Mooi verblyf. Tuin is goed versorg. Die windpomp gee karakter aan die plek.

Die verblyf is "uitstaande".

Vir 'n verkwikkende nagrus in 'n pragtige, rustige omgewing.

Ek kan die akkommodasie beslis aanbeveel. Ek was nog nooit in Philippolis nie, en die pragtige omgewing was vir my 'n aangename verrassing. Die personeel is baie bekwaam, vriendelik en hulpvaardig en saam met die heerlike atmosfeer van 'n rustige klein dorpie laat dit 'n mens regtig welkom voel. Ek is bly dat ek op aanbeveling van 'n vriend Die Groenhuis Guest House as my oornagplek gekies het.

For an invigorating night's rest in beautiful, peaceful surroundings.

I can definitely recommend the accommodation. I had never been to Philippolis, and the beautiful surroundings were a pleasant surprise for me. The staff are very competent, friendly and helpful and together with the lovely atmosphere of a peaceful little town, it really makes you feel welcome. I am glad that I chose Die Groenhuis Guest House as my place to stay on the recommendation of a friend.

Op pad oorgebly op werksreis.

Pragtige huis, kamer, tuin en omgewing. 'n Juweel. Heerlik gestap in koppie en geswem daarna. Thembi se lamsbredie was uit die boonste rakke. (Ek het die aandete prys bietjie duur gevind).

Wonderlike ervaring!

Graag wil ons baie dankie sê vir 'n heerlike oorslaap in die Tuinhuis! Dis so pragtig en gerieflik en die gemmerbier en koeksisters was 'n lafenis! Aandete was uit die boeke! Die wêreld was vars en skoongewas vanmôre na sowat 15mm reën in die nag! Ons ontbyt gaan later langs die pad geëet word. Ek het jou pragtige en insiggewende Philippolis-boek baie geniet! Jul gastehuis is 'n juweel en die uitsig vanaf die ossewa is so rustig! Baie dankie vir jul gasvryheid en mag jul nog baie jare vir toeriste 'n hawe wees! Groete Isabel en Willie Lotz.

Wonderful experience!

We would like to thank you very much for a wonderful overnight stay in the Garden House! It's so beautiful and comfortable and the ginger beer and cookies were a delight! Dinner was off the books! The world was fresh and clean this morning after about 15mm of rain in the night! Our breakfast will be eaten later along the road. I really enjoyed your beautiful and informative Philippolis book! Your guest house is a gem and the view from the oxcart is so peaceful! Thank you very much for your hospitality and may you be a haven for tourists for many years to come!

Dis outentiek vroeg-20ste eeuse houtvloere en meubels, maar baie gerieflik met moderne geriewe. Thembi se kos was heerlik!

Iemand in die dorp het my gevra waar ek oorbly. Toe ek antwoord dat ek by die Groenhuis oorbly, het sy gesê dis die beste gastehuis in die dorp. Ek ken nie die ander gastehuise nie, maar was baie tevrede om hier oor te bly. Hier is stilte en vrede, presies wat ek kom soek het. Ek het baie veilig gevoel, en het die geblêr van die skape en die hoenderhaan se gekraai geniet, en die beeste en perde in die veld oorkant die pad. Selfs die voëltjies is hier makker as in die stad, gaan hulle gang sonder om gesteur te word. Ware vrede.

It's authentic early 20th century wooden floors and furniture, but very comfortable with modern amenities. Thembi's food was delicious!

Someone in town asked me where I was staying. When I replied that I was staying at the Green House, she said it was the best guest house in town. I don't know the other guesthouses, but was very pleased to stay here. Here is silence and peace, exactly what I came looking for. I felt very safe, and enjoyed the bleating of the sheep and the crowing of the rooster, and the cattle and horses in the field across the road. Even the birds are friendlier here than in the city, they go about their business without being disturbed. True peace.

Wonderlike Vrystaatse gasvryheid.

Die Groenhuis stel mens bloot aan die ryk geskiedenis van Philippolis en die omgewing. Die styl, inkleding, kos en gasvryheid laat 'n mens terugdink aan die ryk erfenis van die streek. Die tradisionele boerekos is uitstekend! Sal definitief terugkeer en ook meer tyd spandeer.

Ons was hartlik en warm ontvang. Ons het dadelik tuis gevoel. As mens ’n familienaweek wil reël vir familie wat hartsmense is, is hierdie ondervinding onverbeterlik. Ons kon heerlike herinneringe maak. Iets wat ons weer sonder twyfel sal doen.

Safe social distancing in the OFS, great accommodation, great people and service.

Ons het baie lekker gerus by die Groenhuis. Die plek is vreeslik keurig ingerig. Daar is die allermooiste kunswerke. En daai stoep! Daai stoep is gemaak vir lang kuiers en lekker gesels.

Lieflike, netjiese akkommodasie.

Aan te beveel as halfweghuis vanaf Noord-Kaap of Oos-Kaap toe. As daar tyd is, bly twee nagte oor en geniet die kultuur en geskiedenis van die dorp en omgewing. Moet op geen manier Thembi se kookvernuf misloop nie.

Heerlik om in die dorp te slaap, maar om te voel asof jy op die plaas is. Verblyf is lekker rustig geleë. Goeie geriewe en lekker stoep om op te sit. Heerlike bord kos op aanbeveling van die gasheer bestel by 'n plaaslike dame. Sal definitief weer Philippolis toe ry, en dan vir langer bly.

Spesiale plek.

Die Groenhuis het baie geskiedenis wat dit baie spesiaal maak. Dit voel soos 'n regte klein plaashuis met die mooiste meubels. Was skoon en baie netjies. Dankie vir 'n rustige en mooi aand se verblyf. Geen tegnologie wat jou pla nie.

Uiters netjies en gerieflik!

Die stal is pragtig gerestoureer en het uitsonderlike aandag aan detail. Pragtige antieke meubels en uitsonderlik skoon en netjies. Ons het ons verblyf baie gerieflik gevind en kon selfs 'n vleisie braai. Die stal word hoogs aanbeveel. Ons sal definitief weer hier oornag.

Extremely neat and comfortable!

The stable has been beautifully restored and has exceptional attention to detail. Beautiful antique furniture and exceptionally clean and tidy. We found our accommodation very comfortable and were even able to grill a little meat. The stable is highly recommended. We will definitely stay here again.

Een aand oorgeslaap op vakansie. Die verblyf was skoon, gerieflik en omgewing is baie rustig en die gastehuis het al die basiese benodigdhede gehad. Aandete en ontbyt by die Rooi Ooi kan ons aanbeveel. Algeheel baie tevrede en sal beslis aanbeveel.

I will go visit again .

Philippolis is a very small old town with all the necessary, what you need if needed. Good for sleepover and for a view days stay if you want to brake away from city life and get some peace of mind with resting. Because that's what you can do there.

Absoluut 'n plesier en ons het dit geniet om 'n deel van die land te kon sien en die eienaar is regtig 'n plesier.

Jens is 'n skatkis vanself en net om die blyplek deur te kyk is al klaar heerlike. Die stilte ws heerlik en gelukkig het ons vir hulle reën gebring.

Hierdie was ons eerste kennismaking met Philippolis en die huisvesting saam met die dorp het ons teruggeneem na 'n vorige era. Dankie, Jens.

Great as a stopover between Cape Town and Johannesburg.

Lovely house in Philippolis with off street parking. Self catering in small kitchen, 4 rooms can accommodate large family or party. Electricity problems in town can cause a bit of trouble with self catering. Hopefully town council will have this sorted out.

Fantasties!

Philippolis was ons eerste stop van JHB na Kaapstad. Ek en my gesin was aangenaam verras. Die antieke meubels ens. het my en my man sommer teruggevat na kleintyd toe. Dit laat mens weer die klein goedjies in die lewe waardeer. Oom Jens was baie behulpsaam en gaaf, baie dankie.

Philippolis was our first stop from JHB to Cape Town. My family and I were pleasantly surprised. The antique furniture etc. took me and my husband back to childhood. It makes you appreciate the little things in life again. Uncle Jens was very helpful and kind, thank you very much.

Oulike huis in interessante dorpie.

Heerlik gebly - net te kort - in Groenhuis. Wat 'n pragtige area in ons land. Soveel staaltjies van Philippolis om te lees in die Groenhuis. Kon heerlik tot rus kom voor die volgende dag se lang ry. Huis het alles gehad wat ons nodig gehad het en die tuin was ‘n wonderlike ontdekkingstog vir die kinders. Heerlik geëet by Birdhaven, 'n klipgooi van die gastehuis.

Cute house in interesting village.

Wonderful stay - just too short - in Groenhuis. What a beautiful area in our country. So many anecdotes from Philippolis to read in the Green House. Was able to rest wonderfully before the next day's long drive. House had everything we needed and the garden was a wonderful discovery trip for the children. Had a great meal at Birdhaven, a stone's throw from the guest house.

Ou plaashuis in Suid Vrystaat.

Ons gesin het by Die Groenhuis oorgeslaap op pad terug van ons vakansie. Ons is ontvang deur die eienaar wat ons hartlik verwelkom het. Die huis beskik oor die nodige maar is maar bietjie aan die ou kant. Vir dié wat hou van die ou plaashuis gevoel, is dit die plek vir jou. Die pad na die dorpie skud maar baie so ry maar stadig. Maar oor die algemeen het ons 'n gemaklike nagrus gehad om ons tweede been van ons reis veilig te voltooi.

Old farmhouse in Southern Free State.

Our family stayed at Die Groenhuis on the way back from our holiday. We were received by the owner who warmly welcomed us. The house has everything you need but is a bit on the old side. For those who like the old farmhouse feel, this is the place for you. The road to the village shakes a lot so drive slowly. But overall we had a comfortable night's rest to safely complete our second leg of our journey.
