Guest Reviews

Ayesha (9/5): Perfect Layover Location When Working - Quaint, neat and tidy, our staff loved the location
Kerry (6/5): Staff are delightful but this was not a repeatable experience - Location for an overnight stay was good, the bed was comfortable The facilities are very old…the air conditioner was very noisy and tired. The shower was weak and either very hot or cold, hard to adjust. The meals we ordered (lamb shank and lamb chops) were very dry and overcooked.
Julia Stone (10/5): Very clean and very nice stay. Felt very safe on the property. Thank you again! - Very secure property.
Jaap (10/5): A Home from Home. - Was upgraded to French Karoo on arrival. Beautiful rooms. Very caring hosts. A gem in the Karoo and a real home from home. Try the Four Sheeps Restaurant for dinner. Best lamb shank ever!!
Yvette (7/5): -
Chereen (10/5): -
Andre (9/5): -
Young (9/5): Would definitely visit again, our unit had everything we needed for our overnight stay - Very convenient and lovely guest house!
Geldenhuys (9/5): -
Keith (3/5): - The sleeping area was fine. The bed was comfortable and the bedside lamps etc worked well. There is a microwave and plates etc, but no table and one uncomfortable upright chair. So how does one eat? The room is small, but you could still fit a small table and 2 chairs in it. That would make all the difference between a functional room, and a non-functional one from an eating point of view. Or even a comfort point of view.
Dean (10/5): - View out over the Karoo and quiet courtyard atmosphere
Diseko (10/5): - Comfortable large bed, and very spacious room. The entrance goes through about 150m of gravel road
John (9/5): Enjoyable and will be back. - Peaceful. Clean. Well equipped. Professional and friendly staff. N/A
Meg (8/5): - Very comfortable, beautiful setting and building. No wine glasses
Nicolaas (10/5): Cannot wait to come back! - Historical Herbert Baker house. Can’t say there was anything not to like!
Richard (9/5): - Freundlicher Empfang, schönes Zimmer und gutes Frühstück. Die Lage Ausserhalb Beaufort West ist ruhig und schön.
Louise (10/5): Oasis, wonderful rest place after long day on road! - Everything!
Peter (10/5): -
Swanepoel (8/5): Very relaxing - Very nice I expected more of the braaipack for the evening braai
Gail (9/5): -
Thomas (10/5): A peaceful, well‑run guest house with great service and a beautiful setting - Absolutely beautiful guest house. The units are spacious, comfortable, and set within a lovely garden filled with plenty of seating areas. They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner on request, and there are even braai facilities available. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I was there for business, but I would gladly book it again for a holiday. There wasn’t anything I genuinely disliked. If I had to mention something, it would be the WiFi voucher system — you need a new voucher each day, and one per device, as each voucher is valid for 17 hours.
Gary (10/5): perfect stop over - great location. easy in and out nothing
Jansen van Rensburg (9/5): - We were late and asked to keep our food...I asked for the chops (which was nice) but they can really do better to presentation. It was a "blob" of mash and was not sure what kind of pumpkin it was.
Etienne and Susan (10/5): - Lovely room! Beautiful gardens! I'm not a fan of rules everywhere... I suppose some people need to be reminded of etiquette.
Geoff (7/5): -
Nico (10/5): Ckean and friendly staff, the room even had a nice fragrance. - Location and layout
Denis (10/5): -
George (9/5): -
Brett (10/5): -
Kevern (9/5): Will definitely be stopping there again. - It’s a really welcome and relaxing stop after the long hot drive through the Karoo. An oasis in the desert. Great sitting on the deck watching the sunset. Rooms were very comfortable. It was all good.
Jager (6/5): Rommelig klein. Ik kon de vele overtollige dekens, lakens en kussens alleen op de grond kwijt - het parkeren Ik heb mij niet warm kunnen douchen. Wijn was er te koop, maar wij hebben de wijnglazen bij de supermarkt moeten kopen. Ik heb mijn vrouw meegenomen, maar ze had geen stoel.

Gwenda (10/5): -
Roy (10/5): -
Anthonie (8/5): -
Ermin (10/5): - Very quiet and and away from the N1 so you don't hear the trucks breaking Limited wifi
Nxusani (8/5): Would definitely recommend and return - Great location, comfortable room, good meal. N/A
Marinda (5/5): -
Graeme (7/5): - We've always like the location of Cape Karoo and French Karoo guest-houses. The rooms are a little run down and appear to require some maintenance - both inside and out. The basin in the bathroom is tired and needs refurbishing or replacing. In a water scarce region, the hot water takes forever to arrive, wasting a lot of water in the process. The room rate is therefore not really appropriate.
Gary (10/5): - Beautiful location on edge of Karoo . Stunning buildings Some more choice for breakfast would be better
Gerrit (8/5): Great rooms, great location and very neat and comfortable. - N/a Dinner to be arranged at shorter notice and not only by 12 daily. Soap in batroom and not only lotions and gel. Still water bottle in room.
Rian (10/5): -
Selma (10/5): -
Arthur (10/5): Great locati0n, confortable room and friendly staff - Location and comfort
Crause (9/5): -
Iris (10/5): - Cleanest, neatest, most comfortable and well equipped most beautiful guesthouse there is in the Karoo
Judith (10/5): -
Paulo (8/5): -
Elme (7/5): Comfortable & neat room. - The room was comfortable and neat. Loved the large T.V. There was a funky smell in the room. For the price paid breakfast should be included, or atleast rusks and/or refreshments in the mini-fridge.
Helouise (9/5): Beautiful, piece full - It was piece full after a long drive Beautiful
Lizet (10/5): - We absolutely loved our stay. After a long drive down, staying in such a clean, beautiful place with such nice staff was a real pleasure
Michelle (9/5): -
Aletta (9/5): It was very nice -
Robyn-Lee (6/5): Abit unfortunate that we arrived late- and had to leave the property after driving 12hours to get food as there was noth - Clean Clean
Andrew (9/5): Beautiful property, perfectly located. A great stop-over destination! - The property is very well located at the top end of Beaufort West and easy to access. It offers a beautiful garden oasis in the middle of the Karoo desert tastefully styled with French-inspired decor. We loved the fact that they could accommodate our family of 5 in a single room - a big bonus when travelling with 3 kids! The breakfast offered a good selection of both hot and cold foods and was served promptly as arranged the night before. We also enjoyed a 12% discount at the 4 Sheep restaurant which we used on the evening of our arrival. There is decent WiFi and an access token was provided for each of us in our room which was great. Nothing, it really is a great place to break our long journey and stay for the night.
Terry (9/5): -
Penny (10/5): -
Fidel (10/5): - Good and clean Nothing
Abigail (9/5): - We loved the Gardens and the Karoo Lamb dinner was lovely. The staff were professional and kind .
Elizabeth (6/5): - Nice staff and location No hot water... Didn't enjoy the dinner.. Wheat and Beetroot and chops for R270pp not worth it.
Madeleine (10/5): - Great place, friendly staff The location
Xeena (10/5): Very comfy stopover - The silence after driving 800 kms was very welcome. The lamb chop braai was excellent. The bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in. The staff were friendly and helpful. Room was large. Nothing
Richard (8/5): Comfortable and Clean - Clean, quiet and helpful pleasant staff. Great for an overnight stay Only 2 tea bags, would have liked to have been able to have 2 cups of tea, morning and afternoon
Conrad (8/5): -
Dickerson (10/5): - Staff were friendly and very helpful. Braaiing on the roof top balcony looking out to the mountains was special. Breakfast was great. all in all great
Kendall (9/5): -
Ernst JM (8/5): - We weren’t provided with any Wi-Fi details/ info. I had to work in the evening and the normal 3G is simply non-existing. Was looking for the host but she was no where to be found. Otherwise, good bed, peaceful, safe parking and stay.
