If you need a weekend away and desires to be stuck in the early 80’s then maybe this is a good choice. Geez, the interior decoration in our room ( Self Catering, “Spica” ) is horrendous to say the least. Eish. I read the other reviews on this establishment too and agree with much of it. Our room, Spica, was... More

It was a bit of a shock to be shown to a room that led off the driveway and a disappointment to find Ricoffy sachets with Cremora as an offering on the coffee station in my room, but at least it was clean. My colleagues had some amusing experiences with bathrooms leading off kitchens, a hand basin in rather intimate... More

Let me start this by saying that I didn't actually get the chance to stay at the Orion. But I can completely understand why the previous reviewer would say that the host/owners of the Orion are not good. I was going to leave a review here that says that the guesthouse might have closed down and people are unaware of... More

We arrived at the guesthouse after a long trip by car, when we arrived there workers was busy painting and do renovations at the guesthouse the noise was so terrible that we decided to go to the mall for some quietness. The reception host had a bad attitude from the word go. We were woken up the next morning at... More

The house is beautiful and we were impressed with the nice and special touch in each room (fresh flowers, great variety in the minibard, amenities,etc) The breafast was... More

I personally recommend this guesthouse...the place is beautiful, clean, cosy and of very high standard! Lourens is a gem - never far from earshot and within arms reach to attend to every requirement that we had during our stay. Thank you for a wonderful time, my kids thoroughly enjoyed their stay. Although we have stayed at many places, this truly... More

I really do not agree with vacancier955, I've been to numerous guesthouses before and this is one off the most outstanding ones I've stayed in. Its super clean with staff assisting in you in your every need. Its stunning inside and out. It feels just like home but with the 5 star experience. From the moment we arrived we were... More

I find this comment very hard to believe, as all the comments I have had thus far is the precise opposite to what you are saying. I have never had any complaints about my place being dirty, because I know this is one of the most important things for me and we clean it every day!!! If this was indeed... More
