Winter in the Karoo wraps the land in a quiet stillness that feels almost sacred. The sun rises slowly over frost-kissed plains, casting long, golden shadows across the scrub and stone. At night, the cold presses close, and stars spill across the sky like scattered dreams—bright, sharp, and infinite. In this vast and weathered landscape, winter doesn’t just arrive—it lingers in the heart.
This is the Karoo!💫

🇿🇦🌳Celebrating 10 Years of Growth – In More Ways Than One

As we reflect on the past decade of hosting guests on our farm, we’re reminded that our story isn’t just about comfortable stays and good food – it’s also deeply rooted in the land itself.

🌳Over the past 10 years, we’ve planted over 50 olive trees and 7 pomegranate trees. These trees have become more than just part of the landscape – they carry deep biblical symbolism 🫒The olive tree, a symbol of peace, endurance, and anointing. The pomegranate, representing abundance, righteousness, and fruitfulness. Each season, as they bear fruit, we’re reminded of how life can flourish even in harsh conditions. We never sell any of these fruit. We simply give it away to guests and friends. We believe in sharing goodness and bringing joy to people by sharing what was given to us.

🌱Speaking of harsh conditions – our green lawns are a quiet but proud testimony to perseverance. During the 7-year drought that swept across the Karoo, we managed to keep our lawns alive with greywater, mulching, and stubborn care. Not just for ourselves, but for the little moments of joy they bring to tired travelers and happy kids.

🌳💦Here’s to more years of growing – gardens, trees, and stories worth sharing.

🇿🇦Our Story- Part 2.

For the Adventurous Hearts

During 2022 we took another big, brave step.

🏡We opened our house to guests and turned our son's bedroom and bathroom into a guest room.

This cozy double room in our home has a special place in our story. It's not just a guest room – it's a space for connection, conversation, and cultural exchange.

We started offering it after a Swiss honeymoon couple stayed in Lentelus for a week. Every evening they would come over to our house and we shared meals, stories, and laughter. They even cooked us traditional 🫕Swiss dishes! We became friends, and to this day, we still keep in touch.

Our guest room is called Simon's Room, named after our middle son. When our eldest son moved out and went to university, we decided to open this room to guests.
🌎This room is especially for overseas guests – those curious souls who want to experience real South African hospitality, share a meal with us, and connect over stories from different corners of the world.
🍽We shared our table with travelers from around the world - Italy to the Netherlands, Hong Kong to Indonesia.

🇧🇪🇨🇭🇬🇧 If you're the kind of traveler who values people as much as places – this one's for you.

Our Story - Part 1
“From a milking stall to a family haven"—and now, a place for others to feel at home.

Many years ago, this was where cows were milked. Later, it became our first little cottage after we got married. It's where our story as a family began. All three of our children were born and raised here, filling the walls with laughter, chaos, and love. The other part was used as a factory and boutique shop for ostrich leather goods (owned and run by Morné's family). June 2015 we started work on our first cottage and in August of that year we welcomed our first family (from Stellenbosch) to Benmonca.
We named the cottage after our 3 children—a blend of their names—because this place holds their footsteps and our beginnings.
3 Years later, in July 2018 we started to turn the rest of the space into a second cottage. And in September of that year we welcomed our first guests to Lentelus (from England). Lentelus was the original name of the farm and we thought it will suit well bringing the old nostalgic and the new beginning together.

Ten years ago, we opened the doors to guests. What started as a humble beginning grew into a self-catering retreat shaped by hard work, hope, and a deep love for the Karoo.
We've built slowly, intentionally—turning veld into paths, and silence into shared stories.

It’s been a journey of growth, change, and connection. And we’re deeply thankful to every guest who has become part of our story.
We keep on changing, growing and improving.....to always give our guests the best.
