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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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 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.

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.

Very neat and hospitable.
Rooms spacious and tidy. Meals pleasant. I just think that breakfast should only be served when guests are seated at the table.

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.

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! Farm life was a wonderful experience for our city lads, from goats, cattle to chickens! The cottages are very comfortable and tastefully decorated. Will definitely go again but next time for a week!

The staff were extremely professional, friendly and helpful.
We were very impressed with the staff of the guest house. The gardens are beautifully clean and tidy and the scenery is indescribably beautiful. A swimming pool might be a plus and people might stay more than just one night if there is more to do at the guest house.
