79 On Ridge Bed & Breakfast

It is not a stay, it is a holiday!

I thought I was going to Pietermaritzburg to conduct a soul depleting four-day workshop, but it turned out to be a glorious four day holiday! The workshops went smooth, the stay at 79 Ridge Road was the perfect holiday I needed. Who could ever think that the sleepy hollow could provide such a retreat for a tired of life and overworked guy like me? After four days I left more invigorated and refreshed than when I arrived. Magic is in the air at this B&B. Go and experience it for yourselves. I am not going to give away any clues, go and explore them for yourselves. The surprise is yours to have, at absolute best prices you can imagine. The tip to kick of the experience: ask Gys for his best G&T on arrival!

Besondere gasvryheid, heerlike ontbyt.

Die gasheer was bereid om die kothuis en 'n enkelkamer spesiaal in te rig vir drie kollegas wat saam 'n kongres bywoon en enkelbeddens verkies. Die heerlike ontbyt is elke oggend presies op die tyd wat ons versoek het na die kothuis gebring. Terwyl ons nog op pad was, het ons 'n telefoonoproep ontvang om ons gerus te stel dat ons ingewag word en om reëlings rondom die aankoms te tref. Ek stel voor dat die volledige naam van 79 On Ridge aangebring word om dit vir gaste maklik te maak om te weet waar die toegangshek is. Die karaktervolle tuin en swembad bied lekker ontspanningsruimte. Die hondjies en koi-dam skep 'n huislike atmosfeer.

Most enjoyable stay.

Comfortable and welcoming establishment.

Very well located near Maritzburg College for our visit.

Beautiful decor. They thought of everything and the apartment where we stayed was well equipped. Gys was very nice and helpful. Nice bed with good linen and electric blanket was great for the cold weather. Please note that breakfast is not included in the price and must be booked in advance. We then went to eat breakfast at the Spur nearby. Good reference of the delicious Olive n Oil restaurant for dinner. We will definitely stay here again.

Home away from home.

Loved it. Clean. Host very kind.

This guesthouse is a few cuts above the rest.

Gys en Denzel is fantastiese gashere. Ek en my vrou het soos vriende daar weggegaan. Die kamer en fasiliteite is besonders, dit voel asof jy in tyd terug beweeg met die unieke decor. As ons weer in Pietermaritzburg moet oorbly sal 79 on Ridge die enigste keuse wees vir ons.

Baie lekker.

Baie lekker. Ingang bietjie ongemaklik. Nie die perseel se skuld.

Vriendelike diens, heerlik in die kothuis gebly, heerlike ontbyt.

Ek en my seun het by die gastehuis gebly, ons het in die kothuis gebly. Heerlik om die kombuis en sitkamer ook te hê. Die tuin is pragtig. My seun het die swembad geniet. Die diens was baie goed, almal baie vriendelik. Ontbyt was pragtig bedien en heerlik. Die huis was goed geleë naby die skole.

Well managed B&B and excellent hosts.

Highly recommended stay over. Room and bedding clean and very comfortable. An excellent British breakfast was on offer.

'n Buitekamer is ongelukkig nie 'n gastehuis nie.

Die foto's op die webtuiste is ongelukkig misleidend. Ons gesin van 4 het 'n buitekamer gekry met 1 enkelbed en 1 dubbelbed. Baie lank vooruit bespreek en ons is gesê om voor 14h00 in te boek want eienaars moes by troue wees. Dis later gewysig na 15h00. Die eienaars is vriendelik maar toe ons arriveer het 'n helper nog die plek skoongemaak. Daar's ook vir ons gesê dat daar baie gaste sal wees wat min spasie vir motor sou gee. Ongelukkig teleurstellend.

Magnificent

Thank you for a comfortable and friendly stay. Much attention is given to detail and the breakfast is delicious! Safe for a young student and very close to Varsity College makes it ideal.

As at home as in your own home.

We had a lovely stay and will definitely stay there again if we are in Pietermaritzburg (see you again next year)! 79 On Ridge Bed & Breakfast is located near the N3, across the road from the University and offers a peaceful atmosphere. The owners, Gys and Denzil are friendly and make you feel at home right away. We stayed in the self-catering cottage - which is a beautiful place, very clean and tidy (with stylish decor). The unit has everything you need - a spacious bedroom with the most awesome bed / bedding and plenty of space for everyone's clothes, a big bathroom with clean and soft towels, a kitchen with everything you need and a lounge where the children slept. There were also extras that one does not always expect - a container of purified drinking water, coffee / tea and a box of cappuccinos and extra soap / shower gel in the bathroom. The children's favourites were the soft comforters, the cute dogs - especially Mitsie, the free WiFi and then of course the Lindt Lindor Truffles, each of them found next to the bed. The breakfast was delicious and served on a cosy veranda. We also looked at the rest of the guesthouse's rooms and the standard (and attention to detail) also applies here. Gys and Denzil, thank you very much for your hospitality, your place is definitely one of the most beautiful and cleanest we have already stayed at and we definitely recommend you to anyone who needs accommodation in your area.

Very nice and clean, friendly owner.

The best breakfast that I've had in a long time. Very comfortable and clean.

Fantastic.

Stylish and comfortable. Will definitely stay there again.

Pragtige plek en besondere gasvryheid.

Dankie aan Gys vir die gasvryheid en heerlike ontbyt spesiaal aangepas vir my met my beprekinge op wat ek kan eet!

Uitstekende diens

Baie tevrede met die gastehuis. Hulle gaan uit hul pad om dit so aangenaam as moontlik te maak. Sal definitief weer gebruik, en aanbeveel vir ander.

More than satisfied.

We were enchanted by the space behind the big, safe walls, beautiful, tasteful house and hospitality! Lovely lasagne, breakfast in such a pretty environment. Best B&B ever!

Excellent.

We had a lovely stay, just too short. Service very good. Breakfast excellent and beautifully served. Just with people who visit, they have to be very careful with the in and out of the property, quite dangerous. Hospitality excellent. My wife is already there again at the moment.

Hospitality at its best.

See stars.

Warm, friendly service.

Classic Victorian house well restored with an obsession to detail and collectibles. Families with small children may find the décor overwhelming. Excellent service and attention to detail by the hosts. An enjoyable place to visit.
