"Annie's Cottage review"
Lots of liquor stores with guards and drunks hanging around trying to beg. Hence maybe the town influenced our perception of Annie's.
Breakfast was good. One great innovation is a toaster on every table - no lost toast.
There is free WiFi in the rooms.
The nearby national park (by the airport) is charming." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 6n in South Africa
"A good stop off location"

In fact, we checked out after 2 (out of 3 booked) nights, but that was primarily because there is little to do in Springbok in the absence this year of the usual Namaqualand floral display. And the restaurant options are dire." See all these reviews: 13n in South Africa

They were, however, very busy at the start of the flower season and hopefully many of the other rooms please as much as our first! Breakfast was as good as ever." See all these reviews: 24n in Namibia; 11n in South Africa
"Annie's Cottage review"
Our reception was good and our hostess showed us to our room. We were enchanted by the weaver birds who were nesting in a big tree just outside our room - there was a small veranda in the sun which was very relaxing after our journey.
The one draw back to the location is that it is right across the road from the hospital which can be a bit noisy early evening and lots of lights on through the night, though the curtains are thick and block out most of it." See all these reviews: 24n in Namibia; 11n in South Africa

"A home from home full of character"
They were most helpful in storing our surplus bags and attending to our laundry whilst we detoured to Augrabies Falls for a few days.
Springbok is a good place to break a journey down the Western side of Southern Africa as the town is large enough for you to replenish and dwindling stores and attend to other requirments" See all these reviews: 14n in South Africa; 12n in Namibia
