226 guests' feedbackCeltis Country Lodge & Restaurant is a treasure hidden in the Eastern Cape. This is the ideal place to stretch your legs, refresh yourself with friendly and helpful service, good food, and a good night's rest. We will definitely use Celtic Country Lodge again.
Very friendly, had a delicious meal.
Great overnight stay after a long day on the road.
Great accommodation, safe and quiet. Breakfast was also nice.
Clean, everything you need for accommodation. Good value for money. The restaurant has delicious food and excellent service. We'll see Celtis again for sure.
Very nice! Thank you.
Beautiful rooms, friendly staff, very good food.
Fantastic service. Great food. Very happy with our choice of lodge and would recommend to friends and family.
All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Our stay was comfortable. The breakfast included was also nice.
Hands-on management from owners and fantastic staff. An easy 5-star recommendation.
Great accommodation, great service, friendly staff.
The rooms were neat as a pin and the beds were super comfy! We also really enjoyed the play area for our kids after a long day in the car.
Very nice would definitely recommend it.
Best overnight stay after a long drive. Workers are very friendly and helpful.
We had a very nice stay. It was clean and tidy and had everything we needed.
From the special parking for my vehicle and caravan, the reception's helpfulness, clean and tidy rooms, delicious swimming pool, excellent food and wine, and very friendly staff. The place and staff at Celtis Country Lodge & Restaurant is something they can be very proud of!
Very friendly reception and good service. An oasis in the village. I can recommend the dinner and breakfast.
Very nice stay. Very neat rooms with good beds.
Very comfortable and very welcoming after a long day's travel.
My parents and sister-in-law with her children had a very nice stay.
Neat, friendly. Good sleep and delicious breakfast!
Friendly staff, good food and clean room.
Perfect. Room was clean and exactly as the pictures displayed. Restaurant was wonderful and meals were delicious. All staff were so helpful and friendly.
Value for money. Excellent place. Beds are nice and comfortable. Service and friendliness of the staff is top notch. Will visit there again.
We had a beautiful room, the restaurant at the lodge has a delicious variety of food.
From the moment we arrived at Celtis Country Lodge & Restaurant, we received nothing but good and friendly service from everyone. The rooms are very well furnished with everything one needs. A very nice swimming pool and outdoor play area for children. The on-site restaurant was very convenient for us. We had dinner and breakfast and both meals were really delicious! We would definitely stay here again and can also recommend it.
It's our second time at Celtis and the service was great once again.
Value for money and the price is fair.
I can definitely recommend Celtis Country Lodge & Restaurant. They arranged accommodation for us at very short notice and even kept the restaurant open so we could have dinner. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The breakfast was delicious and the solar power was also a bonus.
The rooms were clean, large, and comfortable. I loved the bathroom! It was delicious!
Errol literally waited for us at the gate and everything was ready for us. Our room was comfortably furnished with everything we would need. We unpacked and walked across the lawn to the restaurant where we enjoyed a delicious dinner and were then able to relax comfortably after a long journey and regain strength for the next day's long drive. Had another delicious breakfast in the morning and then continued our journey. All staff were very helpful and friendly. They will definitely see us again.
We were on our way to Johannesburg after a visit to the Cape. Celtis Country Lodge was recommended by family and friends and we are so glad we were able to spend the night there. The room was beautiful, clean, perfectly appointed and had everything needed. We were able to park right in front of the room, the place is safe and the restaurant served delicious meals. Friendly and helpful staff received and served us, we will surely make it a pit stop again.
Friendly, comfortable, neat, peaceful garden. Tasty food at the restaurant. Can handle larger groups (we were almost 20). As with most B&Bs I've been to, I would have liked a hairdryer in the room.
A very nice place to sleep, on the way to the Western Cape. Secure parking. Solar definitely a winner! Will definitely stay there again. Book early, they are fully booked for our December dates, and it's only July.
Cozy restaurant with good food, friendly and prompt service and a log fire against the cold winter chill. Rooms are neat and comfortable. Parking is secure behind locked gates. Will definitely stay there again.
Very professional service. Rooms excellent. Restaurant a welcome surprise after a day's travel. Staff very helpful.
This is really a lovely break on the way from the north to the south or vice versa. Friendly people, clean, tidy and staff that one still remembers after 16 months of a one-night stay. Personal attention.
More than adequate for us.
A playground for the children is just what one needed after a long day's travel. Restaurant was great!
Staff were welcoming and attentive, especially Errol on check in. Restaurant is in a beautiful setting, we ate supper under the most amazing tree next to the pool, while the piano music played in the background. Wonderful play area for the kids! It was a pleasure staying with them.
What an amazing place, clean, tidy, friendly staff, everything and more!
Very clean and neat place. The hostess/owner was very friendly and wanted to know if we were happy with everything. Will definitely stay again if and when in Middelburg.
Book at the last minute. Was very impressed with everything.
We were very impressed with how neat, beautiful and comfortable everything was. The breakfast was also delicious with many options. The institution is clearly very well managed and everything is right and in its place. Thank you very much - you will definitely see us again!
Drove from George to Pretoria and Middelburg was a good overnight town. The fact that there is a restaurant on site counts for a lot. Then the food was really very nice. Friendly people everywhere. Breakfast was included, but the price was a bit high just for an overnight stay. Still, it was a good idea to stay there.
The only critique is that the DStv was stuck on one channel and we couldn't change it.
We arrived after 6 pm and had dinner at their restaurant which was very convenient.
Winning recipe for our family with a fussy two year old boy after a long drive in his car seat!
We had a wonderful stay! Rooms are neat and spacious! The restaurant's food is delicious and the staff are friendly and helpful!
Accommodation was neat and well furnished. Service provided from arrival to departure was excellent.
Ideal for overnight and rest after Mossel Bay.
Upon arrival, Errol welcomed us in a friendly manner and Lucinda assisted us to our room. At dinner, Lucinda attended to us. It was a pleasure to have such a person and her assistant serve us.
Except for their restaurant, prices that are ridiculously high for extremely small portions.
Place needs renovation. Got better value for money at Colesberg on the way back.
Just need electric blankets also.
Breakfast was included with accommodation and that was one of the reasons why I wanted to book there. Unfortunately, we could only have a proper breakfast in the restaurant once on the 26th of December. Got our food parcels for the 24th which were freezing cold. It certainly did not outweigh the R105 breakfast we would have had if we had eaten in the restaurant. They had food parcels for us for the 25th of December, but we never received them. We weren't even asked what we wanted to order. Nobody was there. Since when WhatsApp you a guest. It was never confirmed if we received breakfast. The food was left in a fridge and left there. Why are discussions allowed in such circumstances? My children ordered extra drinks on the morning of the 26th December which were not included on the breakfast menu for which I had to pay. I refused. I paid R5600 for this stay and will never do it again. I definitely feel put in. We expected more and better service because that's what I paid for.
It is very safe and quiet, waiters are very friendly and spontaneous, the service is very fast, the view is very beautiful. It's just what we needed, it's safe for children.
Celtis is always our choice for sleepover. Clean, beautifully set in the Karoo. It's a must for travellers.
We were pleasantly surprised and enjoyed every moment. Delicious meals and very hospitable reception.
I was sick when we slept over at Celtis. The staff really cared. Most wonderful people and the restaurant food was top notch. Will definitely stay over again. The beds were incredibly comfortable.
Quiet, clean and absolute pleasure to stay there.
The room was comfortable and clean. The breakfast that was included was delicious. It was also very convenient as there was a restaurant on the property for dinner.
The luxurious rooms, the stylish furniture and bedding, the thorough information sheet - everything contributed to the fact that I could flatter my tired body into bed with great contentment. And the deep fried milk tart is simply amazing!
Beautiful, peaceful place to stay. Very neat and clean.
This was our first stop on our honeymoon. Thank you for all the effort and beautifying the room.
Well equipped with friendly and prompt service. The restaurant's food is excellent.
Stayed and ate very well.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Delicious dinner and breakfast useful and deliciously restful. Would definitely recommend it.
Excellent place to stay! Clean, tidy, friendly service and safe. Will stay there again and again! Restaurant with incredibly delicious food. Well done Celtis!
We didn't arrive until half past 7 in the evening, but what a pleasant surprise! The place is beautiful, food was delicious and the service was some of the best we have ever received. We were personally escorted to our unit and carried on our hands.
Jewel in the Karoo and very friendly and helpful staff.
The staff go out of their way to make it as comfortable as possible.
Nice, super clean, friendly, delicious restaurant with good food and not too expensive. Will spend the night there again!
I was in Middelburg for the Wolfees at the end of June and someone from the area recommended Celtis. It was absolutely perfect for my needs: nice decor, spacious and comfortable, lovely bedding, air conditioning and electric blanket for the freezing cold, delicious food at the on-site restaurant. There was phase 4 power shedding but the hotel was still able to keep lights on in the rooms and their restaurant was still able to provide food - they were well prepared with generator and were very helpful. Many thanks to the whole team - it was great.
First overnight stay at Celtis. Will stay there again in the future.
The rooms were nice and clean and well furnished.
Ideal stopover, have already recommended to a few friends.
Highly recommended.
Lovely place to sleep, and fantastic restaurant, children's playground and swimming pool! Couldn't ask for better!
Celtis really went the extra mile for us. They set up a cot in our room for our little boy, at no extra cost. Beautiful, neat. Involved owners, friendly staff.
Delicious breakfast.
We were kindly received and the service is excellent, my granddaughter covered her tablet with the blanket, we forgot it there and they brought it to us at the breakfast table.
Everyone was so helpful on arrival. Room was beautiful. Breakfast was very nice and everyone is so friendly.
A good night's sleep and a very nice breakfast included! We will definitely come again!
Very comfortable, excellent food, great people.
Nice restaurant with play area. Rooms have everything you need for a good night's rest.
Service is very good and friendly. Sleeping place is neat and restaurant is delicious.
Clean, tidy, hot shower, enough blankets and towels. Restaurant's food and service are good.
The service was extremely professional yet comfortable. The prices were reasonable and the accommodation was spotless and tidy. The on-site restaurant makes it worth it. The food was also delicious.
We enjoyed a delicious dinner with Lourens and his restaurant members. It rained almost all night which made the sleep very pleasant. Even if there was load shedding, it did not bother the guests because of the large diesel generator and PV panels and batteries.
Chyanne gave us such a friendly welcome and when my son joined us and I needed to find an extra room, they moved us to a family suite without any hassle. The food and drinks are delicious and incredibly good value for money. If I go to visit my son again, I won't stay anywhere else.
Nice stay! Last time we were in a nicer, newer room. The bathroom in the room needs some work. But otherwise - fantastic. With the tastiest breakfast options!
Very special place! Clean and tidy, friendly customer service and delicious food! We slept very comfortably and had a great time relaxing!
Lovely lodge and a perfect halfway stop on the way back to Johannesburg. We were in room 4. Beautiful rooms and comfortable beds. We also had a nice dinner by the pool, was great after a long day on the road. One small frustration was that there was no milk in our unit for a cup of tea.
Comfortable and tidy overnight accommodation. I suggest they get decent bathroom floor towels or mats as the ones provided are very slippery when wet and my daughter injured herself slipping. Fresh milk in the room would have been welcome, especially since I asked for it. The internet connection did not work at all. The breakfast that was included was very nice!
The stay was pleasant and tidy. The service at reception and the restaurant was very slow and the staff should pay more attention to professionalism. It is poor to discuss other guests and their requests in public.
Friendly staff, rooms are very neat and the restaurant's food is delicious.
Neat room with semi self-catering facilities and WiFi, restaurant on site with good food and breakfast and play area for kids. Will definitely stay there again, thanks.
The place is comfortable. It was really refreshing to find such a good place. The food was delicious. Errol was very helpful.
Child-friendly play area and swimming pool. Restaurant staff were friendly and considerate. Accommodation and facilities were well appointed.
Very hospitable. Excellent rooms. Got up in the morning with no power and kitchen did a great job of providing everyone with breakfast before we hit the road again. Well done Celtis.
Food excellent. Room everything you need. Very friendly helpful people.
Karoo hospitality. Delicious food. A surprise in the middle of The Karoo on Middelburg. Pleasant staff. Rooms accessible and site layout comfortable for the visually impaired.
This was by far the most comfortable and well appointed overnight lodge we have ever stayed in. Friendly staff and owners, great restaurant and the neat residential units that made us feel like we were at home! We will definitely stay there again! Thank you all.
Everything was clean, neat and tidy.
We couldn't check in until after 9, but Celtis sent us their menu so we could order food that they left in the room which helped a lot after a long drive. Very neat and clean.
Comfortable. And a pleasant stay.
Fantastic service and lovely food!
See stars.
As a painstakingly neat and organized person with high standards, I found my stay extremely pleasant, you could immediately sense that genuine rural warmth and authenticity with value for your money, punctual cleanliness, security and those Karoolam chops were mouth-wateringly delicious. I can highly recommend Celtis Country Lodge as a guest house.
Effortless process. Professional staff.
Well located and good accommodation.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic, we had the chef call to thank her for the excellent food she prepared. Best food we've had at a restaurant in a long time.
Lots of space, well located and value for money.
Our room was clean and tidy. It was nice to enjoy dinner at the on-site restaurant after a long day on the road. The food was delicious and the service excellent! We wanted to leave again early in the morning and had breakfast by 06:45. Again, very good food and service! Can definitely recommend Celtis and will definitely stay there again. The location is excellent and we felt very safe.
The onsite restaurant has a great menu too. Staff always helpful.
Chalet is very nice and comfortable. Everything you need. Restaurant food was slightly disappointing.
We were well received by a friendly team!
Beautiful large residential units. Play area for smaller children and swimming pool and restaurant all together. Relax under the shade trees while children play and your meal is served to you. Delicious meals are offered. Friendly service.
Cozy, peaceful oasis in the Karoo.
We enjoyed it very much, nice and quiet.
Food was excellent, service could improve.
Celtis Country Lodge is located in a peaceful area. The grounds and room were neat. The on-site restaurant serves adequate dishes and the service is brisk.
The place is beautiful. Food is of above quality. The staff were helpful and friendly. The rooms are great, clean and spacious.
Nice beds and mattresses, bathroom adequate. The only negative of Celtis Lodge was the dinner which was not tasty. Portions were large, but not flavorful. Breakfast was adequate, and waiter was friendly and helpful.
Very nice stay, friendly people, very good food, clean rooms. The TV can be upgraded. Will definitely stay there again.
My wife and I enjoyed our stop-over at Celtics Country Lodge as part of our Garden Route road trip. The room was clean, the food was good and the staff were friendly.
Power was out which was beyond guesthouse's control. This meant that there was no water. My recommendation is that additional provision is made for water if the power is out. Going without water in toilets and faucets is not fun.
Rooms very neat and spacious enough. Food is delicious and restaurant is open all day. Secure parking behind electronic gate.
Room was very nice clean and comfortable. Restaurant was closed that night due to Covid but breakfast was good. Reception staff could really do with being friendlier and more hospitable. It was on January 1 and felt like we inconvenienced the institution a bit because it was a short notice discussion.
Slept and ate very well!
Management met our requests and we were able to have a good time.
Me & my daughter have a wonderful overnight stay at Celtis Lodge on the way to our seaside home! After a year like 2020 it was a welcome reprieve to just put us in a complete holiday mood!
Neat, clean, beautiful and spacious rooms. Easy to find the place in a good part of Middelburg. Friendly staff who go out of their way. They even accommodated us with our 3 month old baby. Nice restaurant on site.
Friendly reception, nice room, everything neat and clean and the meals were delicious!
Cute lodge will use their service again.
After a long day's driving, we were surprised to see in a fairly neglected village this beautifully maintained oasis and gem, Celtis Country Lodge. Effective management, personal service from the owners, friendly and helpful staff and spotless room and facilities ensure that we will definitely recommend it to friends and come back ourselves. 10/10!
Skoon, netjies, vriendelike diens en fantastiese kos! Lugversorging in kamers, swembad vir kinders en great speelterrein. Perfekte plek vir oornag op pad af na die kus/op pad op. Sal vir seker in die toekoms net hier oorbly!
The room was clean, staff were friendly.
It was great to arrive at a beautiful place with great service and friendly people after a long day on the road. The room is very nice and very well equipped. My children could play and swim and we had a great time relaxing. Our experience was like that of people who arrived at an Oasis in the hot Karoo. The restaurant's food is very tasty and very well priced. We would definitely recommend the wonderful place and even spend the night there again. Thank you very much!
An unexpected hideaway in a deserted town in the Karoo. Was extremely impressed with the accommodation, service and facility. The pool was a great welcome in the heat of the Karoo. The farm style breakfast was a great addition as well.
Lovely oasis in the Karoo with comfortable accommodation and a delicious restaurant.
One of the few places where there are enough wall plugs in the RIGHT places. A small suggestion is that the staff, after cleaning, test the TV to see if it is tuned correctly. The staff had to scramble around because the previous guests, like "normal people" pushed every precious button. Thanks to the man who responded so quickly. They see us again.
Nice air conditioning. Good linen and excellent mattress. Best steak we've had in a long time.
Rooms are super clean, air-conditioned. Restaurant food very good and well priced.
I can recommend Celtis to anyone looking for accommodation in Middelburg. It's safe, clean, tidy and their service was excellent. The restaurant's food was particularly tasty.
Visit the place for sure. You will be very surprised at how they are arranged.
Very nice rooms with delicious food.
Very nice place. We sleep over in Middelburg every year, but this is the first time at Celtis. Will not sleep at another place in Middelburg again. Nice rooms, and very good restaurant and food.
Very neat and clean accommodation and facilities. Staff very friendly and helpful. Only negative comment is that this is the only included breakfast where a person is limited to only 2 coffees or juices.
If I travel that way again I will definitely stay there.
Maggie arranged dinner for two by candlelight at our room's courtyard. We will never forget this special night. Will become our preferred stopover place on the way to Cape Town.
This is 1 of the gems I discovered during my trip. Excellent and friendly service. Enjoyed a very nice dinner there too. I will stay there again anytime if I have to sleep in their area.
Lovely, neat, friendly accommodation, and your food was superb.
Good place to stay and tidy.
Friendly staff. Neat, clean and comfortable room. Nice to have restaurant on site.
We had a wonderful stay. It is perfectly set up for small children and very friendly staff. Our rooms were modern, spacious and beautiful.
Comfortable and above expectations.
Friendly service. Clean and neat. Value for money.
My husband and I have stayed at Celtis Country Lodge several times. We always experience high-quality service and will certainly use Celtis' facilities again.
Absolute perfect for a sleepover. Will definitely stay there again. Very clean and neat. Safe and secure and great service. The food was good, a bit pricey for what we got.
Very neat, nice with good value for money. Thank you.
We stayed there on the way to Plettenberg Bay. We were received very kindly by the manager. Enjoyed a delicious dinner in the restaurant and was served very promptly by Naomie.
Thank you Celtis for the delicious food and very neat place. Als was 100% except stars. It was cloudy. So we'll just have to visit again, right?
We were a couple and two single ladies. The facilities and service were second to none, the fact that there are no doors in front of the bathrooms was a bit embarrassing for the singles. A towel had to serve as a curtain. We will go again, especially if we are alone, or make a request for a separation. Good value for money, thank you.
Can wholeheartedly recommend it.
There were children who made a bit of noise when I wanted to rest a bit in the afternoon and late night arrivals who talked loudly and woke me up, but otherwise the stay was very pleasant. Eat well.
Clean, safe, conveniently located and a very nice restaurant on the premises. Will definitely sleep here again.
Didn't have hot water after 7 hours on the road. Reported this to management and the explanation I get is that other guests have already used the hot water. I set the alarm for early next morning, but still no hot water. After investigation it is found power was off. Came home to take a shower.
We were pleasantly surprised at the stay. The kids enjoyed swimming and playing. Nice restaurant on site. Would stay here again. Very clean and neat.
Very clean, five star service.
Value for money. Delicious food.
Nice place, friendly people, good food.
Celtis County Lodge surprised us with their quality service and delicious food. The rooms are neat and have a welcoming atmosphere. Excellent value for money.
Was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and luxury of the accommodation.
Lovely stay, reception very good immediately felt welcome. Restaurant food from the top shelves and very friendly service. Very friendly to professional.
See stars.
Very friendly service and good place to stay.
Clean, comfortable rooms.
We had a lovely stay at Celtis Country Lodge. The family self-catering unit is beautiful with everything you need. The rooms were nicely lit. The restaurant's breakfast was generous! What a nice place to stay!
People in the streets incredibly friendly.
Clean and tidy. We were received quite kindly. Room very nice clean and comfortable. Enjoyed dinner there. Food was nice, but we waited more than an hour for 2 plates of food.
Neat, clean and safe! The children had fun playing and we all had fun swimming too. They have a restaurant that is convenient for dinner and/or breakfast.
Great experience after a long day on the road. Lovely gardens. Restaurant's food was tasty and the service was good. Our unit was spacious and clean. Experiencing delicious karoo hospitality.
We had a wonderful stay. The place is nice and tidy and the staff very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again.
Would not hesitate to stay here again anytime or to refer anyone to Celtis.
Excellent, thanks for the great service.
Thank you for wonderful accommodation.
Friendly service and very tidy.
We stay here every year and will again.
Will definitely recommend and visit again.
Restaurant - we waited more than an hour for food, pizza was still raw, then waited another 30 minutes to get it done, chicken was hard. The manager (very nice and helpful) gave us discount for the bad food. Far too few staff for the number of guests, staff very friendly try their best. Friendly and helpful staff. Average accommodation, old towels, restaurant service was slow and questionable food!
Curt reception. Restaurant staff needs training.
I love this place! Clean and neat, good service and it is beautiful there. Thank you very much.
Covered parking would have been nice.
The perfect overnight stop on our way to the Cape. The facilities are very neat and safe. The staff are friendly and helpful. Dinner was good quality and very reasonably priced. Will definitely stay at Celtis Country Lodge again.
Delicious meals and definitely value for money.
Very good service from genuinely friendly staff.
Pleasantly surprised with this beautiful place. Good value for money. Comfortable and clean overnight facilities and an excellent restaurant, food and service! We will definitely stay here again!
Very good, tidy accommodation with an excellent restaurant on site. Good bedding and towels and electric blanket switched on to sleep in a nice warm bed.
We were welcomed very kindly and even the owner came to start a chat. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who just wants to stay overnight. Restaurant on site which made it very convenient. We were surprised to be able to eat even the tastiest turtles and home-made pie. The prices are very reasonable and the portions hopelessly too big. We drove a long way from Johannesburg and would like to sit back on a comfortable couch. We have also already recommended Celtis Country Lodge on social media. Will definitely stay there again.
We had such a good stay and the staff are very helpful and will help where they can. The rooms are very neat and the internet works well.
Nice room, sorry two beds and not a double, and toilet doesn't have a door which is not nice. But both dinner in the restaurant as well as breakfast were very nice.
The warm water disappeared quite quickly, but as for the rest it's a very neat and warm place for a getaway.
Very nice stay, we will come again. The best is the restaurant. Please suggest that you put a small bar fridge in each room. Middelburg is hot in the summer and will be handy to keep water or a cold drink cold. I am also diabetic and need to keep my insulin cold and without a fridge in the room it is impossible.
We enjoyed it very much! The room was very neat. The customer service was excellent! Would love to stay there again.
Perfect for overnight.
Thank you LekkeSlaap, you made our booking easy. I don't know if the guesthouse management was already tired of the holiday traffic, but it seemed that way. The pile of carpets in front of our room door, which still needed to be stored, remained there from our arrival, until we left, the next morning. I just folded it up and left it in our room. There is a water shortage in Middelburg, with the necessary notices in the rooms, but our room's sink faucet was leaking. That settles the trouble. The manager on duty in the restaurant during dinner, 'hung' at the counter, and mastered his mobile phone. The service staff provided their best service. Compliments to them. The meal was flavorful enough, and the portions adequate. The deep-fried milk tart was a novelty I was looking forward to, but the first attempt was still frozen, and the second's dough was still raw in places. Our room was nicely decorated, and comfortable enough. The wi-fi wouldn't connect, but I can't necessarily blame the guest house for that. The takeaway breakfast packs are a good idea, as many guests may leave early. It would help if all the choices offered were available, which they were not. To match my comments I would say that it doesn't quite justify the cost. Considering the number of staff working there, I assume it requires quite a sum to cover all costs, but then I should be able to say, "Wow!!!", but unfortunately I can't. The country friendliness does not justify all the slips of the hospitality letter.
Not welcoming. Beds comfortable. Rules very off-putting and having to sign an indemnity does not make one feel safe!
Definitely a place to stay the night. From arrival to check-out, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The units were spacious and tidy. The food was very tasty! I would recommend them for sure!
The service was fantastic, the food delicious, the gardens beautiful and cared for, the rooms clean and fresh. I would recommend it anytime. We just stopped here on dad's way to PE.
Very convenient in terms of the location for a 'stopover' on the way to Cape Town and because there is a good restaurant on site. The staff is wonderful!
CCL is my first choice for overnight accommodation in Middelburg in the future.
The beds were comfortable, the lamb stew was unbelievable and the service was fantastic. I would stay again and recommend it to anyone.
Clean and tidy and the restaurant is conveniently located on site.
Ten out of ten for fantastic overnight facilities! The reception was fantastic and the way the facilities are put together makes it a brilliant consideration for overnight accommodation.
Wonderful experience with friendly service and delicious food.
It was truly value for money. Friendly staff, a nice room and delicious food. What more can I say?
Would highly recommend Celtis Country Lodge as accommodation in Middelburg.
Sink in kitchenette was dirty (leftover food). Buildings are old and need attention. Well equipped. Friendly reception.
The stay was very pleasant, but prefer to eat elsewhere. A little supervision and training in the kitchen would be a big improvement.
Booking by LekkeSlaap works smoothly and is a pleasure to use. I will definitely use the service again in the future. The service at Celtis Country Lodge is excellent and you immediately feel at home.
Slept very well, very friendly staff.
