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.

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.

We stayed in the honeymoon suite. It was very special and we enjoyed our stay very much.

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!

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.

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
