Very nice and cute place. The garden is beautiful.

Enjoyed our stay a lot. Elma recognised my partner from when he lived there 20 years ago. She's so sweet and friendly will definitely be back for a longer stay.

Comfortable camp site with amazing host in the middle of Kenhardt.

Beautiful little campsite which was very pleasant to spend an afternoon and evening in, cooking and relaxing. The host was extremely accommodating, kind and helpful and there was a very cute dog that kept us company! We would definitely stop over there again.

Baie netjies, net een probleem, die aircons is nie geskik vir die kamers nie. Aircons is te klein.

Gerieflik en huislik. Sal weer die gastehuis gebruik.

Die eienares is gasvry en gee persoonlik aandag aan die gerief en behoeftes van haar gaste. Ons het gevoel asof ons by vriende kuier wie ons lanklaas gesien het. Verblyf hier is beslis aan te beveel.

Comfortable and homey. Will use the guest house again.

The owner is hospitable and pays personal attention to the comfort and needs of her guests. We felt like we were visiting friends we hadn't seen in a long time. Staying here is definitely recommended.

'n Aangename verblyf na 'n lang dag se ry.

Ons het Kenhardt aangedoen op pad na Namibië, grondpaaie gery in kwaai teëwind. Dit was werklik verkwikkend om laat namiddag by Elma se gastehuis aan te kom. Hier is ons vriendelik ontvang. Ons kamer was skoon en netjies, en ons het 'n goeie aandete en, die volgende oggend, ontbyt, saam met ander gaste geniet.

A pleasant stay after a long day's drive.

We stayed in Kenhardt on our way to Namibia, drove dirt roads in terrible windy conditions. It was really refreshing to arrive at Elma's guesthouse in the late afternoon.We were kindly received. Our room was clean and tidy and we enjoyed a good dinner and the next morning breakfast with other guests.

Groete.

Volgende keer ry ek eerder deur na Kgalagadi lodge.

Toe ons daar aankom, was dame half deurmekaar, en aan die slaap. Ons het nie privaat gevoel nie. Oggend met vertrek het ons brandmerk op haar hand gesien en sy het genoem dat dit 'n dagga brand was.Kan beter gordyn by badkamer hang vir stort (in bad).

Next time I will drive through to Kgalagadi lodge instead.

When we got there, lady was half confused, and asleep. We didn't feel private. In the morning upon departure we saw a burn mark on her hand and she mentioned that it was a weed burn. Could better hang curtain at bathroom for shower (in bath).

Time to relax at Elma's Self-catering.

A very pleasant evening was had with my husband and some friends of ours at Elma's. Elma was very friendly and accommodating and even personally made us tea/ coffee with we enjoyed on the stoep overlooking the garden as we relaxed after our long trip from Kgalagadi. A perfect stop en-route to CT. The rooms were perfectly clean and supplied everything we needed. We enjoyed a lovely meal at Ouma Miemie's Padstal restaurant and then rose early for our trip home. Thanks Elma for a splendid evenings stay and lots of interesting chats.

Outydse sjarme.

Dankie vir die skoon en netjiese geriewe. Kamers oulik uiteengesit. Baie kreatief. My pa wat saam met my gereis het, het gevoel die kamers is ietwat donker veral vir lees in die aande. Maar nietemin het ons heerlik gebly.

Old fashioned charm.

Thank you for the clean and tidy facilities. Rooms nicely laid out. Very creative. My father who traveled with me felt that the rooms were somewhat dark especially for reading in the evenings. But nevertheless we had a wonderful stay.

No hot water on a return trip. Only turned on in the morning just as we were about to leave.

No hot water is a big issue for me. There was cold water so can only assume the geyser was turned off for our unit. It came on as we were about to leave. Their kettle leaked and as such we didn't use it, too dangerous!

Dear Robert,

The water was a municipality problem. I apologized to you personally that evening.

If only you reported the kettle at that time, I would have given you another one.

Netjies en mooi, maar klassifiseer as 'n hotelkamer en nie as self-catering nie.

Ons kon sien dat die eienaar baie moete gedoen het met die plek. Alles was mooi en netjies met 'n unieke flair in die dekor. Badkamer is nie afsonderlik nie, maar slegs met 'n afskorting van die kamer geskei. Geen kombuisarea nie, slegs koffie- en teegeriewe op 'n tafel. Om jou ketel by die badkamer se wasbak vol te maak was vreemd asook die feit dat iemand die heeltyd op die stoep moet gaan staan as iemand anders die badkamer wil gebruik. Self-catering beteken meer geriewe soos bakkies, borde, messe en vurke. Voel asof die naam misleidend was.

Neat and nice, but classed as a hotel room and not as self-catering.

We could see that the owner had done a lot with the place. Everything was nice and tidy with a unique flair in the decor. Bathroom is not separate, but only separated from the room by a partition. No kitchen area, only coffee and tea facilities on a table. Filling your kettle at the bathroom sink was strange, as was the fact that someone had to stand on the porch all the time if someone else wanted to use the bathroom. Self-catering means more facilities such as bowls, plates, knives and forks. Feel like the name was misleading.

Goeiedag Lizelle
Ek wil net graag groot om verskoning vra, dit was my fout. Ek het jul ongelukkig verkeerdelik onder Immanuel B+B geboek, in plaas van in die Elma's self sorg eenheid. Indien julle my sou bel, sou ek dit reg gestel. Ek bied julle gratis verblyf by Elma's self sorg aan, indien jul weer eendag in Kenhardt wil oornag. Herinner my asseblief net aan hierdie belofte. Groete vanuit 'n lekker nat Kenhardt, tannie Elma.
