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.
"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."
"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."
"I loved the peace and quite, and the efficiency with which my booking was dealt."
"Welcoming restful and safe environment."
"Everything was fine"
"Loved everything....friendliness, good value for money..people in Richmond warmhearted...especially Janine from Vetmuis Pkaaskombuis and Johan from Museum"
"It is a huge place. Very beautiful and nice to stay. Saag is a friendly man. I will recommend this place to stay."
"My family had a wonderful stop-over on the way to CPT, really found the stay restful and in a beautiful surrounding."
"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."
"Location and country town"
"We enjoyed our stay at this pet friendly establishment. Lovely green garden to relax in. Boas was a great friend to our 2 dogs. Friendly host (Shaun)."
"Enjoyed everything. Have recommended it on fb."
"It was wonderful place for the halfway stop, very peaceful, will stay here again"
"Thanks for accommodating my parents with his sickness and extending their stay with a day, reception was friendly and welcoming, my mother commented "what a beautiful place this is" ! Thanks Sumi, I appreciate it and will definitely book again for them."
"Great stopover in Richmond"
"Lovely place to stay."
"Was absolutely perfect for our overnight stay"
"We have stayed at Be Blessed twice before, and this year we needed to change our travel date close to the time of arrival. Sumi was kind enough to move us to another unit, which was again clean and neat. I will gladly recommend this establishment"
"Excellent value for money, room excellently furnished."
"Value for money, lovely little town, had supper in Krip Teater, had a good time."
"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."
"Nice place.Everything clean.After a long drive from Pretoria the pool was most welcome.The restaurant linked to Be Blessed was informal but the food was good and relatively inexpensive.Will definitely use Be Blessed again"
"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."
"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."
