Welcoming, comfortable, safe and great food too! Buffet is plentiful.

Very relaxed and comfortable place. Probably the cleanest and best maintained accommodation that I have stayed in for many years. And I have stayed in dozens of places all over Southern Africa during the past 30 years or more.

Resthaven verdien beslis ons aanbeveling.

Uitstekende fasiliteite, met warm, openhartige ontvangs deur die gasheer. Ons groep het werklik lekker oornag en gekuier. Ontbyt was voldoende, maar meer aandag kan moontlik hier gegee word.

Resthaven definitely deserves our recommendation.

Excellent facilities, with a warm, open-hearted welcome by the host. Our group really enjoyed spending the night and visiting. Breakfast was adequate, but more attention could possibly be given here.

Resthaven Guesthouse 's response

Thank you for your positive review on our establishment. We pride ourselves on serving a full buffet breakfast which is more than sufficient for the majority of our guests. Breakfast consists of fruit, cereal, yoghurt, tea/coffee, and fruit juice, as well as a cooked breakfast of bacon, eggs, sausage, beans, tomato, toast, and jams. Not sure what further attention is required.

Heerlike oornag akkommodasie!

Veilige, skoon oornag akkommodasie. Wonderlike plattelandse gasvryheid met pragtige, goed toegeruste kamers. Die gasheer en sy span het ons selfs met aandete getrakteer. Ek sal dit beslis aanbeveel as 'n oornagbestemming op die R56!

Great overnight accommodation!

Safe, clean overnight accommodation. Wonderful country hospitality with beautiful, well appointed rooms. The host and his team even treated us to dinner. I would definitely recommend this as an overnight destination on the R56!

Ek wil aanbeveel dat kliente nie hierdie "luukse" kamer bespreek nie.

Glad nie. Ons luukse kamer was ongetwyfeld nie luuks nie. Die badkamer venster het in 'n onnet stoorkamer oopgemaak. Die handewasbak was so klein dat jy amper nie jou gesig daarin kon was nie. Die rakkie langs die handewasbak was geroes. Die bed het slegs een bedkant lig gehad wat nie gewerk het nie. Daar was slegs een bedkant mat wat oud was. Die uitsig vanaf hierdie kamer was deur 'n muur versper. Die buite tafel met twee stoele was pateties. Weereens, die uitsig was deur 'n muur versper.

I would recommend that clients do not book this "luxury" room.

Not at all. Our luxury room was certainly not luxurious. The bathroom window opened into an untidy storage room. The hand basin was so small that you could hardly wash your face in it. The shelf next to the hand sink was rusted. The bed only had one bedside light that didn't work. There was only one bedside rug that was old. The view from this room was blocked by a wall. The outside table with two chairs was pathetic. Again, the view was blocked by a wall.

Exceeded all expectations.

Philip went out of his way to make our stayover a memorable one. He is a wealth of information about the area and its attractions. He helped us plan a route to some places we would never have visited otherwise.

Netjies, skoon en veilig.

Netjiese, skoon kamers. Veilige parkering. Goeie oornag gastehuis met vriendelike gasheer en gasvrou. Ek stel voor dat etes voor die tyd bespreek word. Ons was te laat om aandete te bespreek maar die ontbyt was heerlik. Dorp het ongelukkig nie 'n keuse van restaurante nie, net 'n Steers.

Neat, clean rooms. Secure parking. Good overnight guest house with friendly host and hostess. I suggest booking meals ahead of time. We were too late to book dinner but the breakfast was delicious. Town unfortunately does not have a choice of restaurants, only a Steers.

Wonderlike ondervinding.

Die gasvrou en haar eggenote kon nie genoeg doen om ons tuis te maak in die pragtige gastehuis nie. Die plekkie is pragtig met wonderlike toegeruste kamers.

Netjiese en veilige verblyf.

Het slegs een nag oorgebly. Is vriendelik ontvang. Skoon, ruim en netjiese geriewe met veilige parkering. Was te haastig om ontbyt te nuttig. Sal weer hier oorbly.

Gemaklik.

Lekker aandete gehad. Hulle kan gerus gebottelde water beskikbaar maak vir die kamer. Was nie gemaklik om die kraanwater te drink nie.
