De Cango Farm

The accommodation was beautiful and romantic. The size of the room was spacious and we had a lovely view of animals using the watering hole from room 4. The kitchenette was great if you didn't want to go to the main kitchen, and we were able to use it with the braii outside.There were tea, coffee and single serving UHT milk cartons, and bubble bath for the stand alone bathtub that had a private view to part of the night sky. For stargazers, the reception area has a stunning view of the Milky way. Karoo is very dark at night and should definitely be advertised as a perfect place to see it. They ought to get a telescope as I am sure that would be very popular. There is a projecter and CD player in the communal area, but as wifi is limited and mobile reception is very bad, it is a perfect place to digitally detox. Staff were very keen to help and friendly.

Not enough information about the lack of amenities, such as no grocery stores nearby and no food available to buy on site. It's a 35-40 minute drive to Oudtshoorn for the closest shops, and part of that is on quite a rough terrain road, more suited to 4x4s. We would have had difficulty if we had been in a normal car. If you come prepared it will be perfect.

Love that we were surrounded by nature. Lovely views, cozy cabins, and some peace.

Everything was great.

Smaakvol ingericht! De lapa was prachtig en ruim, en een hele fijne aanvulling op de kamer. Nonkie, de lodge manager, was ontzettend vriendelijk en nam de tijd voor ons. Het is echt een plekje wat iets meer achteraf ligt (10-15 minuten gravel road), maar dit vonden wij juist erg leuk. De weg is ook prima te doen met een doorsnee huurauto, met onze kleine SUV (geen 4x4) ging het soepel. We hadden maar voor 1 nacht geboekt, maar hadden makkelijk langer kunnen blijven!

Lovely place we had the whole place to ourselves.

Love the fact that our deck gave us ring side seats to some local wildlife - sitting there was beautifully peaceful. The room was also nicely styled.

Didn’t love the very long gravel road to the property - we did wonder where on earth we’d committed to staying when we first arrived! You do get used to it but it is a long way to shops and restaurants so be prepared to be completely self sufficient.

Virkelig charmende sted! Rigtig sød lodge ansvarlig.

Det er en meget lang grusvej op til overnatningstedet, hvilket man skal være forberedt på at bruge omkring 20 minutter på. Der er heller ikke rigtig forbindelse hele vejen, der var wifi, men det hoppede lidt af og på. Men igen ikke noget der ødelagde vores oplevelse, og vi var ærgelig over kun at have 1 nat der. Man kunne sagtens bruge et par dage hvis man gerne vil koble helt af!

The shared main building is beautifully styled like an old farmhouse and immediately feels warm and cozy. There are board games, CDs, and video tapes available, which makes it easy to relax and spend time there. We stayed in cottage number 4 and had a lovely view with animals such as ostriches right outside, which was a great experience.

In January, the lake is almost dried up due to the sun, so it looks quite different from the photos – something to be aware of when booking. The bedroom, which is located in a separate cottage, does not have air conditioning but a fan. Fortunately, it cooled down nicely in the evening, and by opening everything up we still had a very good night’s sleep.

Everything perfect

Better hire an SUV to come here, the road is not easy to drive.

Space. View of the animals. Loved the communal space, felt like a home and a farm. Loved the cd player! We were fortunate to have the place to ourselves which felt very special.

Warn people of the bumpy track in to the property as this took quite a while to navigate, if people are in a smaller car it could be more difficult and in the rain would be problematic.
