"Great stay and a great experience."

We only stayed one night at Kleine Windpompie. It was too short and we will stay longer next time. The accommodation consists of a compact open-plan cottage situated on a slope with a beautiful view of the farm and mountains. The accommodation is located a few kilometers outside Barrydale on a sheep farm, close enough to drive there if you forgot something. The cottage has a kitchen with a gas stove, large fridge, crockery such as plates, glasses, cutlery. Coffee, tea, sugar, milk and biscuits are provided. The hostess provided 2 large containers of drinking water as the water from the taps is borehole water. The bed was a double bed with extra blankets for the cold evenings. The shower, toilet and sink are en suite. There is a large closet where you can store your bags and other luggage so you have more space to move around. There was also doom and a portable light should you need it. Outside your bedroom you walk out onto a large covered deck. There was a fireplace, braai drum and a hot tub. The view is breathtakingly beautiful. You can buy fireplace wood and braai wood directly from the hostess. Due to the drought and the lack of water that the farmers have, we ourselves decided not to use the hot tub. I hope we can use it on our next visit. It started to rain lightly and we were wonderfully warm in front of our fireplace and could barbecue without getting wet. There is also an outdoor firepit if you would prefer hey to grill outdoors. We were lucky to be able to see the rainbow after the short rain. What a privilege it was to see the full moon rise in front of us as well as being able to see the stars later. There is no TV or WiFi, this gives you the opportunity to enjoy nature as well as to be able to chat with each other and just be calm. There is mobile phone reception and if you have data you can use your mobile phone with good reception. Robert and Sarah were very nice and helpful, and respected your privacy. You could walk around the farm, look at the sheep. There was also a tame kid and 2 friendly dogs. The view was beautiful from your cottage with a balcony all around, so you can admire the scenery all the time. We can recommend Kleine Windpompie for an exceptional and unique experience.
