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.

Historical place with a lot of meaning, unique experience. Very nice stay, was not noisy at all. It was just terribly hot that day, but luckily there was air conditioning which made it more bearable in the cell. It does make one think back with sympathy to the ABO prisoners who were locked up there without the care that modern travelers receive.

Historiese plek met baie betekenis, unieke ervaring. Baie lekker gebly, was glad nie raserig nie. Dit was net vrek warm die dag, maar gelukkig is daar lugversorging gewees wat dit meer draaglik gemaak het in die sel. Dit laat mens wel terugdink met meegevoel aan die ABO gevangenes wat daar opgesluit was sonder die versorging wat hedendaagse reisigers kry.

Authentic and modern. So exciting to sleep in a prison. Everything creaks as it should in an old prison. Very neat and clean and even coffee and rusks. Got in late and drove early and you help yourself in and out. Very good system. Nice and quiet. Prison is very nicely spruced up.

Outentiek en modern. So opwindend om in 'n tronk te slaap. Als kraak soos dit hoort in 'n ou tronk. Baie netjies en skoon en selfs koffie en beskuit. Het laat ingekom en vroeg gery en jy help jouself in en uit. Baie goeie stelsel. Lekker gerus. Tronk is baie mooi opgekikker.

Slept wonderfully in cells. Decor authentically adapted to the prison environment. Felt like you were in a prison, except for the luxurious bed and bedside lamps. Doorway to bathroom looks like someone tried to escape. Humorous information from the warden.

Het heerlik in selle geslaap. Dekor outentiek aangepas by die tronk omgewing. Gevoel asof jy in 'n tronk is, behalwe die luukse bed en bedlampies. Deuropening na badkamer lyk asof iemand probeer ontsnap het. Humoristiese inligting vanaf die bewaarder.
