Guestbook and Reviews

 We stayed here for almost a week and it was wonderful. Our apartment was very spacious with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The terrace overlooking the garden was fantastic. The garden is beautifully maintained and there is a lovely pool. The owners are very friendly and the location is excellent. Definitely recommended and worth repeating. Frian Kat, Google review

This guest house is well located for visitors to Helderberg Village being about a kilometer or two distant. There are shops and a coffee shop also quite nearby.
The guest house has well maintained buildings consisting of a large single storey house and a seperate outbuilding with a set of rooms. The landscaped garden is well kept and neat. There is a sparkling swimming pool with outdoor furniture for use by guests. There are open and covered parking parking places. Internally the many rooms are furnished and well equipped. In the main house there is a large well equiped kitchen with attached dining area. There is also a well furnished lounge area equiped with a large screen television set. Our stay was pleasant and represented good value for money. Henry Jensen Google review
