61 guests' feedbackCalm, neat, clean, strong WiFi. Erik is an amazing host. Yummy breakfast was included.
We were very surprised with the little gem in the Karoo. Beautiful view, and appreciated the silence. Erik did a nice barbecue for us that evening and even served us dessert. The place to stay was wonderfully cool and very tidy. I would definitely recommend the place and will visit again. Thank you Family of 4.
It's a lovely place to stay. You can have dinner there. It's top notch. It's just damn hot, but luckily there are air conditioners. But now in the summer, where is it not hot.
Always great to visit Gannabos. As always, host Erik received us warmly and looked after us - nice barbecue with excellent side dishes for a very reasonable price. The location is beautiful with vistas over the plain where farm animals and game goats graze all day in front of the cottages. Rooms are spotless and excellently equipped. The common meeting area is cozy with a very nice atmosphere. Would definitely recommend Gannabos.
Stayed here for one night on the way down to the coast. Would have loved to stay a week. Very peaceful and excellent service from Erik.
Would most definitely recommend Gannabos Guest House. Our host Erik welcomed us and made us feel comfortable, he prepared the most delicious breakfast and dinner, the Melktert was out of this world (wish I had gotten the recipe before leaving). The cottage was spotlessly clean, and the comfortable bed was much appreciated after the long trip. Will most definitely stay over again.
Great service, delicious food.
Great place for some bun loosening.
Erik is an excellent host. We couldn't ask for a nicer birthday treat. Nothing was too much trouble and we were able to relax wonderfully. We will be able to go back to Gannabos at any time. It's a must!
What an experience! It's really a very nice guest house and our host, Erik, ensured an unforgettable time. The food was top notch. We still can't stop talking about the delicious feast. We couldn't have asked for a cleaner, quieter, more beautiful place. Next time we will stay longer. We also then bring the binoculars because those plains around the guest house are a treat for the eyes. It will also take a long time before I forget about the beautiful stars we saw here. Thanks again for all the effort and all the delicious food, Erik!
Nothing better than this farm to enjoy a well-deserved break. We were very well received and made comfortable. Thanks Eric! Everything was in place and we were really well looked after. Never once had to ask for the next thing. Was so comfortable to have a particularly nice time next to the campfire and the whole braai meal appeared like a magic story from the top shelves. We will have to visit again.
Excellent service from host and workers, hospitable, clean, tasteful and comfortable overnight stay, delicious food, beautiful surroundings.
We really enjoyed our stay, beautiful place, and Erik is just awesome!
We had a good time and ate. We come to visit again.
Erik was a great host and immediately made me feel welcome. It was very comfortable and rested well.
Erik is an excellent host and ensures that guests feel right at home!
The host's hospitality is second to none! We immediately felt at home and relaxed after the long drive. It's food and accommodation were fantastic!
Our second time at the incredible guest farm! Erik, the manager, is a wonderful host!
The host really went out of his way to make our stay special. Cooked the best lamb bredie.
Beautiful guest house and the host, Erik, was fantastic! Perfect location between Johannesburg and the Cape.
Erik is an amazing host and people person. Went out of his way to cook for us deliciously even on New Year's Eve and serve everything beautifully. It was truly special to end the last day of 2019 like this.
Great place and will go back in the near future.
The stay at Gannabos was really great. The accommodation is very nice and the hospitality of the host is great. Would gladly recommend Gannabos to other travellers.
Lovely place with the most beautiful sunrise! The kitchen is a bit neat but luckily you don't have to cook yourself, because the guest house provides delicious dinners and breakfasts. Very convenient overnight stop when driving from the Cape to Gauteng. Slightly off the main trail, but the tranquility makes it worth it.
I was pleasantly surprised with Gannabos. It started to rain when I stopped there. There is nothing better to me than the smell of soil and rain. Make it part of your journey to kick out your shoes and find yourself again. The room is very neat. All furniture is made with sleeper wood and the dining room has a large fireplace where it is made into a fire and you can spend time with your fellow travellers. Erik also makes the most delicious food for you and nothing is too much trouble for him. I really want to come back and spend more time.
Staying overnight at Gannabos was such a treat. Erik was the best host. Chalets were clean, tidy and very comfortable. Will definitely make a stop there again.
Nature special and unique! Houses neat and well maintained! Host's hospitality and service and friendliness excellent. Food was well prepared and tasty. We were pleasantly surprised!
It was something special. The place to sleep was clean and tidy. The manager went out of his way to make everything enjoyable. The food was delicious. It is value for your money and food for your soul. Definitely recommend this place.
See rating.
Erik, our host, received us very kindly and we felt right at home. The food was delicious and the accommodation beautiful, clean and comfortable. We were very sorry that we could not stay longer and will definitely come back to sleep and rest there.
Good, friendly service.
The driver is very pleasant and has an eye for the little things. Very nice and will definitely go again. The refreshments are not excessive.
Gannabos en its people offered the perfect getaway from the busy city life. Beautiful area with friendly, excellent service.
The peace and quiet and the view is breathtaking, the welcoming is incredibly friendly and the food excellent.
Neat good location with pleasant driver and food. Close to major routes.
It was very peaceful and nice, very good and beautiful, would like to go again but for longer!
Hidden Gem in the heart of the Karoo.
Desmarie received us very kindly. We had a wonderful stay. Accommodation is beautiful, neat and creative.
Reception was fantastic, with the best hospitality ever received, food was beyond delicious and more than enough.
Warmly welcomed. Good service.
Stay was very nice. Feel very welcome and love the farm atmosphere with style. Was very satisfied and would recommend the stay.
Very peaceful stay and Desmarie was a fantastic hostess.
Neat farmhouse that has been tastefully redone with everything you need, close to the tarmac.
Thank you very much for the wonderful stay, we really enjoyed it. Nice location and friendly people. A lot of wildlife near the chalet. Will definitely revisit.
What a surprise to be able to spend so close to nature, we really enjoyed it. Many thanks to Desmarie for her hospitality and help. We forgot a wallet there and the staff located it for us and stored it until we could stop there again on our way back from our vacation. You are a special group of people who appreciate honesty!
It's beautifully decorated, but if it's as unbearably hot as it was last weekend, there should at least be a fan, especially for the evenings?
The unit was well equipped, and the host was friendly and helpful.
Well located close to the thoroughfare between Steynsburg and Venterstad. We were well received and felt at home. Desmarie is an excellent hostess.
Would recommend that they purchase air conditioning. A good night's rest after a long day on the road, a cool room will be very accommodating, especially in the summer months.
Perfect overnight accommodation to break up a long drive. Clean, comfortable and peaceful.
Desmarie and her team made us feel very much at home! Neat clean rooms! Our barbecue packs and side dishes were also already ready for barbecue, all very tasty! Will visit again!
See stars.
Desmari made an effort to make us feel at home and welcome. The tranquility, special landscape and antelopes are a treat for the soul. Thank you very much!
Desmari is doing great!
As a nature lover, the surrounding plants and stones are very beautiful. Gannabos brought the two together beautifully and the stay was extremely pleasant.
Only problem was that there was no clear Gannabos Signage and they did not send us the gate code.
Our reception was warm and welcoming. The living environment fantastic - private sleeping facilities and central dining and relaxation area, with all services imaginable available. Nice farm setting with game on the horizon. Beautiful surroundings. Rest for the soul.
We are a family of four with two toddlers. Gannabos met all our needs for an overnight destination. Room was very nice, even luxurious. Desmarie is a very friendly and excellent hostess. Dinner and breakfast were excellent and would recommend to anyone.
Loved it. Would consider it for a breakaway from the buzz.
Beautiful scenery and silence. Very neat, clean house with delicious braai facilities.
Friendly people.
