Lovely getaway in the breathtaking Eastern Free State.
The Eastern Free State remains one of my favorite places in South Africa. And Fairview's Twin Towers make it even more fun to visit. They converted two old silos into a three-bedroom unit, and it feels like visiting a friend's house. It's really well equipped with everything you need, with interesting artwork, comfortable furniture, and breathtaking views from every room. At the very top is a covered meeting area, and if you want to make a proper fire and barbecue, there is a bridge that leads to a nice fire place. There is no mobile phone signal, but there is strong Wi-Fi. The owners are friendly and helpful, and it's simply a pleasure to stay there.

A fantastic, unique accommodation experience in the idyllic Eastern Free State.
The Twin Towers really are perfect for a unique Eastern Free State getaway. The accommodation has been furnished with a fine eye for detail - from the delightfully quirky "pop art" works of art to the warm blankets, alpaca wool cushions and fabric. We didn't sleep cold at all, even though we stayed there in the dead of winter. If you are a jogger, there are also beautiful jogging paths! We definitely recommend it (unless you're afraid of climbing stairs!). Thank you for a lovely break.

Very very nice, beautiful and clean.
The road to the house was a bit rough, but only because it rained, but the stay, the view you see every day is just perfect, would go again anytime. A little far out of the towns so make sure you take everything you need and extra, because we just stayed an extra night so nice and nice it was.

Absolutely an adventure destination.
De Rust guest house is something to experience. A dirt road leads to a bit of a mountain road that sends you through a cave mouth to the most breathtaking cottage next to a mountain range. The house is private and well equipped for visiting and relaxing. Corlia is a fantastic host and was available all the time. We will definitely visit Fairview again.

The house offers everything and more for a family of 4. Everything was clean and beautiful. The house is located in an incredibly beautiful part. The house makes you feel welcome. Clarens is relatively close if you fancy a lot of shopping and eating out.

Ons is betower met die pragtige omgewing en kon ontspan, rus, lag en kuier.

We were enchanted with the beautiful surroundings and were able to relax, rest, laugh and hang out.
Even though the area had more rain than usual (since 1958) and we were mostly indoors, the house lent itself to family togetherness and the nature around us could be seen and experienced. We were a large group and booked both the Twin Towers and De Rust, I would not recommend this at all as the distance and terrain between the 2 makes it impractical.

Hi there
I am sorry that you had this experience. I have never had any other guests complaining about the road, unless you drive a sports car. The road was recently graded so maybe there were some sharp loose stones due to the grading.

You immediately find tranquility when you arrive there.
This is my second time at DeRust and just enjoyed it even more than the last time. You need a 4x4 car to get there. They have nice big soft towels, good quality linen and warm blankets for a good night's rest. The kitchen has everything you need. We love walking, and had a nice walk to the pond in the morning before breakfast and enjoyed the incredible sunrise. We will go back again and again.

De Rust is a place where you can fill up your cup. The surroundings are breathtakingly beautiful. The cottage was fantastically luxurious and equipped with everything that one could possibly think of. The cleaner is a beautiful person who does her work with so much respect and devotion. We were so privileged to stay there. Next time we'll bring the kids along, they are all that was missing.

Twin Towers was such an experience. Had a great time, was just a pity it was so short. Everything was neat and clean. We had a great time driving around on the farm and cooled off in the farm dam. Breathtaknig view from every window. We arrived at night, gravel road comes to a dead end in Fairview Estates. Basically no cellphone reception, how nice. Thanks, we'll see you again.

Wonderfully relaxed!
Had a great time. It would have been valuable to know that one actually only if i.t.v. had to pack food supplies, as the 25 km dirt road back to the main road took about an hour to complete. Also think the cleaning service should be included in the total package. To pay extra if you are already paying R1750/night... The facilities are in excellent condition. Beautiful antiques, lovely big fluffy towels, fresh bedding. Can see there is no neglect at all. Even the kitchenware, plates, mugs etc. is good quality and there is a nice big fridge. Poor cell phone reception was a lovely bonus! Fairview will definitely see us again, but our preparation will be a little different.

Hallo Annelie
Baie dankie vir die terugvoer , ek waardeer dit baie. Sal kyk hoe die inligting voorkom op TravelGround se website en vir hulle vra om dit duidelik te maak. Die plaaswerkers se vrouens bly op die plaas en verdien geen geld behalwe as hulle vir die gaste skoonmaak. Dit is eintlik 'n projek om hulle ook 'n kans te gun om 'n geldjie te verdien. Skoonmaakdienste is opsioneel. Hoop om julle gou weer te ontvang.

Wow, what a great experience. We had a great time in the beautiful farmhouse, and everything you need was at your disposal. Remember to buy all your groceries before you go home, because I assure you you won't want to drive back and forth. It's a long stretch of dirt road, but once you're there, it's all worth it. The horses came to visit us in the house and were tame enough to handle. It was fantastic!
