Safe and peaceful place to spend the night. Our room (no. 2) was just a little too small for our taste, but sufficient for an overnight stay with fresh clean linen and towels. Restaurant food was tasty and value for money. Please check the bathtub plug - it leaks quite a lot. Suspect the plug's seal is gone.

Not what I expected.
I was under the impression that I booked a unit with 2 rooms, but we got a unit where all the beds were in one room. Unfortunately, there was no table to eat at or dish soap to wash the dishes with. The double bed had sand between the sheets.

Van Zylsvlei B&B Karoo Guest Farm 's response
Hallo Liza-Marie. Dankie vir jou resensie. As jy teruggaan na jou bespreking sal jy sien dat jy nie 'n 2 slaapkamer eenheid bespreek het nie, maar 'n kamer met slegs 'n dubbelbed en 'n enkelbed. Jy het 'n groter kamer gekry as waarvoor gevra. Jammer oor die seep, maar ons wou nie het dat die gaste met skottelgoed sukkel nie, die werkers sal dit doen. Daar is ongelukkig nie plek vir 'n tafel binne nie, daarom het al die kamers buite tafels en stoele. Oor die sand op die lakens laat sak ek my kop in skaamte, dit is onaanvaardbaar. Jammer daaroor. Mooi 2024 vir jou en jou gesin. Groete, Annalie

Pleasant experience. The campsite is also very neat, the ablutions definitely need to be upgraded. The dinner in their restaurant was fantastically delicious. So is the breakfast.

Excellent and friendly reception by Melissa. I booked a double room with a shower but was then allocated a room with a bath shower. She corrected it immediately.
The air conditioner and TV did not want to work, but the "beloved" load shedding contributed to this. Dinner and breakfast were great. I would like to recommend that you replace the oil lamps with Magnito Lithium lights or gas lamps, to improve fire safety. I and possibly many other guests are no longer used to paraffin lamps. Please attach photos of the bathroom. Your advertisement reads B&B indicating that the rate includes breakfast, which is not the case. In any case, your rate is good and very competitive. Check out the B&B. You are a great overnight accommodation and Van Zylsvlei Karoo Guest Farm is great.

Avoid with load shedding.
When it's 42 degrees and the air conditioning doesn't work because load shedding, the other option is usually a nice shower. We could not shower: no water because there is no power. No hair dryer. No flashlights for load shedding, only a paraffin lamp. The 'lamb' with dinner was extremely tough. The marshmallow pudding was delicious. Invest please in solar panels or a generator.

Van Zylsvlei B&B Karoo Guest Farm 's response
Ricky, ek is so jammer dat jy 'n slegte ervaring by ons gehad het. Ons perseel is ontsettend groot en die koste om alles op solar te sit, is net nie vir ons finansieel die moeite werd nie. Ons almal is tog bewus van beurtkrag en die meeste mense het begrip daarvoor. Ons gebruik 'n generator voor die hoofgebou sodat die etes wel voorsien kan word.
As jy my reviews lees, sal jy sien niemand het al oor taai vleis gekla nie, so jammer dat jy toe 'n taai chop gekry het. Ons gee vir die gaste magneto ligte, so dis my fout dat jy nie een ontvang het nie, jammer daaroor.
Ek vra weer om verskoning vir jou ervaring op Van Zylsvlei.

Van Zyls B&B's reviews were too good to be true. One always checks a place's reviews before making a reservation. By mistake I booked 2 units due to poor internet. We were not given a choice which one we preferred. Paid R800 and chose him but was given key to no 10 which was a dirty unit of R700. Unit 10's bedding was dirty as previous guests had slept there. Carpets were dirty and smelly and full of stains. Had to collect own bedding and towels from caravan. Receptionist said owner would come to see us, which didn't happen, we had to go to her. Unit looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a long time. Sanitized bathroom before use. Breakfast was not included in the amount paid. Had to pay extra. Dinner was extremely disappointing, roast mutton neck according to menu, was boiled neck that was frozen, reheated and put on your plate only half warm with a cold jelly sauce on top. Neglected food. Not value for money. I will definitely never stay there again.

Goeie middag Naomi
Baie dankie vir die resensie maar ek voel dat ek 'n paar goed moet reg stel.
U het perongeluk die verkeerde kamer geboek omdat u nie die eerste keer daardie kamer aanvaar het nie.
Ek het self skoon linne vir die kamers uitgehaal, dit mag bietjie kreeukels he want die Percale maak partykeer so. Die kamer was nie vuil nie., miskien stowwerig van die deur wat nie dig toemaak nie.
Jammer oor die matte, ek het daarna omgesien.
Die eienaar sou u kom spreek, maar ek het hier aangekom letterlik 10 minute voor julle by ontvangs ingestap het.
Die aandete word in die oond gemaak en dan op die griller gesit, so ek weet nie waar u aan die idee kom nie.

I booked a two bedroom place for me and my wife. We have 1 year old twins and they have to sleep separately or they wake each other up. I confirmed the day before that everything was fine. When we got there at 6 o'clock in the evening they only had one bedroom available and the unit I booked was already full of people. We then tried to sleep, but at 12 o'clock in the evening we packed up and drove on to the Cape. It put me and my family's lives at risk.

Other than that, the owners are very friendly and approachable, they are very welcoming to animals, and I was comfortable enough.

Unexpected developments.
We have stayed at van Zylsvlei 1 time before and it was a very pleasant experience. The room we stayed in was well furnished, tidy and the facilities such as the swimming pool and dinner and hospitality were so nice. This year was different. Upon arrival, we were unpleasantly surprised with the fact that they do not serve breakfast or dinner due to Covid. This was not mentioned in advance and we still paid the full overnight stay. We had to drive into town late in the afternoon to eat something and also leave very early because we couldn't get breakfast. We were in a rondavel and it was an extremely unpleasant experience. Apart from loadshedding which no one can control, a bat entered our rondavel and with a struggle we got it out. All the rest of the evening we could hear them trying to get in. Needless to say we hardly slept. The towels were not clean either. I don't think I'll just stay there again during the whole pandemic.

Hallo Lizette
Baie dankie vir jou Review... ek moet weet wat in my besigheid aangaan sodat ons daarop kan verbeter
Oor die etes: ek is seker dat jy kan verstaan dat ons almal se gesondheid net in ag geneem het .... daarom geen etes. So baie gaste was so bly en dankbaar dat ons eerlik was en nie gemaak het of niks verkeerd is nie
Ons is op 'n plaas en en daar is maar velddiere hier .... jammer maar oor die vlermuise het ons nie beheer nie en ons maak hulle ook nie dood nie...
Oor die handoeke voel ek baie sleg... dit hoort nie so nie en ek vra regtig groot om verskoning daaroor.

It's a very neat and pleasant overnight stop, quiet and standard rooms.
The people are very beautiful persons and guests are looked after, made to feel very welcome. Food was really very pleasant and everything was affordable. Bar's seating area could be a little more comfortable if you want to sit there and relax and watch sports, but recommendation from our side. Then again it is a very interesting bar and you are looked after when you use it. The only negative thing is the pool is dirty, there are two beautiful dogs on the yard and they swim together and their hair is all over the pool, apart from hair in the pool the pool is still dirty, and if you want to cool off and relax by the pool would not be advised. We are dog people and even for us it was too much. Then the fence around the yard is neglected and makes safety feel compromised. But we slept very well and spent the night and rooms are exactly what is expected. The atmosphere is calm and peaceful.

Although clean facilities, breakfast is not included at R880 per night. The rondavel is extremely cramped, no room for bags or to move, much less to hang out clothes for the next day. The bathroom has no place to hang towels, two hooks that are there are either towels or clothes. To sit somewhere, the choice is either the bed or outside on wire chairs. We toured the Cape for a month and found the accommodation disappointing for the price.

Goeie dag Henning,
Baie dankie vir u terugvoer. Ek is jammer dat u die akkommodasie nie voldoende gevind het nie.
By u bespreking word aangedui dat ontbyt nie ingesluit is nie. Te veel mense wil vroeg ry dan voel hulle hulle betaal vir iets wat hulle nie wil gebruik nie.
Ons sal aandag gee aan hangplek, maar hou asb. in gedagte dat die meeste mense net oornag en dus nie baie bagasie het nie.
Ek neem alles in ag wat u genoem het en sal probeer verbeter waar dit moontlik is.

The accommodation was adequate in terms of bed and bath, but due to our experience we will not return.
Me, my husband and my mother were initially going to spend the night at Van Zylsvlei to break the journey back from the Western Cape to Gauteng. After we made our reservation, my sister, her husband and their 2-year-old son also booked three people to stay the same night as us on the way so that we could embark on the journey together. On arrival the owners confused the reservations and gave us a room with a double bed and two single beds (instead of one single bed for my mother) and for my sister's family only a single bed. When we questioned this, my brother-in-law was told that he got what he paid for, even though he booked for three people. Luckily we were together and my mother could share a room with them and my husband and I slept in the room with the double bed. However, the room had an overwhelming smell of mothballs which was extremely unpleasant. When the owner noticed the mistake, we were called into our room to ask why we didn't highlight the mistake, which we did, but the man refused and so we made a plan among ourselves to ensure a bed for each guest. However, what made the stay at Van Zylsvlei unpleasant is the fact that my sister's little boy was bitten by one of the dogs. There are many dogs on the premises, most of which are very cute and friendly. My family loves animals and my niece is no exception. The owner's husband who walked into the room with us saw my nephew kneeling by the dachshund and failed to warn that the dog was aggressive. When my little cousin rubbed the puppy (and he knows how to be gentle and touched the puppy very gently), the dog bit him. When the man from Van Zylsvlei noticed this, his response was simply "Oh yes, you can touch any of the dogs, except that one." No apology notwithstanding my nephew's hysterical crying. Also no notice at the place to warn that one should not touch the dog. We obviously won't be back.

Slept very uncomfortably. Food not very good either. Not again.
We slept in rondavel. If you cannot cope with air conditioning, you should not stay in the rondavels at all. Don't know how other facilities are. There is no cross ventilation in the room. If it's hot, you have to use air conditioning, otherwise you'll perish from heat and stress. Oh yes, and the mattress is so worn, it should have been replaced a long time ago. We understand food can be a problem, but serving meat that appears reheated and is already slightly dry is not acceptable. Instead, only do simple dishes that can be made fresh. For the prices paid for accommodation and food you expect better. Will not stay here again. Site is completely open with no access control.

Van Zylsvlei B&B Karoo Guest Farm 's response
Beste At,
Baie dankie vir die terugvoering. Ek is regtig jammer dat dit jou ervaring by ons was.
Die rondawels is nog in die ou era gebou en vir daardie rede het ons die lugversorger geinstalleer om dit meer gerieflik te maak.
Ek kan u verseker dat die vleis wat ons voorsit nie opgewarmde vleis is nie. Dit word wel op 'n 'griller' gaargemaak, wat dit moontlik te droog na u smaak gebraai het. Ek is jammer vir enige ongelukkigheid met die kos wat voorgesit is.
Van Zylsvlei is 70 jaar oud in die 70 jaar van sy bestaan, was daar nog geen voorval van enige aard nie. Dit is 'n plaas en toegansbeheer is oneffektief. Ons as permanente inwoners weet dit is regtig baie veilig hier en daarom adverteer ons dit ook so.

Quiet and nice!
The people are friendly and warm. We were treated like old friends and welcomed with an open heart. The houses are beautiful, neat and comfortable. It's nice that the property is also a bit out of town. Not too far at all, but just far enough that it can still be seen as a holiday in its own right. This is the best place to sleep over in Colesberg.

As with our previous overnight stay, van Zylsvlei was spot on. It was a pleasant surprise that there is now a small fridge in the room to keep our drinks cool for the next day's drive. We travel with 2 yorkies and find them the perfect overnight accommodation. It's quiet and peaceful, away from the busy N1. Enjoy delicious mutton curry for dinner and tasty breakfast the next morning, all at reasonable rates. We have already booked accommodation for our return journey.

It was enjoyable and perfect for a stopover. Had all the necessities. The following 2 aspects could be improved: 1. The swimming pool was dirty 2. The place isn't pet friendly towards all types of dogs. They have dogs on the farm and we bought our dog, but our dog doesn't really socialise well with other dogs. We had some difficulty with this as the other friendly dogs came to us looking for attention. Perhaps they should set up an area for dogs who aren't that keen to socialize with other dogs.

Hallo Ingrid
Dankie vir jou insette. Daar sal nie akkommodasie al vir 70 jaar aangebied word as dit onveilig is hier nie. Dit is regtig baie veilig. R 70.00 vir ontbyt is ons standaard fooi vir ;'n volledige Engelse ontbyt. Vrugte en yoghurt, graanvlokkies en 'n bord warm kos. Ek is nie bewus van enige plek waar jy net vir 'n bordjie pap kan betaal nie.

One is always sceptical about what you'll get when you book over the internet, so we were pleasantly surprised with Vanzylsvlei. From the moment you enter this place, there is a friendly atmosphere and pretty gardens. There is loads of space for the kids and dogs to play and run around safely. Our room was comfortable with all the facilities one could ask for and, if you'd like a meal, there is a variety of delicious meals to choose from. We were so impressed and would definitely book here again.

Van Zylsvlei B&B Karoo Guest Farm 's response
Van Zylsvlei is wel as B&B geregistreer, maar aangesien ongeveer 60% van die gaste nie ontbyt wil hê nie en vroeg wil ry, gee ons die opsie van ontbyt. Te veel mense het gevoel dat hulle vir iets moet betaal wat hul nie gaan benut nie. As die persoon sy bespreking deurgelees het, sou hy gesien het dat dit duidelik aandui dat ontbyt opsioneel is.
Ek wil dit graag onder U aandag bring dat ek die gas genader het om te vra wat werklik vuil was, wat se swak diens hy ervaar het, en onder sy aandag gebring dat die ligte 2 skakelaars het, een by die muur en een op die liggie self. Al die ligte in al die kamers het wel gewerk.
Ons waardeer kritiek en probeer altyd iets daaruit leer, en ek neem kennis hiervan. Ek het tot dusver geen reaksie van die gas ontvang nie en wou net van die feite wat verkeerdelik was, regstel.

Reheated food is unpalatable
There is a dirt road that turns off the N1 which is already causing confusion. There is a bar with air conditioning and cold refreshments but no air conditioning in the reception and lounge. It would have been pleasant if the hostess could have invited people to sit and relax in a cool air-conditioned lounge. Now one has to try to brave the heat in the old little room without air conditioning. The food was reheated and tasteless, without salad or vegetables. At least the Woolworths dessert was tasty.

Needs a lot of attention to detail.
The accommodation as such is very good. There have been cases of power outages because the current electrical system cannot handle the load (electric blankets and boilers). It is still acceptable. What is troubling is that the lamps provided do not work or there is no paraffin in them. The food served was clearly pre-cooked and frozen and then reheated to serve. It is absolutely tasteless and poor value for money. I usually stay at Orange River Lodge and if I compare the 2 destinations there is a huge difference and the rate at Orange River Lodge is not much more expensive. I wanted to try something different for the sake of interestingness, but I was disappointed.

Can't really recommend it. I think for a stopover that is so far from the N1, the place should offer more (like air conditioning). They call them self-catering units, but there is not a single fork or a fridge. Due to the fact that there is no air conditioning, the rondavels get terribly hot in the summer. The old fan is inadequate. There was a swimming pool without water on the premises. Not sure if this is meant for guests.

Nice peaceful environment and good place to spend the night!
There is no problem with accommodation. Rooms are neat and clean and you are received friendly. The flies were a bit of a bother, but we have to assume it's a farm! However, what bothers us more is that our "neighbors" were allowed to spend the night in the rondavel with their 3 large dogs (probably peasants).

Relaxing and very enjoyable.
Really enjoyed your place and will use it again. A ride under beautiful trees, and cooling off in the swimming pool was refreshing with the cold beer. Thank you very much!

With the meals, we might as well have stayed in a hotel.
Although clean inside, the buildings had a dilapidated appearance. We couldn't see a pool. The people were friendly.

Wonderful hospitality, delicious food, warm place to sleep.
The host and hostess are very friendly and you immediately feel at home. It was very cold and the electric blankets and heater were of great help. However, the bath water was not very hot, but excusable because everything else is very positive.
