Bo-verwagting.

Ons slaap baie oor op Graaff Reinet en is vertroud met die meeste beskikbare akkommodasie op die dorp en The Whyte House was 'n aangename verrassing. Die gasheer en sy vrou was baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig, die kamer ruim, skoon en volledig toegerus (dalk met uitsondering van 'n TV), 'n lekker bed en die ontbyt was heerlik. Ons het veilig gevoel by die gastehuis (ook tot die parkering) en die WiFi het goed gewerk. Ons kan The Whyte House met vrymoedigheid aanbeveel.

Above expectation.

We sleep a lot in Graaff Reinet and are familiar with most available accommodation in the town and The Whyte House was a pleasant surprise. The host and his wife were very friendly and helpful, the room spacious, clean and fully equipped (maybe with the exception of a TV), a nice bed and the breakfast was delicious. We felt safe at the guest house (even to the parking) and the WiFi worked well. We can confidently recommend The Whyte House.

The Whyte House se personeel het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons te versorg na 'n baie lang reis. Ons het eers na 22:00 gearriveer a.g.v. padsluiting. Reeds lank na inklok-tyd. Die gasheer het ons gul ontvang! Heerlikste slaap ooit!

Heerlike verblyf in pragtige tuin.

Ons sal definitief weer hier gaan bly as ons Graaff-Reinet toe gaan. Die bed was perfek, sag en mooi opgemaak. Die kamer was groot en daar was selfs 'n yskassie en haardroër. Daar was vars brood en muffins gebak vir ons ontbyt. Die swembad was ook vreeslik lekker na 'n lang dag se ry. Ons kyk vorentoe om weer by The Whyte house te kan bly!

Beste oornagplek op pad Kaap toe.

The Whyte House was definitief die beste plek om ons vakansie na die Kaap af te skop. Ons het net na 17:00 in Graaff-Reinet arriveer na 8 ure se ry uit Johannesburg en is baie vriendelik deur ons gasvrou gegroet. Ons kamer is aan ons gewys en sy het selfs aandete opsies voorgestel. Die gastehuis is rustig, baie netjies en die swembad was die lekkerste verfrissing na die lang ry. Die kamer het alles wat mens nodig het en ons het gewens ons kon nog 'n aand oorslaap om bietjie van die stad se gejaag af te skud. Die ontbyt was heerlik en ons was weereens verstom deur die gasheer en -vrou se gasvryheid. Die kombuispersoneel en Penny die hondjie wat kom groet het, was baie vriendelik. Die mini-bar voorraad is soos die uit 'n hotel en daar kom niks kort nie! Ons sal definitief in die toekoms weer daar oorslaap en dan sal ons ten minste twee aande bespreek.

Best place to stay on the way to the Cape.

The Whyte House was definitely the best place to kick off our holiday to the Cape. We arrived in Graaff-Reinet just after 17:00 after an 8 hour drive from Johannesburg and were greeted very kindly by our hostess. We were shown our room and she even suggested dinner options. The guest house is quiet, very tidy and the swimming pool was the nicest refreshment after the long drive. The room has everything you need and we wished we could have stayed another night to shake off the hustle and bustle of the city. The breakfast was delicious and we were once again amazed by the hospitality of the host and wife. The kitchen staff and Penny the dog who came to say hello were very friendly. The mini-bar stock is like the one from a hotel and nothing is missing! We will definitely stay there again in the future and then we will book at least two nights.

Wat 'n pragtige en rustige plek! Ons het dadelik tuis gevoel na 'n vriendelike ontvangs deur die eienaars, in geheel 'n wonderlike ervaring en die ontbyt in die groot vriendelike eetkamer was 'n groot bederf!

Ons het in die wittebrood-suite gebly. Dit was baie spesiaal en ons het ons verblyf baie geniet. Die gastehuis is pragtig, alles is self deur die eienaar ontwerp, gebou en gemeubileer - dus is dit so uniek en besonders. Die ontbyt was 'n groot bederf aan die groot tafel in die ruim eetkamer. Ek hoop werklik ons sal weer 'n draai kan maak by The Whyte House!

What a beautiful and peaceful place! We immediately felt at home after a friendly reception by the owners, a great experience overall and the breakfast in the large friendly dining room was a great treat!

We stayed in the honeymoon suite. It was very special and we enjoyed our stay very much. The guest house is beautiful, everything is designed, built and furnished by the owner - so it's so unique and exceptional. The breakfast was a great treat at the large table in the spacious dining room. I really hope we can make another trip to The Whyte House!

Uitmuntende Graaff-Reinet-styl en elegansie.

Veilige parkering en in 'n aangename area. Gasheer en gasvrou ontmoet ons persoonlik direk met aankoms. Die plek is 'n oase. Die kamers is ruim met mooi geriewe, en The Whyte House behou die Graaff-Reinet tradisie van 'n stylvolle herkoms. Ontbyt is pragtig.

Baie mooi.

Badkamer kan aandag kry. Daar is nêrens plek om jou badgoed neer te sit indien jy wil bad nie. Plek om nat handdoeke op te hang ook min. Verder, lieflike plek.

Goeie gasheer, lekker ontbyt, vriendelike personeel en ruim gerieflike kamer.

'n Rustige, privaat omgewing met 'n pragtige tuin. Reg teenaan die berg. 'n Gesellige gasheer wat aandag gee aan sy gaste se behoeftes. Vriendelike personeel en 'n ruim, mooi, gerieflike kamer met 'n wonderlike bed. Lekker ontbyt.

Pragtige omgewing, vriendelike eienaars, interieur onopgesmuk maar baie stylvol.

Kinders het die swembad terdeë geniet en die oulike hond het saam baljaar. Ons het ook die heerlikste aandete met al die groente vars uit die tuin, met twee Duitse gaste geniet. Pragtige plek.

Na `n lang dag vanaf Pretoria `n ideale oornag plek in Graaff-Reinet.

Maklik om te bereik, en goed geleë in die stiller deel van Graaff-Reinet, hoewel binne stapafstand van heerlike eetplekke soos bv. Polka Kafee. Roz ontvang jou gul en hartlik, en die kamers is pragtig gemeubileerd en goed uitgelê met `n rustige atmosfeer deur die tuin en lekker stoep geskep. Ontbyt was heerlik, bedien deur vriendelike jong dames van Graaff-Reinet, wie nie omgee om Afrikaans met jou te praat nie. Parkering is genoeg, maklik om in en uit te kom, en sekuriteit is goed.

After a long day from Pretoria an ideal overnight place in Graaff-Reinet.

Easy to reach, and well located in the quieter part of Graaff-Reinet, although within walking distance of delicious places to eat such as Polka Cafe. Roz welcomes you generously and warmly, and the rooms are beautifully furnished and well laid out with a peaceful atmosphere created by the garden and nice porch. Breakfast was delicious, served by friendly young ladies from Graaff-Reinet, who don't mind speaking Afrikaans with you. Parking is ample, easy to get in and out, and security is good.

Die verblyf was goed maar die kliëntediens was pateties.

By ontbyt was ons uitgesluit want daar was mense by die ontbyttafel so ons was uitgesluit en moes wag tot hulle stap. Dit was 'n bad ondervinding.

The Whyte House 's response

Hi Barry,

I am terribly sorry to hear about this, it seems very strange that you were 'locked' out. There definitely seems to have been a misunderstanding somewhere along the line.

We like to serve breakfast to all our guests together at the main table but I understand some people prefer to eat alone and we are always more than happy to seat our guests elsewhere. It is very unfortunate that this experience spoiled your overall experience at our Guesthouse.

Our apologies.

Regards,
Nicola Whyte
