Castle Guest House is surrounded by mountains and wild life, and boasts 11 spacious rooms. All rooms are en-suite and include DStv, air-conditioning, hairdryers, a minibar fridge, and tea and coffee facilities. Rates are inclusive of a full English breakfast as well as a cold South African buffet. For guests' relaxation, we have a sparkling pool and evening meals are also catered for.
Doornhoek nestles on the mountain slopes of Hekpoort, which is just north west of Johannesburg. There are many farms around as the town borders the North West Province, making this a beautiful landscape to enjoy.
"SWIMMING POOL WAS AN VIEW."
"My husband and I wanted to stay close to both Thabazimbi and Marakele National Park. The guesthouse is ideally situated as it is about 3 km outside of town, and about 13 km from Marakele. It's very quiet and peaceful. It was hot as hell and at first our aircon didn't work very well, but after telling the manager she sorted it out for us. I do think that R900 a night is a lot for what you're getting, but we had a lovely stay nonetheless. The warm breakfasts were delicious and the manager, Elna, is a gem."
"Had all that I needed. Thank you."
"Excellent service and welcome environment. Really great spacious room/suite overlooking the pool.Well recommended as a base for exploring the area."
"We were dissapointed because the safari now google map indicated that castle guest house is located outside thabazimbi away from the town. We wanted to experience the bushveld. The banners of castle guest house in the town also gave wrong directions. It took us a long time to find the place. The double room we got had only one towel , one mug and coffee/tea for one. The tap of the shower was broken. The blinds in the bathroom window was broken. We had a good nights sleep and nice breakfast."
"In your description you mentioned that rates are inclusive of full english breakfast and a cold South African buffet. There was no such thing as a buffet. Instead you where handed a couple of pamphlets directing you to nearby restaurants. There are only six tables available for breakfast for eleven rooms. We had to go back several times to see if a table was available. Breakfast was sub standard. Phathetic. Would not recommend this guesthouse at all."
