19 December 2020"We booked for 3 adults and a child and the hosts told us that we didn't. We had to pay an additional R100. I was in a hurry to leave so I paid it. When I checked later, I saw that my booking was correct and that I paid R100 more than what my booking was for."

"Pitstop"
08 January 2017"Wonderlike gastehuis om te oornag. John en Esme is ongelooflik gasvry. Op 'n warm Desemberaand en 'n lang dag op die pad, was 'n glasie wyn net die regte lafenis. Ons sal defnitief weer daar oornag as ons die pad vat Kaap toe vanaf Oos-Londen.<br/>Rooiskool groete<br/>Amanda en Derick Smit. (Marile en Simone)"

"EXCEPTIONAL Personal Service"
23 December 2013"We stayed one night at Bougain-Villa. Their photo on the SafariNow website does not do justice to the building. It is a very beautiful old house. The rooms and beds were clean and our children played in the garden. Esme and John were extremely friendly and helpful. The town is very charming. Great place!"
