Düsternbrook Guest Farm

We stayed at Dusternbrook only one night, that was the only downside to it. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay very much, everyone was very friendly, great food, a very nice accommodation and great surroundings. Not to forget the slightly adventurous route that leads to it!!

Went on a day trip visit for a game drive. Our game drive guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. We saw a large number of animals (hippo, giraffe, oryx, zebra, warthogs, kudu, blackjack jackal, impala and springbok). Also saw a leopard feeding. Transport was arranged to and from the farm and it was prompt, friendly and professional. I really enjoyed it and recommend it for a fun day out

I am always cautious to write a review for the mere reason that expectations and taste differ and what appeals to the one might not for the other. For one person food may be huge whereas for another not so. But there is just something about POV that steals my heart time and time again. It is the serenity of the environment. The staff. The rusticness. We've been there before. For months I had been planning and saving for the celebrations of my auspiscious 70 milestone and what better place to go to I thought. I am not going to say much more. I am going to let the photos do the talking and then you decide for yourself. A sure MUST do is the POV spectacular Skyview drive! My battery sadly went flat on our way up the mountain but the memory of that scenic trip with Christian will be ingrained in my heart and mind forever. The highlight for me believe it or not was what must be a night adder who we found basking in the dim light outside our chalet. Probably a sure vantage point for a meal I thought that was priceless. So best to take a torch along as you are reminded by nature that you are in the wild. A huge thank you to Johann Vaatz and his lovely team.
