77 guests' feedbackIt has always been a dream to visit Merweville. Thank you very much, Brian, for the reception and kindness. We had a great stay and will definitely come back to say hello.
Clean and tidy and friendly service - cement floors are only cold in winter!
We really enjoyed our stay at Die Ou Winkeltjie. Brian gave us a warm welcome. Everything was clean and tidy and provided everything needed in the kitchen. We bought delicious warm toasted cake around the corner for breakfast. The restaurant has already closed at 16:00, so make sure to be ready to provide dinner yourself.
We had a very nice stay.
Fantastic stay. This is an absolute must for the full Merweville experience!
Brian received us very kindly. It's a cute apartment and well equipped. We slept very well and would have liked to visit longer.
We had a wonderful stay at Die Ou Winkeltjie. Very neat. Will definitely stay there again.
Everything was 100%. The host was friendly, helpful and very professional. Although on the same plot as the owner, we had a great barbecue in privacy and thoroughly enjoyed the small town's atmosphere.
Had a great time in Merweville. Beautiful village with very, very friendly people.
We were kindly received by Brian, the host. The cottage is well furnished. Brian brought us a 'flask' of boiling water for coffee the next morning when there was a power cut.
Merweville is the cutest village! We had a great time staying in the Old Shop and will definitely spend the night there again.
Quiet and close to everything. You can walk in summer and explore the town.
Silence, peace and quiet.
The Old Shop is neat, clean and modern and ideal to switch off a day or two in Merweville's silence.
Very nice stay. The heat was quite bad and the mosquitoes ate us up. Village is amazing.
The host was friendly and received us kindly. The messages via WhatsApp made us feel like we were intruding on their privacy.
However, Brain was very helpful and friendly. Merweville exceeded my wildest expectations.
Short a review of whether or not there is an indoor fireplace.
The community was friendly, it seems to me everyone knows everyone. Our host was very friendly and helpful.
Had a friendly reception, beautiful place to stay, slept great, it was really nice to spend the night there in a friendly hospitable town.
Merweville is definitely a must for everyone to visit.
The house is nice and clean. Would have liked a TV checked in on a Saturday. All the places to eat closed in 2 hours, drove around, looked at everything but other than that there really wasn't much to do. Other than that we had a nice stay.
We were 100% satisfied with Die Ou Winkeltjie.
Clean and tidy. Host is very friendly and helpful. Will definitely go again. Had a great time. Had to force but host provided a bottle of boiling water for coffee in the morning which we really appreciated.
The place is very nice and was just what I needed.
Place is clean and tidy. Beautiful piece. Was a wonderful experience.
A lovely cottage with everything that you need. No TV watching though, but why would you want to do that when you have the most glorious sunsets to enjoy.
It was very nice and Brain is a good host!
Friendly host. Beautiful Karoo village.
Clean and tidy. Little privacy with wire fence on the road and front door that opens onto the road.
There are however enough mosquitoes but we were prepared for them. The bedroom was also equipped with a mosquito net over the bed.
Wonderful atmosphere.
Merweville did not disappoint. It was a wonderful experience.
See stars.
Peaceful accommodation in the Karoo, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Had a nice stay, everything was clean and the bed was comfortable. There's no WiFi, but "who cares".
It was very nice. The host was very friendly. The place was neat and clean. Will visit again for sure!
The cottage meets all your necessary needs. Cute furnished with all amenities. Bonus is the tub and shower. Host very friendly.
The owner quickly made us feel welcome. The house is clean, tidy and well equipped.
The accommodation is excellent. Building beautifully furnished and well located. Service was very hospitable and friendly and the town and surroundings something special. Will definitely check in there again if we turn that way.
Stay that enriches our memories. Brian is a fantastic host, the cottage was perfectly appointed and has a lovely ambience!
Had a wonderful stay. Centrally located, nice to walk around. Looking forward to our next visit there.
There is no WiFi, so make the necessary arrangements. There is no desk in the room, but the kitchen has a nice table and counter top. The counter top is also close to a power point and nice to work on. There are braai facilities and it's very nice to braai on a fresh Karoo evening. Would have liked if the kitchen door was a barn door type so we could leave the top door open. I would stay there again anytime. Beautiful and tidy and Brian is an excellent host.
Beautiful village, definitely going to visit again.
The house is spacious, clean and tidy. Well equipped and is better than description on website. Will definitely stay there again and again.
Very nice and the town's people so friendly.
A little too much area noise.
Delicious, beautiful and bitterly comfortable!
Had a great atmosphere and nice barbecue place.
Will only make the following recommendations: Dtv. Porch area on which you can sit in the evening and morning. Mosquito nets or mosquito spray, had a load of mosquitoes in the evening.
The place is well equipped and the host immediately made us feel at home.
Brian received us very kindly and made us feel at home. Questions I had before our arrival were answered in minutes. The fans help against the Karoo summer, but air conditioning would be a bonus.
Now that's a place that stole my heart, not to mention the location!
The owner gave valuable information about town.
It was a nice stopover for our trip on the way to Cape Town. We had a nice time with the people in Merweville.
The accommodation is centrally located. The owner was very helpful with information i. f. m. cute places to eat.
Really down to earth, decent and nice accommodation in Merweville. The Old Shop will see us again for sure.
Tranquility was an experience. Cleanliness of the village was impressive.
The host was very accommodating after there was an initial mistake with the date of booking. Thank you very much!
Had a great time and grilled. Brian is a wonderful host. Cottage is clean and comfortable. Will definitely recommend.
It was a wonderful stay. The owner made us feel so comfortable. Will stay there again for sure.
Brian was very friendly and helpful. Accommodation was excellent, neat and clean. House nicely centrally located to explore Merweville on foot. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone without a doubt. Will definitely go again next year for Thanksgiving.
Very neat. Brian was very helpful and the place is lovely and clean.
Host Brian is a true gentleman and has taken care of every little detail in this special self-catering cottage. Highly recommended.
It was a very neat apartment and Brian was very friendly.
We had a great stay at Die Ou Winkeltjie. It is very neat inside and out. It was so nice and peaceful and Brian really made us feel at home. Would definitely stay for longer!
A tastefully furnished stay with a helpful and charming host! Thank you very much Brian.

I had never been to Merweville before and so I had no preconceived ideas or expectations of either the town or accommodation. I was very pleasantly surprised on both counts. There is not a lot to see or do but for me it’s part of the charm of a small Karoo town. There are no bright lights or restaurants so bring what you need and enjoy the ambiance. My accommodation was just perfect for my needs and is an ideal stay for a couple. The bedroom and bathroom with a bath and a shower was great and a well appointed kitchen just begs you to self cater.
The house is quite spacious and very tidy. The bed is comfortable and the bathroom clean and well planned. We will definitely stay here again if we stay overnight in Merweville again.

We had a great stay at Die Ou Winkeltjie in Merweville. This has been my 3rd visit to Merweville, but my first stay at Ou Winkeltjie. Brian was very kind and helpful. The accommodation was excellent, neat and clean. The house had all the necessary facilities. All that the house needed were braai tongs and a light at the braai.
This old building has just been restored. It is very comfortable and I found the bed wonderfully comfortable. The furniture and facilities are excellent. Brian was very friendly and helpful. I would only advise that another lamp and another carpet be installed in the living room. No TV or DStv, but I enjoyed the silence.
Merwewille was a pleasant surprise. The unit has everything needed. Maybe a mirror by a power point to blow dry hair would be good. It was very hot and the mosquitoes almost carried us away, but the beautiful surroundings make you forget about it. Brian shares valuable information and experiences us a.g.v. of which a beautiful sunset and a breathtaking full moon above from the mountain. Thanks Brian, it's forever in our memory.
Beautiful, beautiful accommodation with a hospitable host.
If you want to go to Merweville to relax and do your own thing, this is the right place. Very affordable with everything you need and very tidy. The host, Brian, is very friendly and gets along well with almost anyone. I would without a doubt recommend Die Ou Winkeltjie to anyone who wants to visit Merweville. We will definitely return here again.
