The 2 bedroom house can accommodate up to 4 people. The main bedroom has a double bed, while the second bedroom has 2 single beds with one bathroom that is equipped with a shower. There is a fireplace on the porch outside the house. The porch has a ramp from the garage area.
The open kitchen is equipped with a 2-plate stove, fridge-freezer, microwave, and kettle. The lounge area has comfy seating and for bad weather days, there is a TV with selected DStv channels. Guests are welcome to bring their own decoder and smart card for additional channels. Guests who like to braai will have the experience to do it farm-style in a huge under-roof fire pit.
Guests are welcome to experience the farmland by walking or driving in the Karoo veld or between the vegetable seed fields. The Swartberg Pass near Prince Albert is 60 kilometers from Uitershoek Farm. This part of the Karoo is well known for kudu and springbok and may be lucky enough to spot porcupines, duiker, and steenbok.

42 guests' feedbackThese are beautiful places with everything one needs. Friendliest hostess who goes out of her way. Will stay there again for sure!
Very nice stay. The accommodation was top notch. The setting was perfect for us. We appreciated the silence.
It was very nice and no complaints.
We spent the night there and had a great time with the hospitable owner. The reviews I read were correct. The silence is incredible, painfully neat and the hospitality is incredible. Wish we could have stayed a little longer. And enjoyed the mutton we bought.
We were warmly received and enjoyed the peaceful scenery in a clean, tidy place to stay.
It was a lovely place to stay.
We were received kindly and immediately felt welcome. The unit is neat, clean and well equipped. The environment is beautiful. We will definitely stay there again. Thank you very much, Mari!
Have a good time and barbecue, with a nice big fire. Received very hospitably. Clear directions given and kept informed about loadshedding. The dirt road is not bad, but if it rains you won't be able to get through the drift. Just with a detour. The silence really made noise!
The cottage was safe and neat with more than enough essentials to get you through your stay. The host was lovely and made sure that we had all the things we needed and helped us get settled in. The environment and scenery around us really helped bring in the relaxing atmosphere of the house. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a place to stay in Leeu-Gamka.
Very well located, easy to reach and good directions. Very friendly and hospitable reception! Will definitely visit again!
Friendliest hostess, best communication and friendly welcome. Beautiful house with everything needed. Will definitely stay there again.
Clean and quiet. Comfy beds and hot shower. Excellent service from host. All necessary amenities. And a little gas burner to make hot water during loadshedding. Also backup lights. Very close to the N1 makes it a good stopover.
We enjoyed our stay at Uitershoek.
It's our second time staying there. Everything we needed was there. It's quiet and peaceful. Marie is a considerate hostess who received us very kindly. We will stay there again. We pray for rain for Leo Gamka!
Keep up the good work.
Very nice overnight stay. Quiet and everything you need is available.
The Karoo silence and night sky are incredible. Mari and Oosie really went out of their way to make us feel at home. Many thanks for the help and advice when the river was in flood. We will definitely stay here again! The house is spacious and well equipped. The rooms are very neat and clean. The house has a lovely large veranda with a braai area where we could hang out until late. The children were very excited to be able to explore the area with their bikes.
We stayed over one night on the way from Cape Town to Graaff-Reinet on a five-day motorcycle trip. Mari kept us informed of the level of the Gamka River from two days ahead of time and recommended the alternative route, where Oosie received us and guided us over the neighbour's land. The kindness and hospitality is remarkable. Nothing was too much trouble for Mari and Oosie. The cottage is beautifully situated with amazing sunsets and top notch stargazing. The braai wood was enough and the lamb chops and sausage (extra on request) were delicious. The N1 is far enough not to be disturbing and close enough for accessibility. The place and facilities are all that is needed for a self-catering accommodation and everything is extremely neat and clean. Fresh drinking water is provided because the tap water is slightly brackish - for me the tap water was perfectly drinkable. Definitely on our list of places to stay that we will use again.
The hostess went out of her way to escort us as we had to take a detour due to the rain. The cottage has everything needed and we really enjoyed it!
Extremely well equipped house against the most beautiful Karoo landscape. Mari is a fantastic hostess. Comfortable beds covered with lovely linen. Very clean and tidy. You will like it very much. Nice hot shower. The super-sized fire pit/barbecue on the porch was a great bonus. I highly recommend it. Stephanus Du Toit.
Lovely place, under the stars, hospitable and everything you need.
Uitershoek is really one of the neatest and cleanest places we stayed on our road trip. Mari was very friendly and helpful, and was in contact with us right from the very beginning, right after our booking was confirmed. This is appreciated as we knew exactly what the arrangements were and how to get to the place. It is the ideal stopover from Gauteng to Cape Town. All that is not so pleasant is the scrap yard just next to the cottage. But it's clearly been there for decades and certainly not something that can be changed. We will definitely stay there again.
Incredibly nice stay! Cottage was very well appointed, absolutely everything we needed and more. Marie carried us on her hands and stood up to help with everything. Our best accommodation for the entire Dec 2019 holiday.
Fantastic hospitality and a beautiful spacious house with the most amazing sunset!
Very neat house with beautiful, warm bedding. Wonderfully quiet and peaceful. Would highly recommend it.
What should I say? Excellent facilities, friendly people and just a little drive around the farm.
It was nice to grill a piece of meat under the Karoo starry sky. We all had a great stay and would stay there again. Hope the area gets rain soon.
Exceptional and provides everything you need.
Mari made us feel very much at home. Very neat and clean. Ideal overnight stop.
We were kindly received. The house was neat and clean. The braai facilities as well as the beautiful sunset and surroundings helped us relax after the long journey. We would happily stay here again.
Very neat, quiet, good location.
Beautiful clean and tidy house with everything one could possibly need. Lovely fresh white linen. Helpful and extremely hospitable hearted people!
It was a wonderful experience in the Karoo! Will definitely stay there again.
My hostess, Mari, went out of her way to welcome me and make me feel at home. The place is beautiful, tidy with lots of extra detail.
Marie is a fantastic hostess and made us feel very much at home. The plains and tranquility of the Karoo were the perfect overnight stop for us. Can highly recommend them.
Mari is very welcoming and her little guesthouse on the farm is really stunning. I can highly recommend it to anyone!
Everything was great, great, great, directions from the main road to physical at the place can only improve. Can highly recommend the place to stay.
Very convenient, neat and tasteful stay (with air-con in room). Wonderful tranquillity and sunsets. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality - even an extra bottle of red wine after ours fell and broke due to clumsiness!
It is a very clean and tidy well-equipped house in the beautiful Karoo. The hostess knows exactly what is needed for guests to rest well after a long drive. Milk in the fridge, biscuits, cold water in the fridge, matches and flash to start the fire which is already packed. Unbeatable, would definitely stay there again and recommend to friends and family. Thank you very much, very good value for money.
Very neat. We were able to rest for the rest of the trip.
Very nice, highly recommended! Exactly right!
Recommended overnight stop, no N1 noise, few minutes on a good ground road. Friendly hostess, spotless cottage with everything you need. Comfortable and well-equipped.
