A memorable stay! Very well cared for by superb host Hester and her husband farmer, paleontologist & geologist "JP"! His knowledge of fossils & the areas ~300 mio earth history was most appreciated and valuable! The amazing clear E.Cape Karoo night sky's is in tough competition with N.Cape's Sutherland. An unforgettable experience of comfort & surprises in the middle of "nowhere"!
