Sentrale ligging met pragtige blomme tot teenaan die akkommodasie!

Stilte en gasvryheid dra by tot wonderlike ervaring en sielerus op 'n plaas ryk aan geskiedenis! Gasvrou het kaart en inligting beskikbaar gestel van waar om mooi blomme te sien, ens.

Central location with beautiful flowers right up to the accommodation!

Silence and hospitality contribute to a wonderful experience and peace of mind on a farm rich in history! Hostess provided map and information about where to see beautiful flowers, etc.

Het elke oomblik geniet. Dankie, Esmi.

Plaaslekker. Die stilte en natuur het ons bekoor. Dadelik tuis gevoel. Pragtige omgewing. Bedags die blomme, snags die sterre.

Authentic and stunning rural stay with all home comforts.

Our host Esmi was very helpful, friendly and accommodating. Thanks so much for making us feel so welcome and at home. We loved this farm property with its big fireplace and crisp quality and comfortable bed linens. The accommodation was spacious and very authentic. The decor was lovely and felt very comfortable. Although we needed to drive 11 km on a gravel road to get to the farm, the property and surroundings were beautiful and well worth the drive. We loved the fields and seeing the Namaqualand flowers and a little Duiker too. This is a safe and very peaceful gem of a location. It has a rural charm and style to it. We really enjoyed our one-night stay and would recommend this place to others. Phone signal is limited here and connecting to the internet was also limited. This may be a problem for some guests but for us, this was fine and added to the tranquillity of our stay in one of the world's rare and lovely remote places. Whatsapp and text messages do get through after a delay. Put the phones aside and enjoy the peace and quiet with stunning views and a cosy indoor fire. Thanks so much for an unforgettable stay.

Blommekyk saam vriende.

Esmi het ons hartlik ontvang en wenke gegee vir blombesigtiging. Netjiese en skoon verblyf. Ons sal hierdie beslis as aandoenpunt voorstel vir mense wat in die rigting reis. Die plaas was natuurlik 'n blommeparadys September.

Esmi received us warmly and gave us tips for flower viewing. Neat and clean accommodation. We would definitely suggest this as a point of departure for people traveling in the direction. The farm was of course a flower paradise in September.

Very comfortable and well equipped cottage, perfect for flower-viewing. Hospitable and helpful hosts.

This self-catering cottage is ideal for seeing the Namaqualand flowers and for exploring the area. It is a perfect farm get-away and we felt extraordinarily fortunate to find this spot through the website. We cannot recommend this accommodation more highly!

Grootvallei Plaas het ons siele gevoed!

Esmi het ons baie welkom laat voel, ons het haar humorsin en stories oor die plaas geniet! Ons het kilometers oor die plaas gestap en die mooiste blomme gesien. Die huisie is baie goed toegerus, ons het saans tot laat op die stoep gesit en kyk na die sterre. Dit was heerlik om soggens wakker te word met die geblêr van skape. Ons wens haar alle sukses toe vir die toekoms!

Grootvallei Farm fed our souls!

Esmi made us feel very welcome, we enjoyed her sense of humor and stories about the farm! We walked for kilometers across the farm and saw the most beautiful flowers. The house is very well equipped, we sat on the porch until late at night and looked at the stars. It was lovely to wake up in the morning to the bleating of sheep. We wish her every success for the future!

Dit was 'n rustige en aangename verblyf.

Ons het oor die Wildeperdehoekpas gery na Grootvalleij. Dis 'n pragtige omgewing, ten spyte van die feit dat daar nie hierdie jaar blomme was nie. Esmi se hartlike ontvangs het ons sommer ekstra tuis laat voel. Dankie ook vir die wenk om 'n "sundowner" te gaan geniet op die uitdraai pad in die pas - dit was baie spesiaal! Ons was 3 persone: ek en my man en my broer en het in die Kliphuisie en die Stoephuisie gebly. Alles was silwerskoon, met alles wat ons moontlik kon nodig kry. Die uitsig is pragtig! Hier is die nagte so donker (tog so veilig) dat dit voel jy kan die sterre bietjie herrangskik. Die Kliphuisie en die Die Stoephuis het definitief op ons "weer-doen-lys" beland. Ons sien julle gou weer!

It was a peaceful and pleasant stay.

We drove over the Wildeperdehoek pass to Grootvalleij. It's a beautiful setting, despite the fact that there were no flowers this year. Esmi's warm welcome made us feel extra at home. Thanks also for the tip to go and enjoy a "sundowner" on the exit road in the pass - it was very special! We were 3 people: me and my husband and my brother and stayed in the Kliphuisie and the Stoephuisie. Everything was spotless, with everything we could possibly need. The view is beautiful! Here the nights are so dark (yet so safe) that it feels like you can rearrange the stars a bit. The Kliphuisie and the Die Stoephuis definitely ended up on our "do-again list". We'll see you again soon!

Uitstekende verblyf in pragtige omgewing.

Ons het hierheen gereis om blommetjies te sien - helaas geen blommetjies nie weens die droogte. Nietemin het ons drie goeie dae gehad en van die Namakwalandse landskappe geniet. Die verblyf was skoon en netjies en gesellig ingerig. Alles wat ons benodig het was beskikbaar en ons het veral van die plaasgeluide gehou. Vriendelike eienaars en 'n baie vriendelike hond!
