Old school hotel.

It's an old-style hotel. The service was friendly, although unfortunately, we stayed on a Saturday evening and no breakfast is available on Sundays. The empty corridors are rather echoey, and the visitors to the bar (or rather their children) were a bit loud. The food was good, and the waitress charming.

Goed ingerig. Baie lekker kos en lekker oornag plek na 'n toer deur die natuurreservaat.

Ons het 'n toer deur die natuurreservaat geneem en het die aand oorgeslaap in die Ripple Hill Hotel. Die hotel was 'n belewenis met al sy historiese meubels ens. Die kamer was pragtig, netjies en baie gerieflik. Ons het in die restaurant gaan eet en die kos was absoluut uit die boonste rakke. Die diens wat ons gekry het was wonderlik, die ontvangs was baie vriendelik en flink en ons kon heerlik stort en uitrus vir ons terug rit na Colesberg.

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.

Expected somewhat better especially the dinner quality.

Baie aangenaam,

Dit was 'n gem op 'n klein besonderse dorpie, ongelooflike mooi omgewing. Die hotel bied regte steak house-disse het my laat verlang na dae onder Spir en Kie. Die kamer was stunning oorgedoen - regtig smaakvol, die modern met 'n skoot oudheid. Regtig besonders. Wat opvallend was, was die mooi suiwer Afrikaans wat gepraat was deur personeel wat ons bedien het, iets besonders.

Lekker gemaklike verblyf, met goeie, vriendelike diens.

Kapenaars en stedelinge, sal gespanne wees oor die straatparkering. Jy kom egter gou agter dat Patensie 'n veilige plek is. Jou motor is veilig. Nou kan jy die hotel geniet. Kamers is gerieflik en skoon, ete was baie goed. Hulle was bereid om vir ons sewe-uur ontbyt te bedien sodat ons vroeg in die pad kon val. Goeie waarde vir geld.

Wonderlike plek om te bly.

Ons is regtig vriendelik ontvang. Ripple Hill is baie mooi oorgedoen en is baie netjies en skoon. Linne, kussings en beddens is van goeie gehalte. Restaurant het 'n goeie spyskaart en billike pryse. Ons het heerlik geëet. Ten spyte dat hulle vol geboek was met trougaste en 'n hele klomp plaaslike mense wat daar was, was die diens nog steeds op standaard. Sal weer daar bly. Ondersteun hulle gerus. Ek het die volgende dag die Baviaans gery en het gevra vir 'n kospakkie. Hulle het die moeite gedoen en een gereël by 'n plaaslike padstal wat dit die aand voor die tyd kom aflewer het - was heerlik.

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.

We were well looked after by the manager who assisted us when needed. The room was comfortable and warm. Wi-Fi worked well. Food was average but breakfast was below expectations. Rather have breakfast at Tolbos or Padlangs. However, all things considered this was good value for money.

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!
Kindest

Wat 'n ongelooflike en onverwagte juweel. Kwalifiseer maklik vir een van die top dorpshotelle in die land! Uitstekende etes daarby!

Dit was nou een van die grootste verrassings: 'n hotel wat voel of jy by iemand aan huis kuier sonder inbreuk op jou privaatheid. John kwyt hom uitstekend van die keurige restourasie van hierdie instelling op 'n dorp in 'n pragtige vallei. Ouwêreldse sjarme met moderne, dog sensitiewe inkleding. Baie goeie waarde vir geld en die personeel is vaardig, vriendelik en baie behulpsaam. Kos is uitstekend. Ons was gelukkig om op 'n Woensdag oor te slaap, met vars vis beskikbaar. Doen gerus die moeite en draai volgende keer hier af op die N2 vir 'n oorslaap tussen Kaapstad en Port Elizabeth, of om die talle besienswaardighede in die omgewing te verken. Sal beslis weer besoek.

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.

Die kamer was skoon en gemaklik, maar nie die prysklas werd nie.

Alhoewel die kamer netjies was, het die kamer na rook gestink met ons aankoms. Die vrou wat ons ontvang het was nors en kortaf - glad nie welkom gevoel nie. Verder was dit heel aanvaarbaar.

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.

Pragtige, netjiese hotel, met houtvloere, mooi gerestoureer.

Vir oornagverblyf is alles daar wat jy benodig en dis netjies.

10 uit 10! Die beste plaasdorpverblyf wat jy kan kry.

Die hotel is in die dorp(ie) Patensie geleë. Ek kan GEEN fout vind nie - in 'n pragtige goed toegeruste kamer gebly. Heerlik geëet in die restaurant en sekerlik die vriendelikste diens wat ek in 'n lang tyd beleef het. My gemaklike verblyf het 100% bygedra tot 'n heerlike naweek se kuier. Sal beslis weer daar oorbly as ek gaan kuier!

10 out of 10! The best farm town accommodation you can find.

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!

Gerieflike slaap- en eetplek na 'n dag se ry deur die Baviaanskloof.

Hierdie is 'n ou styl hotel wat ekstensief oorgedoen is en heelwat gemoderniseer is. Die resultaat is 'n huislike en gerieflike hotel met goeie kos en diens. Die aanwysings na die hotel kan gerus verbeter word.

Basiese verblyf in eenvoud en oudmodiese styl.

Plankvloere kraak maar as jou medegaste voor jou kamer verbyloop en die badkamer is oorkant die gang geleë. Die baie billike prys, netheid en outydse grasie van die instansie maak hom die moeite werd.

Basic accommodation in simplicity and old-fashioned style.

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.

Heerlike ruim kamer met my eie buitedeur.

Ek het heerlik gebly. Ek was gelukkig om 'n kamer met 'n buitedeur te kon kry - ek kon my voertuig tot reg voor my kamer trek wat die op- en afpak vergemaklik het. Ek sal definitief weer hier slaap as ek in die omgewing is. Die restaurant se diens was ook baie goed.

Dit was 'n heerlike, ontspannende ondervinding. My kamer was skoon en mooi, en my bed was heerlik gemaklik. Die kos was onverbeterlik en die kospakkie wat ons gekry het was regtig waarde vir geld. Ek sal die Ripple Hill Hotel vir enige iemand aanbeveel.
