"Perfect base for the spring wild flowers"
2 nights Arrived 28 Aug 2015
"This was our second time to Springbok. My feedback for the first occasion was not enthusiastic, but I now see that was unfair. Springbok town needs to be explored - it is vibrant and interesting. Springbok Lodge Restuarant in the centre of town is especially well worth a visit, for the shop or a coffee, or a meal. It is one of those quirky African places. You cannot book the restaurant, so timing is important if you want an evening meal.
Mountain View Guest House is very pleasant and the owner very friendly and helpful. Rooms and breakfast were perfect.
The spring wild flowers have to be seen to be believed. Recommended - (1) Nababeep village (2) the gravel road along the north boundary of Namaqua National Park. The road is pretty grim, but you don't need a 4x4 - keep going until the end of the Wildeperdehoek Pass - the view is extraordinary. The Namaqua Information Centre at the edge of town is very good and can provide daily updates on the flowers, recommended viewing locations and maps etc" See all these reviews: 13n in South Africa

"Mountain View Guest House review"
3 nights Arrived 28 Aug 2014
"They provided good local information such as restaurants, tourist office.
It was quiet peaceful and comfortable.
We found Springbok very cold and damp, there had been heavy rain, and we were unprepared for such low temps." See all these reviews: 12n in South Africa
