Beautiful house in the middle of town.

Lovely old house very close to the hospital and other central amenities. I loved the charm of the wooden floors and the beautiful garden. If I need to stay in Kimberley again, I will definitely visit again.

Vriendelike diens en heerlike nagrus.

Die mooiste gastehuis in die middel van Kimberley. Die kamers is pragtig en baie gemaklik ingerig. Die diens was baie vriendelik en Anoeschka het ons baie welkom laat voel. Sy is 'n fantastiese gasvrou. Dankie vir 'n wonderlike ervaring. Ons sal beslis weer hier oorbly!

Baie lekker verblyf.

Anuschka was baie behulpsaam met reëlings. Ons het lekker gebly en het 'n skoon kamer gehad, lekker bed en badkamer. Dis 'n mooi, ou gebou. Die area was nie die greatste nie maar ons het baie veilig gevoel in die gastehuis en lekker gebly. Ons is 'n gesin van 4.

Die fasiliteite en diens was baie goed.

Ons moes net vroeg weg wees en wou sonder ontbyt gaan maar was ingelig dat 'n wegneemontbyt ingesluit sou word wat ons toe aanvaar het, eerder as om langs die pad by 'n restaurant te stop vir ontbyt. Hierdie was teleurstellend - ons het yoghurt-houers gekry maar geen (plastiek) lepel om dit mee te eet nie. Daar was ook geen drinkgoed ingesluit nie - 'n vrugtesappie sou nogal gehelp het! Daar was ook geen servette in die kospakkies voorsien nie. Ons wil ook voorstel dat die kliënt se keuse t.o.v. wit- of bruinbrood gevra sal word voor kospakkies opgemaak word.

The facilities and service were very good.

We just had to leave early and wanted to go without breakfast but were informed that a take away breakfast would be included which we then accepted, rather than stopping at a restaurant along the way for breakfast. This was disappointing - we got yogurt containers but no (plastic) spoon to eat them with. There were no drinks included either - a fruit juice would have helped quite a bit! There were also no napkins provided in the food packages. We would also like to suggest that the customer's choice regarding white or brown bread will be asked before food packages are prepared.

Gemaklike, rustig opset en baie lekker ontbyt.

Zelda het ons hartlik ontvang en ons het dadelik goed gevoel oor waar ons gaan bly. Die kamers is ruim en het alles wat jy benodig. Die yskassie het baie handig te pas gekom. Ons het gehou van die feit dat jy op 'n strokie 'n paar voorkeure of afkeure kon kies vir ontbyt. Al die personeel is netjies en vriendelik. Ek was veral super beïndruk nadat ons vertrek het en so 3 minute later 'n oproep ontvang! Dit was Zelda wat laat weet het 'n skoonmaker het my man se trouring op die wasbak gekry! Hy was so verlig dat hy die werkertjie 'n dankie-fooi gegee het. Ons sien julle beslis weer volgende jaar!

Comfortable, tranquil setup and delicious breakfast.

Zelda received us warmly and we immediately felt good about where we were going to stay. The rooms are spacious and have everything you need. The bar fridge came in very handy. We liked the fact that on a slip you could choose a few preferences or dislikes for breakfast. All the staff are neat and friendly. I was especially impressed after we left and received a call about 3 minutes later! It was Zelda who told me a cleaner got my husband's wedding ring on the sink! He was so relieved that he gave the worker a thank-you fee. We'll definitely see you again next year!

An excellent stay over.

The Cecil John Rhodes Guest House is a pleasant retreat from an otherwise busy day to day life. The guest house offers all the amenities a weary traveller needs to have - especially after a long day on the road. Centrally located in Kimberley, the guest is close to all historic sites that can be found in this unique town. Highly recommended!

House is beautiful and unique.

Signage at guest house is poor. On our arrival we had to call, because you stand in front of the guest house, but there is no car entrance. Entrance in dark back street. My daughter and I felt very unsafe when we came back late that evening after dinner and got lost. Will definitely not stay there again. Safety must be priority. The fact that there is also no staff in the evenings made us feel unsafe. We had to open and close for ourselves at 10 o'clock in the evening. How do you know the other guests do this. No thank you. You don't see me again.

Die gastehuis is baie tegemoetkomend. Ons wou die volgende oggend baie vroeg ry, en hulle het vir ons kospakkies ingepak om saam te neem, omdat ons nie ontbyt sou eet daar nie. Parkering is veilig, en ons het ons eie hek afstandbeheer gekry en kon kom en gaan soos ons wou! Sal beslis weer daar oornag.

Gemaklike, gerieflike en skoon oornaggeriewe met vriendelike diens.

Ons het lekker gebly en die dame was baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Sal weer daar tuisgaan in die toekoms.

Heerlik!

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang. Die gastehuis is goed geleë om al die museums te besoek. Dit is skoon en netjies. Dit is ook sakpas. Die gastehuisbestuurder was altyd gereed om te help.

Goed en sonder probleme!

Dit was regtig aangenaam. Ons moes vroeg by die Kimberley hospitaal gewees het en het selfs soontoe gestap sonder probleme. Die ontbyt was heerlik en almal daar was regtig vriendelik en bereid om te help. Die vertrekke was groot en goed ingerig en die tuin is baie mooi.

Good and without problems!

It was really pleasant. We should have been at the Kimberley hospital early and even walked there without problems. The breakfast was delicious and everyone there was really friendly and willing to help. The rooms were large and well furnished and the garden is very beautiful.

Cecil John Rhodes Guest House 's response

Baie dankie vir die positiewe terugvoer. Ons voel ook dat CJR 'n rustige toevlugsoord tussen die gejaag van die "stad" is. Ons hoop om u weer by ons gastehuis te kan bederf.

'n Gerieflike gastehuis naby die hoofsentra. 'n Skoon kamer, beddegoed en badkamers! 'n Pragtige plek!

Die slaapkamers was skoon en gerieflik. Ook het ons dogter 'n artikel in haar kamer vergeet en is ons die volgende oggend gebel en verwittig daarvan.

Verblyf aangenaam in 'n historiese huis!

Die diens was uiters vriendelik en die kamers ruim en baie aangenaam. Dit is 'n ou historiese huis en 'n mens verwag dus nie moderne geriewe en fasiliteite nie.

Pleasant stay in a historic house!

The service was extremely friendly and the rooms spacious and very pleasant. It is an old historical house and therefore one does not expect modern comforts and facilities.

Pragtige huis, skoon, netjies, gasvrou puik, tuin wonderlik om in te sit.

Dis 'n pragtige huis, skoon en netjies - al is dit oud en uit 'n ander era, slaap mens lekker. Ons gasvrou (Joanie) was puik, vriendelik en gasvry. Heelike ontbyt bedien. Die tuin met al die voëltjies, water 'features' en koelte op 'n warm dag baie welkom, en jy kan lekker met 'n boek ontspan. Die enigste ding wat 'n bietjie hinder, is die blok woonstelle langsaan. Daar was kindertjies wat skree-huil, wasgoed op balkone, ens. en ongelukkig doen dit so 'n bietjie afbreek aan hierdie wonderlike huis. 'n Mens wens eintlik jy kon die huis optel en skuif. Steeds sal ek vir familie of vriende wat op 'n eennagstop is, voorstel om hier te bly.

Beautiful house, clean, tidy, hostess great, garden wonderful to sit in.

It's a beautiful house, clean and tidy - even though it's old and from another era, you sleep well. Our hostess (Joanie) was great, friendly and hospitable. Full breakfast served. The garden with all the birds, water 'features' and coolness on a hot day very welcome, and you can relax with a book. The only thing that hinders a bit is the block of flats next door. There were children screaming and crying, laundry on balconies, etc. and unfortunately it kind of detracts from this wonderful house. One actually wishes you could pick up and move the house. Still I would suggest family or friends on a one night stop to stay here.

Beautiful accommodation taking you back to yester-year!

Ons het lekker gekuier. Ontbyt was baie lekker en die kamer was spesiaal. Dis altyd lekker om in so 'n ou huis vol geskiedenis te bly. Rond af jou tyd hier met 'n besoek by Kimberley se gat.

Lovely, friendly welcome

We unfortunately found our room to not have been cleaned properly on our arrival with crumbs and a small chicken bone on the floor but when this was pointed out to the staff, they were quick to apologize and the room was cleaned. Also we found the breakfast to be a little strange as it included a crumbed chicken with bacon and eggs. Otherwise, a good stay.
