"A lovely Guest House with excellent facilities and very helpful and friendly staff. Lovley room with wi fi and every facility we could require. We loved the lake with the black swans and all the ducks!

The restaurant was excellent serving well presented dishes in very pleasant surroundings.

Some of the information in the room folder maybe needs to be reviewed as there were one or two details about the surrounding area that were not accurate eg the water tunnels and the power station.

The room was modern and luxurious, with lovely bedding. It was so cozy. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. It was tranquil. To be outside and just enjoy staring up at the sky was incredible. A big thanks to the hosts and staff for their friendly and helpful service. I'd definitely go back to stay again, and I'd recommend to others. "

"Coming from Krugersdorp in Gauteng for a much needed rest from the rat-race we could not have chosen better than to stay at the absolutely fabulous Vergelegen Guest House 3 km outside the lovely town of Kakamas! With the lovely warm (42 degrees) Green Kalahari weather we could cool off in the sparkling pool and have our breakfasts and dinners outside in the most beautiful and romantic setting! With the very friendly and competent staff we enjoyed wonderful breakfasts and master chef-style dinners which were as pleasing to the eye as was the taste! The coffee machine is out of this world! The beautiful self contained suite with everything immaculate and welcoming (and air conditioning!) with private garden was just what we needed to really unwind and relax! The service from all staff members from the owners to the cleaners was outstanding! Driving away from the Vergelegen Guest house this morning and making our way to Upington Airport we vowed to come back again and we would not want to change a thing about our 5-day stay! "

"It was the 3rd time I was staying with you. 2 times before via EOSTA your regular client and I will come back more often with EOSTA. But this time I was there privately because I love your place. It is not only very stylish in a nice way but also very practical. All is very nicely chosen. I also appreciate that you employ gay men as I (coming from Cape Town) feel that they are often disadvantaged in the rural areas.

My suggestion would be to change the orange juice you serve in the morning. We live in a country of fresh oranges but the juice you serve tastes very artificial.
