18 guests' feedbackWe felt like we were reunited with old friends, with Francis & Barnie.
Everything was top notch, from the rooms, the location, the management, and the place is very safe.
Exceptionally beautiful guest house with all the amenities and character to make you feel at home immediately.
Great experience, service and hospitality excellent.
Awesome staff and very helpful, didn't mind making us a fire on the Friday night for when we got back from the wedding venue and stayed up longer to help. Rooms are very nice and clean and they all went out of their way to help all three of our couples and make them feel welcome.
Neat and delicious breakfast. Friendly helpful staff.
Had a nice stay, accommodation is great, food is good, people are friendly.
Received very friendly service with a very nice breakfast. The guest house is beautiful and really in the center of town. Easy to get anywhere.
We visited family in Lydenburg.
Beautiful garden, peaceful atmosphere.
Just got incredibly hot. The one little window meant that no air was drawn through the room. An air conditioner in the room is a must, then I would have given the guest house a 10/10.
Well maintained and beautifully furnished guesthouse. It was a perfect overnight stay for us. The breakfast was the best we've had in a long time. I'll gladly recommend De Ark Guesthouse.
Would recommend to anyone, and would also spend the night there myself should the opportunity present itself.
Clean - beautifully decorated and comfortable.
An excellent guesthouse and value for money. Offers great breakfasts and dinners. The decor of the rooms is of high quality and super neat.
Central to town. It can get busy.
De Ark is such a beautiful place - everything was just the best from reception by the owners to our departure the next day. What a lovely stay - peaceful, friendly and everything just tops. The rooms are beautiful with top quality linen and interior, and the theatre on the premises just makes it more special. We would definitely go there again and strongly recommend to our family (old and young), friends and acquaintances.
Thank you for great service. Both of our technicians were satisfied and speak highly of the general package. Highly recommended.
