    Thìs house is so charming, and the fact that it is just opposite to the Church for all the races we do is great. The Garden is Lovely, and we love the stoep. We love the little pool with the windmill. After the races, it's lovely to cool off. ...

    Although the Casita is the little studio cottage on the property it felt very private. Excellent bathroom and bedroom. Perfect for a couple passing through De Rust for a few nights. Rus in De Rust is probably one of the nicest places we have...

    The house was decorated mid-century style. Beautiful. The stoep outside the bedrooms gave a wonderful view over the mountains while sipping coffee early morning. I loved the bedding. And the beautiful lamps. Actually...everything!

Rus In De Rust is a beautiful 1920's heritage house that has been lovingly restored and beautifully furnished offering spacious accommodation for up to 4 guests. De Rust is a picturesque village at the foot of the Swartberg Mountain range and at the entrance to the world-famous Meiringspoort. The house comprises 2 spacious bedrooms and a bathroom with a toilet and shower. The main bedroom has a queen-size bed and the second bedroom has a double bed. The open plan lounge and dining room lead through to the kitchen equipped with a stove, oven, fridge-freezer, microwave, coffee- and tea-making facilities, crockery and cutlery. There is a separate lounge with a Smart TV with Netflix streaming. Both bedrooms and the living room opens onto a wraparound verandah where guests can sit and enjoy the stunning views over the town and mountains. There is an indoor braai in the kitchen as well as an outdoor braai for guests to enjoy.
Hosting guests are one of those "special" meaningful events where hosts can connect with travellers and the community. It is immensely rewarding when you can share what is special to you to others.
De Rust is a beautiful small village at the gateway to the Klein Karoo, South Africa. Located at the foot of the Swartberge and the world famous Meiringspoort, the name is Dutch and literally translates to "The Rest", referring to the town's original purpose of being a resting place for settlers en route through the challenging terrain of a nearby Swartberg gorge.
