    I recently had a delightful stay at a charming hotel located just off the R717 freeway. The value for money was impressive, with very competitive rates that included basic amenities such as a shower, fridge, and kettle in the comfortable and airy rooms. What stood out to me was the attention to detail - the hosts even provided coffee, creamer, and sugar in the room. The friendly staff went above and beyond, offering recommendations for routes and places of interest. It was evident that they genuinely cared about ensuring a pleasant experience for their guests.

    All aspects of my stay at this hotel were exceptional.

    This hotel offers exceptional value for money, with clean and tidy rooms that are well-maintained. The attention to detail is evident with amenities such as electric under blankets on the beds for cold nights and a small kitchenette with a microwave and fridge. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the owners go out of their way to make guests feel welcome. Additionally, the hotel's location close to the R717 freeway makes it easily accessible for travelers.

    No complaints - this hotel is all about friendliness and service.

    We had a great time during our New Year's stay. We enjoyed the fact that our room was well-equipped and cozy, with a fridge and kettle for our use. The hosts were also very friendly and gave us some great recommendations for things to do in the area. We also loved the competitive pricing, which made our stay even better.

    One thing we did not like was that the facilities were quite basic and not suitable for those who enjoy self-catering. We also found that the location was a bit remote, which made for a long drive to get there.

    We had a wonderful stay with exceptional value for money. The hosts were friendly and helpful, and the room was spacious and comfortable with a separate bathroom. We enjoyed the small microwave and bar fridge in the room, as well as the lovely borehole-water shallow swimming pool, tables, and chairs with cool vines and a swing. The hotel facilities were perfect for relaxation, and the staff was excellent.

    Nothing, it is perfect.

    This guesthouse is conveniently located close to the freeway, making it the perfect place to take a break during a long drive. the staff is friendly and accommodating, and the rooms are clean and spacious. the swimming pool is a great place to cool off on hot days.

    There were a few issues with the bathroom amenities, which could be improved.

    The welcoming staff made us feel at home and gave us great advice on where to go and what to do. the spacious and clean rooms were equipped with a fan that kept us cool during the night. the quiet atmosphere of the place allowed us to have a good night's sleep without any disturbances.

    Although the location was beautiful and secluded, the long drive to get there was a bit stressful. the lack of a TV made it difficult to relax in the evening.

    I had an excellent stay at this hidden gem. the value for money was exceptional, making it a budget-friendly option. Secondly, the attention to detail was impressive; from the well-maintained rooms with comfortable beds to the small but thoughtful amenities like electric under blankets, microwave, and fridge. Finally, the friendly and helpful staff added a personal touch to my experience, making me feel welcomed and taken care of. Plus, the location close to the R717 freeway was convenient for exploring the surrounding area.

    Nothing to mention, everything was splendid.
