Superior.

If I could give a higher than 10 rating, I would have. The staff was friendly, everything clean and the rooms were amazing. We were a group and not one person had complaints about anything. Thank you.

Lanklaas so 'n netjiese blyplek beleef. Baie vriendelike personeel.

Plek is so netjies, jy is amper bang om dit vuil te maak. Jy kan sien dit word goed onderhou. Iets wat skaars is in vandag se tyd. Beslis 'n vier ster gradering werd. Sal verseker weer daar bly en kan dit vir enige reisiger aanbeveel.

Haven't experienced such a neat place to stay in a long time. Very friendly staff.

Place is so neat, you're almost afraid to make it dirty. You can see it is well maintained. Something that is rare in today's time. Definitely worth a four star rating. Would definitely stay there again and can recommend it to any traveller.

Vriendelike gasheerpaar (Gavin en Claire); goeie ontbyt; geriewe hoofsaaklik te beknop en onvoldoende.

Ons het die buitekamer (vir meer privaatheid) bespreek. Dit was egter nie agter in die erf soos ons gedink het nie, maar voor, tussen die parkeer-area, eienaars se garage en die hoofhuis. Ons kon elke geluid vanuit hierdie areas hoor, en moes koes vir verbygaande mense as ons die kamervensters durf oopmaak het. Die ontbytarea is te beknop vir die aantal gaste wat bedien moet word. Die parkeer-area is ook heeltemal te klein vir die hoeveelheid voertuie wat daar moet parkeer. Alhoewel die gasheer aangebied het om voertuie rond te skuif, wou ons as gaste nie stres elke keer as ons daar aankom nie (geen plek onmiddellik beskikbaar) of daarvandaan vertrek (moet eers ander voertuie rangeer om te kan uitkom) nie. Die ekstraktor wat outomaties aankom wanneer die badkamerlig aangaan, se volume geraas is heeltemal te hard. Die geriewe was nie heeltemal soos ons verwag het nie (swembad het 'n net oorgehad, so ons sou nie sonder baie moeite kon swem nie; DStv in die kamer was nie die volle pakket nie - ons kon byvoorbeeld die meeste van ons gewone keuses soos kanale 120, 144, 145, ens. nie sien nie).

Friendly host couple (Gavin and Claire); good breakfast; facilities mainly too cramped and inadequate.

We booked the outside room (for more privacy). However, it was not at the back of the yard as we thought, but in front, between the parking area, owners' garage and the main house. We could hear every sound from these areas, and had to cower to passers-by if we dared to open the bedroom windows. The breakfast area is too cramped for the number of guests to be served. The parking area is also far too small for the amount of vehicles that have to park there. Although the host offered to move vehicles around, as guests we didn't want to stress every time we got there (no place immediately available) or left from there (need to maneuver other vehicles first to be able to get out). The volume noise of the extractor that comes on automatically when the bathroom light comes on is way too loud. The facilities weren't quite what we expected (pool had a net left so we wouldn't have been able to swim without a lot of trouble; DStv in the room wasn't the full package - for example we couldn't use most of our usual choices like channels 120, 144, 145, etc. not seen).

Baie dankie dat U die moeite gedoen het om 'n resensie vir ons te skryf.
Ek is baie jammer dat julle die geriewe to beknop gevind het.
Wens die droogte, moet ons die swembad toemaak want ons het nie water om dit voltemaak nie.
Ons sal onmiddelik na die ekstraktor in die badkamer kyk.
Baie dankie

Baie gesellig saam gekuier.

Die plek was netjies, die omgewing stil en die gasheer en gasvrou baie vriendelik. Dit is ver genoeg uit die middedorp om stiller te wees, maar nogsteeds stapafstand. Die kamer waarin ons was, deel 'n kombuis en leefarea met 'n tweede kamer wat nie tydens ons besoek gebruik was nie.

Very cozy time together.

The place was tidy, the surroundings quiet and the host and hostess very friendly. It is far enough out of the town center to be quieter, but still within walking distance. The room we were in shares a kitchen and living area with a second room that was not in use during our visit.

Goeie vriendelike ontvangs. Ruim verblyf. Lekker ontbyt.

Strate in Grahamstad kort baie aandag. Alles gaan net ageruit in die pragtige ou Settlers City. Kan nie glo Rhodes Universiteit lyk so sleg nie. Maar by Jenny's lyk alles baie goed ten spyte van droogte en tekort aan water.

Good friendly reception. Spacious accommodation. Nice breakfast.

Streets in Grahamstown need a lot of attention. Everything just goes haywire in the beautiful old Settlers City. Can't believe Rhodes University looks so bad. But at Jenny's everything looks very good despite drought and shortage of water.

Fijne plek om te vertoeven.

Jenny's guesthouse is een prettige B&B. Vriendelijke gastvrouw en alles keurig voor elkaar. Alleen jammer dat de wIfi niet goed werkt. Het is ons één keer gelukt om voor even op het internet te komen. De ligging is iets (1 km.) buiten het centrum maar eenvoudig te bereiken.

Fantasties.

Baie selde is ons tevrede waar ons bespreek het. Maar Jenny's Guest House was ons totaal verras. Skoon, netjies en privaat. Lieflike tuin omring met bome. Ontbyt was aangenaam en goeie verskeidenheid om van te kies wat aangebied word. Eienaars vriendelik en laat jou tuis voel. Eenheid self goed ingerus met alles wat jy nodig het. As die spasie benoud raak is daar 'n sitkamer om jou te verwelkom. As ek ooit weer in daardie kontrei is, sal ek nie aarsel om weer daar te bespreek nie.

Very rarely are we satisfied where we booked. But Jenny's Guest House totally surprised us. Clean, tidy and private. Lovely garden surrounded by trees. Breakfast was pleasant and good variety to choose from on offer. Owners friendly and make you feel at home. Unit itself well equipped with everything you need. If space gets tight there is a lounge to welcome you. If I'm ever in that county again, I wouldn't hesitate to book there again.

Akkommodasie was baie gerieflik, skoon en netjies. Dekorasie, meubelstukke en toerusting getuig van goeie smaak en styl wat tariewe regverdig. Die ontbyt wat ingesluit is, was ook van hoë gehalte.

Geleë in 'n stil voorstad van Grahahamstown, dog kan alle belangrike besoekpunte maklik per motor bereik word. Ontvangs was gasvry en vriendelik en die geriewe skoon. Die ontbyt was uitstekend en is sonder vertraging bedien.

Absolutely the best place to stay and would go back there in a heartbeat!

A very warm welcome from Claire and Gavin. We were shown to a flat tastefully decorated and beautifully clean. There was plenty of room for my 2 teenage sons, my husband and me. A kitchenette, a lounge come dining room. They could not make us feel more at home. Really comfortable beds saw us through the night and we went down to breakfast in the main house. A great spread for breakfast and hot breakfast if you wanted it made by Clare. We spent two nights there and a very dedicated Claire and Gavin stood in the rain to bid us farewell.

Fantastic rooms in beautiful city

Jenny's Guest House in picturesque Grahamstown is well worth a visit. We arrived when it was quite cold in the evenings (although not yet mid winter) and our room was comfortable, warm and very inviting. If we had not had to travel such a long day the following day, I would happily have spent as long as possible in that cosy bed!
