The service was very good. The place was neat and everything worked 100%. Definitely a place to recommend for someone going in that direction.

Die diens was baie goed. Die plek was netjies en als het 100% gewerk. Beslis 'n plek om aan te beveel vir iemand wat in daardie rigting gaan.

Dear Bathandwa, we cannot apologise enough for the inconvenience caused during your stay. We have discussed this with our housekeeper Sylvia, unfortunately, she misunderstood that both the rooms needed to be serviced, not just the one as was done. Drinking bottled water is only supplied once during the guests' arrival. However, everything else that you mention should have been taken care of during the room servicing. We would also like to say thank you so much for the rest of your positive review, it is deeply appreciated. Please accept our sincere apologies, both from John and Gail and Sylvia. Warmest regards.

Beste Bathandwa, ons kan nie genoeg om verskoning vra vir die ongerief wat tydens jou verblyf veroorsaak is nie. Ons het dit met ons huishoudster Sylvia bespreek, ongelukkig het sy verkeerd verstaan dat beide die kamers gediens moet word, nie net die een soos gedoen is nie. Drink gebottelde water word slegs een keer tydens die gaste se aankoms voorsien. Alles anders wat jy noem moes egter tydens die kamerdiens versorg gewees het. Ons wil ook baie dankie sê vir die res van jou positiewe resensie, dit word opreg waardeer. Aanvaar asseblief ons opregte verskonings, beide van John en Gail en Sylvia. Hartlike groete.

Clean, comfortable. Clean, comfortable. Lovely decor. A bit disappointing that they advertise as a bed and breakfast but do not serve breakfast. Other than that, it is a lovely place to stay.

A great stop on our way - very comfy. We were delighted to find such a comfortable and lovely guest house for the night as we went up the coast. John went the extra mile - giving us soup for supper as there was load-shedding (no electricity), so it was a treat! Very comfy, safe with all amenities available - could even watch a bit of Wimbledon which was a treat! Will definitely recommend! Thanks.
