What a host Shirley was! Excellent stay all round!

Cottage was spotless! Breakfast was excellent with more than enough to eat, and even filter coffee! Bed was so comfortable! Plenty of hot water for showering! There were toiletries for our convenience! Venue was secure! The whole area is well kept. Shirley went out of her way to ensure that we were settled in (even though we arrived quite late in the evening). She showed and explained the intricacies of the TV and Netflix setup, the security and alarm system, and times of meals. Will definitely recommend Fountains Self-Catering B&B to others who are looking for that little extra attention!

Ons het ongelooflik lekker gebly en Shirley was 'n fantastiese "host".

Die kamers was elke dag baie mooi skoongemaak en ons het elke dag skoon handdoeke gekry. Daar is alles wat mens nodig het en ons is baie vriendelik ontvang. Daar is ook baie nice winkels en restaurante net om die hoek van die gastehuis. Ons gaan verseker weer gaan.

Die beste B&B waarin ek nog ooit tuisgegaan het!

Die eenheid het absoluut alles gehad wat mens by jou eie huis sou gebruik, van die strykyster tot kombuisrolpapier, blikoopmaker, skêr, groentemessies, sout en peper, moerkoffie, muskietsproei, noem maar op, ons het letterlik net nodig gehad om onsself te bring! My seun was tydens die Nasionale Atletiekkampioenskappe in Pietermaritzburg beseer en Shirley, ons gasvrou het selfs dettol, watte en verbande aangedra sodat ons sy oop wond kon ontsmet en verbind. Dit het amper gevoel asof ek by my eie moeder aan huis is! Beter sal mens nêrens kry nie!

The best B&B I have ever stayed in!

The unit had absolutely everything you would need in your own home, from the iron to kitchen paper, tin opener, scissors, vegetable knives, salt and pepper, ground coffee, mosquito spray, you name it, we literally only needed to bring ourselves! My son was injured during the National Athletics Championships in Pietermaritzburg and Shirley, our hostess even brought dettoll, cotton wool and bandages so we could disinfect and bandage his open wound. It almost felt like I was at my own mother's house! You won't find better anywhere!

Goeie middag Leon, dit was baie aangenaam om die Atletiek mense hier by ons te he laas week. Ons was baie trots op die medaljes wat die deelnemers gewen het. Soos ek gese het, ons het wenners hier by Fountains.
Ek stem saam, as ons vol bespreek is, dan is die parkeering knap, veral met groot voortuie. Ek wens ek kon iets doen , maar ons het al geleer om dit te meester!. Ten minste is dit baie veilige parkeering en ook onder dak.
Geniet die res van die Atletiek seisoen en ek hoop julle verdien meer medaljes.

We stayed at Fountain B&B as stop-over on our way to the airport with our 3 month old baby. The owners were very accommodating in letting us check in late. The B&B is set in a lovely garden a mere 3 mins from Cascades Lifestyle Centre. We had a very pleasant stay.

Ons het so lekker gebly. Shirley en Rob het moeite gedoen om ons tuis te laat voel, hulle het spesiale moeite gedoen om my waatlemoen-allergie te akkomodeer. Die kamers is ruim en het alles wat nodig is. Die wit linne en kraakvars handdoeke het ons beïndruk! Die gastehuis het veilige parkering en 'n rustige atmosfeer. Ons kan dit enige tyd aanbeveel.
