    Such a warm welcome fr What a warm welcome from Barbara and Johan. The staff were we're fantastic. We had lunch, dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and loved each meal.

    Well...... this is a place well worth the detour. The Ibis, Stirling restaurant run by Barbara offers an authentic Karoo tasting menu which is well worth trying. Not only are you staying in the middle of the desert but now you can now taste it. And not at Cape Town fine dining prices either! The town is rather quiet and probably suites most visitors looking for serenity and peace! The rooms was comfortable with just the right amount of karma for a happy stay! Nothing at all. Well worth every cent spent and more!

    The guesthouse was well situated in the center of the little village, the room was spacious and comfortable and the facilities in the room was well appointed for a convenient stay. The host was most helpful with advice on restaurants, cash access and fuel availability, a thoughtful extra touch. The Lady who received us was super friendly and helpful and cooked us a delicious breakfast the following day. The garden was filled with lovely white roses and the decor was interesting and artistic. A very pleasant experience overall. No recommendations come to mind

    This little town is just amazing, and Ibis Lounge fits into it well. The building and its layout are interesting. We were greeted with a friendly mint spritzer and a big smile and our host was great through a difficult power outage. Breakfast was very nice and served in a lovely room. It is a dusty town and, because it's a heritage building, the room size was a bit skimpy, but beds were comfy. Some aspects of the cleanliness of corners and nooks and crannies could do with attention.

    We had an excellent dinner at the Ibis restaurant as well as a very nicely prepared breakfast In general we have nothing to complain about and will recommend the Ibis

    Wonderfull characterful old building, excellently situated. Not so much as what i did not like about the property, but suggestions on what would be great improvements. -for the majestically high ceilings, Ceiling insulation would work wonders for the temperature inside the rooms and the building itself, for both winter and summer, would also be a great energy saver. ( probably not really possible having , what i could observe, a “flat” roof. - in the spacious room, a small bench/table would be great for your luggage. - The fridge would also benefit by lifting it off the floor, by means of a little table - in my bathroom, the basin’s water supply needs to be identified, as the hot and cold water taps are incorrectly piped, leading to wasted water while waiting for hot water. (The taps for the beautiful stand alone bath, and enormous double shower are correctly supplied. Just my 2c worth!
