Tuin is 'n lushof en die huis pragtig met outydse sjarme. Uitstekende gasvrou.

Heerlik gebly. Die verblyf is ruim, skoon en netjies. Kos is baie lekker. Word hoogs aanbeveel.

Jy voel dadelik tuis in hierdie koel lushof.

Die gastehuis is ingerig in ’n lieflike ou huis met ’n pragtige, boomryke tuin. Die vriendelike eienaar het ons goedgunstiglik na een van die ruim binnekamers (met lugverkoeling) geskuif nadat ons, ná ons bespreek het, eers besef het die kothuis in die tuin het slegs ’n bad en nie ’n stort nie. Ons is met koffie en beskuit en wonderlike stories oor die dorp verwelkom en ook die volgende dag weer so gegroet, en omdat ons die enigste gaste was, het sy vir ons plek by Phoenix-restaurant bespreek vir aandete en ontbyt.

You immediately feel at home in this cool, lush courtyard.

The guesthouse is set in a lovely old house with a beautiful, tree-filled garden. The friendly owner kindly moved us to one of the spacious interior rooms (with air conditioning) after we first realised, after booking, that the cottage in the garden only had a bath and no shower. We were welcomed with coffee and rusks and wonderful stories about the town and greeted the same way again the next day, and as we were the only guests, she booked us a place at the Phoenix restaurant for dinner and breakfast.

Lovely stay; super friendly, welcoming host. Amazing garden.

Lovely stay. Wilma is a great host and does all the housework herself. Very neat presentation, lovely hosting, super clean and safe. Wilma is engaging and will go to the ends of the world to assist you. The last food stop, most of the time, is in Bloem (1.5 hrs away). So patrons should always come prepared with supper and/or breakfast as amenities in the greater town are limited. The red and blue rooms are close to the road; if you are a solid sleeper, no problem. Otherwise, I would recommend every other room in the establishment, as they are far enough and shielded from the heavy trucks passing through town. Wilma is an incredible host; truly an amazing, caring person. For summer time, if you have an affinity for mosquitoes, take Moz spray or mats.

It was indeed a privilege having your family! Thank you for being wonderful guests and the way you reached out to the other guests! You left everything so spotless!
Looking forward to having you, always be more than welcome here!

Plattelandse sjarme.

Heerlik gebly by Wilma en die Rooi Granaat. Lekker ou agastoof in die kombuis, kaggelvuur in die sitkamer, elektriese kombers op die bed en Wilma se warmte en gasvryheid. Lekker wegbreek uit Bloemfontein vir 'n aand of naweek. Of oorbly net af van die N1 oppad Noorde of Suide toe.

Country charm.

Lovely stay at Wilma and the Rooi Garnaat. Nice old gas stove in the kitchen, fireplace in the living room, electric blanket on the bed and Wilma's warmth and hospitality. Nice break from Bloemfontein for an evening or weekend. Or just stay off the N1 heading North or South.

A welcome oasis in the dry, dusty False Karoo region.

The hostess went out of her way to make our stay comfortable. Exquisite old home, lovingly decorated, old world charm, neat, tidy and clean. Garden with large shady trees. The splash pool was cool after a hot day driving in the Karoo. The town is small, check that the restaurant is open, or bring food along. Look at the artwork on the outside wall, and in the town.

Die Rooi Granaat 's response

What a lovely stay and privilege having you! Wonderful guests and appreciate your interest in our town! Hope to see you again and thank you for your kindness.
All the best!

Die beste gasvrou wat ek al ooit by 'n gastehuis gekry het. Vriendelik en behulpsaam. Doen baie meer as wat van haar verwag word.

Behalwe vir die uitstekende gasvrou, het die verblyf ons verwagtinge oortref. Baie netjiese, skoon kamer en ander geriewe. Die tuin was beslis 'n pluspunt. Heerlik saam met die familie daar gebraai en gekuier. As ek ooit weer in daardie omgewing is, sal ek beslis weer daar oornag. Baie dankie Wilma!

The best hostess I have ever found at a guest house. Friendly and helpful. Does much more than is expected of her.

Apart from the excellent hostess, the stay exceeded our expectations. Very neat, clean room and other facilities. The garden was definitely a plus. Had a great time with the family there. If I'm ever in that area again, I'll definitely stay there again. Thank you very much Wilma!

Beautiful old house.

Beautiful old house and a friendly reception. The shared bathrooms are not ideal. However, the town is lacking even a single restaurant or proper store.

Thank you, Charl, and please pay us a visit again - you would be surprised to see what has happened in our town since your last visit!
Quite a transformation, and we would appreciate a second visit! Thank you for being wonderful guests, and we hope to see you again! Kind regards.

Oorgeslaap vir troue.

Tydens aand en oornag was daar 'n baie lang kragonderbreking, wat hele dorp en buurdorpe geaffekteer het. Kothuis het nie alternatief soos 'n gasstofie vir koffie/teewater gehad nie, wat ongerieflik was. Ons is egter baie vriendelik ontvang.

Overslept for wedding.

During the evening and overnight there was a very long power outage, which affected the whole town and neighboring towns. Cottage did not have an alternative such as a gas stove for coffee/tea water, which was inconvenient. However, we were received very kindly.

Host, Wilma, was exceptionally welcoming and friendly. Will stay there again, when in Fauresmith.

Although there is no breakfast, coffee and rusks were provided in the dining room. Room was very spacious and the garden has an orchard.

Die Rooi Granaat 's response

Good day!
Thank you and appreciate your response. It was indeed a pleasure meeting and having you. And it was my privilege having you stayed for a second night on the house! We enjoyed having coffee in the sitting room, chatting and getting to know each other. Thank you so much again for the present of wonderful Natal spices and exceptionally good rusks that you sent me. I wouldn’t forget it!
Kind regards.

Ons sal beslis weer by Die Rooi Granaat in Fauresmith oorslaap.

Pa en seun het 'n landstoer onderneem en so ver moontlik die agterpaaie aangedurf. Fauresmith het ons beïndruk met algemene netheid en weinig algemene verval - en die Rooi Granaat as oornagverblyf was 'n aangename verrassing.

We will definitely stay at Die Rooi Garnaat in Fauresmith again.

Father and son undertook a country tour and ventured as far as possible on the back roads. Fauresmith impressed us with general cleanliness and little general decay - and the Red Garnet as overnight accommodation was a pleasant surprise.
