Basic overnight facilities.
Anker guest house is more of an overnight stay than a guest house. The facilities are clean but basic. The owners were very helpful in helping us cook (I didn't realize there were no cooking facilities, which is odd as plates and cutlery are provided). There are some basic items missing, such as soap in the bathrooms and maybe newer towels. A small table in the house will be useful to eat at.

The roads are bad. The house needs a lot of attention inside and out. But Covid killed the town. Maybe if more funds were put into Philippolis, the town itself, it would be better.

It has been a very nice halfway stop for us between Robertson and Tzaneen. The most beautiful was the dirt road from Gariep van Philippolis between all the farms - was very beautiful! The place is perfect for an overnight option, but has all the amenities you need for a longer stay. The pool was a winner with the kids who had to sit in the car for so long.

Excellent value for money.
Nice people. Good value if you want to make your own food and don't want to wait until late in the morning for breakfast.

Affordable accommodation for families and business travellers.
Elaine welcomed us warmly and she made us feel at home in a jiffy. Her husband kindly assisted us with the braai. The accommodation is equipped with everything you need for self-catering. Just remember to bring your own soap. We would have loved to stay longer to visit all the attractions, but we had to hit the road the next day.

Had a great time and felt safe.
The guest house was clean and tidy with a nice spacious room opening onto the veranda. Elaine is a warm and friendly person and made us feel right at home. She recommended a local restaurant and we thoroughly enjoyed the food and company there. We were fortunate to have the local "band" there who spoiled us with their musical talent. We felt as if we had been living in the town for years.

Krag- en waterprobleem in dorp wat eienaars na beste van hul vermoë probeer regstel het met kragopwekker en boorgat.

Power and water problem in town that owners tried their best to resolve with a generator and borehole.
Owners are very friendly and helpful, but facilities are very basic and I would have liked it to be cleaner. No safe parking, but besides that it the accommodation was acceptable.

The road there and back to N1 is good.
The two beds in the single bedroom have electric blankets, but the switches are not easily accessible. The two bedside lights did not work. There were only 2 towels for 3 people. The owner is building on it so it looks a bit messy, but we slept well.

Friendly people, clean and tidy, but the linen was a bit tired.
Very friendly people, the room was tidy, and we felt very safe. Efforts were made to keep my dog safe as well. The room was clean and tidy, only a little bit of thiolette paper. Linen was a bit tired, although the towels were new. The highlight of the stay was the dinner at soul food on Phillipolis.
