The host was so friendly and hospitable, Peter also prepared a bomb breakfast the next morning, I regret leaving the yogurt😅. The night I stayed over was very cold and he was so kind to give me more blankets at the late hour of that cold night.
The staff was nice and place were quiet

The friendly staff and management was so accommodating and helpful The area outside the 2 rooms was lovely -we enjoyed sundowners there
The upstairs room wasn't as nice as the 2 rooms downstairs.
The view was beautiful.
Headlamp was broken Room service wasn't done until requested Poor condition of the rooms Dogs hair on the blankets
Service on a level as it used to be years ago. Homeley feel. A place where you return.
Breakfast was great. Host cooked the eggs perfectly. Delicious sausage. Had plenty of choice.
There are a lot of doors and windows, and the curtains weren't thick enough. Felt a bit exposed.
Did not have breakfast. Close to Karkloof.
Plugs are inadequate. Uncomfortable, behind the bed. No mirror for makeup and hair drying. We had bicycles, so the space was a bit cramped.
Personal service. Close to facilities in Howick.

The location was great, Howick is a charming town and everything we needed was close by. It was peaceful, beautiful gardens and had everything we needed.
I found the room crowded with unnecessary furniture that made it difficult to move around in freely. The indoor table, the couches and the dressing table, extra night stands and 2x clothing racks were not needed and just made the room feel too full. I also was not a fan of the brown carpet underfoot, especially in the kitchenette area. The mixer is installed in such a way that getting to the tap in the kitchenette was very difficult, which caused us to unfortunately leave a tap dripping over the floor all night, resulting in a wet carpet. Also, we live animals and we're delighted to see the "pets roaming" signs, but there was a feint cat pee smell in our room, which was not great
The gardens were well maintained and rooms very clean
Decor was dates and rooms ugly. Who puts two industrial pug points above the beds. Crappy pillows and one towel was more like a rag. The place is over priced for what was offered and with an error on booking.com, we ended up paying way more than what we planned. Very disappointed as I would not have booked somewhere else. The manager was a bit creepy.
Grundsätzlich schönes Anwesen. Sehr netter Gastgeber. Tolles Schwimmbad aber mit zahlreichen Verbotsschildern und deshalb leider nicht nutzbar. Frühstück wird angeboten. Betten sind sauber und gut. Kissen wie überall "Geschmackssache" Sehr gutes Internet. Kurzer Weg zum Howick Wasserfall und Museum.
Leider in die Jahre gekommen und deshalb nicht mehr ganz zeitgemäß. Alte Bodenteppiche und alte Sessel die stark mit Raumspray behandelt werden, deshalb permanenter lästiger Geruch und trotzdem "schmuddelig". Lüfter im Bad stark veraltet und sehr laut. Toilettenpapier erfüllt nicht den Mindeststandart ist sehr dünn.
I liked the hospitality and location. Bed was also very comfortable and clean. I love a clean bed.. A microwave, kettle ( along with tea and coffee) , basin, shower , TV, ect. Were provided. Towels and soap was also provided in the bathroom making it lovely for not having to pack out your bags.
The furniture seemed as if it needed some TLC. Biggest thing is our bedroom had a strong smell and whenever our neighbours used water the pipes made very loud noises which didn't make our stay as enjoyable.
Location
The double bed was awful Poor ventilation No privacy
I booked for a double bed but I was given a single bed. The room smells like dump water and there was no tissue paper in the toilet.
It was clean
Booked a double bed,they gave me a room with 2 tiny beds ,they said they couldn't give me a double bed cause I was alone and they got another booking from a couple that why they gave the couple the room I booked to them cause they can't sleep in two single beds
The gesture and welcoming from the guy that runs the place.
Quiet surroundings and good location
I came through and stayed for the Midmar Mile Weekend. Everything was great at Nutmeg, the service was friendly, checking in and checking out was easy and we really enjoyed out stay!
The property and my stay was great. 2 small bits of constructive criticism. The curtains could have been thicker and hung neater. The fan was great but loud.
Staff was friendly, organized everything we needed.
None
We loved the proximity to where I was working that night. The security is good - there is a remote gate and inside parking. Pretty garden.
I always appreciate little thoughtful touches - don't need to be 'extra' in terms of money. A little flower from their beautiful garden in a vase or little bottle in the room. There was no tea in the room. Although when I asked the owner for 2 bags and some hot water, he was very happy to bring us that as Eskom was off. Perhaps a little jug of fresh milk and jug of cold water in the fridge? But a little small shampoo in bathroom (I forgot mine so had to go out and buy one!). Tiny things make a huge impact.
Very quaint, well looked after and every detail considered.
All really good
Needs new pillows on the beds Would be nice to supply some complementary soap to wash hands and some shower stuff.
To book again
The place is quiet, very clean and the staff are very friendly.
Basic food and accomodation
Nothing exceptional, just adequate
Les équipements. La bienveillance de l'hôte.
Rien.
It was good.
Location was good. Room comfortable..
No easy chair.
Very convenient..breakfast very good and served with care.
The furniture and fittings were tired and needed some maintenance attention.there was only instant coffee in the room no tea of any sort.. the shower did not have a non slip mat. I am 85 and do not want to fall. Also no grab rail. Drawers did not open.
I had a very nice stay. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made me feel welcome throughout my visit. The facilities were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend staying here.
Everything, the hosts, Tim and Peter
Nothing
Everything! It was quiet, near main street and was safe! Staff were non-intrusive and were friendly, and everything was incredible.
Alt heruntergekommen renovierungsbedürftig unsauber! Frühstück ok!

Peaceful
The fridge is making noise
Very clean, and safe.
Interacting with management, via communication needs attention.
The comfort and quiet
It was average.the employees were reasonable
The owner decided to make my day visitor pay additional fees because if she uses the toilet,it counts as using his facilities so she must pay,she ended up paying R300,which is more than half of what I was paying and she wasn't sleeping there. He randomly added additional fees outside the advert on booking.com . It made my experience very unpleasant.I am never booking there again.N.B:they should do something about they insect issue in the bathroom
Breakfast was very filling and well cooked.
You enter an environment that is perfectly layed out and maintained. It is almost impossible to find any dissonant. The arrangement of rooms is nice, room are spacious and clean. Peter runs his guesthouse in a very professional and welcoming way.
Nothing at all. I would book any time again without the slightest hesitstion.
Friendly and welcoming

The quietness and cleanness
None much
Close to all amenities, relaxed environment, welcoming host.
1. the area was closer to town 2. the staff was friendly
1. the showering space and toilet space was small, we had to squash 2. sheet was dirt 3. Room was small
Accommodated our need for an early arrival and a late check out.
Good value for money and great location
We arrived late (was a last minute "emergency" booking) and the gentleman (Tim) was friendly and welcoming. He have us excellent recommendations for dinner at 68 on Main.
Nothing negative to say.
1. the room had Wifi 2. the room had a fridge 3. the room had an electric blanket 4. the room was big
1. the blanket was small 2. we requested a double bed and we were given two separate beds 3. the fridge was noisy
I was really tired after my day and I could have an early night and just have privacy. It had everything I needed
I can't think of anything
