127 guests' feedbackHad a nice stay and slept well.
Very cute guest apartment. Sitting on top of the hill with a beautiful view.
Very nice stay, very nice view.
Had a great night's rest!
We had a great stay! The hostess went the extra mile and was very accommodating.
It was a pleasant time. Rest in peace for your soul.
Had a lot of fun, be aware of extra travel time.
Very nice and slept well.
We had a lovely stay at Rosedale Guest Cottage. The reception was very friendly. Everything we needed was in the cottage. The view from the (cottage) is beautiful. It is a very peaceful environment. Recommendation that a car that is a little higher off the ground is used.
Yes. Safe and quiet. Friendly people.
Very nice setting, something different, no signal or WiFi, slept well.
I would only recommend that the owner improve the dirt road to the farm. The dirt road has ugly lumps and it cost me a tire.
Just really like Karoo.
For us an excellent overnight stop between Cape and North West province.
Quiet, nice view, nice place to rest before you continue on the long road.
Meals available at very reasonable prices. Food is tasty. Owner is very friendly and helpful. Unit is clean and tidy and suitable for an overnight stay on the way to see flowers. View is beautiful.
Located high on hill with lovely view and interesting history. Had a nice walk around and felt warm and cozy despite the wind and inclement weather.
Experience the creative pioneering work that Karo farmers achieved under difficult circumstances.
Very friendly welcome. Delicious Karoo food.
We really enjoyed our stay. Loved the idea that there were braai packs on sale.
Only got there very late, much later than we should have. But was warmly received and the food was immediately ready, delicious Karoo lamb shoulder with vegetables, salad and dessert. Dog was somewhat troublesome next morning, would not recommend for children or people afraid of dogs, nice young Great Dane who wants to play and then he jumps on you. Bump up to the house was ok, but towed forest wagon, normal trailer maybe going to struggle a bit over bumps.
Google gave us a detour. Be very careful and read the instructions given by host. Fortunately, the hostess called us in time and helped us.
We were just passing through and it was very suitable for that.
We had what we needed, a warm bed, friendly faces and a warm welcome.
Beautiful, peaceful and quiet.
Accommodation is very far and located in an uncomfortable area. Roads very bad. We got sick from the water that came out of the kettle. There was a layer of jelly-like water at the bottom of the kettle. Lotion and other products in bathroom expired. No reception of cellphones.
Most beautiful view! Just been a little far out of town.
Just what I needed for my trip. Top notch hospitality!
We enjoyed our overnight stay at Rosedale. Dyllis was an extremely accommodating and friendly host.
This should have been a five star cottage. Hostess thought of everything. Hand cream, sweeties on dressing table, books to read, loaded light for loadshedding. Even a trolley to carry your bags from the car to the house. Will stay there again.
We had a great time at this guest house on a farm. Can definitely recommend it.
Real farm and Karoo feeling. Very nice view and sunset.
Quiet peaceful environment and nice hospitality.
We arrived late afternoon. Hostess was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it for an overnight stop. As a bonus, we went to see the Smart syndicate dam.
Thank you very much, we had a great time with you.
It's a perfect overnight stop.
Peaceful and quiet accommodation with a lovely view. Dyllis is an excellent hostess, and the food was delicious.
We couldn't believe how beautiful it was here. We had a very nice stay.
We only stayed one night and the view from there over the area was something special, just a pity it's winter and we couldn't be outside for too long. Dyllis made sure everything was in order. Thank you for your trouble in forwarding our backlogged item, this is hospitality par excellence, and we truly appreciate it.
Thank you very much for the friendly reception and delicious food. We had a great time. The ideal place to spend the night. The silence and natural beauty of the Karoo is breathtaking. Will stay there again.
None, everything was nice as the view.
Good break with so Karoonag on the long road to Cape Town.
The tranquility makes it so relaxing, would go back again anytime. Can only repair aircon.
Beautiful view. Lovely stay and top notch homemade pies.
The cottage is perfect for an overnight stay. Very friendly hostess.
Beautiful Karoo farm, with the tastiest Karoo dinner!
Location was excellent. The view is fantastic. Accommodation was neat and clean, we spent a peaceful night here.
I have two comments a photo of the entrance on the R384 a must, The access to the guest cottage is not suitable for low cars.
Friendly reception and delicious Karoo meal with breakfast to order was truly delicious.
We were pretty well prepared for any eventuality. We were aware of load shedding. The wind might have been a somewhat negative experience with the window right above the bed not being able to close. Drinking water was provided. However, ants came out with the water at the faucet right at the entrance. The water was for washing dishes. I would suggest that the origin of the ants be investigated. Other than that it was really very pleasant.
We were so kindly received by Dillys and the accommodation was top notch with every possible little thing provided. Only place I could ever see the sun set and rise over the horizon and the stars in the evening were amazing. Karoo hospitality at its best.
Warm welcome and the people are very helpful and friendly. Accommodation well equipped
Old world accommodation with everything you will need. Book the dinner, it is highly recommended. Beautiful view. Try to get there before dark so you can appreciate the surroundings, farm life and view.
Our hostess made our visit wonderful in the evening with the most delicious Karoo meals imaginable. The room is very neat, elegant and offers absolute privacy to the guests. The glorious sun through the glass door kept us inside from the cold winter wind, but the goats and farm environment tempted us to a lovely walk on the farm.
Will recommend to all family and friends.
Peaceful Karoo accommodation.
Very special and hospitable accommodation.
I would recommend it for business person, spouses and a small family wanting to stay overnight. Diilys is very nice and helpful.
I like antiques and got the experience there - a lovely way to start the holiday and see farm life from a little hill.
It's secluded with an incredible view. Your soul becomes healthy. The room and facilities are not on the same level. Cluttered and in need of a good dusting!
Warm hospitality. Kitchenware was not clean. Unfortunately, kitchen sink is completely inadequate - only a cold faucet running out of the wall into a plastic dish with no outlet.
Peaceful - overlooking the Karoo Plains.
Very nice halfway stop.
The unit has an incredible view of the valley. The food was delicious. Very nice garden and comfortably slept over with a 3 month old baby. Nice pool to cool off and enjoy the view.
We had a very nice stay. Friendly hosts, nice facilities and a nice view.
We were very friendly and warmly received. The cottage is well and comfortably furnished. What is missing is a convenient dishwasher. We experienced a particularly strong wind and rainstorm in the Karoo that night. Unforgettable.
Beautiful bohemian cottage. Very nice view from the farm. Cottage has a fridge but without a freezer which is necessary if you want to stay a few days.
We were very kindly welcomed by the hostess.
Thank you for the warm welcome.
Wonderful views, great setting and an accommodating and friendly owner.
Very neat and comfortable.
Very nice stay. Beautiful farm, nice cottage and Dillys are very friendly.
Friendly hostess and the cottage was neat and clean.
You are immediately made welcome, incredible views, well equipped for a night's sleep! Will definitely do it again.
Typical farm stop over. Opening and closing gates adds to the flavor of the stay over. Great alternative route for the next day suggested.
Mrs Trollip is a wonderful hostess. Rosedale Guest Cottage is beautiful. It is clean and tidy. Everything one needs is available. We had a great time.
The host is friendly, peaceful and quiet, very neat and a nice place to sleep.
I would definitely recommend this farm to anyone traveling in this direction and wanting to spend the night. It is beautiful, peaceful and has everything you need. Definitely worth a visit!
Great place to sleep in a beautiful area. Pity about the drought. Lovely view all around. Will definitely recommend and be back.
Beautiful view. Friendly reception and safe environment.
Top notch hospitality. Beautiful view apart from the severe drought.
Netjes, rustig, een aanbeveling. Lekkere kuierplek.
The place is very cute and was comfortable, I really liked the view and it was nice and peaceful to relax after a long day of driving.
Very friendly reception.
The place has incredibly beautiful views, and is absolute value for money.
A piece of green paradise in the Karoo.
Dilly was a great hostess. We were welcomed and enjoyed staying in this cute abode on the hill. what a lovely green oasis. We ordered a lovely Karoo dinner. Definitely recommend this place!
Friendly reception, nice view.
Peaceful, clean and neat. Perfect for one or two nights.
We just stayed overnight. It was like in the old days on my grandfather's farm. The night sky was fresh and the stars were flashing bright! The gravel road was beautiful and I could easily drive up the hill with my little car. Thank you Dillys Trollip for your kindness and hospitality.
Very good place to stay between Cape Town and Pretoria.
A lovely place to stay and Dilly's very hospitable.
A little bit out of the way, but worth the extra kilometres!
Everything we needed was provided in the cottage. We suggest that more space be made in the kitchen nook area to prepare food. Thank you to the host who is most accommodating.
We had a great stay at Rosedale Guest Cottage.
The silence and tranquility cannot be beat. At night the stars are so bright you can almost touch them. We would recommend it to prospective travelers anytime.
It was a pleasant resting place for us after a long drive. Can recommend Rosedale to anyone who likes quiet and beautiful Karoo view.
A very special place to stay overnight with more facilities than expected, located on a hill with a wonderful view of the Karoo. Really very cute and neat.
I was received very kindly by the hostess Dillys. The rooms and bedding/linen were spotless. Braai facilities with wood/charcoal are a welcome bonus, as is the air conditioner. My only suggestion would be to think about a small sink in the kitchen, and certainly a small table where one can sit and eat. However, it remains very good value, is delightfully quiet and gives one the chance to rest before the next long-distance shift.
Very friendly stop between Johannesburg and Cape Town. Pleasant hostess provided us with nice light dinner. Magnificent view of the farm and surroundings from our cottage.
Warmly welcomed and the chalet was very clean and neat.
Baie vriendelike ontvangs.
Good value for money, but has limitations.
Was made to feel very welcome. Dogs included. Lovely setting in a pretty garden overlooking a beautiful valley below. Lots of interesting history.
Thank you Dillys for the warm welcome! We were tired but then walked into a clean and neat room! The loveliest view of the Karoo. Good food. We can only say thank you! I suggest they add GPS coordinates, but then again we didn't read the directions properly. Thank you again. I would recommend your place.
Had a nice time. The only thing I missed was the option of a farmhouse breakfast before leaving again. Otherwise, good location and farm atmosphere.
See stars.
Very tidy, peaceful stopover. More privacy and braai facilities lacked.
Clean and tidy with appreciated hospitality.
Karoo at its best. Great.
After our long journey, Rosedale Cottage was an experience. Beautiful stone house with the most amazing view of the Karoo. Received by the hostess with real Karoo friendliness! Highly recommended to those who want to experience something different after a long day on the road!
Directions given were on the spot. Cottage was easy to find. Dilly's welcome was friendly and heart warming. Cottage was awesome neat and tidy. Garden and surrounding area was clean and neat. Sunrise on the following morning was awesome. Would highly recommend not only to stop over but to spend an extra day to explore the area. Well worth the stay, will definitely stop over there again.
It's a beautiful, cozy place in the Karoo. Als is clean, beautiful and well equipped. Reception is friendly with typical peasant hospitality. The sunset and starry sky are breathtaking. Would like to stay a little longer next time. It's the ideal place to stay from the Gauteng to the Western Cape. Just think that if others discover the gem, it will be hard to find a place to stay.
Beautiful, neat cottage on a Karoo farm with an exceptional view. Dillys is an excellent hostess who spoiled us with a delectable dinner and breakfast. Will definitely stay here again.
The entryway to the facility could have been indicated better. We drove 6 km detour in the end to get there. The hostess went out of her way to make us feel at home.
Great place to stay at. Thank you, Dyllis, dinner and breakfast was delicious. Thank you for your hospitality, it was nice to meet you. Highly recommended.
Turn-off indication from main road could improve. GPS coordinates can also be welcome. Otherwise all good.
Quiet, nice view and friendly hostess.
Rosedale Guest Cottage was wonderfully peaceful. The view breathtaking with the silence around you. Our hostess Siddyl was fantastic and very hospitable and spoiled us with a delicious Karoo dinner and an equally delicious breakfast. She will definitely see us again!
Even though we were late in the evening, we were received so warmly it felt like we had arrived at my own parents' house. The silence, view and fresh air made us wonderfully relax and escape from the crazy city rush and got us in the right mood to walk the Tankwa Camino.
Incredibly peaceful, very neat and the stars are breathtakingly beautiful! We were able to cool down in the pool after a long journey from the Cape and admire all the stars. View in the morning was so beautiful!! Owner (and her dogs) very friendly and hospitable!
Very neat and exceptional place with the most incredible view! Dinner was delicious!
Highly recommendable and very pleasant. We enjoyed our stay.
Dillys, the hostess, is very friendly, helpful and an expert on the area and its history. The dirt road to the guest house is in excellent condition and suitable for small cars. Treat yourself to instant cappuccino!
Tidy.
There is no air conditioning available in the unit, and it can get very hot in December.
View spectacular, very friendly, clean and comfortable. Bit out of the way but well worth it.
