Outstanding and highly recommended

I would highly recommend the Whyte House. What a little slice of heaven in the middle of the Karoo. Great friendly staff, incredible breakfasts and super spacious and comfortable rooms. The outside area and swimming pool was the highlight. We will be back.

Eigenartig

Die von uns für 3 Nächte gebuchte „Luxury Suite“ wollte man uns erst gar nicht geben, weil sie um den von uns bei hotels.com bezahlten Preis nicht zu haben ist. Erst nach der Vorlage unserer Buchung und den darin enthaltenen Bildern war der Besitzer bereit, sie uns zu überlassen; sie war aber nur für 2 Tage verfügbar; sie hat eine etwas eigenartige Einrichtung mit einer Toilette, die zum Schlafbereich hin nur durch eine seitliche Trennwand abgeteilt ist, aber weder Türe noch Vorhanh hat. Die sonstige Einrichtung ist sehr bequem. Die Küchenzeile existiert zwar aber mit nur 3 Tellern und einigen Gabeln. Wollte man etwas kochen, müsste man das Geschirr vermutlich selbst mitbringen. Die Übersiedelung in eines der anderen Zimmer kam für uns für die 3. Nacht nicht in Frage, weshalb wir vorzeitig weitereisten. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig und der Garten recht nett, der Pool aber nicht ganz sauber, weil an einem Baum unmittelbar daneben zahlreiche Webervögel nisten.

10/10 Excellent

Kleines Paradies

Wir haben uns sofort wohlgefühlt! Die Zimmer sind großzügig und stylisch, der Garten ruhig und paradiesisch. Vom Pool aus kann man die Webervögel in ihren Nestern beobachten. Rob ist ein hilfsbereiter und sehr netter Vermieter. ALLES TOP

Leuk B&B, behulpzame gastheer, goede ligging.

Vrij nieuw, gunstig, maar rustig, gelegen B&B in Graaff Reinet. Mooie binnentuin. Zwembad (waar helaas ook honden in mogen zwemmen: niet zo hygiënisch). Veilig parkeren op eigen grond. Goed ontbijt. Zeer behulpzame eigenaar/gastheer die met je mee denkt en goede suggesties doet. Goede restaurants op loopafstand. Valley of Desolation op een kwartiertje met de auto. Nespresso-apparaat op de kamer.
