Lovely little house in a game camp with a view of an illuminated water hole.
We were so fortunate to be able to add some lifer birds to our list. Very peaceful and beautiful starry sky. Lovely accommodation outside the town, but not too far out of town. Do try Sisbala.

My spouse and I slept over 4 nights, with the sole purpose of getting some rest.
Sisibala is an excellent place for people who are not keen on luxury but love nature. We had a wonderful time relaxing in the beautiful surroundings, away from all the noise and were lucky to see a lot of wildlife, as well as many birds. The owner is particularly hospitable and was willing to help at any time, if we needed anything.

A friendly owner who informs you how things work, indicates walking routes, keeps his finger on the pulse and makes his guests feel welcome. Many bird species to identify. Game that comes to drink at the waterhole is something special for city jays.

Camping experience with luxury of electricity, hot water and beds.
My 2 children really enjoyed it, they were in the field all day and kept themselves busy. It was really a very nice weekend and Oom Andries goes out of his way to make your visit go smoothly. Will definitely go there again in the future. We had friends who came out on Saturday and hung out and they enjoyed it just as much. Sat on the porch and could see when some of the animals came to drink water, which my children thoroughly enjoyed. The place is worth its money.

Very neat little house in a rural setting.
Very small and simple house where one can experience the infinite karoo plain. It's for people who want to get away from the suburbs and the cities. You feel very small under the big starry sky! We had a big thunderstorm - the first after a long drought - and it was unforgettable. There is no Vodacom reception (apparently MTN works better. Not sure about Cell C), but an even better idea is to just switch off your mobile and forget about it. The owner, Andries, is a kind and helpful person. Maybe bring a citronella oil lamp if you don't want to be bothered by insects. You are really very close to nature there on the plain. I will definitely visit again.

Sisibala is a place of calm and dead silence. All facilities were at our disposal. It is in the middle of a game farm, so a dirt road is driven and the road is not bad at all, we are with a polo all the way home. At sunset, we saw a giant turtle that came walking across the plain to come and drink water, several species of goats were also an experience. Place of rest it truly is! We will definitely rest there again!

Wonderful and very private.
Sisibala is a beautiful cottage with all facilities, neat and clean with everything one needs, far from any other people, roads, traffic or even the farm homestead. It is sad that it is so dry in the area, but close to the cottage is a water hole where wildlife comes to drink water, there are even lights at the water hole so that you can see the wildlife at night too. We really enjoyed it and can recommend it to any person who likes to live close to nature and is not afraid to be far from everything. I'm sorry we only stayed one night, would go back anytime and want to stay another night or two, three.

Cosy, but extremely tidy in the heart of a game farm. Great rest after a long day on the road.
Well worth deviating the few kilometers from the main road to relax by a thorn log fire in absolute silence. The cottage is small, but extremely clean and tidy and is adequately equipped. The two bedrooms each have a hand basin and two built-in single beds with nice mattresses and top quality linen. The shower and the separate toilet were clean and the kitchen adequately equipped. A dining table and chairs are covered on the open porch and the braai area and fire pit just next door.

It is an old hunting camp that has been converted. Very basic.
The lighting is very poor and there are no cooking facilities such as a stove, plates or microwave oven, only a gas bottle. Rooms with two single beds and a sink in between do not work. Amenities in general very basic. The dirt road with an ordinary car is going to bother. However, the owners are very friendly and helpful.
