79 guests' feedbackQuick and comfortable, everything we needed for our overnight stay.
Would definitely recommend! Warm blanket and heater on a freezing cold night. Host thoughtfully waited for us, even though we didn't arrive until after 8 in the evening.
Very nice stay, could even watch rugby!
Second time staying at Courageous, this time was booked in at room 5, was greeted at the gate and shown where the room was. The room was neat and tidy. A plus point was the electric blankets as it was quite cold that night. Courageous is the perfect stopover and will use them again.
Very nice place to stay.
Thank you very much for the good service and that it was clean. We felt safe. We brought our puppy with us and she was able to walk around safely outside under supervision. We will definitely stay again for a quick stopover.
I enjoyed my stay, after reading some of the reviews I was doubting my choice of accommodation. You get a rustic feel of the place when you enter. It's a perfect stop-over, but for people who are used to finer things in life, they would not find it to their taste. I will stay there again as I said, it is perfect for a stop-over.
Perfectly clean, neat and comfortable for our night's stay. The owners need to do some silicone work on the shower and handbasin, but besides that, it's perfect.
Absolutely. Hospitably received.
We had a wonderful stay, found the accommodation easily and experienced services very professionally and positively. Thank you very much!
Clean and tidy. Bag fits accommodation.
Comfortable rooms. Clean and tidy.
Indeed yes. Room was nice and warm.
Had a very pleasant stay, were given a bigger room, (no 8) instead of (no 6).
Johan and his team run a very neat accommodation. Just right for a stopover.
Compliments to Courageous for a beautiful overnight stay. Everything was spotless and from my arrival to my departure I received nothing but kindness. You are truly a ray of sunshine for your customers. Thank you very much.
See stars.
The door of my accommodation, room 3, is totally broken down. It falls apart. We spent the night with an unlocked door. According to the workers there, the door has been in this condition for quite a long time, and the owners of the BnB are fully aware of it.
Only intended for overnight stays. No bedside tables next to the bed, so you struggle a bit with a glass of water and your phone next to you. Also no sink except for the bathroom. You just have to rinse your drinking glass or cup in the bathroom.
The place is very clean. I did not feel safe in the room. There are no burglar bars on the windows or glass door. Between the rooms there was only a thin inner door. People chatted loudly until almost 10 o'clock. There is also no curtain in the sitting and dining room, only lace. It feels like someone is watching you.
We were 2 couples traveling together. We initially booked room 3 and 4 which are next to each other. On arrival we were informed that we would be staying in room 4 and 6. Room 6 is part of the large brick house and not a wooden house like rooms 3 and 4. Room 6 was neat and comfortable with a decent bed. There was cutlery available, but not full sets, so we could not use it for our meal. The crockery, kettle, fridge and television were sufficient. Have a nice shower. The room adjoins other rooms in the house with thin walls in between, so one can hear conversations from other rooms. Room 4 was one of the wooden houses on the farm. The room was not completely neat and clean. The door could not be locked from the inside. The beds were all 3 wobbly and mattresses not firm. One of the beds' electric blanket cord couldn't reach a wall plug. 2 different experiences, but price is the same for both rooms. The car gate works with a remote and does not close automatically. Some of the other guests left the gate open when they came in, which is not so pleasant. Depending on which room one gets, it is a comfortable place to stay overnight with basic facilities.
See stars.
Best place and the reception was great.
Very friendly hostess/reception. Beautiful room, well equipped, perfect for an overnight stay after a long day on the road. One of the best at affordable rates!
Absolute value for money. The owner upgraded our room without us asking. A big plus is the generator during load shedding. Very centrally located and neat and clean. Can definitely recommend the guest house.
We had a very nice stay. Perfect place to spend the night on the way to Durban. It was our second time visiting here and each time we were warmly welcomed. Top point, we got a better room without any extra charges. Would definitely recommend. Love the.
It was a wonderful stay, everything was perfectly fine. I don't have any complaints. It was also affordable.
Thank you very much for your hospitality, we enjoyed visiting there, just a pity it was for one night. Will definitely keep you guys in mind if we have work in Harrismith again or if we have to travel through Harrismith.
Safe and very neat rooms. Neatly furnished. Friendly reception. Would definitely recommend it.
Courageous Accommodation welcomed me and my little girl with open arms. We felt so safe, but also very peaceful. The owner and staff are very friendly and helpful. Will use them again.
In the main road for access but at the end of town, so as to not have heavy traffic noise. Owner had a few restaurant recommendations and didn't mind giving more coffee sachets when asked. The room was cleaned, we did not expect that, even though we only stayed there 2 nights.
Decided to sleep over very late at night. Booking was easy and helped right away.
Overnight stop with our family and granddaughter on the way to the sea. Really value for money, friendly reception and we would love to stop there again.
Nice for just sleeping over.
Booked unit 3 but got room 6. The closed door between the house and room is not soundproof, people moved in and out of the other room and I could hear almost every word of the conversations. Fortunately, I could turn up the TV. I was not notified in advance there was no water in Harrismith. Fortunately, with the help of the evening, I was able to flush the toilet and take a shower the next morning. Thank you, you took a good look at me.
The place is clean, staff very friendly and helpful. It is safe as well, enjoyed our stay.
We had a lekker time, the place was clean.
Comfortable room with large bed, TV, fridge, microwave, etc. The bathroom is basic but adequate. The bonus was a generator during load shedding. Good value.
We stayed over on 27 December and on 4 January - both stays were very restful, and the room has everything you need for a stopover.
Lekker place to stay and they upgraded since the last time we stayed there.
We decided on the spur of the moment to go see snow - after 7pm the hostess was still available for quick feedback and our booking. Once there we were warmly welcomed and the host even brought the children McFlurrys. The cottages were, as my 7 year old said, "exactly like the pictures"! It was just what we needed at a pocket-friendly price. 5 star!
I can recommend to people. Very accommodative to my wife and kids.
Great value for money and the host was amazing!
Lovely place. Wonderful people who accepted my dog children as people.
Overnight on the road on holiday. No power in Harrismith but owner didn't hesitate to turn on generator for our convenience. I definitely recommend it for overnight. Courageous has everything you need to rest up and continue your journey fresh and clean. And anyone who wants to stay for longer will not regret it.
Wow, 10 out of 10 for hospitality. We had a very nice stay. Would definitely recommend Courageous Accommodation.
I initially made the booking, but I was not there first, my partner arrived before I did. Called the owner and he had no issues with letting him in and showing him our room which was really nice and clean I must say. It was cosy and romantic, just how I had envisioned it. Thank you so much for making our stay as pleasant as possible.
Good booking experience and found the accommodation in a quite suburb without any problem. Happy with the room and host alleviated powercut in the morning by switching on a generator.
Hostess went out of her way to make us feel at home, will definitely stay there again.
Perfect place for overnight stay.
The owner is amazing. Always willing to go an extra mile for her guests. I'm definitely coming back.
Units were clean and tidy. Ideal for 1 night's sleepover.
The rooms are quite small, but have most of the requirements. The bathroom door and toilet seat in room two are broken.
Perfect if you just want to sleep over and are looking for something neat, comfortable, clean and central.
Friendly people.
Cozy for travelers. Suggestions: The Garmin GPS takes you to the neighbors. Bright lights on the welcome signs and directions to the gate for those arriving in the evening would go a long way. And restore the hot water in the shower. Thank you very much.
Upon arrival, no one knew what was going on. We had to wait outside and struggle to get hold of the owner. Rooms we booked were not available on the day. No one was helpful, room keys were just given. We had been there for a total of 2 hours, at which point we decided to pack our bags and drive. No one contacted us or asked if everything was okay. We just feel this was not hospitable at all and will definitely not make a reservation there again. I hope the owner takes note of the above and takes it into account for future guests.
The place is clean above expectation as seen on photos.
Tidy. People very friendly. Place has everything one needs.
Neat, clean and comfortable.
Received very friendly service. Everything was nice and clean and in place.
Thank you Johan and Tanya. You went out of your way to make sure we were comfortable and looked after.
Place is very cute. We were 3 adults and then it is a bit cramped. But for singles or parents with a child it will work well.
Very welcoming & beautiful. I would recommend it to anyone traveling in Harrismith. Beautiful view.
Made a lot of effort and even put my baby in a cot in which he can sleep. My little boy thought it was his second home, and our dog was at ease.
It is very beautiful, but the road there has an awful lot of potholes.
Very quiet place. I wish to visit again.
Very neat and cute place. Was just awfully hot and would prefer firmer mattresses or perhaps air conditioning. Remember to tell guests to turn on the geyser or you'll end up in a cold shower.
Neat, clean and value for money.
Tanya was really helpful but there are little things that need attention like making sure enough towels are put out for visitors staying over, we got 2 but were 3 people, maybe a shower mat before the shower to make sure that you don't slip when you get out, fixing the basket in the shower against the wall so that your toiletries don't fall out because the basket hangs around the faucet head, a small washcloth or drying towel for washing and drying the coffee cups and spoons as there is no place to wash them and you have to wash your coffee cups in the bathroom sink. Furthermore, the accommodation is a nice, peaceful and ideal place to spend the night if you only want to drive halfway to the sea and don't fancy the long way.
The accommodation was good for an overnight stop, especially if you are coming in late at night. Management were fully prepared in terms of directions, instructions and convenience.
I called Johan and told him that the faucet was not working, he complained that the guests turned the faucet too tight and that was the problem. He didn't come to see if he could come and see what was wrong. After 20 minutes of struggle we got it open. The next morning it was the same story. The tap is a cheap stop tap that you use outside that you don't open and close a lot.
We were welcomed very kindly. Was able to take a nice hot shower and sleep well after the day's journey.
The room is comfortable, clean and tidy. Johan and his family are very pleasant and friendly people and make that extra effort to make you feel comfortable. He even ordered and personally picked up our pizzas.
We were very satisfied and it was exactly what we had in mind: neat, nice decor, overnight accommodation with a TV and WiFi. Thank you very much that my boy could play so well with you while my husband and I could watch a nice movie. Everything was perfect, but if I could name one thing that I would change it would be the double bed mattress. He is very soft, like a waterbed, I wouldn't be able to sleep on him for more than one night. I don't want to complain because I was really satisfied, but if I can give advice, just get another double bed mattress then everything is 100%. Maybe other people like it and it's just me. We will use your accommodation again and thank you for your hospitality.
Make you feel at home. Neat, clean rooms. Very nice for a night's rest for the long road ahead.
It is very neat and clean. We were received very kindly. It is the ideal place for an overnight stay on the way to the sea.
