Karakter en geskiedenis.

Wonderlik en lekker en die kos was great gewees en 'n mens kon lekker kuier in die kroeg saam met Dave en meer leer van die omgewing en die geskiedenis van Rhodes. Ekstra moeite was gedoen met 'n kospakkie vir die volgende oggend voor ons gaan visvang het.

Character and history.

Wonderful and delicious and the food was great and one could have a good time in the bar with Dave and learn more about the environment and the history of Rhodes. Extra effort was made with a packed lunch for the next morning before we went fishing.

Oornag op pad deur die berge.

Eienaar het op versoek 'n heerlike ontbyt ingepak vir ons vroeër vertrek. Hopelik sal ons toekomstig terugkeer en miskien 3 nagte deurbring om die die gebied beter te verken.

Overnight on the way through the mountains.

Owner packed a delicious breakfast upon request for our early departure. Hopefully we will return in the future and maybe spend 3 nights to explore the area better.

We loved our stay. Food was amazing and staff were so welcoming. Would definitely book again.

We had an awesome time in Rhodes. We were only there one night but our hosts were so wonderful. We had drinks and laughs at the bar and an amazing dinner.

Oasis so in ‘n wêreld ver van alles, maar ook so pragtig die ver van alles.

Wou graag weer dié deel van die Oos-Kaap sien na ons 20 jaar gelede daar was. Die natuur was steeds besonders, maar die dorpie is aan die kwyn. Hoop iemand koop die hotel en maak dit weer ‘n goeie kuierplek. Intussen is Walkerbouts rêrig die oornag- en eetplek! Dankie aan Dave en die span, soos ‘n oasis in die afgeleë deel van ons pragtige land!

An oasis in a world far away from everything, but beautiful.

Would like to see this part of the Eastern Cape again after we were there 20 years ago. Nature was still exceptional, but the village is waning. Hope someone buys the hotel and makes it a good place to stay. Meanwhile, Walkerbouts is really the overnight and eatery! Thanks to Dave and the team, as an oasis in the remote part of our beautiful country!

Lovely, rambling inn with an old world feel. A place to relax.

Limited activities for the teens, but we did enjoy the time out. A place to read, sleep, walk and chat. Locals very friendly and you quickly get pulled into the Rhodes community.

Baie interessante plekkie om te besoek.

Die dekor het my terug geneem na ouma en oupa se huis. Die warmkombers 'n plus vir koue aande. Dink die sjef kan 'n meer vriendelike houding inneem teenoor gaste.

The decor took me back to grandma and grandpa's house. The warm blanket a plus for cold evenings. Think the chef could take a more friendly attitude towards guests.

Oase in 'n baie besonderse omgewing.

Walkerbouts het alles wat jy nodig het. In 'n besonderse spesiale, maar baie koue en onherbergsame omgewing is hierdie die oase met vriendelike, professionele personeel, warm komberse en kaggels, heerlike kos, kroegfasiliteite, ens. Spesiale dank aan Iryna vir haar vriendelikheid en pragtige glimlag en Marie wat nie net die lekkerste kos optower nie, maar ook die "mooiste" kos wat ons lanklaas beleef het.

Oasis in a very unique environment.

Walkerbouts has everything you need. In a unique and special but very cold and inhospitable environment is this an oasis with friendly, professional staff, warm blankets and fireplaces, delicious food, bar facilities, etc. A special thanks to Iryna for her friendliness and beautiful smile and Marie who didn't just cook the most delicious food, but also the most beautiful food we've experienced in a long time.

Lekker plattelandse kuier saam met vriende.

Ons het baie van Walkerbouts Inn en sy personeel gehou. Ons is baie hartlik ontvang en het lekker geëet aan hul ontbyt en aandetes. Die kamers was skoon en netjies en ons het snoesig geslaap op ou koperkatels. Ons dink die 2 nagte was dalk te kort om die hele omgewing te kon verken. Daar is baie te sien en te doen.

Nice country visit with friends.

We really liked Walkerbouts Inn and its staff. We were very warmly received and enjoyed their breakfasts and dinners. The rooms were clean and tidy and we slept comfortably on old copper boilers. We think the 2 nights may have been too short to be able to explore the whole area. There is much to see and do.

Moontlik die beste plek in Rhodes as 'n mens nie te veel verwag nie.

Baie behulpsaam en vriendelik. Die akkommodasie is van toeka se dae, maar pas miskien in die omgewing. Die grondpad het een van my bande opgeëis. Steeds 'n lekker ondervinding.

Possibly the best place in Rhodes if one doesn't expect too much.

Very helpful and friendly. The accommodation is dated, but perhaps suits the area. The dirt road claimed one of my tires. Still a nice experience.

All credit to kitchen manager Jean who is the most efficient person in the establishment

Wonderful service & hospitality from the Dining Room/Kitchen manager, Jean. Front of House management was unprofessional and inefficient. The Inn could probably benefit by more involvement from Dave Walker himself. Small things such as hot water in the bathroom & keys to the bedrooms would have made our stay more enjoyable.
