It's a nice place to stay with a very friendly host.
We spent the night at Rooipan on the way home from the Kgalagadi National Park. We had a great time and regret that we had to leave so soon because here you can visit and chat until next year! The hostess, Lizette, is a walking encyclopedia and has broad knowledge of the environment and history of the Salt Belt and its people. This farming community is one of the keepers and keepers of our country! We will definitely visit again! Thank you very much for your hospitality, Lizette and Daantjie. We feel like family!
The hospitality of the owners was very special and so nice. They asked us repeatedly if we needed anything and made sure we were satisfied with everything. We had a great barbecue that evening, it's a lovely farm and place to stay and we would recommend it over and over again. Your place is top notch and my husband, Andries, and his sister knew the owners and that's why the visit was so much more special and years of talking still haven't been caught up.
Place is well located and close to the highway. Unity exceeded all expectations. Attention to detail is amazing. Biscuits are home-baked, braai is full of wood just ready for lighting, coffee is top, Lizette is an excellent host. Sommer nice feeling at home.
Great to arrive at a nice, comforting room after a very long drive. Very cold but nicely heated flat. Charming hostess.
Everything was well, the host friendly, the room very nice, the garden and veranda and so on.
Enjoyable night over at Rooipan in comfortable home away from home accommodation. Hospitable, helpful hosts. Lizette gave us interesting history of the farms and water supply to the Kalahari farming community and settlements. We encourage her to write an account of this, or would be a worthwhile article in Weg / Go! or Country Life Magazine.
We stayed at the Desert Bloom cottage, a cosy place close to the pool. Anyway, the pool was a real lifesaver for us in the Kalahari climate. Lizette and Daniel are fantastic hosts, and Lizette is a tremendous chef. We travelled SA for 8 weeks, but got the best food of the whole journey at the Rooipan Guest House.
Friendly welcome and lots of nice books to read in the room which is better than any cell phone reception. Would recommend that there might be signposts erected to say where one should sign in when driving onto the farmyard.
Excellent and friendly hosts! Thanks so much! Dinner and Breakfast excellent if you want to book! Would wish to come back and stay longer next time!
Beautiful oasis in the lovely Kalahari. A piece of paradise between all the dunes. Friendly host couple who made us feel right at home. They even shared some anecdotes about Rooipan's history and the lovely surroundings. The flat is beautiful and the cool swimming pool is ideal for a hot day. The children really made the most of the pool. The couple went out of their way to ensure that we felt welcome and provided delicious snacks and drinks. We would just like to thank everyone at Rooipan for the lovely accommodation, all the treats and for sharing a piece of the Kalahari with us.
