We had a lovely time on Anna's Farm, choosing to have the optional breakfasts and dinners which were not only excellent, but served in traditional style which we appreciated. Anna's Farm is excellently located from which one can do day excursions to hike in Grootvadersbosch, visit the amazing de Hoop Nature reserve via the Malgas pont, as well as Witsand (both with beautiful beaches and whale watching opportunities) and even for a day visit to the historic town of Swellendam. The farm itself has a lovely atmosphere with lovely views, lots of birds and beautiful views over the hills used for growing wheat and raising sheep and some cattle. We would be happy to come again, next time for more than two days.

This is a lovely farmhouse and is a beautiful example of its time. The interior and the furnishings are fabulous, and the bed very comfortable. The host, Anna, is very friendly and helpful, and made a very good breakfast.

We had a great relaxing stay at Anna’s farm. Authentic, vintage decorated rooms and a big balcony with nice views. Tranquility. Anna made twice an amazing dinner for us. She is a lovely host that likes taking care of her guests. Worth a stay!! And as a day activity I would recommend the Klipspringer trail starting at the start of the whale trail in de hoop nature reserve (potberg) where numerous vultures fly right over you

Spotlessly clean and Ann was a fabulous host! The house is isolated and the silence is amazing - the décor was very interesting, the artefacts that the house is decorated with are fabulous and we felt like we had stepped into an episode of Downton Abbey! Ann also went to enormous lengths to get an item we had left behind - back to us.

We had a wonderful 2 night stay here. Anna was a fantastic host and her home was beautiful. The breakfasts were excellant and Anna cooked us a fantastic evening meal which was made even better by all the personal touches that Anna gave us. It was a very relaxing stay and we were really made to feel at home and Anna even shared one of her wonderful recipes with us. We would not hesitate in staying there again.

I really enjoyed my stay at Anna's Farm. The house is beautifully and tastefully decorated and the little touches to make one's stay special were not missed - the displays in critical areas - bathrooms, bedrooms etc. The farm is much preferable to a stay nearer town and the gravel road is easily negotiable. Anna is the perfect hostess and nothing was too much trouble. My dinner on the night I ordered it was outstanding (five stars) and I really enjoyed the conversation. I will be back with the whole family.

Anna was the most delightful lady. She has very high standards with beautiful rooms and excellent quality breakfast, as they live on a farm we opted for her to make us supper. What a treat. Anna was very knowledgeable about the area which was a huge plus fir us coming from Durban. They have a beautiful cat and very friendly dogs. Thank you Anna.

Anna's Farm is as much an experience as it is a overnight stay. The view is for as far as the eye can see, and the history is within the home. Great home cooking presented with care. Just far enough off the beaten track to make you know you've found something extra special. With just a few rooms, you will be lucky to get the booking, but worth the time and trip.

This establishment needs a visit from the person who values classy elegance and home cooking at its ultimate! friendly warm and all needs met with such warmth and caring!! Please do yourself a HUGE FAVOUR, and visit Arno and Anna Steenkamp and feed your tired nerves and battered body on the farm love that this married couple can provide! The home baked bread!! The bobotie and chicken pie, lasagna, sumptuous breakfast... Almost lasts through a day of sightseeing at Malgas and De Hoop vlei nature reserve!! Make a booking and GET there on your next trip down that way. We loved every second there. Xx

We kwamen zo maar langs zonder reservering en Anna kwam gelijk uit Heidelberg om ons te ontvangen en een heerlijk maaltijd voor ons te bereiden. We hadden graag het melkvee willen zien, maar die warener helaas niet meer. Maar we hebben evengoed genoten van de mooie omgeving, de gastvrijheid en de rust.

Nous avons séjourné en famille avec nos deux enfants durant une nuit chez Anna's farm entre Knysna et Cape town. De prime abord très éloigné de la nationale, c'est une excellente escale dont nous nous rappelerons. Anna est vraiment charmante et le repas authentique était somptueux. Dommage que le temps n'était pas clément et ne nous a pas permis de visiter la ferme... peut être une autre fois...

It was our 3rd stay at Anna's Farm, with its lovely comfortable rooms and peaceful environment. Anna and Arno are such warm people, they have a natural sense of hospitality and make guests feel really welcome. The food is very tasty and wholesome, and is served with relaxed elegance, while conversation about the farm is always instructive. We would certainly recommend a visit, and hope to have the opportunity to return soon!

Thanks, Anna and Arno, for your warm welcome and your kindness. Staying in your home, with it's comfortable, beautifully-decorated rooms, delicious meals and quiet atmosphere was very pleasant. And thanks to Arno for the tour of the farm, so interesting to learn about farming in the dry open spaces fo the Overberg. We hope to come back in August to see the fields green for a change! Anni and David.

Thank you for a most enjoyable stay. You have really impressed us with the farm experience - which outshines the game drives we've been on before. The food was absolutely delicious. We will certainly be back and wil definitely recommend your guest house to everyone. Thank you for your hospitality.

Thank you so much for your warm welcome. In the middle of "nowhere" your B&B is a little jewel, a paradise for travellers! Beautiful place, great house and succulent dinner. If we are back in SA, we'll definitely come back to your farm. Thanks and happy New Year!

Dear Anna and Arno, I was just saying to my daughter this evening that the week we spent with you was one of the very nicest holidays I can remember! Savannah and Danielle still talk about it, they will never forget their time with you, and all they learned and experienced! We all send you our very best wishes for a Happy and Peaceful Christmas, and may 2008 be a fantastic one for you on the farm!
