Fantasic

Reviewed By Destination770113

I think all the reviews say it all, as an ex-hotelier in London, this place is spot on & value for money. The rooms are beaulifully appointed, they contain everything that you would want. Bathroom was lovely with all 5 Star supplies. It is winter now & the hotel supplied us with a log fire, turned down the beds with Chocatlate & hotwater bottles, which was a very nice touch. The breakfast was too many courses, but of high quality. They even cleaned the car in the morning, I had not requested this service!

We really enjoyed our stay hat Aan de Ever Guesthouse. The restuarant was a big plus. The food was really great and the breakfast left nothing to be desired. The rooms were super clean and nicely furnished. We had a very good time.

Kwetu Guest Farm

We re running a small game farm on 87 hectares with a few giraffes, bontebok, springbok, eland, wildebeest,reebok, sables, kudu, steenbok, water buck and much more. A haven for wildlife with stunning views. Our 3 cottages offer our guests privacy and we guarantee you will see game during your visit. Fishing in full season at the farm. Guaranteed to catch something at the middle dam or the first bottle wine is on us! :) We also encourage you to walk or cycle the farm. We've built up some stunning picnic areas, ideal for sunsets. Families with kids, and lovers of nature are our favorite guests. Children get a chance to experience normal farm life at the bottom of the farm if they wish, and the green folks are welcome to collect their own veggies if they wish to do so. Permaculture and water conservation are a big part of our philosophy, and we try as best we can, to preserve the local ecosystem. We've done many mistakes on our farm, and we will make many more:)

Amazing locatio

Kwetu Guest Farm is a wonderful place to stay. We did two drives over the farm and saw so many animals (Springboks, Bunteboks, Gnus, Steenboks and Giraffes) and the apartment is very cozy. We can absolutely recommend staying there!

Reviewed By pwissd730792

Your place is worth a visit. Especially because of the garden. The room was neat, had all necessary and the host very friendly. A strong point to stay at this place is the location. It has a special parking area away from the street. The house is also some way from the street.
