Lovely place to stay, offers a different feel and approach. I'd describe it as quaint! The welcome is great, easy and effortless. Recommended! I recommend this accommodation! It's different and although old-fashioned, it's well kept, maintained and looked after. Summer must be a delight - my travel time was in winter but the bedding was warm, soft and fresh, so much appreciated.

Definitely on our top 10 list. We travel for 40-plus weeks of the year and we highly recommend Skinkikofi. Owner Marius was a dream host, who went out of his way to accommodate our every need. Our rooms were very well appointed and included everything we needed for a week-long stay, including a gas cooker, kettle and emergency light for loadshedding. Strong WiFi was essential to our job in social media, and the WiFi at Skinkikofi was not only strong but very stable. Ample parking and within walking distance of restaurants, shops (Spar and Woolworths Foods) and laundry. Definitely on our top 10 accommodation list.

Interschool festival. The location is perfect for Interschools! Maybe not if you're looking for something quiet and secluded. Hamkikofie is located on the main street right after the Spar as you drive into Paarl. (Boys' High's side). Even though the owners tease that they only take Boys' Highers, they and even the guests were terribly polite to this young Gimmie. It is walking distance from Hussar Grill and Brauhaus. And only 2 km walking distance from Faure street. I couldn't be more excited about the location. The customer service is terribly accommodating. We had to book in on the Friday, but I was late for my 10 year reunion and I myself was a bit rude not to have given Skinkikoffe a heads up. 21:00 Skinkikoffie calls me terribly gifted to make arrangements for our arrival. They had no problem with it if we wanted to hang out even until 3:00 in the morning, we just had to call. Before twelve, with a hop in the step, we were very quickly and cheerfully helped and taken to our room. The owners are incredibly friendly and I had a nice chat. The only reason why safety doesn't also get 5 stars is just because of the location. As I mentioned you are on the main street and there are characters walking by, but your car is safely parked inside. Hamkikofie is staffed with a high wall and electric gate. You get keys and a remote to get yourself in and out. So it is very safe. We just really wanted to sleep that night so I didn't pay much attention to the guest house itself, but the room is nice and big and there is a fridge and microwave and basic utensils for tea and coffee, as well as nice cold milk right in the refrigerator. We also had a quick look at the swimming pool on Saturday morning, which was still very beautiful. We also got the room right next to the entrance which I believe is one of the smaller rooms when I compare it to the photos, but again was perfect for the purpose we shorted it for. Very neat and that nice African rural hospitality feeling. And I'm from the West Coast, so that's saying a lot. I don't know if I will do interschools every year, but if this is the case I would like to stay at Skinkikoffie every year now.

Interskole-festive. Die ligging is perfek vir Interskole! Dalk nie as jy iets stil en afgesonder soek nie. Skinkikoffie is geleë in die hoofstraat reg na die Spar soos mens Paarl inry. (Boys' High se kant). Al terg die eienaars dat hulle eintlik net Boys' Highers vat was hulle en selfs die gaste vreeslik beleef teenoor hierdie jong Gimmie. Dit is stapafstand van Hussar Grill en Brauhaus. En net slegs 2 km stapafstand van Faure straat. Ek kon nie meer opgewonde wees oor die ligging nie. Die kliëntediens is vreeslik akkommoderend. Ons moes die Vrydag inboek, maar ek was laat vir my 10 jaar reunie en ek self was bietjie onbeskof om nie vir Skinkikoffie 'n heads up te gegee het nie. 21:00 bel Skinkikoffie my vreeslik begaafd om reëlings te tref vir ons aankoms. Hulle het geen probleem daarmee gehad as ons selfs tot 3:00 die oggend wou kuier nie, ons moes net bel. Voor twaalf was met 'n huppel in die stap baie vinnig en vrolik gehelp en geneem na ons kamer. Die eienaars is verskriklik vriendelik en ek het lekker 'n geselsie aangeknoop. Die enigste rede hoekom veiligheid nie ook 5 sterre kry nie is net weens die ligging. Soos ek noem jy is teen die hoofstraat en daar loop karakters verby, maar jou kar is veilig binne parkeer. Skinkikoffie is beman met 'n hoë muur en elektriese hek. Jy kry sleutels en 'n remote om jouself in en uit te kry. So dit is baie veilig. Ons wou net eintlik slaap die aand so ek het nie baie aandag aan die gastehuis self geskenk nie, maar die kamer is lekker groot en daar is 'n yskas en mikrogolf en basiese gereedskap vir tee en koffie, sowel as lekker koue melk reg in die yskas. Ons het ook Saterdagoggend vinnig 'n oog oor die swembad gegooi wat nogals baie mooi was. Ons het ook die kamer reg langs die ingang gekry wat ek glo van die kleiner kamers is as ek dit vergelyk met die foto's, maar weereens perfek gewees vir die doel waarvoor ons dit gekort het. Baie netjies en daai lekker Afrikaanse plattelandse gasvryheid gevoel. En ek is van die Weskus, so that is saying a lot. Ek weet nie of elke jaar interskole gaan doen nie, maar as dit die geval is sal ek nou elke jaar graag by Skinkikoffie wil bly.
