About

A Karoo experience synonymous with blissful and transforming tranquility that will speak to the heart of every nature lover, traveller, holiday maker

Description

On a porch where the curves of rocks and mountains write ancient history, there you can be, there you can come, be quiet and at that still point, there the dance will be, there you can embrace the rhythm of the Sweetfontein Boutique Farm Lodge.

Sweetfontein Boutique Farm Lodge is located in the upper Karoo region along the N10, 15km from Britstown and 35km from De Aar. This serenely situated farm lodge is a timeless beauty that is touched with a gracious and mystical charm, a spirit calling hearts to dream.

Each room and living space speaks of the finest interior art and decorum and promises to be nothing short of the spacious simplicity to be found only in true elegance.

The sweet and invigorating experiences that await, speak to the heart of every naturalist, connoisseur, traveler, holidaymaker and wildlife enthusiast. A Karoo experience synonymous with blissful and transforming tranquility.
For the thrill and adventure seeking individuals there are a range of hiking and bike trails, an endless road where there is nowhere to go but everywhere. The sights include the weathered and tempered Karoo landscape, sketched with the greens and browns only to be found on the Sweetfontein canvas. A wide range of wild animals is roaming the typical Karoo veld; observe and enjoy the swirl of dust around the pounding hooves of sheep.

For the souls seeking quietness and magic, the house is equipped with a cozy and warm fireplace in the living area; braai facilities are readily available outside. There is no better place to enjoy a sundowner than on the porch overlooking the farm, where the day’s end burns with ruby light of the setting sun.
This is a home away from home.

Our friendly, helpful staff will take great care in catering for your needs, ensuring you a comfortable stay. There are 4 luxury suites, all with en-suite bathrooms. The rooms are all equipped with flat screen TV’s with DStv, air conditioning, tea and coffee facilities and bathroom amenities. Our guests will enjoy free Wi-Fi. Sweetfontein

Boutique Farm Lodge proud itself to serve authentic Karoo dishes, ranging from mutton tails, so-called “skaapstertjies”, to lamb shanks. We accommodate most dietary requirements, such as vegetarian needs, with ingredients that are readily available.

Embark on a journey to a head full of blue skies, to there where the old moon crumbles up into stars and there where the air is charmed and thin. Sweetfontein Boutique Farm Lodge will magnify your emotions, here you will only take memories; here you will only leave footprints.

Omg, Sweetfontein is absolutely grand, exquisitely decorated and tastefully laid out. And that is only the rooms, the bar is incredible and dining here is a treat. The staff are like family and genuinely care for every weary visitor. They were setting up for a wedding and it was looking like something out of a vogue magazine, very clever decorators using the environment sustainably. Well done to to you all this Lodge should be awarded a Gold for its ingenuity and taste.
Wedding was lovely, the snacks/nibbles where lovely, dinner for the wedding was very bland.BIG WARNING if you are not staying at the venue don't bother going. The accommodation in the surrounding area is very unpleasant and you have to drive on very bad roads. De arr is a very run down town we where there on a Friday and Saturday night and all we could hear where cars doing burn outs and drunks on the street. Just don't bother driving all the way there for a sleepless night!! Nearby activities: Nothing to do
I was absolutely thrilled when I was able to reserve a room after Christmas as I'd been following Sweetfontein for a while. My fiancé and I were excited to splurge on ourselves a bit. However and very sadly, the reality did not meet the expectation. There were several housekeeping and maintenance issues throughout the lodge which detracted from the overall experience. Our King executive family room was not boutique lodge standard. No hair dryer in the room, lock on our room door did not lock on the inside and was poorly fitted, numerous spiders and cobwebs in our room and bed. Wooden gate into the manor area was dilapidated and could not latch properly. Several issues on the main veranda observed too. Dinner and breakfast not good value for money. Overall, very expensive and not worth the price paid @ R3100 excl dinner and breakfast. On a positive note, service was good though and the waiters friendly and attentive. Location is stunning and the decor mind-blowing.
Sweetfontein is the most awesome Karoo experience you can imagine. Beautiful settings. Sipping champagne and watching the sunset is priceless. Staff are the most friendly and awesome people you can imagine. Dint miss the opportunity to go there...Rooms: 5/5
It was dirty, disgusting for the price you had to pay, Price for what you get is way overpriced !!! and not at all value for money Dinner was R220.00 per head and what a poor tasteless meal for the price and then you were offered dessert at an additional price, taps in bathroom did not work properly. Towels were not white and very hard. Water in fridge was not in sealed bottles, but merely poured into little glass containers. We were never notified of the load shedding times and that was also very unpleasant The outside areas tables, chairs, at the lapas as well as verandahs in front of the rooms and around the pool were filthy, this is very poor for December 2022 Holidays At least the staff were very friendly and efficient, but that does not change an AWEFUL Stay and we will never return, and we will never refer this place to anyone!!!!!!! WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT
Well situated halfway between Capetown & Jhb. Very nice venue with friendly staff. Views, sunsets & sunrise that only can be enjoyed in the Karoo.Rooms: 4/5
It felt like we were in the middle of no where, it was wonderful. Peaceful and quite, a perfect stop over. The food was very good and the rooms were all very well finished. We will definitely be back.
Let me start by commending their super friendly staff and well-appointed accommodation, and the fact that our room was upgraded.  Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about our dining experience, and to say the least, was extremely disappointed.  I booked our accommodation with dinner and breakfast more than three weeks in advance directly with the reception at Sweetfontein.  Dinner was charged at R 220.00 per person and breakfast at R 130.00 per person.  On our arrival at Sweetfontein we were given the options of lamb chops or beef rump for dinner, nothing about their famed lamb shank or leg of lamb, so we chose the lamb chops.  Dinner was served with 3 x lamb chops, a dollop of mashed potatoes, and some sweet carrots.  For dessert we were offered a brandy tart and ice cream, just to be informed a couple of minutes later that they ran out of brandy tart but could offer us ice cream and chocolate sauce.  We were served three small scoops of ice cream and a bottle of Pick & Pay/Checkers chocolate sauce.  The whole dining experience was OK at best and really nothing to get excited about.  For breakfast, seeing that we paid R 130.00 per person, I chose their breakfast waffle with bananas and berries @ R 80.00 fruit juice @ R 25.00, and a coffee @ R 35.00.  My wife had the muesli and yogurt with fresh fruit @ R 85.00 fruit juice @ R 25.00 and a coffee @ R 35.00.  My waffle arrived with the equivalent of about half a banana and zero berries, I was informed that they ran out of berries.  The fresh fruit in my wife’s breakfast consisted of 6 x grapes and 3 x slices of orange.  The worst however was when we checked out and were informed that we had to pay extra for the evening's dessert @ R 65.00 per person as well as for the fruit juice and coffee we had at breakfast.  What did I pay R 130.00 per person for breakfast – basically a dry breakfast waffle and some muesli and yogurt.  I feel their prices for meals are exuberant and you pay a hell of a lot of money for something very mediocre.  Will I make use of this venue in the future, or recommend it to someone else – unfortunately not!!!
If you are traveling and happen to be in that area Sweetfontein is certainly the best place to stay over. It is located outside of town and there's no noise from trucks or traffic, serene stunning environment with lovely staff and delicious food! Gorgeous scenery puts the cherry on top.Rooms: 5/5
Overall nice experience, beautiful venue and gorgeous rooms. Scenery is very pretty, looking out on the grass plains and the most beautiful sunrises. Staff was very helpful and quickly helped us out on arrival.Rooms: 4/5
