Springfontein Guest House

Good option.

For me the right distance between CT and JHB. Stay was great, very comfortable - only downside was the lack of meal option but I got something in Colesburg and there was a microwave.

Oorslaap op pad terug na Johannesburg vanaf Hartenbos.

Wat 'n verrassing! Die gastehuis is pragtig en baie netjies ingerig. Aandag is gegee aan klein besonderhede, bv. sagte wit handdoeke en kamerjasse. Ek sal die gastehuis beslis aanbeveel.

Sal definitief weer daar gaan bly. Was puik.

Baie lekker gebly. Het aan al ons behoeftes voldoen.

Definitely aan te beveel.

Ongelooflik netjies, beste linne en handdoeke.

Quaint and comfortable.

The host was very responsive and helpful with providing braai wood, etc. The flatlets were very well appointed, and we had a lovely time there.

Lekker geslaap, netjies, alles wat nodig was, veilig - prys bietjie hoog.

Lekker geslaap, voldoende, netjies, bietjie duur.

Lekker, warm en welkom.

Pragtige gaste-eenheid met alles wat ons nodig gehad het vir die nag. Pieter het ons vriendelik gegroet en alles vir ons gewys. Ek sal definitief hierdie plekkie aanbeveel vir 'n goeie oornag op die lang pad.

Vriendelike, gasvrye mense en 'n stil, rustige atmosfeer.

Alles het seepglad verloop.

Easy to reach, clean, welcoming.

Very welcoming, spotlessly clean, lovely bed linen, pillows and towels. Lovely garden to sit in.

Our stay was a very pleasant surprise for all of us as we were not expecting such a great stay.

The guest house was a great and pleasant surprise for us all as we did not expect to find such a neat, well-run guest house where it is situated in Springfontein. The owners went out of their way to look after our needs and we ended up having a braai using their facilities which they put at our disposal at no additional cost as we supplied our own meat. The rooms were very clean and neat and very comfortable, so we had a very welcome rest before continuing our journey. 10 stars.

Was ideale oornagplek op reis van die Rand na die Oos-Kaap.

Die informele tuin, vars lakens en handdoeke en baie sterk stort was soos 'n welkome oase na die lang reis deur die dorre Vrystaatse vlaktes.

Gerieflike oorslaap tussen Gauteng en Kaap.

Vriendelik ontvang. Ruim sit / slaapkamer met addisionele vertrek met enkelbed. Al die nodige geriewe is beskikbaar. Netjies en skoon. Sal beslis aanbeveel.

Oase in vervalle dorpie.

Heerlike slaapplek met smaaklike 3-gang aandetes en ontbyte as mens dit so bespreek. Die gastehuis kry nou nuwe eienaars, so ek weet nie hoe dat sal wees dan nie.

The warm hospitality, comfortable suite and delicious dinner – surpassed our expectations!

Graeme is a professional, experienced and resourceful host who runs this top-class guest house 'in the middle of nowhere. Our short stay there was definitely worthwhile.

Baie gerieflik.

Moeite gedoen om items wat agtergebly het, by ons te besorg.

Vriendelike Engelse sjarme.

Pragtige gastehuis. Lekker kos. Vriendelike omgee-diens.

Gem of Springfontein.

As always Graham was at the gate to welcome you with a smile. The garden is absolutely beautifully kept and a wonderful oasis to relax in after a hard drive. As usual, dinner was magnificent and plates were practically licked clean. The room was very comfortable and we slept well under crisp clean linen. Not my first visit and certainly not my last. Thanks Graham for this little gem in the middle of nowhere.

A memorable stay in an excellent B&B.

Arrived at Springfontein Guest House after a good drive through the lovely green Karoo. Attention to detail in the Yellow Room was impressive and the dinner was very good.

Netjies en skoon.

Oase in 'n klein plekkie. Baie vriendelik en gasvry ontvang. Skoon en baie netjies. Het heerlik gebly. Ons sal weer daar bespreek.

Redelik.

Gerieflik maar, die ete-ondervinding het alles bederf.

Pleasant surprise.

Lovely place to stay in Springfontein.

Springfontein House was pretty, charming and welcoming.

The meals were generous and tasty. The new hosts were warm and friendly and eager to please. Our room was comfortable and attractive. Our one issue was with the little town itself which is in a terrible state - dilapidated, dingy and utterly depressing. But that is nothing to do with Springfontein House!

Excellent old style accommodation with a very attentive host.

The premises are very clean and neat. Good quality fittings and very comfortable. Beautiful dining area and 1st class meals where provided by the ever-attentive host. Superb!

Lekker.

Gasvrye eienaar. Netjiese en ruim kamer.

Gerieflik met smaaklike kos.

Dorp is vervalle maar die gastehuis lyk goed. Eienaar doen moeite om jou tuis te laat voel.

Homely overnight stop.

Very welcoming family, good food, very accomodating.

Perfekte oornagstop.

Ideaal geleë vir oorslaap op pad terug vanaf die Wes-Kaap na Gauteng. Baie mooi kamers in 'n lushof tuin in 'n stil straat in Springfontein. Graham was die perfekte gasheer en beide aandete en ontbyt was heerlik. Kan regtig aanbeveel! Thanks Graham.

Relaxing, comfortable and attentive staff.

Very pleasant stay with excellent food, lovely surroundings and exceptional staff.

A lovely interlude in an unlikely place.

Graham was an excellent host. The house is beautifully furnished and the meals (dinner and breakfast) were excellent.

Dit was 'n oase van rustigheid en stimulasie. Ons het die keurige omgewing, gevul met kuns, vreeslik geniet! Ons sal vir seker terug wees.

Ek en my man was aangenaam verras toe ons die groen lushof binnery. Die kamers is pragtig en die diens was uitstekend. Baie dankie.

Halfpad.

Perfek geleë as jy vanaf Kaap na Jhb ry. Silwerskoon. Lekker gebly.

We very much enjoyed staying at Springfontein Guest House and the host was wonderful.

A comfortable stop off the N1.

Thank you, Graeme, for arranging and assisting with our trailer.

Overnight stay in Springfontein.

Graham is an incredible host, the dinner was delicious and his doggies adorable! The room is beautiful and comfortable. Would definitely stay over again!

Die gastehuis is leefbaar en redelik netjies, maar te duur vir wat jy kry.

Ons het lekker oornag maar daar is 'n paar probleme, die stortkop van die bad spuit in alle rigtings, so jy kan nie jou hare behoorlik was of natmaak nie. Die bad-plankie val uitmekaar met spykers wat gevaarlik uitsteek. Die etes wat aangebied word is ook nie waarde vir geld nie, 'n bordjie poeding kos R50pp. Die plek is strategies goed geleë.

Gemaklik.

Baie gerieflike gastehuis. Ek was daar vir een aand om 'n plaastroue by te woon.

Graham went out of his way to be hospitable and helpful. He and his staff offer top-class service - and he pours one of the best gin and tonics in the country!

Ideal location for us, mid-way between Cape Town and Hilton. Springfontein Guest House is a quiet haven of peace on the very edge of the little "dorp" with glorious sunset views over the veld. The meals are delicious and the catering and decor are traditionally warm and lavish, in an appealingly old-fashioned way.

Die gasheer het uit sy pad gegaan om ons te help! Rustige, gesellige blyplek.

Ons was baie laat vir die aandete, aangesien ons teëspoed op pad gehad het. Ons gasheer was gereed om ons nog met heerlike warm kos te ontvang. Hy was baie bedagsaam. Die huis en tuin is gesellig en die interieur uiters smaakvol. Dit het gehelp om 'n lekker nagrus te kon kry na 'n baie lang dag.

Heerlike luukse oorslaapplek!

'n Oase in die landskap!

Nice

Very hospitable thanks

Very comfortable overnight stop.

This was a lovely find. The accommodation is very comfortable, the food was great, the owner is very hospitable.

Baie elegante gastehuis en ‘n uiters sorgsame en professionele gasheer.

Jammer oor die verwaarloosde dorp, maar dis seker nie die skuld van die gastehuis nie.

Skoon, netjies en lekker kos.

Ontvangs was goed en ons kamer was skoon en netjies. Dankie.

A well-organised, clean facility offering excellent service.

We were well taken care of and enjoyed our stay. The service received from all is excellent and we enjoyed a good SA dinner and breakfast with even a good choice of SA wines! The rooms are neat, clean and well equipped for the FS winter.

Baie smaakvolle en huislike gastehuis met 'n pragtige tuin. Ons het sommer gou tuis gevoel.

Die gastehuis is baie goed geleë. Ons het van die Oos- Kaap af gereis na Mpumalanga. So dit was so halfpad gewees.

Overall a very worthwhile stay.

An oasis in a small town that is struggling.

A wonderful host in old historic surroundings - very clean and great, friendly service.

The house is set in an area steeped in Anglo Boer war history. The owner is very knowledgeable on the local history. Service is great! Prompt, courteous and very professional.

Die ligging Kaapstad of Suid-Kaap toe is baie goed en diens was 'n goeie balans van vriendelik en effektief met geurige etes.

Baie goeie ligging en die eienaar was vriendelik sonder om te oorbeurend te wees. Die aandete was geurig, asook die ontbyt. Hulle het 'n dranklisensie en wyn is dus beskikbaar met aandete. Dekor in die kamers, sowel as die huis, is mooi met interessante oudhede en skoon. Sal beslis weer daar bly.

Fantasties! Wonderlike gasvryheid. Uitstekende kos. Gerieflike kamers.

Wat 'n wonderlike ervaring. Die gasvryheid is ongelooflik, die kos was uit die boonste rakke, die kamers gerieflik, skoon en netjies.

Gemaklik en gerieflik.

Gemaklik en gerieflik. Die kamer was baie netjies en ons etes baie smaakvol.

Gemaklik.

Het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons tegemoet te kom met aandete met al was ons laat.

Aangename verrassing.

Baie goeie kos, betrokke gasheer, verrassing.

Sal my volgende roete Kaap toe weer so beplan dat ons weer hier kan oorbly!

Graham is die perfekte gasheer met 'old English charm' in sy hoofgebou, etiket en voorkoms. Dit was 'n voorreg om hom te leer ken - volgende keer sal ons langer bly net om tyd in sy biblioteek en formele sitkamer te kan deurbring. Die aandete van 3 gange was uit die boonste rakke en die verblyf in die tuin was van die beste wat ons nog gehad het (en ons is deurwinterde vankansiegangers deur die hele land). Ons sal weer in die winter gaan, want die kaggelvuur was spesiaal. Ons het padkos in plaas van 'n aansit-ontbyt gevra en al was daar geen verrassings in ons pakkie nie, was dit wat ons gehad het, meer as genoeg, vars en tuisgemaak. Selfs die personeel wat ons in die sitkamer bedien het, was warm en 'n plesier om mee te gesels. Ons het met die terugkomslag net 50 km van Springfontein af by Gariepdam oorgeslaap en die teenstelling met Springfontein was net een te veel. Dit was netjies, skoon en vriendelike diens, maar as ons geweet het wat ons nou weet, het ons weer by Springfontein gebly. Voorwaar 'n aanwins vir julle boeke! Ons het tydens ons vakansie van 3 weke by 7 verskillende gastehuise/selfsor-eenhede tuisgegaan en niemand kom naby hierdie plek nie! Die dorpie is al ietwat vervalle en ek dink dis die rede hoekom ons sedert 1982 toe ons jaarlikse vakansies begin het, nog nooit gevoel het om daar oor te bly nie.

Lovely English charm

Ons was 4 weke op die pad en hierdie was definitief die grootste verrassing. Die eienaar is baie sjarmant en het duidelik 'n flair vir dit wat hy doen by sy gastehuis. Ons kan dit sterk aanbeveel. Sal definitief weer oornag.

An oasis with excellent dinner and all home comforts.

See our rating.

Pleasant overnight stop about halfway between Gauteng and Cape Town.

Great hospitality and a comfortable room.

Baie teleurstellend.

Ek sal nie hierdie gastehuis aanbeveel nie. My redes is dat die gasheer ons nie ontvang het nie, die huis het 'n paar interessante meubelstukke en kunsstukke maar is verwaarloos en benodig baie restorasie. Die badkamer was moeg en die matrasse deurgeslaap, en ons lugversorging was buite werking. Aandete was smaakloos, alhoewel die tafels mooi gedek was.
