  • "Fire, flowers and stars"

    13 August 2018

    "The little stone house was clean, comfortable and romantic. The house host was very gentle. You can have a fire just outside the house, cook nd see the amazing stars."

  • "Absolute isolation"

    13 July 2018

    "Absolute bliss and quiet place in die middle of nowhere. The Kliphuis is a mist to stay."

  • "Great place to get away from it all!"

    02 May 2018

    "My family and I spent four wonderful nights in Tillie's House on this very beautiful and peaceful farm. Set practically in the middle-of-nowhere to a majestic backdrop of natural beauty surrounding it on every side (mountains, rocks and the most amazing views of the moon at night), it's a great place to unwind and leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind. Only powered by solar energy, candles and lanterns, there no plugs for charging (only at the main house), no internet access and hardly any mobile signal. Kids need no jungle gym or play area, it's a great place to be outside, walking, hiking, biking, petting/seeing animals, climbing rocks and discovering everything and anything there is to discover. A big plus for us was that dogs are allowed. There are only 4 houses and loads and loads of space. No privacy issues, no noise issues and no security issues. Everybody sleeps with the doors unlocked and leaves the doors unlocked. It is a very safe place and the owners and the few staff are extremely friendly.It's also a great place to stay while exploring other areas of Namaqualand. It's only about an hour's drive from Namaqua National Park and Hondeklipbaai with it's charming residents, beachfront and ship wreck is also worth a visit.All in all, a wonderful stay. The only suggestion I would give is to update the accommodations a bit. While it is charming to be in the old houses, our house needed repairs in some places and could use a bit of update. The house always felt cold even when it was warm outside and a little more light would really add a lot. The geyser in one of the bathroom stopped working twice during our stay and a staff member had to come fix it. Luckily there was another bathroom attached to another geyser which always worked. One of the toilets also had very little water pressure. In spite of that, we will definitely return."

  • "Awesome setting!"

    28 September 2017

    "The farm is just what we needed. We stayed in Tillie's House which was charming and comfortable. Old enough to make you feel that you have gone back in time, with the decor to match. With no electricity, oil lamps and candles lit the rooms, yet the modern amenities of a gas stove, hot water, etc. were there. The night sky and the surrounding scenery was awesome! Our hosts, Pieter en Verencia are friendly, special people and when I stupidly got my van stuck in the sand on a road I should not have driven down, they were eager to solve the problem. We would most definetly stay there again!"

  • "Great place"

    02 September 2017

    "Very friendly and helpful. We could go for long beautifull walks. Very cozy"

  • "Die hartlike ontvangs wat ons gekry het. Ons het so welkom gevoel."

    24 August 2017

    "As jy wil rus en wegkom van alles, is Verbe net die plek vir jou. Ons het lekker gebly en die Namakwaland geniet. Sal weer daar wil gaan kuier."

  • "Quiet"

    23 August 2017

    "Great place out of reach in the middle of no where."

  • "Beautiful surroundings!"

    20 August 2017

    "Our stay at Verbe Noheep farm was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived and were welcomed by Verencia-until we said good-bye! Verencia could not do enough to ensure that we were happy and satisfied. The accommodation was perfect and I could not find anything to fault it-even when it comes to kitchen utensils everything was provided. The surrounding area is beautiful with 'klip rantjies' , quiver trees and if there were flowers worthwhile mentioning this year-I am positive the veld would have been a colourful carpet. Well recommended to anyone who wants to visit the Kamieskroon area."

  • "Glorious tranquility"

    08 July 2017

    "What a gem! This little cottage is so amazingly decorated and equipped. It is a perfect hideaway for two. LED solar strip lights make the paraffin lamps and candles unnecessary, but the latter are plentiful. No detail has been overlooked: the outside seating areas including one with elevated fireplace/braai looking out towards the mountains are wonderful evening spots. Loved it! If using GoogleMaps coming from the north, do NOT take the "shortcut" it suggests off the highway: 4x4 high-clearance road only! Use the road directly to the farm."

  • "absolute tranquility"

    18 June 2017

    "The area is absolutely magnificent, and the seeing a bat eared fox and meerkat on the farm was a bonus!"

  • "Where the 'Heaven's' are almost in reach!"

    02 March 2017

    "Again, got some wonderful 'soul food' at this most exquisite, friendly and caring oasis in the Heart of Namaqualand. Yes it was warm and dry and I would have loved a dip in a pool, but the scenic location amongst an ancient 'Giants' Rockery,' the magic of dawn and sunset, the best open-air 'planetarium' available and wild life for the connoisseur made up for the experience. Spring is obviously the best time. I will certainly return, often!"

  • "Uitstekend"

    01 January 2017

    "Stil, pragtige omgewing, gemaklike akkommodasie en hartlike gasvryheid. Hoogs aan te beveel."

  • "Absolutely incredible"

    11 October 2016

    "The best guest house experience we've had. We booked 4 nights in the Kliphuis and extended our stay to 6 nights."

  • "fantastic accommodation"

    02 October 2016

    "We were a party of four and all of us agreed that the facilities at Verbe Farm were of the highest standards. Comfortable beds and good linen. Special touches like flowers in all the rooms made it very welcoming. Hosts were very helpfull. Well done. We will stay there again if we visit the area in the future"

  • "Hier ons weer!!"

    09 September 2016

    "Ons het verskriklik lekker gebly in die Kliphuis vir die tweede keer. Oom Pieter en tannie Verenchia is twee dierbare mense. Die rustigheid van die plek is ontspannend en siels verkwikkend. Ons kom beslis weer.<br/>Chris en Karin Henning<br/>Johannesburg"

  • "Authenic Farm Stay"

    01 September 2016

    "Enjoyed our brief but comfortable stay in Letjie's Cottage at Verbe. Beautiful old house but with a touch of modern comfort just enough to make our stay pleasant."

  • "Could have stayed there for a few dats!"

    22 August 2016

    "Verbe Farm accommodation was very clean, everything you need, enough space for 6 adults, and a bathroom for every couple! 2 families with 4 children can stay there. You can stay for a few days while making day trips from the farm. We use candles and oil burning lamps but there are batteries for lights and a refrigerater."

  • "Traveling back in time"

    10 August 2016

    "The venue is nestled in the Kamieskroon mountains and offers spectacular views of the surrounding areas. Our little cottage named Letjie is just big enough for two and offers solar electricity, gas geysers, an indoor braai and absolute bliss. The Namaqualand hospitality that this reason is renowned for truly was evident from our first meeting with the owners Verencia and Pieter, right down to the little extras like home-made rusks, fresh milk, jam and shower gel in our cottage.A must-visit!<br/>"

  • "Wonderlijk Kliphuis"

    18 January 2016

    "Verencia en Pieter, wij hebben enorm genoten van ons tweedaags verblijf in jullie Kliphuis. Bijna een museum om te bezichtigen, een absolute aanrader voor iedereen die naar Namaqualand gaat. Een huisje met een ruimte en vrijheid dat werkelijk uniek is. De aandacht en liefde waarmee het is ingericht straalt ervan af. Ons verblijf bij jullie en de heerlijke gesprekken met jullie nemen wij met veel plezier als herinnering mee terug naar Nederland."

  • "Authentic bliss"

    04 January 2016

    "Thank you for a beautiful stay in Gertjies cottage. We loved theauthentic Cape Dutch feel, and loved the evening walk. We even spotted asmall buck on the way out."

  • "Beauriful farm and excellent hosts"

    28 September 2015

    "We loved this farm as part of our Namaqualand / West Coast road trip. The farm itself is beautiful and the accommodation quaint. The hosts were brilliant and we absolutely loved the jam and rusks the lovely lady of the farm provided. Would definitely visit again and the kids loved it!"

  • "A relaxing place with nice places to walk and nice views"

    18 September 2015

    "We stayed 4 nights at the Gertjies cottage. Very private cottage with everything you need to enjoy your stay. I loved the views from the cottage.<div>Our host Verentia was very helpful providing us with maps and recommendations of drives and places to visit. We also found some nice rocky places in the farm to walk and look for flowers and succulent plants. Verentia was so nice she even shared with us some of her nice lemons from the orchard and some rooibos tea to go with it.</div><div><br /></div><div>Saw a group of 4 bat-eared foxes just beyond our cottage. Many flowers still visible at the time of our stay.</div><div><br /></div><div>The cottage does not have electricity to charge electronic devices but we did that at the main house no problem.</div><div><br /></div><div>Lovely place and very comfortable beds. </div><div><br /></div><div>Rosario Douglas</div>"

  • "Rustic and cosy stone cottage"

    07 September 2015

    "The cottage was well-equipped and although no electricity, we did just fine with solar light, candles, gas lamps and a gas stove and geyser. A great way to go back to basics!"

  • "A delightful stay"

    07 September 2015

    "Great stay and true value for money! Our two hosts could not have been more welcoming caring and attentive. The kliphuis is a delightful, most comfortable experience to stay in and lacks for nothing. Best rusks and marmelade on the planet! Awesome tranquility and very beautiful early morning and late afternoon walks on the farm. A very worthwhile experience that only a true yobo would not appreciate.<div>We are certainly going back.</div>"

  • "Verbe Farm - perfect for cyclists"

    21 August 2015

    "We loved Verbe Farm. Cottages were "off grid" but fully equipped for self catering. Beautiful location well away from the lights of towns so the night sky was spectacular. We were a group of four gentlemen cyclists. We cycled extensively in the area on Mountain Bikes. There are lovely rides along the dirt roads and tracks in the countrysidesurrounding Verbe farm. We also transported our bikes to various starting points in the area and did some excellent circular routes. Highly recommended as a base for cyclists of all levels."

  • "A little slice of paradise..."

    18 August 2015

    "What an incredible place to stay! Verbe Farm was just magical, from the warm welcome of Pieter and Verencia to our cosy stone cottage with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.<div><br /></div><div>Tucked away in a hidden valley, you are surrounded by the tranquility and beauty of nature- we had bat-eared foxes in scuffling around in the fields in front of our cottage!</div><div><br /></div><div>The accommodation was excellent - our little cottage has everything we needed from home-baked rusks and jams to homemade fire-lighters for the indoor fireplace - just perfect.</div><div><br /></div><div>The farm is surrounded by wild flowers and the Namaqualand National Park is a short drive away, so it's the ideal spot for a wild flowers trip.</div><div><br /></div><div>I would highly recommend this beautiful little farm and we will most definitely be going back again and again!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>"

  • "Lovely place to stay"

    09 July 2015

    "<p>We had a lovely stay at Gertjie se huis -very cosy and peaceful. Baie dankie vir die gul ontvangs, Pieter en Verencia - ons is jammer ons kon nie nog 'n nag oorslaap nie.</p>"

  • "Wonderful"

    13 October 2014

    "What a find! Such a beautiful place and owners Pieter and Verencia are absolutely wonderful. Cant wait to make the trip up the N7 again just to stay with this hospitable and generous couple."

  • "Letjie"

    20 September 2014

    "The wind was howling and it had just rained so the indoor fireplace was most welcome. We had a quite and peaceful evening to awake to sunshine and an awesome environment. The location is magic and the candles that night added to the feel of being out and beyond.Thanks for the hospitality"

  • "Great spot in Namaqualand"

    07 September 2014

    "We stayed there for two nights during late August. Very friendly owners. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with this "old time" flavour (no electricity, no central heating). It was really cold outside the night we arrived but we never felt cold thanks to the fireplace and the cosy bed.Not far from the N7 (7km), the gravel road is very decent. A fantastic place to stay in if you want to explore Namaqualand."

  • "Simply the MOST charming"

    22 August 2014

    "We had an exceptional experience staying at Verbe Farm during our recent honeymoon in South Africa. The delightful owners, Pieter and Verenica rushed out to meet us on our arrival. Verenica's warmth was so enveloping I felt she may be a long lost relative.The stone cottage we stayed in had been lovingly appointed with antiques. There is no electricity but that only added to the charm. Candles, oil lamps and an inside fireplace/braai kept plenty of light and warmth through the night. Since it is also a working farm, we went to sleep to the sounds of the nearby sheep and woke to chickens and birds. It was wildflower season (August) so the already beautiful surroundings were even more beautiful than normal. Our only regret is that we stayed only one night. We would have gladly stayed another."

  • "Verbe- Leitje cottage"

    21 May 2014

  • "Perfect location"

    17 January 2014

    10 October 2013

It was wonderful to be able to walk where we liked on the farm -before the weather turned nasty! Letjie's house is simple but well equipped. Having no electricity is not a problem. Warm bed and very hot water. Thanks to our hosts for all the help they gave us for our next stage."

  • "Verbe Plaas"

    27 September 2012

    "Het twee nagte gebly maar dit moes eerder twee weke gewees het. Die blomme, die vriendeliheid en gasvryheid was ewe hoogstaande. Akkommodasie sonder elektriesiteit(met gas en sonkrag) het ons na ons kinderdae laat verlang. Dankie Verencia en Pieter."

  • "Fantastic hospitality!"

    25 September 2012

    "We stayed at Tillie's House for three days. Being a family of six, we're loud, messy and curious. Pieter and Verencia greeted us like family and booked us into the spacious and excellently equipped Tillie's house. The farm scenery is breathtaking and there is ample space to explore and enjoy the field flowers and mountains. Definitely recommended."

  • "Kliphuis"

    12 September 2012

    "What a magnificent place to spend away from home. Having no electricty was a wonderful way to get back to your roots, the huge comfy bed needs mentioning, the brilliant night sky, and majestic fields of daisies all added to a wonderful time. Thanks so much to Pieter and Verencia for inviting us in as part of their family. We love, love, loved it!"

  • "Verbe verblyf"

    29 June 2012

    "Pragtige omgewing met wonderlike en vriendelike mense. Woonplek baie skoon en netjies. Wees net daarop bedag dat die kliphuis geen elketrisiteit het nie en dat dit beter is om in die lig aan te kom om behoorlik nes te skop. Alles was skoon en pragtig met 'n omgewing wat sy merk op jou laat!"

  • "Off the beaten track"

    20 March 2012

    "We had a short but fantastic stay, No noise, No TV, No electricity, just the faint sounds of the sheep bleating in the distant background. Just what i was looking for, will definately be back for another round of forced relaxation. Peter and Verencia were excellent hosts, always willing on helping. I count down the days to the 2013 Cape Argus when i will be stoping in again at the Kliphuis (Verbe Farm), Thank you for a great experience. Mark & Raymond (Ladies - leave your hairdryers at home, you wont need them and you cant use them)"
