Description

Situated in the valley of Middelplaas near De Rust, Die Gat Guest House is a farmstead and historic monument owned by the Schoeman family since the early 1800s. Characteristics of the old homestead, such as the paint of German origin on the interior walls of the voorkamer (lounge), the original architectural form of the house and the picturesque environment have ensured that many a South African film has been shot here.

The guest rooms in the outbuildings, previously the school where the Schoeman children were educated, the cart-shed turned winepress, or even an ox wagon used by earlier generations, have been suitably furnished to give you a unique experience of the outdoors.

A visit to the farm and the daily routine, where you get to know the ostrich with its fatal kick, and a visit to the labourers and their families ensure that you get to know the people and life on a typical Klein Karoo farm. The tranquility and peacefulness of Die Gat ensures an unforgettable sleep. You can even sleep with doors wide open so as not to miss the grumbling of ostriches. You can also relax at the special pool of Die Gat, with its beautiful view of the majestic surroundings.

Wonderful experience
Adré Oosthuizen, South Africa
06 January 2012
`n Wonderlike ervaring! Ons was baie verras en het die gasvryheid en pragtige kamers baie geniet. Ons het heerlik gekuier en geëet - een groot fees. Baie dankie. A wonderful experience! We were pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the hospitality and lovely rooms. We had a great time socializing and eating - one big feast. Thank you.
What a wonderful experience!

A pity we could stay only one evening! The initial feeling on arriving at Die Gat was one of "just another guest house on a farm." However, meeting Susan changed everything. Someone really passionate about her trade, making people feel that they are at home! Our room, a converted wine shed, was clean, comfortable and just what we needed. If you visit you have to experience dinner! Wonderful boerekos! And Anton was the perfect host! Please be careful as he is very persuasive when it com ... more

Die Gat was n wonderlike plek. Die Laatmiddag "sunset drive" op na die berg, die kuier om die eet tafel daarna, die smaaklike kos.....!!! As jy wil weet hoe 'n Gaste huis/ gaste plaas moet werk, kom leer by die mense. Ons sien julle gou weer. Die Gat was a wonderful place. From the drives to the food!!! If you want to know how a guest house should work, ask these people. We'll see you again soon.

The family stayed over at Die Gat on our way to Mosselbay. What a great experience. The reception was friendly, the rooms where rustic, beautifully decorated in period décor and the food out of this world. The children stayed in the Oxwagon Room where the beds where set inside a 250 year-old oxwagon while we stayed in the school htat has been converted. The quitness was beautiful and the best is that the cell phone reception is limited to specific areas. Nobody could bother us. T ... more
