The communication with the owner / manager Colin was very good and he went out of his way to assist as with requests we had.
The house we stayed in is well equipped and the location was perfect.
I would have liked to stay for longer and explore the area a bit, but we planned to only stay one night this time.

I just love staying in this magical, comfortable spot. It is my favorite stay over and makes me happy and restores my soul. The beds are comfy, the showers large with good hot water showers. The kitchen has everything you could need. A wonderful braai area outside. A complimentary bottle of varkenskraal wine in the fridge. Complimentary milk, tea coffee. A lovely walk to the dam. The Meiringspoort waterfall a 10 minute drive away.

We arrived for one night on Jan 3 2023 and basically De Rust was closed.
All restaurants had the night off save for one pub who managed to serve us their last 2 portions of bobotie thankfully. Could not even get fuel for the car or cash out of the ATM.

We loved this beautiful little town in a panoramic setting with various vintage deli's, coffee shops and antique shops. Meiringspoort is jaw-dropping beautiful.
The let-down was the begging children day and night in the street where tourists walk and eat. They were clearly on drugs. The one was extremely forceful and stood infront of our car, refusing to move unless we gave him money and the same child followed us all the way as we walked to our restaurant and back to our accommodation again later that night. It definitely did not feel safe and felt sad at the same time. Surely this should be a social responsibility issue for the town management to sort out?

Nice quaint little village.
We tested the hiking trail on the Meijers Rust farm, which were nice. Saw a large group of baboons and some buck.
Also the Meiringspoort waterfall is well worth a visit - short walk from the parking up to the waterfall and the scenery is just spectacular.

Small but charming, surrounded by lovely mountains, on the South side of the Meiringspoort Pass. A good trip would loop around Meiringspoort Pass (tarred, easy driving) to Prince Albert and return via Swartberg Pass (tougher driving). Both of these Passes take a while to drive, both are worth the effort, and are different enough to make both worthwhile.

Friendly and hospitable people.
Friendly and hospitable people. It is always a pleasure to stop when traveling through De Rust and our weekend stay was memorable and pleasant.
Many nice place and for an excellent meal, stop at the Spekboom Restaurant at the Rooi Donkie. You will love it
Nice big family rooms in a good location. De Rust is a charming little village at the foot of the Swartberg Pass, with lots of little restaurants (next time we’ll try those).
Braai facilities and communal garden and pool are well maintained and create a nice place to chat to some of the other people staying there (although there is enough space to keep your distance if you prefer your privacy).
En voor de Nederlandse toerist altijd leuk om een landgenoot te ontmoeten als eigenaar van dit leuke plekje.
Varkenskraal is an undiscovered jewel. The property is situated in a very scenic, secluded part of the Meiringspoort which is close to the town De Rust. The house which we stayed in was spotlessly clean, well equipped and very comfortable. Whilst there is limited cellphone coverage in the area, the property has a strong Wi-Fi network . I highly recommended this property to anybody who wants to break away from the hustle and bustle of mainstream accommodation options.
Amazing location and lovely finishes inside, the soundproofing is great between the Chalets. The mountains are breathtaking, felt safe and secure and wished we stayed longer. We had our 2 dogs with us and were able to explore the beautiful farm, big bonus. Very close to Meiringspoort Waterfall and the town De Rust. The Owner is friendly and there is wood available to purchase.
We had a wonderful time at De Rusty farm -- it was incredible value for money. Karla and her husband were very hospitable, and when we found a small garden snake in our room they were really helpful in immediately coming to remove it (with plenty of regard for us and for the snake). It's also an excellent stopping point on the way to Eastern Cape.
We stayed at the Casita. It is a lovely studio unit that is well furnished for its size. It even has its own inverter to avoid loadshedding. The sparkling pool in front of the unit is great for cooling down on a hot summer’s day. We can recommend Rus in De Rust to any of our fellow travelers.
Our friendly and interesting host added to the value of our stay. She is well balanced. If we ever should go to De Rust again and this accommodation is available, there is no doubt, we will go and stay there again.
Owners and staff were amazingly friendly and very helpful. It is a great venue to use when you are a group and overall we had a lovely weekend breakaway in De Rust.
Anmarie was an excellent hostess and ensured that we were well looked after. Beautiful and very neat cottage.
Most definitely coming back. We love De Rust!!
