  • "Lovely gem"

    11 May 2015

    "We had the queen bedroom at the end of the accommodation, nearest to the road - This made no difference to our quality of sleep. The location was a little further outside of Colesberg centre, which made for a nice change and everything was only a minute or less drive away. Betsy was wonderful and gave us a very warm welcome. The interior decor, architecture and gardens were tuned to perfection. We felt very spoiled. Her rusks were a lovely touch to our complimentary morning coffee. We've visited Colesberg in the past and wanted to know of a few different places to eat out other than the Plattelander and Bordeaux. Betsy recommended JCs which was fantastic. JCs Pizza and Steak fillet were perfectly cooked and the vibe was a local one. All in all very satisfied."
