Welcoming, comfortable, safe and great food too! Buffet is plentiful.

Very relaxed and comfortable place. Probably the cleanest and best maintained accommodation that I have stayed in for many years. And I have stayed in dozens of places all over Southern Africa during the past 30 years or more.

Great place. Great hosts.

Our self-catering room was really very spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. We would definitely come and stay again.

Heerlike oornag akkommodasie!

Veilige, skoon oornag akkommodasie. Wonderlike plattelandse gasvryheid met pragtige, goed toegeruste kamers. Die gasheer en sy span het ons selfs met aandete getrakteer. Ek sal dit beslis aanbeveel as 'n oornagbestemming op die R56!

Great overnight accommodation!

Safe, clean overnight accommodation. Wonderful country hospitality with beautiful, well appointed rooms. The host and his team even treated us to dinner. I would definitely recommend this as an overnight destination on the R56!

Netjies, skoon en veilig.

Netjiese, skoon kamers. Veilige parkering. Goeie oornag gastehuis met vriendelike gasheer en gasvrou. Ek stel voor dat etes voor die tyd bespreek word. Ons was te laat om aandete te bespreek maar die ontbyt was heerlik. Dorp het ongelukkig nie 'n keuse van restaurante nie, net 'n Steers.

Neat, clean and safe.

Neat, clean rooms. Secure parking. Good overnight guest house with friendly host and hostess. I suggest booking meals ahead of time. We were too late to book dinner but the breakfast was delicious. Town unfortunately does not have a choice of restaurants, only a Steers.

Exceeded all expectations.

Philip went out of his way to make our stayover a memorable one. He is a wealth of information about the area and its attractions. He helped us plan a route to some places we would never have visited otherwise.

Gemaklik.

Lekker aandete gehad. Hulle kan gerus gebottelde water beskikbaar maak vir die kamer. Was nie gemaklik om die kraanwater te drink nie.

Wonderlike ondervinding.

Die gasvrou en haar eggenote kon nie genoeg doen om ons tuis te maak in die pragtige gastehuis nie. Die plekkie is pragtig met wonderlike toegeruste kamers.

The hostess and her spouse could not do enough to make us feel at home in the beautiful guest house. The place is beautiful with wonderfully equipped rooms.

Netjiese en veilige verblyf.

Het slegs een nag oorgebly. Is vriendelik ontvang. Skoon, ruim en netjiese geriewe met veilige parkering. Was te haastig om ontbyt te nuttig. Sal weer hier oorbly.
