97 guests' feedbackRest-A-While is the perfect overnight accommodation at a budget price. I have and will use their accommodation because it fits our needs.
Safe and convenient.
Susan and her team provided excellent service. Friendly and helpful. Value for money.
Ideal for an overnight stay after a long drive.
Quiet accommodation for the evening.
We enjoyed our stay because Rest-A-While met our need for a sleep over while en route through Victoria-West.
Felt safe and the room was neat, tidy, and we had a great "slaapie".
Nice and quiet.
We had a nice stay in the small town and the receptionist's friendliness and helpfulness immediately made us feel at home.
After a few hours of driving from Jhb it was a welcome relief to just relax and rest a bit before the journey onward.
We had a nice overnight stay there at Rest-A-While. Good to be able to drive again the next day.
We had a nice stay.
It was an overnight destination, served the purpose well.
We slept very well. The place has everything you need for 1 night's sleep. There is a fridge and microwave oven and a kettle with cups, but there are no plates or cutlery, so I wouldn't say it's really self-catering. The location is not ideal, especially if it is only women sleeping over. There are many street children hanging around the gate looking for things all the time; I realize this is beyond the guest house's control.
Room just ordinary, just one extra blanket for the double bed. Nothing for the single bed. At least there was an electric blanket, otherwise we got very cold.
Our room had blood stained bath towels. The shower had old plasters in it. The aircon never worked. The road gate had to be manually opened and its lock was difficult to open and close made even harder with multiple beggers from the road asking for money.
Friendly welcome, rooms were everything we needed.
It was excellent, thank you.
See stars.
Have no complaints and the location was perfect with restaurants within walking distance. Was a friendly and warm welcome.
Maybe close to the main road with trucks, but the place is very neat, hospitable and has air conditioning! It has everything one needs! There is a lovely restaurant diagonally opposite.
Neat room with everything you need.
Very good service and value for money. Parking right in front of the rooms.
Slept safe and sound. Just a pity the TV couldn't get us going. For old people, the small table with tea and coffee is a bit too low. Also, the pro points for cell phone chargers were low, they were on the ground.
We really enjoyed the way we were received and the service we experienced. We arrived late and still, we were not kept waiting or struggled to find our accommodation, due to impeccable service.
Tidy. Friendly service. Helpful.
Good choice if you just want to spend the night.
Ideal for a half way mark stopover for one night. Centrally located near a restaurant and supermarket.
Will definitely stay there again.
Family was on a well-deserved short holiday in Cape Calitzdorp and Oudshoorn. It was planned that we would sleep over and decided on Rest A While.
We had a nice stay. Slept peacefully, and there is everything you need. The receptionist is very hospitable, and you feel right at home. Will always stay there when we are on the road.
Welcoming reception.
Everything you need, thank you very much. Place is very well located and clean. Would definitely recommend it.
Room was clean and tidy.
No advance warning that there is no water during loadshedding. 10 liters of extra water is not enough for 4 people who all want to use the toilet after a long day's travel.
No need to get in your car and drive to a store. Within walking distance. Good roast, and good sleep. Friendly staff. Helpful. Would stay there again, recommended. Thank you.
Not fun for kids - just rooms. But convenient if you just want to sleep and drive early.
The place was clean and tidy. We were able to enjoy a good night's rest. The lady was also friendly and helpful.
Will stay there again. Comfortable, thanks for an aircon it helped a lot.
The service received was subpar to other places on the website we have stayed at. The room was not nice. There was no Wi-Fi and no security.
All the rooms were full with the result that there was no more hot water for showering. Otherwise slept well.
There was certainly noise from the trucks, but quickly fell asleep and was no longer a problem. We were received very kindly. The room was clean and tidy. Will definitely stop here again.
Nice clean and neat. We used it as an overnight stay from Cape ownT to Johannesburg. Friendly owners.
Next to a busy road and intersection. Walking distance to places to eat. Secure parking.
Was there about 3 years ago. Noticeably less satisfying. Devices not working. Wiring of fixtures unsatisfactory.
Our prepaid reservation was not on reception's list. Had to show email as proof. At least there was room.
Makes it very unsafe and unpleasant to just stick your nose out the door. Room clean and tidy but a little tired. The little place under the trees where you could sit and eat or barbecue is badly neglected and unusable. Wooden tables and benches broken and rotten. Renovation of this area is badly needed! For R180 pn more we could have spent the night across the road in a beautiful boutique guest house. With lovely garden, swimming pool and restaurant. Won't stare me down at price next time.
Value for money. Location good.
Stayed 1 night, was very pleasant, clean and tidy
Friendly reception and room was tidy and equipped with the necessary as advertised, will use this again in the future.
To close to the main road. Everything else was very good.
We will stay there again.
Very peaceful environment.
We booked two rooms (4 and 6). Room 4 was okay, but we were disappointed with room 6. The aircon did not work, the fridge was a cooler at best and the freeze compartment was not efficient. I tried contacting the on site manager, but lights out a 20:00 without response.
The rooms are very tidy, I was quite impressed, shower and bathroom tiled with modern tiles and fittings, didn't expect full DStv, but it was there.
Air con did not work, did not see the lady that checked us in again after checking in, so we could not report it.
Will sleep there again in the future as it is very clean and tidy.
See stars.
A comfortable stay and friendly service.
Friendly reception. Convenient, everything available for overnight accommodation.
The place is very basic but neat and clean. No bell to ring for service if you arrive late at night.
Thanks so so much.
Located next to a very busy highway in terms of trucks. Had to wait three quarters of an hour for our room keys due to circumstances beyond the control of the manager. Curtains are of poor quality, leave no privacy for guests, had to use the towels to create privacy inside the bathroom.
It is always very nice to be able to spend the night in the Karoo and we can recommend the place.
Room is comfortable and clean. Bathroom is spacious. We had coffee making facilities, a fridge and microwave. There were plenty of warm blankets, heater and air conditioning. The restaurant across the street is definitely worth a visit. Because the rest area is directly next to the main road, the noise of the large vehicles may disturb some guests' sleep. It didn't bother us. Reception was very friendly.
Very pleased with the accommodation and location of the place would really recommend for an overnight stay and also a good restaurant in town.
Very neat and clean. Beds good quality. Aircon works well.
The location is not very favorable. it is located on the main road between Cape Town and Johannesburg. The four-way stop at Rest-a-While is the transition of many trucks that rumble through the night. Otherwise definitely value for money.
The noise from the traffic was a bit annoying, but otherwise everything was neat and comfortable. The bed slept very well. We were not sure about safety but had no incident. Good value for money.
For one night's stay it is ideal. The price was very reasonable. There is parking with a lockable gate. It's close opposite the Merino restaurant, which serves the most delicious lamb. There is air conditioning, a warm blanket and heater. The fridge was very welcome and there was tea and coffee. However, the people who walked and begged in front of the restaurant shouted at each other a lot until the restaurant closed. It was very disturbing. Another problem is that Rest-A-While is located on the main street and trucks drive through town all night, past Rest-A-While.
Will stay there again when I travel there.
A few things: 1) the location of the accommodation is on a very busy street and therefore very noisy with trucks passing during the night; 2) I was not aware that I would have to open the gate and had to phone to find out how to enter the premises (the opening of the gate in itself is not a problem, but if one is not aware of this it is a bit of a problem particularly if most other places have automatic gates which open when you phone); 3) it is a self-catering place with fridge and microwave, but does not have crockery or cutlery (only mugs and glasses) - most other self catering places I have stayed in on my yearly travels from the Cape to Mpumalanga supply crockery and cutlery so that you can warm take-a-ways in the microwave and also have little packets of coffee for early morning
Old fashioned furniture, and bedding. Curtains dirty and untidy.
Definitely recommend Rest-While the booking service is excellent. They follow up to make sure you reach your destination.
I was surprised at the cleanliness of Rest-A-While would stay there again.
We just wanted a clean and quiet place to sleep on our way to our vacation destination, and that's what we got.
See stars.
The service was prompt and friendly. Our room was well equipped, neat, tidy and everything worked. Additionally, the premises are pet friendly. I will use Rest-A-While's facilities again. Thank you very much.
Very cute place and quiet.
They stayed in touch. They are extremely organized and welcoming. It was super clean and so comfortable. Our only complaint was that we had to get going early and only arrived at 19:00 the night before. We slept so well. Thank you!
Very nice place to stay on the way to Cape Town. We enjoyed the stay.
Dit was aangenaam om hier te kon bly vir drie dae. Ons sou egter net verlang dat daar afdakke moes wees vir ons voertuig om deur die dag onder te staan.
Very neat rooms. Hot water. Nice little fridge.
It had been a sudden decision for us to sleep over (was doing a "road trip" from Hotazel to Mossel Bay with my sister). Booked, paid deposit as we drove out of Upington. Easy booking, friendly service from the receptionist, clean room, everything you need for an overnight stay. Thank you very much!
Nice stay but the morning temperature of -4.5 degrees is a different experience.
See star rating.
The lady who received us was very friendly and helped us quickly. The bedding that is clean and tidy. The bathroom which is also clean and tidy. There were just no utensils like teaspoons to stir coffee. The most necessary was there.
If you're just looking for a bed to sleep in, then it's sufficient.
Surely the best value for money!
The room was neat and clean with the necessary facilities. The location was good for us, we just needed to stay over one night and leave again early the next morning. The shower didn't work though, which was inconvenient.
Basically everything a traveler needs. Nice clean, quiet, cool accommodation near Merino hotel for something to eat and drink.
We will drive past next time, and sleep in another village instead. The air conditioning in the room we slept in is so noisy that it sounds like the wind is going to blow you away, and that without making it very cold. The fan is not an option because you can't turn off the light. Then we come to the bathroom, be careful when you open the faucet, you might get soaked. We were not received terribly kindly either.
