72 guests' feedbackExcellent dinner in a nice atmosphere.
Zeekoegat is a place in heaven, and I wished that we could have stayed longer. The accommodation is impeccable. The farm is what dreams are made of. The host was welcoming and took exceptional care of my husband and me and our dog, Mila. The catering was absolutely 5 star. Although quite a drive from the main road, it was well worth it and we hope to return soon.
A real experience. We chose the option to eat in the evening in their beautiful reception room and the food was top notch. Special tastes and the hospitality from Chante was simply out of another world. A hidden gem and although not on a main route I would make an effort to stay here if looking for accommodation in the Carnarvon area.
Zeekoegat was our favorite of our 7 overnight stops on our Namakwa/Karoo tour, I highly recommend this gem.
It was nice. Everything was very clean and tidy.
Very good place to stay! Extremely hospitable. This is exactly what one is looking for in the Karoo. Next time I will stay longer. GPS makes you drive wrong, can be corrected with direction signs, as well as signs that indicate that you are indeed on the right road.
Chante and her son received us very well despite our booking being wrong. She gave us delicious lamb chops and sausage. We were able to have a great barbecue that evening, slept well and had a nice breakfast. Very friendly and helpful hostess. It was a good experience. Beautiful farm.
Absolutely wonderful! Warmly recommended.
Hearty and homely. Chante was a superb and generous host. They even braaied for us. And breakfast - oh, goodie! Our three city boys also enjoyed meeting a new friend, Dawid - a proper plaasjapie and wonderful young man. If we pass those parts again, we'll be sure to visit again.
This place is an absolute gem! An oasis in the Karoo on the most spectacular farm. The hospitality and food from the host and her precious family were top tier. We will be back and left a piece of our heart behind.
Absolutely fantastic.
Very nice stay. Very sociable people. Couldn't do enough to make us feel at home. Would recommend the place to anyone who enjoys farm life. We were a group of 9 people. Landed there with 5 x Gyro Copters and spent the night. Beautiful long runway. Fuel available. Klein Jan and his wife treated us like kings. Thank you very much, you are great!
Very cozy place with the most beautiful stars. Best farm breakfast.
Oasis in the Karoo. What an amazing place and the hospitality is amazing.
Hospitality, good hostess. Incorrigible.
It would help if one knows in advance that there is no Vodacom network.
Great atmosphere, excellent food.
A piece of Karoo heaven!
Excellent hostess, facilities, comfort, and dinner and breakfast. Would definitely recommend Zeekoegat Country House to travellers needing to stay overnight in this region of the Karoo.
Hostess makes an effort with every aspect of visit, the farm is a pleasure court, meals delicious, accommodation is a great treat.
The facilities are excellent. You are away from other people. There are no cell phone or WiFi signals in and around the cottage. Without social media, we could chat as a family without a thing or a dong bothering us. The dinner and breakfast were also off the books.
Chante is a special hostess who made us feel at home and served us delicious meals. The cottages are very well appointed and the decor is stylish.
It was our second stay and we can't wait to go back.
Everything we enjoyed as well as our cottage where we stayed can easily be recommended to anyone. We appreciated that the hostess warned us in advance about 2 bad spots on the way to the farm.
It was worth it. Feel free to stay a day longer.
It's tempting to say that Zeekoegat should be visited for the sake of the food, because Shanti can make "peasant food" taste like Michelin 5-star, but there is much more to such a visit. The silence, the vastness of the environment. Maybe horse riding too, or see Khoisan rock paintings and the beautiful rose garden, or just walk. If you want and can, you can fly there too. The cross runways are well maintained with no obstructions. Just one safety tip: the junction road (from Carnavon or from Vosburg) is hit by washouts and there are dangerous dongas across the road in places. Just drive carefully and slowly.
We were very impressed with our stay. It is artfully and tastefully done. Food was top notch. The welcome was as friendly as if you had arrived at family you hadn't seen in a long time.
We had the most wonderful time at Zeekoegat Guest House. Chante is a fantastic host. The delivery of our Karoo lamb for the braai, together with hearty farm sides, by Chante and her sister-in-law, was a personal touch that is indicative of the care that has been put into this guest house. This off-the-beaten-track spot offers a place for carefree family time. Many small details have been considered and beautifully executed.
Gem of a place, remote and quaint, and excellent value for money.
Absolutely wonderful! Chante is the perfect host and we felt so at home. The cottage is cute but comfortable, we enjoyed the beautiful fireplace and sky full of stars at night. All meals were delicious! The kids loved the play area in the garden as well as the horseback riding and even a few rounds on the quad. We're definitely planning on returning!
Incredible destination. Best stopover on the way to the West Coast.
Very good location, neat and safe. The meals were delicious and were received very hospitably!
It was an incredible experience for us. Chante spoiled us with the most delicious dinner and breakfast, her hospitality and kindness is infectious. We felt so at home. Thank you very much. Definitely recommendable for an unforgettable experience. A piece of heaven in the Karoo.
Beautiful oasis with nice hostess and wonderful living facilities. We arrived late and our fire was already packed and all the food set up with a cold beer in the fridge. Truly a great place to rest after a long day on SA roads. I can highly recommend it.
The pioneers cottage was so cute and comfy. Lovely walks, cycling routes and birding walks. The cherry on the top, was the excellent dinner and breakfast. We watched the sheep being sheared, was special. Chante is a fabulous host.
Everything was beautiful on the farm! And this dinner great!
Had a great stay and was received very hospitably. We had a nice dinner and breakfast and will make a stop there again when we drive down to the Cape.
Would recommend to anybody travelling to or from the Cape.
Very tasteful and well equipped accommodation. Contreikos from the top shelves. Very pleasant and hospitable people. The dirt road is not bad and it is worth the effort to drive it. Recommend Zeekooegat without any reservation.
The food provided was wonderful. The host was very generous with regards to use of the quad bike.
Our cottage was clean, tidy and adequately equipped. The farm itself offers plenty to do - swimming, walking trails and bird watching. Chante, our hostess, went out of her way to make our visit as effortless and carefree as possible, and every meal was a feast.
Difficult to find but at the end we got there. Travel directions need to be clearer.
We really enjoyed our overnight stay on Zeekoogat! The house was beautiful, clean and we slept great. Chanté received us very kindly and made us feel so welcome, and her food was top notch. The farm is beautiful and definitely worth spending the night here. Even our four-legged child was welcome! Will stay here again for sure!
The most beautiful lodge! Wonderful hospitality. Rest for your soul!
We were warmly received and immediately felt at home. Chante is an amazing hostess. The dinner and breakfast were of the best quality and you can see that Chante put a lot of love into the food. The cottage was very clean and tidy and met all our requirements for an overnight stay. Chante has thought of the finest detail with fresh, hand-picked roses from her garden in every room, nothing is too much trouble for her. The farm is perfectly located in the Karoo for an overnight stay with silence, starry splendor and peace of mind. Zeekoogat is a must and we will definitely see again!
When you wish that a place like Zeekoegat could be your own, for us it is an indication of the absolute comfort, style and peace that you rarely experience outside your own home. Zeekoegat is unique, stylish and spotless with a host and hostess who spare no effort. Every meal that was served was exquisite and served with loads of flair. We would definitely like to make it an institution to be able to come at least annually to experience our own inner peace.
See stars.
We were incredibly well received, the room is beautiful. The food is delicious. Can highly recommend Zeekoegat.
See stars.
Chante and Jan welcomed us with open arms and made us feel at home. The farm is not only picture-perfect but stylishly furnished. We come again!
We had the Karoo at its best, the house to stay in, the food to eat, the people we mixed with were a major treat for us. It was an exceptional privilege to be able to spend time with Chante and the food and wine that she served (leg of lamb and all) was top notch. The breakfast on the mountain was great! Thanks.
This was an absolutely delightful stay. Quaint stone cottages with all amenities required and the most delicious cuisine served magnificently by Chante. We felt thoroughly spoilt and the 3 fur kids ran their hearts out in the wonderful space at our disposal.
Thank you very much Chante for your hospitality and the great treat with the delicious meals. Your place is definitely recommended for anyone who wants to get away from the city noise. It was an ideal overnight stop for us on our way back home, would like to see more of your beautiful surroundings.
We had a great time visiting, sleeping, cycling and eating on the farm.
Worth driving a little further to experience this gem, 5-star Karoo farm at its best, hospitality like few. Thank you Chanté and Jan, we will visit again and are already looking forward to it!
Dit was fantasties, Chante het ons so tuis laat voel en die huisie is pragtig en netjies. Ons het rond gestap, in 'n plaasdam geswem en tot laat in die nag op die gras gelê en sterrekyk. Aandete en ontbyt was stylvol voorgesit. Dit was 'n great ervaring en ek kan dit beslis aanbeveel.
Chante and Jan went out of their way to make us feel at home. Beautiful housing. Friendly people. The location was ideal for us.
Jan went out of his way to make our stay fabulous. Delicious meals with top class service. Many thanks for providing fuel for our aircraft too, what excellent service.
Wonderful stay and Chante spoiled us with the most delicious food and breakfast! Our boy was also taken along to feed cattle and was a highlight. Great for cooling off in the farm pond too. Thank you very much for your hospitality and blessings to you!
Definitely worth the drive out to this farm. The farm and accommodation are incredibly beautiful, clean and pleasing to the eye. Chante's hospitality and kindness is incredible, she really cares about her visitors and goes the extra mile to make the stay as pleasant as possible for the weary traveller. The food is top notch and everything is affordable. Can definitely recommend it!
We had a great time once again! Breakfast and dinner were delicious! Thank you Chante!
There are not too many starkly beautiful and truly isolated places left. At Zeekoegat you won’t need to turn off your phone, the Karoo obliges. Disconnected, warmly welcomed, well fed and with the milky way to refresh your soul, the farm is an idyllic road trip rest stop. Switch to vacation mode here, slough off the things that doesn't matter, get some perspective. A wonderful spot, can’t recommend it enough.
You need to go and find your own awesome view.
Attention to the smallest detail! It's a beautiful place, quiet and peaceful. The food is top notch and Chanté is a fantastic hostess! Looking forward to our next visit on Zeekoegat!
Pet friendly accommodation. Beautiful karoo farm with neat and cozy accommodation. Delicious dinner on the veranda with carol lamb and hot vegetables as Grandma would make it. Even though it was taxing, our hostess spoiled the teenagers with marshmallows and candles under the Karoo stars. Thanks for the nice night, Chante!
From the moment we got there everything was just better than we expected. The cottage had everything we needed and so much more. The attention to detail was really very good. The dinner and breakfast were prepared with great effort and delicious. The swimming pool was a pleasant surprise and the children really enjoyed it.
Excellent, hospitable, food was just the best. Everything was wow, very very nice stay there.
The silence, beautiful stars, stylish house and delicious meals made for unforgettable Karookuier.
Zeekoegat Plaas is a little off the beaten track, as we say in English, between the Karoo villages of Vosburg and Carnarvon. But it's 100 percent worth it. The accommodation is in an old stone house: it's neat and stylish, and you look out onto a hill right behind you. Then there is the legendary Karoo hospitality - a drink on the stoep before dinner, which is the most amazing farm food, with a sophisticated twist to it. After dinner we lay on the day bed and star gazed, the likes of which you can never see in the city. And the silence... All you hear is the wind through the eucalyptus trees, and then every now and then a sheep bleating. Next time I will stay much longer than just one night!
Beautiful, charming, neat and clean cottage. The hostess's cordiality is very special. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely go again.
Friendly pleasant reception. Accommodation extremely exquisite.
Chanté made us delicious food and Jan went out of his way to help us with our flat tire. Accommodation was clean and tidy. I recommend Zeekoegat to get the full Karoo experience!
