My wife and I recently stayed over at House Martin in De Rust. The experience was exceptional. The service levels received from the owners exceeded all expectations. The accommodation was clean, well decorated and matched 4-5 star expectations. The gardens are perfectly manicured, meticulously maintained and kept in a pristine condition.

We were warmly welcomed upon arrival and settled into an attractive unit that had everything we needed. I was especially charmed by the garden — it added a tranquil touch to our stay. We enjoyed a pleasant stroll through the nearby suburbs, soaking in the local atmosphere. As the owners departed on a well-earned holiday the following day, breakfast was not available, but their hospitality left a lasting impression.

wunderschönes Anwesen mit Garten, Pool und Springbrunnen, sehr große Zimmer mit gemütlicher Einrichtung und bequemem Bett. Sehr sympatische, warmherzige Gastgeber. De Rust ist eine Kleinstadt, in der Nähe die berühmte Meiringschlucht

I stayed here for a night en route south. De Rust itself is pretty enough but not really as charming as other villages in the area - in my view. But Housemartin certainly has charming and efficient hosts, spacious and practical rooms, wholesome meals, a cosy pool and braai area, lovely gardens ... all of this and more. This may not be luxury or the most imaginative of cuisines, but you will find efficiency, good, solid, unpretentious quality and a no-nonsense approach. At R1 200 per night single DB&B, this was very good value. Recommended!

I had the previledge to stay in Housemartin for 2 nights in February 2025. What a stunning guest house. All in all it has everything you need. The faciltiies is great, secure ample parking, a beautiful communal swimming pool/braai area and very friendly hosts. Next stay in De Rust will certainly be at Housemartin.
