240 guests' feedbackYes, the stay was nice. Very neat and clean, easily accessible and a nice farm atmosphere. Will definitely come here again.
The room was spacious, impeccably clean, and equipped with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was incredibly cosy, ensuring we got a good night's sleep after long days of exploring.
COMFORTABLE , TRAFFIC A BIT NOISY THOUGH.
The place is perfectly located for an overnight stop between Gauteng and the Cape. Everything was neat and the dinner was definitely worth it.
We had a great stay at Rondawel Guest Farm. It's very nice, the Rondawel was neat, it had everything we needed, and it's close to the road. The dinner was also very nice.
Excellent halfway stay on our road trip! Love being welcomed by the family dogs. We were very snug in our rondavel.
It was great. Very warm beds!
Very very nice surroundings and very good facilities. Very cozy. Had a very friendly reception. Will definitely stay again.
The facilities were very neat and well equipped for the cold! With a stopover after a long drive it was perfect. The food was also very tasty!
We have stayed at the accommodation a few times and it has been nice every time.
It was delicious. Ordered dinner and you grill your own meat which is provided as 'real Karoo lamb', and then the side dishes were out of the books.
See stars.
We really enjoyed our one night stay over. We had our dog with us and she enjoyed being able to explore freely and play with the other dogs. We arrived pretty late in the evening so everything was dark, and we left early in the morning so couldn't see much of the location. I would definitely stay here again, and I have already recommended it to family and friends.
It was very convenient.
Quiet farm environment, no noise.
We have already stayed at the accommodation several times, and would recommend it to any traveller.
There are beautiful trees and shady green lawns. Just lovely.
It was truly a welcome sight! Beautiful rondavel and only the best facilities.
Very neat and beautiful place. Conveniently close to the N1, but not so that you didn't feel safe. Love the stone and grass roof and DStv was a bonus.
Excellent. Comfortable and all necessary facilities to watch the PGA golf.
Our stay was very pleasant. The facilities were neat and well maintained. The communal cooking and dining facilities were particularly convenient and comfortable to use. We ordered dinner and it was ready on our arrival and very tasty. All that bothers a little is the fact that the roundabouts are located relatively close to the N1 motorway and the sounds of passing traffic are unavoidable.
Rondawel Guest Farm offers very good accommodation options for travelers and overnight visitors. We only stayed one night and everything was beautifully clean and tidy. We ordered dinner and it was truly value for money. The living area is very well equipped with an honesty service ("honesty box") should any drinks or soft drinks be taken from the fridge. Thanks to the management and team. Although the roundabouts are close to the N1, the busy road was no disturbance. And a special thank you to Pieter and his work people who helped me with vehicle problems on the morning of our departure.
Great place. We really wished there was a kettle in the rondawel that came with the coffee and mugs though. Dinner has to be preordered so they can prepare for your arrival, so a good note is letting them know beforehand. Otherwise what a lovely place!
Cute setup with lapa, dining room and grass. The big turtle and bunnies were a surprise.
Well organized. Neat and tidy accommodation. Friendly communication from hostess.
Perfectly located for a stop on the route to CPT. I shared with a friend and it was not appropriate that the bathroom did not have a door. I recommend that the units are fumigated as there were lots of crawling insects during the night.
The rondavel is tidy, beds nice and soft and cuddly warm with warm blankets and heater already on when we arrived. The road can sometimes be a bit noisy, but once you fall asleep, it doesn't bother you.
Situated in the middle between Johannesburg and Cape Town. The accommodation was perfect for one night. The food was good.
Accommodation was very good. Food was just not up to my standard for price.
For one night it was fine.
Excellent hospitality and service. Comfortable, pretty and clean rooms. Beautiful and tranquil surroundings. Supper was delicious.
Thank you very much, it was neat and the service was great. Would recommend it for sure.
Accommodation is perfectly set up, well organized and the hostess was very helpful, despite power challenges. The dam swim was perfect for the heat.
Very nice! The food was excellent!
Delicious food. Well equipped accommodation.
The homemade lamb was an amazing Karoo treat!
Neat and clean places to stay. Friendly and hospitable hostess. Ate deliciously and slept very well. Will definitely recommend.
Everything was clean and tidy. Slept warm and got good food that we had arranged in advance. Great!
Clean, tidy accommodation near N1. Perfect for an overnight stop.
Tereza is so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. It's like visiting family.
Safe and very friendly people. I would recommend it to everyone.
Due to a spontaneous tour, my sister and I had to find a place to sleep for the evening at the last minute. The Rondawel contacted us personally to check on our arrival time, and stood up as we arrived. Truly a beautiful place, where a couple can spend the night together very nicely. For those who are a bit shy or want to come as groups of friends, there was minimal privacy between the bedroom and the bathroom, as the open roof and no door in between will not hide any sounds, and possibly show a picture that was not meant to be seen not. It's easily preventable by just going out or staying on the other side of the room. It was and remains terrific value for money, with the ideal position very close to the N1. 10/10.
It was a very welcomed stop and a surprisingly wonderful setting. It exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious!
This is the perfect overnight stop along the N1. Took the dinner option and the food was fantastic. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Accommodation for one night as an overnight stay. Easy to find the place and everything neat and clean.
Everything you need for a relaxing overnight stay.
Our 2nd time staying here and once again the unit is very tidy and contains everything you need in the unit.
The hospitality was excellent and the food was of high quality. Everything was in place.
Positive. No further comment.
Perfect overnight stay between Johannesburg and the Cape. Delicious dinner after our tired drive. Thank you very much!
We only stayed overnight on our way to Cape Town, but the host was lovely, got in touch with us beforehand, and so on. The rondavels are rustic and charming and this would be a lovely stay for young children with lots of space to run around and bunnies, dogs and so on.
Dinner was wholesome and delicious.
Reception and hospitality was 5 star.
We were in Karoopark and were on our way to Bergkwagga. Sanparke does not give senior citizen discounts on weekends. Visited friends who live near Rondawel.
The rooms are well furnished, bedding sufficient for the Karoo winter cold. Very nice biscuit! The communal kitchen/lounge is fantastic - Pieter came to make a lovely fire, we hung out in the lounge all evening - nice collection of CDs to listen to and books to read. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a cozy indoor braai with a long dining table. Ideal for people traveling together. The outdoor barbecue is probably very nice in the summer. Will definitely stay here again if we stay overnight in Richmond.
Very nice, there just needs to be better maintenance on the shower head and toilet bowl. Fish moths are also a minor problem. Definitely recommend overnight stay.
Close to road, yet peaceful. Very nice view. Rondavel comfortable and beautiful.
Convenient location, although quite close to the highway, so traffic noise audible. Comfortable rondawels, but could be cold in the winter months. Very nice communal kitchen facility.
Location very close to N1 with a lot of road noise.
Everything was ready upon our arrival, neat and everything you need. It's peaceful and quiet. Dinner was delicious, real farm food. Hostess and host were friendly. It's a good place to stop if you're driving from Gauteng to the Cape.
Had a great time. Theresa, we are thinking of you who have still received us despite personal crisis. We come to sleep over again.
The rondavels are nice and cool after the long drive. The dinner is an excellent plate of farmer's food! Will deduct for it again.
Rondawel Guest Farm is excellently located for the traveller. The peaceful farm environment with good accommodation and meals available on demand is what the traveler needs after a long day in the car.
Nice hostess, very helpful. Neat rondavel, equipped with all the necessities.
Slept very well and swam well.
Nice place. good food just too noisy.
The units are very neat - wonderful after the long journey. Beautiful place - would definitely stay there again!
We stayed here during our move to the West Coast. Well-equipped rondavel with nice braai area and a beautiful restaurant. We are going to advise family and friends to definitely spend the night here. Thank you very much Tereza and Rondawel Guest Farm.
Best pet friendly place you will ever visit. Great service and views. And so neat and tidy.
We love staying at Rondawel Guest Farm. It is a special place, in a beautiful part of South Africa. Very well set up - safe, welcoming - and the dogs LOVE staying there!
600km from Cape Town it is a timely stopover. The peaceful atmosphere and the fact that we could bring our woof with us makes it very special. Definitely on our list for the future.
So nice to arrive at an oasis after a long day on the road. Beautiful green surroundings with playground for children. Rooms are clean and welcoming, tray with enough drinks and biscuits. Shared kitchen and braai area well equipped. Tereza and Pieter welcome us like old friends. Definitely a place I would stay again. Thank you for a wonderful 3 days in the Karoo.
The rondavels were all newly thatched and very comfy. We were even given rusks and milk with our tea and coffee. It is so convenient to be so close to the N1, so you are quickly on the road again the next morning. You have a separate rondavel where you can eat supper which is very tastefully decorated. A real home away from home. Highly recommended!
Delicious dinner and friendly, hospitable reception.
We stayed at Rondawel Guest Farm for one night. The room was warm and the beds comfortable. We enjoyed a lovely, home-cooked dinner in the dining area. We plan to return to stay in the future!
Comfortable overnight stop with delicious dinner and cozy fireplace for cold evenings. Friendly host and hostess.
Everything was very neat and clean.
The accommodation is comfortable, and the dinner makes it feel like mother's house. Thank you very much for your hospitality.
Such an oasis. A beautiful spot just off the national road, but so peaceful. My dog happily played on the lawn whilst I lay on my back and looked at the stars. Thank you so much.
Neat and clean and very friendly reception. Had the most delicious meal and the baked bread was out of the books!
Excellent food and accommodation. Tereza is unbeatable as owner and hostess. Will definitely visit again.
The houses are neat and beautiful. Green grass, peaceful and quiet. Friendliness and delicious dinner. Will definitely stop there again.
Where does one even start! Best accommodation of our entire 7-day trip through the Karoo. The communal "dining room" had all the amenities; beer and cider stocked fridge and a fine selection of white and red wines on the kitchen island. Dishwasher, microwave, stove and cooktop, indoor braai, cafe dining tables, huge dining room table for a large group and wonderful living room area. All beautifully decorated in true Karoo style. Ourdoor lapa which prompted spontaneous interaction with other guests. Small and intimate setting with only 4 rondavels - love this! Rooms had crisp and clean linen, a fabulous shower head, small but fantastic kitchenette and DStv. Loved this experience.
Rondawel Guest Farm is a beautiful place in the Karoo. The green oasis is a lovely stopover. Service is outstanding and Elize cooks fantastic food. The dining hall, rondavels and braai area are beautiful, neat and well equipped. We will definitely stay here again.
Great experience and hospitality.
Service by Piet and Theresa brilliant. Tastiest dinner ever. Great hosts. Thank you.
Very clean and tidy. All that is needed for overnight as in our case. Very nice atmosphere on the farm.
The booking and check-in went smoothly. We were kept updated all the time. We also ordered the meal which was delicious and very welcoming on arrival.
The place is easy to get to from the N1, but the website's directions, which have no idea where the starting point is, are very confusing.
This was a lovely place to stay and we would return.
The location is perfect, the rondavel is spacious, the grass is green and the peasant food was tasty!
Hostess was fantastic, we ordered supper as an extra. It was a home from home meal! Perfect halfway stop from Jhb to CT.
Room and bedding very neat - would have liked a closed toilet.
Staff is extremely friendly, food is delicious, rooms are spacious and clean. Very definitely a place I will come back to.
Can't believe it's in the Karoo. Very watery.
Highlight of stay: Thereza made tasty dinner at an affordable price. Was not part of agreement but welcome and appreciated.
Would you possibly want to look at a weekend (4 days) with our cycling group here with you if there are nice and good routes?
We arrived and checked in as confirmed by message. Then to the kitchen area and deliciously grilled. The room was clean and tidy.
Neat and clean. Delicious Karoo dinner. Unfortunately close to N1 so traffic bothers a bit but not management's fault. Will definitely recommend.
Good stopover point. Clean rooms, hot water. Just off the highway which is convenient but also means some road noise at night.
The stay was very pleasant and the food delicious. But our night was very bad as there were 3+ bats in the family roundabout that flew around all night and fell on us 2 times. Couldn't sleep.
Food was very delicious and tasty. Mutton neck cooked in a way I don't know.
Just had a great time, would love to come again.
Getting to the Rondawel Guest Farm was easy. Everything was ready and the fridge water was an absolute winner after the hot long drive. As a single traveling lady, I felt safe there and could sleep peacefully. I was in the process of moving and the fact that I could stop right next to the rondavel made it so much easier to carry all the luggage off.
Comfortable and the most delicious plate of food.
Great place to overnight between Cape Town and Joburg.
Will definitely stay over again. Nice walks and seems ideal for young families too. Thank you for a very enjoyable stop over.
Second visit to Rondawel Guest Farm. Thanks for the extra effort like heater that was on when we arrived. Safe. Comfortable.
I had to move from Potchefstroom to Cape Town, and Rondawel Gasteplaas made the overnight trip so pleasant. If I ever have to drive North I will definitely stay here again.
Thanks Pieter for the nice company and conversation. Hope the rain comes to you in the Karoo!
Delicious Karoo dinner was special.
Compliment to Tereza! The room was lovely, with heated underblankets, tea/coffee and enough warm blankets. Excellent selection of TV programmes in this great stopover between JHB and CPT.
Ideal resting place between Gauteng and the Cape. Quiet and very safe. We arrived at Tereza's place at 19:00 and she had a delicious plate of food for us. Our rondavel was clean and tidy. Everything in its place. Next time I would like to spend an extra night there to explore the area.
Perfect sleepover. Tidy. Clean. The dinner was top notch. Would definitely recommend it.
Rondawel Guesthouse is a very neat overnight accommodation with a peaceful farm atmosphere.
Even though the N1 is close to Rondawel, the traffic does not bother. Nice visiting area. Beautiful surroundings.
Easy to find. Clean and comfortable.
As one gets older, the condition and choice of mattresses is very important. The mattresses are in excellent condition. Linen and towels are high quality and clean which is extremely important to me. Thanks for that. Unfortunately the shower's water was a problem but which I have already discussed directly with the owner. This is surely something that has already been fixed and that the owner was not aware of.
We slept over at Rondawel Guest Farm for one night on our way to the Cape. Dogs were with us and they enjoyed it a lot.
Lots of room for our dog to roam around.
Rondawel Guest Farm is conveniently placed when traveling between Bloemfontein and Cape Town! The place has everything is needed for a one night crash! Lovely boma with fireplace for braaiing. Fully equipped kitchen and variety drinks on offer. Beautiful farm with peacocks and tortoises walking around. And with freezing temperatures at night the electric blankets were fantastic. Thank you, Rondawel Guest Farm.
Friendly service, amazing view and stunning place!
Comfortable rondavel with electric blanket! Very useful in winter months. Unfortunately, very close to the highway and its accompanying non-stop road noise, also during the night.
Dinner was delicious country food, perfectly prepared.
Very authentic Karoo sleepover. Nice swim in farm dam and great traditional food for supper. Great stay and will be back for sure!
Accommodation was perfect for a family with a small child, the child could enjoy playing on the climbing frame and cascar. Particularly friendly host, who made us feel very welcome. Could have a great barbecue, relax, stretch your legs and sleep comfortably in the rondavel which offers more than enough space.
Very neat, clean and friendly. ? Fantastic overnight place and the food was excellent
Very nice stay. Very clean and very beautiful. The real karoo braai oak was a winner as was the home-baked bread. Our dogs also had a great time.
Comfortable and safe overnight stop after the long road. Delicious Karoo dinner. Hang out with a glass of wine by the fireplace in the common area. My dogs enjoyed freedom. Thank you very much for hospitality.
Perfect overnight stay. Clean linen. A little too rustic for me, but I would imagine quite acceptable for others. Friendly hosts.
It was nice to interact with the hosts and to just chat about every day life in the area. The food was great and we enjoyed the dinner we had that evening. Our host gave us her recipe for the venison pie we had.
Good food, good service, peaceful atmosphere, animal friendly.
Well situated. Close to the N1. Lovely cottages in peaceful setting.
For us it has always been a nice overnight stay. You have a nice barbecue area or you can enjoy the hostess's delicious farm food. About 5 hours drive from Mossel Bay. Just right for us as older people who don't want to drive that far in one day.
The rondavel is neat and clean and the green lawn and large trees provide a calm and cool environment. The braai area and reception room where you can eat or cook is very elegant and practical. We just ordered dinner, delicious Karook food at its best! Pieter was a very friendly host who went out of his way to make it pleasant for us. We will come again, and highly recommend Rondawel guest farm.
Very convenient. We stayed overnight between Johannesburg and Cape Town. There was everything we needed. The kitchen facilities in particular were fantastic and enabled us to cook our own food. The owners are very approachable and friendly. The children really enjoyed the turtles and the open space after the long day in the car.
Rondawel 2's bed is not very comfortable and the shower head could have been slightly higher - otherwise good overnight stay.
Perfect for overnight. Dinner very nice!
Calm atmosphere. Food is delicious. After a long journey, one can enjoy a nice cold cold drink at the restaurant. Could have a nice walk with the dogs.
We really enjoyed the hospitality. We decided at the last minute to have supper which was delicious. You can, unfortunately, hear the noise from the road. Other than than, it was the perfect overnighter.
It would be great to have a self service continental breakfast with fruit, toast, muesli.
Excellent service! Thank you!
Friendly reception. Hostess gave us an option for dinner - what a delicious plate of peasant food! It was nice to be able to stretch my legs on the farm after the long road.
Could stay longer and would stay there again if we travel to the north.
Lovely, peaceful place to stay. Nicely fried, delicious Karoo meat. Would love to stay there again. Value for money. Thank you Tereza, it was lovely.
The host was extremely friendly and helpful. We ordered dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the real farmer's food. Rondawel unit was very clean and tidy. However, the shower head was clogged and so it was difficult to get a shower. But overall a great experience along the long road. We will definitely stay there again.
Owners have gone out of their way to make it as comfortable as possible after a long day on the road. The tranquility of the surroundings was truly a plus and there is enough for the small team to keep them busy. The cleanliness of the rondavel and dining area impressed me a lot. The central kitchen is well equipped and you can prepare your own meal (braai) or request that a delicious dinner be prepared for you at a reasonable price. We will definitely go there again.
The guest farm is not too far from the main route. The rooms are very comfortable in a peaceful atmosphere. The communal braai area and dining room are very nice and the braai packs very tasty and value for money.
Knowing we had a long day on the road, we enquired about the possibility of dinner. No problem said our host Tereza and we were served an absolutely delicious meal shortly after arrival. Our accommodation, in a cleverly designed Rondawel, was very comfortable and we enjoyed the luxury of an electric blanket to stave off a cold Karoo winter night. Warm friendly service.
Friendly welcoming and very neat. It was wonderful that Rondawel Guest Farm accommodated our two puppies. Was a treat after a very long day on the road!
This is the second time that I've stayed at Rondawel and it's the perfect overnight place between Cape Town and Johannesburg. The huts are set out very nicely and the atmosphere is peaceful. The food that can be arranged beforehand is also lovely.
The warmth of these Karoo people is really something we embraced. The late afternoon rain shower brought out the beauty of the Karoo. We will definitely want to stay there again.
We stayed overnight at Rondawel on our journey between Pretoria and Cape Town. The accommodation was so comfortable, clean and tidy. The farm provided an opportunity for the children to run around and play after a long day of driving in the car. The turtles, bunnies and birds were very exciting for them! We were very grateful to be able to have dinner there, and the dining facilities are so well equipped with everything one would need! The barbecue, salad and sandwich that Tereza brought us were top notch. We will definitely be back next year.
See stars.
5th time we spend the night here. The nice peaceful atmosphere of the farm, the choice to braai or eat a delicious farm meal at the hostess makes it just so much more enjoyable. Then you sleep so sweetly. Hot water and delicious coffee and rusks in the morning before driving. What more do you want?
The cottage was comfortable, clean and easily accessible. Friendly service and an enjoyable stay.
Always nice to staye here. Neat, clean, hospitable and delicious food. Thank you.
Perfect overnight accommodation. Everything is provided. Braai pack was ordered in advance and it was delicious. Definitely recommended.
See stars.
Baie lekker, mooi en rustig.
Stargazing was the highlight!
Quiet place to spend the night.
We spent the night on the farm on our way to Cape Town, and would definitely recommend it.
The toilet was broken and the shower head goes in all directions, except your head.
Enjoyed the walk on the farm with my dogs. Very safe.
Pleasant place to sleep over.
Very good reception. Neat and clean rooms. Real Karoo accommodation. Good for small children.
We enjoyed our stay in Rondavel Guest Farm. Lovely setting. We also had dinner and a braai. Everything was superb.
Clean and neat. Value for money.
Thank you very much for an unforgettable evening's stay. Your hospitality is out of the books, and the meal was certainly a meal to talk about for a long time. Thank you for your kindness and may your guest farm do very well and will definitely recommend it to everyone.
We had a lovely sleepover, despite the cold. We could use the indoor braai, there is even a fireplace. Tereza provided us with barbecue, salad and bread. We had the whole lapa to ourselves and felt completely at home. Afterwards we could crawl into a warm bed with an electric blanket. Tereza has thought of all the necessary little things to make one feel at home and comfortable. Thanks for a nice sleepover, see you again.
Couldn't get better hospitality, food we ordered was perfect and would definitely stay here again with my dogs.
The Van der Merwes (owners) are so friendly and helpful. It was our second visit. We highly recommend Rondawel Guest Farm!
We stayed over on the way back to Pretoria from Cape Town. The location is ideal. It was a very nice place and the host made us feel welcome immediately. I'll definitely recommend it.
Feel free to visit Rondawel Guest Farm.
Lovely place. Thereza is very hospitable and her food is excellent. Will definitely stay here again.
Experienced real farmer hospitality as well as had the most delicious dinner. Slept very well in the well-equipped rondavels.
Our halfway stop over at Rondawel Guest Farm was perfect. Our GSD dogs had such fun exploring the stream and the grounds. The interior design of the establishment was very well thought out with nothing lacking. Our only disappointment was that the owner was away and we missed out on the renowned Karoo dinner. I will be back to experience that.
The rondavels are only cold in winter because they are built of stone. We would have preferred it if the bathroom had a door for privacy there. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The food on Saturday night was very nice.
We really enjoyed our stay at Rondawel Guest Farm. Als is so clean and fresh. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend people to sleep over there. Excellent service.
We found our overnight stay as awesome. Very friendly management. Would recommend to others passing through.
Lovely relaxing farm stopover with friendly owners. Great dinner by arrangement.
Would definitely recommend!
It is a particularly comfortable and convenient place to stay.
Kyk, nou dis 'n mooi plek, so netjies, gemaklik en gerieflik. Ons sal enige tyd weer daar oorslaap.
This a brilliant stopover which is pet friendly! We had a delicious dinner which was most welcome after a long road trip. We would definitely stay here again. The hosts and staff were friendly and made sure we were well looked after.
We have stayed there many times and have never been disappointed. Very neat and comfortable. Owners very friendly and helpful. Would recommend anytime.
This is the third time we have stayed here. It's out of the way, it's peaceful and an ideal halfway point between Mossel Bay and Bloemfontein. You can either order a delicious farmer's food meal in the evening and eat in the neat dining room or barbecue yourself in the spacious braai area with the nice thatched roof and chairs and take advantage of the farm atmosphere and for the bird watchers quite a few species to watch right there to sit and watch. The Rondawels are also beautiful and deliciously cool on the sweltering hot days or nice and warm in the winter. There is ample parking. What more could one want?
Our stay was only for one night and we found it to be a very peaceful and safe environment. The owners were very friendly and came to see if everything was alright after our arrival. Unfortunately, we only found out later that evening that there was no real water supply to the shower. It was a disappointment because one enjoys a nice shower after a long day on the road. We stayed in rondavel 4 so maybe it would be good to mention it to the owners.
Comfortable and tidy with enough facilities and good value for money.
We were able to relax peacefully after a long journey, barbecue in lappa and use all dining/kitchen facilities. Nothing was missing. The rondavel room is neat, comfortable and clean, like all the other facilities.
The rondavel is clean and tidy and very efficient for the purpose for which we needed it (one night's sleep). The other facilities were also very neat and the dinner was delicious.
What a lovely guest farm. Well run by the family (the sons served us supper). The owner was responsive and organised. The units were well appointed, fantastically clean and comfortable. We loved seeing a bit of the farm, the sheep, bunnies, horses, tortoise and gorgeous sheepdogs. Best Karoo sunset I've seen in years. Good work, keep it up.
It would have been nice if each unit had its own small braai, there is one braai for all the guests. Not everyone always feels comfortable having a barbecue among strangers while they are busy with their own things in the same room.
It's just off the N1 and therefore easily accessible, but it also makes the roar of traffic audible. It's a comfortable place to stay.
Nice plate of food. Good location. Friendly service. Can't ask for more.
See stars.
We were only notified when we arrived that there would not be a breakfast available prior to our departure in the morning. This caused unnecessary delays trying to find breakfast on the remainder of our journey home.
Slept and ate very well.
This is the 3rd time we stopped over from Cape Town and it's well worth the stop.
Top value for money, we had a choice before we got there of what we wanted, (supper, wood, breakfast etc), on arrival there were no delays. Room spacious and tidy, food court and braai facilities well planned.
We can definitely recommend this guest farm and would gladly stay there again.
Can definitely recommend it.
During our trek to the Cape, we arrived at the Rondawel Guest farm with fully loaded cars and weak legs. We were immediately grateful for the coolness of the rooms and very happy to each get a comfortable and convenient bed for our aching bodies. The owner keeps in good contact with you and the fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to just spend the night or even have a holiday on this piece of heaven on earth. The picturesque surroundings are inspiring and everyone in the group relaxed with great ease and enjoyed the evening.
We really enjoyed it. Will definitely be back.
The rondavel in which we stayed was neat and very well equipped for the price range, and Tereza was very friendly and helpful. The location was also easy to find, just off the N1, which made this a very convenient overnight destination en route to Cape Town. We will definitely stop there again!
The facilities were neat and clean and the reception was friendly.
See stars.
The place is beautiful. Green grass, trees, you can hardly believe you are in the arid karoo. Tereza's attention to detail is noteworthy. We lacked nothing in the kitchen, and really had a great time. This is definitely a stopover we will stay at again.
Very clean and comfortable B&B.
See star rating.
Had a very nice stay. Good service.
You have to take your own cold drinks and snacks with you, but it's delicious and peaceful, especially after a long drive! My dogs could play and we could have a really delicious dinner.
We got some great at Rondawel after a long day on the road. My dogs were also very welcome and they could walk around as they wanted to. The facilities are more than value for money and the owners are very friendly! Thanks for your hospitality Tereza!
We used Rondawel for overnight on a long road. It's ideal, next to the N1 without being bothered with traffic, quiet on a farm. Amenities are functional and pleasant. Rondavel is used as a place to sleep and then there is a central dining and relaxation room, with a lovely log fire to drive away the winter cold. All facilities available, safe and clean.
Beautiful, clean, neat place. Wish it was closer to home. Thanks for your friendliness and hospitality. The delicious braai meat and freshly baked bread. Would stay ere again anytime.
Do request a braai pack for a very special Karoo experience. Nice braai facilities with a home-baked bread.
We really enjoyed it, would recommend Rondawel Guest Farm.
It is definitely value for money and is as advertised.
As a half way stop it was lovely to just relax in the farm atmosphere. We were able to walk around a bit to stretch our legs, shower and get ready for dinner which was served in the beautiful dining room where various drinks were also available if you wanted something useful. The meal itself was a delicious farm food meal. There is plenty of parking on site and our vehicle and trailer were able to park with us which made it feel safer. The night was cold but the nice heater and electric blanket made you completely forget about it. So thanks to our hostess.
The sleeping rondavels were neat and well equipped. The lawn and tree-rich yard in the Karoo creates a pleasant atmosphere after a long day on the road. The cozy dining and socializing area makes one feel at home, while the pre-regular dinner was farmer's food at its very best.
Good location for a stopover between Johannesburg and Cape Town.
Neat rondavels. The farm dam swimming pool was a relief after a long day's driving.
I enjoyed my stay here. The rondawels are cosy and the central dining/lounge/kitchen area is well equipped. Visitors can order a cooked dinner, order a barbecue pack or bring their own food. I chose the first option and the food was delicious. I especially like the pumpkin fritters, which are often too sweet. These ones had a delicate and delectable flavour. The traffic on the highway is audible but not loud enough to be disturbing.
We arrived late and left early. Don't know how the food is, but the place is nice.
Nice overnight stay between Bloemfontein and Cape Town. Well looked after - everything that was needed. Nice dinner. Friendly reception - Therese van der Merwe's arrangements ran on oiled wheels. Was able to relax and move around a bit after arrival. Traffic at night from N1 was a bit troublesome.
So so quaint and the food was delicious. Will recommend any day.
Pieter and Theresa are very friendly. The bedrooms (rondavels) are extremely clean and comfortable and the shared dining room/kitchen/barbecue area is extremely clean and has everything one needs. I have stayed here before, and will again. One hears the N1's traffic but it does not disturb. If you like soft or limp pillows on your bed, take your own.
Good rates, place to stay is very nice, area not suitable for cycling due to terrible thorns.
Very relaxing, pet-friendly.
There is access control for vehicles.
Wonderful place to stay. The service was very good and the food delicious. We had leg of mutton and vegetables for dinner and it was delicious. The rondavel was very clean and also had DStv. Would really recommend it.
Wonderfully furnished rondawel.
We will return time and again.
Good reception. Delicious dinner and breakfast. The trucks on the N1 were a bit noisy. Power failures every now and then, but we reckon it was an Eskom issue.
Hospitable reception. Stay as expected. Dinner and breakfast fantastic! Was quite cold at night. Shower is a bit slow.
Had such a good time, everything in the rooms in working condition and spotless. Great dinner.
I definitely recommend Rondawel as an overnight spot on the N1. Thank you!
