Guest Reviews

• pattyn johan (9/5): Dit zullen we lang herinneren - Ondanks er geen elektriciteit was door tornado legden eigenaars Sean en zijn vriendin ons echt in de watten om ons geen ongemak te bezorgen.Een dikke merci Johan,Robbe en Sabine. Niets
• Alain (9/5): - L'accueil très chaleureux et attentif. Le Petit déjeuner. Ras.
• Jose Luis (9/5): Repetiría!!😊 - Los propietarios y sus dos gatos 😊 Yo que soy delicado con los ruidos, algún vehículo se escuchaba desde la habitación. Pero nada del otro mundo 😊
• Elmie (9/5): Clean, cosy place to stay for a weekend or a few days. Value for money and the staff is amazing. - Don't get put off by the exterior! This place is awesome! It is old, but super clean , staff are super friendly and so accommodating. Nothing
• Fernanda (8/5): Estadia agradável e acolhedora, com ótimo atendimento. - Sean, o proprietário, é extremamente atencioso e faz a diferença na experiência. As instalações têm um estilo rústico, simples e muito agradável, com um ambiente acolhedor. O café da manhã também é gostoso e bem preparado. O tamanho da cama deixou a desejar. Achamos pequena para um casal, especialmente para quem é mais alto ou prefere mais espaço.
• Busisiwe (10/5): - Friendly Host
• Philippe (10/5): - Très bon accueil, excellent repas au resto. Toujours prêts à nous aider. N
• gilbert (10/5): -
• Cherian (7/5): - Shaun and staff are friendly and accommodating. Central point on the Panaroma route. The one room toilet took very long to fill up and was an inconvenience
• SUI (9/5): - We had a really nice stay here - Felda and Sean are always helpful and attentive to the our needs, THANK YOU for making us feel at home! we also love the other three cute fluffy hosts in the house so much. As any other cottage, the room is not very soundproof. So we guests should also be mindful that we don't make noise at late night.
• Gioia (10/5): Cortesia fatta persona - Tutto Niente
• Sylvie (9/5): - Très bon accueil, restaurant sur place,chambre confortable ,très bon petit déjeuner, parking sécurisé
• Remi (9/5): Très bien - Très bon accueil, les hôtes sont très agréables et aux petits soins ! La chambre était spacieuse et confortable !
• Alain (7/5): -
• david (9/5): - Je recommande, accueil super, pour nous qui ne parlons pas très bien Anglais, les hôtes ont été très à l'écoute, la chambre est sympathique et le dîner et le petit déjeuner très bon. . Merci pour tout .
• Mary-Anne (10/5): Rustic, clean, and comfortable stay with excellent staff and a very well-run lodge. - Really enjoyed my stay here. The staff were fantastic — friendly, helpful, and made everything easy. Shaun, the owner, clearly knows what he’s doing and runs a great operation. The place has a rustic feel, but it’s clean, comfortable, and very welcoming. It reminded me a lot of Ponte Malongane dive camp — relaxed, unpretentious, and exactly what you need after a long day. Nothing to note.
• Annemarie (9/5): We will stay there again. - The dinner (and milkshake) was exceptionally good. We also appreciated the effort to welcome our little dog with her own bed and bowl in the room. The room door opening into the bar-area can be a bit strange if privacy is very important to you, but it was not noisy. All visitors were gone by around 21:00 and we had a good night's sleep.
• Maaike (10/5): -
• Michael (10/5): Quirky and brilliant. - A perfect stay. The Old Post Office has a real history to it, is quirky with lots to love, but also has a couple of unexpected twists that need adjusting to. The room was large and comfortable and looked out onto a covered patio area, which itself looked onto a large lawn with several ducks living on it. The hosts couldn't have been friendlier and more obliging. Sean served up a huge delicious breakfast every morning (included in the cost), and we ended up eating there every evening as well because the food was so good, as was the atmosphere. All in all, this was one of the best accommodations weve had and will definatley stay there again next time we visit S Africa.
• Maaike (10/5): - Zeer gastvrije eigenaresse, partner en personeel. Alles duidelijk met liefde gemaakt en verzorgd.
• Hans (8/5): Great! - Cosy room, clean, very nice hosts. The bathroom could use some TLC, but was comfy as it was.
• Emilie (8/5): - Petit hôtel familial. Bon restaurant .
• Karin (8/5): Nette, einfache, günstige Unterkunft - Sehr freundliche und bemühte Besitzer. Es ist zwar einfach, aber sauber und für Kinder durch die Tiere abwechslungsreich. Abends ist nettes zusammensetzen gut möglich. Der Preis ist okay, Zimmer für 3 Personen möglich. Frühstück war gut. Wer einen leichten Schlaf hat fühlt sich vielleicht durch die Enten gestört und ab ca. 6.30 Autoverkehr. Aber wo ist es wirklich leise? Dadurch konnten wir früh zu unserer Wanderung aufbrechen.
• Ann (8/5): Het is er fantastisch als je kan omgaan met hun manier van denken, en dus niet vooraf je dag invult - Het eten Bij aankomst was er geen elektriciteit, ontbijt kon niet op de gevraagde tijdstip .
• Johannes Franciscus Jozef (7/5): - Hartelijke, vriendelijke gastheer. Geen koelkast op kamer.
• Susanne (9/5): - Der Empfang der Gastgeber war sehr herzlich. Preis-Leistung ist super. Die Unterkunft ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Es war sauber. Es gibt Tiere (Katzen, Enten, Hund). Uns hat es nicht gestört. Bett war bequem. Es gab ein Wasserversorgungs-problem, dafür konnte aber der Host nichts.
• Caroline (7/5): Bien, je recommanderai. - L’emplacement, l’accueil et le prix. Pas de porte pour les toilettes.
• Quentin (9/5): -
• miriam.rg (9/5): Todo perfecto - Los trabajadores del alojamiento fueron muy amables en todo momento. Habitación limpia y cómoda, con todo lo necesario. Nada negativo a comentar! Recomendaría este alojamiento si tienes que dormir en Graskop :)
• Nyiko (9/5): - Lovely place, comfortable stay and absolutely wonderful hosts.
• Salvador (10/5): Un muy buen lugar para hospedarte - El.lugar es muu agradable, y tiene un encanto especial. Todo el personal fue encantador con nosotros y cuidaron hasta el ultimo detalle. La comida tambien muy buena Nos sentimos muy cuidados, y fueron tan amables que incluso nos dieron una cena deliciosa a pesar de que llegamos 1 hora despues de que cerraran la cocina. Muy recomendable!!!
• Tsholofelo Lydia (8/5): Marvelous Stay @ Canimambo - The staffs attitude was extremely good, they knew how to talk with people, They made you feel at home. Actually, we were at home. They knew how to apologize when there was a need to. I mostly liked the owners themselves, Mr. Sean, your hospitality is highly appreciated, and your cooking skills are woow. The facility is nice and clean, cleaners take good care of our stuff, and the rooms are neatly cleaned and decorated every day. As for breakfast, it was freshly prepared 30 minutes while we were busy indulging ourselves with sine cereals. The foods are exquisite their chicken is nicely grilled and is very juicy.
• Magezi Elias (3/5): - Sharing a room with my teenage daughter!
• Abdul Rahim (9/5): - Warm welcome by Felda and Shaun. And area location is central for most scenic places to visit
• Nonkululeko (9/5): - The hosts were really awesome and very friendly.Our room was clean and Frida and Sean are really kind.
• Jaun-pere (10/5): -
• Alex (10/5): - It was a truly unforgettable stay. The owner is exceptionally warm and welcoming, making us feel completely at home. The house is beautiful, and the breakfast is simply one of the best I’ve ever had. When I accidentally scraped the car on arrival, they went out of their way to have it perfectly fixed — a gesture that genuinely touched me. This is a place I will deeply miss.
• Mathilde (10/5): -
• Jennifer (10/5): Loved it! Highly recommend - -great location -so cute -comfy room - nice porch area -owners were absolutely lovely -restaurant inside and next door to a great local quick eatery (halal) Overall, it was a great stay and I wished we could have stayed longer. Bathroom “door” is a curtain.
• van der Schyff (6/5): -
• Zane (8/5): - The accommodation was very easy to find and it as great that they are also a working restaurant, whenever we didn't feel like going out for food we could order something from the kitchen. The owners are also very helpful, friendly and offered a lot of information about the area and what we could do with our spare time.
• Akhtar (10/5): Great service. Very helpful and accommodating staff. Great people - Great location, Very Comfortable place. Must visit. Nothing
• Keshni (8/5): -
• Tony (8/5): -
• r (8/5): -
• Jean-Luc Delangh (10/5): - Outre l'endroit idéalement situé pour visiter les différents sites naturels de la région, nous avons beaucoup apprécié la gentillesse des propriétaires, sympathiques et attentifs à satisfaire les demandes de ses clients.
• Mafa (6/5): - They allowed their dog and cat to sleep on the couch
• Isaventure (8/5): Parfait pour une escale à Graskop ! - Une pause entre Johannesburg et Kruger Park, grandes chambres tranquilles avec sdb individuelle. Personnel accueillant avec qui discuter et qui gère aussi le restaurant en soirée ou au matin. Disponibles pour donner les meilleures informations aux touristes
• Wolf-Rüdiger (8/5): - Die Inhaber sehr nett und ausgesprochen hilfsbereit. Frühstück und das Abendessen im Haus war sehr lecker. Auch wegen der lieben Haustiere Katze sowie Hunde, Schildkröte und Gänse haben wir den Aufenthalt dort sehr genossen. Wir hatten nichts zu bemängeln.
• paul (8/5): - Très bon petit déjeuner, copieux. Le patron est très gentil et d’une grande disponibilité.
• Mpendulo (9/5): -
• Tebogo (8/5): - Breakfast and treatment Pets
• Johan Mthunzi (7/5): - Quite place good for 2 people outing Everything awesome
• andrewjameshoward (8/5): - The manager has been a chef for many years. Eat in the restaurant. You won't regret it.
• LAVIN (10/5): - Hosts kind and friendly very clean and comfortable Meals well prepared and fresh don't be alarmed with the outside
• Jan (8/5): - Very friendly family and good location in town. Restaurants at walking distance, beside the restaurant at the Inn.
• Evi (9/5): - Canimambo liegt recht zentral in Graskop. Man kann von der schönen Terrasse des Restaurants dem Treiben zusehen und sich am Anblick der Gänse im Garten erfreuen. Das Zimmer hatte alles, was man braucht. Die Betten waren sehr bequem. Der Gastgeber war sehr aufmerksam, hilfsbereit und gab uns gute Tipps. Die zentrale Lage bringt auch etwas Verkehrslärm vor allem am Morgen mit sich.
• Rob (9/5): Supervriendelijke eigenaren , prima locatie - Eigenaren supervriendelijk, eten heel goed, leuke eigenzinnige aankkeding
• Wim (7/5): Basic hotelletje met beperkte faciliteiten, prima ontbijt en goede prijs-kwaliteitverhouding. - Klein hotel met 3 basic kamers. Zeker gezien de gorde prijs-kwaliteitverhouding voldoende faciliteiten. Prima ontbijt van een eigenaar die erg zijn best deed om het om er een geslaagd verblijf van te maken.
• Gwenaëlle (10/5): Étape fort sympathique à Graskop - L’ancien relais de poste présente le charme de l’ancien avec quelques notes de décoration moderne et soignée. Le personnel était aux petits soins avec nous tout en restant très discret. Le propriétaire qui est aussi le chef du restaurant prépare des plats frais et raffinés. Nous sommes arrivés sous une pluie battante et dans la fraîcheur des nuages, nous avons bien apprécié la chaleur de la cheminée. Rien
• Edward (9/5): Prima voor een overnachting - Vriendelijkheid personeel ( de man met de fiets-motor was erg hulpvaardig!) De koffiezetterop de kamer werkte niet goed
• Yvonne (7/5): - Preis Leistungsverhältnis super. Besitzer und Personal waren sehr nett und das Essen war gut. Alles ist lustig eingerichtet und sauber. Strasse am frühen morgen etwas laut.
• Rob (8/5): - Het personeel was ontzettend vriendelijk en stond altijd voor je klaar. Er veel niets tegen!
• Cornelis (10/5): Nice comfy rooms with great breakfast - We had a very pleasant stay with a great breakfast, made by our very nice and outgoing host. We loved the richy filled omelette. And we loved the company of the really gentle and sweet cat! Nothing
• Óscar (10/5): -
• didier (10/5): Très bonne combinaison du restaurant et de sa guesthouse conviviale - Accueil des plus chaleureux, Sean et sa maman sont vraiment très sympathiques . L’hébergement est confortable avec un abri très agréable pour échanger face au jardin. Excellent restaurant avec des accents de Mozambique pays sur lequel nos hôtes sont intarissables.
• Danyèle (7/5): Pas terrible en fait car avons eu l’impression d’être seuls dans l’établissement, et temps pourri donc tristounet d’auta - La gentillesse du personnel Le petit déjeuner Le Charme de l’ambiance/déco originale Le bon rapport qualité /prix La chambre était mal placée juste derrière le resto ( mais temps pourri donc n’avons pas été gênés le restaurant était vide et fermé à 20h30) En bord de route où nous avons bien entendu les voitures le matin La salle de bain vétuste qui avait besoin d’un bon rafraîchissement
• BRONWEN (10/5): - Unfortunately, we were double-booked, but the team at Canimambo let us know at least a week in advance and booked alternative accommodation for us. The alternative accommodation was clean, comfortable and absolutely great. We had breakfast at Canimambo made by Sean and it was delicious, accompanied by great conversation.
• Raymond (10/5): - La chambre spacieuse et claire. Le petit déjeuner varié et copieux, et surtout la gentillesse et la disponibilité des propriétaires. Le restaurant sur place, vous évite de prendre votre voiture dans graskop. Le restaurant sert de multiples plats préparés par le patron, cuisinier du métier. Allez y c'est une tres bonne adresse. Rien
• Alexander (10/5): - The privacy in our room and definitely the breakfast. Nothing, it was all good.
• Gilles (8/5): - Chambre confortable Personnel très accueillant Très bon restaurant sur place Cadre champêtre et calme Possibilité de stationner la voiture Bon point de départ pour le canyon Isolation phonique inexistante : on entend tout ce qui se passe dans la chambre voisine
• Andreas (9/5): - Sehr gutes, frisch zubereitetes Frühstück
• Melisha (8/5): - Sean is a fantastic host. Goes the extra mile exceeding ones expectations. He makea a delicious rump steak with a personal touch of home grown herbs and edibles. Comfortable and clean.
• Iris (9/5): -
• Ostafe (10/5): Un loc perfect sa iti incarci bateriile - Locatie, si personal super primitor -
• Debora (10/5): Uma das melhores estadias que já tive. Nunca fui tão bem recepcionada quanto neste lugar. Lugar limpo e muito bem organi - Atenção dos funcionários e conforto.
• Carol (9/5): -
• Isabel (10/5): - We spent two nights there to do the Panorama Route. Sean is a gem. He was super helpful at all times. Great breakfast; he even made us a duck egg omelet from the garden so we could try it. Carla, Sean’s mother, is the cook at their restaurant, so the atmosphere is very homely and welcoming. Excellent value for money, highly recommended.
• Martha (10/5): Worderful - We had a great time there. We arrived a bit later in the night and they make everything to accommodate us. Sean was really nice and made everything to make us comfortable. Breakfast was nice. Room is big with all amenities that anyone needs. Nothing

Gros point en plus pour le restaurant de l’établissement où nous nous sommes régalés! Merci à toute l’équipe 🫶🏼 Si vous comptez faire la grasse matinée, les rideaux laissent passer la lumière, personnellement on se levait tôt donc pas dérangeant 🤷🏻‍♀️
• Siyabonga (9/5): Superb - The breakfast was excellent. The staff and owners were welcoming. The establishment is clean, minor improvements to be made. Great experience
• Jan (10/5): Perfect short stay in Graskop - Friendly staff, cozy clean room with very comfortable beds. It has a small nice restaurant which serves very good food at reasonable prices. The warm Breakfast was fantastic, one of the best I've ever had in a guesthouse. Highly recommended.
