    The place/ environment is very calm and peaceful. Jutie was remarkably welcoming. The dinner and the breakfast was scrumptious. We felt at home away from home. We are definitely going back, there. I would like to recommend this place to anyone who likes nature and calmess to visit it. We had a great time. My mom and all of us can't wait to go back again. Jutie, you are the best. Take a bow, ma'am for the wonderful times you create for your guests.

    It is absolutely stunning! We had a late check-in but still had a very warm welcome. We loved the farm and was a perfect overnight on our way home. We definitely want to go back and for longer!

    none.

    We enjoyed our stay at the farm, and went for a hike on the trails. We also saw some game, and it was a stop over to our next reservation. Will visit again for a longer period. Very nice homely breakfast on offer.

    I can honestly say the only negative thing is that it's a little far out on a dirt road, but even so, the drive is worth it. One thing to note, though, is that the dirt road is quite rocky.(when dry) And if heavy rains have created mud, you need a higher vehicle to pass through. Lower cars may get stuck.

    The house is decorated in a very cute old farm style. The porch provided a lovely view and vibe. The Bed was comfortable and shower was lovely. All room necessities were provided. We didn't bring groceries so the hosts kindly cooked us a meal on short notice. A delicious one at that! Next time we will be sure to have our groceries with as there are no shops nearby! A walk around the area is worth it for the lovely scenery

    Jutie and Willie were so welcoming. The guest house and gardens were absolutely beautiful, and the breakfast deeelicious! The pool overlooking the sheep was a very welcome relief after a day in the hot Karoo. We had a lovely braai and bonfire evening and the hosts even gave us a complimentary glass of wine. We absolutely loved everything and will be back.

    We had bad luck that the swimming pool wasn't in use. That would have made our stay perfect (because of our kids). And it's a bit old, so the bed makes a lot of noise and locking the doors is a bit of a struggle.

    A perfect getaway, a truly hidden gem far away from other people. Jutie was a very friendly host who really took care for us. On the first day she cooked a great healthy meal for us. The place is calm and beautiful. The room was spacious and well equipped.

    The people at Doornfontein are friendly, welcoming, and homey people! The accommodation was beautiful, the rooms were stunning and cozy. I organised a early arrival and late departure due to traveling times and it was no problem, they were happy to have us there. We were on honeymoon and they certainly made it feel special for us. Thank you so much for the incredible stay to everyone at Doornfontein Guest Farm.
