A little slip up on my behalf not noticing the section that said the cottage needed a high clearance vehicle. They happily changed the room for a cottage lower down, which was just as amazing, spacious and super comfortable too.
Within the Swartberg Mountains, located in the village center of De Rust, HouseMartin Lodge & Self Catering features an outdoor swimming pool, garden and free Wi-Fi access.

The owners of the property go out if their way to make you feel welcome. I highly recommend booking dinner, it was a 3 course feast, home cooked and delicious. The room and bathroom is spacious and comfortable, with a patio overlooking the garden. Good value for the price.
Providing garden views, Doornkraal Tuinhuis in De Rust offers accommodations, a garden, and barbecue facilities. With pool views, this accommodation provides a swimming pool.

Lovely welcoming hosts; even gave us a tour of their incredible 1914 Home, that was imported from England before the 1st World War! Very hospitable! Lovely secluded area.

The View is great and close to shops. The bed was comfortable, and the pool had a nice touch. Frogs at night with the patio doors open and cicada chirring. It was a decent stay but a bit overpriced.
Die Malvahuisie is set in De Rust, on the foothills of the majestic Swartberg Mountain and 7.5 mi away from Meiringspoort Waterfall. This property features a plunge pool.

We arrived for one night on Jan 3 2023 and basically De Rust was closed.
All restaurants had the night off save for one pub who managed to serve us their last 2 portions of bobotie thankfully. Could not even get fuel for the car or cash out of the ATM.

We loved this beautiful little town in a panoramic setting with various vintage deli's, coffee shops and antique shops. Meiringspoort is jaw-dropping beautiful.
The let-down was the begging children day and night in the street where tourists walk and eat. They were clearly on drugs. The one was extremely forceful and stood infront of our car, refusing to move unless we gave him money and the same child followed us all the way as we walked to our restaurant and back to our accommodation again later that night. It definitely did not feel safe and felt sad at the same time. Surely this should be a social responsibility issue for the town management to sort out?

Nice quaint little village.
We tested the hiking trail on the Meijers Rust farm, which were nice. Saw a large group of baboons and some buck.
Also the Meiringspoort waterfall is well worth a visit - short walk from the parking up to the waterfall and the scenery is just spectacular.

Small but charming, surrounded by lovely mountains, on the South side of the Meiringspoort Pass. A good trip would loop around Meiringspoort Pass (tarred, easy driving) to Prince Albert and return via Swartberg Pass (tougher driving). Both of these Passes take a while to drive, both are worth the effort, and are different enough to make both worthwhile.

Friendly and hospitable people.
Friendly and hospitable people. It is always a pleasure to stop when traveling through De Rust and our weekend stay was memorable and pleasant.
Many nice place and for an excellent meal, stop at the Spekboom Restaurant at the Rooi Donkie. You will love it
Nice big family rooms in a good location. De Rust is a charming little village at the foot of the Swartberg Pass, with lots of little restaurants (next time we’ll try those).
Braai facilities and communal garden and pool are well maintained and create a nice place to chat to some of the other people staying there (although there is enough space to keep your distance if you prefer your privacy).
En voor de Nederlandse toerist altijd leuk om een landgenoot te ontmoeten als eigenaar van dit leuke plekje.
The location worked well for us as we arrived by motorbike and Werner gave us secure parking just off the mail road.
We loved the bye-gone era feel , the tranquility , chickens with names, the unhurried feel and warmth of the hotel.
It's very well positioned to explore the town by foot or the surrounding area by vehicle. Very good value, comfortable bed and good WiFi which ticked all our boxes.
Amazing location and lovely finishes inside, the soundproofing is great between the Chalets. The mountains are breathtaking, felt safe and secure and wished we stayed longer. We had our 2 dogs with us and were able to explore the beautiful farm, big bonus. Very close to Meiringspoort Waterfall and the town De Rust. The Owner is friendly and there is wood available to purchase.
The cottage is 8km from De Rust and easy to find. The self catering facilities are good, the water is hot and the braai area excellent. Wood is provided for 2 braai's. The view from the cottage is across the fields to the mountains. It is very quiet and the perfect place to stay for up to 4 people. The price is reasonable.
Our friendly and interesting host added to the value of our stay. She is well balanced. If we ever should go to De Rust again and this accommodation is available, there is no doubt, we will go and stay there again.
Peaceful amongst the vines and views of the mountains.
Well equipped with everything you need to self cater. Very comfortable bed , Not far to De Rust where there was a good selection of restaurants and cafes.
Owners and staff were amazingly friendly and very helpful. It is a great venue to use when you are a group and overall we had a lovely weekend breakaway in De Rust.
Perfect location. Excellent communication with host. Lovely spacious house with beautiful decor & linen. De Rust is an awesome town. Highly recommend a visit.
