We took a tour of the nature reserve and spent the night in the Ripple Hill Hotel. The hotel was an experience with all its historical furniture etc. The room was beautiful, neat and very comfortable. We ate in the restaurant and the food was absolutely top notch. The service we received was wonderful, the reception was very friendly and prompt and we were able to take a nice shower and rest for our return trip to Colesberg.

Wonderful place to stay.
We were really kindly received. Ripple Hill has been very nicely redone and is very neat and clean. Linen, pillows and beds are of good quality. Restaurant has a good menu and reasonable prices. We ate deliciously. Despite being fully booked with wedding guests and quite a few locals attending, the service was still up to standard. Will stay there again. Feel free to support them. The next day I drove the Bavian and asked for a packed lunch. They went to the trouble and arranged one at a local paddock who delivered it the night before - was lovely.

Comfortable, clean accommodation.
Ripple Hill Hotel 's response
Thank you for your comments, Mark. Much appreciated.
Sorry about your disappointing brekkie, we do offer 3 very basic breakfast options to our in house guests, and do recommend having breakfast at one of the speciality breakfast spots in town if you are big on breakfast. That is why our breakfast is optional, and not included in our accommodation rates.
That said, we charge a flat rate of R50 for breakfast (which includes coffee or tea or juice) and if you deduct the price of a filter coffee from R50, your breakfast cost you 30 odd Rand. If you ordered your basic bacon and eggs, you would get something similar to the Wimpy's streaky bacon special.
I am glad that you found the accommodation, wi-fi and service to your liking. Thank you for visiting the Ripple!

What an incredible and unexpected gem. Easily qualify for one of the top village hotels in the country! Excellent meals at that!
Now this was one of the biggest surprises: a hotel that feels like you are staying at someone's home without intruding on your privacy. John does an excellent job of the exquisite restoration of this institution in a town in a beautiful valley. Old world charm with modern, yet sensitive furnishings. Very good value for money and the staff are skilled, friendly and very helpful. Food is excellent. We were lucky to sleep over on a Wednesday, with fresh fish available. Feel free to make the effort and next time turn off here on the N2 for a stopover between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, or to explore the many attractions in the area. Will definitely visit again.

Very nice and a tranquil place.
Only problem was the safety of cars. Otherwise there are no complaints about the accommodation.

Ons is bly dat u alles in orde gevind het. Dankie vir u besoek. Hier is nie noemenswaardige misdaad in ons dorpie nie, en tot dusver is ons gaste se voertuie en bagasie gelukkig nog geen skade berokken nie. Die parkeerarea agter die gebou is wel nie agter slot en grendel nie, maar daar is ligte en die area is van geen pad af sigbaar nie. Dankie vir u moeite om te skryf.
Ripple Groete

We really enjoyed our stay and the room was neat and comfortable.
Although we didn't make use of the restaurant, the rooms was very comfortable and neat with everything we needed. The service was also very good. We attended a family wedding in the area and the location of the hotel suited us very well.

The room was clean and comfortable, but not worth the price range.
Although the room was tidy, the room reeked of smoke when we arrived. The woman who received us was surly and curt - did not feel welcome at all. Other than that it was quite acceptable.

Goeiedag Annemarie,
Dankie vir die terugvoer, dis goed om te weet. Ons het u verlede week 4 maal geskakel om duidelikheid te verkry aangaande u ervarings hier by ons, maar kon u ongelukkig nie bereik nie.
Volgens die diensrooster het Bella u ingeboek. Ek ken haar nie as iemad wat nors en kortaf is teenoor gaste nie. Moeg kon sy ook nie wees nie, aangesien sy pas aan diens gekom het. Ek sal die kamera beeldmateriaal moet gaan raadpleeg om verder duidelikheid te kry.
Wat die 'stink' kamer betref: hieroor is ek totaal verward. Ons kamers is almal streng nie-rook, soos die kennisgewings in elke kamer ook aandui. Ek erken daar is soms gaste wat eenvoudig nie hul lus wil of kan beteuel nie, en dan wel skelm rook. Dit kan ek ruik die oomblik dat ek 'n kamer binnegaan. Om jou vinger persoonlik op elke liewe ding te hou, is 'n onmoontlike taak, maar ek probeer my uiterse bes. Ek is vroeër daardie Saterdagmiddag persoonlik deur elke gastekamer en badkamer. As dit op daardie stadium na rook geruik het, sou ek u definitief in 'n ander kamer akkommodeer het. Wat dit nog vreemder maak is dat daar nie die vorige aand gaste in daardie kamer geslaap het nie. Ek weet ook dat ek die kamerdeur en -vensters oopgelos het, soos ek altyd maak wanneer ek gaste verwag. Of dit moontlik was vir die rook om vanaf die kroeg-area met die gange langs te kon oorwaai tot in kamer 7 of 'n ander persoon wat naby die kamer kon gerook het, is 'n ope vraag. In die vervolg sal die deure en ruite moet toehou voor die aankoms van gaste. Jammer vir die slegte ervaring!
Ek is verlig dat u die kamer as skoon en netjies ervaar het. Dit spog immers met 'n spinternuwe glas stortkamer, lugversorging, en nuwe, spierwit Super King-grootte duvet, inner, en linne. Met betrekking tot die prysklas, voeI ek dat R275pp 'n bilike tarief is vir 'n kamer met 'n 3-ster gradering. Daar is wel geen uitsig nie, en ja, die Ripple Hill Hotel sit in die middedorp van Patensie, waar dit ongeveer 70 jaar gelede gebou is, en die Groot 5 loop nie in die agterplaas rond nie, maar dit weet voornemende gaste reeds wanneer hul ons webtuiste bekyk of 'n aanlyn bespreking by 'n plattelandse hotelletjie doen.
Ons waardeer wel u insette en dank u vir die moeite. Dit dien gewis as motivering om te verbeter waar moontlik.

The hotel is located in the town(s) Patensie. I can find NO fault - stayed in a lovely well equipped room. Delicious meal in the restaurant and certainly the friendliest service I have experienced in a long time. My comfortable accommodation contributed 100% to a wonderful weekend visit. Will definitely stay there again when I visit!

Plank floors creak when your fellow guests walk past your room and the bathroom is located across the hall. The very reasonable price, cleanliness and old-fashioned grace of the establishment make it worth the effort.

Dankie vir die terugvoer, Dan. Jip, hierdie plankvloere is nou eenmaal 'n krakerige/raserige spul! Bespreek volgende keer asb tog 'n en-suite dubbelkamer sodat jy nie die badkamers in die gang hoef te gebruik nie. Die meeste van ons kamers het badkamers - dis net ons goedkoper twin kamers waar die badkamers in die gang gebruik moet word. Hoop om jou weer te sien.
Groete, Ripple Hill Hotel.

The hotel as such was very pleasant, just a shame about the immediate sleazy surroundings.
Excellent value for money, apart from location due to the liquor store on the same street and close to the hotel. I was not at all impressed with the sound of broken bottles, broken glass in the road and noise late into the night.
