Great stay at Herbertdale Guesthouse.

Very comfortable accommodation, friendly staff and safe parking. Was great to have the backup generator during loadshedding. Tasty breakfast delivered to my room was a treat. Would definitely stay at Herbertdale Guesthouse again and recommend to anyone needing to stay in Kokstad.

Veilig, vriendelik, waarde vir geld en baie netjies.

Ons het slegs daaroor nag, maar die personeel en eienaar was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam alles was netjies en skoon. Daar is ook nie vrees oor veiligheid nie en die generator het veral gehelp met die beurtkrag om all ons fone en laptops te laai.

A short but very pleasant and friendly stay.

Didn't know what to expect especially as a "non-selfcatering" couple but were so genuinely surprised. Owner and helpers made us feel so much at home. Another great experience in SA which we will never forget and "plapper" to all our friends.

My husband developed a medical problem en route and the owner went out of her way assisting us to get an appointment with a doctor. The breakfast was good but on the expensive side.

Overnight while travelling to Eastern Cape from Durban

We had a lovely stay at Herbertdale. The room was neat and well appointed. We felt safe and could unwind while travelling. Very friendly and helpful hostess. Will definitely stay there again and can highly recommend it to anyone travelling through the Kokstad area.

Vriendelike personeel.

Personeel kon/wou nie Afrikaans praat nie. Die kamer was om 15:00 nie gereed nie en ons moes wag, alhoewel die personeel 'n alternatiewe kamer aangebied het. Verder was alles baie goed.

Vir 'n paar Rand meer gaan bly eerder by 'n ander hotel net buite Kokstad.

Prys was hoog vir wat ons gekry het. Die ander hotel bied baie beter akkommodasie vir 'n paar Rand meer.

For a few Rand more, stay at another hotel just outside Kokstad instead.

Price was high for what we got. The other hotel offers much better accommodation for a few Rand more.

Comfortable and safe accommodation.

We booked for 4 adult guests, but there were only 2 coffee mugs, 2 tea cups, 3 soda glasses, 2 wine glasses and no towel rails. The secure parking and free Wi-Fi are a big plus. Thank you very much, it is clean and pleasant to live there. We will definitely stay there again.

Netjiese en ruim verblyf.

Ons verblyf was heerlik by Herbertdale. Sou graag net vroeër wou kon inboek aangesien ons eers na 3 pm kon inboek en maar daar rond moes hang van 13h50 aangesien kamers nog nie skoongemaak was nie. Bad se warmwaterkraan het ook nie heel lekker gewerk nie maar eienaar is bewus gemaak en sal die aanspreek. Stort was baie lekker sterk warm water.

Neat and spacious accommodation.

We had a lovely stay at Herbertdale. Would've liked to check in earlier given that we could only check in after 3pm we had to hang around from 13h50 since the rooms weren't cleaned yet. Also, the bath's hot tap didn't work properly, but the owner was made aware of this and will address it. Shower was very nice with a strong warm water.

As ek een ietsie mag negatief oor wees: kry iemand anders se take-away menu as Debonairs! Ons het 40 minute gesukkel net om ons bestelling oor die foon te gee! Die plek self is regtig aan te beveel. Sal enige iemand soontoe verwys!
