We were in need of accommodation last night. Got to George at 20h00. I am on crutches and requested a ground floor room. Room was clean. Bathroom had sanitizer, body wash and shampoo. Very basic. Suited our needs. TV, kettle, coffee and tea. No milk and fridge inoperative. Slept well. Thanks to the kind lady in reception.I Will definitely vote for the party you suggested.

WILL NOT RECOMEND. Horrible guest house with a super rude and arrogant owner. Pee behind the toilet as pipes are leaking with dust everywhere. Layers of dust on floor, behind furniture and towels smells off mold. He blames us for not wanting to pay for his R2 a piece of fire wood as I said we will buy from a shop rather. He used that a an excuse not to refund us as my attitude changed when he told me the wood is not free.

Made a booking at this place. there was no call to cancel my booking. My employees arrived at the accommodation after driving 8 hours only to be told the accommodation is full. This was 8-10pm. This is very bad service. It would have been nice to receive an email or a call just telling me that i need to make another plan or not overbooking in the first place as i did confirm the booking. You should be paying me a short notice cancellation fee.......

Worst accommodation encountered ever.This is our overall feedback on the Farmhouse. The Farmhouse- George. This has been the most disappointing accommodation experience, ever booked and paid in full for. Whilst advertised as more of a “backpacker” accommodation, situated in an upmarket area, serious consideration needs to be given to the hygiene levels overall and what is advertised on the website compared to the real life experience. Trying to find the establishment without a house number or sign outside, then having to wait for about 5 minutes for the gate to be opened, was not the warmest reception experienced especially in pouring rain. All rooms are advertised as having bathrooms, however one of our units rooms, the Schaapkraal, did not have any bathroom/toilet facilities and we were expected to use an outside toilet that looked like it was being used by the garden staff. Upon entering the 2nd unit, The Melkstal, we were welcomed with a terrible stench emanating from the kitchen/fridge area, which was totally unacceptable. The owner attempted to find the source of the smell, and since perusing previous reviews afterwards, it seems like it had been reported by previous guests as well. The toilet bathroom area was also very poor, the shower drain/strainer was broken and looked like a typical public facility, the mirrors was so rusted that you could hardly see yourselves in them. The bottom edges of the shower had extensive mould build-up it looked like a public facility (septic). The swimming pool was green, murky and dirty and upon enquiring we were told that it was out of working order but that our kids could swim. At whose risk? Cannot believe that during a summer holiday, the pool can’t be maintained and be ready for kids to enjoy, especially as its one of the amenities advertised. The linen looked worn and everything had a musky smell. The owner mentioned that he had people there from Namibia, it looked like they abandoned the accommodation without telling him, probable they also had major issues with the place. When we booked we didn’t select the said units as we would not have chosen facilities for a party of 9 people, with 5 kids having to use an outside toilet with a shower head literally 0,5 m away in the same claustrophobic space. Very disappointing and will not recommend this. Not even as a backpackers.

Will not recommend this place. We booked the Skaapkraal (family unit for 5) with an outside bathroom (which you cannot call a bathroom). Its a shower and a toilet in one with no basin even to brush teeth or wash hands after using the toilet. When you shower the toilet and toilet paper all gets wet. The unit was dirty, with a dirty thick layer of dust on the kettle. Not even enough cutlery for 5 people -we had to share. Definately not worth the price we had to pay!

Highly expensive for No Star gradingAnd extremely greedy for money!! after checking out this morning earlier then arranged with owner of The Farmhouse Guesthouse, i was still waiting for my car that were in for a service (about 4.1km away from where we were) and i was expecting a call from them to inform me when i can collect my car, then my battery died so i asked the Owner if i can charge my phone for a bit just so theyll be able to get hold off me and the response i got was SHOCKING!!!! He answered: well how much are you willing to Pay for the service and convenience that you were about to get and use from this Guesthouse i couldnt actually believe what i heard and without making a big thing out of it i just said thanks and i walked away. The owner watched as i walked away from the premises, knowing that i had to walk about 4.1km now just to find out that the car might still not be ready yet. 5min later after i left i received a whatsapp message from the Guesthouse owner, he said: (copied from whatsapp just like i received it from him)[02/19, 11:44] ‪+27 84 626 4580‬: R100 vir altwee saam tot 4uur.[02/19, 11:44] ‪+27 84 626 4580‬: Sitkamer en swembad ingesluit[02/19, 11:45] ‪+27 84 626 4580‬: En wifi en tv[02/19, 11:45] ‪+27 84 626 4580‬: 😂👍IT IS REALLY SAD TO SEE THAT A GROWN MAN LIKE THE OWNER OF THE FARMHOUSE GUESTHOUSE ACTUALLY GETS A LAUGH OUT OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS.I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THE FARMHOUSE GUESTHOUSE TO EVEN MY BIGGEST ENEMY TO BE CONSIDERED AS AN OPTION FOR ACCOMMODATION

Was not inpress at all, compared to the other guesthouses we stayed in for less or same price. Even with breakfast. Then this place is the only one we had to pay in full with booking and a key deposit? Now.... Not wondering why? The only positive thing was the owners friedliness. Wont recomend. 🤔

Toilet outside the room was smelly and the toilet floor needed a thorough scrub. Sheets and bedding can be upgraded. Beautiful old house but the economy room needs some restoration. Bar fridge very small and not as effective. Staff friendly
