Nice check-off place to sleep with nice dinner and friendly management.
We had a nice stay, but the bar was full of smokers during our cocktail party. Dinner outside on the veranda was very good with nice vegetables with the main course. Appetizer of mutton stars is a taste winner. The breakfast was slightly disappointing with the sausage and bacon being totally overcooked.

I challenged my farthest limit and it was a lovely place!
It was my first visit to the Northern Cape and wanted to treat myself at the end of my 2 week camping tour with a 2 day stay in the Hotel. The Hotel, the town and its people took my breath away. It was more than I could have hoped or dreamed. The room was spacious, cool and very tidy with everything I could possibly need. I didn't check in until late Sunday afternoon and staff contacted me beforehand and asked if they could leave dinner for me in the fridge in the room. I was surprised with a delicious plate of cooked food, dessert and a little wine. The meals in the dining room are of good quality. Staff are friendly and go out of their way to make guests feel at home. It was indeed a great treat for myself that I would love to repeat again.

A gem in the middle of the Kalahari.
The 150 km dirt road from Askham to Van Zylsrus, if you are familiar with dirt roads, is not at all as bad as one often hears ─ I've driven it a lot. In the last few years there is now the luxury of a tarmac road from Van Zylsrus over Hotazel to Kuruman. The well-maintained rooms have air conditioning and everything one needs. Secure parking behind the hotel within gated area with canopies and power points for your fridge. Dinner and breakfast are good. You can get a delicious breakfast pack if you want to wake up early.

Beste Loekie,
Ons is bly julle het die kos en skoon kamers geniet.
Dit gebeur baie min dat die kroeg so raas dat dit die kamers affekteer. Hoop julle het volgende keer 'n stiller/rustiger kroeg.
Kalahari-groete,
Vanzylsrus Hotel

Interesting, different, enjoyable.
The small hotel offers interesting experience, with artistically decorated garden and rooms. The bar is a cozy gathering place for travelers, residents, and hunters. Only criticism is that the bartender takes ice for drinks with his hands from coolers and pours it into your drink. Maybe just a ladle would be more acceptable. The guests hang out everywhere - on porches, gardens, etc. The dinner is delicious, with country dishes on the menu - something for every taste. Included breakfast, very pleasant and tasty. Secure parking behind steel gate a bonus.

A wonderful resting place on the way to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park
The hotel is ideally located for those traveling from Pretoria to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. It is now (from Pretoria) about 250 km past the halfway point, but then again the next day you only have more time to drive the dirt road. Rooms were very neat with air conditioning that could work properly. Dinner and breakfast were good. The dirt road from Van Zylsrus to Askham is basically good and throughout we were able to drive at around 80 km/h without problem. Would highly recommend, the route via Van Zylsrus is approx 250km shorter than via Upington.

Vir diegene wat nie lus is vir die grondpad nie, kan deur Botswana ook ry. Jy gaan dan by Middelputs Grenspos in en weer uit by Boksputs/Gemsbok Grenspos. Dis dan net 20 km grondpad voor Vanzylsrus en 45 km van Vanzylsrus tot by Middelputs. Grensposgeld is op die oomblik R152,00 per voertuig. Jy het wel 'n paspoort en jou voertuig se registrasie dokumente nodig.
