"Pitstop Stopover"

8.0

An interesting and quirky rest place in Britstown to break the long Cape Town to Johannesburg drive. Appreciated the self-check-in and out arrangements. Enjoyed the budget-friendly, uniquely authentic "jail experience"! Was a fun stopover.

No aircon or heater (unless we weren't looking properly), but bedding was warm and comfy during our winter pitstop!

"Great, clean overnight accommodation in Britstown"

10.0

The three bedroom cottage suited our needs (small group). The house had all the basic necessities, kitchen, microwave etc. and a nice outside braai area. The grounds were immaculate and the staff super friendly and helpful.

"Okay except for the hair and the ghost which you can do nothing about"

4.0

You can make sure that there is no hair from previous people in the basin, in the zink and in the shower.

What an experience it really felt like sleeping in a jail. The detail is exceptional. The electric blanket was a bonus ( it would have been nice if it was a full blanket)

We booked a room with an aircon but there wasn't one in the room. The lighting is very bad we had a wedding and it was a mission to do makeup.
