About this place
Rated as one of the best views of inland South Africa, Adamsview offers luxury and standard self-catering accommodation with breathtaking views over the Gariep Dam, South Africa's largest water storage reservoir on the Orange River. Situated halfway between Johannesburg and Cape Town, just 5 km from the N1 near Colesberg, it is the perfect stopover or weekend escape with the peace and quiet that can only be experienced in the Karoo.
Three luxury units have private braai facilities, a full kitchen, spectacular dam views, separate entrances for privacy, and are pet friendly. The dam can be seen from the bed, bath, kitchen and braai area. The Loft adds a spa bath, a six-seater balcony and a Weber braai. Three standard guest rooms offer comfortable twin or double beds with DSTV and air conditioning at excellent rates, and a two-bedroom self-catering house in the village suits families. The Gariep Dam Nature Reserve, the Free State's largest, lies on the northern shore of the dam.
