Marnice hat sich vorher nach unserer Ankuntszeit erkundigt erkundigt und uns die Zufahrt erklärt! Wunderschöne Umgebung... Pool im Moment defekt...
wunderbares Frühstück, sehr schöner, gepflegter Garten mit diversen Sitzgelegenheiten, eine überaus freundliche und kümernde Gastgeberint, alles top!
Es liegt mitten im Busch und ist abgeschieden von der Stadt. Viele Dinge sind sehr liebevoll gemacht. Ein Hochsitzterrasse mit einem tollen Blick. Ein sehr gepflegter Garten und Böcke, die außerhalb des Zauns laufen. Wer Ruhe mag, für den ist die Unterkunft mit ihrer Gastfreundschaft sehr geeignet.
The staff was welcoming handry and Dorothy. Oh not to forget the host marnice
Nothing at all
Great breakfast the omlette was tasty thanks Dorothy
The property is in a rural location, but close to Rustenburg. The quietness, punctuated by birdsong, was just lovely and so relaxing after a long haul flight to Joburg. Nice swimming pool and gardens. Room was very comfortable. Breakfast was nice and it was good to have the option of an evening meal, which was delicious home cooked food. Marnice and Jan Piet were welcoming hosts.
Nothing!
Top locatie, top accomodatie!
Het is heel schoon en netjes…. Rustgevend en een geweldige prachtige plek om te vertoeven.

It’s a good scenery, the morning breeze from the breakfast setup is amazing and the place is quiet too.

Breathtaking views and a fantastic host! The space was beautifully kept, the location was perfect, and the host went out of their way to make the stay enjoyable. The breakfast was exceptional - fresh, delicious, and a perfect start to each day. I would definitely return.
The place is beautiful, peaceful, homely.

It was lovely and the dinner we got was amazing
Facility wonderful, absolutely worth to go
Sehr nette und zuvorkommende Gastgeberin, es ist sehr ruhig dort (größere Entfernung bis zum nächsten Ort) und man kann auf der ehem. Farm beim Spaziergang Vögel und andere Tiere beobachten, Möglichkeit der Selbstverpflegung, tolles Frühstück und auch die Möglichkeit, ein Abendessen zu bestellen.

The hosts were so welcoming. The hospitality is out of this world. It felt like home.

We were attending a competition in Rustenburg and we ran very late. The hostess was accommodating and worried about us, which made it feel like we were visiting family. Even though a bit of a drive out of Rustenburg (only about 20 minutes out), it was a great choice to have some rest and relaxation after a day of competing. May daughter absolutely loved staying there and wants to go back to get some hours next to the pool. The shared spaces are open and welcoming. Breakfast was ready for us at 6:30 as we had to make our way back for another day of competing. We will most definitely be back.
The location, the staff, and the cleanliness

Whether you're looking for a serene escape or a convenient base for exploration, BouBou Guesthouse strikes the perfect balance.
Nothing...everything was perfect! A perfect location paired with a stay where everything meets your expectations is truly rare. It seems this place is a haven for those seeking not only scenic beauty but also impeccable hospitality.
We stayed two nights and had a wonderful experience. We felt very welcome and were so well taken care of during our stay by Marnice, Dorothy and Henry.The property is lovely with a lot of trees, birds and animals, the room and bathroom were super cosy, the garden and the pool are great and the breakfast was awesome. We felt like at home and would definitely come back!
Nature's serenity 😊
The location is perfect if you want to have stay away from the noise and stress. It has got everything, the pool is great. Marnice is the perfect host and goes the extra mile to make your stay perfect.

Super friendly staff.
Beautiful property and staff was excellent!
Boubou Bed and breakfast is a wonderful place to stay. The hosts offered us an evening meal on our arrival which was really delicious. The rooms are very comfortable and it is a great place to stop between Johannesburg and Pilanesberg game reserve. We would love to stay again!

Bou went beyond my expectations and delivered a more than expected breakfast after telling her I am not a big breakfast fan and she can just leave some fruit salad and joghurt, she did not do that she made me eggs and bacon and Toast nice healthy toast. the second morning I go a fantastic jam filled omelette with all my favourite contents. The rooms were clean, the towels were fluffy and white and they had enough blankets for the one nippy night. it is a safe and very secure site and actually the perfect spot for a small family weekend in the bush and it is pet friendly. will definately visit them again
Nothing this is the best B&B I have stayed in in a very long time. they really go all out even had a welcome board in Reception for me.
The privacy
None
From start to finish (even whilst on business), I felt like I was at a home away from home. Staff were lovely, and Marnice made my stay so comfortable. A place not to be taken as an overnight, such a good place to relax and enjoy nature (the birds were stunning, even during winter)! Thank you again!
Nothing.
I loved that the place was neat, warm and safe. There was even an electric blanket for this cold weather. I loved it, it was the closest place to home
Just the gravel road to the place but it was below 2km
Comfortable, clean, welcoming

We had such a lovely stay at Boubou B&B. The staff are exceptional. Was delightful to watch the game feeding and drinking water. A very tranquil and pleasant place to stay. Both dinner and breakfast were very good.
The garden surrounding the house is absolutely gorgeous! there’s a large pool and the facilities are great. Marnice, the hostess, is very welcoming and helpful.
Nothing.
This is our second time, and there will be more. We like everything in this place.
The place was lovely and serene. I would go there again, it a comfortable country stay
The room space is too small, there isn't space to move. Gabon
Good reception from the owners and the staff
The gravel road
We felt like we were in paradise from the first moment. Communication worked great, we had direct personal contact with Marnice and were able to clarify some questions in advance. A warm welcome with a delicious dinner and a lovingly maintained guest house with a beautiful garden rounded off our stay. Unfortunately we could only stay one night, but we will definitely be back! Thank you for this lovely experience.
It was amazing! Such a wonderful place with nice people - a liitlle paradies
None Only: we wish we had more time there 😃
It is a beautiful place located in a serene area, perfect for a getaway, especially from the busy city life. A quiet place to relax and enjoy the pool by the deck. The food is amazing. I enjoyed every bite. The hosts are friendly and always ensure that your stay with them is satisfactory. Staff is friendly, always greeting you with a smile and seeing the animals graze is the best. Especially the birds chirping to round your experience of serenity. All that is missing is freshly baked cookies, but neitherless you feel at home.
The host is very very pleasant. she made us feel at home, starting from the calls from the day before we arrived and the day of the arrival, she kept checking on us and advising us on the road status. the rooms are super clean, spotless. Its very quiet and peaceful, with a view of animals here and there. Breakfast was awesome with very friendly staff. Would definatley return to this place some time soon.
To be honest, there was nothing not to like. Everything was great!!
Yoh I liked just about everything. From the location... Peaceful and homely. Marnice the host and her staff, so warm and welcoming. They called to check how far we are before we could even get to the property. She communicates so well, I sent her a message a day before and she responded within an hour and also sent an email and the location again on WhatsApp. She is such a warm soul. The rooms and bathrooms were neat and spotless. For us tea lovers it was a bonus because you have your smalletjie kettle and teas and sugars and milk... Thebreakfast is actually a buffet. There's a variety of food to choose from, Dorothy the chef, 😊 she's a sweetheart and also the gentleman taking care of the yard was really friendly. There's a braai area for meat lovers. The pool was always clean. And a breathe taking view from the upstairs varanda my goodness, you can actually view the mountains and wow, it was breathe taking. If you love nature like me, you definitely should make a turn here. There are also "calmer" 😂😂😂wild animals like the impala, squirrels, kudus around. Not to forget pets lovers like my daughter❤️😘, she fell in love with their beautiful dog, meinkie (pardon my spelling). She's such a social dog but only if she notices that you also give her attention😅😅😅. They bonded so well with my daughter. What a wonderful stay we had. Keep up the good work guys. You made our stay a memorable one and we will surely come back for more homely hospitality. Great value for money. 💰👍Thank you so much and God bless.
I doubt there's anything that didn't meet my expectations.
We like it all. Great place, great host,... great
Large fully equipped room
The property was quite far out of town so we felt we needed to eat at the property. I mistakenly didn’t agree the cost in advance and it turned out to be more expensive than other places we stayed at.
We spent our first two nights in South-Africa in Boubou, Marnice and Jan-Piet made us feel at home immediately. Evenings and nights are very cold, but very cost near the fire in the dining room and the electric warmed duvets in the bedrooms 😍. Jan-Piet and Marnice gave us a lot of tips regarding or stay and our trip! Dinner and breakfast was very good!
Can't think of anything!
The property was very clean and the gardens etc were well maintained and a place where you could relax and listen to the amazing bird life and see the various game. The host Marnice was always on hand and made us supper and breakfast. Both were very good. Communication was also excellent with the host.
The location is not for everyone, as it is rural and about 20 minutes from Rustenburg.
The host was nice. She was welcoming, we were overwhelmed by how clean and organized everything was
Nothing. Everything was perfect
The privacy, and the owners were so friendly. Oh the garden was so beautiful
The parking is small.
Very clean and well maintained accommodation. Very courteous hostess.
Breakfast was excellent and extremely generous. The location is great with a real bushveld feel. Many antelope wondering around inside and outside the property and varied bird species to be seen (and heard).
The road that we took may have been an issue if we did not have a high-clearance vehicle (bit rutted and muddy in places due to recent rain). Would recommend that future patrons be warned of this, or directions for a better route be provided.
The house is in a beautiful garden area and surrounded by nature. A highlight for us was a little private game drive through the farm next by where we could see Oryx's, Buffaloes and much more. We felt also very welcomed and the everyone at Boubou is so friendly! Wish we would have more days there.
Warm and inviting hosts . Clean, tranquil and beautiful place to visit with family or even as a solo traveler. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.
Nothing. Only wish I could have spent more time to enjoy the surroundings.
It's quiet and peaceful,
