À fantastic and caring host, went far beyond their duty to make my stay comfortable. The accommodation is world class and the view breathtakingly beautiful. Would give it 6 stars if I could.
Friendly reception, lovely cottage with great view. Well equipped, only some of the electric plugs did not work. Bedside lights kept on flickering like Xmas tree lights. Will use this place again and recommend it to others.
Beautifully equipped and maintained cottage. We were very impressed by the amenities. It is well situated a short way outside of Oudtshoorn. The staff, Debbie, was very attentive and helpful. Would highly recommend this stay
Clean, beautiful and Debbie went out of her way to make our stay worthwhile.
Our 2nd visit to Varkenskraal and once again a very pleasant 2 night stay! Thanks Debbie for the warm welcome and spotlessly clean unit - Die Voerstal!
A charming spacious cottage, overlooking the beautiful Varkenskraal farm. Highly recommended.
Everything was in tip-top shape. Fully self-service if that is what you are looking for.
Friendly welcome, no-fuss stay.
We only stayed for one night but will return for more. Beautiful cottage, peaceful and good for one's soul.
A chilled (free) bottle of Varkenskraal Chenin Blanc is not a bad way to welcome guests. We left the next morning with six more (paid) ones ...
We had a wonderful stay at Varkenskraal Farm. Our unit was absolutely stunning and the location even better. After a long day, we enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and really relaxed. The complimentary bottle of wine was a plus. Beautiful units, beautiful views. Everything you could want!
So surprised to find this delightful wine farm, at the southern end of Meiringspoort. A very worthwhile stay at such a reasonable daily rate. I have never stayed in such a well appointed self catering cottage. The bed linen is top quality, as is all of the cottage including the complimentary bottle of wine. Will recommend to friends.

Small town full of gems and beautiful places to visit
Pluim restaurant, wonderful food.
So peaceful, the house is very well equipped.
Loved the braai pit and lovely view from the patio
Definitely worth every cent
The Karoo is a beautiful place. We visited THE TRAVELING TORTOISE for a weekend. We were welcomed by the owner, Jeff, who took us to our chalet. The chalet is very neat. Jeff showed us around and light our wood-fired hot tub.
I will recommend this trip for young and old. Our kids enjoyed the freedom of roaming around and the 'older' enjoyed the nature and quite.
Here with a friend.
It was only an overnight stay but we love the place anyway.
