I travel to George every 6 weeks for work, so the really friendly staff make me feel right at home with my packed lunches for work and plenty of milk in the fridge for my cups of tea in the evening. This time my Dad came with me - he is from the UK. While I was working, everybody really... More

We had two lovely and very spacious rooms at this quaint B&B. The weather was terrible so the very friendly staff helped us find local things to do with the children. Breakfast was served outside and was very good. The staff even e-mailed to let us know we had left something behind (luckily we were able to pop back on... More

We spent three delightful nights here on a trip round South Africa. The welcome and consistent attention were only surpassed by the genuine friendliness of all of the staff. The rooms were spotless, comfortable and spacious. We did not really want for anything at all. The pool deck was lovely, the breakfast superb. The staff pointed us in the direction... More
