Gousblom is very basic, but it is clean and comfortable and good value for money.

Gousblom Gastehuis is very basic, but it is clean and comfortable. It is good value for money. There are no pictures of the bedrooms and that would have been useful. We did not like the fact that there was only a flimsy curtain separating the shower and toilet from the bedroom. The hostess, Corrie was very friendly and helpful.

Corrie is 'n goeie gasvrou en haar etes is uit die boonste rakke.

Kamer 5 is aan ons toegeken. Ek was ongemaklik met die feit dat die kamer direk in die eetkamer oopmaak. Die tafels is direk oorkant en langs die deur. Sal nie kamer 5 aanbeveel nie. WiFi wagwoord word nêrens aangetoon nie. Moes vra. Ander gaste het ons gevra. Ons en ander gaste het nie geweet etes is beskikbaar as vooraf bespreek is nie.

Corrie is a good hostess and her meals are top notch.

Room 5 was allocated to us. I was uncomfortable with the fact that the room opens directly into the dining room. The tables are directly opposite and next to the door. Would not recommend room 5. WiFi password is not shown anywhere. Had to ask. Other guests asked us. We and other guests did not know that meals were available if booked in advance.

Warm, kalm en rustig.

My verblyf was fantasties. Na 'n lang reis kon ons skoene uitskop, shower en rustig slaap. Ons bespreking het deurgegaan as 'n kamer met 2 single beddens. Ons het onder die personeel se aandag gebring dat ons gevra het vir 'n dubbel of 3/4 bed. Hulle was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam en 'n kamer met dubbelbed was aangebied. En ons het definitief lekker geslaap.

Die gasvrou het onmiddellik besef my vrou sal met haar mediese probleem nie kan bad nie en 'n ander badkamer met 'n stort beskikbaar gestel. Hul etes was besonders en haar kennis oor die omgewing het baie gehelp sodat ons die regte paaie kon ry waar die beste blomme te sien was.

Gerieflike oornagakkommodasie.

Ouwêreldse belewenis asook ete. Een wenk aan totale gemeenskap, gastehuise, besighede, kerk, munisipaliteit is om gedurende blommetyd saam in te spring as span om sorg aan die paaie te gee. 'n Skraper kan bekom word en paaie geskraap word. Nog nooit soveel slaggate in grondpaaie ervaar nie.

Comfortable overnight accommodation.

Old world experience as well as meal. One tip for the entire community, guesthouses, businesses, church, municipality is to jump in together as a team during flower time to take care of the roads. A scraper can be obtained and roads scraped. Never experienced so many potholes in dirt roads.

Alhoewel die plek effe verwaarloos lyk, het ons lekker daar gebly. Die gasvrou het moeite gedoen om ons tuis te laat voel.

Ons het een keer ontbyt daar genuttig en dit was goed. Die een keer wat ons aandete geniet het was besonders. Ons kon die hoofgereg kies tussen hoendervleis, skaaptjops of heel skaapnek met groente. Regte boerekos. Al die gaste het gesellig om die tafel gesels en kon inligting oor mekaar uitruil. Die kamer was baie koud en dit sal lekker wees as elektriese komberse verskaf kan word. Linne en handdoeke is effe afgeleefd.

Although the place looks a bit neglected, we had a nice stay there. The hostess made an effort to make us feel at home.

We had breakfast there once and it was good. The one time we enjoyed dinner was special. We could choose the main course between chicken, lamb chops or whole lamb neck with vegetables. Real farm food. All the guests chatted comfortably around the table and were able to exchange information about each other. The room was very cold and it would be nice if electric blankets could be provided. Linen and towels are a bit tired.

'n Globale mislukking.

Die bestuurderes is baie vriendelik en het hard probeer om ons welkom te laat voel, maar sy bly net verskoning maak vir alles. Niks werk nie. Die krag trip kort-kort. My man het later van die skakelaars gaan afsit sodat die krag net aanbly. Daar is vir ons gesê dat wanner daar nie krag is nie, is daar nie water nie, maar die oggend was daar krag maar geen water nie. Ons kon nie eers koffie maak of tande borsel nie.

We couldn't even make coffee or brush our teeth.

Gousblom Gastehuis 's response

Hi ek wil net om verskoning vra vir jul ongerief. Kamieskroon het n groot water probleem. Die Munisipaliteit gee net 2 ure per dag vir die dorp water en dan is dit tenke met pompe wat ons gebruik. So as die krag af is kan die pomp nie loop nie. Ek as eienaar is nou self hier vir die hele seisoen dat as hier n probleem kom, dan is ons hier.

Geen interaksie van eienaar, ons moes haar kontak, sy was nie eers teenwoordig nie, haar suster het sleutels vir ons gelos op 'n plek. Daar is geen, maar geen plek om te eet of kos te koop nie. Baie groot teleurstelling.

Ons het hier gebly tydens ons besoek aan die Skilpad-veldblompark naby Kamieskroon.

Dit was baie netjies met baie vriendelike en behulpsame personeel. Hulle verksaf ook aandete en ontbyt teen baie billike ekstra koste. Ons het die ontbyt geneem en baie geniet. Ons sal beslis weer hier oorbly as ons kom blomme kyk.

Baie ou gastehuis, voel soos in die 80's, ou meubels en niks modern nie, maar Wilina se gasvryheid en haar boerekosaandete maak op daarvoor. Stort was heerlik. Min krag en kon nie die aircons op die baie koue aand gebruik nie.

Een nag oorgebly, gastehuis oud, meubels oud maar was reg vir een aand. Wilina is 'n wonderlike gasvrou.

Clean, tidy and comfortable.

Things were a bit busy during flower time, we had a nice stay though. Marigold is not luxurious, but clean, tidy and value for money. There were problems with water every now and then, but they were soon repaired with a night's rest. We would prefer a shower over a bath, big round bodies find it difficult to get in and out of a bath.

Diens van die bestuurder was goed, maar die toerusting in die kamers is oud en aanmekaar geflans.

Die elektriese bedrading was onvoldoende en gevaarlik, soos byvoorbeeld kragproppe wat in die teëls bokant die opwasbak ingesit is en bedlampies wat met verlengingskoorde daarvandaan bedien moes word. Dit is substandaard en nie volgens munisipale regulasies nie. Die spieël bokant die wasbak in die badkamer was te hoog om jou gesig te kan sien en daar was geen ander spieël in die kamer nie.

Service from the manager was good, but the equipment in the rooms is old and patched together.

The electrical wiring was inadequate and dangerous, such as power plugs that were inserted into the tiles above the sink and bedside lamps that had to be operated from there with extension cords. It is substandard and not according to municipal regulations. The mirror above the sink in the bathroom was too high to see your face and there was no other mirror in the room.

The power kicks out because plugs are too heavily loaded and extension cords to stoves etc. are installed. The fridge in communal kitchen did not work.

Was oorbespreek, dus nie die kamer gekry wat ons oorspronklik beepreek is nie. Inloopgaste bederf ongelukkig die vooraf besprekings.

Die kos wat Poppie bedien het, was uit die boonste rakke, al was daar nie krag of water in die dorp toe ons daar oornag het nie.

Was overbooked, so didn't get the room we were originally booked for. Walk-in guests unfortunately spoil the advance bookings.

The food that Poppie served was top notch, even though there was no power or water in the town when we spent the night there.

Gousblom Gastehuis is a very basic guesthouse, yet clean and comfortable.

Both the manager and staff at Gousblom Gastehuis were friendly and accommodating. They went out of their way to ensure that our stay was comfortable. On enquiry the manager kindly referred us to both Murasie and Klipwerf Kombuis for tasty meals in relaxing surroundings and different routes we could take to see more of the beautiful flowers of the region. Her love for the area and its amazing flowers was palpable. On her suggestion we visited Namaqua National Park. Her input contributed towards our enjoyment and appreciation of the magnificent flora of the region.

Verouderde gebou wat swak waarde vir geld bied.

Jou eerste indruk van die plek, selfs van die straat af, en meer so as jy by die eetkamer ingaan, is dat die plek oud en afgeleef is. Kamer 5 se afwerking is swak - die verfwerk is deur 'n amateur gedoen jare terug. Die wasbak se een kraan is nie aan die wasbak geheg nie en as jy die kraan probeer oop of toe maak draai die hele kraan eers 'n ent saam. Die matras is swak - moes jare gelede al vervang gewees het. Daar staan 'n leë TV-kas in die kamer wat net plek vat. Dit dien geen doel nie. Die watervoorsiening werk van 'n drukpomp af en dis onmoontlik om die warm en kouewatertoevoer in die stort te balanseer. Een oomblik brand jy en as jy effe aan die krane draai is dit weer net koue water. Die personeel was baie gaaf en behulpsaam - hulle het een aand spesiaal vir ons vla gemaak toe dit al huistoegaantyd was. Die kos is uitstekend - ontbyt en aandete.

Outdated building offering poor value for money.

Your first impression of the place, even from the street, and more so when you enter the dining room, is that the place is old and shabby. Room 5's finish is poor - the painting was done by an amateur years ago. The sink's one faucet is not attached to the sink and if you try to open or close the faucet, the whole faucet first turns a little. The mattress is weak - should have been replaced years ago. There is an empty TV cabinet in the room that just takes up space. It serves no purpose. The water supply works from a pressure pump and it is impossible to balance the hot and cold water supply in the shower. One moment you are burning and when you turn the taps a little it's just cold water again. The staff were very nice and helpful - they made special custard for us one night when it was already time to go home. The food is excellent - breakfast and dinner.

Disappointed

The place is very neat and clean, but that's where it ends. We didn't enjoy rain and crawled in early. As the night progressed the lights went out and there was no water. When standing up, all 3 groups of people had to scramble for lights. There were candles with no matches or candle holders. We had to carry bottles of water around to flush the toilets. I sent a message to the owner, but got no response. Furthermore, Lekkeslaap markets them as a BnB, but there was no breakfast. The lady who received us threw up and said that they no longer serve breakfast for more than a year, but offered to make breakfast, for a price. Still the notice on the front door shows that it is Gousblom BnB. This visit was extremely disappointing, at a time when the economy is pressing and one expects service providers to put their best foot forward.

Geen warm water vir badkamer!

Kamer is netjies en baie ruim, hoewel totaal onprakties. Daar is geen werksplek of stoel in kamer beskikbaar nie. As 'n mens 'n rekenaar so wou gebruik moet 'n mens dit in die eetkamer doen. Daar is wel 'n gemeenskaplike sitkamer met TV (wie kyk wat?) beskikbaar. Aandete was goeie boerekos - net baie jammer ons is nie-rokers en hoewel daar geen rook-bordjies in die kamers op is, het die gasvrou in die kombuis gerook en het hele eetlokaal so na rook gestink dat die kos moeilik afgegaan het. Geen warm water was die volgende oggend beskikbaar nie en ons moes met bitterkoue water tevrede wees. Toe ons dit aan gasvrou rapporteer toe sy veel later opdaag, was die verduideliking dat die krag "uittrip". Ons het net een nag oorgebly i.p.v. die twee nagte waarvoor ons bespreek het.

No hot water for bathroom!

Room is neat and very spacious, although totally impractical. There is no work place or chair available in the room. If one wanted to use a computer like that, one had to do it in the dining room. There is a common lounge with TV (who watches what?) available. Dinner was good country food - just a real shame we are non-smokers and although there are no smoking signs in the rooms, the hostess smoked in the kitchen and the whole dining room stank of smoke so much that the food had a hard time going down. No hot water was available the next morning and we had to settle for bitterly cold water. When we reported this to hostess when she arrived much later, the explanation was that the power "tripped". We only stayed one night instead of the two nights we booked for.

Blommegekyk in Kamieskroon.

Verblyf was oraait. Ketel en beker was vuil met miere in. Die venster in die badkamer het uitgekyk in die kombuis wat ongemaklik was. Die ontvangsdame was al weg teen die tyd wat ons gearriveer het. Die ander inwoners was baie hulpvaardig om ons te help. Daar is blykbaar nie sleutels om die kamer deure te sluit nie. R600 was ongelooflik baie in ons opinie, maar ons het alles nodig gehad wat wou hê.

Dit was baie teleurstellend.

Weet nie hoe die res van die gastehuis is nie, maar kamer no. 7 was 'n teleurstelling. In die kombuis is nie werksoppervlak om kos te berei nie. Geen broodmes of broodplank. Die mense langs ons se toilet is direk agter ons stoof met net 'n venster tussenin. So mens hoor als wat hulle daar doen. Die spieël in die badkamer kan niemand in sien nie. Dis baie hoog.

Clean and neat.

We enjoyed our stay at Gousblom. Felt very safe. The rooms are neat and clean. The only problem we had was that the mirrors in the bathrooms were positioned for people over 7 feet tall - way above any of our heads! We were there at a time of severe water restrictions, but this did not detract from the experience at all - we were all just very careful with water, and appreciated the supply of ice on our signing-in. Doreen and Luna make great hostesses. Thank you. All in all - a comfortable place to stay whilst viewing the flowers.

Waarde vir geld verblyf.

Ons het uit Namibië terug gereis huis toe. Dis die regte afstand om oor die grens te kom en volgende dag verder te kon reis. Baie dankie aan Wilina wat op baie kort kennisgewing vir ons aandete voorsien het nadat Kamieskroon Hotel ons nie wou tegemoet kom nie. Dink die opsie moet aan gaste gestel word dat etes verskaf kan word met genoeg vooraf kennisgewing. Buite blomkyk-periode is geen restaurante of koffiewinkels beskikbaar wat etes verskaf nie.

Value for money accommodation.

We traveled back home from Namibia. That's the right distance to cross the border and be able to travel on the next day. Many thanks to Wilina who provided dinner for us at very short notice after Kamieskroon Hotel did not want to accommodate us. Think the option should be given to guests that meals can be provided with enough advance notice. Outside of the flower viewing period, no restaurants or coffee shops are available that provide meals.

Mooi netjies en gerieflik.

Die gastehuis was mooi skoon, die beddens gerieflik en die badkamers netjies. Die ete wat hulle ons voorsien het was uit die boonste rakke.

Ruim en gerieflik met alles wat nodig is. Was bietjie bekommerd oor motor buite in die omgewing, maar alles het goed verloop.

Die kamer was ruim en netjies en goed ingerig. Ontvangs vriendelik en effektief. Deur na agterstoep van hoofeenheid is nie klankdig nie. Die omheining is laag en ons was besorg oor die motor wat buite staan, maar het vertrou dat die omgewing anders as ons gewone stadsomgewing is en niks het skeefgeloop nie.

Spacious and comfortable with everything needed. Was a little worried about car outside in the area, but everything went well.

The room was spacious and neat and well appointed. Reception friendly and efficient. Door to back porch of main unit is not sound proof. The fence is low and we were concerned about the car standing outside, but trusted that the environment is different from our usual city environment and nothing went awry.

Heerlik gebly en wonderlike mense. Plek kort net bietjie aandag.

Ons het drie nagte in die selfsorg-eenheid gebly. Baie vriendelike gasvrou en personeel. Vloere en badkamer was elke dag skoongemaak. Ekstra toiletpapier is voorsien en skoon handdoeke elke dag. Dit is uitstekende diens. Ons het ook 'n heerlike aandete geniet. Ongelukkig is die bed al hol geslaap en die basis lendelam. Die voordeur sleep hard op die vloer en die stukkende kassie met die skuins blad doen ook afbreuk aan die plek.

Great stay and wonderful people. Place just needs some attention.

We stayed three nights in the self-catering unit. Very friendly hostess and staff. Floors and bathroom were cleaned every day. Extra toilet paper is provided and clean towels every day. This is excellent service. We also enjoyed a delicious dinner. Unfortunately, the bed is already hollow and the base lumbar. The front door drags hard on the floor and the broken box with the sloping top also detracts from the place.

Daar is geen moeite gespaar om ons verblyf so aangenaam as moontlik te maak.

Dit is veral die gasvryheid van die personeel wat ons beïndruk het. Toe ons baie graag 'n aandete wou hê is daar vir ons die heerlikste bord gekookte kos voortgesit. Ons sou graag 'n stort bo 'n bad verkies het maar het dit nie vooraf só bestel nie. Wiliena, die bestuurder, was uitstekend.

Goed.

Alles was skoon. Dit was net baie sleg dat toe ons daar aankom, daar niemand was om ons te ontvang nie. Ek het die vorige dag vir die eienaar 'n e-pos gestuur om ons aankomstyd te bevestig. Dit is nie aan die bestuuder oorgedra nie. Uiteindelik, na 'n paar oproepe, het 'n dame ons ingelaat. Ek moes ry om te gaan melk koop vir koffie. Ons het die volgende oggend spek en eiers sonder eiers geëet.

'n Teleurstelling.

Gousblom B&B Gastehuis was vir ons 'n teleurstelling. Gousblom adverteer dat dit net een selfsorgeenhied het en toe ek ons bespreking sowat 'n maand voor ons besoek gedoen het het ek spesifiek gevra daarvoor, want my man het 'n spesiale dieët en sodoende bly ons altyd in selfsorggeriewe. Die bespreking is dan ook so bevestig. Met ons aankoms het die bestuurderes (nie die eienaar) ons meegedeel dat die selfsorgeenheid reeds beset is deur 'n persoon wat glo baie lank voorheen bespreek het en wat baie gereeld daar bly. Sy het ons meegedeel dat die eienares gesê het sy moet vir ons 'n stofie sit op die toonbank in die vertrek wat as die eetkamer vir die gaste gebruik word en ons kan ons bederfbare goed in die yskas in dieselfde vertrek gebruik, maar dit is ook waar die gastehuis se voorraad geberg word. Die bestuurderes was baie behulpsaam en oënskynlik in 'n groot verleentheid want ek was nie gelukkig nie, maar dit was al laterig in die middag en baie koud en ons het nie kans gesien om deur te ry Springbok toe nie. Maar ons verbasing was groot toe daar daardie middag nog 3 paartjies opdaag het wat ook onder die indruk was dat hulle 'n selfsorgeenheid bespreek het. Die een dame was verskriklik kwaad en het toe aangedring dat haar deposito terugbetaal word en hulle is weg. Die ander twee paartjies het ook hulle bederfbare goed saam met ons s'n in die yskas gebêre. Ek het reeds vroeër hierdie situasie aan LekkeSlaap aangemeld in die eienares het in haar antwoord gesê dat ons en die persone in die selfsorgeenheid die enigste mense in die gastehuis was daardie aand. Dit is nie waar nie want daardie aan was daar 12 mense tuis wat aangesit het vir aandete. Ons was nie geneë om kos te maak in die eetlokaal met so baie mense wat ook daar moet eet, dat ek toe ook die ete bestel het en ons het vir my man maar van sy kos wat die vorige dag oorgeskiet het ingeskep. Ons voel dat die eienares het nie in "good faith" opgetree nie deur ons bespreking te aanvaar wetende dat die plek reeds bespreek is. Ons voel bedrieg en sal nie weer in die plek wil tuisgaan nie. Ek hoop toekomstige gaste sal nie in dieselfde strik gevang word nie. Die ligpunt vir ons was Wilima, die bestuurderes se gewilligheid om ons te akkommodeer en die goeie geselskap wat ons geniet het met van die ander gaste daardie aand. Origens was die gastehuis gangbaar en ongelukkig op ons tweede dag daar was die krag vir die hele Namakwaland af van 6 uur die oggend tot net voor 10 die aand. Dit was buite almal se beheer en gelukkig vir die bestuurderes was dit net ons daardie aand in die gastehuis en ons het ons eie draagbare gasstoof gebruik om vir my man kos te maak en ek het saam met die bestuurders te eet. Die ander persone was toe nog in die selfsorgeenheid.

A disappointment.

Gousblom B&B Guest House was a disappointment for us. Gousblom advertised that it had only one self-catering unit and when I made our reservation about a month before our visit, I specifically asked for it because my husband has a special diet and so we always stay in self-catering. The booking was confirmed. Upon our arrival, the manager (not the owner) informed us that the self-catering unit has already been occupied by a person who made a booking a long time ago and who regularly stays there. She told us that the owner said she had to put a small stove on the counter in the room that was used as the dining room for the guests and we could put our perishable goods in the fridge in the same room, but it is also where the guesthouse's goods are stored. The manager was very helpful and apparently very embarrassment because I was not happy, but it was already late in the afternoon and very cold and we didn't have the energy to drive back to Springbok. But to our surprise, 3 more couples arrived and were under the impression that they had booked the self-catering unit. The one lady was terribly angry and demanded that her deposit be refunded and they were gone. The other two couples also stored their perishable goods with ours in the fridge. I have already reported this situation to LekkeSlaap and the owner replied by saying that we and the people in the self-catering unit were the only people in the guesthouse that night. It's not true because that night there were 12 people at the table for dinner. We didn't want to prepare food in the dining room with so many other people who had to eat there too, so I also ordered the meal and we gave my husband some of his leftover food from the previous day. We feel that the owner did not act in good faith by accepting our booking knowing that the place has already been booked. We feel deceived and will not go back there. I hope future guests will not be caught in the same trap. The highlight for us was Wilima, the manager's willingness to accommodate us and the good company we enjoyed with the other guests that night. Otherwise, the guesthouse was okay and unfortunately on our second day there was a power outage for the whole Namaqualand from 6 am until just before 10 pm. It was beyond everyone's control and fortunately for the manager, it was only us that night in the guesthouse and we used our own portable gas stove to cook for my husband and I had dinner with the managers. The other people were still in the self-catering unit.

Sal nie weer daar bly nie.

Aircon werk nie, plug bokant wasbak baie gevaarlik, kas is skeef, te bang om iets daarop te sit en of iets af te vat bv. glase, een TV in die huis met verskeie gaste werk nie. Nie almal wil dieselfde kanaal kyk nie.

Will not stay there again.

Aircon does not work, plug above sink very dangerous, cupboard is crooked, too afraid to put something on it or take something off e.g. glasses, one TV in the house with several guests does not work. Not everyone wants to watch the same channel.

Goedkoop, maar het nie veilig gevoel nie.

Vriendelike ontvangs. Die kamer was ok maar die stort en toilet het aanhoudend gedrip. Niks om te doen in Kamieskroon nie en het ook nie veilig gevoel nie.

Gousblom Gastehuis 's response

Hallo Ernie, ek is jammer vir toilet se spoel. Ons probeer so ver moontlik as ons bewus is van 'n fout by iets, dit so gou as moontlik herstel. Die hond is ongelukkig die buurman se hond.

'n "Disaster".

Ons het 'n "selfsorg" bespreking gedoen en met ons aankoms, wou hulle ons in 'n kamertjie indruk. Hulle sê ons kan hulle yskas, mikrogolf en stoof in hul huis se klein kombuisie gebruik. Daar was twee ander pare wat ook wou inboek en het ook hulle bespreking gekanselleer. Die eienaar het twee ander plekke geskakel waar ons een nag in die een en die tweede nag by 'n ander selfsorg-eenheid oor gebly het. Die twee plekke was baie puik en netjies. Gousblom is baie vêr van standaard af en one sal niemand daarheen aanbeveel nie. Ander akkommodasie is gelukkig vir ons gereël.

Uiters teleurgesteld.

Ek is nie iemand wat normaalweg kla nie, maar dit was skokkend. Ons het net na 14:00 arriveer en daar was geen water beskikbaar nie! Kon geen stort, tandeborsel of toilet gebruik nie. Dwarsdeur die nag is ons net so gelos en selfs die volgende oggend is ons gesê dat ons nie kan stort nie. Dit is duidelik dat die probleem niks aan gedoen word nie. Niks word gesê tot jy daar aankom nie en jou geld is dan reeds betaal en het jy geen ander opsie as om te bly nie. Verder is daar ook nie eers genoeg stoele/sitplek vir almal in die gastehuis nie en moet jy op jou bed sit! Uiters swak en uiters teleurgesteld!

Extremely disappointed.

I'm not one to complain normally, but this was shocking. We arrived just after 2pm and there was no water available! Couldn't use any shower, toothbrush or toilet. Throughout the night we were left like that and even the next morning we were told that we could not take a shower. It is clear that nothing is being done about the problem. Nothing is said until you get there and your money has already been paid and you have no other option but to stay. Furthermore, there are not even enough chairs/seats for everyone in the guest house and you have to sit on your bed! Extremely poor and extremely disappointed!

Swak.

Uiterste swak en persoonlik nie sy geld werd. Rondgehardloop vir plek vir ons. Word in 'n kamer gesit, al ons klere lê op die grond, daar is nle hangplek. Eienaar moet meer omgee.

Bad.

Very bad and not worth the money. Ran around for space for us. Placed in a room, all of our clothes are lying on the floor because there is no space to hang it. Owner needs to pay more attention.

Jammer oor ongerief ek gee beslis om vir my plek en gaste daarom vra ek so min en ontbyt is nog ingesluit.

Geseende dag,

Nie wat ons verwag het nie.

Gousblom Gastehuis op Kamieskroon was 'n "afgeleefde gastehuis" wat al beter dae gesien het en het beslis heelwat TLC nodig! Die plek was skoon en netjies en ons is baie vriendelik ontvang. Die maaltye wat ons bestel het was ook geurig gewees, ons het lekker geëet en die personeel het baie moeite gedoen, baie dankie!

Not what we expected.

Gousblom Guest House on Kamieskroon was a "run-down guest house" that had seen better days and definitely needed a lot of TLC! The place was clean and tidy and we were received very kindly. The meals we ordered were also flavorful, we ate well and the staff made a lot of effort, thank you very much!
