“A True Gem with a Personal Touch. Unforgettable Hospitality! From the moment we arrived at this charming guest house, we felt completely at home. Colleen and Kevin are the heart and soul of the experience. They are warm, thoughtful, and incredibly generous hosts who go the extra mile to make your stay special.
We were spoiled with delightful treats, such as traditional "melkkos", freshly homemade bread, and wonderful homemade jams and chutneys that added a personal touch. It's clear that every detail is considered with care and love. Their extensive knowledge of the wider Calitzdorp, Swartberg mountains, Huisrivier pass, Rooiberge mountain and Kruisriver areas made all the difference. They provided us with wonderfully detailed recommendations for local attractions, hidden gems and excellent spots for lunch, every suggestion was spot on!
The guest house itself is beautifully maintained, peaceful, and filled with character. But it’s the genuine hospitality and attention from Colleen and Kevin that truly sets this place apart. It felt less like a stay and more like a visit with dear friends.
We left feeling refreshed, inspired, and already planning our return. Highly recommended, and a stay here is an experience you’ll treasure! Much more than we expected. Thank you so very much!”
“We stayed in lovely Rondavles, that were spacious and well equipped. The location is great for visits to the Congo caves, wildlife ranch etc.. lovely breakfast and dinner, and friendly helpful staff.”
“An outstanding feature of our stay at Hotel De Rust was the friendliness of our hosts. Werner and Bernadette are amazing hosts and did everything (and more!) to make us feel welcome and to make sure we enjoy our stay at their hotel.”
“My wife and I had a great stay here. The staff member who greeted us was very friendly and welcoming.
The room was huge and they put the heater on and heated blankets ready for us (as we're travelling in winter) which was thoughtful.
Secure parking for our motorcycles, lovely hot shower, WiFi and the breakfast in the morning was fantastic! Delicious!
There's a restaurant for dinner called hungry ghost very short walk away so there's everything you need here.
We weren't expecting such a great place to stay and really enjoyed it. Thank you!”
“We enjoyed a pleasant overnight stay and opted for a self-catering option. Poplar wood all around. All rooms are well appointed and neat. Hosts are welcoming and friendly. Although we were the only guests for the evening, the staff went out of their way to offer and serve us a great breakfast. Property is within walking distance of a popular coffee shop and restaurants.”
