Langhuis Guesthouse

Owner stayed up late waiting for us. So sweet and helpful.

Room was so good

Everything!

Nothing at all.

Everything was fabulous!

Langhuis is a gracious, well appointed place to stay, very well located if you need peace, space and beauty.

I booked a room at the Langhuis Guesthouse specifically because I wanted a suite with doors that opened onto a stoep and that looked out at the garden and view. When I got there, my room turned out to be the one room that has no doors leading out, no stoep, no garden, no view. I honestly don't quite know how it happened, as I take care when I choose where I'm going to stay. The detailed description on Booking.com makes things clear, but the text upfront and the images are misleading. The room was described as a villa and an image shows greenery through the window, when in fact it is just a bedroom and en suite bathroom, with a window onto the street. Most of the images are of the gorgeous rooms facing the garden and mountain. One can of course sit on the lovely stoep on the other side of the house and enjoy the garden and view. But if you want an actual garden room, make sure you're not booking the one inside the house.

The staff were exceptional. Breakfast was super delicious with freshly baked scones and Dutch bread each morning. Both Linda and Carlin helped us tremendously with our stay and logistics. We will be back.

Property with secure parking, accommodation was comfortable, nice bathroom facilities. Availability of a common area indoor and outdoor lounge for the use of guests was nice too.

Relaxed atmosphere in calming garden

Litlle bit of street noise, but was not disturbing

The decor and feeling about Longhuis is amazing. The breakfast was also lovely. Thank you.

Delicious breakfasts, stunning decor - a very relaxed happy place to chill with friends nice to go as a group and take over all 4 rooms an dhtn enjoy the big wide open veranda, pool and garden

there was nothing I would have changed

Beautiful upmarket rooms.

Everything was perfect.

Perfect, quiet getaway in the lovely town of Graaf-Reinet

Super friendly, welcoming and professional ! Would recommened to anyone visiting Graaf Reinet

Julia! Wonderful welcome. Julia looked after us exceptionally. Beautiful property. Garden is lovely. Views to the mountains. Bedrooms large, neat, thoughtfully appointed. Delicious & varied vegan breakfast.

Hele mooie accommodatie en super lieve mensen allemaal

Sehr nettes Personal, hervorragendes Frühstück mit selbst gebackenem Brot! Sehr nettes und aufmerksames Personal, sehr familiär und absolut weiter zu empfehlen

De ligging en vriendelijke host Julia

Alles was goed

Very nice guesthouse with friendly guest lady

Julia som skötte guesthouset var helt underbar. Frukosten var utmärkt. Älskade stilen på rummen och badrummet var gigantiskt.

Beautifully cooked and presented breakfast by efficient and delightful Julia. Most attractive and natural gardens against the mountain backdrop.

The contact number on our booking confirmation was wrong and should be corrected as we couldn’t contact the property. A heavy thunderstorm highlighted the serious need for maintenance to the roof, gutters and down pipe. There was a leak in our room and bathroom.

Sehr nette Gastgeberin, die auf uns wartete um die Schlüssel zu übergeben. Die Zimmer sind sehr groß und es war alles vorhanden. Frühstück war ebenfalls sehr gut. Super nettes Personal.

Ruhige Lage mit Blick auf die Berge, leckeres Frühstück, Pool mit Liegen, sicherer Parkplatz

Restaurants abends nur mit Auto erreichbar, Zimmer etwas dunkel und abgewohnt - einfach verglaste Fenster, die nicht richtig verschließen, Badezimmer auch renovierungsbedürftig

Excellent

Extrem luxuriös. Tolle, große Außenanlage. Wunderbares Zimmer mit Moskitonetz und Klimaanlage. Riesiges Bad, eigene Bademäntel. Sehr bequemes Bett. Toller Einrichtungsstil. Tolle Böden. Das beste Frühstück, das man sich vorstellen kann! Frisch gebackenes Brot, Granola. Frischer Orangensaft und frische Früchte. Frisch gemachte Eier mit Gemüse. Wirklich einzigartig!! Wir würden immer wieder kommen und können es definitiv weiterempfehlen. Im Ort gibt es ein Restaurant „Hello You“, das einzigartig ist->tolles Essen, toller Vibe, tolles Ambiente und eigener Shop. Der Ort ist sehr süß.

Das Fenster im Bad/Zimmer konnte nicht geöffnet werden.

Our stay at Langhuis Guesthouse was absolutely incredible and exceeded all expectations. The rooms were comfortable, spotless, and beautifully presented. The property itself is gorgeous, with such a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere. The food was delicious, and the staff were exceptionally friendly, warm, and helpful throughout our stay. We will definitely be staying here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere to stay.

Honestly, there was nothing we didn’t like — everything about our stay was wonderful.

The apartment was spotless, and Julia was incredibly responsive and friendly. The location was perfect for exploring! We loved the spacious and most beautiful decorated rooms, felt right at home. Excellent breakfast! Highly recommended! Exceptional! Thank you Julia and team!

Beautiful minimalistic rooms with everything you need

I recommend that the staff recommend some places for dinner

Very luxurious, tranquil, safe, old country manor lux, elegant furnishings and layout, splendid location, and exceptional hosting.

I'd remove the bidet in R3. It has an odour.

Had a bit of a problem getting hold of someone to open up but all worked out in the end

My overnight stay at Langhuis Guesthouse was simply not enough. This charming guesthouse and the beautiful town of Graaff-Reinet deserve more time. The facilities are fantastic, comfortable, and thoughtfully done. The staff are incredibly attentive, with lovely personal touches that made my solo stay feel warm and welcoming. I left already planning my next visit and will definitely be rebooking.

A place to come to rest

This is a superb overnight stay in a perfect location. Our hostess Julia was fantastic. I would recommend it to everyone. The rooms are thoughtfully put together and the veranda is a safe haven

Everything was perfect

Location, room size and decor and beautiful verandah to relax

No proper plugs for technology; two point plugs , CToC plug points; also inconvenience of hairdryer vs mirror. Tech upgrade will be much appreciated. Compliments on good wifi. And personal touches like mozzi repellent and bathroom gowns would be lovely - alternatively warn guests to bring

Safe parking Peaceful setting

No tv in room

Beautiful quiet stay surrounding by gorgeous gardens and mountains with a lovely pool and tranquil rooms. Host was very welcoming.

Two Cape Town lads came to stay at the end and disrupted the vibe a bite, it’s better for women and families.

The room was really nicely decorated, the grounds were lovely and a beautiful 15m swimming pool was the icing on the cake. The breakfast was lovely too but most of all, the staff were really kind and pleasant. The town of Graff-Reinet was one of the nicest we've seen across South Africa. Really nice restaurants, shops, coffee shops, etc. The national park nearby was a wonderful attraction with fantastic scenery and wildlife. Highly recommend.

Wir wurden von Julia herzlich empfangen. Das Gästehaus liegt in einem ruhigen Quartier, ca. 1 km vom Zentrum entfernt. Das Zimmer und Bad ist sehr gross und bietet alle Annehmlichkeiten. Im grossen Garten oder am Pool mit schöner Aussicht kann man relaxen. Das Frühstück war sehr fein und wurde frisch zubereitet.

Das Wasser im Pool war nicht sehr sauber.

One of the most beautiful places we stayed on our road trip through the Karoo.it made us fall in love with Graaf Reinet.

We were warmly welcomed. Loved just about everything about this place. The room had everything you could need. The breakfast was excellent. The room was spacious and comfortable. The view into the back garden was special and very peaceful.

Would have liked to have a small coffee machine in the room and a TV, even if both of these were available in the lounge.

Julia is a superstar!!!!

Schitterend ingerichte accommodatie. Prachtige tuin en heerlijk ontbijt. Groot zwembad

Het zwembad was troebel en daardoor niet zo aantrekkelijk

Comfortable, clean, beautifully styled - julia is a hospitality expert

Everything the room is big and beatiful patio

Oh my goodness, let's start with the breakfast! Our host - and I am at a loss to remember her name, sorry; was an absolute delight, friendly, full of helpful local advice and a fantastic cook. Breakfast in the dining room with a fire going was truly scrumptious and such a nice start to the day. The room was spacious with a gorgeous patio and the very beautifully designed garden had wonderful views of the mountain.

Nothing, it was perfect.

Sehr charmante Unterkunft, top ausgestattet, Frühstück außergewöhnlich.

Wunderschöne Lodge in schöner Lage mit traumhaften Ausblick. Die Einrichtung der Zimmer und Bäder waren wunderschön, das Frühstück am Morgen ein Traum.

Ein wunderbar eingerichtetes Guesthouse in ca 700m zum Zentrum entfernt. Julia ist eine wunderbare Gastgeberin, die einem zudem ein tolles Frühstück serviert. Der gepflegte Garten mit toller Aussicht und Pool lädt zum Entspannen ein.

Nichts

Beautiful room and and exceptional view. It was nice and quiet. The service was wonderful and the staff was friendly and helpful. Will definitely recommend staying there.

A beautiful property in a stunning, peaceful setting. Very comfortable and impeccably clean. Loved the furnishings which reflect the historic nature of the building. Being hosted by the delightful, professional, friendly and helpful Julia made this stay special. Superb breakfast too

De warme, hartelijke ontvangst, in een wondermooie omgeving!

Helemaal niks!

Friendly and efficient staff.

The photos on Booking.com were beautiful and we looked forward to staying there.

Our stay at this guesthouse was unfortunately one of the worst we’ve experienced. From the moment we arrived at 17:00, we struggled to even gain entry—there was no clear signage indicating the entrance, and it took a long time to find someone to open the gate. The staff were consistently rude, unhelpful, and unprofessional. Check-in was difficult and disorganized. Breakfast was not freely available as advertised—we were forced to choose a time slot, which defeated the purpose of a relaxing stay. On our second day, our room key was locked inside the room, and there was no staff member on site to assist. Reaching someone by phone was nearly impossible, and when we finally got through, the person told us she only handles reservations and was two hours away. Eventually, the so-called “manager” appeared and literally climbed through a fence near the swimming pool, she seems to live in a shack in the veld behind the pool. The room itself was disappointing: flickering lights, a constantly running toilet, and poor cleaning standards, old worn towels. We also couldn’t sleep due to the loud traffic noise from the road nearby. Breakfast portions were laughably small—we took photos because we genuinely couldn’t believe it. The pool area was not guest-ready either. Umbrellas and chairs were still covered in tarps, with no effort made to create a welcoming space. Overall, this was not a guesthouse in any real sense of the word. It was inhospitable, unprofessional, and stressful. We would not recommend it to anyone.

The staff were very welcoming, the room was warm and inviting and the breakfast was exceptional. The freshly squeezed orange juice was delicious.

I loved Julia. She was very friendly and helpful. We had to leave early the next morning and she made us lovely sandwiches for the road. Comfortable and clean rooms. Everything was good. I will stay there again and will recommend this guesthouse.

Julia’s hospitality is next level! We had a fantastic stay and great breakfast!

Nothing

Clean and comfortable. Enjoyed the swimming pool very much water was clean and warm.

Fabulous room and lovely pool. Lovely quiet setting. Julia our host was wonderful and her breakfast exceptional. Loved the Camdeboo and the Valley of Desolation which were only 10 mins drive. Walking distance from restaurants in the evening.

Nothing

A beautiful old house. All cream and white and cool with a charming garden and a huge bed of pale pink Gowra flowers. Also a deep inviting swimming pool. Good courteous staff.

Nothing.

Rooms were big and staff was professional and friendly

All was ok

We Loved everything about this gorgeous guesthouse! So disappointed we didn't stay longer. Julia took such amazing care of us. Her morning flapjacks were the best we have ever had!

The house is gorgeous but extremely hot inside we think what would make this property even better is aircons inside the main lounge and TV room.

Julia was a really wonderful host and the accommodation was so well kept and beautifully decorated. After letting Julia knew we would be leaving early in the morning, she even arranged a packed breakfast - this was beyond what we could have reasonably expected.

No complaints to share whatsoever.

Loved it. Thank you

LANGHUIS is beautiful, the decor is simple and tasteful. Julia who manages the guesthouse was so friendly, welcoming and able to give us great recommendations for activities and restaurants. The towels, linen etc are all so generous with thoughtful things like tonics in the fridge and colouring pencils and paper for the children.

The mattress in our family suite sagged a bit and with the extreme heat we did need an aircon in the children’s part of the bedroom.

Everything, so beautiful inside and outside. Room was so comfy. Aircon worked so well as it was boiling hot. Breakfast was great. Fresh scones baked, homemade sour dough bread. Homemade muesli. All wrapped up in an absolutely beautiful location. Staff were all so friendly and helpful. Julia is a diamond. What an awesome hostess.

Leaving! We wanted to turn around and go back.

The decor was stunning, with a charming farmhouse style that was both aesthetically pleasing and welcoming. The property was exquisitely maintained, and the spacious rooms added to the comfort of the stay. The pool, with its breathtaking view of the mountain, was a highlight. Breakfast was exceptional—especially the bread, which deserves a 12/10! Joyful Julia, the host, was attentive and made the experience even more delightful.

Nothing against the property itself, but I would have preferred firmer cushions.

The breakfast and the size of the bed and bath rooms
