"Comfortable accommodation in a stunning location."

A pretty, comfortable and nicely equipped cottage with awesome views. The only noise was the birds and the river. Our host was charming and accommodating. Absolutely perfect for our needs.

"The place is very nice, clean and well furnished. Very beautiful nature around the place."

Very nice stay, very big and comfortable. Very nice view and clean air.

"5 spot. Appelhuis was more than we expected and our host thought of everything."

Appelhuis was the perfect getaway. Everything was more than we expected. Lovely warm duvets, gorgeous views, quiet walks and cosy fires. The dam was perfect for an explore and canoeing.

"Peaceful beautiful surroundings."

Absolutely beautiful farm. Very guest friendly. Both farm manager and owner either visited or sent message to see if all was well.

"Relaxing, private, with a stunning view."

The Plaas Wegbreek cottage is beautifully located on the dam and totally isolated, which is what we wanted. We enjoyed the silence and tranquility.

"Neat accommodation and highly recommend."

It was a really nice break, peaceful and very beautiful, especially the blossoms of the fruit trees.

"Wonderfully relaxing, has everything you need. Amazing dam to swim in."

See stars.

"Presies wat die siel gevra het."

Was delightful and special.

"Perfect."

Quiet, peaceful, and safe. Comfortable beds. Lovely hot shower. Everything one needed.

"Quiet, beautiful farm break."

Had a wonderful stay in Appelhuis. Was freezing cold, but house wonderfully warm with fireplace, underfloor heating in living area and electric blankets. Most beautiful flowers seen on green areas. Anna made us feel very welcome and was always available. Will definitely stay there again.

"Wonderfully relaxed and very pleasant."

It was very nice to stay on a working farm.

"Lovely getaway on a farm away from it all."

We had a great time at Anna's in Appelhuis. The cottage is well equipped. The bedding and duvets are good quality, nice and thick and warm. The indoor fireplace and underfloor heating in the living area certainly helped against the winter cold. The house is not far from town, and we could drive in different directions every day. Guests should only note that the 2nd (smaller) double bedroom is off the main house with its en-suite shower and toilet. The bathroom of the main bedroom inside has a shower and a bath. Plenty of wood is provided, and the outside braai is close to the kitchen, with a lounge area weather permitting. Also note that cell phone signal between the mountains is very limited, for those who may need to run errands. Thank you Anna, we had a great time and rested!

"Wonderful place to stay."

We love the farm. Going back very soon.

"Very peaceful and nice."

Fantastic place with the most beautiful view and tranquility. The most beautiful farm. You can completely switch off there. Only thing I would recommend is a signal booster as there is no cell phone reception and we couldn't use our decoder there either. But it's an incredible place. There are donkeys and meerkats and the loveliest 2 farm dogs. Would really recommend it.

"House was absolutely beautiful. Views amazing. Location perfect."

We travelled with our dogs and they had a jol. Loved the farm dam and walking around orchards. Amazing stay.

"Rustic, peaceful, scenic."

We had a wonderful 3-day break at the scenic Appelhuis on Plaas Wegbreek. We didn't see anyone at the house for the entire time - only a few workers were spotted in the distance, working on the fruit farm. The old house was suitably rustic but well-equipped. For anyone hoping to be waited on and have someone cleaning up behind you, this is perhaps not the place for you - but we really enjoyed the solitude. It is the perfect base for exploring Route 62. We went east to Caltizdorp one day and west to Robertson on another. We may well be back soon!

"The silence and freedom was absolutely great."

Very pleasant break from the city.

"Beautiful self-catering accommodation in fruit orchard."

We stayed in the Apple House which is surrounded by peach, lemon and plum orchards. The house was well equipped and had everything to make your stay very pleasant. The living area consisted of an open plan area, with a kitchen, equipped with a fridge, stove and microwave oven. Plates, cutlery, glasses, bowls and pots were provided, as well as a small gas bottle with a kettle for loadshedding. There was dish soap provided for the dishes at the sink. The dining area had a round table with chairs where one could eat comfortably. There was a couch you could sit on to watch TV. The TV has standard channels as well as the DStv has limited channels. The fireplace has 2 easy chairs and it was so nice in the cold weather to sit in front of the fireplace. The bonus was the underfloor heating in the living area, it made the room wonderfully warm and was definitely a nice treat. There were also 2 single beds in the lounge area with a toilet. The main bedroom had a double bed with a feather duvet and white linen as well as a three-quarter bed, an en suite bathroom with a shower, bath, sink and a toilet. Hand soap and hand cream were provided. The hot water was soon blazing hot and was nice to shower. Only problem was the high stairs at the shower, it was difficult to get in and out of the shower. The description of the accommodation is a bit confusing as there is a separate outside area with a double bed and a shower, this area sleeps 2 people but is outside on the verandah so if you have children that should sleep, they will sleep totally alone outside away from you, there are 5 people sleeping inside the house making a total of 7 people. There was a large veranda and you have the most beautiful view of the Langeberg and fruit orchards. The braai area had a large table where you could sit comfortably, braai wood was provided at R30 a bag, as well as a grill and tongs to make your braai comfortable. Solar lights worked well when it got dark. Better communication between me and the hostess would have been nice, but I understand they were away on vacation themselves with limited cell phone reception. Another drawback or problem was there was very little if any cell phone reception. In case of emergency no one can contact you, maybe the owner can put a reinforcement just that there is cell phone reception, it is not necessary for WiFi, we all have data. Emergency lights and candles would also be appreciated, during loadshedding, luckily we came prepared with enough candles and emergency lights. We really enjoyed our stay and can recommend the Appelhuis for a very pleasant and comfortable stay, as well as value for money.

"Peaceful and scenic."

Lovely 2 days in privacy on a beautiful farm with a view of mountains, orchards, and fynbos.

"Incredibly peaceful - truly a getaway."

Location conveniently close to Barrydale - very tidy. Everything you need for the weekend. Very peaceful and quiet - lovely farm atmosphere.

"We enjoyed the Damhuis. Beautiful view of the dam."

Everything we needed was there when we arrived and the owners were very helpful and friendly. Precautions must be taken regarding mosquitoes so close to the pond.

"Sien bo."

! Stunning venue.

"Cozy cabin on the shore of a large pond with boats and paddles for the adventurous."

View over extensive fruit orchards on the lovely fruit farm. The cottage is small and somewhat cramped, but with such an idyllic setting it doesn't matter. Barrydale about 7 km from the accommodation. Solar panels keep the lights on and provide hot water. Nice two plate gas stove. However, hot water pressure is weak. On point communication with owners via Whatsapp. I unloaded deliciously. Put on your walking shoes and explore the orchards and hiking trails. Breathe in the fresh air, barbecue on the porch of the cottage and gaze at the stars.

"Very nice and quiet, clean, enough wood."

Very nice stay. Photos same as accommodation. Nice dry wood. Very nice farm. There was a bit too little toilet paper.

"Beautiful oasis."

Lovely place, can't wait until we can go again. Had so much fun there.

"Excellent value for money, great service and best place to rest, unwind and recharge."

My wife and I celebrated our ten year wedding anniversary with such a quick weekend getaway. The Damhuis was the best decision we could have made. Quiet, very comfortably furnished with the most necessary facilities to just recover in silence and relax among the fruit orchards. With a breathtaking view of the pond and mountains and the rustling of the reeds in the wind, the sunset was enchanting. We couldn't help but sleep well. Thanks to Yvonne, Anna and the team.

"Peaceful, away from it all."

Withuis is well equipped, well insulated and scented with surrounding fruit blossoms!

"It was an incredibly nice weekend. Quiet and peaceful."

Beautiful nature scenes. Not to mention the beautiful orchards with the blossoms. So so beautiful. And the dam, a lovely visit to the dam with feet in the water. Will definitely go again.

"Lovely farm break!"

Such a nice peaceful place with lots to do around and on the farm. We really enjoyed our time in Barrydale. Lots of room for dogs to run around and swim!

"Tranquil getaway."

Surrounded by mountains, nestled between orchids, 7 kms from quaint Barrydale, the Appelhuis can restore body, mind and soul. Especially love the handwritten note about the history of the place.

"Very calm. View fantastic, especially at sunset. Friendly welcome. Switch off from the hustle and bustle of life."

In the area there are many places to explore that one can reserve a long time and go see a different place every day. Also, just staying on the farm and walking around, observing nature and farming is already more than enough. Can fish also in pond.

"What an extraordinary guesthouse located on a fruit farm; a pity we could only stay over-night."

Nice clean cottages to stay in, within an extremely beautiful mountainous environment. Could easily stay a couple of days there exploring the farm and surroundings.

"The dam next door and fruit orchards around make it heavenly."

I recommend it to anyone who has farm blood in him for a vacation. Villagers may not like the lack of Eskom power.

"Beautiful place with friendly owner and staff."

White House's view and location in the orchard is highly recommended. Dog was welcome.

"We were looking for a place to stay the night on our way back from our holiday."

We stayed in the Apple House. The house is very well furnished and the fireplace is a plus for the cold evenings. We had a good, warm sleep and were able to go for a walk in the fields the next day before we had to leave. We had problems with the shower, but luckily were able to use the bath.

"Toadstool and pond ducks were well coached."

Freedom of movement. Silence and beautiful nature.

"Lovely relaxed atmosphere by the dam."

We had a wonderful time on the farm among the fruit trees and next to the pond.

"Secluded cabin with serene outlook."

Great spot for single visitor or a couple. Ideal for chilling or braaing on the deck, swimming or kayaking in the dam, bird watching and farm walks. Very welcoming to me and my dog.

"We were there for a few days rest."

Was able to swim in the pond directly in front of Damhuis, cycle on the farm roads, explore everything on the farm. And close to Barrydale with its shops and delicious food.

"Restful."

The farm is wonderful. It is very quiet and peaceful and close to town. The Appelhuis is beautiful and the interior is very tastefully decorated. We didn't see the hostess at all and she seems to be a person of few words. The microwave oven and the TV/DVD player need a service, the faucet in the master bedroom bathroom is loose. The underfloor heating is great but only in the living room. The fireplace is great but all the wood available was wet. There is no information in the house about activities in the area. When I asked about this a link was sent to me. During the first night the water ran out and then I was told to go press a button outside and then turn off again after an hour. It must have been the water pump, I assume. There wasn't even salt in the kitchen. There is an outside room that can also be used but it was very cold and I wasn't sure if it had been cleaned as there was still a towel in the laundry basket. We're probably just spoiled by all the other places we've visited that were hospitable and maybe just might send us a message during the weekend to ask if we're still okay and if we might need anything especially during phase 6 loadshedding. There is no WiFi.

"Absolutely off the books. Scenic, breathtakingly beautiful. Rest for every soul and body."

A lovely farm where hardworking people contribute to South Africa's economy every day. Here you feel welcome and walk into a house where everything is clean and tidy in its place, just what a housewife needs, delicious and comfortable. A place to walk, and experience a piece of heaven on earth, with comfort and safety you visit here like your own. Many thanks to our hostess Yvonne for your interest in us. Time is just too little anyway. Highly recommend Farm Getaway. Don't miss out, make a plan and go enjoy the freedom.

"Fantastic"

Stayed at Damhuis, perfect location, facilities good, can really recommend it.

"Very special."

The beautiful surroundings and the friendly people were special, everything was perfect!

"Discharging, relaxing and beautiful."

Everything you need was there. Simple, but efficient. The dogs could run around and had a good time as well. It's remote enough not to disturb anyone with their antics. Really nice, pet-friendly stay.

"Beautiful and peaceful!"

Had a lovely time and will definitely come again.

"Fantastic farm visit."

I can write an essay about our stay. it was so nice. But in summary: idyllic. Between the orchards. The white house a must visit. Everything you need is there. Bedding is luxurious. Yvonne is a hostess a thousand!

"Calm atmosphere. Very neat."

Incredibly beautiful farm, peaceful atmosphere. Value for money.

"Beautiful place on the water and in nature. My kids really enjoyed it too. I recommend the pond house to anyone."

Well priced, stunning location.

"Amazing peaceful place, safe and everything you need was there. Will definitely visit again."

Peaceful farm environment where you can give your soul a chance to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Definitely worth the visit.

"Unique accommodation on this beautiful farm."

The dirt road to the farm is in excellent condition and the directions are good. The house is spacious and very comfortable. It was a privilege to spend the night on such a "pristine" farm.

"Farm atmosphere, peaceful place for the whole family."

Appel Huis was a perfect place to sleep, with lovely heating and a fireplace. The bed in the master bedroom was amazing, my husband said the bed won the award for the most comfortable bed of our holiday. We went for a nice walk, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and farm atmosphere.

"Absolutely fantastic."

The Appelhuis was amazing. It's huge and beautifully decorated with lovely personal touches. It's clear the owners love their house! Has absolutely everything one needs. The owner was away but WhatsApp'ed to make sure we were okay as did the lady she put in charge of overseeing our stay. They were both very attentive and helpful. Will definitely return. We also went to look at the Damhuis and it looks great as well! Huge recommendation on all fronts.

"We had an incredibly nice time on the Apple farm."

Hospitality and a very nice time. It's definitely recommended.

"Lovely break between the fruit orchards."

The house is fully equipped and very tidy. Beautiful location and warm welcome. Thank you very much!

"New Year's calm."

Great break away with our 2 dogs. Place is beautiful, well equipped. Owners very hospitable and you always feel welcome on the farm! Is our second time back and hope to return again!

"Best Barrydale place to stay."

Our hostess was friendly and sent good directions, as well as made recommendations. The farmhouse is well equipped and ideally located between fruit orchards. Many hiking trails and silence on this farm. Barrydale is conveniently close, and just far enough to appreciate nature's silence.

"Very nice environment in nature. I think it's more of a destination for the summer months."

We had a nice time. It's very close to the village of Barrydale. Nice and hospitable people.

"Lovely place to stay."

It was a wonderful and pleasant experience to be able to sleep in the White House unit. Beautiful farm and surroundings. The house was very neat and equipped with everything one needs. Yvonne was very hospitable and friendly. I would highly recommend the place.

"Wonderfully peaceful on the farm!"

We had a great stay in Appelhuis. The house is nice and private with lots of walking paths for us and our dogs. Also really enjoyed the farm pond.

"Breathtaking surroundings at the dam cottage."

Perfect setting, surrounded by nectarine trees. Everything we needed was there.

"Calmness."

Beautiful, peaceful fruit farm.

"What a beautiful place! Clean, tidy and beautifully decorated. We just barbecued that evening, there was no need to drive to town for dinner!"

Have fun! Wonderful to be able to sleep on the farm like this.

"Fresh from the farm."

We stayed for a long weekend with our two dogs and it was lovely! The cottage is well equipped and you won't get cold - nice underfloor heating, plus a fireplace, plus electric blanket make the cold go away. Yvonne provided enough wood for the first night's braai and we had a nice time on the stoep. The duvet on the double bed is a bit small, but luckily we were able to use two single duvets from the spare beds.

"Cute little place on the dam."

The place is located on the dam and has everything you need. However, there was no mention that the bathroom was out on the porch. Although it is against the house, you must go outside. The porch is not waterproof and it rained all night. The hostess informed us about it after we had already paid.

"Bucolic bliss in well appointed and cosy cottage among orchards and mountains ... plaasvars!"

Withuis is a beautifully restored and characterful cottage set amongst fruit orchards with sweeping mountain views. Braaing and starwatching on the deck, as well as a long circular walk to the big dam, were highlights.

"Comfortable holiday home in beautiful orchard surroundings."

Comfortable visiting house with many walking opportunities in the field and farm environment. Interesting Barrydale is just around the corner.

"It was lovely and peaceful."

I recommend Plaas Wegbreek for the following reasons: everything works in the house, it is quiet and peaceful, it is close to Barrydale but still completely quiet and no disturbing noises or unnecessary light. The town is 7 km away with a good road. The surroundings are beautiful and calming. I definitely recommend.

"Lovely break on a fruit farm in beautiful nature."

We were pleasantly surprised by Yvonne's welcome which immediately made us feel very much at home. The luxury of the unit with lots of amenities was definitely a plus. We would love to go back there in the future.

"Very neat and comfortable accommodation. Nice farm atmosphere."

Unit is very comfortably furnished with everything we could need for self-catering. Yvonne was very helpful and gave us great advice on activities we could do on the farm and in Barrydale. Our little dog was also very much at home and enjoyed walking and sniffing around the orchards.

"We really had a great time. The house was perfect for our family of 4."

My daughter lost her cell phone while riding her bike. We couldn't find him before we left. Yvonne happily called me and said one of their workers on the farm's children had picked it up and brought it to her. It's amazing that there are still such honest people. Many thanks to Plaas Wegbreek for a nice weekend!

"Outstanding, stunning and cosy. Will go back."

Orchards in full bloom, very nice and juicy. Braai facilities outstanding. Mountains in area stunning, wish we could've stayed longer. Thank you.

"Food for the soul."

One of our getaways in nature that we will definitely go to again. Owners absolutely friendly, respect guests' privacy. Access to the entire farm. Lots of room for walking. Fruit trees everywhere you look. Pleasing to the eye.

"A wonderful house with great views. "

A great place to stay if you're happy to be 5 minutes outside of the hustle and bustle of town! Would definitely stay there again.

"The Damhuis is a very small but ideal getaway spot for two."

The location is exceptional and would be much better if it weren't for the severe drought and consequent empty dam. The owner was extremely helpful and hospitable. The larger houses, Appelhuis and Withuis are more spacious and in the orchards with a very nice view. Can recommend it!

"Nice weekend stop on the way to the Garden Route!"

The cottage is very well equipped, has more than enough space and everything needed for a comfortable stay, and the view is unbeatable. The barbecue on the deck makes good use of the view, but we didn't have the courage to use it as it is an open fire barbecue right next to the stone fruit orchards. The cleanliness in general was disappointing.

"Great rest in silence and beautiful scenery!"

The house was very neat and clean and we received friendly and good service. It was wonderfully relaxing to breathe in the fresh air smelling of blossoms and the starry sky in the evening was breathtaking!

"Superb."

The best indicated farm location we have been to in a long time.

"Soul food"

The owners are amazing, friendly. Als was perfect, peaceful and it felt like I was at my own place. This is going to be my go to getaway!

"Awesome."

Dit was ongelooflik rustig en netjies en mooi. Ek is net vreeslik spyt ons kon net een aand daar bly.

"Lovely and peaceful farm experience."

Beautiful and neat house with everything that you need. Very peaceful in the country side with the smell of fruit orchards around you. We had some issues with the water pressure, but Yvonne immediately tended to it. Will stay there again.

"A fabulous relaxing retreat with great walking trails."

Beautiful views, peaceful and quiet. We had an amazing relaxing time.

"Very peaceful - see stars."

Lovely accommodation. Would have liked to stay longer.

"Fantastic."

It was nice and quiet and has a lovely atmosphere full of peace and fresh clean air. A place to go for peace and quiet.

"Great place that is tastefully set up and very clean."

What a great place. White house, very neat, fully equipped and very clean. Really a must visit. Friendly owners. Full marks for White House.

"Quiet, spacious, in nature, fantastic."

One of the best times ever. Stayed 3 nights, the house is spacious and very comfortably furnished. We will definitely go again.

"We really enjoyed it, it was a very very nice break for us."

We will definitely come again and also tell our friends about Barrydale and your beautiful place, everything was so safe and the environment very clean. The nature very beautiful, the house and the pond were just what we were looking for. Thank you very much.

"Wonderful!"

We had such an amazing time! It is a beautiful, clean and very well equipped cottage. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful. The silence was just what we needed. It felt like a week's rest. Will go back for sure. Highly recommended!

"Absoluut peace and quiet in a beautiful environment."

The environment is beautiful. The houses are far away from each other that guarantees 100% privacy. The house that we lived in (Withuis) is well equipped and very neat.

"Absolutely heavenly!"

I would recommend Plaas Wegbreek to anyone, it's just heavenly. A weekend is far too short. The Appelhuis is so beautiful and the porch and view are fantastic. We are definitely back in October.

"Wow. Clean and neat accommodation."

Die Withuis is very clean and neat. Lovely braai facilities and we could unplug and unwind. Yvonne's team knows what they are doing.

"Soul invigorating."

This is our second visit to the farm and to the White House, a perfect little house with luxury bedding, kitchen facilities etc. Two places to visit depending on the sun/wind - in front and behind the house - both with beautiful views and the whole farm and surroundings to discover for me and my dog. We were also able to enjoy eating from the fruit orchards (our hostess said we could eat as much as we could), with pear, peach and plum orchards as far as the eye could see.

"It was quite pleasant. "

I had a great stay. The place was so neat and clean and the service excellent.

"Quiet, peaceful and clean."

Accommodation was peaceful, clean and neat. Rooms are a bit unpractical, cupboards are lacking, one of the rooms are outside the house, with open-plan bathroom. Cleaning service only on request. Requests handled in a friendly and effective manner.

"Food for the soul."

Die Appelhuis het al ons verwagtinge oortref! Ons sal vir seker weer kom kuier en definitief ons vakansie tyd op die plaas verleng. Die rustigheid en natuurskoon is iets om na te smag.

"We will definitely come back here, the place is beautiful and very peaceful! Highly recommended! "

The house is fully equipped with everything that is needed and very comfortable with beautiful views of the farm.

"Hidden treasure in the Klein-Karoo ensured a wonderful 2 night stay."

Top class accommodation, clean, secure, warm with lovely braai and wood ensured a wonderful 2 night stay. We realised that we were not in the city when a big male baboon paid us a visit, but luckily he moved on. Great photo opportunities, especially early mornings with beautiful clear skies. Enjoyed every moment.

"Like a dream!"

Peaceful, comfortable, affordable. Worth it!

"Absolutely wonderful."

Die Withuis was a beautiful house in a beautiful location. The most most well equipped cottage we have ever stayed in with all the special little touches to make our stay comfortable.

"The quiet of the Karoo at its best. Grateful!"

The Apple House is right in the middle of a large orchard. We could go for a walk and relax in front of the fireplace at night. It's close to town and we felt very safe. Everything was neat and clean.

"Wonderfully rural!"

Extremely positive experience.

"Nice and lovely between the orchards."

It was nice and I can recommend it.

"Enjoyed relaxing between the vineyards in a beautiful, tidy house!"

Die Withuis is a beautiful, white, clean place between fruit orchards. Great to recharge your batteries. Equipped with everything you need.

"Very pretty and the house is very cool due to the walls and thatched roof. No aircon and not even needed."

Lovely soft lawn with lots of trees providing shade to sit in behind the house. Good variety birds for bird watchers.

"Fantastic!"

Everything was perfect. Beautiful surroundings!

"Very clean, quiet and excellent views."

One of the cleanest guest houses ever visited, friendly people and great views.

"Restful."

Very nice, peaceful environment. The underfloor heating in some places was a bonus - just kept the bite out! The surroundings are so beautiful and went on a nice trip on our bikes - just be careful of the thorns with the bike wheels. We have now experienced it in the winter and would love to go back in the summer

"Lovely little house...wish I could stay forever!"

Beautiful, peaceful surroundings, we had a wonderful stay!

"Relaxed, peaceful environment! Roomy!"

A wonderful place to stay in nature. The layout of the house is comfortable and the decor very tasteful!

"Great accommodation"

Ideal overnight facilities in beautiful scenery.
