"Great stop over traveling Jhb to CTPlace was quaint, facilities more than comfortable, location convenient and safe."
"The meals - breaskfast and dinner we requested were good. We stayed in the Swartberg self catering unit across the road which had an enclosed courtyard for our dogs - and a small braai area which we found to be well appointed and excellent. We found the accommodation clean and comfortable - good value for an overnight stay. We stayed for two nights due to a meeting on the Saturday."
"It was nice to have a problem free check in, after a long day's drive. The room was clean and tidy and felt more like being at home than in a guest house. Thank you for making our stay a good experience."
"Very pleasantly surprised by the high level of accommodation of this establishment in Laingsburg. I think Laingsburg will now be our preferred sleep over town on our trips."
"The guest house was clinically clean, with everything available that we needed for a one-night stay. The staff was very friendly and caring and welcomed our small dog in the guest house with loving affection."
"Baie vriendelik ontvang (al was ons baie laat). Kamer netjies, skoon. Vriendelike personeel, dankie! Ons sal dit aanbeveel"
"Rooms were clean + staff were extremely friendly + accommodating. Beds were warm + mattresses very nice."
"We asked for some special services and they were willing and kind."
"Sadly Herambi was a disappointment. The welcome cool to say the least. We were put up in a suite across the road. We had asked for an evening meal & breakfast when we booked. Only to be told on arrival that the owner was too busy & to go to Wimpy.....luckily we found the Laingsburg Country Hotel Restaurant where we had superb service & food. The suite was cold though the beds comfortable. We'll not be staying ther again."
"As always, Herambi (in the past under a different name), has been a place to stay when we were passing through Laingsburg. Strongly recommended for perfect service."
"The Guest House is situated in a quiet part of the town not far from the shopping centre. The person at reception was friendly and very helpful. The bedroom was clean and I enjoyed a peaceful overnight."
"A delightful old world guest house, but with all the modern facilities. A very comfortable and pleasant stop over."
"A really wonderful surprise awaited us at the end the day while we travelled through the Karoo. Such a comfortable room, it was in a beautiful old house with 4m ceilings and a comfortable lounge too. I would definitely go back."
"A delightful cottage with beautiful accommodation. I will definitely stay here again."
"Puik akkommodasie: - Bekostigbare tariewe<br/> - Veilige omgewing<br/> - Baie smaakvol en<br/> netjies<br/> - Vriendelike, bekwame <br/> en behulpsame<br/> personeel <br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"

"Overnight stop here on a long journey and it made a big difference to stay in one of the beautifully kept rooms here. Friendly and helpful service from Jakop. A hot shower and warm, clean and cosy bed makes the long drive so much better. Great value."
"Very good thanks you."
"If you have to stop in Laingsburg, or if you do not want to risk driving on for the day, you could do worse than stopping at this lodge. Clean, pretty homestead in a quiet part away from N1, comfortable and reasonably priced ( apart from the breakfast ). I recommend !"
"We spent one night on our way to Cape Town at Herambi Guest House. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The rooms were immaculate and clean. The house is well maintained and has some fantastic antique furniture in it. The breakfast was fit for a king!!!!Whole family loved it!"
"Nice staff, perfect location, clean, quiet, good breakfast."
"Very considerate to switch on the aircon so that we stepped into warm room late at night"

"Our stay was most enjoyable and the staff members were friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and spacious."
"Na 'n lang pad is dit heerlik om so vriendelik ontvang te word en in so 'n skoon kamer in te stap."
"We really enjoyed our stay at herambi. We arrived late and the staff were understanding and welcoming. Our room was clean well furnished and spacious. The house and garden are beautiful and the breakfast was great. Our only criticism is that our bed was incredibly hard. I would recommend herambi to anyone looking for accommodation in Laingsberg."
"Beautiful guest house, great location, efficient staff, awesome breakfast."
"A house in a quiet street with a nice garden, possibilities to sit outside and private parking-places.But the room was full with old funiture and the bed was really to small for 2 people. (about 1.5 m wide!)At the window there have been an street for ants. And when we take on the light, we habe seen that there are a lot of dead ants, even in the bed. The landlady must have known, that there have been an ant-pest. But when we have noticed that, only a black staffer was avaiable. We had slept in this room after killing the vermins with poisonous spray. No fun!! In the morming there was only the staff. The room was realy too expensive! 550 rand without breakfast. I have had a look in the other rooms next morning. There had been all the same facilities. On a plate outside was wirtten, Room 2pps.400 Rand.We have asked beforehand (e-mail) for the possibility for dinner in the evening, when we arrived. But we have gotten no answer from them.The town is only good for an overnight-stay! There is no reason for high prices.We are not satisfied and we never come back. The guest house is not recommendable!"
"Very comfortable stay. Friendly use of the kitchen as well."
"Easy to find, warm welcome with very comfortable accomodation. Excellent food with great South African hospitality! Very quiet and steeped with tradition. Excellent stop over for onward journey!"
"Baie goeie verblyf met aangenamme ontvangs en goeie verblyf omstandighede."
"A beautifully restored house with lovely period furniture. The owner is very hospitable and friendly."
"We had a lovely time, a pity we only spent one night. I loved the furniture and the stoep. Our room was beautiful and everything was spotless clean. We will definately stay over again soon in the future. Thank you for a lovely and comfortable stay! God bless you in the new year!"
