Die verblyf was heerlik. Ons het ‘n besonderse tyd gehad en die egte Karoo ervaar soos dit hoort. Die gashere was ook baie behulpsaam en vriendelik.

Quietness and peacefulness of the area and the wood fired hot tub was a massive star of our stay. Hosts were extremely friendly and also assisted in arranging a few extra things for me (massages, bubbly, flowers) as it was our honeymoon.

Nothing, but Serenity and stars. Though completely off-grid, Windvogels doesn’t skimp on comfort. With solar energy, purified borehole water, and thoughtful design, your stay leaves a light footprint — while you sink deeply into luxury. Just over halfway between Montagu & Barrydale, Windvogels offers the rare experience of uninterrupted silence and 360° views of nature. Nestled among hills and semi-desert wilderness, on a 211-hectare farm, it’s a place to unplug and reconnect. *Vaulted ceilings that echo the vast sky above *Minimalist luxury with clean lines and soft textures *Indoor fireplace for cozy evenings *Private outdoor spaces with your own wood-fired plunge pool *Solar-powered, sustainably built for conscious comfort Windvogels is perfect for *Stargazers and solitude-seekers *Writers, creatives, and dreamers *Couple’s escapes or quiet celebrations *Birdwatchers, hikers, cyclists, photographers and slow-travellers Important notes for guests: No TV, but free Wifi available on request Best to arrive before dark 4x4 not required, but high-clearance vehicles are advised Pet-friendly by arrangement only Pack extra clothes, the mountain weather can be wild and unpredictable
We’re Jesse and Chris — former city dwellers from Johannesburg who left our careers in news and advertising for the wide-open skies of the Klein Karoo. Living off-grid was our dream, and as custodians of this land, we’re honoured to share its peace, stars, and serenity with our guests.
