Detailed Reviews
Many thanks to Theo, who allowed us to move late in the DARK evening from our B&B to this wonderful place at the fence of the Leon Taljaard Game Park. Our former B&B told us, that they will run the generators until 0:30 (midnight!!!) in front of our room. No joke!!
We arrived at the Gameview Lodge in frightening dark, due to the load shed.
What a difference. Even before 10:00 pm we could not hear any generator or other noise. What a wonderfull night. Very good breakfast AND a welcome visitor on the other side of the fence. "The Rhino was there!!!" So our next stopovers in Vryburg will be here - no question!!

My better half and I slept over on the way to Namibia. The lodge was modern, up-market, safe and pleasant, with secure parking, good beds and hot water, and all the other things one wants from a guesthouse, including tv, a quiet night's rest, a lekker breakfast and a friedly host (aka Theo), as well as a friendly rhino, called Champ. There is nothing else I wanted from Vryburg and, if i visit again, i know where to go.

In the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic we had to travel through the northern cape and needed a safe and secure overnight stop. We chanced upon Game View Lodge in Vryburg and really our stay could not have been better - it was indeed safe and secure, tucked away behind an electric fence on the outskirts of the town, with the utmost concern for Covid-19 safety, but so much more: Tersia and Theo were attentive and caring hosts, our room was beautifully appointed, and we had a relaxing evening.
Highly recommended!

Most rooms have a great view over the nature reserve and the breakfast is fresh and yummy. Prices are very reasonable given what you get for it, recommended!

The experience from booking to check in was just wonderful. The host was very friendly and informative upon check in. The room was beautiful, clean and big with a lovely outside seating area. Bathroom is out of this world. I would recommend it over and over.

The family stayed over on the way to the Kalahari. It was well appointed, with a stunning view over a game reserve (we were welcomed by a herd of Eland. The management was warm, welcoming and accommodating. Breakfast was great. Highly recommend

I stayed for four nights for business and was pleasantly surprised with the high standard of the guesthouse and rooms. The service was excellent, welcoming and friendly. The rooms are large and very comfortable. The beds, linen and towels are of a very high quality. The guest house is situated directly next to the Leon Taljaard Nature Reserve and late afternoon early evening same of the animals can be seen from the outside deck seating area or from the balcony of your room should you be in the rooms with the balconies. The sounds of nature surrounds you and the admosphere of the bush is so relaxing. If you are lucky a rhyno might come right next to the border fence to graze. The sun sets over the nature reserve are beautiful. The breakfasts are very good and fresh and lasted me up to dinner. Theo and Tersia Volschenk are very friendly and know the area very well. I can recommend the guest house for business and travelling holidays
