The location was very good. We booked a room with two single beds but because there were a few single men they gave us the honeymoon suite. It was a nice switch but the single men were very loud till deep in the night and that was next to our room. The walls must be very thin because we could hear eveything they said. Everything was very clean and comfortable.

Jannie South Africa

Very beautiful, clean and quiet. Efficent service delivery. Was informed every step of the way about the booking, parking, key process etc. It is was extremely clean and well set up.

Hayley South Africa

Very comfortable stay; tastefully appointed room; sparkling clean; extremely well equipped; shower area so spacious; centrally located in town; within walking distance to nice restaurants. I arrived during phase 4 load shedding; management did communicate all necessary info re this situation. Booking in and out was extremely easy and painless. Very good value for a solo traveller! I will definitely book again!

Claassen South Africa

The hostess, Loraine was just delightful, and went above and beyond to make sure that we we're comfortable and lacking in nothing. Nothing was too much to ask and we left well rested and happy. The rooms were clean, safe and very comfortable. Loraine informed us about the local attractions and amenities. She suggested that we view the sunset from the Valley of Desolation. What a privilege and awesome event that was. Godwilling, we will be back again someday and make our stay longer than just one night's pitstop.

Belinda South Africa

Quiet road, very safe, 3 blocks back from the main street and close to all amenities. Beautiful property, spacious and clean including lots of little extra not found in many other similar accommodations. We walked the streets happily and with interest.

Aubrey United Kingdom

Efficient, clean, comfortable and very accommodating

Andries South Africa

Everything…communication was excellent between the establishment and us. Check in was a breeze. The rooms were so clean and provided all the home comforts. The beds were comfortable with crisp linen. The host had suggestions for us, including using their braai facilities which are available, for sourcing dinner in town. All in all, a gem in Graaff-Reinet.We will stay here again when ever we pass this way again.

Wendy South Africa

Was exactly like the pictures. Neat and tidy rooms with modern comfortable finishes. We were well received, check in was easy and we had a great stay. There was more than enough yard for our pup to play in as well!

Carmen South Africa

Everything from arrival to departure, loraine was was right on top of her game. Looking forward to going back late this year / early next year.

Mark South Africa

safe, clean, tidy and really enjoyed the braai area.

  • Hi, please advise, is this shared accommodation, ie. entrance, etc ? As on the booking we are trying to confirm, it states 3 beds, and only 1 room available, am a bit confused with this, as we require private accommodation.
    Good morning, all 7 of our units have completely separate entrances to units with each own kitchenette and en-suite bathroom. All our unit sleep 2 guests (King or twin beds) unless arranged for extra guests. Hope this answer your question.
