Comfortable and welcoming by

My wife and I spent Christmas 2012 here and they looked after us really well. Our room was peaceful and attractive, and the spacious lounge and kitchen were perfect for relaxing between visits to ouma at the old people's home. Dinner was a feast and the goodies for breakfast were appreciated. Thanks!

Nice place by

Nice people, good place to stay.

Charlie's Place by

The place was neat, tidy and clean. For a overnight stay it was ok. On the negative side, the first night there was no rooibostee tea or milk.  That was rectified the next day. The bed lamp did not work. Although the place was for 4 people (we were only 2) there was only 3 coffee mugs, 2 unmatched glasses, and the cutlery was also not sufficient. The towel hooks in the bathroom kept on falling off and there weas no place to put your soap and shampoo in the shower. The tap on the shower came off and the shower head could not be adjusted 

Mature couple by

Very clean and comfortable. Good sized room and bathroom with separate shower. Quiet and peaceful. Good value for money.

A failure by

The establishment's landline phone does not work and the cell number listed is never answered. It is therefore cannot be contacted.
