"Upon driving into Brandvlei and calling to hear where the house were, we were told that there was a double booking and that we will have to stay at Casablanca, which is a cheaper backpacker type accommodation, that smelled really bad. We had to share the house with another couple (although they were quite nice). Its not what we wanted, and the reason why we tried to book an entire self catering unit for ourselves. I am am not sure if this Brandvlei Accommodation unit is also a shared unit. This is not specified on the website anywhere, so I suggest you phone and find these things out. Only good thing that I can mention is that the "owner" who met us seemed nice and brought us a fresh loaf of bread. We appreciate that thanks."
"WE DINT STAY DARE IT WASN'T SAFE TO STAY DARE THE PICTURE ON THE INTERNET IS NOT GOOD THE PLACE IS VERY DIRTY EN ER WAS A BREAK IN THE WINDOW WAS BROKEN IN TO WE WERE FORCE TO STAY ELSWARE BECAUSE THERE WAS NOBODY DARE"
"Nice people, excellent room, beautiful garden - photo on left does harm to how nice the guesthouse actually looks.A Signboard could improve locating the place, especially in the dark."
"Place is neglected. Very cold. Milk was sour."
"We had difficulty in getting to the location because the road has been changed. Giving better directions in the advert would help a lot."
"The accomadation was excellent, the support great and the dinner prepared for us was outstanding. As a stop over spot for our group it was well worth it. Thank you Dirk and your team."
"Dirk was our host, and he went out of his way to ensure that we have everything we needed. The facilities were spot-on. We won't have any hesitation in recommending Brandvlei Accommodation."
"We were able to arrive at a time that suited us. The room was clean and very big. We also had our own bathroom and a little stoep where we could braai. The place is well cared for and we felt very safe."
"Couldn't find the accommodation and nobody we asked had heard of it seems like a con to me and will be asking Safari Now for a deposit refund at the end of this holiday."
"Unfortunately I can't rate the accommodation at Brandvlei due to a slip-up from SafariNow... We changed our dates 2 weeks prior via SafariNow, but when we got there was no room for us as SafariNow did not inform them of our changed dates...what a disappointment!!<br/><br/>Dirk was friendly, helpful and apologetic (even though it was not his slip up) he immediately booked us into another guesthouse. Their fees were more but he insisted on paying the difference.<br/><br/>I sure hope claimed it back from SafariNow.<br/><br/>Dankie Dirk vir jou vriendelikheid en hulp om dadelik ander akkommodasie vir ons te reel, ons het dit baie waardeer!!"
"Dirk and Elsabe were pleasant, friendly and helpful hosts who made us feel welcome and comfortable.<br/>The 3-course homemade dinner was delicious and generous.<br/>The room was a nice size and was clean and well appointed.<br/>This was a real oasis in the middle of the Northern Cape.<br/>If we are in that area again we will definitely stay with Dirk and Elsabe.<br/>September 2016.<br/>"
"We stayed here on a recent trip. The service was extraordinary friendly. The room quite basic but clean."
"The hosts were extremely friendly, helpful and we were warmly received. The rooms were clean however there was a distinct smell of cigarette smoke. Also please note that this accommodation is not self-catering, but bedrooms within a private home with shared kitchen and lounge facilities."
"Nice accommodation, very good service and very good food at reasonable prices. <br/>Would recommend to anybody passing trough.<br/>Staff went out of their way to help with all needs"
"<p>The owners go out of their way to accommodate you. They got up at the crack of dawn to bake fresh bread and represent it so attractively with their homemade jams/ konfyt. The house is usually decorated and comfortable. The homemade dinner served in the main living room, made to look like a restaurant, was so filling and tasty and so reasonably / cheaply priced for a 3 course meal. Well done and many thanks to Dirk and Elsabe.</p><p>From: Mike and Debbie (Somerset West)</p><p></p>"
"Ons het baie lekker gekuier by Dirk en Elsabe. Hul gasvryheid het ons laat voel soos familie.....en ons is omtrent bederf. Baie dankie.<br />"
"It is a good stop over place between CT and the Kgalagadi. Nice accomodation , nice meal and very friendly and helpful people.<br />"
"Very Hot place, but the owner and his wife went out of their way to let us feel at home. Very friendly and beautiful people.Food was define and worth wile to go and stay with them again. If the Hotel is up and running we will definitely come to see how it looks like. Thanks we enjoyed our stayvery much."
"Baie netjiese en gerieflike oornag akkomodasie. N ketel en miskien n mikrogolf in die kamer sal dit meer gerieflik maak dan maak mens nie inbreuk op mekaar se privaatheid nie. Kan dit beslis aanbeveel<div>Abri en Mariheta</div>"
