South Africa5 reviews“The star is your manager, helpful and processional.”Sound proof between rooms not good, maybe insulation in the roof might help.
Clean and neat, well organised with beautiful outdoor spaces.

South Africa7 reviews“I loved the property and our room. We will definitely be staying there again.”The gate is a manual gate. Having to get out of the car and opening it then closing it again is inconvenient. And they don’t have a generator.
The property is very clean and taken care of.

Everything the staff did was great!! Food was excellent quality... Our unit was immaculate. The bed was warm and snuggly and the staff went out of their way to see to our needs.

South Africa28 reviews1 helpful voteVery goodwe specifically book places that serve an evening meal when we are travelling but when we arrived we found that we were the only guests so no staff other than the manager there. He did recommend a pub / restaurant nearby which did have excellent food.
Location. Grounds are lovely for walking round.

South Africa38 reviews1 helpful vote“A comfortable and enjoyable Country Stay”The bathroom was beautifully renovated, but the shower may be improved with a small step to keep the water inside. Otherwise we had no complaints.
We had a lovely stay and our room appeared to be newly furbished - clean neat and brand new. We enjoyed the outside space under the rees for our morning coffee. The Inn has a lorge well kept garden and swimming pool which is essential in the hot summer months. Thank you to the staff and manager - we will be back should we travel through Aliwal North again.

Great little spot in Aliwal North, probably the best accommodation around the area. Staff was very friendly and the breakfast was really good. Rooms are clean and neat with excellent linnen.

South Africa6 reviews1 helpful vote“A hospitable and comfortable overnight stay if your journey takes you through Aliwal North.”Can't think of anything that could have been better. In relation to its price it was a good deal. Its location relative to the town of Aliwal North is ideal, because the town itself is showing signs of inept municipal management.
The inn is located in large well-kept gounds on the outskirts of Aliwal North. Undercover parking was close to the room. Reception made us feel welcome and at home. Staff were friendly, the bedroom comfortable, and the dinner and breakfast of good quality. Everything worked well.
