Die gasheer en -vrou het ons vriendelik ontvang en tuis laat voel. Hulle het 'n gerieflike ligging en die verblyf is absoluut perfek skoon en netjies. Ek kan aan niks negatief dink t.o.v die verblyf nie. Die aandete was ook uit die boonste rakke en 'n perfekte afsluiting vir ons kort wegbreek. Ek kan hulle ten sterkste aanbeveel.

Gerieflike oorslaap - pragtige tuin.

Ons het oorgebly op pad terug van 'n vyfdag motorfietsrit na Graaff-Reinet. Jan en Theresa het ons vriendelik verwelkom en was in alles baie behulpsaam. Kamer is gerieflik toegerus met alles wat nodig is en kamer en badkamer onberispelik skoon. Gemaalde koffie verskaf met Franse pers (plunger) was baie welkom, so ook die kraffie plaaslike sjerrie van Doornkraal af. Lekker stoepie buite kamer waar mens jou koffie (en/of glasie sjerrie) kan geniet terwyl jy uitkyk oor die pragtige tuin. Veilige parkering. Gemaklike stapafstand van verskeie eetplekke, algemene handelaar en drankwinkel. Nabyheid aan hoofstraat kan ligte slapers pla.

Comfortable overnight stay - beautiful garden.

We stayed on the way back from a five day motorbike ride to Graaff-Reinet. Jan and Theresa welcomed us kindly and were very helpful in everything. Room is comfortably equipped with everything needed and room and bathroom impeccably clean. Ground coffee provided with a French press (plunger) was very welcome, as was the craft local sherry from Doornkraal. Nice porch outside the room where you can enjoy your coffee (and/or glass of sherry) while looking out over the beautiful garden. Secure parking. Easy walking distance to various eateries, general merchandise and liquor store. Proximity to high street may bother light sleepers.

Uitstekende verblyf op De Rust,

House Martin was weereens 'n goeie ondervinding. Die eienaars is uitgeknip vir hul beroep - hulle berei selfs hul heerlike aandetes voor en gaan uit hul pad om gaste welkom te laat voel. Die kamers is mooi en baie netjies. Hul binnehoftuin is 'n lushof, en die kuier-area langs die swembad is net 'n vreugde. Die nagverkeer van enkele vragmotors is 'n realiteit, maar nie 'n ernstige klagte nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Excellent accommodation on De Rust,

House Martin was once again a good experience. The owners are cut out for their profession - they even prepare their delicious dinners and go out of their way to make guests feel welcome. The rooms are beautiful and very tidy. Their courtyard garden is a loop court, and the lounging area next to the pool is just a joy. The night traffic of single trucks is a reality, but not a serious complaint.

In die middel van die mooiste dorpie - De Rust. Maak beslis 'n indruk!

Ons was so vriendelik ontvang. Die kamer was netjies en al die nodige Covid-19 protokols was gevolg. Ons sal beslis weer daar wil vertoef. Dit was 'n baie aangename rusplek na die lang pad se ry.

Housemartin Guest Lodge is located on the main road through De Rust but has a very tranquil atmosphere behind their garden wall. Supper and breakfast can be supplied on request and were of excellent quality. Our hosts, Theresa and Jan, were always helpful and knowledgeable on activities in the De Rust/Oudtshoorn area. No hesitation in recommending it for those requiring lodgings to be able to view the outstanding Meiringspoort Pass.

Delightful tranquility!

I would recommend House Martin to anybody. It sets standards that other establishments could only hope for. We had a wonderful, comfortable stay. Our hosts Theresa and Jan met our every need and more so. Just being able to sit in the tranquil garden after a long journey was a treat and the pool braai area was just what the doctor ordered. I am a biker and have stayed at many an establishment through the years and I found House Martin the best of the lot. I will be back with my wife as I know she will love this marvelous oasis in the Karoo. Many thanks to Jan and Theresa for their wonderful hospitality.

Dear Elke

Thank you for taking the time to review our lodge. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay.
You are correct, the road is at times busy. Although our lodge is in a 60 km per hour zone, we find that the some of the heavier vehicles that pass, are louder due to the uneven road surface. The road will be resurfaced in the next couple of months and we're confident that the covered surface will reduce the noise.

Once again, thank you for the review and hope to see you again.

Geweldige plek om te zijn, lieve en behulpzame mensen.

We hadden de aangepaste kamer, ivm mijn rolstoel gebruik. De douche was prima en er was een zeer ruime aangepaste toilet. De kamer was zeer ruim. Alle kamers zijn zo ruim, dus niet alleen de aangepaste kamer. Het dorp zelf zijn we niet echt ingeweekt. Er zijn wat winkels en kunstzaken, maar de meeste zijn niet rolstoeltoegankelijk. Er was een heerlijke tuin om in te wandelen en te zitten. Maar het was ook heerlijk vertoeven op je eigen veranda. Theresa en Jan, de eigenaren, waren heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. In principe is er geen ontbijt, maar hier kan je wel voor kiezen als je daar bent. Theresa bakt heerlijke verse scones en croissants, dus zeker de moeite waard.

Voel soos huis weg van jou eie huis!

Die gasheer en gasvrou het regtig baie moeite gedoen om ons te laat welkom voel en uit hul pad gegaan om vir ons 'n heerlike braai te reël met slaaie vir aandete. Die lodge en tuine is wonderskoon. Al wat my gepla het was die verkeer deur die nag, want van die kamers se agterkant lê baie na aan die hoofpad deur de Rust.

Feel like home away from home!

The host and hostess really went out of their way to make us feel welcome and went out of their way to arrange a delicious barbecue for us with salads for dinner. The lodge and gardens are stunningly beautiful. All that bothered me was the traffic during the night, because some of the rooms' backs are very close to the main road through de Rust.

Baie dankie dat ons so lekker saam met julle kon kuier. Ja die pad is maar partykeer probleem. Die verkeer stop darem laat aand en begin eers weer vroeg in die more. Jammer as dit met julle verblyf die aand erg was. Vriendelike groete Karen

Ideal accommodation for TransBaviaans.

The owners were very helpful, they got up early to make us some breakfast before TransBaviaans. The rooms were comfortable. All round very happy with the accommodation.

Netjiese plek met al die geriewe wat benodig word.

Groot problem is dat dit teen die hoofstraat geleë is. Vragmotors se geraas in die nag is erg steurend. Ons het ontbyt geëet by die anneks restaurant - goeie ete en waarde vir geld. Kamer het "panel heater" wat ons redding was - kort iets soos 'n kaggel of so om meer gesellig voor te kom.

Neat place with all the necessary facilities.

A big problem is that it is in the main road. The trucks' noise in the night bothered a lot. We had breakfast at the annex restaurant - good meal and good value for money. The room had a panel heater which was our saving grace - it needs a fireplace or something to make it more cosy.

Ja ons verkeer kan partykeer sleg wees. Dit stop gelukkig vroeg aand en begin dan weer vroeg oggend. Ons is besig met aanplantings om dit sagter te maak. Jammer vir daardie een. Groete Karen

Fantastiese fasiliteite, pragtige tuin teen 'n té goedkoop tarief vir dit wat alles gebied word.

Vriendelike eienaars wat jou dadelik tuis laat voel. Onverbeterlike fasiliteite en restaurant. Ongelooflik netjies en ruim. Sal beslis weer daar oorbly.

Ons was reeds 11:00 in De Rust en dit was geen probleem vir ons gasvrou nie. Word sterk aanbeveel.

Baie netjies en skoon. Dit was die tweede keer daar en sal weer by HouseMartin oorbly.

Aangename verblyf.

Ons het baie lekker oornag by Housemartin. Kamer was baie netjies en skoon. Gasvrou en haar man baie vriendelike mense wat deurentyd seker gemaak het dat ons gerieflik was en sommer net lekker gesels het asof ons mekaar al lankal ken sonder om familiêr te wees. Ons beveel Housemartin beslis aan!

Pleasant stay.

We had a very nice overnight stay at Housemartin. Room was very neat and clean. Hostess and her husband very friendly people who constantly made sure that we were comfortable and just had a nice chat as if we had known each other for a long time without being familiar. We definitely recommend Housemartin!

Ons was verras om hierdie puik plek in De Rust te kry. Ontvangs was hartlik. Kamer was skoon en netjies en so koel na die lang pad. Die stilte was ongelooflik. Kan dit vir enige persoon aanbeveel. Baie dankie!

Comfortable, spotless accommodation.

The perfect stop-over! I highly recommend the accommodation at House Martin! Very comfortable, clean rooms in tranquil setting. We were hoping to be able to get supper at their restaurant (see website) but were told that it is only open 'in season'. Unlike several other towns on (or close to) Route 62, De Rust seems not to have any places (or local restaurants) of particular interest to travelers.

Picture paints a thousand words ...

No words can describe this gem (and its owners). Karen and Garth greeted us with open arms. Beautifully renovated and painted cottages await you at this perfect located lodge. Even before entering the cottage the veranda with table and chairs make you feel at home. Upon opening the genuine yellow wood door a queen size bed with pure white linen welcomes you. As De Rust can be chilly in the evening an electric blanket is available. The bathroom has underfloor heating and a piping hot shower. On the same premises there is a restaurant that serves excellent food. And to top it all there are tea and coffee facilities as well as two glasses and a flask filled with Muscadel. But as a visual presentation is far more descriptive than words I suggest you visit yourself - we will most definitely stay there shortly again.

Namiddag arriveer, middagslapie geneem, aandete geniet en die bed opgesoek. Vroeg die volgende oggend vertrek.

Gul ontvangs, puik akkommodasie - netjies, skoon en gerieflik. Goed geleë, dus baie maklik om te vind. Ek beveel dit aan met 'n geruste hart en sal weer daar wil tuisgaan.
