About Rose Cottage

Rose Cottage is an AA Recommended accommodation. It is a wonderful self-catering guest house complex situated halfway between Johannesburg and Cape Town. It has easy access to the N1 highway, only five minutes away.It is an ideal pit stop for the weary guest simply wanting to break their journey to have a single night sleepover, or for the guest wanting to spend some extra days enjoying what the beautiful Gariep Dam village and surrounding area has to offer. Experience great accommodation at a very reasonable price. Soak up the crispy Karoo air, look up at night sky and see billions of stars, identify the Milky Way, and watch the satellites pass overhead - food for your soul.Gariep Dam was voted Tourist Town of the Year in 2010 and is an absolutely crime-free area.Enjoy superb water sports, yachting and fishing, and game reserves at South Africa's number one microlite and gyro paradise. Gariep Dam has supermarkets, restaurants and pubs and cute home-style cafés. The Gariep Dam is just 20 km from Colesberg and is South Africa's largest dam, appropriately renamed Lake Gariep; truly the heart of the country. Rose Cottage is divided into multiple separate and independent, fully equipped self-catering units. All our units have either Simonz or Spine-Master beds with ice-white, highest quality linen and towels for your comfort. Most of our units have been fitted with air-conditioning for those extra-hot Karoo days, as well as heaters and indoor braai areas to snuggle up to on those chilly nights.

                      The towels were fantastic. Cottage was spotless but could do with some TLC on the locks of the doors. Location was good. No view of the dam but this was not a problem. Enjoyed our stay.

                      The area where the accommodation was situated was revolting. We did not feel safe at all neither did we feel that out vehicle and trailer were safe either. We did not stay and rather drove on.

                      The Rooibekkie is value for money and equipped to acommodate all your needs. The mattresses are topnotch and comfy.

                      We made a mistake by booking for two nights because it is definitely only a stop over considering the unit we stayed in. The couches were not comfortable, considering driving for 8 hours and try to relax on these couches is very painful to a persons back. We never got the unit we booked for Rooibekkie, but was given another unit without informing us before time.

                      Check in is very easy, apartment access is open, keys inside: trust to guests is appreciated. All you need for self-catering is available, Checkout: just lose door.
