    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.

    Needs some minor repairs done by someone who has an eye for small details. The hiking trail (blue) needs better signage. We got lost and eventually made it back 2 hours later just before dark after wading through rivers and deep mud.

    Nice stay in a relaxing and quiet country Estate. Friendly staff. Chalets are clean and nice.

    Someone had stolen the signs coming up from the coast to Dawn to Dusk so we missed the turning and got totally lost. They need to give directions ( from both north and south) to get to the farm. Thankfully we met a taxi driver who guided us to the correct turning. The owner was very sympathetic and helped us sort out a difficult situation we encountered. The guest house looked lovely in daylight, we would have enjoyed an afternoon there. The provision of frozen food etc to prepare in our chalet is a brilliant idea. The breakfast, in the farmhouse was excellent.

    Appropriate as it is … homely farm house!

    The reception from the staff was warm & friendly while the ‘working farm’ environment was authentic & enjoyable. The breakfast was amazing. I’ll be back to do the ‘history tour’ and some birding.
