The stay was better than I expected after the hard and hot day driving.Dinner was prepared to my instructions and liking and was delicious.Breakfast was a good and well thought collection of sossage and other well complementary dishes.This is now my favorite overnight stop in Aliwal Noord.
Very clean and cozy accommodation. Staff very helpful and friendly. Lucas was brilliant. Will stay again when in the area.
Unfortunately the photos on the website did not reflect when We stopped there ready to book into a newly renovated room, upon seeing the room which hasn’t been touched since forever, I had to leave. Totally not up to standard and would not recommend. Don’t be fooled!
This place is nice enough and clean but overall experience was not great.
Beautiful accommodation and clean. Very friendly staff. I always stay there on my way back from Jhb. The best.
Very disappointed that no coffee available in room. Staff extremely service orientated and very helpful.
Accommodation was neat and very clean. Staff very welcoming and helpful. Homely atmosphere and delicious meal. Nice stop over on our way to Mokala NP.
This might be a 3 star stay but it is at the very top end of 3 star. Worth the price! I went back a second time and will definitely be back again
Very clean. Peaceful and quiet.
Friendly service and the staff made extra effort with our special dietary requests for dinner. The rooms are very comfortable and clean
It was a great pleasure to stay @ Umtali Country Inn,plus the staff was very friendly and the meal was good.
Thys makes you feel welcome. Rooms clean and up to date. In these Covid times they do offer dinner and or breakfast but you need to prearrange this. Ill be very happy to visit again if ever in Aliwal North again in the future.
Spacious rooms and friendly helpful staff
I had a pleasant experience, would recommend the place any day
Stunning room, awesome breakfast!
Superb place that I can highly recommend. If you looking for a better overnight place on this route you may not find better. Wide open spaces with established trees and well maintained garden and lawns, with swimming pool and all modern nescessities such TV, wifi etc and devine king size beds. Delicious breakfast. Lovely place. Full stop.
Very nice budget overnight accommodation for travellers, rooms were recently upgraded! Due to staff cutbacks after Covid they serve supper strictly at 18:00 in the dining room so you miss-out if you arrive late and theres no decent place to dine out in town. After driving through town I understand why most use the slightly shorter route through Gariep. Gariep offers the same and better accommodation for cheaper, plus there are several places where you can dine out.
Conducted a seminar for professionals and their service was 👌👌
Best receptionBest BreakfastBest wirefire
Very good food and hospitality. Stayed overnight and moved on.
Lovely stop over excellent facalities the best food we have had for a long time
Lovely and friendly staffClean and neatA home away from home
One can see that the manager is very hands-on....very well run venue
Contemporary revamped rooms provide comfort and relaxation
Walls between rooms thin, especially when you male neighbour has a voice that is bouldering and he carries on way beyond 10pm. Rooms are great otherwise. Food is excellent.
Warm welcoming.COVID 19 Regulations observed.It was good and comfortable to be there.
Very nice place for a stopover. It was perfect for my little son who loves to run around with so much space. It was neat and clean. The hospitality was also great.
Splendid experience, I must say.
More than my expectations- the rooms are good, the food is in point, and staff is friendly
Clean and neat. Heating wasnt working so very cold
Excellent friendly service
Extremely friendly welcome , good food lovely place , in need of a bit of revamping to increase the rating
I enjoyed my stay, amazing hospitality. Very warm, homey and a perfect kind of vintage vibe. Perfect for a winter stay
Is a nice place from outside and breakfast is good. Room not that grand. We had a problem with the shower only hot impossible to use. Wont visit again thx
Accommodation is neat and clean. They have a restaurant on the premises but sadly they dont allow braais at the establishment.
Had a lovely stay, lovely staff willing to go to any lengths to keep guests happy. Pleasant atmosphere and so peaceful. I felt safe knowing that access to the premises after 9pm is controlled by security. Thank you Umtali, I hope to visit again!
Very clean
Umtali is an old establishment. The buildings are badly in need of renovations. The facilities are clean , useable and safe. The manager is rude and badly mannered. Completely lacking in finesse of communication. The gardens are generous, green, lush and breathtaking...
Great place to stay 👌
Umtali Country Inn in Aliwal North is a very nice place that one can come and enjoy with spacious rooms! You can access easily the hot springs swimming pools nearby.
Adequate for the price, we substantially differed on the definition of extra mushrooms at breakfast but it was nonetheless a good breakfast!
This place is disappointing.We paid R690 for a double room but theres no microwave,no fridge and a useless olden days aircon.The day before we paid the same amount in Fort Beaufort and we had everything and I mean everything.I have been to better places in Queenstown and Cornerstone is the best in terms of pricing and facilities. I swear that I will not use Umtali Inn again.I will not support a place that doesnt care about the customer.
Accommodation good. Food excellent. Management needs training in human relations in hospitality.
Tvs in room were really old. Bed was king size and large but reasonably uncomfortable! Overall not a bad place! Well looked after.
Professional staff and good food.
It ok
The Umtali Inn is nice especially in an isolated area like Aliwal North. The best you can get around here.
Excellent food, and very clean and comfortable accommodation. Very helpful staff
We have been coming here since 2004 and we have hevent ever had a bad experience. The owner is very friendly and will do what ever he can to make your stay as comfortable as possisble. The rooms are very cosy and the beds are very comfortable. The rest of the staff are also very friendly. The food is very good and the presentation is attractive. There is a bar in the main building that is well stocked.
Great food and price to match. Staff very friendly and helpful
I couldnt open the door from inside the last time I visited this place. However its worth going there again
Beautiful. It will be visited again.
Aircon, hot water, TV. Better than expected
The aircons for the heat is not great but they do have electric blankets
Terrible old place with terrible food. The service is okayishhhh
Nice swimming pool for those hot days
Nyc, clean and quiet beautiful inn to stay
It is a bit old. Very clean. Swimming pool and restaurant. Needs an upgrade.
Average, great customer service and friendly staff
This establishment offers fine dinning but it needs to renovate its bathrooms, fix the damaged ceiling (as a result of water leaks) and change the theme in the bedrooms.
Clean rooms. Lovely host.
Always enjoyed sleeping and hospitality
