It was peaceful and quiet. I had a nice stay. I was satisfied. Only unhappy about two things. I booked there because there was a safe for me. But it was closed and I couldn't use it. The headlights were also blown and it was a bit dark to get dressed in the morning.

Die was rustig en stil. Ek het lekker gebly. Ek was tevrede. Net ongelukkig oor twee goed. Ek het daar geboek omdat daar vir my 'n kluis was. Maar hy was toe en ek kon hom nie gebruik nie. Die hoofligte was ook geblaas en was maar bietjie donker om in die oggend aan te trek.

My daughter and I slept over for hockey at Lydenburg High School. I just feel that in future you should warn guests that the road between Machadodarp and Lydenburg does not exist at all! No vehicle can drive there! It is life-threatening!

Ek en my dogter het oorgeslaap vir hokkie by Hoërskool Lydenburg. Ek voel net dat julle in die toekoms gaste moet waarskuwing gee dat die pad tussen Machadodarp en Lydenburg glad nie bestaan nie! Geen voertuig kan daar ry nie! Dit is lewensgevaarlik!

Quiet, clean and neat. Comfortable stay, neat rooms that meet everything you need.

Rustig, skoon en netjies. Gerieflik gebly, netjiese kamers wat voldoen aan alles wat mens nodig het.

Beautiful, peaceful guesthouse. Purple Gecko Guesthouse never disappoints. Beautiful rooms and very clean. My guesthouse of choice when I am in Lydenburg.

Pragtige, rustige gastehuis. Purple Gecko Gastehuis stel nooit teleur nie. Pragtige kamers en baie skoon. My gekose gastehuis wanneer ek in Lydenburg is.

Loved the location, beautiful rooms and gardens. Highly recommend. Stay was lovely, I would definitely come back for a visit. The only thing that did not make sense was the positioning of the light switches, with even the reading lamp installed far from the bed. Other than that, the room was beautiful, and the bed was very comfy.

Generally not bad. Pleasant, clean and friendly. Had a few small problems, 1 bed lamp did not have a switch and had to be turned off at the plug, could not get the TV to operate, poor internet virtually unusable. Bit pricey as breakfast is an additional R130 pp.
