The accommodation was perfect for our one-night stay before heading to Tugela Falls. The host was very friendly and explained everything to us, including the arrangements for breakfast and dinner. The food was excellent, and we would definitely recommend it. The room was spacious and included tea and coffee-making facilities. There was also plenty of parking available.

“An absolute pleasant stay. Clean, homely and friendly. Will definitely re-visit!”
The breakfast is amazing. Not one bite left on the plate from our group. Good hearty food! A very friendly host, who pops in at meal times. The location is on route, and easily accessible.

“We spend 3 nights and loved the scenery and food. It is a special place.”
Perfectly located for all we did. Boating at Sterkfontein and cycling in the area. The food was excellent and Paul was a great host.

“Beware: Rooms have no shower!”
I was given a room without shower even though it said on booking.com the room would have a private walk-in shower - all it had was a bathtub without showerhead. All you could take was a bath. How useless is that? Never seen something like that in a hotel before... When I asked for a workaround (change of room or possibility to take a shower in another room), the owner wasn't able to provide any solution. When I pointed out that the room didn't match the online description and that I wished to cancel the booking, he didn't show any understanding and refused to give me a refund (or a discount). Ended up driving to another hotel way after dark. Can't recommend staying at this place.

“GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY!!!”
Everything here exudes peace and tranquility! Perfect spot to get away from the hustle and bustle, escape from reality and unwind. Real VALUE for MONEY. From friendly and accommodating staff to helpful and very accommodating host Paul. Really enjoyed my stay here, more like a home away from home and would definitely do it again! You are literally on the border of The Free State and close to the heart of the Drakensburg.
