60 guests' feedbackLovely and peaceful place to stay. The hostess and her husband are very friendly. The nature is beautiful!
All you need, complemented by warm hospitality. Definitely the place to stay for flower viewing in Namaqualand.
The host and wife go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. The communal kitchen is superbly equipped and the evening's braai is a delicious highlight. My suggestion is: please. a sliding door that can provide privacy between the bathroom and bedroom.
Great facilities and nicely kitted out kitchen and braai area. Plus the flowers around Soebatsfontein Guest Lodge were gorgeous.
This special place really shouldn't be compared to other places. It was like going home to old friends. Silver clean, cutely furnished, nicely centrally located and the communal braai in the evening was a highlight. We felt very welcome and really enjoyed our stay.
We were kindly received. Have a nice time. Everything was well appointed. Linda and Raymond made a delicious fire on which the guests could barbecue together or if you want to barbecue alone, you can barbecue in front of your place.
Basic venue with a very friendly host. They do everything to make it comfortable.
The initial frustration with the communication was not so nice. Was surprised with the whole setup and kitchen facilities. Much better than the photos on the page show. Have a good time in the evening. We booked for 2 nights but could only stay one night. Underestimated distance. The beds were clean and comfortable. We would consider the place again should we go in the direction. Directions were good.
We will definitely return.
It's near Namakwa Park.
What a pleasant place to stay. Great time with host and wife and other guests.
The place is very clean and tidy. The fact that the bathroom does not have a door was not pleasant for us and will recommend this to management. Overall it was a pleasant and good experience.
Access routes, dirt roads very corrugated iron and washed away in places. Not a problem for 4x4 vehicles. Beautiful in flower time.
See stars.

We enjoyed our stay very much.
Neat, basic overnight facilities. Excellent host and hospitality. Lovely hot shower. Nice time around the fire with other guests.
Very pleasant hostess and host. Very good location. Very expensive for what you get. Small, only good for sleeping over.
The communal kitchen was very well equipped. The bedrooms although small were very comfortable. The patrons are great people and made us feel at home.
Small room but beautiful, comfortable, clean and neat. The bed deserves special mention, good quality mattress and bedding, towels too. Very nice place to socialise with a well-equipped kitchen. Host and hostess are very warm people.
Have a good time together. Very well located. Visiting area really well furnished. Owners go out of their way to keep guests happy.
Good value for money and pleasant owners who run the place well.
Soebatsfontein Guest House is very well furnished, clean and tidy. Shared kitchen has everything and more, the hospitality of the owners Ray and Linda is incredible, you leave as friends and not guests.
The rooms are very basic and small, but this did not cause any inconvenience. There is a lovely kitchen, porch and braai area where all the guests cooked together, visited and exchanged flower-watching tips. It was very special. Linda and Raymond were very helpful and catered to everyone's needs. Truly an exceptional place to stay.
It was such a good experience to come and share the special place with its rich history with the other guests and owners. The gathering barbeque area and kitchen exceeded our expectations.
Clean rooms, great hosts, surprisingly different. We enjoyed the communal kitchen meeting the other guests over a braai.
Location is still being developed. Soundproofing still a problem but owners aware of it. Excellent host and wife.
It felt remote but at the crossroads to many interesting places inland and on the coast. Interesting conversion of a Dutch Reformed church campus. The tiny rooms looking into the garden are pleasant. Linda and Ray make the stay memorable - nothing is too much trouble for them. The shared kitchen is very well equipped and spick and span. Definitely a place for the more adventurous tourist. Would recommend to friends who don't need frills! Thank you Linda and Ray.
We were 2 senior couples, all introverts. Despite that, had a great time with other guests and made new friends. Will check in there again for next tour! You also have the option to grill privately!
The place is a pure 4x4 or camping adventurer's dream stopover. Everything basically is there. Very nice place if a group arrives there for the night, because owners cultivate a gathering around the table and braai. Communal kitchen and braai with owners and everyone staying overnight at Soebatsfontein Guest Lodge. Each overnight unit is only suitable for 2 persons with a bathroom. Thank you to the owners for being able to plan quickly upon arrival, and to be able to arrange a door for the bathroom. Only the front units have their own grills, but the rear units share a boma grill collectively. Rooms are facing each other so are not very soundproof, so if you listen very carefully you will hear your neighbor snoring if he is a very loud snorer. Makes me think back and long for our school days camping adventures. The very best was being unavailable from cell phone and signal, because could properly cut off and rest without any technology around. Perfect for me, because I could look at the beautiful stars and enjoy nature and silence, every minute.
Sorry about very small rooms and poor design. Hear all unpleasant personal noises from rooms next door and behind. Communal kitchen is not our choice, especially not with Covid-19.
Linda and Ray are very friendly hosts and really go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Had some enjoyable talks and were given good advice on the surrounding areas. Also enjoyed the interaction with the other residents. one always learns something from how other people travel.
A quiet environment with good customer service.
It has a nice kitchen and dining room.
Rooms are very small, bed with bedside lights no place for a chair. Small bathroom with no door no privacy. Advertised as a guest suite! One is deceived by description. No soap. Cold! Price is more than expected for such basic accommodation.
The facilities were neat, but the rooms are very small. If you have rowdy and noisy neighbors, which was the case in our case, it is very disturbing. Would have liked basic facilities in unit such as a kettle as the communal kitchen is a risk in the Covid times we are in now. Furthermore, there were no basic things like a sink plug and extra toilet paper. During our stay there was a power outage. With the power outage there was no hot water although there are gas heaters for the water - strange. A power generator was switched on, but for very short periods which didn't really help. This was one of the most expensive fees we paid during our visit to the Namaqualand with the fewest facilities.
Very simple but very effective. Pleasant host and hostess. Wonderful flower viewing experience. Will definitely visit again.
Will refer others to them anytime.
Was wonderful and so nice to meet strangers.
Thank you, Raymond and Linda, for a different lodge experience. We were a little apprehensive about cooking in the communal kitchen but it turned out such fun. People of all ages, from all walks of life, sharing the space and their experiences of the day. It was great having you around to share your knowledge of the area with us.
The special way in which the self-service is offered from a central kitchen and living area is something special and different from the normal self-service places. This means that friends are made with the other visitors and the owners and creates a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. The location means that every day you can go in a different direction to view the beauty of the flowers.
The whole set-up is very cute - there is a cozy atmosphere and the place is ideal if flower-watching is on your to-do list.
This guest house is only open during the flower season. It offers one a place to stay that fits in with the spirit of the landscape: simplicity but not inferior, friendly company with other guests at the braai and communal kitchen (which is particularly well equipped), a night's rest in silence in a small village with friendly and peaceful inhabitants. Here one becomes part of the landscape. And Soebatsfontein is perfectly situated to view the park in all directions. The roads are like the landscape - rough, but vehicles with sufficient ground clearance can handle it. The combination of Soebatsfontein and the Guest Lodge offers a unique accommodation experience for people who do not think that 5-star accommodation is the purpose of a trip.
After the flowery ride, this overnight stay was simply nice and comfortable. Clean, tidy, everything you need and one of the nicest nights sleep ever! Unfortunately or perhaps fortunately, MTN is not available, so no signal.
Really nice simple and pleasant accommodation. Clean and tidy and good facilities.
Have already recommended Soebatsfontein.
See stars.
People are friendly and helpful. Place is very neat.
Pleasant host and hostess. Had a great time. Already recommended to family and friends.
We connected easily and hung out around the campfire with the other guests. The rooms are very neat but very small, but clean and sensibly furnished.
We did not know what to expect but had a lovely stay at Soebatsfontein. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The road from Kamieskroon is only 50km, but takes long due to gravel mountain passes not always in good condition. You share a communal kitchen, but very clean and well equipped. You have to take everything you need, as there is no shop (incl wood, ice etc.) A big advantage is the back entrance to Skilpad Flower Resort is at their doorstep. A cool place!
Made new friends, had a great time around the fires and lots of additional information about events, places and flower routes.
Arrived to this hidden gem after a long day of road trip. Met the super friendly owners who explained the setup and showed us to our rooms. Rooms are small but have everything you need, the communal kitchen is neat and organised, the evening for a lack of a better word "kuiering" with the owners was fantastic. We would definitely come back!
Close to national park, beautiful passes and close to sea. Good chance to explore coast from here. Especially McDougalls Bay special. Geology of Concordia/Okiep/Springbok is special. Flowers here more beautiful than south at Clanwilliam. Occurs naturally in hills and rocks that ensure beautiful natural scenes.
The owners arranged meals for us and gave advice on where to see the best flowers. Their knowledge about the condition of the roads was also valuable.
No road signs and google takes you on 4x4 route through park.
Rooms not soundproof; noise from adjacent rooms very disturbing. Neat but too small. Double bed unacceptable, rock hard mattress. Water pump system is noisy and is turned off at 22:00.
The place is clean and well appointed. The owner is very helpful and hospitable. The environment is breathtaking.
Two days weren't enough to explore the area. Relatively short trips to Skilpad, Kamieskroon and surrounds. Lots of different flowers around - once you step out of your vehicle. Roads are good.
Very warm reception by Willie and Annemarie. They made us feel very welcome and we learnt a lot from them about the area and its people.
