The best hospitality in a gorgeous setting.

The most outstanding hospitality from Hilda and Jasper! They made every effort to accommodate our family, moving beds and making plans even before our arrival. The setting is exquisite, and by far, the best breakfast I've ever had at a B&B. Everything has been thought of, and it is close enough to the town to be well-located, but also very quiet and peaceful. Will definitely return some day.

Ons moes op kort kennisgewing verblyf soek.

Ons was in die Kgalagadi toe ons weens 'n ongeval dadelik in Upington by die hospitaal moes uitkom. Binne 30 minute het ons vir vier volwassenes verblyf gekry by die Waterfront Guesthouse. Jasper het ons vriendelik ontvang, selfs 'n kaggelvuur aangehad teen die koue. Die ontbyt was ook uit die boonste rakke, die personeel vriendelik en gasvry. Ek sal sonder om te skroom Waterfront Guesthouse aanbeveel.

We had to look for accommodation at short notice.

We were in the Kgalagadi when we had to get to the hospital in Upington immediately due to an accident. Within 30 minutes we found accommodation for four adults at the Waterfront Guesthouse. Jasper received us kindly, even had a fire in the fireplace against the cold. The breakfast was also top notch, the staff friendly and hospitable. I would recommend Waterfront Guesthouse without hesitation.

Voel tuis. Sal beslis weer by hulle tuis gaan.

Dit was 'n oase langs die rivier na 'n lang dag op die pad. Almal baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Hulle ontbyt was 'n groot treffer.

So goed en lekker dat ons dit 'n gereelde verblyf-opsie sal maak!

Ek en drie besigheidsvennote is bederf met gasvryheid, heerlike maaltye en wegneem middagete-pakkies vir ons lang reis verder. Die rustigheid en mooi omgewing was goed vir ons. Kliëntediens en sorgsaamheid is uitstekend. Ons maak weer so!

Pragtige ligging en vriendelike mense.

Waterfront Guest House is op regtig op die oewer. Die rivier is nie signbaar vanuit die kamers nie (behalwe vir Kamer 4), maar die buite kuierarea en die eetkamer is teen die water. Dis pragtig! En so 'n rustige atmosfeer. Brunhilda het soos blits op my navraag reageer en op elke boodskap daarna. Brunhilda en haar span is baie vriendelik, gasvry en hulpvaardig. Ons het daar oorgeslaap oppad Weskus toe. Dit was so aangenaam, ons het besluit om op die terugkeer sommer weer daar te oornag. Ons sal enige tyd weer daar oornag.

Beautiful location and friendly people.

Waterfront Guest House is really on the waterfront. The river is not visible from the rooms (except for Room 4), but the outdoor living area and the dining room face the water. It's beautiful! And such a peaceful atmosphere. Brunhilda responded like lightning to my inquiry and to every message after that. Brunhilda and her team are very friendly, hospitable and helpful. We slept there on the way to the West Coast. It was so pleasant, we decided to spend the night there again on the way back. We would stay there again anytime.

Fantastiese gasvryheid, uitstekende ligging, uitstaande kliëntediens!

Brunhilde en haar span het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons verblyf so aangenaam moontlik te maak. Die tuin, geriewe, swembad was baie netjies onderhou en dit was 'n plesier om daar te kon bly. Die ligging was fantasties - alhoewel mens in Upington is voel dit asof jy op 'n plaas is, baie stil en rustig. Dit was 'n voorreg om op die oewer van die Qranjerivier te kon ontspan en die natuur en sonsondergang te kon waardeer.

Great hospitality, great location, outstanding customer service!

Brunhilde and her team went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The garden, facilities, swimming pool were very neatly maintained and it was a pleasure to be able to stay there. The location was fantastic - even though you are in Upington it feels like you are on a farm, very quiet and peaceful. It was a privilege to be able to relax on the banks of the Qranje River and appreciate the nature and sunset.

Teleurgestel.

Gasheer baie aangenaam, gasvrou kort 'n vakansie, gee bevele aan personeel terwyl sy in gesprek is met jou. Kamers baie skoon en netjies, kamerdeur moet reggestel word en toiletdeur te klein vir deuropening. Bed baie goed, asook die stort. Personeel kort goeie opleiding en finesse. Ontbyt die groot teleurstelling. Eers geen koffie, toe koue koffie, toe flóú koffie, ondrinkbaar. Personeel argumenteer hieroor instede daarvan om dit reg the stel! Spek kliphard, eier glad nie wat bestel is nie, konfyt in klein kommersiële pakkies, lekker tuisgemaakte konfyt ontbreek. Rit op rivier was baie aangenaam en onverwags. .

Disappointed.

Host very pleasant, hostess needs a vacation, gives orders to staff while talking to you. Rooms very clean and tidy, room door needs fixing and toilet door too small for doorway. Bed very good, as well as the shower. Staff lack good training and finesse. Breakfast the big disappointment. First no coffee, then cold coffee, then weak coffee, undrinkable. Staff argue about this instead of fixing it! Bacon rock hard, egg not at all what was ordered, jam in small commercial packets, nice homemade jam missing. Ride on river was very pleasant and unexpected. .
