9 guests' feedbackThank you for upgrading us to the Oxwagon Room. It was lovely, very spacious and we had everything we needed.
Staff extremely friendly/courteous. No issues with pets and we were lucky to experience a thunderstorm during our stay.
Lovely roadside rest stop. Two nights can be recommended.
We felt the property was dated, in need of maintenance and cleaning, and the food was very disappointing. The location is exactly halfway between Cape Town and Johannesburg and very convenient.
The service and food were excellent.
I would really like to spend more time on the farm. One night is not enough. From the moment we turned off the N1 until we left the next morning it was just great. The atmosphere, hospitality, food (ate too much), room and bathroom and simply the whole house was a really good experience plus the short game drive. We were further spoiled with the arrival of the owner on the farm. The staff are very good and make you feel very at home and relaxed. We will definitely go there again but definitely for a minimum of two days. The landscape is picturesque.
This elegantly furnished and very comfortable guest house, on a farm formerly owned by Chris Barnard, and conveniently situated a few km off the N1, about 25 km south of Richmond, provided a most restful and nurturing overnight stop on a long journey through the Karoo. The staff were exceptionally welcoming, and paid great attention to detail ensuring that guests were made comfortable. When I arrived, shortly after dark, a vehicle was sent to meet me to see me safely to the homestead. Inside there was an open fire in the lounge, and duty manager Martha and her team had cooked a delicious 3-course dinner. Breakfast was equally tasty. There is an interesting library of books about the Karoo, the Boer War, and much more which owner Jenny has collected over the past 20 years. If you have time, you could sit and read these quietly on the well-furnished wrap-around stoep, while drinking an extra cup of coffee. I enjoyed the visit to Bloemhof Karoo so much I did not want to leave! Thanks to Jenny, Martha, Steven and team for their hospitality and care. I hope to be back again.
This type of hospitality and peace you won't find elsewhere. I could really get some peace. It was top notch.
I will recommend Bloemhof to anyone wanting to experience the beauty of the Karoo. The service of the staff at Bloemhof was excellent and I was really spoiled. I will recommend that you spend at least more than one night here so that you can go walking in the koppies and go for a game drive at Ratelfontein next door.
