We had a great experience. Greg was a great communicator and very accommodating. We enjoyed learning about biltong, Afrikaans history and culture in such an intimate setting. It was a unique and fun activity, one that we will certainly remember.

You're right, we also enjoy every minute we spend with guests. And, of course, we get to taste and talk about all the things we love! Thanks for choosing to spend time with us. It was so 'lekker'.

Fantastic Personal Experience

Greg and Lindi provide a friendly environment to learn about the history and making of billtong. It's in their home, which is nice and intimate. They provide some good tastings and you get the chnace to prepare some biltong sticks. They provide some of the recipes to you during and they have since sent me the photos and another recipie at no extra cost. if you're a meat lover its a good experience. It lasted 1.5hours. they offered thsirt to buy at the end however I would have liked to be offered to purchase some billtong or some seasonings.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hi Tom, thank you so much for your enthusiastic participation in our cultural session. We also appreciate your advice and will ensure we have biltong and spice to sell in the future. Hope you continue to make lots of 'butt strips' to enjoy with your friends and family!

Enjoyable chatting and learning

SauYi_C, Oct 2024

We had a good time with Soutie & Boerenooi, sharing with us their stories about history of biltong, the Africaan language and more, with tasting of different biltongs, sweet snacks, brewed chicory coffee.... They made it fun and interactive.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Dear SauYi, it was such fun with you and your fellow traveller and we enjoyed your sense of humour and willingness to try new things. We trust the rest of your trip went well and hope to meet you again one day. All the best!

Amazing and tasty value!

Siena_H, May 2024

We had a great time! So many fun surprises and even though we live in Cape Town we learned a lot about South African history and biltong itself!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Siena, it was such a pleasure to share our passion (read addiction) for biltong and SA culture with you. We hope you always have a small protein snack with you on your travels, remembering our special time together.
