No, photo on website it looks nice and "cozy" but certainly far from it. No TV no heater. Room very cold. Could be wrong but I don't think there was Wi Fi either. Sorry to be negative about the institution, but that's just my humble opinion.

As we were in Karkloof on a Training Camp, we effectively used the B&B to sleep and were away during the day.

We were received kindly and the place was clean and tidy.
It's just awkward and impersonal with owners who were around us all the time. Feel like you are staying in their house because there is no privacy. No TV in rooms and have to watch TV with owners. Breakfast was great. TV in rooms. for the price i would recommend aircons.

40 Fraser Street B&B 's response
Good day Carel,
Unfortunately, many people get confused with a B&B and a guest lodge.
With the current situation in our country with loadshedding it would not be profitable to have aircon installed, as we have had to lay funds for a generator as well as look at getting solar panels. This is very costly, and I do not feel that we are overpriced.
We would very much like to host you again.

Owners very friendly and everything was as we expected.
Everything was fine. Our wheel hit a pothole and my husband had to have a wheel changed early and he didn't eat breakfast. The guest house then made him a sandwich, which he could take away.

Not what we expected.
The accommodation was not up to the same standard as our previous website bookings for which we used the same filters and paid less. The guest house is old (excusable), but neglected and very basic: simply furnished, no microwave or TV. The bathroom in particular needs upgrading. The bedroom carpet was dirty. Our room walked from the owners' TV room which was slightly disturbing. Nevertheless, we slept well and enjoyed the breakfast. We used another room because the suite we booked would be affected by load shedding and I couldn't climb the open staircase with my fear of heights.

Friendly and helpful, packed us breakfast as we had to drive early. Room however impersonal, but clean. Bathroom old, stuffy and small. Black marks on very low ceiling, short paint or proper cleaning. No TV in room. TV room shared with other people. When I opened the curtains next morning to look at the garden, there was a lot of stuff lying in front of the window which was very unsightly. Parking area dark with many tree roots. For the same price and cheaper there are much better options in Howick. New photos must be uploaded.

Absolutely peaceful night's rest the bed was excellent quality.
Owners very friendly and really peaceful environment. The SuperSpar Store in Howick is luxurious and spacious and plenty of places to eat really good value for money. We will definitely stay there again if we have to sleep over again. What I can suggest is TV set only with Free TV channels from SABC TV1. TV2. TV3. and E-TV. That leaves R130. 00 per Year per TV. These may be options to help Owners that these are not crazy expensive expenses for them because they are pensioners. But this is only thought to be shared for Double rooms only.

Neat guest house, nice and clean. But unfortunately I think too expensive for what you get. R500 would have been more fair. Bath way too small for honeymoon suite.

Poor ventilation, no air-conditioning. Rooms very cold.
Not recommendable. Very basic, no air-conditioning, rooms cold so windows can't open, too cold. Host and wife not presentable (look sloppy). Kettle takes a long time to boil for tea / coffee. There was no water, they had no plan to provide, we went to buy water. Location is not well maintained. On the positive side the beds have warm blankets and breakfast was nice and enough.

Never again.
We stayed in the family room, stains on the carpet. The bathroom has no door and closes with a curtain. They broke into our vehicle in the evening, terrible security. Owners were helpful with cleaning of vehicle. Doesn't feel like a guesthouse at all, feels like renting a room in a boarding house for one night.

40 Fraser Street B&B 's response
Dear Francois,
Thank you for your review.
To advise this booking was originally booked as a double room for 2 adults, in regards to your phone call regarding bringing your niece with, we agreed for a small extra charge, we upgraded you to a Family room. When arriving you came with 3 adults, and 1 child. We decided not to charge any extra for extra adult. Our normal check in time is from 13:00, however you did arrive approx 11.30, which was a bit earlier than expected, and therefore we did not have sufficient time to inspect the room, and I apologise you found this not suitable. As to your car being broken into, this is a first time incident for us in the 10 years we have been in Howick, we were just as shocked as you. We did lock the gate as is our normal procedure, after this event we are reviewing our security.We did phone SAPS, and tried to help clean the car as best we could, we felt we did our best to accommodate you in this unfortunate incident.
Regards,
Grahame and Linken.
