Die stilte van die Karoo vou jou toe en jy hoor weer jou eie hartklop.

Is 'n gesellige klein huisie met al die basiese geriewe.

The silence of the Karoo envelops you and you hear your own heartbeat again.

Is a cozy little house with all the basic amenities.

Net wat ek nodig gehad het.

Die klein huisie is heeltemaal "off grid". Die ligging is ook heeltemaal reg. Ons kon soveel fotos van die maan en sterre neem. Die sonsopkoms was ook heel besonders. Ons het buite gestaan en beskuit. Daar is min tot geen padgeraas terwyl ons daar gebly het. Dit is een van die min plekke waar ek graag weer sal wil gaan bly. Dalk langer volgende keer.

Just what I needed.

The little house is completely "off grid". The location is also quite right. We could take so many photos of the moon and stars. The sunrise was also very special. We stood outside and toasted. There is little to no road noise while we stayed there. This is one of the few places I would like to stay again. Maybe longer next time.

Gasvrou het uit haar pad gegaan om aan ons behoeftes te voldoen.

Ons het 'n veilige, rustige oorslaapplek nodig gehad op kort kennisgewing. Ons het eers om 3 uur in die nag aangekom en is gegun om ongestoord later te vertrek. Die Afrikamasker en die Buddha in die kombuis is die enigste steurende elemente vir ons. Sal definitief terugkeer vir 'n 3/4-dag besoek. Sal Gasvrou dan vra om asb. die 2 elemente te verwyder, indien moontlik. Lieflike beskuit.

Hostess went out of her way to meet our needs.

We needed a safe, quiet place to sleep at short notice. We didn't arrive until 3 o'clock in the night and were allowed to leave undisturbed later. The African mask and the Buddha in the kitchen are the only disturbing elements for us. Will definitely return for a 3/4 day visit. Will Hostess then ask to please remove the 2 elements, if possible. Lovely biscuit.

Ons kon weer asemhaal.

Wat 'n groot verrassing toe ons daardie deur oopsluit. Die mooiste huisie in die vlaktes van die Karoo. Alles wat ons nodig gehad het was daar. Die lekkerste braaivleis vuur onder die helderste sterre. Ons kom weer kuier Ilda, baie dankie.

We could breathe again.

What a big surprise when we unlocked that door. The most beautiful house in the plains of the Karoo. Everything we needed was there. The tastiest barbecue fires under the brightest stars. We will visit again Ilda, thank you very much.

'n Aangename belewenis!

Ons het heerlik gekuier by Rooidam en is so dankbaar vir die natuur se eenvoud en stilte. Die eenheid is goed toegerus en die sak hout baie welkom gewees. Die vaalbosskerm was ons gunsteling kuierplek. Baie dankie Ilda!

A pleasant experience!

We had a great time at Rooidam and are so grateful for nature's simplicity and silence. The unit is well equipped and the bag of wood was very welcome. The Vaalboskerm was our favorite place to visit. Thank you very much Ilda!

Baie lekker verblyf, aangenaam verras.

Was bietjie skugter maar verblyf terdeë geniet, unieke ervaring vir kjnders, lekker skaaprib gebraai, vooraf gereël met eienaars. En om alles te kroon, 'n groot storm en baie reën.

Very nice stay, pleasantly surprised.

Was a bit timid but thoroughly enjoyed the stay, unique experience for children, nice lamb rib roast, pre-arranged with owners. And to top it all off, a big storm and lots of rain.

Exactly what we were looking for. Traveling from Johannesburg to the West Coast thus is the perfect stopover. Peaceful clean and everything we needed.

Lovely 2 bedroomed cottage. Beat as a pin. Great Lapa for a braai and to watch the beautiful sunsets. Will definitely be back!

Delightful stay and love the location!

I will definitely return, just far away from the main road to be easily accessible and perfectly situated. Loved the full ice trays!

Wat 'n aangename verrassing. Hierdie klein, wit huisie in die middel van nêrens, maar super netjies en moderne binne. Die stil, donker Karoonag, met sterre sover soos die oog kan sien, was vir ons stadskinders 'n groot bederf.

Ons het die kuiertjie vreeslik geniet.

What a pleasant surprise. This small, white house in the middle of nowhere, but super neat and modern inside. The quiet, dark Karoon night, with stars as far as the eye could see, was a great treat for us city children.

We really enjoyed the visit.

Ongelooflik!

Wat 'n klein juweel in die middel van niks en nowhere! Die huisie is pragtig binne met alles wat jou hart begeer. Die koolstofie was 'n groot pluspunt in die koue weer. Ilda die eienaar het regtig die ekstra myl gestap. Ons het selfs die lekkerste tuisgebakte beskuit gekry. Hierdie plekkie is 'n moet vir enige reisgenoot.

Unbelievable!

What a little gem in the middle of nowhere! The cottage is beautiful inside with everything your heart desires. The carbon was a big plus in the cold weather. Ilda the owner really went the extra mile. We even got the most delicious home-baked biscuits. This place is a must for any travel companion.
