A welcome break in a beautiful part of our country, meeting wonderful new people
Pros:

The location was the perfect spot for an overnight stay, although now I would like to spend a few more nights. Accommodation was made for our late arrival, and we were served a most delicious meal. Really enjoyed meeting the wonderful owners, Werner, Bernadett and Michael. We were also packed a breakfast meal as we needed an early departure. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and decor of the hotel too.

Cons:

I did not see a hairdryer in the room, but it was far too early for me to ask for one

Enjoyable
Pros:

The quirkiest accommodation we have ever stayed at. Difficult to describe the old worldly charm. The hosts (Bernadette and Werner) were super friendly and welcoming. Lovely to hear the history of the hotel from them. Wishing them everything of the best with the alterations and plans especially with the recent floods which closed Meiringspoort having such an effect on the town.

If you want to experience something different wit characta, this is the place.
Pros:

Werner is a fantastic host. We could park our bike in his garage. The next day he came with us on his one bike and show us some great places, the waterfall and a very special cafe. Afterwards he came with us on a gravel road. Great guy!

Pros:

We were a group of friends who bike packed through town, and the hosts were very accommodating and friendly, and even helped us plan out our routes for the following day. Facilities were better than expected, and a great atmosphere with other guests too. Will highly recommend.
