Just slept overnight the 21st Sept and 24th Sept 2024. Friendly reception by Keith. Neat room, with two single beds, coffee/tea with sugar and powdered milk. It was very pleasant. Slept warm and cuddly with the extra blankets, after a hot shower.

Peaceful, hospitable and good for the soul.
We were met outside by the host, Keith, what a nice surprise. He also made sure in advance that we were on our way and that we knew how to get to the destination. Keith is friendly and caring. The guest house is an exceptional old house with beautiful plank floors, door frames and doors and the most beautiful sliding wooden windows. And sitting and visiting on the wide porch with its red polished floor is a pleasant experience that takes you back to days gone by. The garden is a loop court that is maintained with care through dry periods. His staff is nice and my pets were received with great love and understanding. Thanks Keith.

Not satisfied at all.
Although the costs of the accommodation were cheap, we would not recommend the guest house at all. It is old, the wooden floors are falling in, my children went home with splinters. The location is bad - it's opposite a large heavy vehicles overnight stop - it felt extremely unsafe for us as a family with two children.

Hi Carina,
Ons akkommodasie is ideaal vir gaste wat oornag en die gerief waar ons in die dorp geleë is.
Jy het eers jou balans betaal 3 weke later, na ons jou aanhoudend probeer kontak het in verband met die uitstaande gelde, mag dit moontlik die rede wees vir jou resensie.
Jy is reg dit is 'n ou huis en dit is presies wat op ons webblad staan. Dit is 'n huis wat dateer tot nog voor die Anglo-Boere oorlog waarop ek baie trots is en word daagliks skoon en instand gehou.
Ek, die eienaar, het persoonlik daardie nag tot 02h00, dit is hoelaat julle gesê het julle gaan vertrek, oor julle wag gehou soos wat ek julle vroeër die middag meegedeel het.
Third Rock Gastehuis.

Very nice stay in a clean house with a friendly host
Unfortunately, the location was not the best, but knowing that there is a neighborhood watch, we were more reassured. The house can be provided with a 'caserole' for people who want to barbecue. Furthermore, a lot of attention was given to the beautiful garden.

Interesting experience and a bit of nostalgia.
Ventersburg was a bittersweet experience for us: The beautiful old farmhouse with grandma's porch, combined with a trendy labyrinth for walking, the beautiful 100-year-old NG Church, well maintained, but with few people and little money left on the town since the N1 was laid. We had a wonderful stay in the well-equipped farmhouse with large rooms and mosquito nets over each bed. If you are security conscious this place may not work for you, but for a unique experience of "rural South Africa" they are highly recommended.

Disappointed.
I made a reservation for the "Guest Room" as referenced on Third Rock's page. The photos indicate that this is a room in the main house with an en-suite tidy bathroom. On our arrival at Third Rock this was not the case and we were escorted to our room which is an off-site room. The room itself is semi-acceptable with neat bedding, although not up to the standard of the main house room. But the bathroom leaves a lot to be desired, as the sink and shower (with dirty shower curtain) are such that we didn't use them and couldn't shower after attending a wedding the night before, and furthermore the had towels on her hair. Extremely disappointed in the standard of Third Rock, and the misleading photos.

I just slept over the night on the way to Secunda. Keith and his wife were very helpful and Keith helped me fix my brake lights which were faulty and that in the dark and rain as I checked in later than I had planned. I will definitely stay there again if the opportunity arises. Facilities are very clean and I slept peacefully.

Not at all what I expected based on the pictures.
I booked a fully equipped self-catering room. Upon arrival I was shown to another property and given a room without fridge or aircon. I had to crawl around on the floor to find electric sockets. The TV didn't work. The kettle had to sit on the floor. The table was covered with plastic floor mats. The sink tap in the bathroom was completely loose. The coffee etc. was on an open plate on the table. The coffee bags were very old. When sleeping I had to lie in the centre of the bed to avoid falling off. All day long there was a noise that sounded like someone is banging against something. No information re places to eat was provided.

Hi Serena,
Ek is baie jammer oor die ongerief wat jy ervaar het. Omdat ons vol was het ek besluit om jou by n ander gastehuis te plaas.
Dit was 'n fout waarvoor ek bitter jammer is.
Ek sal jou geld terug betaal. Stuur jou asb besonderhede.
Ek is opreg jammer.
