„I love my life!!“ Wie eine Liebeserklärung kam es heraus, laut gebrüllt von mir und meinen zwei Mini-Mitreisenden, Noah und Milo. Schließlich waren wir mutterseelen-allein, oben am Gordon’s Koppie. Zu unseren Füssen erstreckte sich der mächtige Swartberg Pass auf der einen Seite, Prince Albert und unser Domizil für die Nacht, Dennehof Karoo Guesthouse, auf der anderen.

Al langs ’n laning olyf- en kareebome af met ’n windpomp wat doer voor uitloer, begin jy wonder wat aan die einde van dié grondpaadjie vir jou wag.

Dennehof, an 1835 guesthouse at the foot of the mountains, looks out onto a pebbled courtyard where the owner’s two Rhodesian ridgeback dogs galumph about. Take sunny breakfasts in the glass house, and dip into the pool to cool off.

Complete with its own iconic Karoo wind-pump in the garden and a classic deep front stoep, Dennehof (dating back to 1835) will grab your heart before you’ve stepped inside.
