Hi Johan
Ek neem aan julle verkies iets modern, onpersoonlik en nie die rustieke, kunstige, unieke en historiese nie. Dis julle reg, maar as jy na ons foto's kyk toe jy bespreek het, sou jy sien dis 'n gebou wat meer as 'n 100 jaar oud is met 'n kunstige uitleg. Daar is baie ander 'normale gastehuise'. Daar is net een van hierdie.
Julle het ook nie in die Karoo tydens ons warm tyd 'n lugverkoelde kamer bespreek nie, maar een met 'n waaier. Loadshedding is ook ongelukkig 'n realiteit op Williston. Jammer om te hoor, maar julle het nie met my gekommunikeer oor julle ongerief nie, so ek kon julle nie help terwyl julle hier was nie. Ek is trots op ons huis en op die diens.
Vrede vir julle en 'n geseende jaar.

The ARK and Williston Mall are absolutely unique. It's a special place that has been built up with love over the years. From the time Pieter opened the front door until we left the next morning it was a journey of discovery. There is so much to take in, one actually needs more than one day. The rooms are all unique, well appointed and clean. Pieter, thank you for your hospitality. We will definitely do it again.

Pieter and Elmarie are very hospitable and make you feel at home like old friends. It is an eccentric place with a lot of character and a very interesting collection of things. Not to mention Pieter's interesting stories. Relaxing in the garden with an ice cold beer in good company, with my mother-in-law, cats, dogs and daughter was great. A hedgehog came to greet us and made us feel welcome. Features the basic amenities needed for an even longer stay with a full breakfast and delicious ground coffee. Manna, the restaurant around the corner and also within walking distance, serves delicious lunches and dinners. It was nice browsing and shopping at the Williston Mall.

Karoo hospitality! It exists and it's "alive and kicking" in the Ark Gastehuis, with host Pieter and hostess Elmarie Naude. They treated us, as strangers, like old acquaintances and made my husband's fiftieth birthday unforgettable. I ate the most delicious salt rib on this earth, and to make everything even more special, Jan Braai was also there. The room was cozy, the eggs at breakfast farm eggs, the lamb sausage excellent. You have to get out here, it was a bucket list experience! I washed the Karoo mutton smell I picked up around the fire out of my parka with great sadness.

Warm welcome and hospitality radiate from the whole family and you feel like part of them. There is interested company in a light joking way that makes you relax wonderfully after the long journey. The most delicious Karoo lamb chops for dinner were delicious. Later that evening, the Mall was specially opened so that we could shop. We thoroughly enjoyed this eccentric guest house.

Unconventional and fun. A must for the traveler looking for something out of the ordinary and going home with nothing but good memories.
After a hot, long dirt road and a flat tire on Verneukpan, our worries were quickly dusted off with the step in at Pieter and Elmarie's ark. Hospitality like only in the Karoo. Felt so at home like family. From the dogs and kittens to the real one, Bianca crawled deep into our hearts and made it hard to say goodbye after one night. We were served delicious lamb pie and a "secret" salad dressing from Elmarie by excellent staff, listened to 80's music together and dusted off our hectic Gauteng lives and for a while became part of people with soul and a fun outlook on life. Als here is unconventional, from Elmarie's painted "Fat Ladies" to Pieter's decor imagination, Cor's "shoppie", oh just als... and then there are still many plans. We can't wait for the "movie" coming out soon with Williston Mall and its colorful characters. We left with more than we arrived.
