Wat 'n plesier was dit.

Die mense herdefinieer vriendelikheid, diens, styl en gehalte van blyplek en kos. Ek bly in baie gastehuise vir my werk op baie plekke die afgelope 30 jaar, maar The Willow Historical Guest House is een van die vyf beste.

Outydse sjarme en moderne geriewe.

Die vriendelike ontvangs, gasvrye diens, netjiese en silwerskoon verblyf maak dit die moeite werd. Ons het nie eers die Junie-koue gevoel met die lugreëling en snoesige kombers nie. Ons beveel definitief ook die aandete aan!

Warm bed was very welcome. Friendly receptionist.

1. Sorry that there were no biscuits. Left early before breakfast. No rusk was really disappointing. Had to drive with only coffee. 2. There were no kitchenware - plates, pots, pans, knives and forks. Nothing. Only coffee mugs. Couldn't prepare anything to eat.

Ontspanne, gemaklik en huis weg van die huis!

El-Anne en haar personeel gaan uit hul pad om my outistiese seuntjie te akkommodeer. Dit is 'n groot kompliment as hy gemaklik is om vir 'n tweede en derde keer by 'n gastehuis oor te slaap. In hierdie geval kon hy nie wag nie!

Pleasant surprise!

With my last visit here I stayed across the road, so was booked in the main house this time. In a word - wow! Huge, comfortable rooms and bathroom facilities, friendly new owners, wonderful food at reasonable prices in an interesting and beautiful historic building. I would change the breakfast service back to what is currently used as a bar though - a fresh, light and airy garden setting.

Dit is soos 'n oase na 'n lang dag op die pad.

Die mense is gasvry, vriendelik en het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons te akkommodeer. Hulle het vir ons ’n tafel in die tuin gedek om aandete by te eet op so 'n snikhete warm aand! Die kamers is skoon en netjies en daar is voorsiening gemaak vir muskiete. Die ontbyt was heerlik. Soos in die verlede het die plek ons net gelos met 'n warm hart en dankbaarheid.

El Ann en haar span met Timoot aan die stuur van die ontvangskomitee is absoluut puik!

Dit is heerlik om soos eregaste behandel te word deur Karoo-vriendelike mense met opregtheid! Hul wil regtig weet of die kos lekker was, of jy lekker geslaap het. Dit is 'n wonderlike plek in 'n wonderlike plattelandse dorp by die ingang van die Baviaans. Moet nie daar wegry sonder ontbyt en moet nie die skaapkerrie mis nie! Baie dankie El Anne en span, sien jul definitief weer!

It is wonderful to be treated like guests of honor by Karoo-friendly people with sincerity! They really want to know if the food was good, if you slept well. This is a great place in a great country town at the entrance to the Bavian. Don't leave without breakfast and don't miss the mutton curry! Thank you very much El Anne and team, definitely see you again!

Karoo-gasvryheid op sy beste.

Lekker oornag in 'n historiese huis.

El-Anne en haar man verrig wondere om die 150 jaar oue gebou in 'n uitstekende toestand te hou en terselfdertyd die geskiedkundige karakter te bewaar. Ons het een van daardie lekker beddens gehad waarop jy reeds die eerste nag lekker slaap. Die etes (aandete en ontbyt) was uitstekend!

Nice overnight stay in a historic house.

El-Anne and her husband are working wonders to keep the 150-year-old building in excellent condition while preserving its historic character. We had one of those nice beds that you sleep well on the first night. The meals (dinner and breakfast) were excellent!

Beautiful guest house, but lacking in the finer details.

Very friendly host. My dogs were welcomed which was great. But the accommodation was not great. My shower went from burning you alive to ice cold. Then no hot water, then repeat the process. My room was the only one of 3 with an electric blanket. It was a very cold night. Door handle on the bathroom not working. One lonely rusk in a rather grubby tin in a room meant for two. Dinner was seriously expensive and very bland. Breakfast was good though. I wouldn't choose to stay here again.

‘n Geskiedkundige plek vol onthou. Lieflike skoon ruim kamers, die mense is vriendelik en behulpsaam. Net na ons aankoms is ons 'n lekker beker koffie aangebied wat ons in die rustigheid van die tuin kon geniet. Die kos is heerlik, ons het laat waai met die skaapstertjies.

Heerlike outydse gasvryheid en goeie diens.

Ons is hartlik ontvang. mooi, skoon groot kamer. Gemoedelike manier waarmee die bestuurder al ons vrae oor die dorpie beantwoord het. Interessante kroeg met honderde aandenkings. Die aandete in 'n antieke eetkamer was uitstekend, met o.a. die lekkerste 'lamb shank' ooit! Ekstra groot bed met goeie linne. Ontbyt was betyds en flink bedien ten spyte van 'n watervoorsieningsprobleem. Pragtige tuin!

Great food and service, but Flippie Cottage is half star accommodation.

Was treated with 5 star service. Supper was also 5 star quality. However the 2 bedroom cottage called Flippie was not clean. Cobwebs, loose light fittings, room doors don't close and lock properly, toilet area very small and the entrance to the cottage was extremely narrow, so much so that my vehicle got scratched down the side next to the border fence and so-called shrubbery.

Rustige verblyf in geskiedkundige gebou.

Ons het onlangs een nag oorgebly in die mooi en rustige dorpie Willowmore. Ons het vroeër as die inkloktyd gearriveer en dit nie 'n probleem vir hulle. As gevolg van 'n kansellasie het hulle ons 'n beter kamer aangebied as wat oorspronklik voor geboek was teen geen ekstra koste nie. Die 150 jaar oue geboue is pragtig in stand gehou en die tuine netjies. Die kamers is baie skoon en netjies. Hulle het spesiaal vir ons hulle lamskerrie gekook. Die ete was fantasties en pryse goed. Baie vriendelike gasvrou, kon lekker met haar gesels. Sal definitief hierdie gastehuis aanbeveel vir mense wat die area besoek of net oornagslaap plek soek. Baie dankie vir hulle goeie diens.

Quiet accommodation in historic building.

We recently stayed one night in the beautiful and peaceful village of Willowmore. We arrived earlier than the check-in time and it was not a problem for them. Due to a cancellation they offered us a better room than originally booked at no extra cost. The 150-year-old buildings are beautifully maintained and the gardens tidy. The rooms are very clean and tidy. They cooked their lamb curry especially for us. The meal was fantastic and prices good. Very friendly hostess, could have a nice chat with her. Would definitely recommend this guest house to people visiting the area or just looking for a place to stay overnight. Thank you very much for their good service.

Ons hoogste verwagtinge oorskry!

Ons was die enigste gaste vir die aand, maar nie teen staande het die gasvrou werklik uit haar pad gegaan om ons verblyf so aangenaam as moontlik te maak. Komplimente aan die bestuur en dan natuurlik aan die sjef wat vir ons die mees asemrowende ete opgetower het. Die ontbyt net so voortreflik en smaaklik. Wel gedaan. Julle word sterk aanbeveel by al ons vriende en familie. Sterkte en voorspoed met julle droom, julle het verseker die regte "resep" beet. Weereens dankie.

Ons het in een van die kothuise oorkant die straat gebly en het dit baie geniet. Hul diens is uitstekend en hul het uit hul pad gegaan om ons te help nadat ons voertuig probleme op pad ondervind het.

Die verblyf was 'n lekker Karoo-ervaring. Ons kon die strate te voet invaar en het altyd veilig gevoel. Het alreeds die fasiliteit by ander aanbeveel. Hou so aan.

Friendly family people - always ready to help.

The stay was a nice Karoo experience. We could navigate the streets on foot and always felt safe. Have already recommended the facility to others. Keep it up.

Pragtige plek en huislik.

Pragtige plek om in te bly. Was bietjie teleurgesteld om nie in die hoofhuis/bestemming te bly nie. Die nuwe kamers oorkant die straat is gemiddeld, maar het nie die atmosfeer van die hoofgebou nie. Ontbyt was onverbeterlik, en het dit baie geniet. Dit is wonderlik om die hoofgebou te besoek en al die ou meubels te sien. Wonderlik dat dit so gehou word. Sal definitief weer daar wil bly en sal dit aanbeveel vir enige iemand.

Beautiful place and homely.

Beautiful place to stay. Was a little disappointed not to stay in the main house/destination. The new rooms across the street are average but lack the atmosphere of the main building. Breakfast was unbeatable, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's great to visit the main building and see all the old furniture. Wonderful that it is kept this way. Would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to anyone.

Lieflik!

Die Willow Historical Guest House is 'n 3-ster gastehuis. Gesien dat Willowmore 'n baie klein dorpie is, moet ek eerlik wees dat dit al ons verwagtinge by verre oortref het. Die kamers is gemaklik en die kos was uit die boonste rakke. El-Anne en haar werknemers was deurgaans baie gasvry en ons sien uit daarna om weer by hulle tuis te gaan.

Lovely!

The Willow Historical Guest House is a 3-star guest house. Considering that Willowmore is a very small town, I have to be honest that it far exceeded all of our expectations. The rooms are comfortable and the food was top notch. El-Anne and her employees were always very hospitable and we look forward to staying with them again.

It was far better than we expected it to be. Nice house, friendly people.

We stayed one night in Willowmore on our way to Ladismith and Cape Town.The Willowmore Historical Guesthouse made our stay in Willowmore one to remember. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed a wonderful and generous dinner. The owner and her staff were super friendly and helped us in any way they could. We recommend this place to anyone who visits Willowmore and surroundings.

Fabulous! It is really a home from home experience and we will be back shortly.

We were blown away by the owners, management and staff. So friendly, helpful and all round awesome. We stayed for 7 nights and found so much to do around the area so is ideal for a holiday destination not only as an overnight stop. We will definitely be back as often as we can, the whole town has a definite "good feel" about it.

Die foto's was misleidend.

Kothuis waar ons ingeboek was, was glad nie goed nie. Hemelbed se reling is gebreek. Die gordyne is aaklig. Die badkamer se deur is gebreek en lyk baie sleg. Die storte het nie eers gordyne of iets aan nie. Net dakwaaiers in van die kamers. Toe ons sê ons gaan nie oorslaap nie, word ons ander kamers met lugversorging aan gebied. Hoekom is ons nie in die eerste plek in die beter kamers ingeboek nie? Ons moes ander blyplek soek na 1000 km agter die rug.

The pictures were misleading.

Cottage where we were booked was not good at all. Canopy bed's rail is broken. The curtains are awful. The bathroom door is broken and looks very bad. The showers don't even have curtains or anything on them. Only ceiling fans in some of the rooms. When we said we were not going to spend the night, we were offered other rooms with air conditioning. Why weren't we booked into the better rooms in the first place? We had to look for another place to stay after 1000 km behind us.

Baie informeel, baie lekker en beveel dit aan.

Ons het in Desember 2013 oorgeslaap op pad kus toe, en was baie beïndruk met alles (kamer, swembad, kroeg, kos) en die vriendelike atmosfeer. Ons sal weer daar oorslaap in die toekoms!

Dit was 'n verblyf om te onthou en 'n kultuur-ervaring.

Ons het een aand hier geslaap. Die kamer is ruim en was skoon. Die personeel is baie hulpvaardig en laat jou sommer tuis voel. Die klein kroegie moedig jou aan om met ander gaste te kuier. Ons het sommer gou vriende gemaak. Ons het ook gehou van die verskeidenheid disse op die spyskaart en ons kos is goed voorberei. Ons kan The Willow Historical Guest House enige tyd aabeveel.

Pragtige verblyf, goeie etes en mooi omgewing met besondere diens.

Dis 'n ou pastorie met 'n besondere versameling ou plaas- en huisvoorwerpe. Daar is 'n groot, gesamentlike voorkamer met 'n kaggel en kroegdienste. Die etes was baie heerlik. Dankie vir die uiters vriendelike diens en gasvrou. Ons vind die oop stort interessant, soos in Europa. Goed toegerus met alle nodighede. Ons was in 'n afsonderlike huisie van hoofgebou, en kan dit sterk aanbeveel!

Beautiful accommodation, good meals and beautiful surroundings with exceptional service.

It's an old parsonage with a special collection of old farm and household objects. There is a large communal front room with a fireplace and bar services. The meals were very delicious. Thank you for the extremely friendly service and hostess. We find the open shower interesting, like in Europe. Well equipped with all necessities. We were in a separate cottage from the main building, and can highly recommend it!
