8 guests' feedbackWonderful exclusive accommodation in the Karoo.
We enjoyed everything about Sand River Conservancy - Wagon House and the surrounding area. It is very secluded but still feels safe. We enjoyed the evenings and nights as much as the day. You can walk all day and observe the wildlife and in the evening lie under the stars and admire them. The small pool is clean and lovely to cool off in. The braai is large and the outside places to visit are delicious. Unfortunately the WiFi was out of order, so if there was an emergency it would struggle. However, we didn't miss it or find it necessary.
Here you can really switch off from the hustle and bustle and just relax.
We had a great time. We were a family of 3 with lots of small children. We went for a nice walk and the children played wonderfully. The fireplace is nice in case it's too cold at the braai - the wind can make quite a draft at the braai place. The separate (container) works well for a family to sleep separately. The house is very well equipped with everything you could need. We didn't use the splash pool, but we were very grateful for the hard (cover) because it is quite deep. Real farm holiday, even if it was just for a weekend.
Silence, open spaces, good birding, clean and well thought through and functional amenities. Were blessed with perfect weather. Hiked for miles on end, spotted some game and many more spoors. Though no marked hiking trails, entire farm to explore on foot with enough farm tracks and Koppies to discover. Too cold to make use of the plunge pool but did cool off the swollen feet after a hike. Enjoyed the spacious braai, and also indoor fireplace at night. Thoroughly recommended for nature lovers.
It was great to be without a signal - the WiFi at home is enough to keep in touch if you want, but other than that you can just rest. The Karoo has always been beautiful to us and it was wonderful to stay in the middle of nowhere. We didn't know where to put the hot tub, so the kids just used it as a pool, but it was freezing cold - which can be nice too. It truly feels like a farm. Also had a nice walk.
Had a great time. House very well furnished with everything you need. The fireplace in the house is lovely and a lovely barbecue area outside for a nice visit. Very beautiful part of Karoo. Well worth it, would recommend to everyone.
Definitely worth the visit! Wagon House is removed from everything man made, and you feel like you are the only person around. Great self-catering services, warm water, braai wood, and an inside and outside fireplace. The views are amazing, the hikes are easy.
