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.

Amazing. The experience was amazing and quirky just as we expected. The drive to the accommodation had me worried; the little town is not great, but once in the gate, it was amazing. The onsite restaurant was great and made us feel really at home. It was crazy hot, but both rooms had air conditioning, which made a huge difference. The only thing I wish there was, is a pool to cool down in.

Clean, neat, spacious and interesting. We decided to spend the last night of our holiday in an 'unorthodox' way - in an old prison! We decided on the charge office because it has kitchen facilities, because we know that Britstown is very small and that there will not necessarily be fast food etc. available. We are happy with this decision because Britstown is even smaller than we thought! We were a little worried about the location of the guesthouse, it seemed like a very run-down part of town, but once we noticed the security, we felt very reassured. Bring mosquito repellent, because unfortunately there are a lot of mosquitoes here. The rooms do have ceiling fans, but in the bloody summer it stays hot and you can't be careful of inviting more mosquitoes in by opening a window.

Skoon, netjies, ruim en interessant. Ons het besluit om die laaste nag van ons vakansie in 'n 'onortodokse' manier deur te bring - in 'n ou tronk! Ons het besluit op die aanklagkantoor omdat dit kombuisgeriewe het, omdat ons weet Britstown is baie klein en dat daar nie noodwendig kitskos ens. beskikbaar sal wees nie. Ons is bly oor hierdie besluit omdat Britstown nog kleiner is as wat ons gedink het! Ons was bietjie bekommerd oor die ligging van die gastehuis, dit het gelyk na 'n baie vervalle deel van die dorp, maar toe ons eers die sekuriteit opmerk, het ons baie gerus gevoel. Bring muskietweerder saam, want hier is ongelukkig baie muskiete. Die kamers het wel dakwaaiers, maar in die bloedige somer bly dit warm en mens kan nie waak om nog muskiete in te nooi deur 'n venster oop te maak nie.

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.
