“First of all, thank you so much for your assistance. We are very excited!! Pampoenfontein is truly one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited ???? such a special place and I cannot wait for the rest of the girls to see it”.
Carla

“I am safely home after a HEAVENLY six nights at Lilly Cottage. It was everything I had hoped and more. My pups and I walked all the paths on the farm and enjoyed the relaxing views over the little dam in front of Lilly. We never got into the car once we arrived until it was time to pack up and leave! I’m afraid I am hooked so you have got yourself a regular visitor!”

“AND OH MY WORD – did we love your little Lilly cottage. It is absolutely fantastic. We had such a peaceful weekend and was able rest and enjoy the farm. I actually really do not have words to comprehend how happy we were.”
Marike

“We had an absolutely wonderful time on the farm: we thoroughly enjoyed both the cottage and the beautiful environment, we found the cottage very well equipped and well prepared, with everything clean and working. I really enjoyed the view from the front of Lilly cottage, and the very active wildlife, large numbers and diversity of birds, and we saw the rhebok (?) a couple of times. We also enjoyed a number of good walks. My wife, Jenny, is already talking about requesting another booking again soon, to stay for a few days with a couple of her friends. Thank you for an excellent visit to Pampoen Fontein Farm”.
