65 guests' feedbackAt Rooiberg you can imagine you are the only person on this planet. Around you stretches the Karoo in all its splendor; no one in sight. Inside the restored house it is cosy. It's nicely furnished. And the owners are warm and friendly. Stay here for a few days and explore the area on foot, as we did. And enjoy the silence.
Absolute silence and tranquility. If you want to switch off, the place is just for you. Hospitable and helpful hosts.
Beautiful cottage, very remote and private. Very hospitable Karoo owners.
Beautiful unit, spacious, clean and comfortable, neat, tasteful and unadorned. The farm dam was a welcome relief after the long road. The dirt road to the farm is beautiful and accessible to any vehicle and if you are lucky like us after the rain, you see the springbok frolicking in the water. We were warmly received and looked after and will definitely spend the night here again.
Ideally located on the way to the West Coast.
We had a fantastic stay at Rooiberg Guest Farm! Quiet, peaceful accommodation in the Klein Karoo. Thank you for the hospitality and fantastic service!
Yes, delicious! Thank you.
A beautiful home far from the maddening crowd. The cottage has everything you need for an overnight stay. The location is remote, and the stillness is stunning. Comfortable, very clean, and we felt very welcome.
What a pleasant surprise! So neat and clean with everything you need for a lovely visit. The silence and vastness of the Karoo plains with the millions of stars in the evening does any tired Gauteng soul the world of good!
It is a nice place to stay and is well looked after.
The cottage is perfectly situated with sheep that often pass by to drink. It gives one a real farm experience.
Incredibly quiet, very friendly hostess.
Friendly owners. Cottage really well appointed and clean. Great location.
The most beautiful house away from everything and everyone. It was so peaceful. Everything in the cottage was beautifully clean and tidy.
House was neat and clean. We went for a walk to explore the surroundings. Only fault I could mention was that the grill was not clean. The veranda where we bathed had a nice table and chairs, and gave a nice view of the farm. It was wonderfully peaceful surroundings, and deathly quiet. There is no cell phone signal or WIFI, which means that one is away from disturbance, and can relax. There is TV.
We spent one night in the special part of our country. The house is very comfortable. The silence and nature are special.
Incredible experience and lovely hospitality. Was very special.
Directions were easy, the house is away from the main house. Quiet and alone with the most beautiful sunset. Slept wonderfully warm with everything we needed. Will come again for sure.
See stars.
Friendly host.
We were received with such hospitality by Okkie and Carien. Beautiful little place, even prettier than the photos. Perfect place for some family time. Peace and quiet is food for the soul. Most beautiful Karoo experience. Will return, this time for longer.
We were a family of five who stayed for 3 days. We thoroughly enjoyed the tranquility and the vastness of the Karoo. The owners are friendly and really helpful. We enjoyed the big house with its modern amenities. We even had a lekker open air bonfire going on. It was just super enjoyable. I highly recommend the Rooiberg Gasteplaas.
Incredibly friendly welcome. The most beautiful accommodation and better than the photos on the internet. Very safe. What a beautiful place, wish we could have stayed here longer.
The renovated farm cottage was a delightfully appointed home from home in an idyllic Karoo setting. The farmer and his wife were very friendly and offered great hospitality.
It was one of the most beautiful and best vacations ever! We were there for 5 nights and the tranquility and beauty was more than we could have wished for. The house and swimming pool are incredibly comfortable and beautiful. Carien and Ockie made us feel so at home and made recommendations for routes on the farm to explore and places to visit in the area. Everyone should visit this Northern Cape treasure! They also helped us with a flat tire, for which we are very grateful! We will definitely return.
These are the friendliest people, it feels like old friends that you would love to visit again.
This is the first time that the physical place looks even better than the pictures on the web page. The house is beautiful and clean. The environment is incredibly beautiful and the people are friendly. The hosts will also go out of their way to make your visit with them an unforgettable experience. We will definitely go back and visit a little longer this time.
Can recommend the place!
The people were so hospitable and immediately made us feel at home. The place is exactly as in the pictures. Very nice and clean.
We loved Rooiberg Gasteplaas and can really recommend this spacious and clean accommodation. Will definitely visit again.
A beautiful home in wide-open spaces. The kids loved the space and the freedom to explore. We were there in August. The house was warm in the evening from the late afternoon sun but was chilly by the morning. It's a great place to enjoy some silence, beautiful sunsets and amazing stars.
Experience genuine Karoo space and warm hospitality at this hidden paradise. Newly redone with Carien's original and practical decor, Rooiberg is a perfect retreat.
Very friendly helpful hosts, kindest people, highly recommended spot.
We were specifically looking for accommodation on a farm on our way to Cape Town for one night. The 15 km dirt road (in good condition) is mentioned on the information section on the website and did not surprise us. It may not suit others who don't want to drive dirt roads. The wide open space around the cottage was exactly what we were looking for. Carien and Ockie received us particularly kindly and made an effort to accompany us to the unit. It definitely remains on our list of very pleasant guesthouses.
Was a fantastic two nights under the stars with privacy and tranquility. Would recommend anytime!
Hosts very friendly. A real tranquil farm feeling. Awesome star gazing. Will visit again when in the area.
If you really want to get away from it all this is the place to stay. Also a nice break of journey between the Cape and Gauteng. Hosts were also very good.
Well equipped house. Very private with amazing view, peaceful and quiet. Owners very hospitable. Ideal overnight to West Coast and Namaqua Coast. Will definitely go again and stay longer than one night next time.
We had a great time at Rooiberg Guest Farm. Enjoyed the beautiful view and a refreshing swim in the pond. We come again!
Typical old Karoo house from the outside and beautifully decorated inside. 3 Bedrooms with comfortable kitchen and lounge. Nice braai area outside with a beautiful view and lots of Karoo sounds. Lovely bed and bedding. Everything you need. Ideal accommodation for reading a good book, walking and just relaxing. We stayed one night which was way too short, stay at least 2 nights but if you can only stay one night go anyway! Wonderful hosts! Carien we will definitely be back again for a few nights then we can have a good time!
A tastefully decorated cottage in serene surroundings, what a gem! This place is a must and I will definitely go back.
Carien has beautifully restored and tastefully furnished the house. The linen is of a high quality and the equipment of very good quality. Soft bedding makes one sleep like a dream. Carien and her husband are pleasant and friendly people. Next time we will definitely stay for more than just one night. The silence and the stars are heavenly.
Ockie and Carien are fantastic host and hostess. They couldn't do enough for me and I very soon felt at home and at ease. The cottage is beautifully and stylishly furnished - actually luxurious. It has all the necessary facilities for a peaceful stay. I'm sorry I could only stay one night and will definitely return and stay longer in the future. Many thanks to the Van Schalkwyks!
A breathtaking experience, with beautiful nature around you and silence and stars in the evening! Perfect break from the city whether you are alone or just a family - will definitely go there again.
Great hosts. Cottage was well appointed, very clean will all new finishes. Great to see so many stars at night! Would recommend this to anyone travelling the area.
We had such a nice stay at Rooiberg Guestplaas, only sorry it was so short. The cottage is beautifully furnished and the hostess and host are incredibly friendly and extremely helpful. I highly recommend this accommodation and would love to visit again.
After a very long journey from Johannesburg, Rooiberg was exactly what we needed. Everything was lovely and in their place. Very friendly reception and the tranquillity of the area will always remain with us.
The Karoo hospitality was wonderful. Felt like we were visiting old friends!
We were very impressed with the accommodation. Very neat and clean. The host was fantastic and made sure that we were happy at all times.
Karien and Okkie's hospitality makes the stay on this Karoo farm an absolutely wonderful experience. We will definitely go out of our way to visit again.
You will see us again, beautiful house, at a sheepfold, at the open Karoo. We were warmly welcomed. House is clean and beautifully laid out. Miss it already.
We had a lovely stay on the farm cottage, all luxuries and necessities provided for. Beautifully and tastefully furnished and our hostess went out of her way to make us feel welcome. Would like to stay longer next time to explore the farm by bicycle, they have tracks to accommodate this. We had our dogs with and they had a ball running freely everywhere. Was great. Thanks.
We unfortunately stayed only one night, but Rooiberg is the real deal if you are looking for a typical Great Karoo farm experience. The farm house was recently renovated with great taste and detail and the hosts welcomed us with typical warm Karoo greetings into their world. Rooiberg Gasteplaas is highly recommended.
We like the open spaces of the Karoo and hope to stay here again in the future! Wonderful hospitality!
I'm so glad that I did this different stop-over, which was a great experience for me, well worth the added time. An isolated Karoo cottage on a farm way out of town in the Norther Cape. I slept with open curtains because the stars were so beautiful and the only sounds were the windmill turning occasionally in the wind, the bleating of sheep and the flying bats. I had time for an evening walk into nature which my dog Toto really loved. Then we sat on the veranda watching the unmatchable Karoo evening cloud formations in the gorgeous sunset. The cottage was pristine and well equipped and an overnight stop didn't do it justice. I will be back with my wife for a longer stay.
Beautiful cottage in the middle of the Karoo with exceptional service and great value for money. We would highly recommend it and hope we can go there one day ourselves.
Lovely stay, wish we could have stayed longer! Can't remember the last time I didn't hear any sound from any car for so long. The few extra km that one turns off the main road is absolutely worth it. Very nice and hospitable people, their house is a long way from the guest house, so it feels like you are the only people on earth. The cottage itself is well equipped and the beds and bedding great.
Carien's hospitality, the guest house and picture-perfect surroundings are Karoo at its best. Really recommend for a long weekend of tranquility and nature!
Nice break from the busy routes. Very neat and clean.
Upon arrival the owners welcomed us. Friendly people and the house is well equipped. There are 3 bedrooms and equipped kitchen. It's a real Karoo farm and the silence is incredible. Beautiful view. It was the perfect overnight destination for us on our way to the West Coast.
Beautifully restored cottage. Well equipped. Tastefully decorated. Wonderful secluded Karoo environment and hospitality. Be very clear about full directions before arrival as there are no signs or route indicators.
Highly recommended. Very peaceful. Great owners. Really a stunning place.
Very friendly welcome even though we got there late. Beautiful 3-bedroom place, with DStv, a nice braai area, fully equipped kitchen (with nice fresh farm milk in the fridge)! Had a great time and slept very well.
Get to know yourself in nature.
We were pleasantly surprised with a beautiful, neat little house! It is brand new and very comfortable! Downside though is that it's quite far from the main road and it's on a dirt road! But must also say that the dirt road is very nice, even for a regular sedan car!
