What Our Guests Say
"We had an amazing weeklong stay at Sonnevleg. The perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle and breathe in some fresh Hantam Karoo air."
Marsunet Horn
"Lovely house. Would recommend to anyone looking for some karoo. Very calm and relaxing."
Lihann Nieuwoudt
"We had a delightful, peaceful and comfortable stay at Sonnevleg. In spite of arriving late, with a flat tyre, in the middle of a widespread electricity blackout, as well as unseasonal high winds and a sandstorm, we had the most amazing, peaceful, and comfortable stay at Sonnevleg. The house is beautiful, and it was a delight to stay there. The hosts had left us a bottle of delicious wine, and several battery lanterns to make up for the lack of electricity, and went above and beyond to help us as much as possible to sort out the flat tyre the following day. Such warmth and hospitality is a precious experience of this part of the country.."

"Wonderful farmhouse where you could just become human again! Fresh air and scenery, where timeless Karoo stretches out before you."
Simone S
"Neat, clean well furnished. Absolute value for money. Will definitely recommend. We enjoyed it incredibly much. House is very well furnished, neat and clean. The antique wooden floors in the farmhouse were very special and beautiful. We really enjoyed the jacuzzi which warms up like a donkey and overlooks the Karoo. We will definitely want to visit again. Thank you for the nice stay."

"Return destination. We will definitely go back, and I can recommend anyone to stay at Sonnevleg Self-catering. Our biggest regret is that we only spent one night there. It is definitely also a destination where you can rest and find your soul! We would certainly also recommend visiting the owners for their delicious Karoo lamb, pot bread, rusk, jam, etc. to order! Great, great, great!"

"Absolutely awesome! If you are looking for peace and quiet and a home away from home, and Far from the Maddening Crowds, then this is the place you want! The peace is overwhelming, especially on the first day, as the silence hits you as soon as you have settled down and have a drink on the front porch, where you can sit and look into the very far distance! Coming from Cape Town, where we have Table Mountain, here at Sonnevleg there is a small flat-topped hill which my wife very aptly called The Side Table Mountain, small brother to Table Mountain! We walked all around the farm which was thoroughly enjoyable, and we saw many small animals, and a regular visitor to our porch was a grey mongoose, and on one occasion she slipped past with her young brood! Bird watchers would also be quite happy here with many raptors taking to the skies, aside from all the Little Brown Jobs in abundance! If I could make one suggestion, it would be to advise folk that the Wi-Fi signal is very weak, especially with Vodacom - MTN apparently has no issue. This was a huge thing for us as we have a very elderly parent and the necessity to be in touch with her was paramount - and with limited Vodacom signal, this was not always possible. So, if this aspect could be addressed or mentioned in the blurb, this would help! But please do know that this was the only issue we had! The rest of the time we spent at Sonnevleg was just simply stunning! Loved, loved, loved Sonnevleg! Highly recommended! Thanks so much, Janri! Oh yes! Please do be sure to buy the lamb packs on offer! True Karoo Lamb at its sublime best! Yum!"
