A Stunning, Serene Gem in Kloof

Staying at Southey House was a superb experience! My hosts were friendly & kind - always willing to assist. By chance, I met with the proprietor of this establishment - Like her staff, she was ultra friendly & inquired about my stay experience. I informed her that the parking was a bit tight for more than 3 vehicles - she however assured me that there are plans to expand. Southey House is located in a dead-ended street, leading to a security entrance of a nearby college - I guess this contributed to the reduced traffic & quietness. The view out of the Karoo Room was stunning & contributed to the atmosphere of serenity. My room was virtually a suite - sufficient for a couple to enjoy in comfort. The breakfast included a nice selection of the usual cereals, breads, spreads, yoghurt - the fruit salad, however varied daily: one day included guava, another day berries... it was these special touches, along with the staff's attitude towards client service, that will draw me back to Southey House on my next trip to the Pinetown area. Thank you so much for a great experience!
