Warm welcome and comfy accommodation on a working farm.

Quiet starlit night and a roaring fire to sit around. Met by the friendly host who showed us to the accommodation. Rooms and en-suite perfectly adequate. We would happily come back to this stopover.

Nie sleg nie. Te duur vir so ver van alles.

Baie stil en skoon. Onderhoud kort bietjie aandag met verf wat afdop, vloere wat kraak, los toilet en stortkop wat geblok is en orals in die badkamer nat spuit behalwe op jou. Muskiete was erg. Krag was af vir 'n ruk met geen ander manier van backup nie. Selfoonsein ook nie van die beste nie. Ook 136 km vreeslike grondpad moes ry, wat voertuig uit mekaar skud.

Not bad. Too expensive for so far from everything.

Very quiet and clean. Maintenance needs some attention with peeling paint, cracking floors, loose toilet and shower head that is blocked and sprays wet everywhere in the bathroom except on you. Mosquitoes were bad. Power was out for a while with no other means of backup. Cell phone signal not the best either. Also had to drive 136 km of terrible dirt road, which shakes the vehicle apart.

Ons het gebruik gemaak van boskamp en chalets. Chalets baie goed toegerus, boskamp 'n heerlike ondervinding.

Ek kan Murray Gasteplaas definitief aanbeveel. Dit is perfek geleë as jy die volgende dag vroeg by Transfrontierpark wil ingaan. Die boskamp was amazing as jy van die boservaring hou. Die lieflikste duine agter kamp waar die kindertjies heerlik in die sand gespeel het en ons die sonsondergang kon kyk. Kon 'n reuse kampvuur maak en heerlik kuier. Alles wat jy nodig het, was daar. Dit was definitief 'n hoogtepunt van ons vakansie na Kgalagadi.

We made use of forest camp and chalets. Chalets very well equipped, forest camping a wonderful experience.

I can definitely recommend Murray Guest Farm. It is perfectly located if you want to enter Transfrontier Park early the next day. The forest camp was amazing if you like the forest experience. The loveliest dunes behind camp where the children played wonderfully in the sand and we could watch the sunset. Could make a huge campfire and have a great time. Everything you need was there. It was definitely a highlight of our holiday to Kgalagadi.

Asemrowende sterrehemel voltooi die prentjie.

Vir ‘n vinnige oornagstop in die groot Kalahari, is Minette se Murray Gastehuisie hoogs aanbeveelbaar. Netjies en rustiek, met alles wat nodig is. Die muurverwarmers in die kamers was baie welkom. Asemrowende sterrehemel voltooi die prentjie.

Overall good, but with limitations.

Accommodation is good, but the bushcamp needs a bit of improvement. During heavy rain, the units in the bushcamp are certainly not waterproof, but of course, this is the Kalahari, where it does not rain all that often. The atmosphere and location are special.

Goed vir oorslaap.

Die plek is goed vir 'n oorslaap. Ongelukkig het ons bed 'n plank onder die matras gehad en die plank se kante was baie skerp. Kan mens baie seer laat kry. Die ontvangs was bietjie deurmekaar, maar hartlik. Geen verdere probleem gehad nie.

Baie rustig en stil.

Net reg vir ons, maar nie vir mense wat van stadslewe hou nie. Vir ons was die rustigheid van die plekkie net wat ons nodig gehad het om 'n vakansie in die Kalahari af te sluit.

Wou voorkom asof hulle ons glad nie verwag het nie.

By ons aankoms was daar 'n geskarrel om beddens in een kamer te kry. Beddegoed het so uur later opgedaag. Kamers het nie deure. Muskiete was groot probleem. Geskik vir jag of mannewegbreek, my vrou was nie beïndruk nie, om die minste te sê.

A highly recommended place to catch your breath.

Thank you for the most incredible start to our Kgalagadi adventure. Murray Gasteplaas was so isolated and quiet, the sunset and sunrise were perfectly witnessed from the dune. It really is an excellent stop-over place to catch your breath. If we ever come back that way we will 100% stop there again. The little basket with washing detergent, dishwashing cloths etc. was appreciated too.

Wonderful, passionate family!

If you want chrome and glass - go to Suncity. Murray Gasteplaas is in the Kalahari, and run by the passionate Rossouw family. We were fortunate to join them on their farm and experience their efforts on the rehabilitation of Meerkats. The accommodation is adequate - good beds, linen, hot water, etc. Full kitchen. Quiet and very safe. Most beautiful starry skies at night. Wood, potjie, grid - all supplied.

Far from everything, to be alone under hundreds of stars.

Well equipped chalet where you can enjoy a perfect braai under an incredible starry sky. Don't forget anything because it's far from everything. The rooms have air-con for the hotter nights. The owner is friendly and also prepared the fireplace for us to braai at night with beautiful wood. Thank you!

Murray gasteplaas bied 'n rusplek op die langpad wat keurig en gerieflik ingerig is.

Minette het ons vriendelik ontvang by hulle selfsorggastekamers. Alles was kraakskoon ten spyte van 'n volwaardige Kalahari-stofstorm. Die varsheid van die kamers met pragtige personal touches maak op vir die droogte en vaal omgewing buite. Ons beveel Murray Gasteplaas aan vir almal wat van of na die Kgalagadi op pad is. Die lugreëling in die hoofslaapkamer was veral welkom!

Murray guest farm offers a resting place on the long road that is elegantly and comfortably furnished.

Minette received us kindly at their self-catering guest rooms. Everything was spotless despite a full blown Kalahari dust storm. The freshness of the rooms with beautiful personal touches makes up for the dryness and dull environment outside. We recommend Murray Guest Farm to everyone who is on their way to or from the Kgalagadi. The air conditioning in the master bedroom was especially welcome!
