“I had a great stay here. We arrived a bit later than planned, but Anel (owner) welcomed me heartily. The rooms and bathrooms are clean and nicely decorated. There was a small kitchenette and I felt safe.
Looking forward to visiting again!”

“When I heard the name “Hearts Haven,” I asked my colleague, Where’s that place and I must admit already I had negative feelings about it. On my arrival I was pleasantly surprised, room no 2 will always be edged in my mind, it’s warm and cozy. And indeed reflects the warmth and friendliness of the owners. This place is indeed a haven for my heart in the freezing Karoo.”

Baie dankie vir die heerlike bederf. My besoek aan De Aar na 40 jaar was een van die hoogtepunte in my lewe. Ons het om die draai van jul tuiste gebly en dit het helder herinneringe meegebring. So dankbaar dat jul plekkie nou deel daarvan kan wees. Wees verseker ek sal almal in Jhb na jul verwys.
Groete

Ons weet nie waar om te begin nie…… Wat ‘n wonderlike ervaring. Baie baie geluk met julle stukkie hemel op aarde hier in die mooie De aar.
Wat ons verblyf nog meer spesiaal gemaak het, is die hartlike welkom en gasvryheid wat ons van julle twee wonderlike mense ontvang het!
Jesus se liefde straal behoorlik uit julle uit! Ek wil beslis eendag weer hier kom bly !! Mag julle ryklik geseën word. Ons kan nie genoeg dankie sê vir alles nie!!! Julle sal lank onthou word!
Baie Liefde

Ons paadjies is gesaai met klippies, net soms tel ons op ons lewenspad ‘n egte diamant op. Die geluk was aan my kant om sommer twee te kry. Met my aankoms het ek geweet julle is nie klippies nie!!
Bitter baie dankie vir die tydjie hier. Daar is nie ‘n plek wat julle oortref nie!!
Julle nommer kry ‘n permanente plek op my “Contact List”

Baie baie dankie vir die liefdevolle ontvangs. Dankie Muriel dat jy spesiaal dorp toe is om heuning te koop vir my tee. (So gasvry).

“WoW” It is not many times that I try “New” things and I get, not only very satisfied but totally “In Awe”. What Hearts Haven has achieved is something I am going to tell to all those I meet.
They need to have this experience that I have had. Cleanliness, Quality in service and finishes, warm welcome, lovely decoration yet very homely feel. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! I am coming back.

What a wonderful hostess. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
Lovely room. Neat & tidy. Enjoyed flipping through the different news channels, felt like I was at home.
The small touches (cupcakes/Jacobs Coffee & fresh milk) made my stay even more memorable.
