Lovely location if you like to be in the sticks and I love the desert so I liked the location. The staff were very pleasant and tried hard to make our stay good. The electric blanket worked and we were given lots of water which we needed. The gate is closed at night for security. Lovely to sit on the porch and watch the moon rise over the desert. The room looked really nice on arrival.

The cook had disappeared so the food was not good although the staff did try hard. I was not given a receipt but was promised one to my email - it never arrived. I like to have the receipts. The shower could do with a curtain to prevent splashing onto the floor. Perhaps a new mattrass would be a good investment.

Lovely home away from home feeling. We were greeted with a cup of tea and a slice of chocolate cake. Annie and her husband are wonderful hosts. Apollis Cottage is a little off the beaten track and it was wonderful to sit under a blanket of stars surrounded by such quiet and stillness. Room was clean and tidy, while breakfast was delicious. Waking up to the wide open space of Namaqualand was special. Would have been great to stay longer. Highly recommended.

We loved staying here and were lucky that owner Annie herself was around and gave us with her warmth the feeling of being more than welcome! We had a great room and I can only say the best about the included breakfast and additional dinner. We’d definitely come back! The place is remote, with beautiful views and stunning sunrises ❤️

The hosts Gavin and Anita are very warm and friendly people. They gave us some nice tips to take a walk around the house and day trips in the vicinity. They were very flexible with dinner and breakfast which were both lovely. The accomodation is very nice with comfy beds and nice bathrooms and the dog Sookie is super cute and loves some attention ;). The location is super nice, it takes a gravel road to get there but 100% worth it. Views are breathtaking especially with the flowers

We could only stay for 1 night as we had to go to our next stop

The staff were amazing. The night we arrived was cloudy and rainy, their solar system didn’t charge up well. Spent most of the night in darkness, but the ladies went out of their way to make sure we were warm and comfortable. We ordered dinner and it was delicious. Thank you Apollis team.

Cute guest house in the middle of the desert, 10 minutes outside of Springbok. We received a very warm welcome, had a great homecooked dinner , a very comfortable night’s sleep and a wonderful breakfast. We wouldn’t hesitate to go back there.

The water pressure in the shower was a bit weak.

Great location for sleep over on way from Cape Town to Namibia - excellent manager made us feel very welcome - we will stay over again on return trip and look forward to seeing Sokkies the resident dog again

Nothing to mention

The quietness of the place was amazing, you are far from everything so if you need to relax it is the place to go. The hosts are very gentle and happy to support for any need. Having a braai and the boma fire on for us in the evening was a big plus for my kid

Nothing to say, the place was according to our expectations.

Annie is a marvellous host who went out of her way to accommodate my booking at extremely short notice. The location is stunning, the room was luxurious and clean, and I felt right at home. The manager, Isaac, is also very friendly and attentive. The surrounding area is perfect for an early morning or late afternoon hike.

The only issue I can think of is that the internet was down when I arrived, but this was out of their control and was fixed within a few hours.

A very enthusiastic welcome by Sokkies the friendly dog, and her hosts. Very attentive hosts, serving a lovely meal. Fantastic rooms and comfortable beds. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to get away from it all.

The only thing we can think of is that the door of the one bathroom didn't close properly. Everything else was perfect.
