A real 'out of Africa' feel to ironstone cottage!! It was furnished with lovely wooden furniture that was all in good condition, lamps and wall pictures were lovely, and bedding was very comfy. The bathrooms were also very well updated and easy to use.
Proactive management of our booking was good,with clear instructions to find the cottage.

Graaff-Reinet is a gem for anyone who loves history and (well-preserved) historic buildings. Most visitors pass through while heading toward the coast or back to Joburg and drive straight through the centre of town and out the other side - but the best of what this city has to offer is OFF the main road... on the side streets. So many beautifully preserved historic buildings, unexpected coffee shops and galleries, museums and places of interest. Definitely one of South Africa's more charming small towns (for those who would just take a moment to leave the main road and LOOK).

There is a lot to do and see in an around Graaff-Reinet. Unfortunately we could not stay longer than one night. It is a very historical town with beautiful old buildings. The scenery and reserves in the area are stunning.

What a wonderful place. So clean and well-maintained.
What a wonderful place. So clean and well-maintained. Wonderful to walk around the town and see all the beautiful homes. I loved it. And to have the Camdeboo National Park right there is just wonderful.

It's a lovely town with so much history to it.
It's a lovely town with so much history to it. The museums, while needing modernization and some TLC, have some interesting stuff particularly at the military museum. I would have loved to have had the time to visit some of the places where the Brits ambushed Commandant Gideon Scheepers whom they executed after a military court found him guilty of war crimes - they actually had him sit on a chair next to a grave and then the firing squad shot him. Worthy of remembering these guys, (Local African people, Brits and Boers) who found themselves caught up in the first war of liberation against British imperialism. Their sacrifices and keeping their names and the history alive is so important. Then to bring matters more current, a visit to the Robert Sobukwe permanent exhibition is important to help understand the contribution of one of Graaf Reinet's most famous sons.

It is a beautiful little town.
It is a beautiful little town. I was so impressed at how clean the streets are. We will be back and will stay at Cypress Cottage. I forgot to mention that we had a huge breakfast that was made in our cottage just for us.

Most of the historical buildings have been well maintained and painted white. The church is still in excellent condition.
Some modernisation taking place right now in the main street.
SANS parks nature reserve worth a visit with good dry, dirt roads. Valley of desolation view point very good with tarred road to the top followed by a short steep climb. Area can get very hot this time of year Feb 19th 43C.
Completely self catering, although there are rusks, coffee, tea, sugar and milk and ice in the house. This is truly a piece of heaven the most tranquil beautiful place and should be visited for more than one day. The dirt road you travel on to get onto the farm is fantastic, easily accessible with a city car and the directions to get there fantastic. Due to a fantastic rainy season in the Karoo we had to cross a stream, we managed that easily with a Ford Ecosport and Kia Picanto. We will be back!!!!!!!!!! Don't miss out on this gem.
EXCEPTIONAL. This was one of the best stays of my life (so far).
I love the host, very friendly, and so helpful, Property was clean, and neat, cute and walking distance from all restaurants, and venues.
It's a self catering unit, all the appliances was working and was in good condition. I wish I could move in permanently.!!!!
If you want a Private stay, the Garden cottage is a MUST.!!! I would Highly recommend the garden cottage for anyone who wants to visit Graaff-Reinet.
Most beautiful and relaxing stay. Beautiful cozy Karoo cottage. Very helpfull host just a whatsapp away. Friendliest cleaning lady came to greet us with freshly baked roosterkoek. Well done on this exstra final touch. 3 farm dogs came to say hallo everyday.
Wonderful clear sky for star gazing at night.
Enjoyed the cozy fire inside the cottage later in the evenings.
Will definitely book again. Hope to use the pool in warmer weather as our 2 days was not as hot to cool of.
We had a lovely stay, but would have liked a room with a bit of an outside area. We had this when we stayed her 18 months ago, but I guess we got a complementary upgrade last time.
The staff were exceptional and we had nothing, but good service. We were particularly pleased with the server we had for breakfast (Amie Seekooi).
The Hotel is very well located and most attractions are within walking distance.
The Drostdy Hotel remains the Grand Old Dame she always was!
The host was amazing!
Very detail oriented. We received the local loadshedding schedule right after the booking. As we arrived, the host gave us a tour of the house, which seems to be newly renovated. There also was drinking water and milk prepared in the fridge for us, as well as non-drinking water in case the loadshedding affects the water supply.
If I'm ever traveling though Graaff-Reinet again, hopefully, this place will be available for booking.
I cannot rate my experience highly enough. I enjoyed two weeks of peace and tranquility while still able to get necessary work done thanks to reliable WiFi (except for periods of load-shedding). Plenty of different corners of the farm to explore on long walks and wonderful birdlife. Town is just a few minutes drive away. Provision made for lighting and cooking during load-shedding. Hosts of both the human and dog variety very friendly and welcoming.
This is a magical farm! Loved everything about the experience. From where the farm is located, to the friendly owners, Ansie & Johan. Just really enjoyed the peace, quiet & beautiful views. The star studded night sky was also quite breathtaking. Ansie & Johan have thought of all the details to make the accommodation very special and unique.
Everything was perfect!
Fantastic, beautiful place, wonderful hosts. Great facilities, secure parking.. with their inverter we didn't even feel the loadshedding. Manuela and Yigale are great hosts. Served up the most amazing breakfast. We were sorry we had to leave so soon. Most definitely now our favorite place in Graaff-Reinet. They stand out above the rest. Superb!
Peaceful break in a lovely cottage on a farm outside Graaff-Reinet, surrounded by mountains and Aloes, has everything you need including small private pool, inside fireplace and outside braai area. We did not want to leave the place.
VS has a superb braai facility with everything you could possibly need in a nice lappa. Would highly recommend VC for any couple/family travelling through Graaff-Reinet with self catering needs in mind.
Big room with everything you need, also for self catering. Both airco and heating available. Good and safe location. Lights stayed on during loadshedding. Very good quality for the price we paid here.
The location was remote as we like it - off the tar track !!
The quiet and farm life atmosphere was great. Wifi connectivity was good and facilities perfect for what we required.
Great place to stay, great value for money.
Whole apartment for myself, the host was so friendly, wouldn't mind going there again. Such amazing place. Thank you Graaff-Reinet.
