    I did not like the fact that after having been shown our room and settling in, we got a knock on the door from a staff member with a card machine demanding payment. This made me feel like I was going to do a runner. Not nice. Secondly, we arrived back at 22h30 to a MASSIVE party next door with a band. The owner was quick to say that this was winding down, but took another hour before the music turned off. Had we been informed that this happened on a Friday / Saturday, we would have been fine with it. Arriving back to it is not on. Either way, we will vote with our feet.

    We were met by the sweet manager Amy, who assisted us with parking and showing us to the room. She was sweet and welcoming.

    The room itself is very old with slanted floors. Had to request more toilet paper as they only provided us with enough for one night. The walls are very thin, and we could hear the neighbouring room's occupants conversations until late. The noise from the bar area downstairs is also very disturbing.

    Nice location in the centre of Greyton.

    the room is above a restaurant and there is also a brewery attached to it. it is very noisy at night and it is also on the main road in greyton so not a quiet location. The bathroom is very small and no hairdryers. for the money better locations to be found

    decent room, nice back garden with a pool.

    Absolutely loved staying here and meeting the team. Greyton is such a wonderful place, you feel so removed from life, yet you are surrounded by brilliant people and get to stay in this super cool brewery. We arrived and were shown to our lovely room, it is an old brewery so has a lot of character and a great vibe. They have a brilliant restaurant that do pizzas and burgers, we sat on the porch most of evening, tasting their awesome beers. The team couldn't have been nicer with our check in and flexibility leaving. We went for a 3 hour hike in the Nature Reserve, we did the red route then the smaller yellow route to the dam. We came back and there were towels waiting for us so we could cool off in their lovely pool. We only stayed for 1 night but would highly recommend going to stay for a weekend so you can get a sense of the Saturday markets, the community and character.

    The rooms we stayed in were extremely basic. There is no breakfast offering, there is no servicing of the rooms on a Sunday. Everything is closed on a Sunday and our rooms had no self catering facilities. It is also very poorly communicated when you book. It basically becomes a hostel.

    The rooms were clean, the location good. The food at the restaurant in the evening was very good.

    We were booked into room number 3, which is one of their standard rooms. The room and amenities unfortunately did not meet our expectations created by the photos on their Booking.com advert. - Door does not close, it needs to be locked to remain shut - The bed is terrible. It caves in, it makes a sound when you turn (regardless of your weight), the mattress is worn out and thin and the bed is low. It’s incredibly uncomfortable to sleep in. We looked into the other rooms while they were being cleaned with the intention to perhaps ask the owners to move us, but all the beds we saw looked like they were in the exact same old condition. - The fabric of the headboard looks dirty and old, and so does the carpet - There was a piece of tissue plugged into the window, presumably to prevent wind coming in - There’s a constant cracking sound which I assume comes from the old wood contracting and retracting. It’s extremely disturbing, my mom struggled to sleep on both nights. - The floors under the carpet are uneven, but perhaps this is expected of an old building. It does however feel shaky to walk on. - There are no visible plug points near the bed, so if you’d like to charge your phone at your bedside, I imagine you’d need to search under the bed or behind the headboard to find a plug point. We didn’t do so because we were unsure of how clean the carpet and headboard were, so we used the only plug point we could see. - The bathroom is tiny but does the job. Note though that it doesn’t have a toothbrush holder, no hand towel, the toilet is positioned too high up which leaves you with pins & needles in your legs after sitting for a long time, the toilet paper quality is awful and the rim of the shower floor was dirty. - We booked this place largely because of the swimming pool, but we couldn’t even make use of it because it was extremely filthy. The water was grey and murky, you couldn’t see to the bottom. - There are steps leading up to the standard rooms

    Amy and her husband are incredible hosts. They patiently and politely dealt with a payment issue I experienced. They welcomed us to their property with great warmth, smiles and help. They made a dinner reservation for us at a nearby restaurant and even came to check on us while we ate. They were very attentive to our questions and requests over the phone during our stay. They are extremely lovely and helpful! The location of their property is also incredible...right on the main road and within walking distance to everything.

    No breakfast. Bed bounced whenever partner moved and the wooden floor so noisy that it woke everyone up if you got out of bed at night. The airconditioner had no control and on enquiring were told it didnt work! The extra childs "bed" was a very narrow fold out stool.
