• "A stop-over NEVER to be overlooked!"

  02 March 2017

  "Keimoes is beautiful, but hot - very hot! And the Overlook was the perfect oasis on our journey between JHB and the West Coast! Anna and Eric were the perfect hosts, providing a very comfortable stay in the most picturesque setting! And to top it off, they accommodated the most important member of our family - our puppy Blake!"

• "Perfect place"

  06 January 2017

  "Nice pool.<br/>Our late booking hadn't come through properly (or rather the owner had missed it), so the first night we had to stay in the appartement in the house, certainly not as nice as the chalets, but still fine. No outside area, but we could dit at the poolside of course, which was great. Second bed in the appartement in the house is very bad. Old and not good enough for renting out to guests, we had to put the matress on the floor.."

• "Great location and amenities"

  15 November 2016

  "The units are perched on a hilltop with a terrific view of the Orange River valley - and just below the chalets are a braai and a swimming pool with the same view. A great place for a weekend getaway somewhere warm."

• "Peaceful stay at the Overlook"

  04 July 2016

  "We were unfortunately for a very short stay at this beautiful place in Keimoes. We could have stayed another day or two. The swimming pool and braai area is beautiful and we did not even have time to explore it... The chalet is very nicely equipped with everything you might need, even filter coffee! Thank you so much, we enjoy our very short time very much!"

• "Brilliant Stay"

  19 January 2015

  "A bright very stylish room with fantastically comfortable bed - which also offers self catering.Don't self cater - allow Eric to cook you up a storm served on your private patio - we had one of the best 3 course meals since forever. (NB not licensed so bring your own).A sparkling rim flow pool with fantastic views over the grapes.What more do you want (and reasonably priced) - we will definitely stay again."

  12 July 2013

  "This is a modern, and comfortable establishment with a scenic view over the vineyards. A communal braai area is located about 20 metres from the cottages and unit has its own kitchenette. As we only overnighted, I strongly suspect we missed what could have been the highlight of the stay - the opportunity to experience the hosts excellent culinary skills!"

  09 January 2013

  "Awesome view of the wine farms on the banks of the Orange River. The cottage was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Very nice braai and pool areas.

  24 December 2012

We enjoyed sundowners "over-looking" the stunning view of the vineyards and river. We enjoyed Eric's legendary cooking on our stoep. The "squaredavel" was superb accommodation - everything one could want. It was a great way to start and end our holiday in the KTP."

• "Worth the trip just for the experience"

  09 August 2012

  "Eric, the host is a softly spoken American with culinary skills to spare. As a host he is brilliant and his intellect is a surprise find in Keimoes. Although Keimoes may not be on everyone's list of places to visit, from now on it's on ours! The family room was a delightful experience as was his great breakfast. The braai facilities and view are outstanding and the pool exquisite. A great find."
