- Coetzee (10/5): - Everything
- Diana Vieira (10/5): - Muito bem localizado, confortável e aconchegante.
- Stephanie (10/5): Instagramable haven - Absolutely beautiful, very comfortable with thoughtful decorative elements. Perfect for a family of 4. Wish they had a stove to prep additional meals to accompany the delicious braai.
- Ntokozo (8/5): -
- Iwan and Linda (10/5): - Highly recommended Guesthouse.
Beautiful interior.
Walking distance from exploring Dullstroom.
Very neat and tidy
Very safe neighbourhood. No washing machine and washing line
- Eugene (8/5): -
- Shireen (9/5): - Absolutely loved the décor and attention to detail in the unit. The cozy fireplace and incredibly comfortable bed made it even better. Great loft setup for the boys, and perfectly located close to the town center. Would definitely go again! All was superb.
- Anaïs (8/5): Nice stay except for the smell - Very cozy room, stylish.
The place is beautiful (inside and outside).
The body soap had run out but Lallie brought us one quickly. It smelled strongly of dampness.
It was rainy and the floor got flooded and was difficult to dry it up.
When it's cold, the heater is not enough.
Unstable Wifi.

- Brendon (8/5): -
- Llewellyn (8/5): - The walls/ rooms aren’t soundproof so heard our neighbours partying and laughing until late at night.
- Marizaan (10/5): We really enjoyed it, will definitely keep in mind for future trips. - Loaction was perfect
- Pinkie (10/5): -
- Johan (10/5): good -
- Maryke (9/5): Wonderful! We’ll definitely come again! - Beautiful decor, wonderful bathroom and beds. Perfect location
- Jackie (1/5): - Do not booked a stay at this guesthouse. The whole room smells like mold and the ceiling covered with black mold. Unbearable to stay or sleep in the room. The room was checked by caretaker before our check in yet she "did not smell anything bad or see all the toxic mold on the ceiling" Owner refused to refund a portion of they payment and suggested that we move accommodation which was not possible as we were at a wedding and could not pack up and check in at another place at 14h00 the next day. The owner was adamant she won't compensate us for the inconvenience and discomfort, not to mention that the owner advised us that the mold is "not that bad" the place is severely contaminated and peeling plaster outside shows a severe damp issue that is not a healthy environment to be in.
The smell forced us to sleep with open windows and door when it was cool temperatures outside.
The owner wanted to come and wipe the black mold from the ceiling, but that is just the surface, and can't understand that the whole ceiling is rotten and needs to be replaced.
Poor accommodation, the toilet and plumbing also noisy and every sound from neighbours can be heard.
Lack of empathy from owner has forced me to approach legal advise and also local municipality to inspect the black mold as it can cause serious health issues.
This guesthouse should be shut down till the mold has been treated and ceiling replaced.
Shocking attitude from owner. Refusing compensation for the absolutely horrendous stay. Do not booked a stay at this guesthouse.

Eventually the caretaker and owner ignored our messages and left us hanging until we checked out
Do not waste your money and risk inhaling black mold spores. Owner has no understanding and disrespects a persons complaints.
- Maripe (10/5): We enjoyed our birthday celebration , quite and peacefully - Well situated location and quite Good establishment
- Natalie (9/5): - Everything was very neat and tidy. Beautifully decorated space with everything we needed for a 3-day stay. The lock box access to the key is also great, means we can drive through after work on a Friday in the future as we dint have to check in at a specific time. Really awesome place 😊
- Mel (8/5): The hosts are amazing people. Very responsive and friendly. The place is stunning and clean. Very quiet, safe and peacef - Very clean property, well maintained. It is in a peaceful location yet close to all the amenities needed. I will definitely be coming back. The host was kind, helpful and overall service is amazing The only disadvantage was not having a stove 😅
- Phiwayinkhosi (10/5): Overall: perfect - The place was amazing…clean …loved everything about it Would have been nice if we had an iron.

- Ruan (4/5): Bad WiFi, noisy neighbours and mild bath water brings the ratings down. - The room and bathroom were very stylish. It was very clean. The bed is comfortable. The shower was hot enough. I was very excited to see a TV. I was excited to watch some rugby but there is no DSTV, but that is no issue, I can just connect the tv to the WiFi. I could not stream anything on the TV due to the weak wireless signal. We could only manage to connect to the WiFi extenders. I recommend visiting firmlinx.co.za and get a quote on a site assessment to install access points instead of extenders. My wife complained that the bath water is mild and does not tap hot enough. The neighbours can also be heard easily. Luckily we did not have too loud neighbours. If we had a different group then sleeping would have been hard.
- Frederik (6/5): - There was no running water on the evening I was there.
- Fien (9/5): -
- Itumeleng patney (10/5): Would recommend it to any one who wants to be with friends and family at Dullstroom - I loved everything about this place worth it and going to bring my family here was just amazing ,my cousins loved the place. Coming back soon…😊😊😊 The parking doesn’t have shelter thou
- Matshidiso (9/5): Felt like home away from home - Rest Guesthouse is not only beautiful but also neat, with great amenities that make for a comfortable stay.
- Thabile (10/5): -
- Smit (10/5): -
- Jacqui (8/5): It was enjoyable and we all wished to extend the stay - The house was beautiful and very clean. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the cutlery, plates and pots we needed to make our stay enjoyable That there was no swimming pool and kids playing facilities were not available
- Michelle (10/5): Heaven on earth - Wow! Everything was just amazing ! The bed and the pillows were like heaven, everything was spotless. The bathroom is very modern and had everything you needed, including a very nice big tub.
- Victoria (10/5): Parfait ! - Chambre très très bien et super bien décoré !! Le logement est à proximité des restaurants dans une ville très mignonne. Nous avons seulement fait un stop pour réduire notre temps de route mais nous ne regrettons pas notre choix de logement !
- Gavin (10/5): - Amazing property with fantastic finishes and amenities. Very recommended.
- Ofentse (8/5): The stay was awesome, tranquil and beautiful. - The place is very quiet, Beautiful, spacious and is a walking distance to the shops. You can also braai indoors at the allocated space and there us an iron at your disposal. You also get wood for the fireplace. In the Loft, there is no mop, no stove and only one pot.
- Shabangu (5/5): Cold shower brrrrrrr - Beautiful space, clean and modern. The Loft could have a bigger fridge to accommodate a full self catering especially for more than 2 people. The water was so cold from Sat to Sunday. We couldn't shower nicely with warm water and it was a chilly Sat evening after a long hike and all you need was a hot shower. Not sure if it's because we share the same geyser with all the other guest or what but that was not pleasant at all. Otherwise it's a good spot
- Hope (8/5): -
- Dumisani (10/5): A wonderful stay and would love to visit again - Location and safety
- Chantel (10/5): Wonderful, peacefull and relaxing weekend away - Lovely location, clean room, comfy bed and beautiful bathroom
- Beverley (10/5): Highly recommend! - The decor is STUNNING! Like in a magazine. We loved our stay.
- Thato (8/5): - - Decor and facilities were good
- Thankful for the braai area
- Benjamin (10/5): Fantastisch verblijf - Erg netjes, luxe, duidelijke instructies en centraal gelegen
- Kayla (10/5): Gorgeous holiday home! - The holiday home was so gorgeous and well located! It was well equipped with everything we could possibly need. Beautiful finishes, comfortable beds and couches, a big open plan kitchen, a fireplace plus a braai room! What a fantastic place to stay in when visiting Dullstroom. Would highly recommend to anyone!
- Véronique (10/5): - De passage à Dullstroom je vous recommande ce lieu tout confort.
- Simthandile (9/5): Superb -
- Xaba (6/5): Great location but not a comfortable stay at all - especially in winter! - Breakfast was not part of the package - we were in a self catering apartment. Our 3 nights stay was in the middle of winter and the area is called Emakhazeni, which signifies that it's very cold. Oh my, we froze to death, the bed had no electric blanket - and the room was freezing. The host had kindly left two hot water bottles on the bed and there was a small fan heater which really didn't make much of a difference. Moreover, we found the apartment very small for two adults, it's ideal for a business trip and not for leisure. Unfortunately the Wifi was also intermittent, which we communicated to the host who responded by sending us a notification of an internet connectivity outage in the area and never followed up the next day to check if there had been improvements. Overall, we enjoyed the beautiful town of Dullstroom, the local restaurants and the waffles!
- Megan (8/5): Very good - The room was filled with amenities. The TV had all streaming platforms on. White towels are always a happy surprise. The bathroom is absolutely stunning and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. With it being cold, the geyser struggled a but the one night, but hot water for the rest.
- Flaxman (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kriek (8/5): Very good - clean nothing
- Amanda (7/5): Good -
- Jacques (10/5): I had a great experience with this property on our trip to Dullstroom. - Everything was there as advertised. It was super clean and had an awesome stay. The staff was super friendly and great to deal with; I gave them a call the day before to ask some questions and they were very accommodating. The instructions from the staff was clear and had no problems on arrival and for the duration of our stay. Would highly recommend and would definitely return on our next trip to Dullstroom! I had no problems with the property at all.
- Ezett (9/5): Superb -
- Erika (10/5): Had a wonderful time, will definitely return - This property is well kept and exceeded our expectations! The kitchen is well equipped and the Braai room was a BONUS!
- Lisa (7/5): Cozy and comfortable bedroom. Stunning bathroom! - Self check-in was easy. The bed was very comfortable and the linen was great - lovely soft pillows and duvet! The bathroom was beautiful - huge bath and there was good hot water pressure in the shower. The tiny fan heater was not adequate for a very cold Dullstroom night (-1 degrees in the morning!). An oil panel heater would have been more effective. There was no wine corkscrew wine... an essential item in any self-catering unit ;-)
- Groenewald (10/5): Exceptional Rest Guesthouse - Everything was fresh, tastefull and very special. N/A
- Denzil (10/5): Exceptional - Close to town - location Nothing
- Tebatso (7/5): Good - It was cold and could've used with extra blankets
- Pamela (8/5): A beautiful stay but beware the Loft is not 2 bedrooms - The home was very beautiful with lots of thought into extra touches. The enclosed braai area was perfect for a group of friends and the fireplace made for a cozy lounge. The kitchen was well equipped and everything that we could need was there. The Loft is advertised as "two separate bedrooms". This is absolutely not the case. The second "bedroom" is on a platform above the first. So its fine for a couple with two kids. But not for two couples.. The second couple needs to walk past the bed of the first to get to the stairs and also past the bed to go to the bathroom. There's no privacy. So we ended up having to find another room in Dullstroom on a Friday evening.
- Msibi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nicci (10/5): Exceptional -
- Brand (9/5): Cosy, well appointed and close to the main attractions - The room is beautifully appointed, with a super comfortable bed and a modern, spacious bathroom. The location is superb, just a short walk down the road to the local cosy pub, and a bit further to the main road. The wifi was very unstable and made it virtually impossible to enjoy any streaming service on the TV. The bathroom barn door was completely stuck and made it very difficult to close the door, as pulling it unhinged the door. The closet provided was very small, and we battled to fit our clothes in it for a weekend stay.
- Sthobile (9/5): Superb - It's gorgeous , I'd def come back! 🥰🥰 Please add extra blankets and softer pillows
- Poppy (8/5): Very good - Cosy and intimate
- Kidd (8/5): Very good -
- Conrad (9/5): Superb -
- Liezl (9/5): Superb -
- Michaela (10/5): Absolutely perfect - Wow! What an amazing stay!! The accommodation was absolutely stunning and the beds were so comfortable. It had everything we needed and more. We loved the decor and it was so central. We will definitely be back.
- Jason (10/5): Exceptional -
- Moipone (7/5): Cozy little room. - Location was great and host was helpful with other extra’s we needed.
- Gavin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chloé (10/5): Well appointed, comfortable setup with everything you need to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Would highly rec - The TV didn’t seem to connect properly? Not sure if it was just me not being able to figure that out?
- Adri (8/5): Pragtige plek, was perfek vir ons familie byeenkoms. -
- H (7/5): Good -
- Matthew (7/5): Good - Lovely accommodation with beautiful decor, clean and tidy inside. There seems to be a bit of a damp issue inside the bathroom and under the kitchen sink which leaves a bit of a moldy smell. The wifi passowrd I think was different and we were unable to access... not a big deal though. We weren't able to reach the hosts so on arrival we stood around a bit trying to figure out which unit we were in. Also no kitchen dustbin... but all small things and easily fixable :)
- Robert (5/5): Passable -
- Carol (8/5): pleasant and comfortable - This was self catering We really found the lighting on either side of the bed inadequate for reading....
- Matshidiso (9/5): Convenient Location and Comfortable Stay - The guesthouse is centrally located, making everything easily accessible.
. Adding a few twin plugs would be helpful, as opposed to guests having to go out and buy some. Lastly, the shower drain might need unclogging, as using both shower heads caused the water to take quite some time to drain.
- Jacques (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mthenjana (9/5): Superb -
- Jacques (10/5): Exceptional - Very comfortable room and facilities N/a
- Anja (10/5): Wonderful Stay! - We had an amazing experience staying here! The room was spotlessly clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated, making it feel like a home away from home. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the amenities provided were thoughtful and exceeded our expectations. The location was perfect—close to everything we needed yet quiet enough for a peaceful night’s sleep.
We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable getaway!
- Lize-marie (9/5): Superb -
- Du (9/5): Beautiful, cozy unit with loads of privacy and perfectly located. - The unit we stayed in at Rest Guesthouse was a private room with it's own bathroom. The bathroom included a luxury bath as well as a big open shower. It had a kitchen with a kettle, cutlery, plates, glasses and a mini bar fridge. The unit also had a tv and a cupboard. The beds where the absolute most comfortable beds I have ever slept on and the bedding was of high quality and super soft. The unit had a very luxury and modern feel to it. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that the extractor fan in the bathroom didn't really do anything to the steam inside the shower, I don't think it's working properly as our bathroom was full of steam even if we left the windows open for long periods of time.
- Akira (9/5): Superb -
- Georgia (10/5): Great! - The open shower in the private unit doesn’t drain properly. Every time I showered, the entire bathroom was completely flooded -
I used all the extra towels provided to soak up enough water so that I could get to/from the toilet, otherwise my sneakers would’ve been sopping.
- Makwetla (8/5): Very good -
- Luanne (8/5): Very good - Needs a full length mirror in the bathroom 😁👌
- Mnisi (10/5): Fantastic stay - Everything, the rooms are furnished with modern style furniture Nothing
- Lesedi (9/5): Prefect - It was very clean and we felt safe. It is closer to the main road attractions
