"I was pleasantly surprised as I expected the town to have been run down even more by the scourge of small towns in South Africa: municipalities that receive qualified audits, pocket the money, and renege on service delivery. And I felt completely safe, even when I made my way on foot to 'Karoo Koelte' at night before load shedding started (another scourge of mismanaged South Africa). The town was also reasonably clean. I am South African, and have travelled this way many times previously, and loved the small towns of the past. There is hope for Victoria West, with some real attention to the infrastructure by an improved (hopefully) municipality after the recent municipal elections. A historical town, with much to see and do, when promoted properly."
"Pragtige dorpie. Jy moet dit per voet verken om die mooi plekkies en al die rose te sien."
"Komende van die Karoo dit is 'n wonderlike lushof. Weet net nie of dit so sal wees vir die persone van die stede."
"'n Dorpie wat ons beslis weer gaan besoek. Dit het soveel om te bied en om elke hoek en draai wag 'n interessante verrassing."
"Was te kort in Richmond om te oordeel. Ek sou sê dat die huis waarin jy bly bepaal. Nie baie om te sien in Richmond nie, maar die ou tipiese Karoo-huise is baie aantreklik. Uiteraard as jy rus soek is dit die ideale plek."
"As jy daarvan hou om ongestoord klein, plattelandse dorpies met hulle pragtige, historiese argitektuur te verken, dan sal jy beslis van Vosburg hou. Die dorpie is pragtig skoon met 'n wonderlike ou-wêreldse bekoring."
"Ek glo met die inperkings, kan ons gerus meer ons eie land se dorpies gaan besoek. Dit bring ook die ekonomie weer terug in hierdie klein dorpies."
"We didn't have the opportunity nor sufficient time to explore. What we did explore was well presented, clean, homely and warm."
"Gaan besoek gerus die museum op die dorp. Dis interessant om Richmond uit 'n geskiedkundige oogpunt ook te sien."
"Richmond is 'n lieflike Karoodorp en ook 'n boekedorp. Woon elke jaar die Boekbedonnerdfees by aan die einde van Oktober. Draai af van die N1 en jy word dalk heerlik verras."
"Vosburg is 'n skoon en baie netjiese Karoodorp wat goed in stand gehou word."
"Van die beste restaurante vir my in die land. Ibis se tasting menu was ongelooflik en het heerlik onder Andre (Nieu Karoo Country Restaurant) se druiweprieel gekuier. Lieflik."
"Goeie oorslaapplek halfpad Kaap toe. De Vette Muis is 'n lekker eetplek na 'n dag se lang reis."
"Die dorp is rustig en veilig. Die Mumisipaliteit sal baie meer moet doen om die dorp op te knap en besighede te ondersteun om bemarking te doen."
"Nieu Bethesda is off the beaten track and the last section of the road to get to the village is a bad corrugated dirt road. This was my first visit to Nieu Bethesda which is an interesting village. I would make sure beforehand which museums and places of interest are open and when, before booking accommodation, as not everything is open all day and every day. The information on their tourist website is out of date. Take enough cash as the crafters outside the Owl House sell their special creations there. All crafters were friendly, not pushy and very proud of their wares. A very poor community in dire need of tourists for upliftment."
