"Friendly overnight in De Rust"

8.0

The host was very friendly and welcomming. The room is spacious and the bed was really comfortable. There is a fridge in the room... also tea and coffee. The bathroom is nice with a massive shower. Everything was nice and clean. Location is within walking distance of restaurants and coffee shops. There is parking for your vehicle.

Nothing to add.

"A Hidden Gem in A Charming Klein Karoo Village"

8.0

This was a great off-the-beaten track private home-stay for a solo traveler - or a very cozy couple. This was my second time in De Rust. Irissa is located uphill in a residential area, so is quiet and tranquil rather than noisy and disruptive, as places along the main N12 drag can be. Large garden in the rear and enclosed security parking on site. There are many restaurants nearby downslope in the village, but a big plus for me was that De Rustica Olive Estate, 2023 and 2024 winner (out of 1000 initial entries) of the EVOOleum World's Best Olive Oil tasting contest in Madrid, is only about 5 minutes away, where there is a nice and very moderately priced restaurant with commanding views of the estate in the shop complex. The Doornkraal Padstal, a great traditional boer breakfast/lunch spot (excellent roosterkoek!) is just 9 minutes away, both places in the direction of Oudtshoorn. Irissa hostess Karen Miller is a genteel, gracious, and charming hostess, an accompished artist and a yoga teacher with extensive local knowledge, who gives you free run of the house and garden. Good WiFi at Karen's Irissa Sanctuary too! I had a delightful two-night stay!

Be sure and make a trip northwards on the N12 through the Meiringspoort Pass towards Price Albert for some majestic scenic Swartberg mountain views.
