"We had an absolutely amazing stay at Maskam Farm. Thank you Ancerene. Cant wait for our next visit!"

"Our hostess was friendly and made us feel extremely welcome. The accommodation itself, was comfortable, clean and contained everything we needed for our stay."

"Highly recommend a stay at Maskam Guest Farm. "

"A great place to go when there is no electricity since the little house is all powered by solar engery and gas. A beautiful little place to be and I highly recommend ordering dinner which was delicious. "

"We had a lovely stay at the Berggans house at Maskam Guest Farm. Peace, comfort, quiet, the little house is kitted out with all you need.
"

"A well-equipped, tranquil cottage in beautiful surroundings. Friendly staff and cat ."

"Very kind reception by hostess. Rooms beautifully decorated and clean. Very practical and basic facilities for such a stay-over ...braai, gas cooker, hot water, TV etc. We struggled (failed) to run laptop (Mac) on the inverter power source and could not get onto wi-fi with smartphone (too late into ..."

"Very kind reception by hostess. Rooms beautifully decorated and clean. Very practical and basic facilities for such a stay-over ...braai, gas cooker, hot water, TV etc. We struggled (failed) to run laptop (Mac) on the inverter power source and could not get onto wi-fi with smartphone (too late into the evening to bother hosts). For a guaranteed quiet night's sleep would recommend to avoid Skaapwagter and Piet My Vrou - these two units are adjoined and arrival/departure of one resident may bother the other. Beautiful view for both and generally lovely and quiet setting overall. Good value for money."

Ons het ongelooflik lekker gekuier in ons huisie. Dis so skoon soos kan kom. Als is daar wat jy nodig het tot drie sakke houten bo alles koue water en drie ysbakkies vol ys; iets wat ons nie by diegrandste plekke waar ons die afgelope 11 nagte geslaap het gekry het nie.Dit was wondelik om die son te sien sak en hoe die Maskam en Gigberge van blouna oranje verkleur. Eienaars is wonderlike twee mense wat lekker kangesels. Sal beslis weer daar gaan bly.

We had an incredible time in our house. Everything was as clean as you can get. We got everything we wanted, from three bagsof wood as well as three ice trays; more than we got from the grand place westayed for 11 nights. It was wonderfulto see the Maskam and Gigberge change from blue to orange. The owners are wonderful and like tochat. We will definitely stay hereagain."

"Very clean and scenery awesome."

"Maskam was a great choice for our one-night stop on the way to Augrabies and the Kgalagadi park. The host is great, friendly and always available to help."

"Simply a wonderful place! The setting near Gifberg and Maskam mountains is very scenic. The chalet is very well kept and the veranda offers wonderful views.

I liked the personal touch of supplying flower guide books in the cottage. I wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you Ancarene for a lovely stay. "

The peace and quiet is heavenly, we found it very hard to leave. Ancarene is a wonderful hostess who really cares about her guests' wellbeing and comfort."

"We really enjoyed our stay. The hosts thought of just about everything when they planned this little secluded guest house.

Quiet and beautiful sunsets with the Gifberg mountain providing an unbelievable backdrop to the song of birds in the early evening!"

"Very neat and comfortable little cottage and fully equipped with all you need. For people who enjoy nature and quietness."

"The cottage was well appointed and clean. Lovely peaceful surroundings, one night was just to short to really unwind and enjoy the bird and plant life. Truly worth another visit, especially in the flowering season."

"Die 2 de keer wat ons by Maskam Guest Farm oorslaap. Die huisies is baie skoon en netjies. Die eienaars is baie gasvry en sal enige iets doen om jou verblyf aangenaam te maak. Die uitsig oor die Maskam berge is asemrowend. Beslis die moeite om daar oor te slaap."

"Pragtige plek met die mooiste uitsig.

"Ons het ongelukkig net een aand gebly en dit was te kort, almal het dit baie geniet en dit was alles baie pragtig en 'n ongelooflike aandag aan detail! Die rustigheid en omgewing is prysloos. Baie dankie, ons hoop om gou weer te kom,groete."

"We had a wonderful time. Beautiful farm and very comfortable accommodation. Our hosts were so friendly - and the marked flower walking trail on the farm one of the highlights of our tour. Also wonderful farm delicacies. A recommended drive up the Gifberg pass was unforgettable. Thank you so much."

"We would recommend Maskam as excellent value for money, and the location is splendid. Ancarene was most friendly and made us feel at home!"

"What a gem of a place! Beautiful views and a lovely cottage - and Ancarene provided the most delicious dinner and breakfast!"

Lovely view of the Maskam and Gifberg Mountain, comfortable accommodation although only gas and solar energy used and very central to the major flower regions. Beautiful flowers on the farm and felt like heaven to walk between the flowers and enjoy the sun and the peaceful quietness. Will be back!"

"We loved Maskam Guest Farm, Ancarene was so very accomodating and lovely to deal with! The views of the Maskam and Gifberg mountains was breathtaking at sunset and sunrise! We will definitely be back!"

"A truly amazing weekend. Warm welcome and the guest houses we stayed were spotless and clean! Very accommodating and nothing beats the beautiful surroundings. Will definitely be back again."

"Peaceful and quiet with lovely views."

"Charming hostess, Ancarene, and comfortable, spacious and well-equipped accommodation in Berggans cottage. Fully recommended."

"We both enjoyed our stay and will be back again. Quiet and very peaceful. Just loved it."

"The friendly reception is worth five stars! I imagine that it must be quite difficult to establish a guest farm in such a remote place. Amazingly, one does not lack anything.

We were especially happy about the recommended places to visit, as they proved to be a paradise for botanists. At a certain time the farm is studded with the most interesting flowers."

"We stayed in Piet My Vrou se huis. This small but well presented semi detached cottage served us well for the two days. Ancarene was very accommodating. The flowers were in abundance and the setting facing the Maskam Berg a delight. A nature lovers paradise."

"Great host/hostess, stunning view and awesome experience!"

"It was great to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life for a short time. Thank you for the very pleasant stay."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Maskam in April 2012. The hosts were very welcoming, and the facilities were great. The whole place is 'green' and runs of solar power which we absolutely loved! The March flowers were beautiful - a must see! Thanks for a great spot!"

"A wonderful spacious and tidy cottage with spectacular views of the mountains and very helpful hosts. Highly recommended!"

"Sincere thanks and gratitude go to Ancarene for our very pleasant stay at Maskam Guest Farm during March 2012. The friendly reception by Whisky, the Sheepdog, the neat and well-kept Berggans cottage, and your recommendations of activities to do and places to visit was highly appreciated.

Highlights during our stay include the beautiful mountain views, the starry night sky, and the absolute silence, driving the Gifberg pass, and exploring the Maskam 4X4 route on foot. Our self catering cottage was well equipped and meals and braaiwood could be arranged if required.



Your effort in establishing the Maskam cottages and your passion for creating such a nice oasis in this region is truly appreciated. It is the perfect staging point for exploring this beautiful area even outside of the flower season.



We will definitely recommend Maskam Guest Farm to our friends."

We happily stayed for one night, wish we could stay longer. The cottages have everything you need for a nice relaxing weekend away. Will ensure next visit!

The cottages have beautiful views of the mountains and the tranquility around you is incredible.

Will definitely visit Maskam again.

"We were on tour via Addo Elephant park, Karoo National Park, a stay in Nieuwoudtville area and met with our children form Durbanville for the weekend 29 to 31 August. The reception we received was very friendly with tips given where to see flowers and also advised to take a trip to Gifberg pass. The rooms were clean and neat. The hosts were kind to let us leave our daughters car at the farm whilst we toured the district in my bigger car. I feel the farm offers value for money and rest for the soul."

"To stay in a Selfcatering facility like Maskam "Piet my Vrou"change a persons perspective on life. The stillness of the mountain and calmness when evening creeps on you, is perfect for a weekend away for some me-time!"
