Really good value for money. An oasis away from the hustle & bustle of town but still central. Charming farm style b

Pros: Great location, beautiful buildings - loved out room this time. Love the farm feel, the breakfast at Volkskombuis & the pool is a welcome relief in the hot Stellies weather.

Cons: The rooms can be a bit dark & gloomy. Shades of grey & brown.

I always love staying here as it offers everything that I need for a most pleasant stay.

Pros: While it is a small breakfast menu, they offer a sufficiently wide range to choose from. My personal favourite is the eggs benedict. Lovely setting for breakfast at the Vokskombuis and most enjoyable.

A wonderful hotel

Pros: Beautiful hotel with a wonderfully warm swimming pool. We even decided to stay an extra night to enjoy another day in the pool. Bedroom was very well equipped with a lovely bathroom including a shower and bath. Breakfast is great including all other options on the menu for dinner.

Cons: The hotel is alongside the R44 which can be a bit noisy.

Great location, comfortable, but more attention to cleaning required

Pros: Delicious breakfast included, and surprise kitchenette in room. Roll top bath was a lovely. Really convenient parking outside of room and great walking distance into town. The two king bed set up in the room and cot was perfect for our young family.

Cons: Travelling with children so have to check under the bed, and they were absolutely filthy. Really, really thick with dust and clearly have not been cleaned in months and months, there was even a previous guest's bracelet under the bed amongst the dust. Seeing that much dust let down an otherwise great stay.
