It had everything you need for a good stay. Rusks, coffee and milk were supplied which was a nice touch. It was in a very good location, walking distance to many restaurants.

Perfect location for an overnight stopover. The room was neat and clean with all the necessities expected. Walking distance from a number of eateries. The center of Graaf Reinet pleasantly surprised us as a clean and well-kept little dorpie.
