Firstly, I must say how surprised I am by the reviews of preceding visitors to this guest house, as I will further elaborate on my own experience during a recent 2 day stay. My partner and I stayed in a small double room. It had not been cleaned properly and there was a used plaster on the bedroom floor and... More

I arranged a booking at Craigrownie for my family who were travelling from out of town for my wedding. Manie (the manager) went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure everything went smoothly and perfectly. No request was too small or too large for his attention, and I would recommend Craigrownie to anyone looking to spend time... More

We stayed here for a few nigths from 23/12/12 - 28/12/12. A very friendly place with a very pleasant location. We did not use the swimming pool and the breakfast was medium, but tasty. We did not spend much time at the geusthouse as we have family in Cape Town, but for overnight this is good value for money.
