Overnight stay in a perfect central position to enjoy the flowers of the Western Cape. Charming and gracious old home set in a beautiful garden with stunning views of the mountains. Highly recommended. Oh, and a gorgeous old bath to soak off the day's travelling!

Not the best.

It may be that I didn’t research this venue particularly well as I thought it was a B&B only to find that it was basically a self-catering venue. It was comfortable enough, but I think it needs an upgrade/renovation. We also got locked out after our dinner at an outside venue as the key we were given to enter the premises to access our room did not work in the lock. We phoned the host but got no reply, and luckily could access our room through a sash window which had not been secured! I reported this to the host via a WhatsApp message.

Gemoedsrus met gerief.

Vriendelikste gasvrou! Pragtige huis met styl en gemak. Alles wat nodig was, is daar. Personeel is baie behulpsaam en skoonmaakdiens is deeglik. Lieflike swembad en buite braai- en kuierarea. Naby aan winkels (geleë in hoofstraat). Genoeg ruimte dat gaste nie in mekaar se spasie is nie en steeds privaatheid kan hê.

Friendliest hostess! Beautiful home with style and comfort. Everything that was needed is there. Staff are very helpful and cleaning service is thorough. Lovely swimming pool and outside braai and social area. Close to shops (located on high street). Enough space that guests are not in each other's space and can still have privacy.

The Rectory Guesthouse is 'n juweel, 'n eeu se tree terug in argitektuur, karakter en styl. Warm gasvryheid gekombineer met 'n ouwêreldse atmosfeer. Rectory is volledig toegerus, netjies en bied 'n oase van lafenis vir siel en liggaam.

Word beslis aanbeel vir 'n klein familie of vir twee mense.

Hierdie gastehuis is van hoogstaande gehalte en bied jou alles wat jou eie huis kan gee. Dit is smaakvol gemeubileer en die eienaar was vriendelik, gasvry en behulpsaam. Die oornagakkommodasie was die beste van al die gastehuise waar ons gebly het in die Wes-Kaap en word sterk aanbeveel.

This guest house is of high quality and offers you everything that your own home can give. It is tastefully furnished and the owner was friendly, hospitable and helpful. The overnight accommodation was the best of all the guesthouses we stayed at in the Western Cape and is highly recommended.

Dit was heerlik om in so 'n ou, maar pragtig opgeknapte huis te bly met soveel geskiedenis en atmosfeer.

The Rectory Gastehuis dateer uit 1820 en is pragtig opgeknap deur die baie gawe en vriendelike eienares, Esther. Daar heers 'n gesellige, selfs nostalgiese atmosfeer, en ons het dit baie geniet om in die ou plek met sy ruim kamers te bly. Die huis is baie sentraal geleë en is stapafstand na alles toe. Ons sal beslis in die toekoms weer daar bly.

The Rectory Guest House dates from 1820 and has been beautifully renovated by the very kind and friendly owner, Esther. There is a cosy, even nostalgic atmosphere, and we really enjoyed staying in the old place with its spacious rooms. The house is very centrally located and is walking distance to everything. We will definitely stay there again in the future.

Spesifiek met bespreking gevra vir 2 kamers met storte. Kry toe een kamer sonder stort met bad waarvan die prop nie seel nie. Om te was was 'n uitdaging vir daai kamer se gaste. Wifi het glad nie internettoegang gebied nie.

Heerlik ontspannend.

Ons was 'n groep van 8 lede. Ons het 'n warm verwelkoming gehad deur die eienares Esther. Ons het nie vooraf gereël vir aandete nie en binne 5 minute het sy met haar vriendin Ruth gereël dat ons by haar restaurant kan eet. Die akkommodasie is verfrissend mooi met gerieflike beddens, kamers ook baie ruim met en suite-badkamers. Die hele opset is mooi en rustig. Ons moes noodgedwonge nog 'n aand oornag en alhoewel sy redelik volbespreek was kon sy van ons groeplede akkommodeer! Haar winkeltjie Aunty Poppies moet jul nie uitmis nie! Sal beslis weer daar gaan bly.

Deliciously relaxing.

We were a group of 8 members. We had a warm welcome by the owner Esther. We had not arranged for dinner in advance and within 5 minutes she had arranged with her friend Ruth that we could eat at her restaurant. The accommodation is refreshingly beautiful with comfortable beds, rooms also very spacious with en suite bathrooms. The whole setting is beautiful and peaceful. We were forced to spend another night and although she was quite fully booked she was able to accommodate some of our group members! Don't miss her shop Aunty Poppies! Will definitely stay there again.
