The venue exceeded all our expectations.

Everything was excellent, from Erika making contact before arrival to us departing the following morning. The room with its en-suite shower, excellent bed and linen, and our vegetarian supper exceeded our expectations. A definite overnight stop between Cape Town and Johannesburg.

We got to the place, had an option to upgrade, which we did. The rooms were so gorgeous, had a private garden with an incredible view. The pictures don't do justice to the place. It is an absolute gem.

Calm end to a busy holiday.

A lovely calm farm stay with place to walk. The main road to the farm made for a great run. The chalet was large and had comfortable beds. The gas shower was tricky to use (when only hot, it was too hot and using cold water made the temperature cycle). The restaurant was such a winner, great food at very good prices, we would return just for the lamb pot! We got timeous information about the best route to take given current road conditions. Slightly off the N1 but makes it worth staying 2 nights to relax like we did.

Baie oulike plek. Is baie gasvry ontvang.

Dis 'n baie oulike plek en die eienaars het ons baie gasvry en vreiendelik ontvang. Ons voel egter hulle kan bietjie meer aandag gee aan onderhoud. Die een kamerlig was buite werking en toe ons dit noem, het hulle vir ons 'n batteryliggie gegee vir die nag. Die toilet het so erg gelek dat die dame wat deur die nag die toilet moes gebruik se slaapbroek papnat was. Dit moes egter 'n ou lek gewees het, want daar was 'n handoekie gegooi om die water op te vang. Toe ons vir ons wou koffie maak voordat ons weer die lang pad aanvat, het die gasstofie ook nie gewerk nie.

Very cute place. Was received very hospitably.

It's a very cute place and the owners received us very hospitable and friendly. However, we feel they could pay a little more attention to maintenance. The one room light was out of order and when we mentioned it they gave us a battery light for the night. The toilet leaked so badly that the lady who had to use the toilet during the night was soaking wet. However, it must have been an old leak because a towel had been thrown to catch the water. When we wanted to make coffee for ourselves before we started the long road again, the gas stove didn't work either.

Desert Dew Guesthouse is heeltemal bewus van die voorval en het dit so aan die gaste verduidelik. Ons kon nie n part kry vir die toilet in ons klein dorpie nie. Ons moes dit laat courier. Die vol gasbottel was net nie oopgedraai nie. Die gastehuis was propvol en in so n geval skuif ons gewoonlik vir die gaste na 'n ander eenheid, maar ons het geen akkomodasie gehad nie. Ons is baie jammer oor die voorval en kan ons 3 oulike gaste enige tyd weer by ons kom oornag vir een aand gratis in hulle selfde chalet wat nou perfek reg is.

Unfriendly hostess, beautiful place.

We made an effort to get more information about the so-called dinners, our requests on WhatsApp were read but ignored and when we arrived we were greeted with a "nose in the air" attitude and negative suggestions made about our weight. No additional information was shared upon our arrival (Wifi info, times of meals, attractions etc.) We were told that the website is actually just a sideline for the hostess and that she actually uses another provider. Well, our money was good enough! What a negative experience after we have been using the website regularly for about 15 years and have never been treated like this. We booked at 12 different places over the festive period and were carried on by all the hostesses and hosts. Some people don't belong in the hospitality industry.

Wees versigtig wat jy drink.

Die sopvoorgereg was sonder soplepels bedien. Ons wou die Maandagoggend (voor ons vertrek) vinnig 'n koppie koffie drink, maar die ketel was so vuil binne dat ons dit maar liewers nie gewaag het nie. Dit het soos suur melk gelyk wat binne die ketel agtergebly het.

Be careful what you drink.

The soup starter was served without soup spoons. We wanted to have a quick cup of coffee on Monday morning (before we left), but the kettle was so dirty inside that we preferred not to. It looked like sour milk left inside the kettle.

Johan, so jammer om van jou frustrasie te hoor. My personeel het dadelik nadat hulle gesien het daar is geen soplepels nie, dit gebring na julle toe. Ons water het kalk in en indien die ketels nie gereeld skoongemaak word nie , lyk dit so "wolkerig" Die ketel kan dan net uitgespoel word en die probleem is opgelos; heerlike skoon water. Kom gerus weer oornag en ons gee een nag gratis akkomodasie vir jou. Stuur net 'n verwysing met naam en van en "ontevrede gas 23 Maart".

Had a great time, but location is misleading.

We had a nice time. The location was very misleading. Our charlet was located farthest from the gas geyser and therefore the water was hot on and off while we showered. The spot light shone in the master bedroom all night and people had trouble sleeping. The blind could not close completely because the rod that turns is broken. The room was lit up all night. Furthermore, we had a very nice stay.

An oasis!

I so wish we could have stayed here longer than a single night! It is spotless, well-maintained and set in beautiful surroundings. The room we stayed in was large and had a fantastic view (perhaps just needs some black-out curtains). The food was very good and the service from the owners and staff is top-notch. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and hope to do so for a lot longer!

'n Werkende plaas met liefde.

Om weg te kom van verkeer en om deur stilte omring te wees, is sielskos. Baie vriendelik en aangenaam om ook te ondervind hoe die bokke hanteer en geskeer word.

Sal ongelukkig nie weer daar oorbly nie.

Skoon, veilig, gerieflik. Tog was ons teleurgesteld in die onvriendelike manier waarop ons viervoetige twee yorkies ontvang is. Ons het vooraf gevra of ons honde welkom is en is laat weet dit is reg. Na die bespreking bevestig en betaal is het ons die oggend op pad soontoe 'n boodskap ontvang dat daar twee pitbulls op die perseel is en ons moet asb. seker maak ons honde (ons kinders) bly vasgemaak aan hulle bandjies. Let wel, ek love Pitties so dis nie die probleem nie. Met ons aankoms (was reeds donker) het ons eerstens nie presies geweet waarheen om te gaan nie. Ons was nie baie vriendelik ontvang nie. Ons ontvang toe 'n vorm om te teken oor die honde-"reëls" en vrywaring. Die manier hoe alles daarop staan het gevoel dat ons honde eintlik nie welkom is nie. Dit is baie duidelik gemaak dat geen geblaf geduld sal word nie. Ook dat hulle nie verantwoordelikheid sal aanvaar as hulle Pitbulls my honde byt nie. Ek wou weet of die Pitties vrylik rondbeweeg en of hulle toegemaak is op 'n ander deel van die werf. Daar is gesê hulle loop los rond. Die feit bly, dit is 'n dier (weereens niks teen Pitties van my kant af nie). Ek was teleurgesteld in die reaksie toe ek dit uitwys dat dit onaanvaarbaar is dat daar adverteer word dit is "diervriendelik", maar ek voel ongemaklik en versigtig om selfs met my honde buite aan hulle bandjies te stap. Die volgende oggend was die Pitties wel direk buite ons eenheid en ons kon vir langer as 45 min nie waag om buitentoe te gaan nie want ons hondjies het hulle gehoor en ruik. Ons het gewag vir iemand om ons te kom aanspreek oor die geblaf van ons honde (oor die Pitties buite). Ons het nie eers kans gesien vir ontbyt na die ervaring nie. Ek voel die dierevriendelik is misleidend. Die manier hoe alles oorgedra kon word, selfs die woordkeuses op die vorm wat ons moes teken is onvanpas. Vir mense sonder diere is die plek perfek.

Unfortunately will not stay there again.

Clean, safe, convenient. However, we were disappointed in the unfriendly way in which our four-legged two yorkies were received. We asked in advance if our dogs were welcome and were told it was OK. After the booking was confirmed and paid for, we received a message on the way there in the morning that there were two pit bulls on the premises and we had to please. make sure our dogs (our children) stay on their leashes. Mind you, I love Pitties so that's not the problem. When we arrived (it was already dark) we firstly didn't know exactly where to go. We were not received very kindly. We then received a form to sign about the dog "rules" and disclaimer. The way everything stood on it felt that our dogs were actually not welcome. It was made very clear that no barking would be tolerated. Also that they will not accept responsibility if their Pitbulls bite my dogs. I wanted to know if the Pitties roam freely or if they are confined to another part of the yard. They were said to be on the loose. The fact remains, it's a beast (again, nothing against Pitties on my part). I was disappointed in the response when I pointed out that it is unacceptable to advertise that it is "pet friendly", but I feel uncomfortable and wary even walking my dogs outside on their leashes. The next morning the Pitties were right outside our unit and we couldn't dare to go outside for more than 45 minutes because our dogs heard and smelled them. We were waiting for someone to come and address us about the barking of our dogs (about the Pitties outside). We didn't even get a chance for breakfast after the experience. I feel the animal friendly is misleading. The way everything could be conveyed, even the word choices on the form we had to draw is inappropriate. For people without animals, the place is perfect.

Desert Dew Guest House 's response

Môre, ons het 'n troeteldierbeleid omdat ons van te voorheen 'n slegte ervaring met diere gehad het. Ons is lief vir diere en indien my honde (ons kinders) aggressief en gevaarlik was, sou ek geen honde aanvaar het nie. Hulle is baie vriendelik, en loop rond by die gastehuis want hulle is lief vir die gaste. Jy kon my enige tyd kontak indien jy bedreig sou voel. Julle het ook laat ingecheck soos ek kon onthou. So, ek was nog in die kombuis en ken my personeel die hantering van hondjies. Ek verstaan ook indien mense hulle diere ver afstande rondry, kyk hulle mooi na hulle en is alles tydens die akkommodasie ook in plek. Maar ek het al voorheen die les geleer.So, indien jy geaffronteerd voel oor die skrywe van my pet policy, vra ek omverskoning, maar ongelukkig moet ek dit vir elkeen laat teken wat 'n troeteldier saambring. Ek is jammer julle kon nie ontbyt eet nie.

Goed ontvang en goeie waarde.

Net die 15km grondpad was nie aangenaam en ons moes gang op stap verby die leef area om badkamer te gebruik. Al was dit eksklusief vir ons sou ek verkies het om en suite te kon gehad het. Res was goeie waarde en personeel was baie behulpsaam en vriendelik.

Dit was aangenaam om daar oor te bly en verfrissend die volgende oggend om met 'n heerlike ontbyt die reis voort te sit.

Ons het die gasvryheid waardeer en geniet en alles was in plek. Die aandete wat voorgesit was, was goed voorberei en die ontbyt voldoende vir die reis wat voorlê. Die kamer het alles gehad vir 'n goeie nagrus en ons kon die volgende oggend verfris voortgaan met ons reis.

Kuier was aangenaam, rustig en stil.

Dit sal dalk help as 'n voornemende besoeker in kennis gestel word dat die grondpad na die gaste huis nie orals in 'n goeie toestand is nie. Ek wou op 'n stadium terugdraai as dit nie was dat die akkomodasie reeds betaal was nie. Maar Erika se vriendelikheid en gasvryheid het opgemaak daarvoor.

It was a very pleasant stay. Hosts were great, food was good. Ran a honesty bar where you helped yourself and kept a note on what you drank and then paid for it on departure. Staff very friendly. Stunning view of the farm.

Only downside but not the fault of the hosts, was the road to the farm. Recent rains made it difficult for a non 4 wheeled drive car.

Plaas oornag.

Dit is 'n baie lekker plaasgevoel met mooi uitsigte oor die Karoo. Hul bied basiese geriewe vir oorslaap, ons was dankbaar vir melk en koffie beskikbaarheid in die eenheid, maar voel altyd eenvormigheid van breekware en meer as wat vir die aantal persone toegelaat word in die eenheid sal baie welkom wees. Ons moes ook eers die skottelgoed was alvorens ons dit kon gebruik, dit was ongelukkig nie so skoon as wat ons sal verkies nie en die aantal vlieë was so bietjie onplesierig. Die internetkonneksie was bo-gemiddeld goed vir so 'n afgeleë area. Die grondpad na die plaas is nie baie goed nie en veral na die reën is dit nogal gevaarlik omdat daar poele water opdam.

Place overnight.

It has a very nice farm feeling with beautiful views over the Karoo. They provide basic facilities for overnight stays, we were grateful for milk and coffee availability in the unit, but always feel uniformity of crockery and more than what is allowed for the number of persons in the unit would be very welcome. We also had to wash the dishes before we could use them, unfortunately they were not as clean as we would prefer and the number of flies was a bit unpleasant. The internet connection was above average for such a remote area. The dirt road to the farm is not very good and especially after the rain it is quite dangerous because there are pools of water.

Die foto's van kamer was foutief. Kamer het 2 enkelbeddens gehad in plaas van 'n dubbelbed soos geadverteer.

Die foto's wys dat die gesinskamer 'n dubbelbed, sowel as 'n enkelbed bevat en die beskrywing verduidelik dat hierdie kamer gebruik maak van 'n gedeelde badkamer. Met ons aankoms het 'n kelnerin van die restaurant ons na ons kamer geneem wat slegs 2 enkelbeddens gehad het. Nadat ek 'n verduideliking gevra het, is die gasvrou geroep wat dadelik aanvallend was en my herhaaldelik herinner het dat dit die kamer is waarvoor ek betaal het, terwyl ek vir haar probeer verduidelik het dat die foto's wel 'n dubbelbed wys. Ek het selfs op my foon vir haar die foto's gewys op die webtuiste. Sy het toe aangebied om ons te skuif na 'n kamer met 'n dubbelbed, maar ons duidelik laat verstaan dat ons ekstra sal moet inbetaal. Die kamer was wel skoon en netjies, maar ons ontvangs was onpersoonlik en ons het die gevoel gekry dat dit slegs vir die gasvrou gaan oor hoeveel geld sy uit ons kan maak. En dit terwyl daar baie ander kamers beskikbaar was. Desert Dew kan beslis beter kliëntediens lewer.

The pictures of room were wrong. Room had 2 single beds instead of a double bed as advertised.

The photos show that the family room contains a double bed as well as a single bed and the description explains that this room uses a shared bathroom. On our arrival a waitress from the restaurant took us to our room which only had 2 single beds. After I asked for an explanation, the hostess was called who was immediately offensive and repeatedly reminded me that this was the room I had paid for, while I tried to explain to her that the pictures did show a double bed. I even showed her the photos on the website on my phone. She then offered to move us to a room with a double bed, but clearly made us understand that we would have to pay extra. The room was indeed clean and tidy, but our reception was impersonal and we got the feeling that it was only for the hostess how much money she could make from us. And this while there were many other rooms available. Desert Dew could definitely provide better customer service.

Netjiese oornagverblyf, goeie kos, maar kort meer persoonlike interaksie met kliënte vanaf die eienaars.

Netjiese verblyf in die middel van die Karoo met goeie aandete en ontbyt. Ons was egter teleurgesteld met die gebrek aan interaksie met ons vanaf die bestuur - ons is vriendelik ontvang en van afskeid geneem - maar tussenin het ons letterlik geen kontak met die bestuur/eienaars gehad nie (alle interaksie was beperk tot die met kelners tydens etes) - dit het eintlik snaaks gevoel, want ons het geweet hul is op die perseel. Daar was ook tekens van gebrekkige bestuur met by. onbruikbare haardroër a.g.v. nie-passende skakelprop en stukkende leesgloeilamp. Dis jammer, want die twee keer wat ons wel met die eienaars kon gesels was hul baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Dalk het ons hul op 'n swak dag getref?

Neat overnight accommodation, good food, but lacks more personal interaction with customers from the owners.

Neat accommodation in the middle of the Karoo with good dinner and breakfast. However, we were disappointed with the lack of interaction with us from the management - we were kindly received and bid farewell - but in between we had literally no contact with the management/owners (all interaction was limited to that with waiters during meals) - it actually felt funny because we knew they were on the premises. There were also signs of poor management with bee. unusable hair dryer due to mismatched switch plug and broken reading bulb. It's a shame, because the two times we were able to talk to the owners they were very friendly and helpful. Maybe we hit them on a bad day?

Coenie de Villiers - Karoonag - gaan beleef.

Reeds aanbeveel vir vriende. Die plek is net naby genoeg aan die N1 (14 km grondpad is in 'n baie goeie toestand) en ver genoeg om die absolute stilte van die Karoo te kan ervaar. Vriendelike diens - skoon en baie netjiese akkommodasie. Keurigheid in eenvoud. Karoolam vir aandete uit die boonste rakke. Sal vir seker weer gaan.

Coenie de Villiers - Karoo night - experience it.

Already recommended it to friends. Just close enough to the N1 (14 km gravel road in good condition) and far enough to experience the quiet of the Karoo. Friendly service - clean, neat accommodation. Trim, no frills. Delicious Karoo lamb for dinner. Will definitely be back.

Karoo op sy mooiste.

Ruim, gerieflike en netjiese akkommodasie. Pragtige omgewing, ietwat afgeleë maar deur en deur die moeite werd as jy Karoo-nagstilte en -veiligheid wil ervaar. Heerlike aandete en ontbyt, bespreek gerus. Definitief aan te beveel.

Karoo at its most beautiful.

Spacious, comfortable and tidy accommodation. Beautiful surroundings, somewhat remote but thoroughly worth it if you want to experience Karoo night silence and safety. Delicious dinner and breakfast, feel free to book. Definitely recommend.

Baie lekker gebly met uitstekende kos en vriendelike gashere.

Baie vriendelik ontvang en Erika het selfs vooraf gebel om te hoor of ons aandete wil hê. Beide aandete en ontbyt was puik en ons het heerlik gesmul aan die kos. Verblyf was baie lekker en Erika het 'n hond uit die bos gesels en ons kon nie wegkom nie. Ons sal beslis aanbeveel en sal weer daar gaan oorslaap as ons Kaap toe gaan.

Really enjoyed the stay with excellent food and friendly hosts.

Warmly welcomed by Erika and she even called beforehand to hear if we wanted to have dinner. Both dinner and breakfast were superb. Accommodation was wonderful and Erika had so much to tell, we almost couldn't leave. Would definitely recommend and go back there ourselves when we go to the Cape.

Goeie verblyf in 'n pragtige omgewing.

Die lamsboud aandete was so lekker dat dit alleen die oorslaap die moeite werd gemaak het. Johan wat ons ontvang het en na ons verblyf omgesien het is 'n ster. As ons weer in die omgewing moet oorslaap is dit ons eerste keuse.

Good accommodation in a beautiful environment.

The leg of lamb we had for dinner was so tasty that that alone made our stay worthwhile. Johan, who welcomed us and looked after us for our stay, was a star, When we're in the area again, this will be our first choice.

Dit was heerlik, baie netjies en skoon.

En daar het 'n heerlike bord warm kos op ons gewag! Sal beslis weer daar oorslaap! Die plek is voorwaar 'n oase gewees na 'n warm dag se reis. Ons chalet was pragtig en baie skoon en netjies. Ons het heerlik geslaap in 'n lekker bed. Ek sal hierdie plek vir enige iemand aanbeveel!

My hart verloor daar!

Absoluut 'n lieflike plek! Die eienaars en personeel is vreeslik gasvry en het alles moontlik gedoen om ons tuis te laat voel. Die Karoo-skaap aandete was 'n treffer asook die ontbyt! Die plaaslewe was 'n heerlike ondervinding vir ons stadsjapies, van bokke, beeste tot hoenders! Die huisies is baie gerieflik en smaakvol versier. Sal beslis weer gaan maar volgende keer vir 'n week!

Absolutely lovely place! The owners and staff are extremely hospitable and did everything possible to make us feel at home. The Karoo sheep dinner was a hit as was the breakfast!

Die personeel was uiters professioneel, vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Ons was baie beïndruk met die personeel van die gastehuis. Die tuine is pragtig skoon en netjies en die natuurskoon is onbeskryflik mooi. 'n Swembad kan dalk 'n pluspunt wees en mense sal dalk meer as net een nag bly as daar meer te doen is by die gastehuis.
