I enjoyed staying at this location as it was very quite and peaceful. I just wish I had a bathroom in my bedroom. But the breakfast was out of this world.

Isabel South Africa

Friendly, accommodating and professional. Beds and communal lounge areas are super comfortable. Spacious garden surrounds. Pets on the premises are friendly. Felt very safe and secure on the premises. Hassle free access to and from the premises.

We were really well looked after. Lovely family feel. Optional dinner and breakie were amazing - lovely home-cooked food. Charlene was a great host - very helpful with tips on all things South Africa. Honesty bar was fun - drinks on the terrace with their dog Ross 😊

Ernest & Charlene Coetzee
This property is situated next to the Sterkspruit river, with a view of the Longtom Pass Mountains. The house is at the end of a culdesac and when you stay here, you don't know that you are still in town.
Ernest & Charlene Coetzee started the guest house in January 2013. They have been in the tourism industry for more than 10 years and strive to give the best personal experience for each guest that stay over.
The guest house is surrounded with the Sterkspruit river. The house is in a cul-de-sac with only 2 neighbours. Across the river is municipality ground where cows are grazing and monkeys play in the tree. There are abundance of birds, frogs at night and even fireflies!
