Fodor's Expert Review Damas Guesthouse
Augrabies, Northern Cape, South Africa
In a real story of community uplift, a Nama teacher (originally from Namibia) and her family in the Augrabies Falls village have uniquely decorated rooms in their old house near the hot springs on the Riemvasmaak community trust land. Those lucky enough to be spoiled by Elisa's family within their homestead could share a meal, experience the quiet of a remote wilderness area, and get a glimpse into the ways of the local people. The three rooms in the guesthouse are technically self-catering, but dinners with the family can be arranged.
PROS
- a real community project
- beautiful environment
- solitude and peace
CONS
- not the easiest place to get to
- few mod cons
- no catering for breakfast
