595 guests' feedbackExcellent. Friendly staff, lovely accommodation, will stay again.
We had a great time. The view is breathtaking. The Apiesbaai room is well equipped. Nice hot tub and can see almost the whole pond. The air at Gariepdam is silvery clean.
We once again had a very nice stay, very neat, clean and well furnished. The view over the dam is beautiful. Hostess is very helpful and friendly.
Please don't force me to answer questions in a survey.
Thank you, very pleasant.
See stars.
Accommodation clean and comfortable. Friendly welcome.
We were greeted with enthusiasm and everything in the room was perfect. Especially enjoyed the deep jet bath and sunrise view from bed. A'Damsview has everything you need and more. Only wish we could have stayed for a day or two more. Next time.
The view from our room was amazing. Everything was clean and the receptionist went out of her way to make us feel welcome. Safe and secure place to stay.
Absolutely beautiful view.
Wonderful, hospitable, helpful.
It's a lovely oasis feeling staying overnight at A'dams View. The fine detail and level of hospitality to make you feel welcome is surprising! Neat, clean, and beautiful! We will definitely spend the night there again.
There was a problem with our room when we arrived, but the staff were very helpful and fixed everything quickly and painlessly. Would definitely recommend.
The place is very well equipped and has everything one needs and more. The view in the mornings with the sunrise was absolutely breathtaking and we would definitely stay there again.
We were kindly received. The room is beautiful and has everything you need, even an electric blanket on the bed. The fireplace made the room wonderfully warm and the beautiful bath was very relaxing. The WiFi is unfortunately just slow and often loses signal. We have already recommended you to friends for next year's fishing competition.
Had a wonderful stay in a spacious room that was very clean.
An excellent place to overnight on the way to the Cape. We had everything that we needed. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. Thank you.
We had to change our reservation to an earlier date. The lady at reception was very helpful with this. We stayed in The Loft room. Beautiful view over the dam, spacious and very good facilities. Highly recommended.
Very nice stay. Thank you very much.
Nice place to spend the night. Clean neat facilities.
Good and neat area, drivers are very friendly. The house and everything that comes with visiting A'DAMSVIEW was and is an unforgettable experience.
Very pleasant. Great views. Excellent host, very helpful and caring.
We found the overnight stay very pleasant. Well located. Very friendly reception. Very neat.
Second time. Just know a pleasure. Friendly and helpful staff.
Lovely clean rooms with a beautiful lake view.
Incredible view of the most beautiful largest dam. Clean, tidy, safe. Just a pity we got there just before dark. Would definitely like to stay longer. Very friendly reception.
Very nice stay there, had everything we needed for the evening.
We had a wonderful stay. Everything nice clean and tidy with a beautiful view over Gariep Dam.
For an overnight stay excellent value and the most gorgeous view!
We had a lovely stay in a beautiful and tidy guest house with an excellent view. Everything was just perfect and right.
Definitely a very nice place to stay with excellent facilities. Would recommend to anyone.
Delicious and comfortable!
It was perfect for an overnight stop.
Perfect stopover from Plett to Jhb. Very comfortable and clean.
Very satisfied with the stay.
Receptionist very welcoming. Clean, well appointed with a great "sunrise".
The host was helpful and friendly, which made up for the few glitches with the WiFi that was off for the area and the blind that was not working. Nothing that we could not live with. The host is in the process of replacing the blinds with curtains, a better option. We will stay there again.
Beautiful view! Very neat.
I will definitely use your services again. Thank you!
Friendly reception! Clean and tidy with all amenities. Ensure our overnight accommodation for future to and from Cape. Thank you.
Stay was very nice, just a shame the air conditioner is in the wrong place.
Yes, nice stay at Adamsview Gariep.
Well received. Comfortable unit with a beautiful view of the dam. Good stopover for long distance travel. Filter coffee was available with biscuits. Thank you very much!
Very nice stay. Thank you very much.
A favorite Never disappoint. Everything you can think of. a braai, bath, shower, TV, aircon. Lovely bed with a great view over the dam.
Comfortable overnight accommodation. Would definitely recommend and book again myself.
Is very neat accommodation.
Good location. Friendly welcome. Great position. Splendid views. Very clean. All necessary utilities.
See stars.
A'damsview offers neat, clean accommodation. The luxury room has a very nice view, and the 2 rooms that could form a unit worked well for us as a family.
Yes, the rooms are neat and well equipped. The luxury unit we stayed in was luxurious and the view over the Gariep Dam is beautiful. However, we were not impressed with the fact that the standard unit and luxury unit are directly connected to each other. We expected them to be detached units. I would also have welcomed a covered parking space for the car, given the scorching sun of that world. WiFi is also not the best.
Hostess is a gem. Really got service. Two points though. The jacuzzi did not work and the blinds need to be repaired.
Good communication about check-in, beautiful dam view, well appointed unit with delicious braai facilities and bath under the stars. Had a great time, we will definitely stop by again.
Great place, conveniently situated and well equipped. Very friendly and welcoming reception! WiFi was quite slow.
What a delightful surprise! From the books, everything and more you could ask for. Silver clean. Delicious biscuits, snacks for sale, soft linen. Most beautiful view from the attic room! Helpful and very friendly. I just couldn't picture the hot tub! Would definitely stay there again. Highly recommend it.
Had a great stay. Very friendly welcome. The place was clean. Quiet and has a very nice view.
Als is very beautiful and we slept well. The bathtub only leaked when we wanted to drain the water. The aircon also started leaking badly after a while.
The unit is well located with a beautiful view over the dam and very well equipped, clean and tidy.
Time and view very much enjoyed.
See stars.
I had a great stay and will definitely go back there! 2 attention points, back of TV and cobwebs on the ridge of the roof.
Very nice with a beautiful view of the pond.
Beautiful view and the customer service is very friendly.
Was a very positive experience. Was received very kindly and the place was clean and well equipped.
Very nice! There are also things to do at the guest house itself. Attention to detail in the rooms.
Very nice place with a great view.
Lovely location and view of the dam. The units are very close together, so there is not much privacy and it tends to be noisy.
Friendly and helpful hostess. She does more than what is expected of her. Clean and tidy. Sink, toilet and shower need attention which should be solved by owners not by hostess.
Neat and clean place to stay. Beautiful view of the Gariep Dam. Hostess was friendly and helpful.
See stars.
We had a great time visiting and barbecuing with the most beautiful view. We were well welcomed and the lady on duty was friendly and helpful.
We thoroughly enjoyed it.
The unit was clean and comfortable.
Very nice stay. Recommendation: maybe just two plates and cutlery will help a lot.
If you value a breathtaking view over the dam, unspoilt by the roofs and back-yard clutter of other properties, you basically have a choice between the De Stijl Hotel and A'Damsview. We chose the latter and enjoyed it so much that we will probably not be staying anywhere else for some years.
The reason for the overnight stay is undoubtedly to rest for the long journey back. The constant barking dog of the guests in our adjoining unit was disturbing as the guests were out and hence the barking. The outside light also had to be on all night for the adjacent guests, and it was disturbing.
This is my third return to A'Damsview, but the prices are getting too expensive now.
Nice place. Management and maintenance can be improved. Had to call the receptionist several times for issues. The stove did not work because the wrong pot was provided. The aircon and TV could do with an instruction pamphlet. The electric blanket did not work on both sides. I requested the receptionist to resolve the issue, but there was no response.
Thank you very much. The overnight stay was pleasant. I had everything I needed and the receptionist made sure I was informed and helped.
It was a very cold night and the one electric blanket did not work. We also couldn't get the air conditioner to work. Nevertheless, we slept nice and warm.
We had no water and were not notified.
We had a very nice stay.
Yes, very nice and neat.
This was our second stay at A-Damsview. The luxury rooms are ideally positioned, with a spectacular view across the dam - sunrises are very special. The room was well prepared and clean, and the host/manager was friendly and welcoming. The only (slight) negative (hence 4 stars instead of 5) is the road in front of the rooms. Nothing can be done about this, but it does slightly occasionally impact the peace and quiet.
Was pleasant to sleep over there.
Very peaceful and quiet, we just missed a corkscrew!
A perfect view and the best place to stay.
Always sleep well here, perfect stop on the way back to Pretoria.
The place is very small with no breakware, no good sports channels and no security in today's conditions. Can get better value for money. Stayed by the ocean in a new unit that was much bigger for the same price. Some of the lights didn't work either.
Place was very neat and well equipped with everything you need. Host was very friendly. Very quiet and peaceful. Would definitely recommend!
We enjoyed the view and amenities. The tiles on the veranda and steps were dangerously slippery after the rain.
Very clean and tidy and friendly welcome. Our unit was the smaller unit with no view to the dam and also very small windows. I will prefer the dam view unit in the sequel. I will book there again.
It was ok. We had a storm on the first evening and the roof was leaking over the bath and by the window. The leak was made worse as it was dripping through a light fitting. The shower light did not work, and the light by the kitchen sink was also faulty.
Not very good. Lights didn't work and we had to go to another room without microwave.
We booked a standard room. There is no view of the particular room. "Aircon" was faulty and was very disturbing during the night. Will book a deluxe room next time. It looks like very comfortable rooms with a lovely view.
Stayed at the establishment many times, this time I was very disappointed. It was hot in the rooms without the use of air conditioners during load-shedding, which this time started at 20h00 and went on until 03h00 the next morning. Need to invest in floor standing fans if air conditioners cannot be used due to load shedding. Mosquitoes carry you away during the night. After not being able to sleep properly, I eventually packed up and left, only to find myself parked in. The units are now in need of a makeover. Will not stay there again.
Very nice accommodation with the most beautiful view.
Stunning view, comfortable beds, great service.
All you need after a long day on the road. The rooms are well equipped and have the most beautiful view of the dam. Als was clean and tidy. Definitely our number 1 overnight stop!
Amazing stay. Would have loved to stay longer.
Great venue, with stunning views. Well appointed, lacked for nothing.
Very nice overnight accommodation with a beautiful view of Gariep Dam!
We had a really nice stay, thank you very much!
A'Damsview is definitely a place to stay. First time at Gariepdam and the view was incredible. We had to move our date and the management was incredibly helpful. Also gave us feedback about the weather and made us feel very much at home. The quality from bed to linen is of good quality.
Was so nice, will definitely book again. Marlie was very friendly and helpful with everything. She helped us so nicely and made us feel very welcome.
Was a lovely place with a lovely view.
We had such a nice stay that we wanted to return again within three days, but unfortunately they were already fully booked. Very clean and tidy and the view is fantastic.
See stars.
Perfect midway point on your way to the Western Cape.
Everything was neat, clean and in their place. Conveniently located with a nice view. Peaceful, quiet environment.
In the future, they might just put up canopies for the vehicles.
Just overslept, will want to stay longer next time.
Had a great time. Beautiful dam view. Could have a nice barbecue with all the necessary facilities in a very nice unit.
On arrival we were welcomed very kindly, the lady at reception helped us and explained where we could eat and what there was to do in town. The room was perfectly clean and the bed slept incredibly well. Will definitely be at the top of my list of places to stay.
The host was friendly.
Halfway on the way to Swellendam for a family visit.
Friendly greeting. Comfortable room.
Very nice and luxurious units.
Neat place with great view.
Great service, would recommend anytime and then there's a beautiful view too!
Perfect for a trip between Johannesburg and Cape Town!
Beautiful, clean and wonderful accommodation. Awesome view!
I don't like driving at night or after sunset. This place is ideal for a stayover. Would be lovely for a longer stay as well — especially if one wants to experience the area of the Great Karoo.
Great scenery of Gariep Dam. Quiet and peaceful!
Stunning views, comfortable bed. The room was beautiful, love the design and the finishes.
You may only be able to repair the front blinds and the outside light by the porch didn't work.
A lovely location, overlooking the Gariep Dam.
Very nice place. Would highly recommend it.
Great place with stunning views.
Nice half-way stop on the way to the Cape.
Refrigerator's freezer compartment is very small. Bed mattress was really hard.
Will definitely stay at A'Damsview again.
Wonderful view of the dam next to a selected braai area. Staff very friendly and helpful. Took good care of my golf shirt that I forgot until we checked back. Think it was Meriloe? Thank you very much! Will definitely stay overnight again on next Cape trip.
Great place to stay over.
Safe overnight accommodation, clean room with all essential amenities.
Always nice to spend the night there. Clean and tidy with a beautiful view over the dam.
We got a good reception. The place is very nice and tidy. A wonderful view of the dam. We can recommend them to anyone.
Lovely room with the most beautiful view over the pond which made for a fantastic sunrise. We stay here every time and it remains a gem of a place!
Stunning views and a very friendly welcome. Very neat, clean units. Will definitely see you again.
Antoinette was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Everything was in place, except bedside lamps did not work.
I absolutely love your accommodations. The receptionist a breath of fresh air. Outstanding!
Marlo is very peaceful and there is an incredible view of Gariep Dam. Was very happy that my dogs were also welcome.
We will definitely stay again if we ever pass through the Karoo again.
Very friendly reception. Delicious luxury pampering in the unit.
The view from the pool was just amazing! The unit was beautiful and perfect for my needs. I've already recommended it to friends.
Very clean and tidy. Friendly service.
Nice stay. Clean and tidy.
Friendly reception, great location with a beautiful view and good facilities.
Very well located for an overnight stay.
Beautiful sunrise over the dam.
Very nice and tidy place. Just two problems. The braai is not sheltered or covered. If it rains like when I was there, there is no way to cook food because there are no pots or pans that work with the induction stove.
Excellent place to get a wide view of the Gariep Dam and explore the area. Very neat accommodation.
Really nice stay and perfectly located between PE and Pretoria.
A'Damsview was very helpful with our late arrival and only the next morning did we see the beautiful view of the dam! We would love to stay there again as we only stayed overnight and didn't have enough time to explore the area.
The manager on duty was super friendly. There was even an honest snack and drink menu arranged for 2 weary travellers. We will definitely use them again.
Our timing was terrible, arrived in loadshedding and left in loadshedding. Eskom, bloody Eskom.
Absolutely lovely view!
Very nice view. Friendly service.
Please make sure the light in the braai works, very dark if braaiing after sunset.
Well appointed unit. Ideal overnight stay. About halfway between Cape Town and Pretoria.
For long periods of time, the lack of vehicle shelter can be daunting. But above all it was a lovely visit! I would also like to see a slightly larger fridge and key fob. Will definitely come back if I get the chance!
Only the luxury units are self-catering with a view. Standard units are not self-catering, no view, actually children's rooms of luxury units.
See stars.
We decided that we like this type of accommodation more than e.g. guesthouses. We could safely walk outside to enjoy the beautiful view and cool evening air. Friendly reception and service!
Lovely to stop at such a neatly arranged place. Go out of their way to help you. we were very late due to traffic jams and were welcomed with open arms.
Great place. Well thought out and great amenities. We had the luxury room which really was great with awesome views over the dam.
What a lovely stay with the most stunning view and excellent service!
Friendly service. Our room had a beautiful view of Gariep Dam. Room was large and very comfortable with everything one could need. Thank you for the delicious biscuit with our morning coffee.
We had a very nice stay. The hostess is one in a thousand. She immediately makes you feel at ease. She loves the animals and that is already a plus for us.
Really had such a great stay. The accommodation was lovely and the people were so welcoming and caring.
We slept very well. The unit is open and spacious, with a beautiful view of the Gariep Dam.
Very nice view of the sunrise over the dam. Everything is nicely and simply arranged so that things run smoothly. Perfect for short term stays for travel.
We would love to stay there again. Neat, spacious, friendly reception. Good value for money, with the most beautiful view!
Friendly welcome. Very nice place.
This was just an overnight stop during a trip to Cape Town. The room was very comfortable and the electric blanket was a godsend.
We had a unit facing the dam. What a sight to wake up in the morning and watch the sunrise from my bed!
Would highly recommend the accommodation for a one-night stay and even a weekend stay.
Our unit (Fluffy Bay) had a serious moisture problem, which did not make the bathroom look good.
Lovely view of Gariep Dam from the bedroom, nice big bed, nice bedding, view from the bath over Gariep Dam, and with a window above the bath to see the stars. Ice container by bath to keep champagne or wine cold, braai facilities, well equipped, clean, safe.
Friendly professional reception and service, clean, tidy, everything works. Unrivaled view of the pond and a braai area plus splash pool. Next time we will stay longer than just one night.
It is very neat and clean with a beautiful view.
Not too far from N1, very peaceful and quiet. Is extremely neat and well equipped (we were there in 40'C and 17'C!). Allow for pets. Can go for a walk/jog. Nice braai places and a lovely small swimming pool. Shop and restaurant are nearby. But the highlight is the sunset and sunrise over the Gariepdam - indescribable.
The standby power during power outages is a big improvement.
I'm glad my wife booked me in here.
Customer service was amazing, rooms were neat and clean and the view is beautiful, especially the sunrise.
Very nice view, beautiful rooms, very friendly reception and hospitality. I will visit here again.
A beautiful unit with an even more beautiful view of the Gariepdam which overflowed. Everything was neat, clean and it was very quiet at night. The unit is well equipped and we enjoyed the sparkling swimming pool and the Weber on the balcony. Marlou who runs the complex is very friendly, ready to help, and an asset to A'Damsview!
Would recommend A'Damsview to people.
Quiet with a beautiful view.
Lovely destination to split the travelling time on the road on a long journey or to just rest and catch one's breath again for the next leg.
They went out of their way to make it comfortable for us.
See stars.
I would only recommend that there be at least cutlery and plates for two. Self care is a problem without it.
It is high time to invest in standby power.
Our unit was very well and tastefully furnished, and the view over the dam is incredible. I was however disappointed with the way the situation was handled when I called the manager that evening to let him know that there was no hot water. She was extremely unhelpful and unsympathetic, and I felt that I was bothering her with my phone call. Otherwise, the stay was very nice and I can recommend it in terms of appearance and location.
Everything was nice except for the air conditioner which rattles terribly and makes a popping noise every now and then, so I couldn't use it at night because it would wake everyone up.
We were received very kindly and drank delicious coffee, while looking out over the dam. The sunrise was beautiful.
There was not a plastic bin liner in the kitchen bin.
Had a great stay, unfortunately there is no backup for loadshedding, but understand that. Hostess recommended us a nice place to eat. The price is a bit too expensive when you consider how small the unit is, but otherwise happy.
View over the dam was breathtakingly beautiful. Would just like to sleep over next time with better planning to fully appreciate the view.
Very pleasantly received and reassured. A safe place.
In our experience, the link on the website is very misleading. It should be shown better when you book what rooms have a stoep with a dam view. For a self-catering unit, there is not much to work with, no braai tongs or wine glasses.
A'Damsview offers clean and comfortable accommodation with a beautiful view in a quiet environment. We will definitely stay there again and can recommend it!
The standard unit, unfortunately, has no view as it is at the back of the main unit. But fine for overnight.
We did not use the A'Damsview's facilities of a standard room, as I/we did not want to be locked in a cubicle for a whole night.
Clean and tidy and comfortable.
Fridge too small if you are traveling down to the Cape to stay in a self-catering accommodation for your perishable stock. An emergency light or even just a candle will be useful during load shedding.
The water was cold when we wanted to shower that night and they never came to fix the hot blanket that didn't work for us. We were also not informed about the load shedding schedule for the 2 days we were there. The bathroom light doesn't work either.
Nobody but a gardener was on site when we arrived before 16h00. After a 15-minute wait, a very friendly lady arrived and showed us to our suite. We unpacked and then relaxed, enjoying the view. We left for town just before 18h00 for an early supper at a restaurant. On arrival back at the venue, we decided to shower and then found that one of the rolled-up white towels on the bed had a big brown stain on it. On preparing the bed for sleeping, we found a stain on the duvet cover under a blanket folded across the bed and one of the pillow slips had black marks on it. The toilet roll had about a third of its paper left, but no backup new roll was anywhere to be found in the suite. Fortunately, we always travel with a new roll in our vehicle. A'Damsview adjoins the access road to the suburb but has no perimeter fencing or gates and is completely open, with nobody on site outside of office hours. There was no visible security, alarm or panic button. A fantastic view, but accommodation is let down by a lack of attention to detail, and an uneasy sleep knowing that there is no security and an alarm going off elsewhere in the suburb.
Very comfortable and tidy, nice overnight stay on the way to my destination and on the way home again, easy and value for money.
On arrival, the lady took us to the room and told us there are cool drinks, juice, and chocolate in the fridge and crisps only to later realise they are chargeable. I have no problem paying my way but the way it was said it sounded like it was inclusive. The bathroom, mainly the shower, was not the cleanest, shower door didn't close properly.
For a self-catering unit, one expects at least a plate, knife and fork to be provided. First self-catering unit I come to where it isn't, disappointing.
I canceled our reservation for the Thursday because we had to go home a day early. However, there was a room available but when we arrived it was not at all recommendable.
It was truly a highlight of our tour and would love to come back anytime and spend some more time there. Most wonderful view and close to the shore and restaurants.
Lovely views of the dam with well-catered facilities. Perfect for an overnight stay.
Beautiful, neat place. Very peaceful with a very nice view of the dam. Can definitely recommend.
Service and accommodation were excellent. Would recommend A'Damsview for a nice place to stay.
Good night and will stop here again, thanks.
Enjoyed the braai, the pool, and being able to take doggy and MTB.
Very nice and tidy with a nice view.
From the reception to the neat room, the clean facilities, beautiful view, everything was beautiful! Will definitely use again.
Friendly and helpful reception. Nicely equipped rooms and everything and more than expected. Beautiful view of pond!
The view is amazing and its very private. I will definitely recommend it!
We are regular travelers between Pretoria and Hartenbos, we have used several other overnight facilities at Gariepdam. This is the second time we have used A'Damsview and would use it again, can recommend it to anyone.
Very pretty. Well received!
I complained that I have nothing to complain about. Lux room! Perfect.
Very neat and clean and well equipped. Just remember, this is a popular overnight stop so the travelers get up at different times in the morning and the rooms are adjacent to each other.
We were received very kindly. We had a lovely stay, will definitely book there again.
Manageress was incredibly friendly and made us feel very welcome. Brought me my cell phone that I forgot in the room when I was already on my way. Thank you very much.
Small departure but okay just for sleep over.
Friendly welcome.
The full moon and sunrise were breathtaking. Would definitely want to stay again. Thank you.
We have stayed here thrice in the last 10 years and it was as good as always. The host is very friendly, the place is clean and neat and well looked after. Views are gorgeous. Thank you and we will definitely be back again one day.
Thank you very much for the electric blanket which was in working condition as it was very cold. The rooms were clean and tidy. What a wonderful privilege to be able to lie on your bed and watch the bright stars in a warm bed. The receptionist was very friendly and very helpful.
I would only recommend if a large group booked. Book the regular and deluxe unit together, because they are in one entrance, and the deluxe unit has a kitchen.
Comfortable overnight stay en route to Hazyview. Friendly reception and well furnished.
Very neat and tasteful rooms. Excellent scenery and view. Good service.
The warm sheets and extra blankets were a winner during the cold nights. Thank you for the extra effort and exceptional room.
For people who book, make sure you book the luxury room. Standard rooms are very small.
Very nice stay, thank you.
I felt very safe. I did not realize I shared an entrance hall with the adjoining unit and therefore did not lock my unit's door. When I returned from an outing, the outside door was unlocked. So the neighbors had free access to my unit, but there was nothing wrong with my unit. However, the honesty bar's prices are excessive.
Very convenient as a stopover between Johannesburg and the Cape.
We only stayed one night at A'Damsview and were more than happy with our stay in the loft unit, The Loft. It was clean, tidy and the hot tub in our unit was a plus. The view was also breathtaking. We would be happy to recommend A'Damsview as good value for money accommodation near the Gariep Dam.
Well equipped with an excellent view over the Gariep Dam. Ideal for longer stays, as well as overnight stays. Neat, excellent reception. We would be happy to recommend A'Damsview.
Great overnight stay between Cape Town and the north. Comfortable and neat.
Breathtaking views of the dam. Luxury, clean and tidy. Excellent service. Our third time at A'Damsview. Unbeatable every time.
Very neat and well equipped.
Dine at Forever Resorts' restaurant. Very friendly service.
Very clean, safe and good value for money.
Very neat and friendly people.
We were in the Lux room for 2 nights which added value to the trip as we could sit outside and look at the view. The unit was clean and the bed very comfortable.
Exactly as expected, neat and friendly service.
Beautiful cottages with modern furnishings, very neat and clean. Very kind and helpful service. Enjoyed our stay.
The room was neat, clean, perfect and the service was great. View over the dam was just breathtaking. The room was really value for money.
The unit is very neatly and luxuriously furnished. It provides all the facilities as an overnight accommodation between Cape Town and Gauteng. The reception staff are also friendly and helpful. The location of A'Damsview is ideal for beautiful sunrise photos over the dam. Make sure you are already there at check-in time to be able to do some activities at the dam, including beautiful sunset photos from the dam wall. We will definitely stay there again in the future as it is also close to the N1.
Comfortable, clean and tidy. Friendly management.
My dog and I immediately felt at home. Beautiful view of pond. Safe to go for a walk. Room clean and all amenities available.
Always stay here. Will continue as it is good value for money and super clean.
Very nice stay, friendly welcome and a good experience. Would have liked to stay longer.
The environment is beautiful. The rooms are luxurious and neat and I can highly recommend staying here. We always wish we had planned to stay longer.
Beautiful view, sunrise a big bonus. Spacious, neat and clean. Lovely beds and crisp linen.
We really enjoyed it and the attic room was nice. We were very happy and it's so beautiful to see the Gariep Dam.
Cosy loft with an amazing view of the Gariep Dam. Room was clean, neat and tidy.
Easy to get there, nice view and friendly service. Clean and tidy.
Good place to spend the night. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Places to have a bite to eat nearby. The room was also fully equipped to be able to prepare something for dinner.
Incredible view of the Gariep dam. Lovely, comfortable and pet friendly stay. Patch of grass with bbq outside. Thank you for your kind reception Sonika.
We stayed there again in January and the bed was comfortable. The shower lovely and clean. The view beautiful. Everything we would need was available. We were warmly received and would definitely recommend A'Damsview.
Beautiful view of the dam. Neat little house. Well equipped.
Friendliest service by receptionist! View is breathtakingly beautiful. Had a great sleep.
Beautiful view from bedroom and kitchen. Nice hostess and good places to eat nearby.
Accommodation was available at short notice.
Beautiful view and well located. Ideal for longer stays, as well as overnight stays.
Well maintained accommodation. Wonderful view. Will definitely stay here again. Helpful staff.
Very neat and clean. Place needs some attention and maintenance.
Convenient and safe attractions nearby.
The room was clean and well equipped for an overnight stay. The linen and towels were crisp. Unfortunately, there is a big problem with moisture in all the walls of the room we stayed in. This causes the paint to lift in places and the filling to fall out between tiles. One can see that the owners are trying to control the problem, but serious intervention is going to be needed to fix it.
A wonderful find and will definitely stay there again.
Fantastic location with excellent view. Place very nicely maintained. Nice and easy to clock in - no hassle. Very friendly receptionist. We had a wonderful stay.
Reception was very good and friendly. Have stayed here before and will again.
A pity the bath is in the bedroom / living area.
Had a wonderful stay, barbecued, jacuccied and enjoyed the fireplace inside. Woke up to the most beautiful view. I recommend it to everyone!
Would have liked to watch cricket on DStv, but the channel was not available.
The standard units are tiny, with two single beds, but neat and clean. Lovely barbecue area with a swimming pool - but that is for summer.
Everything was very clean and we felt very welcome. Was a bit scary because the vehicle was not behind a safety gate.
Slept very well. Spacious room. View really very nice.
Unfortunately no water available during power outages.
We stayed over here for one night on our way back from the Cape. Very clean, tidy and comfortable. Not much to do in Gariep but we didn't go there to explore.
Smell in the room is just a problem. Thought I'd walked into a smoking room, but then realized it was the fire place that smelled like that, largely because it wasn't being cleaned well enough. There was still a lot of ash in the unit.
Beautiful place, incredible view. Will definitely go again.
The location is very nice but we overslept twice in a matter of 2 weeks. On the first sleepover, our aircon leaked badly, the blinds were broken in the main sleeping area giving no privacy and the hot tub was not working. When we came back 2 weeks later it still hadn't been fixed.
Wonderful views, room very comfortable, but found service poor and some standard items missing. Reception unfriendly.
The loft has a beautiful view of the dam and has all the facilities one needs plus an honesty bar. Ane and staff are very friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay there again!
See stars.
Unit is neat and clean, with everything needed. View is breathtaking. The shower head and grill should be replaced.
We stayed at your place on the way to Cape Town. Will definitely do so again.
Two single bed standard unit has no view. Sufficient for one night's sleep. Roof leaks above bed, drips all night. Toilet seat slightly rotten. Bathroom door broken. Short little maintenance.
Very nice and comfortable. Can recommend for longer than just an overnight stay.
Can only mention that not all the rooms have a view of the pond.
The unit has a very nice view of Gariep Dam. There is no demarcated parking or fencing.
My parents paid for a double room and are over 65, and I would expect the beds to be double. Or against each other as they have been married for 52 years and after my Dad's second brain operation, comfort is key.
The view on the ad is not the view we had. Had to walk all the way around our room outside to see the pond. No hairdryer in room - couldn't blow wet hair. Well neat place and friendly reception.
We were on our way to the Cape - stayed here and it was everything we needed! Very nice, clean, tidy and safe. Megan has also been very helpful to us. Will definitely stay there again.
Very helpful as we changed our dates and was no issue doing so.
Location, the layout, facilities and everything is just very nice.
The rain was a bonus.
Houses very clean and tidy. Everything very convenient. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly.
It was lovely to sleep over here on the way back to Pretoria from Cape Town. Will definitely stay here again!
Very nice stay.
A small problem was that the water heater (geyser) was set quite lukewarm and only water from the hot water tap was used.
First time we stayed there. Will only book there from now on. Was really very beautiful.
The only thing that was an inconvenience was the size of the fridge, considering the time we spent there. It was small for the food items we packed for a 4 day stay. Otherwise everything was fantastic.
Very well organized. Beautiful view.
The luxury units are very nice indeed and have an amazing view. It was our second visit.
Will definitely recommend A'Damsview and will use them again. It is a very comfortable location to overnight when travelling to the Cape.
The place was well-equipped including a useful air conditioner. Very comfortable stay.
See stars.
Definitely recommended. Fantastic with the most beautiful view over the dam, the chalet is beautiful, neat and clean. Everything you need is there and couldn't have asked for a better place.
Beautiful view of Gariep Dam, safe, helpful service, hospitality, well equipped, close to N1 for further travel.
Friendly and helpful staff.
Just one word - great.
Sonika was a star! The luxury room was spacious, well fitted out and had a fantastic view of the dam. Overall an extremely pleasant stay. Thank you - we will be back.
Neat, clean, everything you need, a must for Gariepdam.
We were received very kindly. The room's air conditioning was on and the room was warm when we arrived, it had been freezing cold. Thank you very much.
A beautiful place with a fantastic view to spend the night or visit for a few days. Equipped with all the essentials and more. Thank you for all the effort to make us feel at home.
You get a standard and deluxe room as part of a unit, but it can be rented by different people. Both units are so beautifully and tastefully decorated. But the luxury room took our breath away. We haven't seen more beautiful in a long time. You can lie in your bed and see the Gariep Dam. It also has a kitchen area. Thanks to the owner for her kindness. We will definitely stay here again.
The standard room is small and very well equipped for an overnight stop with blankets and towels for showering and swimming. The lady who received us after their normal hours called a nearby eatery when we asked where the nearest one was, just to hear if they were still open for us. It was lovely to receive such friendly service.
Great value for money and friendly service. We will go again.
We had a nice stay, nice barbecue, nice fireplace, nice biscuits. Nice cozy place! Thank you very much. Nice.
I was completely disappointed by a noisy and drunk guest for the better part of the night. At 03:00 the man was still screaming so loud that my sleep was disturbed. I wondered if there was no security staff member on duty to attend to that inconvenience to your guests.
Had a great rest after a long drive from Gauteng. The Loft Room is definitely a winner! Wish we could stay there again!
It is definitely a nice place to stay. Neat and clean. With the most beautiful view of the dam and greenery around the accommodation. Will definitely go back!
Very tidy, very nice view over the dam, staff very friendly and helpful, very nice stay here.
Beautiful location and peaceful.
Everything was just perfect, and everyone is very friendly.
Will stay there again.
It was truly a pleasant joy.
The units are comfortable and very nice and clean, always recommend to friends! Great to cool off in the pool.
Thank you very much for the beautiful place and beautiful view. It was a wonderful experience and very neat and clean. The hostess was very helpful.
A superb view of Gariep Dam from the stoep. The room is clean and well appointed.
Nice surroundings, spacious and clean unit. Beautiful view.
Very well equipped, television, air conditioning and comfortable bedding. The view over the Gariep Dam is incredibly beautiful and it is a safe place to stay.
We stayed in the Loft. A wonderful view, clean linen and very comfortable unit with absolutely everything you could need. Wonderfully private and very peaceful. Sonika is very friendly and helpful. We will never just drive past Gariep again, but will definitely spend the night here again and even drive there specially for a break. Thank you very much Sonika for your hospitality.
It was nice, neat and clean.
Neat and clean. Was very nice to stay there.
The unit was tidy, beautiful location and everything we needed was available
Beautiful place! We simply stayed an extra night. The air conditioning was welcome and the hot tub was blissful after a long day on the road. Will stay here again for sure. The hostess was very friendly and helpful.
Everything was ready and in order, and the hostess was very nice and made us feel very much at home.
Oms was kindly received. The room was clean and tidy. Nice view of the dam. It was a pleasant overnight stay.
Very comfortable although we chose standard it was perfect for a one night stay. Thank you very much.
Beautiful place, but a bit cramped which is not clearly visible in the photos. Very nice and clean, but feel like privacy is not 100% there with the unit again there is only one entrance. The guests also stopped right in front of the door which hindered loading from exit. If only it could be indicated nicely.
Even though we only stayed over one night, we enjoyed our visit to A'Damsview. We would definitely make use of this accommodation again.
Nice view over the dam in a clean and tidy modern style unit.
As always very friendly welcome and neat and clean.
Sound insulation between the residential units is poor.
Very comfortable and clean. Might book a front room next time.
Rooms & facilities are excellent.
See stars.
The room is very well equipped, especially against the cold, there is enough space with everything you need without any frills. We had the standard room, without a view and not suitable for self-catering, but didn't need it. The deluxe room does have it.
The perfect overnight stay with attention to detail. Can definitely recommend Adamsview.
We stayed in the standard unit and found it very good with lovely beds and enough blankets the night temperature dropped!) Lovely hot water for shower. We could also make ourselves coffee and have a nice picnic in our room, without going out into the cold.
Heard neighbours leaving early, otherwise a wonderfully quiet spot, with a magnificent view over the dam; stunning sunset and sunrise.
Friendly and hospitable.
Clean and safe in this Covid time.
Very neat residential unit, would definitely recommend. Good service.
The units are spacious and tidy with an unobstructed view of the dam.
We booked one of the luxury units: ten out of ten! We were received very kindly and could quietly enjoy a delicious breakfast at the hotel before we left. We appreciate that our staffie dog was able to spend so much time together.
Will visit A'Damsview again.
The view was breathtaking and the unit tidy. Sonika friendly and accommodating.
Beautiful, cute place to spend the night. Could even buy barbecue packs, garlic bread, wood and fire lighters there.
Very compact but neat and clean. Good facilities. Very nice views and places to enjoy meals. Will recommend to friends and will visit again.
Great location. Close to main route. Quiet and peaceful.
We had a great time. I would only improve the following for guests staying longer than one night. Provide scissors, sharp knife and non-stick pans.
Very nice view of the dam. Fully equipped with the necessary and indeed value for money. Wouldn't stay anywhere else if at Gariep again.
Safe, clean and tidy.
The standard units must be shifted also to enjoy the view of the dam not only the lux units. That's my opinion, cause the expectation is to see view the dam when relaxing inside the unit.
Beautiful place. We booked in the Loft. Nice big shower and comfortable bath. Everything you need in the kitchen. Will stay longer next time and have some barbecue too.
Ideal location for overnight stop between Johannesburg and Cape Town.
Beautiful view of the dam. Spacious unit with all necessities.
We had a lovely overnight stay in a beautiful and tidy standard unit. Extra effort is made to make it pleasant for the guests.
But very small.
Amenities are very neat.
Good location, breathtaking view and neat overnight accommodation.
The roof leaks at the skylight when it rains.
See stars.
Beautiful view of the dam, but we didn't expect the standard unit to be so small.
A'Damsview is in a beautiful location, the rooms are clean and the beds very comfortable. There were strange noises while we slept that interrupted our sleep. I'm not sure if it was the air conditioning or the roof. Regardless, it was still a pleasant experience.
Overnight visit, on the way to the Eastern Cape, was very pleasant.
Enjoyed it. All you need.
Unfortunately I can't mention more here because we only used it as an overnight stay.
Suggest the more expensive rooms. Back room we were in has no view.
Air-cons very noisy. Room needs attention. Water leaks in bathroom etc. no hairdryer. Small things that would make a huge difference.
Very nice visit thank you, I just think the standard rooms are only for overnight and not suitable for longer. Sonika very hospitable would definitely recommend.
Nice and quiet and the unit has a beautiful view of the dam. We decided on the spur of the moment to go home early and were very grateful that A'Damsview was able to change our booking in a flash.
Would recommend place for overnight stay. People were helpful.
The unit we stayed in really has an unbeatable view of the pond. Braai facilities make it an ideal place to visit. The air conditioning was very welcome. The room unfortunately needs some attention. The broken tiles next to the bed, and the couch leg that was off. It's little things, and can be fixed easily enough.
We really can't complain.
Coffee and fridge snacks not replenished.
Slept over on the way to Kroonstad. Everything was there that was needed and was able to enjoy a lovely evening there.
The room felt very closed in, with small windows.
The room was at the back of the unit with no view. The room was very small and cramped. No table or chairs to sit at. If I had known the unit consisted of two rooms I would have booked the whole unit as there were two more people in our group. It was expensive for what you got.
Standard room is small with no view. Sufficient for one night, but possibly better deals elsewhere for rooms with no view.
The standard unit has no view nor was it indicated as such on the electronic reservation. The air conditioning is very noisy, very difficult to rest. The unit was very tidy but is only suitable for overnight accommodation.
Thank you very much A'Damsview, for the warm welcome and delicious biscuits. The Loft is more than beautiful, spacious and comfortable. We had such a nice stay at your place. See you DV for sure again next year.
Quiet and everything beautiful!
Gorgeous views, excellent facilities and dog friendly!
Beautiful surroundings with accommodation that has a lovely view of the dam. Will definitely stay again on the way to the Cape.
Would highly recommend for overnight on route to holiday destination. Absolutely amazing views of Gariep dam.
See stars.
Excellent stay thoroughly enjoyed.
The place itself is very beautiful. Fully equipped with everything you need. Very clean and in a safe area. Will be returning soon.
Very nice view, clean and tidy, friendly reception.
Greeted very kindly on arrival Everything was very nice and clean.
Most beautiful sight that greeted us at sunrise. Very comfortable and big enough for 2 people.
The room is great. It is clean and service is great. Had some problems with guests who lived next to us, who feel nothing and nothing for the rest of the residents. But yes, not everyone can be civilized. I can find nothing wrong with the service and residence of A'Damsview. Will stay there again.
Pet friendly, clean and neat accommodation with a great view of Gariep Dam. Good value for money.
Very neat unit with an unbelievable view. The units have everything that you need to make your stay pleasant. Will definitely stay there again!
The place is very well located and the views of the dam are breathtakingly beautiful! The unit was super clean, tidy and nicely durable. Sonika warmly welcomed us and went in quite specially on a Sunday to finish our discussion. Small details like plunger coffee and rusks were very welcome after a long day on the road. We will definitely be back there! Thanks so much Sonika, it was really just a pleasure!
The luxury unit has the most beautiful view over the Gariep dam. My wife couldn't stop taking pictures. It's pet friendly too. Sonika received us so kindly and provided help. The design and layout is stylish, modern and comfortable. Perfect location if you are on your way to the Cape or Karoo. Will definitely stay here again.
Clean, neat, crisp linen. Beautiful view of the dam. Will stay there again.
Awesome place. I put in a special request to make our engagement weekend a little more special and everything was way beyond my expectations. Room was clean, tidy and an incredible view. Thank you very much Sonika it was awesome.
Always nice there, clean, tidy and views are picture perfect. Service very good and friendly. Def the best place on gariep to spend the night!
The only issue was the rain leaks due to the truly apocalyptic storm we experienced the night we were there. Other than that unexpected massive weather event, we were well received by the friendly and attentive staff who went out of her way to make contact with us and accommodate our late arrival.
We were kindly received. We requested to be able to check in earlier and they immediately let us know when our room was ready.
It's the finer details like some bath salts and toothpicks that are put out for you that make a big difference when you stay overnight. Very cute place, we will definitely spend the night there again.
Nice overnight stay.
We loved our stay, very clean and well equipped.
Just the right distance from Pretoria to arrive and cycle in daylight. The dam offers breathtaking sunset and full moon rising as well as sunrise very special. Steijl hotel's veranda and cocktails as well as food are to be recommended. OK mini market and liquor store has necessary for self-help and braai and swimming facilities just what is needed to shake off city.
A fresh breeze after a long day's travel. Staff are friendly, facility is clean and relaxing. I will recommend to all traveling down to the coast.
Good service, friendly reception. Breathtaking view, definitely going to visit again D.V.
However, we are concerned about the loose kitchen shelf and hook in the shower. It may fall off soon. Otherwise very pleasant, thank you!
Every moment was momentous, from arrival after a nine hour journey up to leaving the next day after viewing the amazing scenery and satisfying our photographic appetite.
The quietness is wonderful.
Peaceful surroundings with luxurious accommodation and beautiful views. The dam wall is just around the corner where you can organize an excursion or drive over the dam wall on the road.
I stayed in the deluxe unit and it was truly luxurious. During the night the mosquitoes and gnats came in from somewhere and there was no bug spray or mosquito repellent in the room. No gate at the entrance and for solo and female travelers this may be off-putting.
Just overslept. Arrived late. Driven early. The filter coffee was fantastic! The view the next morning absolutely breathtaking. Our stay was luxurious and very tidy
The unit is well equipped for basic self-catering. We barbecued and sat outside on our private patio and ate with the view of the dam in the background. Check in was very easy and quick. Our toddler really enjoyed the pool. The unit was very nice clean and tidy. We will definitely stay here again.
We were just quick overnight guests, but will definitely come again.
The house in the village is very spacious and extremely well equipped with air conditioning in the master bedroom and washing machine in the kitchen. It is not located at the new A'Damsview dam view units. There is a carport for your car in the street, would prefer to be able to park behind a locking gate. All and all a very reasonable price for a place to rest after the long journey between Cape Town and Johannesburg for a day or so.
Just what one needs for an overnight stay.
It was my first time staying there and would recommend it to other travelers anytime.
The view is fantastic and exactly as it appears on the web. The accommodation is excellent and check-in was totally painless.. It's only the bathroom and toilet of the loft unit that was a bit strange for us - without doors there really isn't enough privacy. I would suggest putting a door between the toilet and the master bedroom. But that would in no way stop me from going again, or from recommending the place.
Maybe consider a little more privacy in the loft bathroom with the extra room. If a family is sitting on the porch, the bathroom is a little open. Very nice and modern room.
Nice view of pond from premises. Eating places nearby.
No double bed option! Two people sharing are 90% a couple?
See stars.
Sonika was very gracious and did not once complain about the fact that we were checking in so late. I would not rate the parking as secure. The property is not fenced or gated and they do not have security guards. So, we were nervous parking our cars outside with some of our stuff still in the car.
Clean, luxurious, tasteful unit.
Beautiful views and nice and quiet.
Lights at braai do not work. My third time there and still not working. Grill also dirty. Get stainless steel, it's easy to keep clean.
Quiet, luxurious stay for the evening. Was impressed that the receptionist came to check if I had arrived safely after hours. Load shedding messed up the cell phone signals, thank you very much.
Sleeping accommodation was comfortable but very few surfaces to put necessities on.
We took the 'standard' unit. It is very small for two people, especially if you put your luggage in the room as well. It also has no pond view. The shower needs repair/cleaning work.
There were a few things that didn't work, but otherwise the place is beautiful. (The bath's tap and plug did not work and also some of the cupboards and drawers' knobs were completely loose. You only expect when you pay a lot that everything must be in working order).
The luxury unit where we stayed is fantastic with sleeping, braai, dining and shower facilities, as well as a hot tub.
The chalets have a beautiful view of the dam and it's very relaxing to sit outside and watch the sunrises and sunsets! The place is very luxurious inside and everything you need is there. The bed sleeps incredibly well, the spa bath was a relief after our long drive! Will definitely visit this place again on the way to Cape Town and I highly recommend it!
Great value for money, will do it tomorrow again!
We had a really nice stay! We couldn't get enough of the beautiful view over Gariep Dam. The place was very neat and we enjoyed every moment of it! Definitely a place I would recommend to anyone! Thank you A'Damsview for the excellent service!
Keep up the good work.
A'Damsview is a beautiful and modern laid out place, with everything one could possibly need. It's luxurious and comfortable. Beautiful view of the Gariepdam in a nice quiet environment. Will definitely stay there again!
Beautiful decor, good service, most beautiful view ever! Will definitely go again!
We were very kindly received. The accommodation is well located with a beautiful view of the Gariep Dam. The units are fully equipped and very neat. A bonus was the fact that our 2 dogs were welcome!
Everything was easy to find, neat and a beautiful and tranquil atmosphere!
Friendly, helpful staff and safe comfortable and clean unit.
Very neat unit that also offers a lot of privacy. Beautiful view and close to everything we needed. Haven't had such a nice stay in a place that offers everything you need. Will definitely go back.
It was so lovely to stay here. Was kindly welcomed and everything was so clean and tidy. Had a great night's rest and the view is beautiful. Will stay here again for sure.
Will go again and again. Lovely.
Quiet, fresh, refreshing, friendly reception ─ very nice. Beautiful views. A definite yes!
Very nice view from the unit, definitely value for money.
Lovely place after a long journey, house was clean, stylish and meal at the hotel the evening was delicious.
A'Damsview is the perfect stopover for travelers looking for a nice, clean place that is well appointed for any group. Our "combo unit" has more than enough space for 2 couples to have a great time together and spend the night quietly with a beautiful view of the dam in the background.
Only thing was we couldn’t get air on to warm up room, but wasn’t a problem. Been there twice and love it.
Neat, safe accommodation with a great view. Comfortable and private.
Beautiful, neat, clean place. Location has an excellent view of the dam.
Very neat and clean. Beautiful view.
Thank you very much for the recommendation to stay at A'damsview. View was wow and the cottage 10/10. Very neat and so perfect, thank you.
Clean, safe and comfortable. Owner very helpful.
The unit is neat and clean, with beautiful views of the dam.
I don't usually stop in Gariepdam, but after this time I will even come and stay here for a whole week. The view is absolutely fantastic. The tub has an opening above the roof that can look at all the stars. For winter months there is also a fireplace!
It was very neat and clean. Reception was friendly, we recommend A'Damsview. The view over the dam is breathtakingly beautiful.
After a long journey from Limpopo to Cape Town A'Damsview was the place to rest and relax before we could continue with our trip to Cape Town. I can not explain to you what amazing feeling it was to wake up to such a beautiful sunrise. With the sun shining over the dam and into our bedroom. Wow! Thanks to the friendly staff and for being able to let us in after we arrived late that night. Even the guests that was staying there were so friendly.
Beautiful views. Everything was clean. Spacious bathroom. TV and air conditioning in rooms. Our no. 1 place to sleep in the future.
Beautiful view, very quiet and peaceful. Here you can unwind and get rest for your soul.
Lovely place! Will definitely stay there again! Children could run around and we could barbecue with a beautiful view. Adequate parking. Air conditioning in room is great!
Lovely overnight stay with the most beautiful view over the dam.
Very neat accommodation, everything you need. Was a nice overnight stop on the way to Cape Town.
After a long journey this was just the right accommodation. Neat, clean, well equipped with a lovely view of the pond.
What a nice surprise to end up at such an oasis after a long day on the road. We stayed in Apiesbaai Luxury Unit. Everything one needs. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed, nice big relaxing bath. And the most beautiful view of the Gariep Dam!
Neat accommodation and warm welcome.
A'Damsview is a cosy hideaway with stunning views. It is quiet as it is off the highway and you really get to rest. The facilities are clean and the manager was super helpful and friendly. I will definitely stay there again!
Place had a beautiful view of the pond. Very peaceful and a very nice clean and nice place!
See stars.
Beautiful views and clean cottage. Just small attention to detail needs to be paid.
Bathroom needs attention and paint.
Warm, welcoming reception. Friendliness. The location was very convenient. Beautiful scenery, most beautiful sunset and rising. Wonderful time at the fireplace. Definitely worth it.
Lovely house right on the beach. Close to all the restaurants. However, no cleaning services.
The reception was up to date and helped immediately. The room was tidy with good TV and DStv available. Parking was secure and there was never a feeling of insecurity. Admin was good.
Very nice modern apartment with a breathtaking view of the dam. Fairly well equipped kitchen, dining area and braai area. The logistics if one arrives late is also good. Will stay there again if we are in the area.

Good value for money and friendly service. Conveniently located. Secure parking.
See rating.
Wonderful, really enjoyed.
Was good, would just ensure there is enough amenities like milk and coffee. Our bed sheet was stained, but too tired to have complained as we had a stop over only.
Would have loved to stay longer.
Arranged accommodation as a stop over for my husband between Cape Town and Johannesburg. He decided to upgrade his room on the spot and was accommodated without any hassle. Pet friendly. Perfect for a midway stop. Stunning views.
Best view from the luxury flat. No view from the standard flat.
Unit was tidy with a beautiful view of the pond.
Friendly reception on arrival. A nice view of the dam from the parking area and also a neat, clean swimming pool available on site.
The view is beautiful and the hotel is across the road with a lovely restaurant.
Bathroom walls have moisture problem which shows very poorly. No view or door to outside or porch. Bedding clean and tidy. Deluxe unit maybe a better idea but standard room is not recommended.
Just want to suggest that you should take care of the toilets. Our unit's toilet didn't work at all, looked for the faucet, but there was nothing. Called the number to report it, the lady just said the owner is not available right now, and she can't help us, we have to wait until next morning. Well the next morning at 6 o'clock the toilet suddenly started working. But we left at 7 o'clock. A'Damsview will have to take precautions. Thank you very much.
Would work perfectly if one booked the self-catering luxury units. However, the standard units do not have the facilities for cooking or a place to sit. Part of the Damsview would have been cool too. Would help a lot if the indications could be better for the standard units.
Beautiful, neat and friendly people.
Would definitely recommend A'Damsview. All that one needs. Clean and tidy, we had a wonderful stay. Thank you Jean for your hospitality. Definitely our halfway stop for our travels.
A'Damsview is really the perfect stop after a long day on the road. Everything was perfect, from the accommodation arrangements to the departure. Definitely value for money. Will recommend A'Damsview to anyone.
A'Damsview has an incredibly beautiful view of the Gariep Dam. The luxury unit we stayed in is beautiful and very well equipped, and overlooks the dam. Dogs are welcome, but they must be on a leash outside the room. I would definitely recommend this place!
See stars.
The view over dam is breathtakingly beautiful. It's peaceful and quiet there, exactly what you need after a long drive.
Was a wonderful experience. Unfortunately only for one night. Friendly reception and very helpful. Everything in the unit was perfect down to the last detail!! What a beautiful view of the whole pond. Would definitely recommend and would love to go again myself, but definitely for more than one night.
Perfect location, modern, clean facilities. Can't ask for better.
Enjoyed my stay. The unit was neat and clean with stunning views.
We stayed in the loft, everything was beautiful and very clean. Unforgettable view, it was very cold, but with the aircon and warm blankets we slept very well. It's a shame we could only stay one night.
Very tidy and everything we needed for our overnight stay. Would love to book a deluxe unit next time. Tastefully furnished.
A very beautiful place with the best view of the dam.
It was very pleasant and we would definitely recommend it.
This is the second time we have stayed here and it just gets better every time. Beautiful views, lovely accommodation, everything is neat and clean and of the highest quality. There are even braai wood and braai suits available at reception. We had a great stay, just a shame it was only 1 night. Will definitely come again and recommend to everyone. Thank you very much for your hospitality.
Was beautiful, we had a nice barbecue and visited. Had a great sleep. Was really 5 star!
Comfortable accommodation with all the basic amenities. Very nice view of the dam, friendly service. Recommend this above anywhere in Colesberg and is not too far out of the way.
So beautiful, beautiful and "unknown". Who should advertise the beautiful places?
We stayed in the unit, Apie. Was not aware it is actually part of a bigger unit, thus we had a shared front door. Perhaps you can consider having stock of non-perishable items at the office. The unit and the bathroom was tidy, Works as a room for kids. The absence of chairs are a problem for adults, would have only fitted with a double bed.
Not just an overnight destination between the Cape and Gauteng, but a holiday destination. Well equipped with all possible amenities and accessories. Then there is the view to top it all off.
I was rather disappointed in the fact that I had paid for two luxury units and only one of them had a spa bath. I thought both the units I had booked would have had them.
The deluxe unit and standard unit were right next to each other which is very convenient for parents with children. The luxury unit has a fantastic view of the Gariepdam and is fully equipped for self-catering. I was pleasantly surprised with the units as well as their affordability. I will definitely stay there again in the future.
It was truly a wonderful experience that we will definitely want to experience again. So we will book again at A'Damsview.
Accommodation was value for money.
Friendly reception. Very neat units with the most beautiful view. Fireplace is a winner! Great.
Would happily recommend the place.
I stayed in the luxury unit for 2 people. The specific units are very good value for money and very well equipped.
Unfortunately we arrived after dark and left very early again, but we were so impressed that we will stay there again on our return trip and fully enjoy the facilities and view.
We won't just drive by here again, we were warmly welcomed and immediately felt at home in the well-equipped unit. A'Damsview is a welcome break for anyone taking the long road!
Beautiful, neat and clean. Perfect for a romantic getaway.
Perfect view over the dam, with a beautiful sunrise. Lay in your bed and enjoy a cup of coffee.
Is not just an overnight destination but a fun part of a holiday with a barbecue and an incredible view. Jean does everything to make you feel at home.
Had a great time. Beautiful units and view.
Nice spacious, clean and comfortable house with a beautiful view and all the necessary facilities. You have a choice of bath or shower. There is a fireplace and a well-equipped kitchen/dining room. The view over the dam is amazing!
We loved staying at A'Damsview especially as our 4 legged "kids" could enjoy the view and the freedom with us. The unit was very clean and had everything we needed for self-catering. As we arrived late-ish, in the dark, it would have been nice if they could have supplied us with a bag of wood and some fire lighters as it was bitterly cold. Other than that, we loved staying at A'Damsview!
Very neat and simple.
Would recommend A'Damsview. Beautiful view and very clean accommodation. Will definitely book again.
See stars.
It's a beautiful venue with the most beautiful view. The units are very nice and well equipped! I will definitely stay there again on my way to the Cape!
Was a pleasant surprise! Had a great stay!
Baie lekker. Met 'n stunning view. Sal weer daar bly. En die plek aanbeveel.
A'Damsview is a very comfortable and tidy place to sleep. We had a lovely stay and it was easy enough to walk over to the hotel for dinner if you don't feel like cooking yourself. The service was excellent, we will definitely stay here again.
Two recommendations: The stairs down to the kitchen/dining room deserve a handrail. A handle in the shower would be welcome (from the point of view of the elderly). The rest of the accommodation excellent.
Good location at the dam, excellent layout of rooms, hospitable people!
The view from the luxury units over the dam is beautiful. Be careful of snakes, especially if you have a pet traveling with you. I almost stepped on a small adder on the porch in front of the unit. Probably the warm baked fleece on the porch is a nice place for the vermin to spend the night. Covered parking or at least shade only for vehicles would be appreciated.
We enjoyed it very much. Will overnight there again, can recommend.
Not clear distinction between amenities of luxury unit and the standard unit. Was under the impression that there will at least be a microwave in a self-catering unit. Go way to heat food and in our case to sterilize baby's bottle. My suggestion would be to give the customers who book in the future a better indication on the website of which facilities are available between the options.
Accommodation is great for overnight stays. There is also so much to do that one should spend more time there.
Excellent view of the pond, Jacuzzi on the veranda and value for money. A'Damsview will see me more often.
Very nice location and a great view. Sorry that only happened before 1 night. Everything was full so I couldn't spend one night there. Susceptible to repetition.
Lovely overnight accommodation with great hospitality and service.
Great stopover location if you are travelling through the Eatsern Cape. Lots of local history and a local OK mini market provides all the basic essentials you will need for a self-cater option.
What a perfect place!
Everything was 100%. The place is clean and neat with a nice warm electric blanket, we slept well. The lady at reception was friendly and helpful. What more can you ask for!
Jean was friendly and welcoming. The rooms were clean and neat. Try the luxury rooms for those extra spoils. A large bath and big, comfortable bed. Nicely appointed kitchen. Not to mention the stunning view over the Gariep Dam. Absolutely worth it.
The manager did a great job and went out of her way to make small changes for us, such as making equipment from another unit available to us. Will gladly make use of this accommodation again. Excellent location and wonderful view of the dam.
Although we only stayed there for one night, it was a very pleasant experience. The place is well equipped and provides everything you could need. Nice and accommodating service makes this accommodation great. Thanks again!
We'll recommend this place to everyone. It is outstanding. All you need, spacious, beautifully decorated, fantastic views and friendly staff.
A'Damsview is ideally located between the north and south of the country. It's close to the N1 and conveniently located so as not to waste too much travel time. The units are very clean, tidy and well maintained. Parking is close by so there is no long haul of luggage. The surroundings are breathtaking and the Gariep dam embankment and lookout literally just minutes away. The perfect stopover for the slightly more discerning traveller. Highly recommend.
Friendly service, clean and well-equipped units and a wonderful view from the room and braai area. So quiet and peaceful!
Breathtaking view, especially at sunrise! Comfortable beds. 2 comfortable chairs would have made the stay even more pleasant. Reception was friendly and helpful.
Advertisement on website misleading. When booking, I asked for a unit with two rooms, with double beds in it. Upon arrival we were taken to two rooms. It's beautiful but we would have been neglected, every couple in a room. We were then offered the opportunity, for an additional R200.00, to move to a unit with access to the outside where we could barbecue. The unit was beautiful and we had a great time. The photos on the website are misleading. Don't get the impression of the small individual rooms
Very clean and neat and everything you need! View and a mug of coffee is the best way to start the day!
See the stars.
Service for sure. Beautiful little cottages that are tastefully decorated. Very comfortable for a quick stay over. The owner/manager made sure that every need was met. Safe and secure. We will most certainly be paying A'damsview another visit. Thank you for a very pleasant stay.
A'Damsview exceeded any expectations the moment we arrived there. The location is something special, the accommodation is top class and the service is great. We really enjoyed it and will definitely return to experience it again. I definitely recommend it to anyone.
Had a friendly reception, very clean and neat, just a pity that we didn't have a view of the dam. I recommend it and it is value for money.
See the ratings.
We enjoyed the beautiful apartment, specially the warm beds and in room spa bathtu. The view at sun up is extraordinary!
The place is beautiful - rooms are neat, clean and you feel like you want to stay for longer. It is a pity that you don't get breakfast.
Outstanding facility, good location, very neat.
Very good location. Room (luxury unit) is very well equipped and neat. Very good choice for a weekend getaway or an overnight stay.
D'Amsview is a cute place that overlooks the Gariepdam, with the fireplace it will make every moment unforgettable. It was really nice for us to rest there after our long drive.
Very nice, will go back. But just in luxurious units.
Mattresses very nice. Bathroom facilities sufficient. Kitchen facility inadequate. Talking, crying of babies and barking of dogs from the people next door are clearly audible. People in the house opposite leave at 4am and the voices are clearly audible and outside lights shine into the room.
We had a great time at A'Damsview and the village itself is very peaceful and the people friendly. We were just a little dissatisfied because there was no parking and no shelter for the vehicle, it had to stand in the sun. The kitchen and the appliances in the kitchen, such as a fridge, are also hopelessly too small and there is not much space in the kitchen. The view was nice but very far from the dam (not at all as represented in the photos). The photos are a bit misleading.
A stunning place. I could take my pets along and we really enjoyed the stay.
