Still an easy place to stay.
The room (1) was upstairs with a shared balcony. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom with 2 sinks was easy. Well there was one not very pleasant air. We struggled with the plugs for the kettle. There is a lot of noise from long-distance traffic on the road. The breakfast was not extensive if you don't want to eat eggs. The services were good. Still recommendable due to the convenient location.

It was nice - nice restaurant walking distance.
It was neat and clean. This is very important to me. The room is but small. Walk-in closet area helped a lot - could at least store a few things there - so it's not in the room itself. All that I will really pay attention to - because the room is so small and there is no place to sit and relax - I will make the outside area - just outside the room a bit neater and cleaner and more convenient for the clients to be able to sit and relax. I will pay attention to that.

1. There was a lot of vehicle noise in the evening which made it difficult to sleep. 2. Although the unit was tidy, the garden was neglected and dirty. 3. We left one day early and they were not willing to do any refund. 4. The TV only had 4 channels.

Goeie dag Roelof, ongelukkig het u deur die besprekings platform vir 4 nagte bespreek en klaar betaal. Indien u vroeër wil uitboek, kan ons nie geld teruggee nie. Daai kamer was op die sisteem vir 4 nagte uitgeboek en ons het n kansellasie polis. Wat die tuin aan betref, dis windwaai maande en die bome se blare en blomme waai af. My huishoudsters vee elke dag en tel blare op, maar dis moeilik met die sterk winde wat ons beleef het die afgelope tyd. Jammer daarvoor maar die weer is buite ons beheer, asook motors wat in die pad ry. Groete Charmaine

Overnight back to Johannesbsurg.
The guest lodge is beautiful. It really feels like you are stepping back in time. The room is beautiful and well equipped for an overnight stay. Our hostess was very nice and unlocked for us even though we arrived late. The lodge is directly opposite the Kimberley hole - you can't ask for more. If I come to Kimberley again, I will definitely stay at Victorian Guest Lodge again.

Entrance to the guest house is somewhat of a risk. The road is very busy and you have to wait for the gate to be opened. In our case, we had to wait a long time and make a few calls. If you wait in front of the gate, your car is still in the way of oncoming traffic. Otherwise the stay was very nice. Slept well.

Christian, dit was baie lekker om julle as ons gaste te kon hê. Jammer vir die lang wag by die hek, maar daar is n klokkie by die ontvangs hekkie wat gaste moet druk as hul inboek. Ontvangs was nie bewys van julle by die motorhek nie. Nietemin is ons bly julle het lekker gebly. Julle is altyd welkom. Groete uit Kimberley.

Sufficient for one night's sleepover.
Friendly welcome and was upgraded to honeymoon suite as there was a police conference next door and the noise in the street in front of the house was less audible upstairs. Room and bathroom clean and equipped with what one needs. Location good for visiting Groot Gat and museum, but have to drive to places to eat.
