"Dot’s Cottage on Langfontein Guest Farm is the perfect place for a Karroo getaway. Close to Graaff-Reinet but it feels so remote. The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable and we received a warm welcome from Joanna who remembered us from a previous visit. Her welcome includes baking a delicious loaf of white bread."

"We had the most beautiful stay at Langfontein Guest Farm. This place was just what we needed nestled between the mountains outside Graaff-Reinet and the dam with weeping Willow trees on your doorstep. The warm hospitality and homemade bread and butter was such a welcome surprise when we arrived at our little farm lodge with stylish decor and luxurious couches, beds and warm blankets. Thanks you so much. We will visit you again!"


"Fantastic, Peaceful Stay"

(South Africa) Susanna Moseley

"We stayed over Christmas 2014, and had a most relaxing time! Dot's Cottage is a lovely place, with a large bedroom, and decently stocked kitchen - I didn't need the pan and pot I'd brought along as there were ample cooking tools, crockery and cutlery. Marliza also supplied a fan and heater (which wo..."

"We stayed over Christmas 2014, and had a most relaxing time! Dot's Cottage is a lovely place, with a large bedroom, and decently stocked kitchen - I didn't need the pan and pot I'd brought along as there were ample cooking tools, crockery and cutlery. Marliza also supplied a fan and heater (which would be useful in winter!), and offered the use of her pool.

There is no reception at the cottage, so don't expect to be in touch with the rest of the world - just enjoy the peace and quiet!"


"The best accomodation we ever had in ZA"

(Georgia) Petra Schiffgen

"Nice, pretty, cosy, fantastic. Very quiet and calm. Owner and clerks very friendly."


"Great Service"

(South Africa) Paul Stander

"A great place to go to when you need to relax. Nice and quiet. Beautiful surroundings and great service staff. Thank you for doing the extra small things that bring people back."


"Langfontein"

(South Africa) Derek Conroy

"Lovely spot far from the beaten track with spectacular views. Dot's Cottage had everything we needed and we will certainly be back."


"Langfontein = Gasvryheid"

(South Africa) Karin Fitzroy

"Wat 'n pragtige plaas?! Die 1830 Cottage is so stylvol, netjies, romanties en ruim. Ons is vriendelik verwelkom met 'n vars gebakte brood en vars melk in die yskas. Doodstil met net die berge en dam om te bewonder. Een aand is te min. Bespreek ten minste 2 aande! "


"One of the best"

(South Africa) claire

"We spent two nights at Langfontein on our way to the coast. We wished we could have spent our whole holiday there. We loved every second of it. Will be back and have already recommended it to friends and family"

"Very nice"

(South Africa) Malcolm Hutchings

"This is not a place for just an overnight as it is quite a long drive from the tarred road. This being said the cottage was most comfortable and the location idyllic. We spent our short time there enjoying the wildlife and solitude. If there were a next time it would be two or three nights."


"Excellent"

(South Africa) Chris Olwage

"If you want to try something else stay here. It is beautiful and just something else."


"A must stay"

(South Africa) Junita Kemp

"What a jewel in the Karoo?!

When we came there, the staff was waiting with a fresh baked bread out of the oven with butter!

They packed our fire and were very friendly.

The house was tidy and there is everything that you needed for a relaxed and comfortable stay."


"A must stay!"

(South Africa) Junita Kemp

"Marliza, you and your team do a great job!

Langfontein is a jewel in the Karoo.

When we came there, the staff brought us a fresh baked bread with butter, still hot out of the oven! They even packed our fire and they were friendly.

The house had everything and more one needed"


"Lekkerste slaap in weke"

(South Africa) Rina Lštter

"Dis regtig 'n besonderse oornagplekkie waar mens defnitief vir meer as een aand moet slaap as jy bietjie wil ontspan en uitrus. Ons het die lekkerste kersligete om 'n eettafel geniet, met 'n kaggeltjie wat brand in een van die warmste huisies propvol liefde en versorg! Langfontein sien ons verseker ..."

"We have truly found a place of utter tranquility and calm with pure comfort and luxury. The farm is set on beautiful grounds with exquisite views. The cottage was impeccably clean,luxuriously and stylishly decorated. Our dinner of Karoo lamb was undoubtably the best we have ever had. A night under the magnificent stars and you feel your stress just dissolve. After a scrumptious breakfast we left what can only be described as utopia."


"Absolutely wonderful"

(South Africa) Bettina Daubermann

"Cosy, quaint and just what you need for a private, relaxed getaway. Friendly staff, we felt very well cared for. Plenty of wood for the fire which created such a warm, homely atmosphere.

"Peaceful"

(South Africa) Hannah Simonds

"Really peaceful spot and gorgeous cottage. Just be aware that it is a 50 minute drive down dirt roads once you leave the main road! So not a great stopover option if you only have one night, better for a few days so you can really enjoy the lovely surroundings."


"Simply the best!"

(South Africa) Janine vd Merwe

Having gone back after 30 years and spending time at Langfontein Guest Farm in Dot's cottage had to be the most delightful, recharging, spiritual and serene time I have spent anywhere in my life.

"The Karoo has always been special to me, having grown up there. Having gone back after 30 years and spending time at Langfontein Guest Farm in Dot's cottage had to be the most delightful, recharging, spiritual and serene time I have spent anywhere in my life. If you want to truly get away from it all and experience the real Karoo (South Africa's best kept secret) I truly recommend Langfontein Guest Farm. Marlize and Co will ensure you have the best time ever!"


"Blissful tranquility"

(South Africa) Andil Petzer

"Stunning, stunning, stunning retreat that we can't wait to visit again! A bit of a drive on gravel but from the moment you arrive on the farm it is heaven. The cottage is spotless and quaintly decorated and exudes that holiday feel. Can't wait to visit again with friends and family! "

"Lovely Experience"

(Swaziland) Fiona

"The place is beautifully kept and the owner was extremely helpful. We arrived and was served with deliciously fresh home-made bread and farm butter. It was away from the city, but the peace and quiet of the environment was worthwhile. I would love to stay there again."


"Wonderful stay in the heart of the Karoo"

(South Africa) Julien

"Such a fantastic place with incredibly friendly hosts. Hospitality was beyond our wildest expectations. Very comfortable cottages and Joanna baked us a glorious loaf of bread. Will definitely be returning."

"We stayed for two nights in Dot's Cottage and we will never forget it. This is a very peaceful and quiet place. The Cottage is very lovely and also beautiful decorated. In every room there are fresh flowers. We were surprised to find fresh baked bread, homemade marmelade, milk and farm eggs to make breakfast. What a special and unexpected treat. We booked dinner twice and it was excellent. It was African Kitchen with fresh products from the farm. Fantastic! Wood was available to make our own fire on the veranda in the evening. Very romantic! Marliza is a perfect hostess. She is extremely helpful and does so much that we were relaxed. She and her stuff were lovely. We felt welcome and at home from the first moment we arrived. We highly recommend this Guest Farm and we will come back and again and again."
