Set amidst some of the most beautiful Klein Karoo scenery, about 20 kilometres south of Dysselsdorp, is a guest house run by a most dedicated farming couple, Dick and Mary Carr. The spacious, three bedroomed cottage, with en-suite bathrooms is a pleasure to behold. Lovely bedrooms and comfortable beds provided a most welcome rest from the rush of city life.... More

Rolbaken is a really special place. 45km from the nearest town in beautiful countryside you stay on a farm. Your detached house is well away from the main farmhouse, with space & views all around. We stayed here with our 2 year old son, this was his favourite place, a ride on Dick's blue tractor was the highlight of his... More

Within a year, our second visit to this hidden Little Karoo gem – again, holidaying together with younger generation of family members. Rolbaken hosted two major events for us – wedding anniversary and New Year’s Eve – both of them handled superbly by our generous hosts Dick and Mary (from the incredibly pretty flowers to the delicious dinners and breakfasts)...

Yet again we so enjoyed Dick and Mary's warm hospitality. We recommend Rolbaken to anyone looking for peaceful, luxurious and beautiful retreat in the country. Dogs love it too!

How do you improve on perfection? We stayed here in January 2011 and recently returned. Nothing has changed. The welcome was as good as before, the food was, if anything, even better than last time. Mary's ostrich salad was unbelievably delicious and, indeed, every meal we had in our three day stay was outstanding. Dick and Mary are the best... More

If there's one thing i'll remember from my holiday in south africa it's the stay at this wonderful place. Great location if you want to get away from the humdrum of the city life, with excellent hospitality and food. We thoroughly enjoyed the great conversations over meals with Dick and Mary, who manage the place so meticulously. Clean rooms, warm... More

Due previous reviews on TA me and a friend spontaneously decided to stay at Mary and Dick's for two nights on our way through SA. Firstly we found previous reviews to be fully credible and simply have to write, that our stay was the best stay during our journey and enriched our holiday by very special experiences. If you should... More

We arrived after a long drive and even after getting lost. It was all dark and we were really tired. Mary and Dick waited for us with dinner, and as soon as we arrived we knew it was worth it. The guest house is comfortable, with a beautiful garden and the hosts really make you feel like you are at... More
