We had a lovely one-night stay at this guest house, just a short drive up a hill from the main street (likely would be too far to walk this at night). Our room had beautiful mountain views, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was cooked on order in the cozy open plan kitchen lounge area and was delicious! Highly recommend staying here, great value!

Comfortable, clean and nice place to stay
We arranged an early check in and the guest house were very helpful and informative. Rooms were comfortable and clean. We encountered load shedding (power cuts) while we were there but we had been prepared so could still enter the property etc without issue. Overall a lovely place to stay within 15 minute walk from the centre of town.

Bästa stället *****
Fantastisk mysigt ställe med väldigt trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Rent och fräscht överallt, rummen var superfina. Frukosten var superb. Skönt häng vid poolen efter en tur på vingårdarna. Ligger tyst och avskilt ca 10min promenad från centrum. Tryggt och säkert. Hit vill vi tillbaka till. Rekommendera varmt!
