We can recommend Ruimland.
Stay was pleasant. The hostess made sure that we settled in well. Self-catering facilities are good and the kitchen is well equipped. The Gariep River, which flows past the farm, is accessible on foot or by car and we were able to spend time by the river.

Farm away from farm if you have to work.
Ruimland Gastehuis was a beautiful place outside the busy hustle of the town. The swimming pool was a lovely treat on a hot September Northern Cape day.

Affordable, neat, comfortable, clean. Definitely worth it!
Many thanks Alta for the friendly reception and helpfulness, as well as extra sleeping space for my daughter. Definitely worth it! We had a lovely hot shower and a warm sleep. Would love to pack your pointer and take it with you, but space is a bit tight (ha ha).

Quiet and beautiful.
We had a great time and were kindly received and in contact with Alta (hostess) all the time via WhatsApp about what we were doing, she gives good advice for trips. Can go to the farm to have a picnic along the Orange River or in the summer to barbecue and visit by the swimming pool. Got fresh towels and a clean room every day. Great service. Thanks to everyone, we'll see you again.

Comfortable but not self catering.
Ruimland Gastehuise & Selfsorg 's response
All the rooms have a microwave oven, kettle, bar fridge,
cutlery, plates, mugs, coffee and tea.
Our family rooms have a two-plate stove. I think before you book a specific room, ask for a stove because we provide stoves in smaller rooms if a guest needs one. I am sorry that you did not ask for one. Most self-catering guesthouse rooms have coffee, tea, microwave, and fridge, and not stoves. Please ask next time you book at a guesthouse.
Kind regards,
Alta

We had a nice stay.
Yes, we had a really nice stay. The shower head needs to be replaced. Not so clean, lots of dust. There is no hot water faucet at the kitchen sink, which makes it uncomfortable to wash dishes.

Overnight accommodation from Johannesburg.
We drove very late from Johannesburg and only arrived very late at the guest house, after 9 hours on the road with two small children it was a "breath of fresh air" to be welcomed with such kindness. The guesthouse was amazing and exactly what we needed. We recommend this accommodation to anyone. Thank you very much for your place, it was great.

Nice and tidy overnight stay after tired travel.
This is the second time we have used Ruimland as a stopover on the way home, and once again we were not disappointed. Alta, the owner, contacted us in advance to confirm our arrival time and as always the accommodation was of high quality, neat, clean and very comfortable, even biscuits to help with your coffee. Alta received us personally, kindly and ensured that everything was right for us and that we were satisfied. Would recommend the place for a nice rest before driving further and even for longer to explore the area. Thank you very much again.

Een tegenvaller!
This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.
One setback!
The intention behind renting out these houses is very distant, impersonal and businesslike. Not something one would expect from young people. In addition, the layout is such that the porch in front of the houses offers no privacy and no view either. Perhaps our expectations were too high, but for us it is not recommended.
