Guest Testimonials

Our stay at Jantjie Farm Stay was exceptional. The accommodation was spotless, beautifully maintained, and every amenity had been thoughtfully provided. The fireplace created a warm and magical atmosphere, making the experience even more special. The host went out of her way to accommodate us, even welcoming us at 2am after our late arrival. A true gem that offers comfort, hospitality, and attention to detail – highly recommended.

Lucas Solignac-Lecomte

The property is just off the N2 freeway and easily accessible. It’s very clean, neat and high-end beds and amenities. From big LED TV to Nespresso this little gem has it all. There is a nice fireplace and ample wood.

 

Rudolph

What a wonderful surprise! Jantjie Cottage is an incredible little gem, tucked away just off the N2 between Riversdale and Albertinia. It’s the perfect stopover on our way to the Eastern Cape. The hosts were so friendly, and the true farm atmosphere made us feel instantly home. The decor is beautifully done with a timeless charm, creating a warm and inviting space. We also had the opportunity to drive through the game camp, which was an absolute highlight. We will definitely make this one of our regular stopovers!

The best host you will find. Zarita and family embodies the warm and caring heart of the Cape. The house is comfortable and well thought out, containing all you need in pristine condition plus some luxuries. The absolute perfect stop-over!
