You can't visit the Eastern Cape without going to Walkerbouts in Rhodes! The people are warm and welcoming! They make you feel part of the long lost family that has returned home! The food is simple however very well presented and tasted amazing. You have to stop for a moment and experience what "the centre of the universe" is like... More

Old fashioned hospitality in a town so remote I don't know how they manage to operate so far from civilisation. The 95km drive from Maclear up the Naudesnek pass took two and a half hours and I would visit this town again even if that was all they had to offer. The town itself is frozen in time - so... More

We were served cold pizza in empty beer boxes for which we were charged R330.00.

Beer boxes that were filled with dirty beer cans in a truck... More

Crutches were supplied by David, my leg professionally attended to by Penny & Irini kindly took me to the clinic. The attention was most appreciated. The rooms, service, food and pub... More

We had been recommended the Walkerbouts by word of mouth and it proved to be a great call. The management and owners were the most welcoming we had encountered on our 8 month journey across Africa. They gave us a fantastic discount for the rondeval out the back, a really cosy spot to rest up after a few bumpy days... More
