Be Blessed

Be Blessed offers comfortable self-catering accommodation in 7 fully equipped units situated on four plots in the centre of Richmond. Richmond is a town located next to the N1 highway approximately halfway between Cape Town and Gauteng, making it an ideal stopover location.Each unit contains DStv, and Be Blessed offers very nice braai facilities either at the pool, next to your unit, or at a big braai-area in the garden. Because we are fully self-catering we do not offer any meals, however our kitchens are fully equipped...Feel free to visit our fully licenced restaurant, Die Krip, at our other guesthouse in close proximity.Be Blessed is also a pet friendly establishment.Our premises are surrounded by secure walls; we offer secure parking, a swimming pool, and jungle gym for kids, lawns forever, lots of trees and a peaceful garden which totally makes you forget that you are in town. Because we are situated next to the river a variety of birds can also be seen.Richmond is South Africas book town and we are within walking distance from all of Richmond's bookshops and the country's only Saddle Horse Museum.

Reviews

  • "An oasis"

    17 December 2019

    "We were delighted with our 2 units that we booked. It is a little oasis for a traveler. We had everything we needed for our stay overnight. We loved watching the Paradise Flycatcher attacking the cat. It is a beautiful bird and to awaken to its call is simply wonderful. Thank you for your hospitality."

  • "Cold."

    12 August 2019

    "We wont be recommending. The place was extremely cold & appeared if it had not been used for a long time and shut up for a while. It took 3 hours of fan heaters to warm up. There seems to be insufficient electric sockets in the accommodation so there are many extension leads running everywhere to appliances which was quite worrying."

  • "Beautiful garden"

    03 January 2018

    "We were welcomed so warmly and had a great stay. Sadly our visit to their own restaurant Krip wasn't so wonderful.Its a lovely place to eat with great decor. However after ordering our food at 7:30pm, we waited 90 minutes for our food to arrive after asking multiple times where it was. After an hour we were told sorry the veggies we ordered were now finished. When food did eventually arrive, our bobotie was cold, so not sure why we waited till 9pm for cold food when it must of been made and prepared during the day already.There was no manager around and just seemed incredibly unorganised, with us having to keep asking what is going on. Our bill was also wrong and with some investigation there were extra drinks on a handwritten tab which wasn't even our name. I would probably stay here again, but will probably find another place to eat."

  • "Nice"

    19 March 2015

    "Be Blessed was a lovely place to stay. The people was friendly. Although, Richmond town is not a great place. When we arrived everything was closed. The only place that was open is a convenience store at the garage. After a 7 hour trip we had to settle for pies. Be Blessed was definitely the highlight of the town."

  • "Delightful stay in Booktown Richmond"

    07 January 2015

    "Be Blessed was a jewel! The unit was spacious, beautifully furnished and clean. We did not meet our hosts as they were on leave, but Hans was awaiting us and saw us to our unit. The kind of establishment that we would bookmark for future stays."

  • "Pleasant"

    30 December 2014

    "The stay was pleasant - comfortable accommodation, however the owners were away and Hans was left in charge - he recommended Die Krip Restaurant which was absolutely awful - put a damper on the stay."
