Any traveler looking for overnight accommodation between Cape Town and Johannesburg need look no further. Puzzles offer everything.
We had a very nice stay. My husband was unwell and our hostess was fantastic - so thoughtful and helpful.
Delicious, everything you need after a long day on the road.
Very nice stay in a neat room.
Yes, very nice and peaceful.
Silver clean room. Nice shower and bathroom. Swimming pool was a refreshing experience. Hostess friendly and very helpful.
Silver clean, comfortable bed. Nice shower and bathroom. All that one needs to make coffee and tea. Small fridge to refreeze and chill everything. Nice view from the front porch.
Good location, everything needed for a comfortable overnight destination.
Very friendly hostesses, very helpful, super neat, and nice and spacious rooms. Bathroom large, modern and spotless. Nice big braai room by the kitchen and pool. Nice biscuit for coffee and cookie for puppies. Nice fresh bed. Thank you from the Fishermen. Charlie.
Beautifully clean and very well furnished. Quiet and safe.
Perfect stopover place. Neat spacious rooms, clean with very comfortable beds. Braai place and kitchen are well equipped to be able to make your own food with a nice view. Highly recommend.
We travel a lot and sleep over in many places. Puzzles ranks among the top 3 of all places to stay in SA. The attention to detail takes your breath away. Service is excellent. You get the best of everything, and there are little treats everywhere that you don't expect. People looking for a view of the dam miss out. The Karoo landscape is much more beautiful. And nothing spoils the silence and atmosphere at the pool and barbecue at sunset. This place is really perfect! We stayed 3 nights, and didn't want to leave!
Would love to stay here again, friendly reception and very neat place, thank you very much for the two evenings, blessings to you, very nice biltong.
We only stayed one night at Puzzles, this accommodation is one of the best guesthouses/self-catering units I have visited in a very long time. The room with everything was excellent, coffee, biscuits, fresh milk, a bottle of cold water in the fridge. The barbecue equipment is top notch. I would definitely stay there again.
Thank you for a pleasant and comfortable stay.
Cleanliness, friendliness and everything we need.
This is the most beautiful spot on the mountain, the best hospitality and best value for money. Thanks to Wallie for parking my car and trailer, and my overnight bag etc. headed up to my room. Most beautiful room and bathroom ever. Clean tidy and value for money. I would stay with them again. Thank you very much.
Friendly and helpful hostess.

The room and beds were very comfortable. Fresh linen and a clean, tidy bathroom were most welcome. Everything one needs for an overnight facility was available. Will visit Puzzles again.
Very satisfied with the stay.
Would definitely recommend.
I will definitely be marketing Puzzles to all my friends.
We booked two rooms next to each other and also used the braai room for dinner even though we didn't braai. Everything is there. A lot of attention has been paid to detail and you feel welcome and at home.
Room is very large, comfortable, clean and tidy with everything you need. Would have preferred some view, but for just a place to sleep it's ideal.
We have in no. 1 left. Everything was clean and tidy and the shower was a pleasure to use with all the adjustments. There is a nice swimming pool to cool off and a communal barbecue area to grill some meat while you swim. We were very impressed and will definitely stay there again.
The rooms were exceptionally clean and tidy. Very welcoming, and our 2 fur kids were even given their own welcome treats. The rooms had everything you would ever need, even a container with crockery, cutlery, tablecloth and serviettes, and cleaning stuff. The upper-level pool and grassed area was great for the dogs too. A perfect mid-way stop if you are on your way down to or coming back from the Garden Route or the Cape. Will definitely book again.
Nice, clean and neatly furnished room, beautiful bathroom. Experience safe parking and friendly reception. Diagonal way to get luggage in room, but very convenient.
Pleasant stay with very friendly helpful hosts.
They accommodated us when we arrived late and also left with us. My little dogs were also very happy with the setup.
Place good, as far as I could see not safe for people who are disabled, e.g. riding seat, walking frame.
Rooms are spacious and very tidy with everything you need.
Very comfortable, accommodating and animal friendly. Enjoyed the stay, however our time was limited to an overnight only as we were travelling with our 2 cats.
The perfect place to stop for the night.
Such friendly hosts. The room we stayed in was beautifully clean. Very nice beds. Fantastic views of the valley. Coffee, tea and milk. Water in the fridge. Delicious rusks. Will recommend it any day and will go there again.
Very neat and well-equipped overnight accommodation. Owners friendly and helpful. They especially informed us about the load shedding in time and we really appreciated that. Will definitely stay there again.
Very pleasant thank you. Ideal for overnight stops.

Walks the extra mile, fresh milk and rusks. Great treat.
Very neat, clean and affordable overnight or multi-night accommodation in Gariep. Furnished with all the necessary crockery and equipment for self-catering accommodation, DStv, air conditioning, roof fan and secure parking. The bathroom with bath and shower and an on-site swimming pool for those warmer days. Well done Puzzles, I will use you again.
Very neat and comfortable room. Large bathroom with lovely shower and bath. Centrally located near dam and attractions.
See stars.
Would recommend the above guest house anytime. Is affordable and value for money. All facilities worked 100% and our stay there was perfect.
I would definitely recommend the guest house.
Guesthouse very central in the Gariep area with everything needed for the traveller/vacationer and secure parking on site.
Fresh bedding and spotless and well equipped accommodation. True oasis after a long journey. Michelle is a stunning hostess. They made us a picnic basket one can only dream of. Recommend this place to anyone. Puzzles will not disappoint. Go and see for yourself.
Beautiful clean and tidy accommodation, lovely beds with everything you need. Very pleased with the safe parking for our car with a trailer. We were very kindly welcomed, we were even able to check in before the indicated time.
The hostess is extremely helpful, competent and friendly. She has thought of everything and so the accommodation is fully equipped. You will not lack anything and she is only a phone call away if you need anything or if you want to know something. It is remarkably clean and tidy and you can be assured of a great night's rest. I would not hesitate to ever stay there again. Thank you very much!
Excellent thank you. Nice stay.
We'll definitely stay here again. Bedroom and bathroom is new, well equipped, very clean and neat. Friendly received by the owner. A pleasant experience after a long trip.
Easy to find, very friendly staff, spotless and tidy room and bathroom, equipped with everything needed for an overnight stay. Thank you very much.
Everything needed for a good night's rest. Comfortable, clean and bedding very fresh. When the lookout deck is done, it will be a great place to relax with a beautiful view. They'll see me again.
The unit was very neat and the bedding fresh and the unit well equipped for self-catering. If the roof patio and braai area is done, the unit can definitely serve as a base to explore the Gariep and surrounding areas from.
Very neat, clean, well-maintained accommodation. Style footpath to entrance. Secure parking. Attentive owner - she even met and escorted us to the address as it is hard to find.
Clean and neat — everything you need.
