Very pleasant. Very neat guesthouse and the aircon/fan was a lifesaver.

Silence, comfort and excellent hospitality. We recently stayed at Vyfster and were very impressed with the stay. The rooms are well appointed and very comfortable. The area is quiet and peaceful, making it easy to relax and sleep well. There was plenty of space in the parking lot for the kids to play cricket! Thembankosi prepared an excellent dinner for us – everything was fresh, tasty and made with care. Can definitely recommend it! It is also a very unique and cool concept to convert a former prison into guest rooms. It makes the experience special and unforgettable. We will definitely stay here again!

Stilte, gerief en uitstekende gasvryheid. Ons het onlangs by Vyfster oornag en was baie beïndruk met die verblyf. Die kamers is goed ingerig en baie gemaklik. Die area is stil en rustig, wat dit maklik maak om heerlik te ontspan en goed te slaap. Daar was genoeg plek in die parkering vir die kinders om krieket te speel! Thembankosi het vir ons ’n uitstekende aandete voorberei – alles was vars, smaaklik en met sorg gemaak. Kan dit beslis aanbeveel! Dit is ook ’n baie unieke en oulike konsep om ’n voormalige tronk in gastekamers te omskep. Dit maak die ervaring besonders en onvergeetlik. Ons sal beslis weer hier bly!

What an experience and priceless history. Excellent. Absolute value for money and the chef's service at reception was excellent. Suggestion, make the history of the prison available in writing to guests.

Wat 'n belewenis en onskatbare geskiedenis. Uitstekend. Absolute waarde vir geld en die sjef se diens met ontvangs was uitmuntend. Voorstel, stel die geskiedenis van die tronk op skrif beskikbaar aan gaste.

Voluntarily sleeping in a prison. It was wonderfully enjoyable and very interesting.

Vrywillig in 'n tronk gaan slaap . Dit was heerlik aangenaam en baie interessant.

Wonderful. It was a wonderful experience! We stayed in cell 1, tastefully furnished. Food was out of a book with wonderful service by the chef/waiter. Would recommend it to other travelers anytime.

Wonderlik. Dit was 'n heerlike ondervinding! Ons het in sel 1 gebly, smaakvol gemeubileer. Kos was uit 'n boek uit met wonderlike diens deur die kok/kelner. Sal dit enige tyd vir ander reisigers aanbeveel.

Pleasantly surprised. Big surprise. Didn't expect such a nice place.

Aangenaam verras. Groot verrassing. Nie so 'n mooi plek verwag nie.

Great! Extraordinary, unexpected and very interesting. Hospitable and unique. Everything you need after a long journey is there. Food from the restaurant was value for money and very tasty. The staff is very pleasant.

Puik! Buitengewoon, onverwags en baie interessant. Gasvry en uniek. Alles wat nodig na 'n lang reis is daar. Kos van die restaurant was waarde vir geld en baie lekker. Die personeel is baie aangenaam.

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.
