  11 December 2018

  "We were received by a very friendly gentleman who showed us to our room and also mentioned where we could get a quick dinner! Inni Kraal turned out to be great as well. The room at Nanna Rous was clean and spacious. My only comment is that the towels were terrible, I would really suggest in investing in a few new towels."

  25 September 2018

  "We were relocating from Durban and this place proved a great half way stop between Durban and Cape Town albeit in a bit of a run down town that looked abit dodgy but turned out perfectly safe. The owners were very friendly and even accomendated our two cats that were traveling with us. Rooms were neat and tidy and very comfortable with full Dstv. Would definitely recommend."

• "Bitterly disappointed"

  11 December 2017

  "The Chapel room was dark and airless. I was overcharged by R300 per person. I don't mind paying R1500 for a room if it is worth it and there are good facilities, but when it is a miserable dingy place then I am not happy. No window and no extractor in the bathroom. Only 1 little window opens.so there is no air circulation. 2 fans helped give some relief.The ceiling fan has no switch. Bed linen looked old and grey. If I had paid R700 for the room then I would have accepted the room but definitely not worth R1500. No manager on duty."

  "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Nanna Rous Town House.<div><br /></div><div>The room was clean and nicely decorated. There was ample coffee and tea and they had the DSTV compact which I feel makes a huge difference when after a day of travelling you just want to chill and watch TV. The bathroom was kitted out with soap and hand cream.<div><br /></div><div>The breakfast was tasty and the service was excellent.</div><div><br /></div><div>There was adequate parking which was behind a secure gate which made us feel more comfortable.</div></div>"

  "<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;">I had made numerous calls prior to our arrival to ensurethat all was in order for our late arrival however even though i again called10mins before arrival, we had to wait outside at 11pm for almost 20minsfor someone to open the gate.</span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;">We were eventually greeted by a lady who was unsure aboutthe bookings. We where placed in a room with one single bed and was expected tosleep 4 adults there. At this point of numerous questions, she could not ensure us accommodation.</span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;">It was just after midnight that we were allowed to move to adifferent room. </span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"></span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;">This was still not the correct accommodation we booked buthad no choice to rest there for the night.</span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;">I think this was of poor standing and i would not recommendyour accommodation to others due to my experience there.</span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"></span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;">To date I have sent numerous emails to the owners to which no one bothers to respond.

  18 December 2014

  "Everything was so nice and clean and the breakfast was really tasty. The only thing I was deeply and utterly dissatisfied with was the useless little wall in the driveway.

• "Great stay"

  20 May 2013

  "We had a great stay at Nanna Rous. Rosy and Kennith was very friendly and welcoming, just what you want after a long drive. Our room was big, clean, warm and cosy in a very cold Colesberg! They were very accommodating with our dog too. We had a delicious meal at Bordeaux Restaurant in town. The next morning Kennith quickly helped us get someone to fix our punctured tyre whilst we had a delicious English breakfast that Rosy (a superstar) made. A special thanks to Rosy who did our booking, took my phone calls, emails, checked us in and made breakfast! You are wonderful! We will definitely recommend you to all our friends and make use of you in the future!"
