfelt welcome

Wonderful surroundings, hosts and atmosphere. The attention to detail, the welcome message and lovely cottages contribute to an unforgettable experience.

Everything about Naftalie was exceptionally, I will never book elsewhere again. It felt like coming home. Surine gives such a personal touch to everything. I loved all the books. Would have love to read a couple of her books. The Paddington books on the bedstands was so special. We came with our furbabies and they we so welcome. They thought the farm belonged to them. It was heartwarming.

Naftali is ‘n bederf en blessing. Die attention to detail en die omgee harte is ‘n pragtige vreugde. Die skoon handdoeke elke dag was so luuks❤️

Gorgeous gardens and interior! Absolutely lovely, welcoming people!

Surine was an excellent host. The apartment was really nice, we ate in the Lapa which overlooked the farm, beautiful.

I didn't realise we had to share the stoep. This took away some of our privacy. However, our neighbour was not a problem!

Incredible attention to detail. Toberone chocolate on bed at arrival, fresh milk and juice and yoghurt in fridge, fruit on table and fresh flowers in abundance. Really beautiful and peaceful setting.

Hidden Gem Beautiful surroundings Well equipped Great hosts

Liked the organic products and the peace and quiet and lovely scenery of the vineyards. Went out of her way to assist us and made us feel welcome.

That we were not informed that we had to pay for ironing of our clothes before hand.

Everything was just perfect.

We loved everything. The most beautiful place is blessed with the most beautiful people, with hosts who go far out of the normal route to ensure their guests have a marvelous time. We had a sick friend with us, therefore Surine drove us 25 kilometers to the hospital at Sunday night to make sure we get the best treatment. The next day Surine and Peu showed us their stunning farm and horses and Peu's museum with some beautifully restored historic carriers. Everything was just overwhelming. There is a special soul and peaceful energy at this place and with the people living there. We definitely come back. Surine and Peu, thank you very much for the wonderful time at your paradise.

We felt sorry that we didn't know this wonderful place earlier on, otherwise we wouldn't have spent our previous breaks at different places around Upington, always coming from Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park. Next time we know where to spent a marvelous break without looking anywhere else.

We had a wonderful stay. The farm and cottage were beautiful and most comfortable with everything one might need provided, including fresh coffee and lovely flower posies next to the bed. We had a braai watching the sunset over the vines, the garden was filled with roses and herbs. The hosts were so welcoming and once they learned I love horses even took me for a drive in a carriage harnessed to two of their beautiful Friesian stallions, an unforgettable experience! We certainly plan to return.

Perfect retreat. It was beautiful and peaceful.The host was very lovely.

Liked everything.

Everything, beautiful ! Gorgeous artistic attention to detail! Extremely comfortable and clean. A welcomed oasis on our road trip.

Nothing we did not like, everything was perfect!
