Leaving after only one night to go and stay in a tent!

We stayed in numerous places in South Africa on our three week trip and this place impressed us the most. Yes it is remote so requires a little effort to get to but that is part of its appeal. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. As soon as we arrived we instantly felt more relaxed than we had done anywhere else. Having sports channels to watch UK cricket was an added bonus! The microwave style meals provided in the freezer and the drinks, all done on an honesty basis, were a godsend after a 5 hour drive. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Add to this a farm teaming with bird life to keep my partner happy. We would definitely go back!

The children found it wonderful to go searching for eggs with the owner for breakfast. After the search, they got to feed the alpacas.

The farm experience made it awesome to enjoy some solitude while getting a taste of nature at its best.

Where to start! The setting is gorgeous, the food is fabulous (both the generous breakfasts and the frozen meals), the hosts and staff are so friendly and helpful, the accomodation is very comfortable... We stayed for 6 nights and wished for longer.

Dusk to Dawn was without doubt the very best overnight stay we have ever enjoyed. It was the weekend of the huge snowfall in KZN, and we were traveling back from the Kruger Park, to KZN. When we arrived there, we were told that they had upgraded our accommodation to a unit that has a fireplace, given the FREEZING weather. The unit was a "little home", with everything we could possibly need - it just had a REALLY amazing feel about it. We bought dinner from their deli, which we absolutely loved .... Altogether, it was a PERFECT stop - IDEALLY located just off the N2 - in a safe, warm and nurturing environment.

The accommodation was exceptional. We were upgraded to an amazing bungalow with stunning views overlooking the fields and hills. The rooms were so comfortable and spotlessly clean. The food selection of homemade meals was great. The breakfast was also exceptional. The hosts were so friendly and the animals were a great bonus. The crazy golf was a fun activity to top off a great stay.

Dusk to Dawn is a wonderful place to stop over. I wish we could've stayed a little longer to enjoy the peaceful surroundings of the farm. The unit was absolutely wonderful and incredibly spacious. The breakfast was such a treat, so much choice and delicious. We arrived late in the evening so we emailed ahead and ordered some of Gudrun's pre-prepared meals for dinner, which were warmed up and placed in our unit ready for our arrival - such care was taken to ensure that when we arrived after our long days drive we were well looked after.

We had such a great stay at this amazing guest farm. It is clear that Gudrun & Johann, together with their team of friendly staff members, run Dusk to Dawn with a lot of love. We have nothing but the best to say about the warm welcome we received here and would definitely love to return one day. The rooms are beautifully decorated, the view over the farmland hills is stunning, and the breakfast was easily the most delicious one I had in South Africa! Another thing we enjoyed in particular was the variety of pre-cooked frozen meals available at the farm shop, which made for an excellent dinner option after long days of adventuring and exploring in the Piet Retief area. Vielen Dank für alles! :)

A very pleasant and restful stay. Gudrun kindly upgraded us to a spacious, detached unit which was very nice, with long views over the farm. Very well equipped kitchen area with tea, etc provided. A good bathroom with lovely shower. It was really helpful to be able to choose home cooked dishes & wine from the Deli for dinner, which we re-heated in the unit. I also bought bread and jams to take away. The breakfast was superb. There are walks around the farm if you want. It was very peaceful and I could easily spend a couple of nights there.
