Very good self catering accommodation. Well designed. Well equipped. Tastefully finished and decorated. Comfortable, warm (winter visit) and quiet. The kind of place I would hesitate to use again in preference to others Ive used in Calvina which were also good.

An outstanding self-catering experience. Our units were clean and excellently kitted with modern bathrooms and piping hot water. Great TV and WIFI, ample kitchenware, nice heated blankets. Exceptional value for money.

Peaceful and pristine. The cottage is well equipped and was clean and tidy. The outdoor area had green green grass and nice pool and braai area. The stars at night are amazing.

A little house away from home. Short stay, but it offered what we needed. Beautiful views of the landscape and mountains. Being woken up by the distant noises of the sheep was welcomed. We enjoyed eating our meals outside since the weather was really great. Great service over all. Check in and out was quick and easy. Only problem was I could not mail my letter in town. The red mailbox was too tall to reach the top.

Farm like feel with a modern touch to it. The beds are amazing with its memory foam feeling, best bed so far from all the other guests houses Ive been to! And the high ceiling makes it for me!Price is also budget friendly, so this is definitely a winner option 👌

Lovely oasis on the edge of town. The swimming pool in our unit was a huge bonus! Calm and tranquil with a lovely lawn and braai area and stunning views. Inside is well kept, clean and comfortable. We will be back.

What an oasis agter a long trip. Accomodation is lovely and the host and hostess are welcoming. The units are clean and have all the basic necessities for a lovely stay. There is electric blankets on the beds as well as air-conditioning for cold and warm nights. Our unit also had a outside braai which was a lovely addition. A big plus point is the full DSTV package on the tv. Would definitely recommend a stay here and would definitely return if in the area again!

On the evenings of 10 and 20 August 2017 we slept in and out of the Kgalagadi. Hendrina immediately made us feel at home in her stylish and painstakingly neat units. It was wonderfully quiet and we felt particularly safe. The units are spacious, beautifully finished and nicely furnished. Furthermore, it was very affordable for us. Weve slept in many places, but Tarantula is the best. We will definitely visit them again and tell others about the particular place.
