Ideal for a night's sleepover.
Very well located. Everything one needs. Very clean and tidy. The decor is very tasteful. It was a bonus to have a small kitchen with a fridge and microwave. I find myself in the east again in July and will definitely spend the night here again.

Daar is geen klokkie of interkom by die hek nie en dit lyk onnet. Ek moes eers bel om die hek oop te maak.

Translate to English.
There is no bell or intercom at the gate and it looks untidy. I had to call first to open the gate.
The guest house is, as the name says, minimalist. The room was neat and clean. The driver was unfriendly. The upgraded flat screen TV is a very small unit. There is only Openview available.

It was the friendliest, cleanest, most beautiful and affordable accommodation, far above expectation.
What I was looking for was above expectation, not only friendly service, but it was so clean and tidy and really very beautiful, I couldn't wait to send the photos to others to show what a beautiful place we slept in. The little things that may not be important to others were wow to me like the smarties on my towel, the surprise candy package next to my bed. The shampoo I forgot at home and the biscuit with my coffee for the morning and clean water in our small fridge to swallow our pills with. It was the smallest kitchen ever, but with everything needed and the biggest shower. It's the only place I want to sleep over and not just because it's so cheap, it's compact luxury, all that can help is a trash can in the bathroom. Thank you so much Minimalist for your wonderful place that we could have used.
