Flower watching.
Tarantula's accommodation is very neat and clean. There is everything needed for an overnight stay. The water was nice and warm and the water pressure is excellent. Lovely to have the view of the field in the morning. Maybe some advice, the big bed needs attention, it feels like there is a hard board running from top to bottom and the mattress is laid out. Furthermore, it can be recommended to stay here.

The location is perfect, not too far but not on the main street of the town where you are part of the hustle and bustle. The unit was spotless and beautiful! We would really recommend Tarantula to anyone and will be visiting again soon ourselves!

Nice farm atmosphere.
Although Tarantula is in town, it is wonderfully quiet with a nice farm atmosphere. From your large porch you look out over the field and hills in the distance with a beautiful windmill in the foreground. The spacious chalet (there are 3 a short distance from each other) is spotlessly clean and luxurious. The garden is beautiful, big and the location feels safe. We were kindly received and will definitely stay there again, just an extra night to explore the beautiful rural village and use the private braai place on the stoep (and the other night to eat again at the Blou Nartjie.

When you sit on the stoep it almost feels like you are on a farm with the wide plains in front of you. This was my second time at Tarantula and was just as enjoyable as the first time. Everything you need, clean and tidy. I would recommend anyone to stay here.

I think the development on the site should get an award for the planning and design, especially the attention to detail - that was invested in creating the facility. Otherwise the place should 'feature' at least in Garden and Home or something similar. In my opinion - very tasty.

The place is very neat and clean. A huge bed with lovely bedding. Def worth stopping by. More than enough space between guest houses. That's how I like it. People who own guesthouses can feel free to visit Tarantula to see what accommodation should look like. I challenge you from all over South Africa. My wife explained it very nicely in the morning with a cup of peasant tea on the stoep (then we farmed) overlooking the warm Karoo. "It's heaven in the middle of nowhere." If I come back to the area I will definitely stay there again.

Really neat and excellent value for money.
Tarantula's self-catering units are highly recommended. The house's layout and location offers privacy, very spacious, neat and clean and excellently, fully and stylishly equipped. Not to mention the spacious covered braai area, beautiful well manicured garden, beautiful view of the Karoo and mountains in the distance, as well as Frans and Hendrina's hospitality that makes you feel welcome. The fair rate, considering everything on offer, makes it excellent value for money, probably among the best we've been to. Except for the freezer space which might be a bit cramped for 2 people wanting to spend 3 days or longer (and I'm sure Frans and Hendrina will sort this out quickly), you'd have to go far to find fault with this accommodation.

It was breathtaking and very peaceful. couldn't ask for better!
Was received very kindly, so felt very welcome from the start. Cottage and grounds are painstakingly neat and clean. Had a great time relaxing with the tranquility and beautiful view. Just a pity the stay is just too short!

Guaranteed satisfaction.
I can recommend Tarantula Guesthouse for several reasons. The location on the side of town with the view. The iron hand that keeps the yard and facilities 'spotless'. The layout of the units, quality equipment, furniture, bathrooms and air conditioning. The kindness and helpfulness to help with all our requests, they went more than the extra mile for us. And then of course the good premium at which they offer the accommodation. Thank you guys!

We had a wonderful stay.
It was so peaceful. The beautiful surroundings and view made us almost not want to go back home! This is the cleanest and most beautiful place we have ever stayed. The furniture and other equipment are of the highest quality and all in working order. The accommodation is extremely tastefully furnished and everything you could need was there. The pool was sparkling clean and the garden breathtaking. No expense was spared to turn this place into a paradise. Many thanks to Frans and his spouse for their kindness and hospitality. It was a privilege to be able to meet you and make use of your accommodation. Thank you also to LekkeSlaap for the professional manner in which you handled our booking.
