"Quirky & fun with a courtyard full of exploration. Peter goes out of his way to make you feel welcome and is a story teller of note. Clean, comfortable room with all the necessary amenities. Lovely little town to explore on foot"

"DANKIE ONS HET HEERLIK GEKUIER BY JULLE..
DANKIE VIR JUL GASVRYHEID EN DIE HEERLIKE KOS... SAL VERSEKER WEER DRAAI"

"With very friendly hosts, simple but comfortable accommodation, and LOTS of quaint and quirky 'things' in all directions - it was a fun stopover. Delicious pizzas for dinner."

"What a gem in the middle of the Karoo. If you enjoy Kwerky and different then this is the place to be. Pieter as host is great; and staff very friendly. Best pizza I have had anywhere.

Highly recommend a visit. nothing else like it; real value for money"

"A wonderful experience one to be enjoyed again"

"

"We really enjoyed our stay at Die Ark. Lovely people and a good vibe on a unique character property. If you are looking for something different , check out this spot.

"Die Ark is a fabulous guest house. It is filled with beautiful curiosities and the most welcoming warm hosts. Meals are delicious and generous portions of traditional 'boere kos'.

Highly recommend Die Ark to all travelers."

"Netjies en huislik"

"Different to say the least, but exceptional in terms of hospitality, down to earth approach and excellent value for money. Nothing was too much for outstanding hosts Pieter and Elmarie Naude. I am glad the right choice was made in such a small town and will go back again. A wonderful homely atmosphe..."

"Different to say the least, but exceptional in terms of hospitality, down to earth approach and excellent value for money. Nothing was too much for outstanding hosts Pieter and Elmarie Naude. I am glad the right choice was made in such a small town and will go back again. A wonderful homely atmosphere from cosy fires to ducks and dogs and cats. Truly enjoyable. Thanks for Safari's nice touch too in facilitating an effortless booking experience."

"Definitely worth a visit. Rich in character and very interesting."

"Very very nice with super friendly people and animals (pets). Among all the beautiful treasures in and around the place there should be at least a shelf in the shower for soap and shampoo and some more hooks for towels etc. - otherwise no complaints. We will pop in again one day on our next RSA holi..."

"After a long and warm travel from Cape Town, and 100 km detour on the first leg of a two-day journey to Kathu, we reached Williston.

"After a long and warm travel from Cape Town, and 100 km detour on the first leg of a two-day journey to Kathu, we reached Williston.

Who would have thought that a 'one-horse town' could have a mall? Die Ark B&B and mall are uniquely different. An oasis and refreshing after a long journey and surely highly recommended for a stopover.

The owners have created a beautiful rustic and authentic haven where locals can meet and relax after a long day or have a great meal, while children can play and have fun in the mini play area or the pool.

Someone even offered to babysit our little 17 month baby girl while we relaxed, had a braai and enjoyed friendly local and visitor company. We had a lovely night's stay and can highly recommend it!"

"We loved it but it is not for everyone. The room décor is old hubcaps and vinyl records fixed to the walls."

"Whilst we arrived on a night off for the owner there was a great alternative meal option on offer in the village.

"Whilst we arrived on a night off for the owner there was a great alternative meal option on offer in the village. Accommodation was quirky, comfy and homey and in total keeping with the character of the place. The magic came alive the next morning with the opening of the restaurant and shop. Wonderful breakfast enjoyed, set by the fireside. Cheerful, confident staff bustled about, happy pets everywhere and so much to see and explore, something for everyone. Local handcrafts filled the shop and we gained so much info on the local architecture and history whilst filling our basket. Worth more than just a one night stop over...Oh!! and the owners so deserved their night off after the work on the Winterfees the previous weekend and all the passion they have for the town.
We will be back!!"

"We had a very warm hearty stay at The Ark. The owners, before departing the next morning, took us for a very interesting tour around their place, which we enjoyed very much.

We can truly recommend The Ark B&B."

"This is truly an oasis in the middle of nowhere. My wife and daughter loved the mall and the numerous exhibits brought back some fond memories. Friendly staff, excellent food and comfortable rooms made it an excellent destination for a stopover. Will definitely return."

(Rooms For Africa translated)
We really enjoyed it. They were busy making a movie and still had time for us. Our visit was very nice. We had the most wonderful breakfast with an interesting cup of coffee . Food was very nice. Although they were very busy getting ready for the peak season they made us feel welcome. greetings"

"When I saw the name, Die Ark, the first time on Rooms for Africa, I just knew I wanted to get accommodation there. I was so glad when they could accommodate us.

"When I saw the name, Die Ark, the first time on Rooms for Africa, I just knew I wanted to get accommodation there. I was so glad when they could accommodate us. My husband, my dad, aged 82 years and I was on our way to Riversdale for my uncle's 90th birthday. We left Kempton Park late the afternoon of the 2nd of January, after having problems with our motor vehicle. Arriving in the quiet early morning of 02:10 in Williston's gravel streets, I was suddenly wide awake. What a surprise. We had a hearty welcome by Elmarie. My Dad was safe in his room, Lewiesa se matrasse. The furniture reminded him of times when he was a child. In our luxury room was an old green radio. I had to take a photo. My husband grew up with the same, just a red one. I can go on like this. There are so many things to see. I will tell everybody go and have a look. Everything is beyond description. It’s the drive worth. Things that remind old and young of something they had seen or experienced sometime in their life. It’s not the same what you have in your mind of the "ark" you know of Noah in the Bible, it’s so different.
While we had breakfast that can get even 6 stars, two young teenage girls of the town was having a cooling down in Die Ark's "SWIMMING POOL".A round cement pool, the size of an average Jacuzzi today, they had so much fun. This gets me thinking what an experience this will be for city children.
I took photos of so many things. Things you see there that you cannot imagine in your wildest dreams. I will definitely visit The Ark again and for more than one night, a week can do. Thank you so much again, the owners of Die Ark for your warm welcome and the early morning coffee. My dad said that of all the places we stayed at on our week holiday, he will remember this place the best.
