Quaint and comfortable.

The host was very responsive and helpful with providing braai wood, etc. The flatlets were very well appointed, and we had a lovely time there.

Oorslaap op pad terug na Johannesburg vanaf Hartenbos.

Wat 'n verrassing! Die gastehuis is pragtig en baie netjies ingerig. Aandag is gegee aan klein besonderhede, bv. sagte wit handdoeke en kamerjasse. Ek sal die gastehuis beslis aanbeveel.

Overnight on the way back to Johannesburg from Hartenbos.

What a surprise! The guest house is beautiful and very neatly furnished. Attention was paid to small details, e.g. soft white towels and dressing gowns. I would definitely recommend the guest house.

Die informele tuin, vars lakens en handdoeke en baie sterk stort was soos 'n welkome oase na die lang reis deur die dorre Vrystaatse vlaktes.

Our stay was a very pleasant surprise for all of us as we were not expecting such a great stay.

The guest house was a great and pleasant surprise for us all as we did not expect to find such a neat, well-run guest house where it is situated in Springfontein. The owners went out of their way to look after our needs and we ended up having a braai using their facilities which they put at our disposal at no additional cost as we supplied our own meat. The rooms were very clean and neat and very comfortable, so we had a very welcome rest before continuing our journey. 10 stars.

Springfontein House was pretty, charming and welcoming.

The meals were generous and tasty. The new hosts were warm and friendly and eager to please. Our room was comfortable and attractive. Our one issue was with the little town itself which is in a terrible state - dilapidated, dingy and utterly depressing. But that is nothing to do with Springfontein House!

I'm extremely sorry however that there was a misunderstanding over the price of dinner. This has been rectified in the automatic response so will not happen again. It's a pity that you didn't mention the discrepancy at the time which would have allowed me to change your bill.

Gem of Springfontein.

As always Graham was at the gate to welcome you with a smile. The garden is absolutely beautifully kept and a wonderful oasis to relax in after a hard drive. As usual, dinner was magnificent and plates were practically licked clean. The room was very comfortable and we slept well under crisp clean linen. Not my first visit and certainly not my last. Thanks Graham for this little gem in the middle of nowhere.

Die gastehuis is leefbaar en redelik netjies, maar te duur vir wat jy kry.

Ons het lekker oornag maar daar is 'n paar probleme, die stortkop van die bad spuit in alle rigtings, so jy kan nie jou hare behoorlik was of natmaak nie. Die bad-plankie val uitmekaar met spykers wat gevaarlik uitsteek. Die etes wat aangebied word is ook nie waarde vir geld nie, 'n bordjie poeding kos R50pp. Die plek is strategies goed geleë.

The guest house is livable and quite tidy, but too expensive for what you get.

We had a nice overnight stay but there are some problems, the shower head of the bath sprays in all directions, so you can't wash or wet your hair properly. The bath plank is falling apart with dangerously protruding nails. The meals offered are also not value for money, a plate of pudding costs R50pp. The place is strategically well located.

Die gasheer het uit sy pad gegaan om ons te help! Rustige, gesellige blyplek.

Ons was baie laat vir die aandete, aangesien ons teëspoed op pad gehad het. Ons gasheer was gereed om ons nog met heerlike warm kos te ontvang. Hy was baie bedagsaam. Die huis en tuin is gesellig en die interieur uiters smaakvol. Dit het gehelp om 'n lekker nagrus te kon kry na 'n baie lang dag.

The host went out of his way to help us! Quiet, cosy place to stay.

We were very late for dinner, as we had trouble on our way. But our host was ready to receive us with delicious, hot food. He was very considerate. The house and garden are cosy and the interior extremely tasteful. It helped to get a good night's rest after a very long day.

Graham went out of his way to be hospitable and helpful. He and his staff offer top-class service - and he pours one of the best gin and tonics in the country!

Ideal location for us, mid-way between Cape Town and Hilton. Springfontein Guest House is a quiet haven of peace on the very edge of the little "dorp" with glorious sunset views over the veld. The meals are delicious and the catering and decor are traditionally warm and lavish, in an appealingly old-fashioned way.

Baie elegante gastehuis en ‘n uiters sorgsame en professionele gasheer.

Jammer oor die verwaarloosde dorp, maar dis seker nie die skuld van die gastehuis nie.

Baie smaakvolle en huislike gastehuis met 'n pragtige tuin. Ons het sommer gou tuis gevoel.

Die gastehuis is baie goed geleë. Ons het van die Oos- Kaap af gereis na Mpumalanga. So dit was so halfpad gewees.

Die ligging Kaapstad of Suid-Kaap toe is baie goed en diens was 'n goeie balans van vriendelik en effektief met geurige etes.

Baie goeie ligging en die eienaar was vriendelik sonder om te oorbeurend te wees. Die aandete was geurig, asook die ontbyt. Hulle het 'n dranklisensie en wyn is dus beskikbaar met aandete. Dekor in die kamers, sowel as die huis, is mooi met interessante oudhede en skoon. Sal beslis weer daar bly.

The location to Cape Town or Southern Cape is very good and service was a good balance of friendly and efficient with flavorful meals.

Very good location and the owner was friendly without being overbearing. The dinner was fragrant, as was the breakfast. They have a liquor license and so wine is available with dinner. Decor in the rooms, as well as the house, is nice with interesting antiques and clean. Will definitely stay there again.

Lovely English charm

Ons was 4 weke op die pad en hierdie was definitief die grootste verrassing. Die eienaar is baie sjarmant en het duidelik 'n flair vir dit wat hy doen by sy gastehuis. Ons kan dit sterk aanbeveel. Sal definitief weer oornag.

Sal my volgende roete Kaap toe weer so beplan dat ons weer hier kan oorbly!

Graham is die perfekte gasheer met 'old English charm' in sy hoofgebou, etiket en voorkoms. Dit was 'n voorreg om hom te leer ken - volgende keer sal ons langer bly net om tyd in sy biblioteek en formele sitkamer te kan deurbring. Die aandete van 3 gange was uit die boonste rakke en die verblyf in die tuin was van die beste wat ons nog gehad het (en ons is deurwinterde vankansiegangers deur die hele land). Ons sal weer in die winter gaan, want die kaggelvuur was spesiaal. Ons het padkos in plaas van 'n aansit-ontbyt gevra en al was daar geen verrassings in ons pakkie nie, was dit wat ons gehad het, meer as genoeg, vars en tuisgemaak. Selfs die personeel wat ons in die sitkamer bedien het, was warm en 'n plesier om mee te gesels. Ons het met die terugkomslag net 50 km van Springfontein af by Gariepdam oorgeslaap en die teenstelling met Springfontein was net een te veel. Dit was netjies, skoon en vriendelike diens, maar as ons geweet het wat ons nou weet, het ons weer by Springfontein gebly. Voorwaar 'n aanwins vir julle boeke! Ons het tydens ons vakansie van 3 weke by 7 verskillende gastehuise/selfsor-eenhede tuisgegaan en niemand kom naby hierdie plek nie! Die dorpie is al ietwat vervalle en ek dink dis die rede hoekom ons sedert 1982 toe ons jaarlikse vakansies begin het, nog nooit gevoel het om daar oor te bly nie.

Will definitely stay here on our next route to Cape Town.

It was really amazing! Clean and friendly service. We stayed at 7 different places on our holiday of 3 weeks, but this one was the best! The town is quite old which might have been the reason why we have never stayed here before on our yearly holiday.

Baie teleurstellend.

Ek sal nie hierdie gastehuis aanbeveel nie. My redes is dat die gasheer ons nie ontvang het nie, die huis het 'n paar interessante meubelstukke en kunsstukke maar is verwaarloos en benodig baie restorasie. Die badkamer was moeg en die matrasse deurgeslaap, en ons lugversorging was buite werking. Aandete was smaakloos, alhoewel die tafels mooi gedek was.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Very disappointing.

I would not recommend this guest house. My reasons are that the host did not receive us, the house has some interesting pieces of furniture and art but is neglected and needs a lot of restoration. The bathroom was tired and the mattresses slept through, and our air conditioning was out of order. Dinner was tasteless, although the tables were nicely set.

I am sorry that you consider it necessary to continue to complain about your visit to my Guest House.
Yes, I was absent when you visited: a very rare event and a fact of which you had been appraised before arriving and indeed acknowledged by you in your original complaint to TripAdvisor more than two weeks ago. Over the years my Staff have proven that they are more than able to cope on their own.
We have an ongoing program of maintenance and repair and I am sorry you feel that you were exposed to parts of the House you thought should have already received attention.
Everybody's bed requirements differ and I will certainly keep your comments under close scrutiny.
As previously explained, the air-conditioning unit only needed a new battery which the staff would have provided immediately had they been informed.
Thank you for your remarks as we appreciate everybody's comments as they encourage us to strive to satisfy our guests and improve where necessary.
