Aangenaamste verassing van my lewe.

Ek het besonders lekker gebly in Rhodes by die hotel. Sal weer wil teruggaan, een aand is nie genoeg nie. Wil my vrou en kinders die mooiste dorpie in SA gaan wys. Kamer was gerieflik en kos was lekker. Atmosfeer was fantasties en die bar is iets om te beleef. Die hotel is nie net 'n oorslaapplek nie, dis 'n ervaring, 'n ongelooflik lekker ervaring.

Most pleasant cremation of my life.

I had a particularly nice stay in Rhodes at the hotel. Will want to go back again, one night is not enough. Want to show my wife and children the most beautiful town in SA. Room was comfortable and food was good. Atmosphere was fantastic and the bar is something to experience. The hotel is not just a place to sleep, it's an experience, an incredibly nice experience.

Rhodes is 'n oulike ouwereldse dorpie, gasvrye mense en lekker kos.

Die hotelkamertjie was basies, maar dit was mooi skoon en netjies. Die stort kort 'n bietjie opknapping. Met die aankoms by die hotel het die kroegman ons ingeboek en ons kamer gewys. Die hotel is 'n pragtige ouwereldse hotel met baie antieke items regdeur die gebou. Dit was baie oulik dat ons in die kroeg na die rugby kon kyk, en die eienares het gratis verversings aangebied vir almal wat gekyk het. Ons het ook ons maaltyd daar geniet, wat heerlik was. Die volgende oggend het ons ontbyt in die hotel se eetkamer geniet, waar ons 'n lekker varsgebakte broodjie onder andere gekry het. Ons het ook brandstof vir ons voertuig by die hotel gekoop.

Rhodes is a cute old-world town, hospitable people and good food.

The hotel room was basic, but it was nice and clean. The shower needs some renovation. Upon arrival at the hotel, the bartender checked us in and showed us to our room. The hotel is a beautiful old world hotel with many antiques throughout the building. It was really cool that we could watch the rugby in the bar, and the landlady offered free refreshments for everyone watching. We also enjoyed our meal there, which was delicious. The next morning we enjoyed breakfast in the hotel's dining room, where we got a nice freshly baked sandwich among other things. We also bought fuel for our vehicle from the hotel.

Beautiful village, hotel management very friendly and helpful, superb food.

We made an overnight stop here while returning from Cape Town to Durban "the pretty way" and are very glad we did. Rhodes is a beautiful, peaceful place, with a strong community spirit which keeps everywhere clean and tidy in a nice old-fashioned, casual way. Everyone at the accommodation was exceptionally helpful and friendly, the accommodation has great character, and the dinner and breakfast (included in the price) were superb.

Well worth the experience.

When you visit Rhodes, you are stepping back into a previous century. It is therefore appropriate that you should stay at Rhodes Hotel, which is also stepping back into a previous century. Savour the experience, enjoy good service and everything else that goes with a bygone era. While Rhodes is accessible using a normal car, it does become extremely challenging/dangerous if there has been heavy and continuous rain.

Rustigheid, vrede en ongelooflike mooi natuurskoon.

Die eienares gaan uit haar pad om gaste vriendelik en hartlik te ontvang, die kos is uitstekend. Die hotel is baie gewild by toergroepe. Weens omstandighede was ons ongelukkig nie in die hotel self geakkommodeer nie, maar die alleenstaande cottage waarin ons gebly het was voldoende.

Hantie en Sandra is wonderlike gashere. Hulle het ons voorsien van al die inligting wat ons wou gehad het omtrent die omgewing. Die etes was fantasties en hul gasvryheid ongeëwenaar. Ons sal definitief weer 'n draai in Rhodes gaan maak.

We loved the unit we stayed in, which had heaters for the cold and the food was simply delicious!

Loved the fireplace and pub too. What a great place to visit if you want to relax, read a book, do photography, enjoy fresh mountain air, do 4 x 4 trails and enjoy some walks! We loved the extreme 4 x 4 trip to the gate of Tiffendel and the tasty 4-course meals, which Sandra prepared for us! The village is very quaint and picturesque!

Uniek en uitsonderlik.

Die dorpie Rhodes se ligging en setting is absoluut 'n time capsule. Mens gaan 100 en meer jare terug. Argitektuur, look feel en lewenswyse. Pragtig en werklik besonders. Sandra en Handre, ou generasie boere en nou ook eienaars van die 1888 jaar oue hotel doen 'n ongelooflike job. Gasvryheid en warmte in die eerste instansie en dan 'n verfyndheid m.b.t. die decor en cuisine wat mens elke keer verbaas. Well done!

Hospitality and warmth in the first instance and then a refinement regarding the decor and cuisine that surprise you every time. Well done!

Enormous potential, but cleanliness not up to standard.

Interesting historic hotel with loads of potential - and probably getting there, slowly. There is no excuse for dusty furnishings in public areas and filthy tablecloths outside. However, the rate for dinner, bed, and breakfast is very good. Not all rooms are of the same standard, even though they are charged at the same rate.
