211 guests' feedbackWow! The place is equipped with everything, very cute. Very good reception and friendly owners. We will definitely come again.
Very nice stay - what a friendly reception.
Most peaceful place under the sun. Tranquility and calmness.
Lovely well-equipped self-catering unit on an olive farm just outside Vanrhynsdorp.
Will definitely stay at Botuin again! was a wonderful hostess!
Very nice stay. Will definitely recommend. Good value for money!
It is a lovely and comfortable place to spend the night.
Very comfortable and clean and peaceful and quiet.
This was a perfect overnight stop. We had everything that we needed.
Very nice stay. A small table to eat at would have helped a lot.
Neat, comfortable, clean and safe. Hostess received us kindly, gave us permission to walk around the premises - nice and quiet.
It is a beautiful place. Quiet and peaceful - blissful. Well furnished, tidy and friendly reception.
We had a great stay and really enjoyed the silence and farm atmosphere. The accommodation was clean, tidy and livable and at the same time private.
The stay was fantastic. Nice, clean and very well equipped chalets. Feeling at home sommer.
Beautiful clean place with everything needed. Was kindly welcomed by Salome who immediately made us feel at home.
The stay at Botuin Cottages was very pleasant. It is not located next to the N7 and therefore makes it a quiet and peaceful environment. And it's pet friendly. From now on this is my first choice of accommodation in Vanrhynsdorp.
Absolutely a beautiful place. Neat, clean, well furnished, quiet, friendly, etc.
It's really top notch, the hostess is great. She immediately made us feel at home and went out of her way to make it comfortable. The units are exceptionally clean and tidy, you actually feel sorry to use them. Will definitely use this wonderful accommodation again in the future. This unbeatable outfit needs to be seriously marketed.
It was very very nice. Will choose it again. Thank you very much.
Beautiful place on the farm just outside the town. Friendly reception and everything was tidy and we had a wonderful stay.
Hospitality and value for money.
It was really very peaceful and we were well rested to hit the road again the next day. Everything one needs is there. Space is perfect. Will definitely stay there again.
Nice stay, good overnight stop on the way to Namibia.
Very welcome rest stop on our way home. So comfortable with everything we needed. Beautiful and peaceful!
Peaceful and relaxing.
Sufficient and reasonably priced for an overnight stay on the long road to Namibia.
Very comfortable accommodation and had a nice stay.
Very relaxing on the olive farm. The host was friendly and helpful, and our two small Yorkies enjoyed the farm and the resident dogs.
Quiet environment, we had a great stay.
Lovely welcome by 5 dogs and Salome.
This cottage was perfect for our overnight stay. The supply of tea, coffee and rusks was appreciated, and everything else was just as we needed it.
Friendly, hospitable. Homely and comfortable.
Quiet, comfortable, safe.
Place was clean and tidy. Hostess was very helpful in making arrangements to enjoy dinner at a restaurant.
Accommodation is basic, but with everything one needs for an overnight stay. There is an outside braai (bring your own wood). Instant coffee, tea and milk are provided, as well as bed linen, towels, soap and plenty of extra blankets. However, accommodation costs are a bit high for what is offered. The place and accessories are a bit tired/used. Seating to eat at is 4 x plastic garden chairs. Kitchen utensils are "tough" from dust/use. All curtains are not clean either. The fridge makes terrible noise and makes it difficult to sleep in that room. The master bedroom has a large tree that scrapes against the roof when the wind blows and keeps you awake at night.
Very nice stay. Friendly people, wonderfully peaceful and one's soul can recharge here.
Very nice stay. Would definitely recommend it.
Wonderful. Wish we could have stayed longer!
We really couldn't fault Botuin Cottages. 10 out of 10!
Was great, very hospitable and just fantastic, would highly recommend.
What a lovely place. We had a good barbecue and slept over. Salome is a good "host". Thank you Salome.
Salome informed us well about the area, was hospitable and helpful!
The hostess met us, explained everything, and made us feel very much at home. There was coffee, tea and biscuits to welcome us. Very cute place with everything you need for a great night's rest.
Despite the water crisis the region was experiencing during our stay, Salome went out of her way to make us feel at home. What a crisis for the guesthouses. Salome smoothly offered that we could cancel, but so glad we did spend the night there. Can recommend the accommodation. Thank you very much for your hospitality. Really enjoyed our sleepover!
Beautiful, clean and peaceful. Owner was friendly. Had a lovely stay.
Accommodation was just what we were looking for. Very affordable, clean and Salome is a very friendly and helpful woman!
Had a wonderful time. Wonderful reception by Salome and her husband. Will always stay there if there is availability. Place very safe, tidy and comfortable.
The hostess is very hospitable and the place is neatly and comfortably furnished.
Pleasant and safe environment. Comfortable accommodation.
Was great, well kitted out, warm, clean and secure.
Salome is a wonderful hostess. We regularly stay at Botuin Cottages and will not simply look for other accommodation. Everything one needs is there. Just bring your own wood. Thank you Salome for your patience with our late departure the next morning. We'll see you again soon.
The room was neat and comfortable and Salome even brought us a gas bottle to use during the loadshedding. It was peaceful and quiet on the farm and we enjoyed a good night's rest.
Salome is a very pleasant and friendly hostess, friendly dog children to come and greet on arrival. Coffee and biscuits are a nice bonus!
We had a very nice stay. (Read people's complaints in the reviews and thought it was ridiculous. ). You get what you pay for and it has a peaceful atmosphere. Perfect for a night or weekend stay. Salome is very friendly and makes you feel right at home.
Definitely recommend. Calm and relaxed after a long day on the road.
Would definitely recommend!
A very cosy well appointed cottage. Salome was super friendly and so accommodating. Was a perfect place for us to stay to get the best of the flower viewing in Namqua area. Great value for money.
Vanrhynsdorp is a peaceful rural town. People are friendly and helpful.
Good communication from the host, warning us about water interruption, and sharing location with us on WhatsApp.
Neat and clean, very helpful.
Not recommended for two couples or four adults.
Neat and well equipped.
Centrally located. Clean, tidy and just feels at home. The hostess provided help with necessary information. Will definitely stay there again.
We will stay there again.
Friendly reception. Just made a dinner reservation on our behalf in the blink of an eye (just around the corner) where we were served similarly well-priced, hearty dinners. Neat and tidy! Thank you very much, we will come again!
Vanhrynsdorp and Botuin a very beautiful place. Will definitely stay there again in the future.
Salome is a very good hostess and we immediately felt welcome. She was very accommodating to our unique situation during our stay and went out of her way to help us. The unit is neat and well furnished. Slept very well and peacefully. Lovely farm atmosphere with a nice swimming pool to cool off in on those hot days. We felt safe and there is secure parking behind a fence. We definitely plan to stay here again.
The place has everything needed. The aircons and pool were perfect for the hot 40-degree day. Perfect for a couple with a young child.
Nice out of town and comfortable accommodation. Would recommend for travelers.
Perfect spot to visit farms and experience other attractions in the area. Lovely peaceful olive farm just outside the town at the foot of Gifberg with welcoming hosts. The units have all the amenities for a comfortable stay.
We were warmly received by Salome. Salome is a passionate naturalist and is the best hostess to introduce you to all the birds, plants and trails of the area. The guest house is located just outside the town on a working Olive Farm and the atmosphere is very peaceful among all the birds. Very secure parking behind high fences, no city noise and nice, comfortable, tidy cottages with everything you need, including braai facilities, all in a well-tended garden. Botuin Cottages is nicely situated for going to see flowers at Niewoudtville or just a trip to Doringbaai and the surrounding West Coast towns. Botuin is also an ideal destination for cyclists and walkers to the many available mountain pass routes directly from Botuin. We stayed 3 nights and it was almost too little. Needless to say, we will be staying there again.
Hostess helped us so kindly from booking to our departure! She continuously helped us with additional inquiries. Had a wonderful stay. Would definitely stay there again. The accommodation is highly recommended.
It was the best stay. The owners are warm and friendly and they came and welcomed us. It's clean, refreshing and just a beautiful place. The Van Wyk family will definitely come again.
Good to find a place willing to take in overnight guests as we were wishing to break a long road trip and not have to spend two nights minimum. Also really liked the fact that there was ground coffee available, as most places only provide instant.
I would definitely recommend Botuin, there were visitors all the time saying a lot about Botuin.
Very neat accommodation. Ideal for overnight stays during holidays.
Die kothuis was pragtig en gerieflik. Baie vriendelike diens.
Wonderful stay, the friendly hosts Salome and Japie, welcomed us very warmly. Our stay was very relaxing and just what we needed to relax. The rooms were clean and neat. It was a pleasure being woken up by bird song every day.
Very friendly reception. Very peaceful atmosphere with a very cute, neat and clean and well equipped unit. Would definitely recommend it.
Botuin has cute self-catering units with everything you need. Everything was nice and clean and we had a wonderful stay. Japie and Salome were very hospitable.
Many thanks Salome and Japie for the hospitality and the information about the area. We really enjoyed our stay with you.
Friendly reception, quiet and peaceful area, top class accommodation.
The host allowed us the use of their swimming pool which pleased the children. I cannot fault anything.
The host was very friendly and very helpful about places to visit. We will stay there again.
Warmly received and greeted again on our departure. Would love to stay at Botuin Cottages again.
A lovely and quiet unit in a beautiful garden.
Restful. Close to town.
Botuin is the best equipped self-catering unit we have ever stayed in. Very well organized with clear instructions on everything. Would have liked to have met Salome though.
The location is perfect for the flower season, as well as the fact that Botuin Cottages is located a little outside the town makes it wonderfully peaceful and private. Pleasant, helpful hostess.
Everything needed for an overnight stay available,. However bed very hard, and TV too small. Directions need to be revised.
Neat, clean and comfortable.
The place was neat and clean. It just depends on your needs and expectations. Nothing special, but clean bedding and tidy.
The accommodation is very clean, tidy and you have everything you need! We had a great stay! And our puppies too! Salomie and her husband are extremely hospitable and happy to help!
Lovely rooms, comfortable beds, kitchenette equipped with the necessary. Pets welcome. We had a good rest!
Well furnished and well equipped cottage on a small olive farm only a few kms off the highway. Friendly welcome from Salome and a very comfortable stay at a great rate. Highly recommended.
The house is well equipped. The bedding is great.
Beautiful place to visit.
Beautiful apartments. Very convenient. Well appointed. Braai area is very convenient.
It was very nice staying there, everything was perfect.
Salome welcomed us kindly. The beds slept wonderfully, everything is available for self-catering. We will visit again.
Salome was very friendly and welcomed us. The beds were comfortable and the hot shower after a long day of travelling very welcome.
Botuin is exactly what we wanted! Hostess Salome helped us a lot with places where we could look at flowers etc. Very awesome people!
No problems during our stay.
Come home to a wonderful atmosphere full of friendliness and helpfulness. Everything neat, tasteful and of high quality. Botuin is highly recommended.
Had a great time. Place was very neat. Can definitely recommend it.
Very nice. Cute people. No complaints.
Nothing is too much for Salome. Excellent hostess.
Nice hot shower, firm mattress, full DStv, friendly reception. Good stay!
Beautiful place to stay! Neat and spacious.
The units are well furnished and comfortable for a small family.
Beautiful spots on an olive farm. Comfortable & nice place.
Very quiet and tidy.
Great place to sleep! Neat and tidy. Has everything needed for preparing dinner.
Stayed here for a week, quite over Christmas, due to personal circumstances. And it was great, for me, my partner, 3 Labradors, and an African Grey. If doing nothing is rest, then we got it. Particular hospitality from Salome, one of the best hostesses I have ever encountered. And I stay at many places. My animals thought this was their permanent home. Everything is perfect, kitchen, sleeping place, bathroom. Thank you very much Salome/Japie.
Beautiful place and peaceful. Clean and safe. Hospitable.
The cottage was comfortable and a good overnight option. The environment was quiet and peaceful.
Stayed here en route to Strandfontein. The place is neat and clean and adequately equipped. Our host, Salome, was there to welcome us and the next day told us where to go to see things in the area. Her advice to go and see the flowers in the Biedouw Valley was appreciated as this was a fantastic sight.
Quiet hidden gem.
We had a nice stay. Clean and tidy.
Comfortable, clean accommodation with everything needed.
We had a very nice stay for two nights. Would go there again anytime. Salome is an excellent hostess.
Chalet consists of 1 closed bedroom and 1 bedroom which is part of the kitchen. 1 couple has to walk next to the bed of another couple to get into the bathroom. Uncomfortable especially at night. Slept 3 nights but only saw our hostess once upon arrival. 1 bedroom no storage space at all. Other room pair hangers on stand.
We were initially taken to the wrong house because apparently someone had been staying at the booked place for some time. No rubbish bins where we could empty the house bin. Light in kitchen not working.
Japie received us kindly and was very helpful. It's peaceful there with nature around you.
We had a great time at Botuin. Salome and Japie go out of their way to make you feel at home. Will definitely visit Botuin again.
Stayed long weekend at Blomtuin Cottages, Mission. From there explore area, Loeriesfontein, Nieuwoudtville, Hantam National Botanical Garden, Calvinia, Vredendal Maskam center - Thi Art Koffie to name a few. Hostess Salome, arranged for lovely dry braai wood - many thanks to her and Japie. Good value for money accommodation.
Relaxed, tranquil, hospitable, great location, very good value for money, very friendly reception - what's not to love?
We were tourists and really enjoyed the overnight stay.
Interesting hostess and host. Our dogs could go along and it was so nice. Without asking they booked dinner which helped a lot because it was cold and we didn't want to barbecue.
Nice stay in the well equipped and tidy house on the edge of Van Rhynsdorp. Wonderfully peaceful and private among the well-kept olive trees. Salomé was very hospitable and we felt very welcome. Would love to stay there again.
Salome and Japie are friendly and very hospitable. This is our second time staying there. Excellent location to look at flowers in Nieuwoudtville and Strandfontein. Salome is also an excellent plant expert who acts as a tour guide. We also did a day trip from Botuin Cottages to Kamieskroon and Namakwa (Turtle) nature reserve to see flowers there.
The unit was very comfortable. Owners very friendly and very helpful with information about the area and recommendations on where to go to drive nice roads. Would never have made it to Kliprand if it wasn't for them. We also really enjoyed the two beagles! Would definitely recommend Botuin.
Salome was so helpful with directions to attractions. We really enjoyed the ride over Vanrhyns Pass, view of the Knersvlakte, Komerboom Forest, Nieuwoudtville Waterfall and surroundings!
We arrived early in the evening and everything was fine and tidy. It was cool to cold and we didn't grill outside; slept 2 nights. The self-catering unit is well equipped with internet and enough wall plugs and we would be happy to recommend it.
Very neat unit, warm and friendly welcome. It was nice to arrive there after a long day of travel.
Out of town but good value for money. Very calm. Spacious room.
Neat and clean accommodation. Very safe. The braai area was pleasant. The atmosphere calm. Had a lovely stay.
This is a basic place to stay with no luxuries, but with everything you need. The shower is small with only a curtain and bed linen no longer pure white. However, it is conveniently just outside the town, quiet and safe. Maybe a bit expensive for what it offers
The reception was so cordial, it felt like we were coming to old friends. Our place was very well equipped, and even filter coffee and rusks to enjoy. One could easily spend a few days there and explore the area from there.
Botuin can definitely be recommended, everything was tidy and we were received very hospitably.
We loved our stay at Botuin in our own separate cottage. A little out of town and experienced the beautiful sounds of birds and farm animals settling for the night. We would love to visit again.
We stayed wonderfully through Botuin. Salome was wonderful and sure enough that we needed everything. Botuin is beautiful, clean and very good value for money. We slept wonderfully!
Very neat, spacious chalet. Everything is in place. Owners kindly received us. I highly recommend this accommodation.
We were very kindly received by uncle Japie. Accommodation was very neat and clean. Calm atmosphere. Would definitely recommend it.
We had a lovely time at Botuin. Piet and Salomé are so hospitable, we felt welcome right from the start. We also had a request to book earlier, as well as leave later, with which they had no problem. The place is comfortable, clean and furnished with care, we will definitely stay there again in the future and can recommend it to anyone.
We were kindly received. If was neat and clean. Would recommend it to anyone at any time.
We only stayed one night on our way to the Kalahari. Everything was very neat and clean, nice and spacious rooms. The cottage had everything we needed with small children.
Meant for all nature lovers. Bird watchers, enthusiastic hikers, photographers and anyone who loves history. This is the place for you.
Salome het ons ontmoet en sy het uit haar pad gegaan om ons te behaag. Met ons wat op motorfietse aangekom het (haar eerste motorfietsgroep, sê sy), het sy gesorg dat ons na die winkel vervoer word om plaaslike inkopies te doen sonder om die fietse te gebruik. Sy het die ZAR-restaurant in die nabygeleë woonwapark aanbeveel en besprekings vir ons gemaak. Ons het 'n heerlike aand en 'n gemaklike kamer met al die geriewe geniet. Gasvryheid van die eerste bestelling!
The accommodation was nice, clean and everything I needed for an overnight stay. The owners were very hospitable and helpful. I also felt safe as a woman alone.
Friendly welcome with very neat self-catering facilities. Good coffee and the most delicious rusks at a very reasonable price.
Will stay there again, received a friendly welcome from hostess.
Very satisfied with the stay, we were pleasantly surprised, a bit out of town, a bit of a dirt road, but that dead silence was incredible and food for the soul. Only spent 1 night there, but the cottage was fully equipped, neat, clean and everything you need. What was striking to me was how clean and raked the grounds outside are. Tidy. Will definitely stay there again. Thank you very much!
Was impressed with hostess' reception and cottage in which we stayed. Quiet environment.
We stayed at Kalamati cottage which was very clean and neat and modern. Everything what we needed was there with the braai at the back of the building. Japie, the host, greeted us on arrival and explained everything about the cottage. We would definitely stay there again, when in those surroundings.
Friendly reception. Neat and clean. A pity the pool was not available.
Very pleasant clean and safe place. Will definitely use it again.
After a long journey by car it was nice to be able to saddle up and relax right here on the farm.
Kind and friendly owners.
Everything was provide. Calm place.
Very warm welcome, place is neat and clean. Japie and Salome, thank you very much for everything. You are heart people.
Would definitely stay there again. The cottage has everything you need.
The accommodation was perfect! Everything you need was in the house. The silence and birds' singing contributed to the wonderful farm atmosphere. We spent the night there on our way back from Namibia and were very satisfied. Stoffel and Bastiaan (the 2 dogs) were part of the welcoming committee which was really nice for us dog lovers. Would definitely recommend the accommodation to others touring in the area.
We were made very welcome and enjoyed the comfortable and well equipped accommodation.
Pleasantly surprised, everything neat and spacious, went out of her way to make everything comfortable for us and very good value for money, and had a very nice stay.
Ons sal dit aan ons vriende aanbeveel sou hulle daai kant verbygaan.
Will definitely go again. Was good value for money and very tranquil.
Spacious and nicely furnished for the traveler who wants to admire the beauty of flowers. Thanks to the owners for a wonderful experience staying at Botuin.
Friendly welcome by Salome. Beautiful, well equipped and clean cottage. Everything you need to feel at home. Had a nice biscuit with the coffee.
Very friendly reception, very clean facilities and everything you need to feel at home. We found the place easily and the directions were clear.
Botuin Cottages is a nice place to stay with a dog. Our puppy had a great time playing with the dogs on the yard. And they know all the best places to visit in the area - their advice was worth its weight in gold!
Hosts very friendly. Excellent value for money. Interior spacious with aircon which is essential in winter. Well located with lovely birdlife. Ideal accommodation for day travel to Calvinia and Nieuwoudtville. Next time we will stay longer.
Will definitely visit again.
We were greeted by Salome and made to feel very welcome. The unit is comfortably furnished with some thoughtful attention to detail. Tabard lotion, insect spray and a plug-in insecticide for the ever present mosquito problem. Tea, coffee and rusks, soap in the hand basin and 100% cotton sheets and pillow cases! Our stay was brief as we were on a short road trip, but I would definitely book again should we be passing the area.
We had a nice stay and the environment is calm and peaceful, no noise.
The cottages are on the farm yard near the main house. Our houses were pretty neat and comfortable. Japie and Salome are friendly and helpful. The farm is just outside the town but close enough. We had a nice stay.
The peace and quiet is food for the soul. Will definitely come and stay again.
Thank you Salome for the care. Our hostess called us to see if we were safe and what time she should expect us.
Quiet and neat. Necessary facilities are there. As it is an olive producer, olive products may be offered for sale.
The apartment was excellently equipped and the beds and bedding were of high quality. Bathroom comfortable and spacious. Peaceful and quiet area, and we went for a delightful walk in the pretty garden and secure street. The owner was very helpful and friendly.
Our stay was lovely and we had a hot shower and everything was clean and tidy. Will definitely go again.
We would definitely recommend Botuin.
Appreciate the welcome, as we had a very hostile welcome the previous day when checking in to another guesthouse in the same town. The lady was so friendly, the atmosphere was very relaxed, we felt at home, the kids could enjoy themselves. We will be returning.
See stars.
We had a great stay and the hostess's kindness was wonderful! Extremely neat unit.
Beautiful place with very hospitable reception. Will definitely stay there again, just a little longer next time.
Well equipped. Quiet and tranquil area.
We had a very nice stay. Everything expected from a self-catering unit was there.
Reasonable accommodation and pricing is fair.
See stars.
Lovely patio to enjoy the cool breeze on a hot day underneath a big tree. Place is neat and clean, and it is quiet and peaceful. I recommend it for after a long day of driving.
Felt welcome and had a lovely stay.
Nice neat room with fully equipped kitchen and excellent bathroom - host also very caring and pleasant.
Very calm and quiet; in a rural setting.
We had a wonderful overnight stay at Botuin. The accommodation is clean and tidy and contains everything one might need! Owners are very friendly! Would definitely recommend Botuin!
What a wonderful and friendly welcome that received not only us but our dogs as well. It was such a big bonus to discover an oasis with grass in the northern Cape and northern part of the West Coast after a week. I think Japie has one of the most beautiful gardens that is just too tempting to go hiking and exploring. The food and service were top notch. Thank you for sharing your wonderful estate.
Great stay. Good communication to confirm times. Easy payment option. Tranquility in abundance.
Clean, neat, aircon for the cold! Everything you need, will be back!
Plek is baie netjies, rustig en die gasvrou was die beste. Salome, Stoffels en Basjan was baie baie vriendelik. Definitief die moeite werd.
A lovely host, friendly and made us feel very welcome. Would recommend this to other travellers.
We were very kindly received by the owner, our place was ready, clean and tidy on arrival. Delicious plunger coffee makes you feel right at home. Private braai corner. Good value and centrally located. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We felt at home in the farm vibe at Frantoio. The little house has a good bed, linen, and comfy shower. Very friendly and helpful hosts.
Thank you very much for hospitality, chalet was very neat and clean.
See the stars.
We really enjoyed the one night stay. Owners very friendly people and we had a nice chat. Even got a cutting of the most beautiful mallow I've ever seen. The accommodation is nice, neat and clean. We are provided with nice coffee, tea and milk and the most delicious biscuits.
Accommodation is not suitable for 3 adults. The photo on the web page is misleading. There is 1 double bed and 1 single bed in the room which serves as a living room and kitchen. I clearly said we are 3 adults on the application form. There is no privacy involved. People are clearly desperate to make money. The place can only work for singles and couples. Suitable for overnight stay. Definitely not for longer periods. I really hate misleading photos. Travelers. Be on your guard.
