"A really warm and friendly environment, with spacious accommodation. The food was absolutely terrific! Staff were very attentive, helpful and super efficient. We played golf, and the tennis court was in good condition. A great place to stop for a few days when exploring the Northern Cape."

"Both mornings I went to breakfast. Very poor, no notifications if the meat served was pork, mutton, beef or what. Scrambled eggs blue No cutlery No stirrers Platters empty Tables and chairs with left over food on. The kitchen staff just non chalant. Cant believe I pay so much for this poor service. Truly disgusted"

"This hotel is fantastic to look at, plenty of character. There are a number of positive and negatives from our perspective. First observation was no one in reception when we arrived at 5pm, the door was locked, I waited 10 minutes. The receptionist gave me the key and said your room is in that direction, there are no signs for room numbers. Not a good check in experience. The room however was lovely, big and spacious with a good aircon fitted and large tv. The bed was very comfortable and we both slept well. I did as reception for a second set of towels as only one set in room, an hour later I went back and asked again. A big plus of this hotel is the restaurants adjoining the hotel, we ate at the Fat Greek. Breakfast was a disaster, I went in at 09:15 there was no service, no tea or coffee, no breakfast for toast, no pastries and one dried out egg. I asked a lady for 2 fried eggs, after 15 minutes I left without breakfast. I rate the room 5 but service 1… we left disappointed. Management need to get a grip on poor service!"

"What a jewel. Most beautiful rooms, 5 star and so neat and clean. Excellent service! Friendly staff, great food. I will strongly recommend Die Olyfhuis. The owner went out of her way to accommodate me on short notice. It was a pleasure to stay at DIe Olyfhuis. Thank you Joy and team for going the extra mile. It is valued."

"We stopped in Jan Kempdorp on our way back to Capetown from the West Rand, and were very pleasantly surprised when we found this beautiful old restored hotel in the middle of nowhere. Beautifullly appointed rooms with a small restaurant downstairs. Everything we needed for a one night stop over"

"The hotel is very safe, with a shopping mall and various restaurants nearby. However, you'll need a car to get around, and it's not advisable to walk on the main roads."

"Based on a fond past experience of about 14 years ago, we decided to stay over again as we travelled through. Based on the rates charged in comparison to other 4 star hotels in town, we expected our experience to be matched with the previous time we had been here. What a total let down. It is actually a disgrace to say the least. It is evident that the hotel in its entirety is in dire need of maintenance and upkeep and a refurbishment, but at the very least a thorough scrub and deep clean of everything - linen included. Every soft furnishing is stained. Wall paint peels from damp damage. We moved rooms 3 times in search of one with a working air conditioner. The last time we moved, they offered to bring our luggage. We waited more than an hour and then enquired about it, when the receptionist admitted she had forgotten. Phones in the rooms are not operational. Coffee and tea have not been checked and stocked in the rooms. We had a nice dinner - but costly and very slow service considering we were only 4 people in the restaurant. I will definitely not come back again. It is an utter shame that a place with so much history is in this condition. At the very least, keep it clean. Is that too much to ask??"

"Easy to find and easy to communicate with householder very spacious appartement with cable tv and access to the movies, there is everything for cooking the house is African style with wood roof and furniture, quite cosy"

"We were celebrating our anniversary, and the staff here went all out to make it special, in a short space of time, and it was clean and beautiful. And the breakfast was superb, and we really enjoyed it"
