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!

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.

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!

The detail and execution of the decor, the food, the service, everything was superb and made our stay wonderful. We will definitely use it in the future when traveling between Pta and Cape Town. Your mattresses are a bit hard. Perhaps check out the Kooi firm mattress at Mattress Warehouse. It's a memory foam mattress, manufactured in SA and very affordable.

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.

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.
