Oasis for tired bodies in the Northern Cape.
Clean, safe place to sleep with friendly, helpful staff/owners. We immediately felt at home and were quickly helped with an awesome place to eat a stone's throw from where we are staying. Kalahari Lion's Rest is in a quiet neighborhood with the most beautiful view of fields where you can stand in front of your room door and watch the sun go down and the new day break in the morning.

The guest house is a wooden house, so the rooms are not soundproof.
The place is advertised as B&B but is not. I wouldn't say it's really self-care either.

Good location, lovely room.
We slept great at Kalahari Lion's Rest during a quick visit to the Upington area. We didn't spend a lot of time at the place to sleep, but I can definitely confirm that we slept great there. The location is outside the main town and very quiet and peaceful. Do note that it is a wooden building and if your neighbors are up early, you are going to wake up. However, this did not bother us and we had a very nice stay there. We were received very kindly and had a safe parking area. Feel free to stay there.

Just needed sleeping space for one and it was sufficient.
We booked three rooms and all were quite satisfied, but one room did not have hot water for showering. We didn't report it because it was early in the morning and we were driving early. Everything was neat and clean and comfortable, but the walls are really thin and you can hear everyone talking and walking. If it wasn't for that, the place would have been really, really good. But many thanks for the friendly reception and the nice restaurant that was recommended. We had a nice rest and that's what we needed.

Quiet family visit
Kalahari Lion's Rest was very conveniently located in a suburban area - quite a distance from the center of town. It was very quiet and peaceful. The room and bathroom were comfortable and spacious. Note that it is a wooden house and that the wood does make noise and move when you walk on it - not for light sleepers, but we slept great. The coffee area was well equipped - I did miss a microwave but that wasn't a problem. We had a great time and slept peacefully. Our car was very securely parked behind the building and behind an electronic gate. The owner received us very kindly and kept us informed about the load shedding schedule.

We were very friendly and warmly received. Efforts are made to make guests feel at home and to assist with advice and action. The rooms are well furnished and the breakfast is delicious. We left early and got a delicious breakfast/snack pack for the road. Kalahari Lion's Rest is built of wood and it looks so beautiful. Unfortunately the walls are paper thin. You hear every step, whisper and breath of your neighbors, and it's not very nice!
