A gem along the N12. This was really one of the nicest places we have stayed. The room was very clean and unique. The yard was very clean and you could see that they really put effort into keeping it nice. We didn't need to prepare our own food because the canteen was right there and we all ate deliciously.

Hierdie was regtig een van die lekkerste plekke waar ons geslaap het. Die kamer was baie skoon en uniek. Die erf was baie skoon en mens kon sien dat hulle regtig moeite in sit om dit mooi te hou. Ons het nie nodig gehad om ons eie kos voor te berei nie, want die kantien was net daar en ons het almal heerlik geëet.

Excellent and can honestly recommend them to anyone. My husband and I stayed at Vyfster Old Jail on January 5, 2026. I was more amazed than the first time. We stayed in the Charge Office. What a pleasure it was. Very neat, hospitality, interest and absolutely worth the effort. Everything was very clean. Fans and air conditioning. Neat kitchen with everything you need. The tranquility is blissful. The restaurant is great. Food is very tasty and beautifully presented. They absolutely have your interests at heart. Recommendation, 200%. Thank you very much Vyfster Old Jail, you will definitely see me again.

Uitstekend en kan hulle met 'n eerlike aan enige persoon aanbeveel. Ek en my man het 05 Januarie 2026 by Vyfster Old Jail oornag. Ek was meer verstom as die eerste keer. Ons het in die Charge Office oornag. Wat 'n plesier was dit nie. Baie netjies, gasvryheid, belangstelling en absoluut die moeite werd. Alles was mooi skoon. Waaiers en lugreëling. Netjiese kombuis met alles wat nodig is. Die rustigheid is salig. Die restaurant is puik. Kos baie smaaklik en word mooi voorgesit. Hulle dra jou belange absoluut ten harte. Aanbeveling, 200%. Baie dankie Vyfster Old Jail, julle sal my beslis weer sien.

Unique and wonderful. Our stay was absolutely wonderful. It was something unique that is well worth the experience. The history they provided is worth the read as you really get a sense of the old jail, but with all the modern luxury and comforts. The staff and hostess were also very welcoming and kind. Would also highly recommend stopping in at the Old Mill Coffee Shop in town.

It was very nice, would stay there again. We only stayed 1 night on our way home. Lovely decor, neat and clean. The air conditioning was heavenly, it was quite hot that day.

Dit was baie lekker, sal weer daar oorslaap. Ons het net 1 aand oorgeslaap oppad huistoe. Lieflik ingerig, netjies en skoon. Die lugversorging was hemels, dit was nogals warm die dag.

Spacious and neat overnight stop! Very nice overnight stop. The place is very spacious and clean. Nice space outside for children too. Was quiet and peaceful, despite it being New Year's Eve.

Ruim en netjiese oornag stop! Baie lekker oornag stop. Die plek is baie ruim en skoon. Lekker spasie ook buite vir kinders. Was stil en rustig, ten spyte daarvan dat dit oujaarsaand was.

The history of the accommodation was very informative. Thank you very much. The stay was breathtakingly nice.

Die geskiedenis van die verblyf was heel insiggewend. Baie dankie. Verblyf was asemrowend lekker.

Indescribable. After a very long drive from Witbank we arrived at the Old Jail and got to our accommodation without any hassle. They were very clean and the food was amazing. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Onbeskryflik. Na 'n baie lang pad van Witbank het ons by die Old Jail aangekom en sonder enige sukkel by ons verblyf gekom. Hulle was baie skoon en ongelooflike kos. Ek sal dit definitief aanbeveel vir enige iemand.
