"Hanover is in 'n pragtige omgewing en is ideaal as 'n mens van die Kaap na Gauteng of Mpumalanga reis aangesien dit in die middel van die twee areas is."
"Ongelukkig is dit die 2de jaar in 'n ry wat ons verblyf op Richmond teleurstel. Dis 'n oulike dorpie, maar ons gaan dit vermy in die toekoms."
"A great alternative to Richmond or Beaufort-West for an overnight stay."
"Vanderkloof was vir ons amper heeltemal onbekend, en ek het dit net opgemerk toe ons nie by Gariep kon huisvesting kry nie. Dis net so mooi as Gariep, maar die hooftoegangspaaie moet aandag geniet anders sal dit meeste mense afskrik. Mense het oor die algemeen nie baie lus vir slaggate na 'n lang rit van 6-9 uur nie."
"One of the few authentic "dorpies" left in South Africa. No ATM, petrol station, or supermarket, but wonderful hospitality and very friendly people. Safe to walk around at night. We ate at the Waenhuis which was superb and the corner shop stocked the small items we needed. Dust roads, peace, and calm. The most amazing dawn chorus from the resident birds. Well worth a visit."
"Nieu-Bethesda is pragtig met baie besienswaardighede - daar is verskeie restaurante. Ons het by Bruno's pizza geëet en hulle kon selfs vir my 'n gluten-vrye pizza maak. Ons sal definitief weer in Nieu-Bethesda vakansie hou."
"Richmond is 'n pragtige, klein dorpie met tonne karakter. Wat die dorp wel kort, is 'n apteek."
"More travellers should stop over in the Karoo, take a breath and explore the various towns like Richmond."
"Hanover is maar 'n baie vervalle dorp. Die paaie is baie sleg en als lyk oud en stukkend. Die kerk is pragtig en daar is in die somermaande Siberian valke by die 100de in die bome regoor Hanover. Dit is pragtig en besonders om te beleef."
"Die geskiedenis van Hanover kan baie interessant wees. Sien baie huise staan toegesluit weens diefstal. Ek glo rodom die kerk kan baie interessante stories vertel word. Ek is bly ek het dit ontdek. Ons wens die dorpie net mooi dinge toe vir die toekoms."
"Make dinner reservations, check the load shedding schedule and plan around it. If you need any medication, there is no pharmacy in Richmond. People are friendly and the town is safe"
"Personally I would just pass through. Was a perfect halfway stop. I guess the town is like a lot of other small towns in SA today."
"A really rich visit, with so much more to learn and experience than just the owl house. Really worth spending a few days exploring each little thing the village and surroundings offer. It is not that well advertised, so hoping to help people know about this part of the village. The Karoo Experience tasting menu at Stirlings restaurant is an absolute must; a real flavour sensation, and is very reasonably priced. Also, Antie Evelyne's restaurant in the township (find her details online to make a booking) offers a really hearty evening meal - in an impoverished township, go ahead and support existing economic activity, and enjoy a really hearty meal and good conversation with Antie Evelyne in the process!"
