The communication with the owner / manager Colin was very good and he went out of his way to assist as with requests we had.
The house we stayed in is well equipped and the location was perfect.
I would have liked to stay for longer and explore the area a bit, but we planned to only stay one night this time.

I just love staying in this magical, comfortable spot. It is my favorite stay over and makes me happy and restores my soul. The beds are comfy, the showers large with good hot water showers. The kitchen has everything you could need. A wonderful braai area outside. A complimentary bottle of varkenskraal wine in the fridge. Complimentary milk, tea coffee. A lovely walk to the dam. The Meiringspoort waterfall a 10 minute drive away.

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.
Friendly reception by owners, who are doing their best to resuscitate this long-closed hotel, They were well-informed about the area and happy to share with us. Secure parking provided for our car much appreciated. Artwork and public room finishings made for a warm atmosphere.
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.
Anmarie was an excellent hostess and ensured that we were well looked after. Beautiful and very neat cottage.
Most definitely coming back. We love De Rust!!
