Area is nice and quiet. The guest house offers meals and is very nice and tidy with secure parking. The WiFi was just a little slow on our laptops when we wanted to work, but we were able to sort that out to some extent.

I just want to say a big thank you to Sonika and all the effort she put in for us. We had a function and were able to check in earlier. The room was incredibly beautiful, neat and clean and perfect for an overnight stay. I would definitely recommend and use Gorgeous Gecko Guesthouse again.

Te duur vir wat dit bied.
This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.
Too expensive for what it offers.
Small, hot with no air conditioner. Only a lumbar fan. Paying R500 per night extra for DSTV doesn't make it worth it. At R1000 per night I could have found a much better place.

Following the website, expected better.
The information displayed on the website is misleading. The rooms are advertised with a hair dryer, and had we not taken our own we would have been in trouble. Although the owner/manager arranged for someone to receive us in her absence, the person was busy with other commitments later in the afternoon and evening and would not have been able to help us if any issues had arisen. There was also another group of guests who made an incredible amount of noise, and had there been proper management presence, then this issue could have been addressed as well. Rooms are small and air conditioning would have made a big difference. In the summer heat that Nylstroom experiences, a fan on the wall is not sufficient to circulate comfortably in the room. I feel for the same expense we could have found better and more comfortable accommodation. I refer again to the misleading information on the website. As far as safety is concerned, it is not desirable to struggle with a key to unlock a sliding gate at 23:00 at night - the exposure is not acceptable. Overall we were disappointed.

Home away from my home!
This little place is now like my home away from home when I spend the night in Nylstroom. I have spent the night there a few times now and the people become like friends. I get my same room every time which is awesome because I know what to expect and no effort is taken to make sure I'm happy and satisfied, no matter how many times I stay there. Gorgeous Gecko will remain my No. 1 place to stay in Nylstroom!

It was very pleasant and peaceful.
Gorgeous Gecko was very tidy and the hostess was friendly and very helpful. Just two suggestions to improve the experience: The toilet paper in the shared bathroom ran out during the night (the guest house was full) which made it somewhat uncomfortable for us. Luckily we had tissues with us! Maybe leave an extra roll of toilet paper in each room? Secondly, a bedside table and reading lamp next to each bed would have been very convenient. It's nice to read a little book in the evening and then not have to get up to turn off the headlights.

Peaceful and hospitable accommodation.
We were in town the weekend for a wedding. Sonnika helped us and was in contact early on to hear when we would be arriving. Lovely hospitable personality. Nice room and there was space for a baby cot. Enough facilities for the night. Beautiful courtyard area for the early morning coffee and quiet time. After that a lovely breakfast that was prepared with love. Will definitely recommend the place. Good value for money.

Friendly owner and delicious breakfast. The room will need air conditioning in warmer weather.
Owner is helpful and very friendly. She went out of her way to make us feel welcome. The room was clean and the bedding smelled fresh. In the hot weather, the fridge was very valuable to us. However, the room did not have air conditioning which should be a necessity in even hotter weather. The breakfast was delicious.

Neat room with small fridge, TV and neat bedding. Extensive breakfast.
We booked a twin room but were upgraded to a double room for free. Very neat. Fridge and TV (with the standard hotel package). The breakfast was delicious and there was a large selection of breakfasts to choose from. Service was very good, owners/staff very helpful and friendly. Furthermore, a beautiful place to spend the night, a bit out of the way but worth the effort.

Stayed overnight to attend family gathering next day.
I looked at a few guesthouses on the internet that were a lot more expensive, but also didn't want to provide just one night's accommodation. LekkeSlaap and Gorgeous Gecko responded immediately to my inquiry, and we got exactly what we wanted - clean, comfortable overnight facilities at an affordable price by friendly owners.
