Reviewed Sep 1, 2025I loved the peaceful atmosphere and the location near to everything in town. The decor and style of the property is beautiful. The views are also stunning.
Because it was winter, the veld was bleak and brown. Would love to see it after the rains. Not the property's fault, though!

Reviewed May 23, 2023The quaint little town, the friendly hosts, the sizzling hot fire going in the lounge, the electric blankets and heater in the bathroom, boiling hot water, warm water bottles and flask with boiling water ready for coffee and hot water bottles due to town electricity being off, etc.
We loved everything. It was just a pity that the specific day of our arrival, the towns electricity was off from 7am that morning and only came back on after 8. We wanted to go eat out, because of the electricity (and thus a water issue), the hotel was nit able to offer any food. Luckily I had bread, cold meat and cheese in our cooler that we could prepare at candle light. I am sure the owners would have offered food if we asked. The situation was out of the hosts control & they went out of their way to make us comfortable.

Reviewed Apr 17, 2023Karen and Mark where very welcoming upon our arrival. The Deli is stocked with delicious home made cookies and treats and has a very warm and homely atmosphere. I would most definitely recommend them as they really go the extra mile with service and serve a delicious breakfast.

not the fault of the establishment but because of loadshedding, there was no water in the morning as the pump station had tripped. there were containers of water available for such times but it must be terribly inconvenient for any establishment to work around and very annoying for foreign tourists who are not accustomed to our new normal
