"Make dinner reservations, check the load shedding schedule and plan around it. If you need any medication, there is no pharmacy in Richmond. People are friendly and the town is safe"
"Personally I would just pass through. Was a perfect halfway stop. I guess the town is like a lot of other small towns in SA today."
"A really rich visit, with so much more to learn and experience than just the owl house. Really worth spending a few days exploring each little thing the village and surroundings offer. It is not that well advertised, so hoping to help people know about this part of the village. The Karoo Experience tasting menu at Stirlings restaurant is an absolute must; a real flavour sensation, and is very reasonably priced. Also, Antie Evelyne's restaurant in the township (find her details online to make a booking) offers a really hearty evening meal - in an impoverished township, go ahead and support existing economic activity, and enjoy a really hearty meal and good conversation with Antie Evelyne in the process!"
"Apollo Teater iets besonders. Merino restaurant en Ka'Roux restaurant baie lekker."
"Die dorp toon tekens van vernuwing, maar die strate is vuil en onversorg. Ek glo wel Covid het hier 'n baie erge effek gehad en hoop dat dit mettertyd weer sal verbeter. Ons kuier graag op klein dorpies en glo dat ons so 'n bydrae lewer tot die heropbou van gemeenskappe. Ons beste wense vir Hopetown se gemeenskap."
"Beslis ‘n oornag besoek aanbeveel. Goeie Karoo tjoppies en wyntjie in Sterling Restaurant herinner jou aan waar jy jou bevind. Vyf ster."
"Beautiful quirky town with historial significance and lots of interesting places to visit. Absolute recommend to anyone in a heartbeat. Only one negative, the road at the top of the pass, a mere 2 km from town, towards Doornberg and other farms had a garbage dump located there with plastic strewn far and wide across the craggy mountainside and across the stunning vistas. Bear in mind that unless you are a tourist specifically travelling out that way, you wouldn't know about this. Could be managed better by the town."
"Beautiful and interesting town. The NG church is magnificent. The Owl House is definitely worth a visit, as well as the Kitching Fossil Centre. The restaurants are lovely and the brewery also worth a visit. Friendly people, very quaint and picturesque town. Would love to go back for longer next time"
"Besoek gerus die Vet Muis restaurant. Hulle het ons toegelaat om ons honde in the bring en die kos was baie lekker."
"Soos meeste van die dorpies is dit maar klein en kom verwaarloos voor - kan nie die water drink nie, paaie is swak ens. Ons het nie kans gehad om besienswaardighede te besoek nie, want dit was 'n vakansiedag."
"Dorpie is uniek, maar nie veel om te doen nie. Stel vir seker net oornag oor. Twee aande was bietjie baie."
