Stubs,
You can try the Merino Inn in Colesberg. They are next to the Merino 1-stop Engen garage.

Hi Stubs,

You can sleep over just before the dam wall - at a place called Green Doors. They have cheapish chalets with their own braais and TV etc. I enjoyed it, as it is app. 5km from the N1 - thus you don't hear the traffic and a pub with restaurant. Prices was very good in April last year tel no. 051 7540190 or 079 5222 566 stay@Green-Doors.co.za You turn off at the Gariep Dam signs and just across from the Forever Resort
