Modernised : airconditioned Stoep to experience sunset Braai facilities
Heerlike rustigheid van die plaas met allles wat jy benodig. Spandaukop-selfsorg voel soos ‘n huis weg van die huis, tot ‘n flits word voorsien en koplig vir braai. Lekker geslaap met geen steurnisse. Ideale oorslaap na ‘n lang pad.
Lekker gebly, maar daar is ‘n waterpomp om die drukking van die water reg te hou. Die pomp sit net agter die slaapkamer se muur. Maak ‘n vreeslike geraas as dit aangaan en dit gebeur elke 3 tot 5 min. Maak jou mal. Maar die jongman daar sê mens raak later gewoond daaraan! Wel, ons het nie gewoond geraak nie. Slapelose nagte. Die oorsaak is ‘n lekkende pyp by die toilet wat die druk die heeltyd laat val en die pomp aanhoudend laat aanskakel. Hulle het ‘n emmertjie onder die pyp neergesit wat ook al oorloop en wat jy moet leegmaak. Die hout van die vloerlys is al amper opgevrot agter die toilet. Lyk nie of hul beplan om dit te herstel nie. Dit is die cottage. Verder is die nodige geriewe daar. Geen TV. Selfoon-ontvangs baie swak.
Baie stil en rustig met baie vars Karoo-lug.
Melrose Guest farm getuig van klas, vriendelikheid en rustige stilte uit die Karoo. ‘n Moet vir elke reisiger! Baie dankie vir ‘n besonderse ervaring. Ons sal weer by jul kom kuier.
Dit was ongelooflik mooi, baie ruim kamers, heerlike kos en die rustigheid laat mens baie gemaklik voel. Kinders het heerlik rondgehardloop en gespeel op die plaas – ons sal verseker weer daar oorslaap.
Die verblyf, kos en kuier op die plaas was fantasties. Ons gasheer en gasvrou staan vir niks verkeerd nie. Ons drie-jarige seuntjie het die diere op die plaas en pragtige tuin vreeslik geniet.
Die selfsorghuisie is baie gerieflik ingerig. Die plaasomgewing is net wat mens nodig het om ‘n blaaskans te vat en kop skoon te maak. Dis defnitief op my “weer te doen”-lysie.
The couple that run this place are wonderful people and most hospitable. The setting is beautiful and has wonderful views of the surrounding fields and mountains. Very peaceful and definitely worth a visit.
