For those who have been passing-by Aus in the past year or so, I can
recommend a most pleasant stay-over at the rebuilt Bahnhof Hotel. I
was quite fortunate on my most recent 'undercover' visit. The evening meal
prepared by Julian the Chef was 5 star and I have to add the presentation
was superb. I was later informed that he was having a trial run for his
entry into chef of the year contest, and I wish him good luck (I wish I was
one of the judges). OK. But the good news is that the standard a la
carte menu is also excellent. So, to quote Arnold, "I'll
be back."
Just over hill to the west you'll find Klein Aus Vista which is
operated by Piet and Christine Sweigers. They offer a range of accommodation
from luxury lodge rooms to more than adequate camping facilities, along with
activities such as specialized desert 4x4 trails etc. Piet's an old hand in
this area as his father farmed here before him. He's a mine of information
about the south, so your in good hands. And don't forget Aus is only
20km from the Wild Horses at Garup. You're in the middle of big country
here. If you're into scenic photography the early mornings and late
afternoons are a must. Or just sit down quietly and soak up the vastness of
it all.
