The location of the hotel is unbeatable. The room is beautiful and very clean. The hotel is around the corner (literally 15 meters) from the Occidental Restaurant which serves delicious food and has a nice atmosphere. The big hole tour is a must and I highly recommend the hotel, restaurant and tour for those who want to experience the history of Kimberley. We enjoyed it very much.

Shoo, I didn't do my homework very well, but what we found there was a pleasant surprise. Beautiful, neat, clean room. The little old "town" was a big surprise. We went to see everything, did the "big hole" tour, bought souvenirs and ate at the restaurant. Everything was just pleasant. We were just looking for a place to stay on the way back from the Cape to Potchefstroom, but we got a big surprise when we landed there. Friendly staff and very helpful. Thank you very much.

Although the accommodation was great, it was unfortunately not pleasant due to the few cockroaches that crawled over the bed. The location is also not ideal for rest, as there was a big party until late in the evening, as well as informal motorcycle rides outside the complex.

All that was not so nice was the fact that there was no water between 8 pm and 5 am. I was with the children at my wife's hospital until late and when we wanted to wash for the night's rest there was no water. I then later read in the letter that was given to us that one should take precautions for this but as I say it was already too late. Overall it was very nice and something completely new for us. Will go again for sure.
