124 guests' feedbackLovely, clean and comfortable unit.
Was absolutely off the books.
Neat, safe. Everything we needed, coffee, tea, milk and biscuits.
Very nice stay! Amenities were to a high standard. The shower in the bathroom was quite a challenge to get the right temperature, but other than that it was great. I can definitely recommend this accommodation.
Very nice stay, everything was 200% of what I expected, will stay there again.
We had a great stay!
Painfully neat. Extremely peaceful. With everything (and more) for a wonderful sleepover. Highly recommended.
Very neat and clean!
I enjoyed my one-night stay in this well-furnished two-room unit. Attentive and very helpful owner.
It was delicious. Very tidy and everything you need if you want to sleep over on your way to the Cape.
Our stay was very pleasant. Our reception by our host was awesome. I would strongly recommend them to any traveller.
Everything was fantastic.
Very nice stay. Quiet and peaceful.
Accommodation was neat and clean. Special attention was paid to small things that made the stay pleasant and comfortable.
We were booked at another resort, but due to a bad storm they couldn't accommodate us. Little Haven helped us at short notice and the service was great.
Absolutely! Was an excellent choice. Loretta, brilliant hostess, made us feel so at home and welcome.
Loretta was amazing. We had a warm and friendly welcome. Perfect mid-stop, even with our little 5-year-old. We felt very safe, slept well and very clean.
Very hospitable and very clean and tidy place.
We stayed over for a second time based on our first excellent experience. Thanks, Loretta. We loved your place.
Little Haven is by far the most comfortable, best equipped self-catering unit I have come across so far in all these years. The owners are very friendly and helpful and the unit has an endless list of extras that are often lacking in other self-catering units that are advertised at much more expensive rates. This unit can serve as an example and example for other self-catering owners. This is definitely becoming one of my most favorite accommodation options!
Very neat, everything in place.
Great hostess, cleverly laid out accommodation which makes it so convenient for guests. Lovely braai facilities, a peaceful private garden to sit and have a sundowner. Comfortable bed with luxurious linen. I would recommend this any day with peace of mind that no one will be disappointed! Great value for money and safe parking.
Lovely, safe, tidy and clean overnight stay. Beautiful detail and excellent facilities. Air conditioning for the summer is a further bonus. The only negative is that there is no TV, but the excellent WiFi makes it possible for "streaming". Will definitely stay there again and can recommend Little Haven.
Ideal overnight option. Everything is well-maintained and kept very clean and tidy. Thank you Loretta for everything. I will definitely use your facility again in the future. Marcel.
Very neat. Good bed. Will definitely stay there again.
Little Haven was perfect for our stay-over trip. Every little detail to make one's trip a bit easier and more comfortable was clearly thought out. I would definitely stay over there again.
Very clean and nice and tidy and private and separate from the house. Met all our needs. Very safe for our animals with a nice spacious garden for them. Friendly owners and good communication beforehand. Felt very safe. Delicious meal at eatery (Tjailatyd) in town. Will definitely use again.
Loretta was very hospitable and my stay was super comfortable. Spotlessly clean too! Thank you. Little Haven ticked all the boxes, convenient stopover, friendly hostess and comfy and clean. Thank you, hope to return in the near future.
My daughter and I had a wonderful stay. We only arrived late, but were kindly received! Our electric blankets were already switched on and everything was perfect for a great night's rest. Thank you very much again!
Loved this venue for our overnight stay. Little Haven is very comfortable, it has a lovely big bedroom with ample space and a separate bathroom and lounge area. There is a fridge and a microwave, as well as coffee and tea facilities. There is place at a little table in the lounge area for you to enjoy a meal or a cup of coffee/tea. The bedding is crisp and clean and the towels are big, fluffy and soft. There is ample hot water for a lovely shower after a long day on the road. Very clean and well maintained. There is secure parking with ample space for a trailer.
Spotlessly clean accommodation with a comfy bed for a good night's rest and lounge area for self catering/heating, coffee/tea provided and fridge. Totally off the grid, not affected by loadshedding - the ceiling fan was great to cool down the room.
Loretta, the owner, is very friendly. Will stay there again if we need to sleep over.
A TV would be a nice addition, or else WiFi as its great to watch a movie before going to bed.
Perfectly located and furnished. Solar makes you forget that load shedding exists. Absolutely spotless, quiet area and secure parking. Can stretch out and relax!
Wow, what a beautiful place. It is very spacious with air conditioning and roof fan. No power cuts, clean, tidy. No effort spared, we stayed and slept well and will definitely use them again.
Friendly welcome and extremely neat overnight stay. The room was very well furnished, nicely decorated and nice and quiet.
For us it was the ideal place to stay on a trip.
Would stay there again anytime. One suggestion is to perhaps offer an honesty bar.
Friendly service and welcome.
Hostess is extremely helpful and was able to provide us with the necessary information regarding attractions. Unit is very well equipped, even cold bottled water was available. Provision has also been made for mosquito repellents.
Little Haven was very clean and comfortable. Beautiful, neat and cosy furnishings. Will not hesitate to return. Hosts are very friendly and hospitable.
Friendly reception and even milk and water in the fridge. Was very grateful for the air conditioning! Very neat.
We were kindly received, the garden is beautiful and the place was tidy. Great stay, Gariepdam's dam wall was impressive and a good trip after a long day on the road.
It was wonderful to be able to make tea as we walked in after a long trip, everything was provided. The bedding and gas heater made our stay warm and comfortable on a cold winter night.
Will definitely use again.
"Self-catering" is very misleading. No utensils, no kitchen, only small microwave and bar fridge. Not even a deep freeze partition nor a sink to wash dishes. Thanks to our host for putting our food in her deep freeze.
Absolutely fantastic facility. Helpful and very neat and clean.
Would have loved to spend a few more nights.
Apartment is fully fenced for dogs, is completely solar dependent, clean, tidy and comfortable. My favorite overnight stop so far!
Loretta was a fantastic hostess. Her kindness and hospitality is amazing. The unit was well equipped, very clean and tidy - we had everything we needed. Our stay was comfortable and we would definitely highly recommend Little Haven.
Very neat, nicely furnished with solar. Very nice for your pet. Nice quiet area.
Friendly reception and accommodation neat, clean and comfortable. Will use it again in the future.
Extremely clean, tidy, friendly and attentive to detail and guests' comfort.
Lorette called us in advance to confirm that she would be available whenever we checked in, and wished us a safe trip. Upon arrival, we were very kindly received and shown the apartment, whereupon we packed up and she offered that we may even use some of her braai wood. The apartment is well equipped with a firm bed and everything needed for an overnight stay.
Little Haven was easy to reach and Loretta gave us a friendly welcome. There was also no power cut as the guest house is equipped for "load shedding". Accommodation was spacious and tidy.
I can recommend Little Haven for overnight stays or even for tourists who want to stay at Gariep Dam for a few days. Everything was as per website and Loretta is an excellent hostess. Little Haven was neat and clean and I could sleep wonderfully. Coffee with biscuits was delicious the next morning and also the extra Chai tea.
Loretta made us feel incredibly welcome and the room was very well equipped for our overnight stay. All the little extras Loretta provided in the room were well thought out and appreciated. Would highly recommend.
Accommodation completely met our needs as an overnight stay. Owner was particularly nice.
Calm atmosphere. Friendly people. Well located.
It is a beautiful, peaceful place. Friendly reception. Secure parking.
Apart from Lorette's hospitality, the accommodation is comfortable, clean and tidy. The bed sleeps comfortably. The braai grills well. The shower showers nicely. Even the hair dryer blows nicely!
Everything we needed, high quality, spotless and top quality hospitality. We would love to stay here again.
My mother and I slept over and the lounge area has a separate single bed. The hostess put a heater on for us before we arrived and the apartment was nice and cozy when we walked in from the cold.
Will make use of this facility again.
Of the hundreds of strange beds we've slept in during our travels, this one ranks among the top 5 best! Incredibly clean and tidy, and peaceful, private accommodation. We would definitely stay here again and can recommend it to tired travelers who just want to relax and rest from the long road. The rooms are well laid out and have all the necessary details.
We arrived late and the lady assisted us by preparing a meal for our 6 year old daughter with no extra effort. She made us feel at home and the place is amazing. Beautiful and clean. We felt right at home. The owner did more than expected and the hospitality was great. Its worth it, and I will recommend it anytime.
Room tasteful and spotless with friendly service.
Mrs Thomas made us feel like family. We really enjoyed our time there. Basic and cozy but functional and tastefully done. She even put the warm blankets on for us ahead of time, so we slept nice and cozy. The unit, garden and premises are neat, clean and well looked after. There is peace and tranquility that reigns there. We will definitely spend the night there again, should the chance arise.
Little Haven is very neat and above expectation clean. Everything works fine. It's very comfortable and well located. It's ideally located between Gauteng and the Cape, just off the N1. We were able to braai with great braai facilities. We were very kindly received by the owner and it was a pleasure to stay at Little Haven.
They went out of their way to make us feel at home. Even treated us to ice cream pie.
Joretta can be proud of her accommodation. Really extremely neat. Extremely fair rate for what you get there. We will certainly look no further if we want to spend the night at Gariepdam again. Congratulations kind hostess.
Was warmly received and our hostess was very friendly and helpful.
Lynette really goes out of her way to make her guests feel at home. We really appreciated the milk and bottled water in the fridge.
Our host were very supportive and professional. The unit was lovely, clean, comfortable and quiet. We were able to enjoy a wonderful nights rest after a full day on the road. This is a lovely place to overnight.
Really cute. Owner has put a lot of effort into making it comfortable and friendly.
Very hospitable, nice and tidy. Would be happy to recommend it. Thank you.
Between Cape Town and Pretoria, my father and I chose Little Haven as an overnight stop. The accommodation was very neat and clean and we were received kindly. Both of us had a good rest between clean sheets and bedding. Would definitely recommend Little Haven.
We wanted to find a cosy and affordable spot to stop over on our travels. This stay was that and more. We were able to make special arrangements to have our dog with us, and the owner of the property was more than happy to accommodate this. The cottage is lovely, it has everything we needed. It is much better than the photos show, and the garden is beautiful. Thank you so much to Loretta for giving us the perfect place to rest during our travels. We will be back.
Nice night spent. Very welcoming thank you very much.
We were able to park safely inside the yard. The hostess was friendly with advice on where to eat well. Very small town. Ideal overnight place on the way to the Cape.
Great and value for money. Very friendly welcome and excellent service.
Loret stays in touch on the way and back. Good hostess.
Excellent value for money with top notch friendly service.
Was a very neat and convenient stop over, was warmly greated and made to feel welcome. We were only there for 1 night but there was everything we needed.
Biggest plus is that loadshedding is not a factor, the place is totally dependent on solar power. Had power during loadshedding. There is a braai available. Very nice stay. Thank you Loretta.
Very neat and safe. The hostess is very friendly and made a lot of effort to make us feel at home. Will definitely stay there again if the opportunity arises.
When you drive you usually need fridge and freezer space for food.
Neat place. Not by the water.
We were kindly welcomed at Little Haven. Everything was clean and tidy. Its location makes it an ideal overnight facility on the way to the Cape.
We just stopped at Little Haven as an overnight stop on the way home. Once there, everything was fine. We asked for places to eat and they recommended quite a few which we were grateful for. Clean, tidy, friendly. Would definitely recommend.
Shower's water either very hot or cold. Shower water regulation by tap and pressure was difficult. Would recommend a small sink with hot and cold water point inside where kettle is and TV.
It was a perfect stopover between the Western Cape and Gauteng. Our labrador really appreciated the large yard with grass after a long day on the road. The bed is particularly comfortable and ideal for someone who needs a good night's rest who spends long hours on the road.
Very friendly reception; very neat and peaceful guest house. Ideal for rest after a day's travel between busy traffic.
We had a wonderful stay. Can definitely recommend the place.
We say many thanks to Loretta for the way she received us. She treated us extremely professionally from the start. Upon arrival we were greeted with the friendliest face and felt at home and chatted as if we were old friends. Little Haven is extremely stylish and beautiful and we had so much fun visiting and spending the night there. Will definitely go there again and recommend anyone to go too. Thanks again.
Friendly hostess. Beautiful accommodation with luxurious bedding on a comfortable bed. Perfect for an overnight after a long drive.
Warm welcome by hosts! Very comfortable with everything available for a perfect stay over. Have recommended it to my friends and family.
We were looking for overnight accommodation and this little gem was exactly what we needed. There was plenty of parking for our car and trailer and the room was spacious with a lovely en-suite bathroom. There is also a lounge with a fridge and microwave. The complimentary rusk was delicious with our morning coffee. I can definitely recommend people to stay at Little Haven, you will not be disappointed!
Everything as expected. Very cute and delicious. I will definitely stay over again.
We are very friendly and "what you see, is what you get"! Everything was very clean and tidy and all the basic necessities for a lovely visit and overnight stay are there. It seems to me one can even braai, if you want!
Very friendly welcome, clean, tidy and would stay there again anytime!
Please try Little Haven. After a long journey it was a nice surprise to spend the night here. There is everything you might need, the decor is beautiful and tasteful and everything is of very good quality. That hostess was so friendly and helpful. It's wonderfully quiet there and you can't hear the traffic on the main road. And it's so close to the Gariep Dam that I could go and see the dam the next morning without losing travel time. I would definitely use it again and happily recommend it.
Secure parking (behind locking gate) with a private detached apartment, BBQ facilities on the back porch. Extremely neat and clean, can definitely recommend it.
I can really recommend Little Haven. The owners are warm and hospitable. The unit has everything you need and more and everything is of good quality. Very neat and clean. Excellent value for money. There is also secure parking. It's the perfect place to relax after a long journey.
Owner was very helpful and patient.
We were delighted to discover this little gem of an accommodation. Beautifully appointed, clean and comfortable it was perfect for our overnight stop. We booked with only an hours notice and received a prompt response. Electric blankets were switched on in advance which was a lovely touch on a cold winters night. Clearly much thought has gone into kitting out the room. I would definitely book again.
The places are very clean and tidy and a lot of effort has been made to make them as comfortable as possible.
Host and wife were very pleasant.
My stay at Little Haven was fantastic, the people are friendly and the accommodation area was spotless and spacious. Very good value for money!
Little Haven is the best value for money, will definitely be my first choice accommodation if needed to stay again.
Very well welcomed and greeted. Nicely looked after us. The whole town was without power but the tanie still provided us with hot water for nice coffee before our journey. The accommodation and surrounding areas are immaculately clean! Including the garden and braai area. Had a great stay and slept very well! We have a 15 month old baby - was comfortable with her too.
Great convenience and easy to find.
A very pleasant stop overnight on the way to Cape Town.
Short a TV or radio.
The room is well equipped with tasteful decor and good quality linen. The hostess received us warmly.
Washing bowl/washing dish would have been handy. Cup to fill kettle please. Furthermore, everything was beautifully clean and tidy, had a great stay.
Great stop over on route to PE. Friendly people with clean and comfortable facilities. My choice in the area.
The hostess received us very kindly. The place was very neat and you could see she had made an effort to make the place as comfortable as possible. We would definitely stay there again and would recommend the place with confidence.
Car could be parked safely, owners are friendly and good people. Very nice stay.
Very friendly and neat.
Satisfactory. A lot of effort has been put into creating a homely atmosphere. Feels a bit like a refurbished outdoor room but was sufficient for our purpose of just resting a bit.
Unit just a bit small. Would like room to open suitcases. A traveler would also like a TV in the room.
