558 guests' feedbackWe thoroughly enjoyed the overnight stay at Rooidam.
Beautiful peaceful Karoo sheep farm. Stay beautiful and tidy and make you long to visit Grandma Oppie's farm. Our hostess is a beautiful person who took us for a walk with the dogs in the late afternoon. Just remember the nearest shop in town and it's self-service.
Very cute place to stay with the friendliest host and hostess!
We spent one night on the Rooidam farm with family. The house was clean, comfortable, well equipped (also with heating) and very tastefully decorated. Also suitable for long stays. Solar panels, water safe to drink. Magazines to read, coffee, tea, milk and home-made rusk available. The farm is peaceful and beautiful, a real Karoo experience! The hosts are very friendly, taking care of the guests. Swings and climbing wall for kids (our teenagers enjoyed it too).
The friendliest people, salt of the earth.
Beautiful, quiet farm stay with extremely friendly and helpful host. A rest for the soul.
Our 2nd visit to Rooidam Cottages. Once again it is just perfect and a gem in the Karoo! Pampered with a cozy fireplace on arrival and a friendly welcome by Oom Frans. The cottage is beautifully clean and comfortably furnished and with a new roof for the car. Thanks for all the treats - biscuits and milk. Can recommend Roodiam Cottages with full confidence as the ideal overnight stop en route to the Cape.
It was enjoyable and practical.
Very nice stay. Everything was very neat and clean. Friendly reception by owner. We can definitely recommend Roodiam Cottages and will look no further than them in the future.
It was rest for the soul! Delicious grilled steak under the starry sky and socializing. Lovely people.
Very pleasant accommodation and friendly hosts.
Quick and easy stay for a transit drive from Cape Town to JHB. Hosts were really accommodating, helpful and friendly and the spot was more than adequate and value for money. Thank you to the Rooidam Cottages team.
Perfect stay for a stopover. Lovely spot with dedicated and very clean ablution.
Just as good as the last time. Abdré and Bonquet are wonderful hosts. The accommodation is well equipped and very comfortable. It's also nice to be able to stretch your legs walking around the farm. It is also quiet with lovely bird sounds. I would highly recommend it.
Beautiful farm in a quiet and peaceful environment. Comfortable cottage.
See stars.
Just overnight. Arrived late and left early.
Pleasant overnight stay. Clean, tidy and the farm feeling is a bonus. Will definitely recommend and use the place again and stay longer.
Very friendly and hospitable welcome. Would stay there again anytime.
Lovely accommodation and very nice hosts! We will definitely stay there again.
We saw beautiful sunset and sunrise. Slept in the car with the roof open. Beautiful starry night.
Friendly welcome. Everything was clean and tidy. Electric blanket made us sleep nice and warm. Will definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed it very much. Real Karoo hospitality.
Very nice stay! Will definitely be back.
Karoo hospitality at its best.
Friendly hostess made us feel very welcome. Unit is neat and has everything needed. Will stay there again and again and again.
We had a lovely stay at Rooidam Cottages & Campsites. The accommodation met our needs and was very comfortable.
Wonderful surprise in the middle of the Karoo in a lush green oasis.
Clean, tidy, friendly, excellent host and hostess. Excellent value for money. Will always go back.
Incredibly peaceful and beautiful place to stay. André and Bonquet were very friendly and gave us a really warm welcome. The houses are also really exactly what one wants. I will definitely stay there again.
Good location on N12 for overnight stay, quiet and peaceful farm atmosphere. Facilities are clean and tidy with WiFi, air conditioning on a hot day and solar power. Very friendly and hospitable people who welcome their guests personally.
Beautiful campsites with lovely private, individual ablutions. Friendly owners. Highly recommended.
Neat and peaceful accommodation. The hostess received us very kindly. We could walk and take beautiful photos.
We had a great stay at Andre & Bonquet's. The accommodation was nice and tidy, very peaceful and the children really enjoyed the farm dam.
Silence, tranquility, hospitality was a blessing for us.
We had a lovely, fun and peaceful stay at Rooidam!
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was an extremely hot day, and we were so grateful to be able to cool off at the pool. The owners go beyond great professionalism in that they go out of their way to ensure you enjoy their place. I loved that the mattresses and bedding were of really good quality; we all slept well. Thank you! We were also pleasantly surprised that there's an option to go onto the roof for star-gazing; it's such a treat! I enjoyed the reading material and the option to play a quick game of tennis.
Wonderful silence, farm pond swimming was a pleasure.
Very nice cottage and everything beautifully clean and tidy. It was wonderful to be able to spend the night on the farm and enjoy the hospitality of Andre and Bonquet. Would definitely recommend.
Ideal location for an oasis in the Karoo if you are traveling between Pretoria and Cape Town. The place is beautiful and well equipped, we had a wonderful rest. Even the bit of dirt road off the highway was in very good condition for our sedan car.
A lovely, safe, Karoo cottage with a divine, restful surround. Andrè and Bonquet were lively hosts.
Very nice stay, our hostess was very helpful and friendly.
Very enjoyable farm stay.
As before, very nice stay.
Very pleasant stay!
Very clean and tidy. Friendly welcome by hostess. There is nothing missing. Best place to stay in Britstown area. Won't get better. One small thing - As a single traveler I chose to sleep on single bed - bed kept me awake with creaking noises when I moved. Maybe pay attention to strengthen base of bed.
An oasis in the Karoo. One is blown away by what has been created there. It's really great accommodation with luxuries like solar & WiFi. Covered parking in the merciless Karoo heat is an added convenience.
It was a very quiet and peaceful stopover for us on our way to the west coast. The houses are neat, clean and equipped with everything you need for an overnight stop.
Rooidam looks like an oasis in the middle of the forest from afar. Incredibly tree-rich and beautiful around the accommodation. Hostess was very friendly and welcoming. Internet, air conditioning, hot water, braai facilities and parking for your vehicle and much more. Very good value for money and I will definitely visit them again.
Nice quiet and peaceful. The layout offers privacy even if there are other guests. The unit is well equipped and anything else can be asked for. Beautiful people. Definitely more than just an overnight place.
Slept very nice and warm. Had delicious, hot farmer's food for dinner (which was arranged in advance). This is the perfect overnight stay after a very long day on the road.
Very nice stay. Comfortable, neat and clean. Thank you for your hospitality.
Had a wonderful stay. Got a nice farm and nice braai suit. Very friendly. The only comment is that the house is very full, especially in the kitchen area. And maybe a fetch for a screen door that keeps slamming.
We had a great time at the Raath's. Super friendly hostess! Swimming in the farm pond was wonderful! Karoo stars and night run delicious!
Beautifully decorated large accommodation with ample opportunity to walk around the farm. Would like to stay with the friendly owners again anytime.
Very peaceful, hospitable and people person.
The Rooidam Cottages & Campsites are spacious, neat and clean. It is still private even though it is close to the camp site. The owners Andre' and Bonquet welcomed us personally, they are very friendly and hospitable. The Karoo constellation is breathtakingly beautiful. We will definitely spend the night at Rooidam Guest Farm again and can recommend it with full confidence. Thanks for the great service.
It's always nice to see old acquaintances, and in the same way it's nice to spend the night at a place and you know that everything will be 101% again. I had a wonderful stay as always, and will continue to recommend Rooidam Cottages & Campsites without reservation.
The stay was very pleasant. There is room to go jogging with, if the name didn't make it clear, a pond to swim in. Solar power is a huge bonus, so you don't have to worry about load shedding when you stay here (by the way, you don't have to feel guilty about using the air conditioning either). Very nice.
I booked the place for my elderly parents and a friend who was accompanying them. Even beforehand, the hostess was particularly helpful in meeting all their needs. But what they got exceeded all their expectations. They were received with open arms and warmth. They especially couldn't get enough of the variety of fruit and other trees. They feel that my husband and I must also spend the night there. Thank you for the effort you made.
Surprising! Karoo accommodation on a different note. Enjoy every moment there. Will definitely go again.
Ideal stopover for our journey from the Kgalagadi to the Southern Cape. Neat and clean and convenient near the N12. Will use it again.
Clean, comfortable and safe overnight destination. See stars!
We slept very well. Everything one needs. Nice quiet and safe.
Friendly, hospitable hostess. Goes out of her way to make you feel welcome. Everything neat and clean. Well equipped for loadshedding. Safe.
Was very clean and tidy. Everything you need and more!
Our second overnight stay here. Highly recommend.
Everything we needed and more.
Warm welcome, information about the history of the farm and excellent interaction with guests. Accommodation comfortable and private.
Reasonable price for accommodation.
Owners were hospitable and the place is neat. Thank you.
All that one needs and more. Such a cute little place.
This was our first visit to Rooidam, but it is definitely going to be a fixed overnight stop in our future trips to Gauteng, even when touring, as they also have very nice campsites. It is always pleasant when one can live so peacefully and safely with such kind and warm-hearted people in these days.
I like staying at Rooidam because the owners care about service and it's nice to go back to a place where you know you'll get nice amenities and personal attention. I once again had a wonderful stay and André and Bonquet are stalwarts - thank you very much.
We stayed two nights. It was a lovely visit on the farm. Although it was bitterly cold, we were cozy in the house. I ordered the meat package a little too late, then the hostess defrosted it for us without us asking. They put in a lot of extra effort. I will definitely stay there again.
Beautiful landscape and cute accommodation presented with care.
The service is great, Andre kept me updated from time to time. Directions, code for the gate, load shedding schedule, we could even have come in the morning to watch pigeons being released by one of the guests. Got the most delicious biscuits and oranges. My children were very surprised to see oranges growing on a tree for the first time, we even went to pick some oranges for them. We will visit you again - definitely!
Peaceful farm atmosphere with friendly and hospitable owners. The place is clean and tidy and although we only stayed one night, it is ideal for a longer stay. We would definitely stay here again.
Will never stay at another place on the way to Cape and even back. Very nice place and even the animals on site were very friendly.
Nice accommodation with a difference.
Friendly people. Farm life, right on the N12. Very pleasant overnight stay, will do so again.
All that put us off was that we were told that each room would have its own bathroom. We knew there were 2 rooms and assumed the door in the other room was to the bathroom we were told. Otherwise it was so nice to spend the night there. The friendliness and hospitality is wonderful.
Very hospitable and tidy. Friendly welcome on arrival Karee Kothuis is suitable for a short stay, very tidy and everything you might need. Lovely veranda to relax after the long drive and lovely large bathroom to wash off the dust. Pleasantly surprised, thanks for great service.
Very nice place, especially if you are on your way to the sea.
Lived in Bloudam; ideal for parents with 2 children.
See stars.
It is an ideal spot for halfway from the North West to the Cape. Very nice place with everything you need.
Our night in the Granaathuisie was particularly pleasant and comfortable. Braai facilities are available. One can cool off in the farm pond and walk around the farm and explore the Karoo landscape. The fresh pomegranates were a delicious experience. We will definitely stay again if there is an opportunity.
Fantastic and private.
Place atmosphere with a sunset that takes your breath away. The people are friendly. The private ablution is a wonderful luxury at an affordable price.
See stars.
The vibe is so relaxed and the owners are really friendly. I was recommended to go for dinner in the town hotel and experienced a down to earth, enjoyable meal of home cooked roast lamb. Thank you for making my stay so comfortable.
Perfect location to stop over when driving down to the Cape. Only wish we could've stayed longer!
Hostess provides for R55 a braai packet with 2 chops and a piece of mutton sausage. Delicious barbecue on the stoep.
Beautiful and peaceful farm visit.
I have stayed here four times now and the reason is simple, you know you can expect cleanliness, comfort and friendly service.
We will definitely stay here again.
Fantastic place to spend the night and visit. Nice big clean farm pond for swimming, playground for children and also cycling routes among wildlife.
Travelling through the Karoo, this is a great overnight stay. Very central, cosy and safe. Lovely hosts. The farm has a stunning clean dam to swim in, beautiful fruit trees and Bonquet makes amazing apricot jam! Well worth the stay! We will most definitely stay with them again.
Most beautiful place and friendly service. Nice and clean small farm pond was great for the children to swim in. Was peaceful and felt very welcome.
We overnighted in the Bloubos Cottage. Warmly welcomed by Bonquet.
What a feast to be able to stay in such a beautiful place. Safe, easy and beautiful! So much for the kids to do and sooo much freedom. It is a jewel in the heart of the Karoo.
It was very pleasant and we enjoyed our stay there.
Very pleasant people and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Very nice experience and very neat.
Our stay was good. Just did not have a duvet on the bed, but the response was quick, and that is great service.
Andre and Bonquet made us feel at home even before we arrived through the WhatsApp message they sent earlier in the morning. Teenagers quickly felt at home, especially with the Wi-Fi password clearly visible upon entry. Thanks to Bonquet for welcoming us personally!
Farming full time in the Karoo and also maintaining the guest units cannot be easy. Nice stay and the host was extremely helpful and friendly!
Hassle-free, super friendly reception, everything clean and tidy, exceeded my expectations.
Variety of fruit trees, what a treat!
We stayed over in the charming Bloubos cottage on our way to Cape Town. Beautiful sunset and our son enjoyed the jungle gym and looking at the sheep. A note for sensitive sleepers - the fridge in our cottage was on the noisy side (the single beds are in the same room as the fridge and the double is through an open doorway).
Have a nice rest after a long trip with grandchildren.
We were welcomed by Bonquet who was friendly and very hospitable. She showed us around the nearby farm and allowed us to use their tennis court. My teenagers loved that. Bonquet told us the history of the farm and their family. The cottage was neat, clean and well laid out. Only let down was the Wi-Fi which was too weak to use in the cottage. Cellular data was faster. Loved seeing the birds, dogs, ducks, chickens and the rooster. The rooster woke us up at 04:00 with his crowing. Lovely farm experience.
Clean, quiet. Out of town. Lovely owners.
Will definitely stay there again and can recommend it to anyone driving that route.
I can recommend Rooidam Cottages to anyone who wants to spend the night on a peaceful Karoo farm after a long journey. Granat cottage is very well equipped with even an electric blanket which we enjoyed for the winter evening. They had biscuits and coffee in the room for us for the next morning's early departure. We were kindly received and would like to visit there again. Maybe just stay longer so we can walk more.
We can recommend them.
Only slept one night and left early again. Owners made sure we arrived safely plus everything was perfect when we got there. Neat, clean and nice location, would definitely stay there again.
We had a lovely overnight stay in the comfortable and tidy accommodation and would definitely recommend it as a place to stay the night.
We stayed in the camping area, in amongst the fruit trees, which was amazing! The sites are large, and the provided ablutions were clean and fully functioning. With prior arrangements, they even provided a bag of wood for an extra fee.
Restful. Host fantastic.
The visit in the Karoo was soul-invigorating.
Left very much alone to find our way around etc. Loadshedding certainly a disrupter.
Very quiet and safe.
Was pleasantly surprised with the accommodation and surroundings. Beautiful farm with walking trails, farm pond for swimming as well as a multitude of plants and birds. Private ablution facilities with hot water are a bonus! Host was friendly and reassuring. Just a pity we couldn't have stayed longer!
I would recommend Rooidam to all families with young children. Such a nice place to stay and swim in the pool after a long day on the road. The stars at night are amazing and the owners are very caring.
Campsite is tidy with its own log cabin containing a single gas stove and kettle. Also includes gas shower, sink and toilet. If pretty neat. Can recommend anytime. There is also a very cute little house that one can book if camping does not stir your heartstrings, or if you want to camp and your mother-in-law is also touring. Feel free to swim in the cool farm pond.
Neat house with all the necessary amenities.
Lovely unit with nice braai area. Hospitality unique to the Karoo.
It's the 2nd time we've spent the night at Rooidam and will definitely stay again!
Absolutely stunning stay. Thank you, we thoroughly enjoyed the Karoo atmosphere and the boys really enjoyed the farm pond.
It was now a really cool spot they have there! It's so beautiful among all the trees and all the birds and it's so nice and peaceful. Andre and his family were extremely friendly and I got the most delicious meat from them. Will definitely want to go there again!
Everything you need is there. Very nice and clean and would recommend Rooidam to everyone.
This is not our first visit to Rooidam Cottages & Campsites. Always tidy, safe and quiet.
Quiet, safe, and the private ablution and kitchenette are neat and clean. We will spend the night there again. The price is very reasonable.
Rooidam is located on the most beautiful Karoo farm. I stay here every time I come to work in the area and really enjoy it. The perfect place to come and switch off after a long journey and long hours of work.
All the way from Perth, Australia, passing through from CPT. Absolute breath of fresh air after a long drive. Amazing hospitality. Wish we could've stayed longer! Mark & Debs.
Thank you very much for allowing us to walk through the orchard and pick fruit that was still available. The unit was equipped with emergency lights in case of power outages (luckily we didn't need them). Spacious rooms, neat and clean, everything a person needs for an overnight stay. Thank you very much.
One of the Karoo's jewels. Thanks for the chicken egg and delicious oranges!
Rooidam is the one place we sleep over and over again, and will always go back to. It is so beautiful and peaceful. We had a great barbecue, and the next morning one of the hens came to lay an egg in the barbecue area. It was so cute.
Very friendly and clean.
We had a great time, the hostess is wonderful and the cottage we stayed in has all the necessary facilities. Would have liked to stay longer.
Very peaceful and relaxed, received with Karoo hospitality. Will definitely use Roodiam Cottages & Campsites as overnight accommodation again and highly recommend it to other travellers.
Highly recommended! Amazing hosts! Felt right at home!
The hostess, Bonquet, is such a genuine, wonderful person. We really enjoyed her company while she showed us the farm. We had a great time. Will definitely come again.
Friendly reception and very neat accommodation.
The accommodation was neat and very clean. Well-equipped kitchen and a lovely barbecue area. We slept wonderfully on a nice bed. Everything you wanted is there. Thank you for the privilege of being able to enjoy your farm and surroundings.
Beautiful place and friendly owners who upgraded us free of charge to a more suitable unit before our arrival. Will definitely stop here again and visit!
It was peaceful and quiet and the cottage is very well equipped. Will stay there again for sure. I like to stay outside towns because it is calmer and quieter. Rooidam is definitely the place to stay and it's only 10km outside of Britstown. Would recommend the place anytime.
The host was super friendly and the cottage was lovely.
We stayed here on our way to Kimberley. The farm was easy to find even in the dark. The cottage was well equipped and the owners received us with hospitality. Everything was comfortable and we had a great stay for sure!
Bonquet was very hospitable. Facilities are well equipped and clean. It was perfect for our one night stay over from the Cape.
Andre and Bonquet are the ideal host and hostess. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome. We stayed in two different units (Karee and Granaat) on April 12 and April 22. The units are very neat, clean and fully equipped with everything you need. We would stay there again anytime.
We and our 2 weimaraners were immediately welcomed by Bonquet Raath. The place was neat and clean and smelled nice, with the most beautiful wildflowers on the table. The most beautiful view from the stoepie to the Rooidam and the windmills. The eucalyptus trees in front block a bit too much of the view and the starry splendor in the evening, but otherwise it is a wonderfully furnished braai stoepie. Perfect for two, a bit tight for 4 or like us with 2 big dogs, but it's livable. Well recommended.
My second time staying at Rooidam and will definitely go back again. Very peaceful, beautiful, neat, perfect for field walks and the units are well equipped.
It was comfortable and safe for my puppy. I could take her for a walk. Everything was nice and clean.
Friendly people very hospitable make you feel welcome.
My uncle Frik du Preez was there with us and said that Rooidam was a top quality rest stop and that he was happy to recommend them. André and Bonquet received us so hospitably and helped us with everything we needed. Absolutely a must between Gauteng and the Cape.
Nice host, neat place, beautiful surroundings.
Andre welcomed us kindly, what a beautiful overnight facility clean and tidy. The accommodation offers everything and more for overnight stays or even longer. Bonus is that you can also take your animals with you. Would recommend to any person.
We love staying on a farm. Got nice fresh fruit and was able to pick.
Wonderful stay! Nice pond to swim in! Beautiful farm to walk around after a long journey. Friendly farm owner! Beautiful starry sky!
Friendly and helpful, and really appreciate the boiling water supplied, during load shedding.
Incredibly peaceful environment where one can switch off. I was able to walk through the orchard and farm yard and experience every facet of the farm operations. Early morning walk with Bonquet was very special. I can recommend anyone to stay at Rooidam Cottages & Campsites.
The host is very accommodating as we were running very late. He gave clear instructions on how to get to the campsite from the gate.
I would stay there again and recommend it.
Good birding, nice facilities at camp site.
Neat accommodation. Will recommend.
Everything was neat. Thoroughly enjoyed it and André was very helpful with everything.
Easily accessible from N12 and comfortable stay.
Even with our late arrival in the evening, we were received kindly. Beautiful and neat house with everything you need for an overnight stay. Only criticism: the place feels cramped with all the beautiful furniture. The baby animal had to be kept on a leash the whole time, because there were already guests with 2 dogs.
Unit felt a bit run down but we slept well, great quality beds!
The overnight cottage was neat and nice on the farm.
The people are very friendly. Place is neat and clean. Will be able to recommend it.
The owners only informed us on the day of arrival that if the power is off, there is no water either. The power we fully understand but I feel it's withholding information, if they didn't mention it when booking and we demand a refund. They knew we were traveling with a 2 year old, power we could work even more but no water is unacceptable.
Very nice stay and will come back again for a longer visit.
Thank you for a lovely overnight stay on a beautiful farm.
I would suggest that the WiFi be upgraded.
It's our 2nd time at Rooidam and this time with children. We had a great stay, children played well and we were very grateful for the aircon in the room. Well equipped. Thank you very much!
The perfect half way overnight from the north to the Cape.
Had a wonderful overnight stay. Ordered our braai packs and buns in advance and André already had everything ready for us.
It was a lovely clean and tidy place to spend the night on the way to Cape Town. Thank you very much, we can recommend the place.
The unit is very neat and very beautiful, with all the necessary facilities as well as a friendly hostess who will quickly make you feel at home. Perfect for a stopover on the way from the Western Cape or Gauteng. Even equipped for caravans and camping.
Can recommend Rooidam. Thank you very much.
Very friendly reception until 23:00.
Bring your sausages and chops, your coals and lighters and enjoy the self-catering kitchen. Take a nice bath or shower and sleep well. Get up early and drink your coffee with a biscuit on the porch and watch the sun rise.
Was a great experience! Would have liked to stay longer! The tranquility was good for my soul! Garnet has everything one needs! Thank you Andre for your hospitality and care!
Everything is neat and clean and very well organized. The host goes out of his way to help with barbecue suits etc.
Unit was clean and tidy.
Ideal one night stop. With the friendly welcome and comfortable stay, we would have liked to stay longer.
My dog was very welcome and had the freedom to go for a walk on the farm with her. Sommer felt very welcome, friendly reception and we were also provided with braai packages, wood and delicious buns to be able to braai. Really accommodation to recommend.
1. Very friendly welcome. 2. Nice accommodation and braai facilities to sit quietly on the stoep and enjoy the evening. 3. Everything very neat and clean. 4. Including all amenities one needs to spend the night. 5. Pet Friendly and we had a lovely walk with our dog on the farm, in the evening and early morning. We will definitely sleep over again and we think it is time for us to sleep outside of towns instead, because farm life is so nice. We really enjoyed it, thank you.
It's not the first time we've spent the night here and it won't be the last either. Rooidam is ideally located, neat, comfortable and definitely value for money. Thanks again for your hospitality Andre.
Rooidam is from now on our overnight stop when we go to the Cape. It's so comfortable to get there from the N12, and we felt 100% safe with all the luggage and bikes on the trolley through the night. The kitchen has everything a knife needs and the beds are comfortable and warm. We were able to stretch our legs after the long drive and explore the farm. Our only regret is that we didn't take a tip with us for the spotless barbecue on our porch.
Thank you very much Andre. We rested very well. Your units are very well equipped and very beautiful. We really enjoyed the farm atmosphere. We will definitely visit again.
Comfortable cottage with cute bathroom and cooking facilities. Friendly reception.
We were very kindly received by our hostess, Bonquet and had the privilege of walking around the farm with her. The apartment is well furnished and spotlessly clean. Comfortable beds, warm bedding, electric blankets and heaters to ward off winter chills.
Very friendly and hospitable reception, immediately felt at home.
Quiet and peaceful on the farm!
Will stay there again.
What a pleasant overnight stop on the way to the South Cape. Here people can stay longer and really rest.
Great bath, great food.
Beautiful, peaceful surroundings with friendly host.
Bonquet and André made us feel so at home. It is beautiful on the farm and the unit we stayed in is fully equipped. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We will visit again for sure.
Our stay at Roodiam was fantastic. Fresh air in the Karoo at its best. We will surely see you again.
People are friendly, silence is nice.
Karee cottage on Rooidam farm just south of Britstown, provided everything we needed (and more!) after a long day's drive. It's cosy, neat and clean, cozy furnished and has the most beautiful view from the front door and kitchen window - I would stand there all day washing dishes. Sunsets in the Karoo bring, together with the palpable silence, a tranquility in you like nowhere else. A good bed and shower are always of the utmost importance and this was certainly the case. We slept like rocks! Thank you for your hospitable reception Andre, sorry we couldn't meet Bonquet. Hopefully we will see you again in the future!
The place was beautiful and tidy and the owners were very hospitable.
The cottage had everything one needed. Will want to stay longer next time to explore a bit more of the farm.
Beautiful and neat place, hospitable people, exceptional location. It was nice to just sit back and enjoy the sunset.
Calm and quiet. Beautiful feel singing especially at night.
Beautiful accommodation, spotless and so comfortable. Small piece of dirt road is in good condition. Reception was cordial. Love the informational tidbits in the room that share history of the farm. See you again soon!!
We thoroughly enjoyed Rooidam! We enjoyed a drink on Granaat's roof with a view over the field, we swam in the stone pond, we ate some of the farm's prickly pears that André cleaned and kept cool for us! We were kindly welcomed after receiving all the necessary logistical arrangements well in advance - everything was just perfect! Many thanks to André and Bonquet.
After a long journey we were able to relax wonderfully in the peaceful farm atmosphere. We were kindly received by André and Bonquet. The neat, air-conditioned living unit is well equipped. It was lovely to relax outside under a shade tree, with the chirping of birds in the background.
This was my fourth visit to Rooidam - it must show that André and Bonquet are doing something right, eh! Very neat accommodation and the hospitality that I am already used to. In addition, it is wonderful to be able to sleep in air conditioning when the Karoosun is doing its best with a 37°C day!
Staying overnight at Rooidam is like staying for a while on the farm you've always dreamed of. From swimming in the farm pond to stargazing as the sunbag. Not to mention the wonderful birdlife and natural scenes with which one is surrounded. When you feel the creaking of the wooden floors under your feet and see the charm of the antique furniture in the cottages, you suddenly know where you come from. It's a beautiful place!
The cottage is very neat and clean. Nicely furnished. We were kindly received.
We had a wonderful stay. Place is neat and everything you need for an overnight stay. Restful.
Everything was so beautiful and neat. The Karoo and its people are just special. Very nice farm. I'll just sleep an extra night next time.
Very neat and clean, host and hostess very friendly and helpful, conveniently located near main road, nice to barbecue under the stars.
I would recommend Rooidam to anyone. In the Karoo it is so peaceful and the place is tidy. They definitely see us again.
Already slept at many places. This one stands out. Owner was very friendly and helpful. Beautiful farm next to the N12. Incredibly tidy with everything you need. Wonderful farm swimming pool for the children (and parents).
See stars.
Real genuine farm accommodation and Karoo hospitality complete with a lovely farm pond to swim in. Everything was very clean and tidy. We will probably sleep over at Rooidam again.
Quiet farm atmosphere.
Very relaxing. Beautiful place with the most beautiful houses and caravan/campsite. The people are very hospitable and friendly! Definitely won't make a mistake visiting there!
Nice place with a cozy porch and barbecue area. Great silence and farm feel very much enjoyed. Even though I also come from the farm, I appreciate it.
Lovely hostess who made us feel welcome and comfortable. Beautiful grounds, typical Karoo scenery. Perfect place for peace and quiet. Seven year old in our party loved it. Can't wait to return.
Units very well equipped with everything you could need. Enjoy the Karoo and grill a lamb chop!
We were received very friendly and hospitable and we immediately felt at home. The cottage is very neat and all the amenities are available. It is very safe and peaceful.
We had a wonderful overnight stay on Roodiam. Would definitely recommend it. Well located and close to the main road, but not so close that cars can bother.
Very friendly reception. The sheep shearing was an experience!
Quiet place to stay overnight in the Karoo. Real oasis.
It's now the third time I've stayed at Rooidam, and it's still very tidy and the service very friendly, as I'm used to. It was also a real experience to be able to rest in a wonderfully cool bedroom in wickedly hot weather. I recommend Rooidam with pleasure.
The silence was wonderful after a long day's drive.
Friendly, efficient reception, even though we were an hour later than planned. Delicious, comfortable braai on the stoep, with everything one might need. Comfortable beds and good quality linen. Breathtaking starry sky on sale.
Lovely farm atmosphere. Lots of birds.
Beds cracked and old. Unfortunately, the master bedroom's pillows were shabby. Toilet bowl is cracked.
Good location for travel and overnight. Particularly friendly and hospitable reception. The "farm yard" and access to walking and available fruit is a big plus.
Warm, peaceful farmhouse that had everything we needed.
Lovely Karoo nights in silence with millions of stars in the sky. The birds calmed us down for the night and woke us up early the next morning.
We were received so kindly, our dogs were welcomed, beautifully clean, lovely walk, nice visit, early morning quickly back on N12.
Was wonderfully quiet and peaceful.
Very peaceful place to spend the night. Little road noise so you can spend the night peacefully.
People are hospitable, very safe and clean. Will definitely stay there again. It was just nice to sleep over at such a guest farm.
Truly a lovely place to stretch out or spend the night. Everything you need is there. Took the most beautiful sunset photos capturing the absolute tranquility of a Karroo farm. Compliments to the host. Will definitely stay there again, even a day or two longer with the nice farm dam pool.
The host made sure we were home. Really very good value for money. Will definitely stay here again if we visit the region again. We had such a comfortable stay.
Cottage is well equipped for self-catering. There is even a barbecue at each cottage. Nice and private because cottages are located in such a way that guests will not disturb each other. Very close to the N12, but far enough that traffic cannot be heard. Good communication from the owners about routes and gate code etc. We come again.
Everything you expect and more. Comfortable, clean and peaceful. Very safe and friendly people.
We had a great time on the farm! Nice swimming in the clean farm pond.
It was very nice to be able to take a bath with nice-smelling bath salts. Relax after a long day of driving.
Nice place and recommend it to anyone. Would stay there again anytime.
Delicious barbecue and swimming. Very nice place to stay and you can easily stay another night.
The units are comfortable and private. Andre's hospitality is excellent.
We had a great time cooling off in the farm pond.
It was lovely to experience the tranquility of a farm and hear the chirping of birds after a long journey.
One should stay longer and not consider it just an overnight stop. It is very peaceful and one can fully enjoy nature. Hospitable people who immediately make you feel at home.
Just about everything you want after a day on the road.
Very nice old farm feel. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Nice swimming in the cement farm pond. Even a tennis court! They had biscuits and coffee in the room for us for the next morning's early departure. Children loved the dogs and the ducklings. There are braai facilities and we had a great barbecue and slept well. Already left early in the morning and the whole process was extremely easy.
The farm atmosphere made us yearn for bygone days. Quiet and peaceful. We could not hear the traffic on the main road at all.
It was our first time but we will definitely go there again. It is peaceful and away from all the road noise.
It was a real gem in the desert. Most incredible sunrise I've seen in a long time. Warm friendly reception and clean cottage. Thank you.
It is a very nice place to stay over, halfway to Cape Town. The rooms are well equipped and very neat, clean and safe.
Place was very nice, clean and owner very friendly and accommodating.
Wonderful place to relax. The place is safe. A good place to stay when travelling far.
The accommodation is for sure 4 star and not 3 star. It was an oasis for us and we will want to stay at Rooidam cottages every time.
Cute place to stay, friendly host, excellent location.
Good halfway stop from Cape to Pretoria. Located near N12 with good dirt road to home and units.
Karoovlaktes' silence speaks volumes. Hostess really made an effort to make me feel at home, and make it a pleasant experience.
Farm atmosphere with neat unit. Kitchen well equipped.
Very nice place. The accommodation was clean and tidy. We really felt welcome, with an excellent good host and hostess. The farm and surroundings are picturesque. We had full access to walk around the farm, which we enjoyed terribly. We felt like family, just sorry our time was so short to spend there.
Location - far enough from N12 that traffic doesn't bother. Beautiful views over wide landscape with breathtaking sunset and sunrise. Good communication about location and access to farm. Kitchen has everything you need for self-catering. Braai has its own clean grill. Rooms are very comfortable and make me miss grandma. Great mattress. Bathroom has very nice large shower with adjustable shower head and comfortable corner bath. We had a really nice overnight stay.
Very neat and clean. Well appointed with lovely clean white linen. Breathtaking view of the farm and a friendly welcome. Will definitely stay there again.
Very quiet environment and far enough from the highway not to hear the highway noise.
There is a very peaceful atmosphere with a lovely farm pond to swim in and genuine Karoo hospitality. We would stay here again.
Lovely farm cottage stay. Cottage is very well equipped and comfortable. Beautiful surroundings and safe. Would stay a few nights to experience the farm living.
Thank you very much. We had a great stay at Rooidam Cottages. Owners are friendly and helpful. It's a very convenient halfway stop between Pretoria and the West Coast. Lovely farm pond to cool off in the heat and children were very impressed with the farm life, even if the red ants bit a bit.
Peaceful and calm environment.
It was lovely staying at Rooidam Cottages. The place was lovely and clean and all the little extra touches made it extra special. It is also beautiful there.
This is a beautiful Karoo farm. Neat, clean units with a lovely clean farm pond against the Karoo heat. Can definitely recommend.
See stars.
Beautiful place and surroundings, friendly and personal reception.
You should not miss this place if your route is through Britstown to the Cape and you are looking for overnight accommodation. Our unit even had a stargazing roof. Fantastic.
Lovely overnight stay on the farm. Friendly reception, clean and tidy.
Had a great time, swimming in the pond was very nice! Good and friendly reception.
We were met by Andre as we arrived who welcomed us and answered any questions we had enthusiastically. The cottages are well maintained and we even found beds long enough. The location and the atmosphere is a great refreshing energy top up.
Clean, neat, value for money, very, very nice.
A very nice place, lovely surroundings, everything you need.
Friendly service. Neat and conveniently located.
Animal friendly. Incredible barbecue packs, salad and barbecue buns provided. Definitely recommendable.
What a lovely surprise to arrive at these places to stay. It exceeded all expectations. It is clean with all facilities and the farm atmosphere was so peaceful with the animals and birds. Andre is a great host and immediately brought wood when we asked. Would recommend to any person. Thank you for a lovely stay Andre.
We stayed one night from Limpopo to Cape Town. Arrived late and checked out early, but Andre made sure we had everything we needed. The unit is very nice and tidy.
We were warmly received. We felt very much at home. There was nothing missing. Quiet, safe and well equipped.
The best in the Karoo, safe and comfortable.
Genuine country friendliness.
Neat accommodation with Karoo silence.
The place is beautiful and well-equipped. Will stay there again.
Nice place in the Karoo.
The place is wonderful. It felt like we could move in there.
Rooidam is a peaceful place where you are welcomed with open arms. Even the little lambs came to greet us and for our teenagers from the city, it was great to be able to feed them with a bottle. The cottage that we stayed in was beautiful, clean and neat. It was our second time at Rooidam and we will definitely stay there again.
Rooidam Cottages is very well located. The accommodation is well-appointed, clean and excellent value for money. Andre's communication was excellent and their care and attention to detail make Rooidam Cottages a special place to stay overnight and experience the tranquillity of the Karoo. Would highly recommend it.
Beautiful accommodation. Would've liked to stay linger. Bonquet is a lovely warm person that will make you want to definitely visit again. Karoo accommodation at its best.
See stars.
Clean, comfortable and very friendly. Book here and make sure you look up and appreciate the stars!
Peaceful, was a surprise.
The facilities were fantastic, the location excellent and the people very friendly.
Ons was reisigers van Gauteng af, het by die kampplek oornag én in die cottage die volgende dag, sal dit vir enige iemand aanbeveel. Die diens was uitstekend en die uitsig fantasties! Dankie aan almal wat ons gehelp het met die bespreking en 'n groot dankie aan almal by Rooidam Cottage wat ons so tuis laat voel het.
An awesome, tranquil Karoo experience for those who love the outdoors and basic simplicity of life. Great plains, fare away mountains and whispering winds! Life is bliss here!
Beautiful place. Nice and close to the road but still quiet. Ideal for long distance driving.
Rooidam is beautiful, neat and peaceful. The owners are friendly and helpful. We'll definitely stay there again.
What a great place to stay overnight and even longer if you are touring the Cape like I did with my mum and sister. It is beautiful, clean and tidy. The campsite is so wonderfully set up that we didn't even need to unpack terribly. With your own bathroom and kitchenette, it made our overnight stay so comfortable that we had time for a walk on the farm and we could enjoy the breathtaking sunset. We were simply spoiled with cake and tea while we had to wait for a thunderstorm to pass. The hospitality is first class. The place was food for my soul. Highly recommend.
The host was friendly and caring. Made sure I had mosquito repellent and also provided braai wood.
We had a nice stay. Everything you need and can definitely recommend. Hospitable people.
I will definitely stay there again. We had a friendly welcome in this neat and spacious unit. The location is 1 km from the road and wonderful. It is a beautiful farm in the quiet Karoo with the bright stars at night. This accommodation is good value for money.
I loved our short style at Rooidam Cottages. The farm style character and all the decor detail was lovely and as an artist I loved it! Andre and his lovely wife went the extra mile to make sure we were accommodated, found our way safely to them and welcomed us with fresh fruit and rusks, never experienced such hospitality! 5 stars from me!
What a great way to end our vacation on a high note! From the warm welcome, cooling off in the farm pond (heavenly), stargazing on the roof, a real Karoo barbecue, beautiful cottage with cool air conditioning to saying goodbye in the morning, our stay was one big festival. We will come back again and again.
We spent one night in the campsite as this was our halfway stop on our way home. We don't regret it for a second. The accommodation was wonderful! Each camp stand has its own ablutions and kitchen area and it's so neat. There is a lovely farm dam to cool off on hot days. The campsite is close to the orchards for that authentic farm feeling with the smell of fresh fruit and blossoms. The owners are very friendly and always willing to assist if ever you need anything, from braai wood, ice, to braai packs for sale. Do pay them a visit!
Andre and Bonquet warmly welcomed us on their farm. The pomegranate house was a big festival for children - especially the roof where in the evening we would lie on the roof (on camping mattresses that Bonquet brought especially for the children) together as a family and look at the stars. It was very special! Nice barbecue in the Karoo. It was all neat, clean and well furnished. We will definitely come again.
Nice with kids with big space. The farm pond was lovely and children really enjoyed it. Aircon helps a lot. Will sleep there again.
Rooidam is definitely a lovely oasis after a long day's travel. The peaceful farm environment and Karoo silence together with a neat, clean house of your own is a winning combination. Many thanks to the kind host, I would definitely highly recommend this exceptional place.
We were very kindly received by Andre. Granaat cottage is very pleasant, clean and neat. After a long journey, we had a lovely walk in the veld and got up well rested and ready to tackle the rest of our long journey home.
Very nice hostess. Calm and enjoyed the lovely silence.
We were kindly received. The owner immediately made us feel at ease and showed us everything. The facilities are first class, everything is clean and neat. Can't ask for anything better. The price was also very reasonable. Will definitely stay there again. Thank you very much.
Thank you for the night's accommodation, it was very pleasant. The mosquitoes just bothered us a bit.
Friendly reception and well-equipped accommodation. Everything neat and clean. Ideal overnight facility between the Cape and Gauteng.
Very hospitable and friendly owners provided last minute items for braai, which was an incredible enjoyment under the stars.
We had a lovely stay, hospitality was excellent, are was beautiful and peaceful.
It's nice to be able to stay at a place a second time because you know what to expect, and then afterwards you're still a happy guest! As before, als was ideal and it is the perfect place as a halfway mark on a long and hot road. Was able to use the nice swimming pool this time and of course the air conditioning was extremely welcome in the 37/38° heat. André and Bonquet, "keep going!"
Friendly welcome and comfortable overnight stay.
We were traveling to the north and only stayed one night. Spacious, neat cottage with all the facilities we could use for a braai. Pleasant environment.
Good, affordable accommodation, hospitality, food, place to stay very pleasant. Will stay with them again, no doubt.
Had a nice time. Rooidam Cottages were very neat and we were received kindly.
Good atmosphere to relax and enjoy nature.
See stars.
We were warmly received by André. Everything was clean, comfortable and the place of residence is well equipped. Nice barbecue and our unit's barbecue area private and out of sight of the main house. Will definitely stay there again.
Everything was clean and tidy. The hostess and host even helped us with braai suits and wood, because Britstown has no shops open on a Sunday afternoon.
Had a great rest after a long drive, was a little wary of safety but that is because I was a victim of a farm attack. The hospitality was outstanding.
Will camp again with Janfrederik. The cottages are large and have lots of space inside and heating too - perfect for winter.
The house is well equipped, very nice braai area, neat and clean.
Unit was very neat and clean.
We enjoyed the tranquil atmosphere very much.
Would recommend Rooidam to anyone. We were warmly welcomed by Boquet and Andre. Genuine hearted people. It was so peaceful, really appreciated the Karoo silence. Our cottages were immaculately clean, with delicious coffee and biscuits. Accommodation was perfect for us to take the long way to Cape and back to Gauteng, thanks again for allowing us to spend the night at Rooidam.
Our reception was warm, and our needs taken into account. Nice swim in the cement pond which was just the right medicine after a long drive.
Pleasant stay, will stay there anytime.
What a wonderful place we were welcomed with warmth and simply felt part of the farm life! My little ones wouldn't drive any further we will definitely make this a future stop over!
The owner is very hospitable! Provided us with wood and lightning! Was an awesome experience at Roodiam Cottages! Couldn't ask for anything better!
Rooidam Cottages are for people who are looking for peace and quiet.
Nice and close to the main road. The farm dam was lovely after the long road.
I used Rooidam Cottages as a stopover on my way to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Britstown is sort of halfway between home and our destination. The camping area is situated under huge shade trees, each site has its own ablution and kitchen, there is a Weber braai on site and there is a power point on each site. Rooidam is a working farm so I am sure one will be able to watch the goings on on the farm if staying for longer periods. There is a beautiful swimming pool which is a renovated reservoir and is sparkling clean. It is very secure and I will recommend Rooidam Cottages to anyone who is travelling via Britstown.
I wish I could stay permanently in one of those cottages. I'm in love with the Karoo and its houses and the absolute beautiful tranquility. Thank you to the owners of Rooidam for your hospitality and effort, it makes the long road every kilometer worth it.
For travellers commuting from the north to the south, this is a definite stayover for anyone. Clean, comfortable, homely accommodation and safe. The hosts are friendly, helpful and obliging. A definite stayover for us again.
Very nice stay. Friendly service and very nice location.
As Australians travelling in South Africa we love the small family-owned accommodation options across the country that provide a good-value stay with a local feel. Rooidam Cottages, just off the N12, was a perfect stop. We stayed in Karee Cottage which was was very comfortable and beautifully furnished. We enjoyed reading the information provided about the farm, being able to go for a long walk on the afternoon of our arrival, and then sitting outside our cottage to watch the sun go down over the vast Karoo landscape. Andre was a gracious and welcoming host. We would love to return one day.
Very friendly owners.
Rooidam is recommended without reserve.
Beautiful Karoo cottages. Silver clean. Stayed with our 2 Schnauzers and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves too. Would definitely recommend and stay overnight again should we travel in that direction.
Although André was not at Rooidam Cottages, we were warmly welcomed by Frans. The location is lovely and quiet and enjoyed walking around the farm. The accommodation was most comfortable and we would be more than happy to visit Rooidam again.
If you want to get away to a relaxing area, this is the lace to be. Us nature freaks will go back anytime.
Peaceful, clean and safe. We will come again!
Lovely! Our type of people (Karoo farm people). We regret not staying longer, but will definitely return for a longer stay. Worth every penny!
Cozy, beautiful accommodation, fireplace and wood available, really enjoyed our overnights, really quiet and relaxing.
Neat, tidy and so well equipped. A joy to saddle up here in the Karoo!
Wat 'n aangename oorslaapplek terug van Dwarskersbos op pad Vaaldriehoek toe. Net wat 'n mens nodig het na 'n lang reis. Pragtige, rustige atmosfeer op 'n plaas net buite Britstown waar jy in die dam kan swem. Baie vriendelik ontvang. Kan die plekkie enige tyd aanbeveel.
After a long day's travel, it is the ideal place to sleep over, but not just sleep over. Go for a walk on the farm, see how bright the stars shine and wake up in the morning with birds whistling/singing/chatting. The hospitality of the owners also always makes you feel at home and welcome.
We had a wonderful stay, stargazing, swimming, looking for nocturnal animals. Many thanks to all the Raaths!
It was very pleasant and peaceful. The owners are very hospitable and it is also nice that our dog was welcome. The upstairs bedroom has an aircon, it would only be nice if there could also be a fan downstairs in the kitchen. The Karoo can get really hot.
Very well equipped and clean units. We will definitely stay there again. Thank you for your hospitality.
The host and hostess are very hospitable, friendly and helpful. Wood, meat and extras are available if required. Conveniently close to main road and easily accessible. Felt very safe. Units neat and clean.
Very neat place with great air conditioning when it's 42° outside.
See stars.
The kitchen was adequate but not complete. Few utensils compared to other places (looked for potato masher). Could sleep nice and warm with heaters and warm blankets. The upper wooden floor was very noisy and cold air penetrated everywhere. No generator when power out. The 9 o'clock check out was a bit uncomfortable and was unnecessary for me as we were traveling long distances and getting up early was difficult. Otherwise a nice place to sleep close to the road and the town. Pleasant host and hostess. A pleasant overnight destination.
The children thoroughly enjoyed it. The door to the roof to view the stars was a winner. The hostess made an effort to help us with bread for the evening. Also enjoyed the oranges from the orchards.
Our hosts provided braai packs and wood, as we requested. Everything to our satisfaction.
Would definitely recommend this as an overnight facility between Gauteng and the Cape.
Lekker rustig, braai, skoon, spasie en koel binne na lang dag op die pad. Speelplek vir die kinders en groot badkamer.
Perfect hostess. Lovely accommodation. Goes out of her way to make you feel special.
Our cottage unit had lots of old world character, yet with good modern amenities. Beautifully quiet with great, attentive service.
Roodiam is located close to the road, with an approximately one kilometer dirt road that is in excellent condition. Accommodation is spacious and comfortable and a good place to relax.
Very pleasant. Excellent hostess.
This wasn't our first time. Each time we enjoyed our stay. The cottage was warm and cosy. Thank you to Rooidam and staff.
My work people were not happy at all and looked for other accommodation. Can't sleep on the beds. Can't cook either because the stove doesn't work properly.
Really enjoyed our short stay. See you again as soon as we leave.
André and Bonquet received us generously and made us feel very welcome. The farm dam was a winner with all of us after the long and far drive. The rooms are very comfortably furnished.
It's our second time at Rooidam. There are few things as nice as their "farm pond" pool. Andre-they are very friendly, the rooms are large, the bedding new and clean and we always feel at home. The farm is very close to the town for something to eat (if you don't want to barbecue).
Rooidam was a wonderful place to spend the night. The Karee cottage was clean, tidy and equipped with everything we would need. The bed was very comfortable, and we had a great barbecue together with the beautiful Karoo sunset. Will definitely stay there again!
Really great value for money. Soul soothing! We got some great rest before we had to hit the road for the final stretch home. we will definitely stay here again. And the little Dachshund is adorable!
Thank you for welcoming me with some delicious pancakes freshly made, farm-style. I will certainly stop over next time I travel North. Fond regards.
I want to thank Bonguet and André for an excellent stay at their Karee unit. The hospitality given to us was absolutely awesome! We arrived quite late and still they were very friendly and helpful and had everything ready for us to braai and to relax after our trip from Cape Town. Immediately we felt at home. The unit was very clean and comfortable. We had a good night's rest with the quietness and felt very safe on their farm. The next morning we wandered around on their farm before we left. Both, my husband and I just didn't want to leave for our trip back to Johannesburg. We would definitely recommend for anyone to stay over and to enjoy. Thank you very much once again, Bonquet and André - you are excellent hosts! Very much appreciated!
Comfortable units. Good communication from owners. I definitely recommend it!
Very calm and safe stay on a farm. Accommodation has everything you need and it is clean.
An unforgettable experience of comfort and country hospitality. I wish we could stay longer.
Rooidam's host en hostess really makes you feel at home and put in a lot of effort. Attention is paid to the smallest detail and we would love to go back there. We already informed our friends and family of this place.
I enjoyed it so much! Now that was value for money, and the people are friendly and helpful. There is more than enough privacy with a gorgeous area. Will definitely go again.
Hospitality, service and accommodation fantastic.
See the stars.
We enjoyed the stay, location good, close to highway, houses comfortably furnished, even aircon. Would definitely go back there and recommend to others.
Friendly reception, neat and clean facilities, nice overnight accommodation. Will definitely be returning. We felt safe.
We really enjoyed our stay there and would like to stay longer. Will stay there again if we travel the same route to the Cape again. Nice farm swimming pool!
Easily accessible, neat and comfortable. Nothing about the ad is exaggerated or untrue. Highly recommend.
Exceptional service and hospitality. Unity is just outside Britstown but so that you can experience dead silence. Air conditioning, farm swimming pool and hiking trails to stretch the legs make it nice at first. If you have to mention something, it is that the beds creak a little when you turn over. Perfect place that we will definitely visit again.
See stars.
It was really a pleasant stay! Nothing to complain about and will definitely be returning! We stayed in the Rooigranaat. Thank you for your hospitality and politeness.
I can recommend Roodiam. The owners received us kindly and made an effort to make us feel comfortable and at home. I would definitely stay there again.
Our accommodation exceeded our expectations. Hospitable and the children enjoyed it a lot, especially the swim in the farm dam. Unit was very well-equipped with everything that you need and more. Beds are good quality and the linen too. Will definitely stop there again.
We had a lovely night's rest. Very clean and tidy. Will definitely stay there again.
Very friendly and efficient service, one feels welcome and it has everything you need! I would really like to stay there for longer in the future. The satisfaction of their guests/visitors are clearly important to Rooidam's people. I recommend this place with a clear conscience.
The ideal overnight from the north to south. Neat, clean and so relaxing. Very hospitable reception. Wish we could've stayed longer.
The host made us feel at home immediately.
Our stay at Rooidam was a very pleasant and interesting experience. The hosts Andre and Bonquet have a rich family history which they share in their pamphlet. They are very friendly and kind hosts. The farm house is like an oasis in the arid wilderness and the birdlife is quite prolific.
Great location on the road from North West to West Coast. Lovely, peaceful farm atmosphere. Neat, comfortable with braai facilities.
See the stars.
Enjoyed the quiet after a long day (8 hours plus) of travel. Feel free to tackle the last part the next day. It remains our preferred stopover between Cape Town and Johannesburg/Pretoria.

Very friendly host and hostess, interesting info brochure.
It was a special experience that we could share with our kids. The accommodation was neat and the owners were the friendliest people we've ever met. We really enjoyed our time here and would recommend Rooidam Cottages to anyone. Would really consider going back to stay for longer.
It was such a nice, beautiful, clean cottage. You don't even want to leave, wonderful hospitality and we even left with a little Dachshund (we're calling her "Karoo"). I'm already planning my trip for December 2017, and will definitely stay at Rooidam on my journey. I really recommend it! Lovely wood and Karoo chops for the braai (buy from owner), wonderful farm dam for the heat. Good for your soul to wake up there.
It was truly a home away from home. My daughter, her friend and I were on the farm on our way to Cape Town on Christmas Eve. And it was wonderful spending the night in the beautiful Karoo. Firstly we had a nice cooldown in the farm dam, and then I took to the veld for a walk, later we braai'd some meat, drank some wine and just appreciated the beauty of the Karoo. The hostess also went out of her way to make our stay pleasant. Thank you so much once again.
I spent many holidays with my grandmother in Britstown as a child so it was a very good experience for me. Apartment was neat and clean. And the air-con helped a lot with the worst heat.
I would recommend Rooidam Cottages anytime if people are on their way to the Cape. The children especially enjoyed swimming in the farm pond and also the horse riding. The service from André was excellent and we were treated very hospitably. I will definitely use them again.
It was a nice and safe overnight destination that was well equipped.
Don't ask permission to stop and rest, just do it at Rooidam Cottages! You are personally received, a beautiful clean house is ready for you, the cool farm dam is refreshing and you become part of the Karoo night's silence charming your soul.
True hospitality, charming destination.
Wonderful night on the stunning Karoo farm. The clean farm dam was a welcoming cool off place. Will definitely go back. Thank you for the hospitality.
Nice, peaceful farm atmosphere.
A beautiful cottage with excellent facilities. Karoo hospitality at its best. The farmyard is close to the highway, but you don't hear the traffic at all.
The cottage is comfortable, clean and tidy. Ideal for halfway to Cape Town from Gauteng. It was a refreshing overnight stop - spacious, clean, friendly welcome. Will definitely stay here again!
Only stayed on night. Neat, clean and great hospitality. Comfortable overnight spot on the way to the Cape.
Very well furnished, tidy. Very friendly hostess. A real oasis!
The guesthouse is well located right next to the N12 and only 10 km from Britstown. You don't need anything else when you stay here. The silence on the farm is overwhelming! Lovely. We had a great dinner at the hotel and marvelled at all the interesting things in the restaurant.
Everything clean and tidy, one will easily be able to relax here for more than just one day/night.
The owners, Andre and Bonquet Raath are absolutely hospitable and professional. From the moment we landed there, they made us feel at home. They went out of their way to see to our needs. The accommodation is neat and well maintained and meets all one's needs. We could easily stay there for a few days.
Well equipped unit, neatly maintained in a very peaceful environment.
We were much more than we expected We experienced the karoo experience in a nutshell with nice accommodation and the hospitality that goes with it We will definitely make an effort to stay there again.
Thank you André for the stay at Rooidam! From the moment I arrived and you met me at the apartment, my stay was a pleasant and comfortable one. The attention to detail regarding the facilities the welcome and also the keeping in contact with me prior to my arrival. All was done on an informal yet professional manner, reflecting the care and interest from the owners. Yes, I have recommended many people to stay there and found out that some of my friends had done so before me! Thank you to the Raath family.
Rooidam is part of our holiday. This peaceful farm atmosphere gives you rest for soul and body.
It was a lovely place to rest after a long journey. Sorry I couldn't stay longer. Very friendly host and wife.
Rooidam is ideally located between Johannesburg and Cape Town and that's the number of times we spend the night there. With a beautiful view of the dam, the moaning of windmills, and birdsong early in the morning, one rests wonderfully. Hopefully next time we will arrive earlier so that we can take advantage of the delicious barbecue area on the covered porch of Karee, the unit we stayed in. Wish we could stay longer.
It is a lovely little house, very neatly and tastefully furnished. The peace and quiet of the farm ensures a good night's rest after a tiring day on the long road. You are received with such hospitality that you feel more like friends and not strangers. We would love to stay there again, maybe just for more than one night!
It was incredibly hot. We traveled with my family and grandmother and immediately they offered "grandmother" to sleep in the cottage with air conditioning instead. The teenage daughters were involved with their children and that evening they went fox hunting and went swimming in the farm pond. What a great experience. You really can't spend the night just one night anywhere. Definitely going to sleep there again and again. You will not be able to find better service and hospitality. Once again, thank you very much for the lovely visit!
Well equipped and spacious. Lovely to swim in the farm dam, stunning starry heavens.
We drove from Glentana to Pretoria and decided to book over at Rooidam. Luckily there was still room for us after a hectic peak season. There was always good communication with Andrè and we arrived without problems. Of course we were tired, hot and hungry, but we quickly went to cool off in the farm pond near the cottages. André then arranged a whole dinner for us with barbecue packages and 2 different salads. The braai facilities are easy to use and we soon got a nice fire going. After dinner, the children could watch a story on a full DStv package. There was fresh milk in the fridge, coffee and tea also available on the kitchen shelf. We had a nice shower and the children really enjoyed the bath. The surroundings are very peaceful and quiet and we slept well until the rooster announced the dawn. There are magazines to read and books about the environment for those who like history and all kinds of unique features of the Karoo. We would like to visit Rooidam again and would not think twice before making a reservation. It is simply a must!
Safe, clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay here again.
This is a wonderful stop with everything you need. We had a great overnight stay. The cottage (Karee) is well-equipped with warm blankets on the beds and heaters to keep the cold at bay. We received a friendly welcome and we were shown around. We also learned a few things about the history of the farm. I would definitely recommend Rooidam and will stay there again.
Accommodation on a farm not too far from the N12. Under green trees with peaceful night sounds that can be appreciated. The accommodation itself is clean and very nicely furnished. Our hostess warmly welcomed us and made us feel at home. Will always stop there again for an overnight stay.
A lot of effort was made to make sure I knew the location of the farm and cottage. I was received very friendly and hospitable and I immediately felt at home. The cottage is very neat and all the amenities are available. It is very safe and peaceful. I can recommend it to any person who appreciates farm life.
Mr. and Mrs. Raath make an effort to make the stay as pleasant as possible.
I grew up on a farm. If people like simplicity, they can spend the night at Rooidam at any time. Not much is offered, apart from a clean place to sleep and bathroom.
We enjoyed swimming and cooling off in the lovely clean farm pond the most. The children played in the sand, they enjoyed playing with the puppies. There are orchards of fruit and grapes around us and we could pick delicious lemons to pour over our chops, and eat them just like that with soft peel and all. There were delicious biscuits, some houses had biscuit ovens and biscuits. (Last time there were cookies and the children couldn't wait for us to spend the night there again for the cookies, then this time there were only biscuits...) The houses were clean and full of character with antique furniture and full of love. Everything is special, the shower even has shower gel in it. There is soap, hand soap and hand cream in the bathrooms. We got delicious braai wood. The lamb chops and sausage were delicious from the farm. We would like to make a suggestion that if we spend the night there again that we will pay for delicious home-baked bread and butter and scones, or even nice porridge and gravy. It's a long way and you're tired when you get there. The farm took us back to our childhood with grandfather and grandmother on the farm. RED DAM IS THE BEST!
Place was clean and spacious with air conditioning!
At another time we will take advantage of a few days there. Bonquet and Andre make you feel very much at home.
Sien die sterre.
It has a lovely farm feel.
Lovely clean and cozy cottage with everything you need. Nice swimming in the pond and the owners are very hospitable and friendly. Will definitely stay there again. The time in the house with the little stars roof.
To stay at Rooidam is always special. Andre and Bonquet are special people who care about their visitors. Will recommend Rooidam to anyone travelling to the Cape.
Very quiet and clean. People friendly. Close to main route, yet quiet. Definitely very safe. Would just like to see at least one cottage set up with access and bathroom for umbrellas. (handrails at toilet and in shower and level floor access to the shower).
We loved our stay at Rooidam. Andre and Bonquet were very welcoming and so friendly. The cottage was clean and homely and we didn't need anything else. We loved going on walks on the farm, lots of birds and the peace and quiet envelopes a person. Great place!
Everything the traveler needs and more! Clean, tidy and comfortable with hospitality.
All the best. I would highly recommend Rooidam to anyone and then you have the incredible owners, Andre and Bonquet, who immediately make you feel like family. See you again.
Love staying here. Lovely people and so peaceful.
We are very welcome and received kindly. The house was very nice and clean. Everything one could wish for was there. The silence was very noticeable. We slept great. Thank you very much. We would stay there again and definitely recommend it.
Neat, very comfortable accommodation and outstanding, very friendly service. I really enjoyed my stay there and can recommend it anytime.
Friendly owners. Really value for money.
Wonderful, peaceful environment. It's very safe. The cottage is very comfortable. No complaints!
Great reception. Neat clean and pleasant environment.
It's close to the N12 and easy to find.
Would recommend it to everyone. Thank you very much for good service.,
Wonderful stay, we were happy that we stayed in a Christian environment and thank you for praying for us for our journey ahead. We appreciated it and arrived safely at our destination.
We had a very nice stay.
So peaceful and you really experience the Karoo. Andre and Bonquet are so friendly and hospitable! Everything is tidy and the apartment had absolutely everything we needed. Wonderful place! Will definitely go back.
We got more than the ad promised. Would never travel anywhere else again.
It was so lovely to stretch out after our trip from Somerset West in this true oasis in the wonderful Karoo. Incredible hospitality - we received fruit from the orchard as well as freshly baked biscuits. The luxury double-storey apartment is equipped with a double bed and two single beds upstairs and one single bed downstairs. The beautiful bathroom has a shower and a bathtub. Upstairs is a toilet and sink. There are steps to the roof to witness the starry splendor. If it is not cloudy, one can climb up to the roof with the little ladder in the bedroom and enjoy the starry sky. Next time we will not only sleep over, but stay an extra day to drink in the peace and quiet (and the absolute silence at night).
Absolutely stunning karoo hospitality.
Had a great stay and rested well. A lot of effort is made to accommodate people with different needs.
I will never stay overnight in another place on my way to the Cape.
See the stars.
It was a wonderful experience! Beautiful farm! So calm! The stars are incredibly beautiful! So kindly received and treated. Genuine Karoo hospitality.
Will definitely stay there again. Rooidam is peaceful and has the most beautiful sunsets. Can recommend the cottage to anyone.
Hospitality gets 5 star. The cottages are so neat and they offer value for money through and through. With great boldness I would recommend Rooidam Cottages. The peaceful farm environment, safety, accommodation and all the extras speak volumes. I will definitely use Roodiam Cottages again.
The cottages are clean and tidy. We were very kindly received and constantly spoiled with fruit from the garden as well as magazines and books. Andre and Bonquet really went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible.
Very neat and safe place to stay on the N12! True Karoo hospitality, with the most beautiful sunset and cooling off in the farm pond. Don't drive past here - come in and experience the Karoo and its people! This is one of our favorite overnight spots!
Neat residential unit with everything needed for weary travelers with a cool down in the karoo dam as a bonus! It was great fun and really something that my children and I will always remember.
We had a very nice overnight stay at Rooidam. The cottage is beautiful and well appointed. Very clean and tidy and everything you need is there. We really enjoyed the farm. After a long day's journey you could cool off in the clean farm pond. The starry sky is incredibly beautiful and it is quiet and peaceful. If we could, we would have spent an extra night there. Andre and Bonquet are wonderful people.
We had a warm welcome and lovely Karoo stay. Here you and your family can enjoy the very lovely farm feeling.
Andre was very accommodating, and received us very kindly. The cottage is nice and big and we had a great stay. We and the children really enjoyed the farm spaces, farm pond swimming and play area. Was a very nice experience among the Karoosterre.
Just what one wants as a place to sleep on a trip. Firewood only very poor and costs R20 per bundle too much.
Very nice overnight, it was just too short. I will definitely get there earlier next time. Hospitality of owners was excellent and they were very helpful. People who will go the extra mile for you. I definitely recommend the accommodation and will definitely spend the night there again.
Very clean, comfortable, safe, value for money and exceptionally hospitable host and wife.
Swim in a farm pond, play with ducks and chickens with chicks, hear the rooster's wake-up call, cool off under the trees full of birds. There is mosquito netting everywhere, comfortable cool rooms, and a nice shower. Delicious! Come see for yourself!
Was really very pleasant. Friendly reception and units are spacious and well equipped. Quiet farm atmosphere.
Nice stay on a farm in the Karoo. Everything one needs to stay.
What makes the stay so unique is the wide Karoo plains that make sunset and sunrise such a wonderful experience. Coupled with the hospitality of Andre and Bonguet Raath, what more could one ask for! Conveniently located just outside Britstown and less than 1 kilometer from the road. Will definitely stay there again.
Thank you very much for our friendly reception. It was homely and peaceful. I just wanted to pick the stars. Good luck to everyone there.
Please see the stars.
Pleasant overnight stay. Quiet and clean environment. Genuinely South African, friendly owners. Definitely recommend the place.
Very neat and cozy. Nice playground for children. Very good hospitality.
We were hospitably and very kindly received by Andre and Bonquet. The stay was very nice. I would recommend staying there and would stay there again myself.
I really enjoy staying at Rooidam. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I love the homely atmosphere and the friendly owners. It is just of the main road but far enough not to hear the traffic.
Very neat and you experience the Karoo atmosphere here. Will definitely stay there again if we are in the area.
Children had fun swimming in the farm pond.
See the stars below.
We enjoyed the stay very much. The Host and his wife were very friendly and helpful. The accommodation (Bloubos) was neat, beautiful and very clean. All facilities were available as well as milk, home-baked biscuits, tea and coffee. Furthermore, all facilities available. We have used their places before, but will definitely stay there again.
Quality venue in an exceptional location. Lovely people who really take care of their guests. For those after something safe and cosy to use it when travelling to see the flowers Rooidam, we can say Rooidam Cottages are a great stop over point.
Friendly hostess who offers a lovely stay. We had a nice walk on the farm, barbecued and wonderfully relaxed in a very neat, clean house with everything and more than you might need. Would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it.
The owners are extremely hospitable and make you feel at home! It was the ideal place to start a peaceful holiday! See you again!
It was wonderful to be able to experience the sheep shearing and wake up the next morning to the chirping of thousands of birds at dawn.
The second visit was again delicious. The cottage is comfortable and tidy and the host and wife were friendly and hospitable. We found absolutely nothing we needed, because everything was provided for.
The place is very nicely located, perfect for an overnight stay halfway to the Cape. Would highly recommend it to anyone who needs the quiet of the Karoo, but also only overnight facilities. I can even spend a holiday there with the kindness of the people. The children also really enjoyed it and want to go again.
We stayed here on a trip down to Lainsburg and it was a great stop over with a 9-10 hour drive from Pretoria and then a 5 hour trip the following day. Super friendly owners who let me pop in a Kudu hind-quarter in the deep freeze on the way back, yes we booked with them both ways and I'm glad that we did. Beds are great, facilities were spot on and everyone (including our 3 and 7 year old) had a good nights sleep. I couldn't fault it. We'll be back.
They will see me again when I'm in the area.
Rooidam is definitely a recommendation. We will certainly want to use the facilities again in the future when we travel in that direction. We have already recommended Roodiam to our friends who are also on their way to the Kalahari.
Comfortable and clean. With pleasant memories away there.
I can recommend Rooidam Cottages to anyone who wants to spend the night in a peaceful Karoo farm after a long journey.
We would recommend it anytime to break up your long journey! The hostess is particularly friendly and helpful!
Apartment was very tastefully appointed. Lekker braai facility on stomp. Could do with a hotplate. Great place along the less stressful N12 route.
We were warmly welcomed on our arrival with a tour of the farm pond and the orchard. Took beautiful photos of the sunset and had a restful night's rest. Will definitely use the place again to stay overnight in the future.
Thank you to a friendly host and hostess for the privilege of being able to experience a piece of the Karoo and a breathtaking starry sky. Thank you for a lovely apartment with its antique furniture that exudes an old world tranquility and atmosphere along with its cleanliness. We wish we could stay longer and would love to stay there again one day, but for much longer than just one night!
Way above expectations for the price it is offered for. Will definitely stay here again.
A neat self-catering cottage with all the amenities one needs for an overnight stay. Pleasant host and hostess.
Rooidam will always be our first choice for a sleep over. Bonquet and Andre are very friendly and helpful.
Received wonderful service from Bouquet and André. They put in a lot of effort. The cottage was well appointed, clean and beautiful. The environment is rest for the soul. Will definitely go there again.
Can recommend it to everyone. Clean, tidy with everything you need.
The host received us very kindly. The house has everything you need and it was an experience to experience the Karoo's silence and stars. The yard around the cottage is an oasis in the plains.
Friendly people. Neat accommodation. Appreciate little luxuries like crackers and firewood. Night walks make the stay special. Will come back again.
The Karoo's tranquility is so nice.
To travel with dogs is not easy, and include two city kids in that total it certainly makes the mix all that more interesting. Rooidam was just what we needed to regroup before hitting the city. The plaas dam was the first to be enjoyed, our hosts were friendly and we really enjoyed our stay! We had everything we needed for a perfect stop over!
Every time we spend the night on the farm, the tranquility and nature of the Karoo is a pleasant experience for us. The accommodations are clean and tidy and equipped with everything needed. We recommend Roodiam to everyone who drives in that direction.
It is a very neat place with lovely hosts.
See the stars below.
Neat, clean and comfortable. The meal could improve.
This is the most beautiful place I've ever been, and I wish we could stay longer than 1 night. Everything was just perfect! Thank you again to the owner of Rooidam Cottages.
We were kindly received and encouraged to stretch our legs and experience the Karoo. We went for a short walk in the field, then grilled meat (wood is provided), watched the Springboks' victory over Australia on TV and just had a good time in the silence of the Karoo.
Excellent accommodation with real Karoo hospitality.
Very clean and tidy accommodation! The warm blankets and heaters were just the right medicine to ward off the icy Karoo cold. The delicious donuts and rusks are really appreciated. There were nice braai facilities that we had to use despite the freezing cold wind.
We had a great time and rested. The braai meat wood started burning right away even though we only had sausages to grill. The rusk was welcome when we had to leave early in the morning, so no breakfast problems. Beddesn must crack because it is a farm- nice. We will definitely stay here again next time.
Very nice! Very peaceful environment. Hospitable and friendly staff! Clean nature around you and a beautiful peaceful environment. Will stay there again!
It's a nice sleepover and also a weekend getaway place, by just relaxing.... Grilling meat and sitting on the stoep, with any drink and enjoying the Karoo.
We had a very nice stay and were always received hospitably. We would recommend Rooidam anytime.
Very well equipped for an overnight stay. Very friendly reception. Will definitely use again.
Great resting point on suite to Cape Town. Warm - has electric blankets, and some great tasting biscuits.
Will stop by again when we are in the area.
Felt quite safe here.
Peaceful atmosphere of a working sheep farm!
A lovely spot for a short stay.
We would definitely recommend it to other people. We slept nice and warm. It was a very clean cottage with everything you need.
A very nice and peaceful environment.
Very friendly people, relaxing atmosphere. Situated on a farm with very nice sunsets!
Nice place to stay overnight, with friendly people. Very safe.
Very neat and clean cottages, definitely value for money for an overnight stay.
Stunning accommodation!
Very friendly, helpful, with well-equipped accommodation in a peaceful Karoo atmosphere.
Good living in the country side, where you can almost touch the stars at night! Relax with a cold one, light a nice fire and enjoy.
The room was pleasant and cool after a long drive, but it is definitely not worth a 3 star rating. The price is also not completely overpriced and therefore I have no complaints. The bedding was very neat and clean, but the main bedroom bed cracks because the base is not a full base but a spring bed. It bothered me. Furthermore, I had no hot water for showering, although it was so hot outside that I found it pleasant. Don't know about the winter months though. The reception was really very pleasant and I would definitely recommend the stay to people because it was an old farmstead and you have to experience it in that context.
We had a pleasant stay. The owner was helpful and friendly, and my son really enjoyed his swim in the farm dam! Two small points: the bathroom curtains were too long and hung in the bath; more should be done to accommodate a breakfast and/or supper for guests as there is virtually nothing available in Britstown. Other than that, simply wonderful.
Good personal service. rooms well provided thank you
We liked this B&B, it was clean and pleasant. I had a wonderful time, however I would suggest you check that the geyser is consistent for future guests.
Friendly hostess and lovely quiet area. loved it!!!
