Carolin Germany

Great breakfast and special care for Comrades runners.

Gizelle South Africa

I visited Cowey’s Corner with my friend as a stop off before heading up north. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived to the safe accommodation with a beautiful room and spacious room with a stunning bathroom. We did ask for a twin room and we were given a double, however, Joan, one of the owners, was quick to help us out and rectify the problem. The staff are so friendly and Joan helped us out a huge amount. Sadly we had to leave early so didn’t get breakfast but Joan allowed us to help ourselves in the morning, however, the breakfast options were vast. There is a lovely outside seating area where we sat and enjoyed one of the beers in the fridge for which you give some money into the honesty box. What a great stay!

Robbie United Kingdom

Extremely cozy rooms. Outside also well outfitted with chairs. Rooms clean and warm.

Wynand South Africa

The room I was allocated to was very cosy and clean. I loved it. Ethel was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was nice.
