Farmhouse charm ♡

How charming is an inviting weather worn country gate?  Just these low thick walls and gates dividing our creature comforts from the austere beauty of the Karoo landscape.

The farmhouse at De-Kruis has so many beautiful doors, windows and staircases to lead the eye from inside and out. Some take you to day beds, others to night viewing platforms and deep cool interiors.

 Simplicity to savour.  So many cool spots to retreat from the heat of the sun and contemplate the meaning of life.

My favourite space is the library where you feel as though you are sitting under the shade of a welcoming big tree.

Farmhouse charm in every nook and cranny to delight the senses!

Karoo Sunsets ♡

What could be better than watching the sun set with an aperol spritz to hand?

Especially if you are in the Karoo and the heat haze of the lazy day is dying down.

 

 

 

 

   Golden hour and watching the mountains and scenery change from gold to a dusty pink is pure bliss.

 

Even when there is too much moonshine to see many stars the sky is so much bigger than back in the city.

 

Fond memories of lazer pointing and UFO searching from a previous visit.

Love how each visit is comfortingly similar yet different each time.

Karoo Skies and Stars ♡

There is something breath-taking about the night skies in the Tankwa Karoo.

If star-gazing and enjoying the countryside in the most luxurious farm accomodation appeals to you then our friend's farm is the perfect place to be.  

 

 The farm has 2 huge rooftop viewing decks to take in the spectacular vistas by day or night.  These photographs are from their farm website (see details below).

 

Watch the shadows move across the mountains during golden hour, or bask in their spectacular swimming pool after the heat of the day.

Karoo Food ♡

 This has to be the MOST glamorous farmhouse kitchen for a feast:

(That is if you can distract yourself from the beautiful farm scenery on your doorstep)

When the heart of this beautiful home is an Aga, and on the other side is a fabulous turquoise Smeg fridge then you know you have the perfect setting for a magnificent meal.

Better yet, you can ask their resident cook for some beautiful locally sourced farm dishes (Karoo lamb, sumptous pies, seasonal desserts) and just enjoy this country setting.
