The all in one stop overnight accommodation on the way from the Free State to the sea.
I made the reservation on behalf of my sister's son: husband, wife and 2 kids. From the beginning of the booking, Martie went out of her way to meet our request! Immediately after their arrival there, the group also let me know how friendly the aunt is, how many treats (juices, biscuits, choklits, cappuccino) they got. How beautiful and tidy the place is, how beautifully green the garden is. It is so nice when you go by what is said and shown on the internet about a place and the end result is much more than that. Thank you very much Martie, may you be overrun with travelers.

An excellent place to stay for the visitor or overnight traveler.
Reasons why a particular accommodation facility is chosen may vary from person to person depending on his/her/their particular needs, circumstances and goals. With this as a point of departure, my choice, after much searching on the internet, fell on Alkamia B&B and Self Catering in Estcourt. Their location in a quiet residential area, safe parking, proximity to a chain store group and other facilities, their proximity to the N3 as well as the affordability of their rates made the decision. Upon my arrival, the reception was friendly and hospitable. Points of contact were found and there was a longer conversation than expected. The room is compact (but larger than some hotel rooms) and the layout is very well planned. The cleanliness and beauty of the facilities, bedding, cutlery, bathroom and so on was of a very high standard, in fact I doubt if it can be improved. The television with the large number of channels available (international news etc.) was a plus. I was grateful for the no smoking signs in the room. This results in non-smokers receiving a pollution-free room to spend the night in. The spacious bathroom, hot water and different coffee choices and a breakfast for the next morning with yogurt and an orange drink were further highlights. The treats were a big surprise. The icing on the cake was the "fleeze" undersheet and the electric blanket. The winter cold was subdued and a lovely night's rest could be enjoyed. Alkamia B&B and Self Catering accommodation can be highly recommended. As an overnight facility or as a point to explore the area by touring.

Fairly hospitable, but need to get other beds.
Felt comfortable about their hospitality, but the one single bed urgently needs to be replaced. Felt unsafe, especially after people making noise and shouting very close by around 11 o'clock.

We had a great stay and will definitely stay there again.
We were received very kindly by Marthie and Gert and had a great time. Marthie makes a lot of effort to make you feel at home and she spoils the guests properly with food. The place to stay is beautiful and tidy. Thank you very much and good luck with your guest house. See you again when we go to Gauteng.

The facilities were neat and affordable for an overnight stay on the way to the South Coast from Pretoria.
The reception was friendly and the accommodation was neat and clean. The television channels were sufficient for our needs. The Wimpy was a convenient place to eat a light dinner. The facilitis aren't far from the main road and we could reach it easily when we had to continue our journey. Can recommend it.
