Stayed here with friends for a night and booked the Karoo View 2 and Explorer rooms. The view from the Karoo View 2 is spectacular and it's a real treat to be able to open the glass panel doors completely and watch the sunrise from the huge comfortable bed! The room's private deck has the most incredible view which you... More

From the UK we saw this B&B via a schoolfriend on Facebook and thought it would be a good halfway break on our way to Kenton-On-Sea. On arrival, we were shown to our rooms...Explorer/Karoo View 2 and Karoo View 1... WOW was the comment from all 5 of us!! Stunning rooms.. After travelling we swam in the refreshingly cool swimming... More

On a two week tour, staying in some appetising looking places, we didn't have this stopover down as a particular highlight - stupid us. A wonderfully spacious room with a huge private deck offering the most breathtaking views greeted us. The pool looks out over glorious countryside. There's another viewing deck where Ben made us a truly gourmet dinner (the... More

Our room Karoo View 2 was large, spacious and well decorated. The balcony was huge and private and we enjoyed a lovely evening watching the moon rise over the horizon. Whilst this is the country we were surprised to see 3 dogs at the guesthouse, in the common areas and around the pool. If you are uncomfortable with Great Danes... More

Better late than never - after our stay in October thought I better get around to posting a review and this place is well worth taking the time to do so. We only had one night here between our stay in Addo and our next stop of Simon's Town and now wish we had stayed longer. With magnificent views from... More

What more can one ask for? Reasonable price. Friendly reception by your hosts. Superb hospitality. Beautiful views - yes in this case as beautiful as the internet pictures.

We stayed one night in De Rust View Guest House on our way back from the Cape during December 2012. Ben and Lanie-Marie are outstanding hosts and made us feel right at home. We stayed in the Karoo View 1 room, which is on the first floor. As other travellers mentioned, the view of the Klein Karoo is indeed spectacular.... More

We recently stayed here on our way to the Cape. What a lovely place! The biggest plus is definitely the views of this guesthouse and the friendliness of the hosts. We stayed in a family room. The only downside was that we didn't have a private entrance and the door to our room opened into the lounge shared by the... More
