Meijer's Rust

Price and clean

Nothing

We enjoyed the quiet farm time. It was a convenient stay over to be close to Meiringspoort for a family walk. We enjoyed the little town De Rust. The owner was very helpfull and friendly.

There is nothing not to like.

Beautiful location and unit had everything we needed.

Nothing we did not like.

Spacious bathroom with clawfoot tub, shower, two basins as well as a seperate toilet and bidet. Clean towels were provided. The kitchen is well equiped. The chalet is also equiped with an air conditioner. The chalet is small, but charming and has a small porch. There are plenty of birds.

It was extremely dry and nothing like the pictures on Booking.com's website. No water in any of the dams. No waterfalls as advertised. No grass in front of the chalet. Broken braai grid. Shower door couldn't close - need new rubber. Water outlet in shower broken. We planned to swim, braai and relax on the porch every day, but were not informed that there are no water in the dam at the cottages. I realise that the extreme drought is not the owner's fault, and I have sympathy with their situation, but I also feel that I have the right to know if the amenities are not as advertised. We would definately not have stayed there if we knew we couldn't swim. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon. The whole porch and chalet was full of ants. We drove to town to buy ant poison, but all the shops were closed. We could not braai or sit on the porch, as the ants climbed on us and bit us. It was horrific. We couldn't even stand in the kitchen without being bitten by ants. The next day we bought ant poison in town. That evening we could at least sit on the porch and have a braai. The mats were full of hair and were definately not vacuumed recently. We wanted a quite, peaceful farmstay, but could hear traffic day and night. We didn't expect to hear traffic on a farm. We thought we would hear farm animals...
