"A Perfect Stop in Springbok"
Even though the room was not as beautiful as others during our trip, it was comfortable and efficient. The staff was very friendly and helpful and recommended a great restaurant for dinner. Breakfast was great!" See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia; 8n in South Africa
"comfortable and secure"
beautifully kept garden, pool available
functional welcome, warm but somewhat lacking in personal interaction, didnt detract from the overall experience
somewhat poorly organised in room facilities (plastic bag with one sachet coffee and one tea bag /tea coffee creamer etc per guest)
We were only there for one night
Breakfast was well served and presented in a homely way" See all these reviews: 5n in Namibia; 5n in South Africa
"Kasane to Cape Town Day 15"
We ate dinner at the Grazdak steak ranch; about a 15 minute walk from Mountain View. Excellent food, HUGE portions, wonderful staff and the chef even drove us 'home' as it was raining hard and refused to accept any payment.
We visited the flowers at Skilpad but found it disappointing – the sea of orange was spectacular but we saw more interesting and varied blooms by the roadside – but then we did take a very 'interesting' out-of -the-way route over the mountains back to the N7! Not quite the short cut we'd envisioned but much more fun than the main road." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana; 3n in South Africa

"Springbok, personal service with a smile"
Dining room (a choice of 2!) for breakfast was comfortable, light, pleasant.
Dinner recommendation on main road also great experience - shop, restaurant, tourist info!
Felt well set up and rested for the drive next day to Augrabies.
Also would recommend going to Goegap Nature Reserve while in Springbok. - had to cram that into a half day, but could have spent longer there." See all these reviews: 12n in South Africa; 5n in Namibia
"Beautiful room and excellent wildflowers"
We stayed 2 nights here from where we drove several wildflower routes, the most memorable being Skilpad - large expanses of Namaqua daisies - and Goekap - amazing variety of different wildflowers in lovely setting." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 3n in South Africa
"Mountain View Guest House review"
As compared with Wilma at Clanwilliam, our hostess was not very helpful, and on our first night was unable to suggest anywhere for us to go for a meal. Breakfast was not as good as at the previous places, with no proper buffet and an inadequate toaster." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia; 6n in South Africa
"One night stand in Springbok"
"Mountain View Guest House"
The rooms were tastefully and individually decorated.
Again, having a 4 x 4 vehicle allowed us to visit Orbicule Hill, the site of some rare obicular diorite (only of interest to geologists!)." See all these reviews: 11n in South Africa; 3n in Namibia
