Gorgeous, welcoming overnight stay.

We were welcomed warmly on a freezing late afternoon - all the heaters were on in our room, and the fire was prepared and ready for lighting. The complimentary sherry was very welcome after a long day on the road, as was the generous dinner. I loved the decor - wonderfully eclectic with lots of quirky touches. I'd be happy to stop over in Richmond again.

Ek kan dit ten sterkste aanbeveel.

Richmond is rofweg in die middel tussen Kaapstad en Johannesburg - gerieflike oornag-verposing in die lang pad. Dit is my tweede besoek aan die Richmond Cafe and Rooms en ek kan dit sterk aanbeveel vir die reisiger. 'n Bonus vir my, wat in die hartjie van die winter daar aangedoen het, is die kaggelstofie in die kamer. Dit is afgesien van die gesellige stofie in die restaurant wat, nes die kamer, baie smaakvol uitgetooi is!

I can highly recommend it.

Richmond is roughly in the middle between Cape Town and Johannesburg - a convenient overnight stop on the long road. This is my second visit to the Richmond Cafe and Rooms and I can highly recommend it to the traveller. A bonus for me, who arrived in the dead of winter, is the fireplace in the room. This is apart from the cozy atmosphere in the restaurant which, like the room, is very tastefully decorated!

Keurig en snoesig!

Soos altyd, 'n fantastiese ervaring om by die plek in Richmond te kon bly. Die kamer is keurig gemeubileer en lekker knus (dankie aan Ian wat ons kaggel vir ons kom stook het). Die kos was weer eens ongelooflik - Simon se lamskerrie is legendaries. Moet ook vir Sylvie krediet gee, wat ons vriendelik by Richmond Cafe and Rooms verwelkom het en ons kelnerin was. Sylvie is 'n juweel! Dankie, ons sien julle binnekort weer.

As always, a fantastic experience staying at the place in Richmond. The room is nicely furnished and nice and cozy (thanks to Ian who came to stoke our fireplace for us). The food was once again amazing - Simon's lamb curry is legendary. Also have to give credit to Sylvie, who kindly welcomed us at Richmond Cafe and Rooms and was our waitress. Sylvie is a gem! Thank you, we will see you again soon.

Die liefde van die eienaar is te sien in die kleinste detail van die plek.

Hierdie plek is 'n juweel in die Karoo. Ek sal vir seker dit my toekomstige rusplek maak indien ek na die Wes-Kaap reis. Die bestuurder is goed opgelei en mens voel sommer tuis met haar eerste glimlag.

A beautiful, stylish place to stay. Highly recommended.

The BnB is just too quaint. It is set in a very pretty part of Richmond. I loved it as there was something just so "Karoo authentic" about it, with some new eye candy at every turn. A small beautifully embroidered chair seat, a glorious Karoo garden and veggie area. A collection of local art, a little gallery with a few designer clothing items on offer. The list goes on. The linen was crisp, the whole vibe is muted shades, but mainly white. The dinner was so yummy. I had the crispy and perfectly prepared lamb chops. My husband had a delicious chicken schnitzel. They are not licensed so bring your own wine! Would really recommend this as a place to stay!

All I can say is, wow, what a gem in the Karoo! We stopped over for the night from Johannesburg to Cape Town and wish we could have 'zenned' out for at least 3 days just to get the full effect of the beautiful lodge and still get to taste all the different yummy food they had to offer in their stunning little cafe full of character. Thank you for a lovely stay! I highly recommend it!

Richmond sien ons beslis weer.

Ons het heerlik gebly! Ons kamer was mooi en baie gerieflik ingerig. Badkamergeriewe en handdoeke was van baie goeie gehalte. Lekker filterkoffie en beskuit vir vroegoggend. Ons hond het saam gereis en daar was 'n lekker lap gras vir hom. Ons aandete was uit die boonste rakke! Van die lekkerste lamskerrie wat ons nog gehad het in die Karoo. Richmond, die dorpie, lyk ook baie goed. Dit lyk asof meeste mense daar werklik moeite doen om die dorp mooi te hou. Ons sal beslis weer hier kuier!

We had a wonderful stay! Our room was nicely and very comfortably furnished. Bathroom amenities and towels were of very good quality. Nice filter coffee and biscuits for early morning. Our dog traveled with us and there was a nice patch of grass for him. Our dinner was top notch! Some of the tastiest lamb curry we've ever had in the Karoo. Richmond, the town, looks really good too. It seems that most people there really make an effort to keep the town beautiful. We will definitely visit here again!

Loved my stay here. The rooms and establishment are beautifully decorated. There was nothing I would change, the staff and owners were helpful and lovely. The best part was that they are very dog friendly; fenced gardens and their onsite restaurant allowed dogs. Opted for dinner onsite, the food and service were both on point.

Ek het gevoel asof ek binne in 'n kom 'magic' geval het.

Die detail en uitvoering van die dekor, die kos, die diens, alles was puik en het ons verblyf wonderlik gemaak. Ons sal dit defnitief in die toekoms gebruik as ons tussen Pta en Kaapstad reis. Julle matrasse is 'n bietjie hard. Kyk miskien na die Kooi firm matras by Matress Warehouse. Dis 'n memory foam matras, vervaardig in SA en baie bekostigbaar.

Absolutely bloody marvellous.

I was welcomed by a lady called Berna, I think her name was. She is a gem and should be well looked after. She is so pleasant, friendly, informative, and helpful. She made me feel so welcome and she was so attentive to every detail. She assisted me from my arrival until after supper and she treated me like royalty. Thank you, Berna, for being a special soul. The food was out of this world. I have never tasted a lamb curry so delicious. The attention to detail is amazing. The way breakfast was served was an absolute delight. The rooms were clean and so beautifully set out. A person could want for nothing. All the comforts were there from sherry in the room to tea, coffee, water, hot chocolate, rusks etc. Everything was thought of. I would highly recommend this establishment. Loved every moment of it.

Die foto's doen dit nie "justice" nie. Die kos is fenomenaal (ek droom nou nog van daardie geurige lamskerrie, die soet tamatie- en uieslaai, die kraakvars brood en botter). En pryse so billik, ons het amper gedink daar was êrens 'n fout. Ons kan nie die Richmond Cafe and Rooms genoeg loof nie. Maak seker jy besoek MAP ('n wêreldklas kunsgalery verder af in die hoofstraat), John se tweedehandseboekwinkel om die draai, en, op pad uit, die Karoo Padstal sowat 20km noord van Richmond - van die beste omelette en roosterkoeke wat ons al ooit geproe het.

An absolute gem.

It's as if everything Nicol and Klaradyn touch turns to gold. Thank you very much for your hospitality! The place is extremely well designed and furnished, surrounded by a lovely vegetable garden. The pictures don't do it justice. The food is phenomenal (I still dream of that fragrant lamb curry, the sweet tomato and onion salad, the crisp bread and butter). And prices so reasonable, we almost thought there was a mistake somewhere. We cannot praise the Richmond Cafe and Rooms enough. Make sure you visit MAP (a world-class art gallery further down the high street), John's second-hand bookshop around the corner, and, on your way out, the Karoo Padstal about 20km north of Richmond - some of the best omelettes and griddle cakes we've ever tasted has.

'n Breek vir die langpad.

Perfekte stop tussen Pretoria/Johannesburg en Kaapstad. Dis baie naby aan die hoofweg. Sylvie en Klaradyn laat jou voel soos ou vriende met heerlike kos en kuiers. Die kamers is pragtig en dit is smaakvol versier met oud en nuut. Jy voel baie veilig daar. Sal dit vir seker voorstel!

Perfect stop between Pretoria/Johannesburg and Cape Town. It's very close to the main road. Sylvie and Klaradyn make you feel like old friends with delicious food and visits. The rooms are beautiful and tastefully decorated with old and new. You feel very safe there. Will suggest it for sure!

Baie netjiese en skoon blyplek. Baie vriendelike personeel en heerlike kos.

Verblyf is baie netjies en skoon. Reg langs die museum geleë wat lekker is om te besoek met kinders. Personeel was baie aangenaam en die kos van die restaurant was heerlik!

Fantastiese blyplek tussen die Kaap en Johannesburg.

Dié plek is n droom! Van aankoms tot vertrek was dit net n wonderlike ondervinding. Sylvie het ons so vriendelik verwelkom en na die veilige parkeerplek geneem. Ons kon kies tussen twee kamers wat albei pragtig was. Later het ons 'n heerlike driegangmaaltyd geniet wat nog beter gemaak was deur Sylvie se puik diens en die kerslig & kaggel. Die eienaars, Nicol en Klaradyn het kom inloer-dit het ons so welkom en gemaklik laat voel. Ontbyt is beskikbaar by die Vetmuis deli 'n paar meter af in die straat of by Nicol & Klaradyn se padstal 10km noord op die N1. Ons het stilgehou by die padstal op pad huistoe. Wat 'n wonderlike ervaring. Dié mense het passie. Klaradyn het ons heeltyd op hoogte gehou met informasie, beurtkragskedules, dinge om te doen en soveel meer. Ons kan die plek nie genoeg aanbeveel nie! Baie dankie Nicol, Klaradyn en Sylvie vir 'n onvergeetlike afsluiting van ons vakansie.

Fantastic place to stay between the Cape and Johannesburg.

This place is a dream! From arrival to departure it was just a wonderful experience. Sylvie welcomed us so kindly and took us to the safe parking space. We could choose between two rooms, both of which were beautiful. Later we enjoyed a delicious three course meal which was made even better by Sylvie's great service and the candlelight & fireplace. The owners, Nicol and Klaradyn came to visit - it made us feel so welcome and comfortable. Breakfast is available at the Vetmuis deli a few meters down the street or at Nicol & Klaradyn's paddock 10km north on the N1. We stopped at the paddock on the way home. What a great experience. These people have passion. Klaradyn kept us up to date with information, load shedding schedules, things to do and so much more. We cannot recommend the place enough! Many thanks Nicol, Klaradyn and Sylvie for an unforgettable end to our holiday.

Karoo-juweel.

Keurige, stylvolle gastehuis. Absoluut pragtig. Die potjiesbad met kaggel daarby uniek. Ons het gesmul aan die geurige karoolamskerrie. Definitief aan te beveel!

Beautiful place and relaxed atmosphere.

The food, service and rooms were excellent. This is what every overnight stay should be like. Never expected this gem in a town like Richmond. Highly recommended.

Enchanting accommodation.

Loved our stay at the Richmond Rooms. The decor feels magical, we particularly enjoyed the victorian bath with fireplace. The hospitality is warm but not intrusive, and the food was really out-of-this-world. Best omelette we have ever eaten; we would be back every week for a meal if they were closer. Will definitely be back to stay when we can. This is the best stop-over option if you are driving between JHB and Cape Town, and stay a bit longer to enjoy the town and its art.

Thank you for the time to write a review. I hope you enjoy your beautiful lights.
See you again.
