Good guesthouse for stay-overs in the south of Pietermaritzburg.

I have stayed here several times in the past three years. It is a very neat and comfortable place. The rooms are very clean. The bedding is decent quality. We had a small issue with our air-con and the guest-house promptly got a technician on-site to assist - we were impressed with the service. The breakfast is ample and good quality. The internet connectivity is free and fairly fast. I will definitely stay here again if I need accommodation in the area.

Kamers is baie netjies en ontbyt heerlik.

Die vooraansig van die gastehuis is in die aand nie baie mooi nie. Die gekleurde ligte sit mens af. Gebruik eerder 'n wit lig. Die parkering moet ook bietjie aandag aan gegee word. Die kamers is baie netjies, en die ontbyt was heerlik.

Vyfster!

Ons het hierdie as 'n oornagplek na die Comrades gebruik, en dit was uitstekend. Dit sal ook baie goed werk as 'n oornagplek voor die Comrades (jy moet hulle spyskaart sien!), maar ook sommer net vir 'n gesin wat in die Pmb omgewing 'n paar dae wil oorbly. Hulle was besonder vriendelik en hulpvaardig, en die kamer was ruim en stylvol.

Five star!

We used this as a stopover after the Comrades, and it was excellent. It would also work very well as a place to stay before the Comrades (you should see their menu!), but also just for a family that wants to stay in the Pmb area for a few days. They were exceptionally friendly and helpful, and the room was spacious and stylish.

Nie heeltemal wat ek verwag het nie.

Alhoewel die eienaars bitter vriendelik en behulpsaam is, het die gastehuis nie voldoen aan die verwagtings nie. Ons was daar saam met ons twee volwasse kinders en hul lewensmaats. Die foto's en hoe dit rêrig lyk, stem nie ooreen nie. Daar is 'n halfgeboude gebou op die werf waarvan daar nie melding gemaak is nie. Die erf is dus by die agterste kamers onnet. Ontbyt ook te duur.

Not quite what I expected.

Although the owners are extremely friendly and helpful, the guest house did not live up to expectations. We were there with our two adult children and their partners. The photos and how it really looks don't match. There is a half-built building on the site that has not been mentioned. The yard is therefore untidy at the back rooms. Breakfast too expensive too.
