What a great start to our honeymoon! We were greeted by warm-hearted people as if we were family. We were spoiled with a lovely room, champagne and a very special gift. Mary told us all about the history of Rolbaken and invited us for a stroll to the dam to watch the sunset. Dick told us all about their future... more

Everything at this place is delightful. When driving up an, what seemed like endless, gravel road and not seeing a sole, we arrived at Rolbaken - it is exactly as the photos show, it is set in beautiful landscape, you get the whole house to lounge about in and if you allow them (which I strongly recommend) the owners Dick... more

The Pretorius and Coetzee families of Port Elizabeth travelled to the area to run the Meiringspoort Half Marathon. My wife, Adri, has an amazing ability to find interesting places for holidays and short breaks and this was no exception. Dick and Mary are interesting and very generous hosts. The house is perfect for more than one couple and children and... more

We arrived at Rolbaken in the dark and cold,but were soon revitalised by the warm welcome by Dick and Mary. Mary had made a pan of soup just in case we were hungry, and offered us a warm welcome.

We stayed here for 3 nights in early April. It was during the KKNK Festival in Oudtshoorn and we were glad we had booked well in advance. We travelled into the area via the beautiful route R62 and Oudtshoorn was heaving with people. The farm and accommodation is a little way out of Oudtshoorn and the final 20km is along... more

We stayed in Rolbaken in January this year. It was the fourth place of nine that we stayed in on our honeymoon in South Africa, and it was certainly the most memorable. We had been in the country just over a week when we arrived in Rolbaken and in that time my new husband (!) had been sick for three... more
