86 guests' feedbackPeaceful and comfortable.
The people are so friendly and went out of their way to help me because I arrived late. The cottage was everything I hoped for and I had a wonderful night. Thanks so much!
Zanele is excellent. Carried us on her hands. German beer was delicious and cold.
My team was made to feel very welcome and was very impressed with their accommodation and service provided.
We had a really relaxed overnight stay at Edi's where the room was most comfortable, and the food and service were great!
Was a fantastic weekend. The staff were very hospitable and helpful.
Everything was amazing. Lovely people running the place. Most beautiful view from the restaurant's stoep. Walking distance from the river. Do yourself a favor.
Very friendly owner and staff, very comfortable accommodation, overall a very pleasant experience. Only drawback was the sulphur smell in the water. We were assured that it had been filtered and was drinkable, but I would recommend that visitors take their own drinking water as the smell was very strong.
The accommodation was clean, spacious, well-appointed and very comfortable. The host went out of her way to assist where possible and to make our stay pleasant. The meal was well-prepared and the service was great, but the view from the dining/patio was absolutely stunning. Don't miss this.
I would definitely go back there. The place is beautiful and clean, the staff are very helpful and friendly. The views are stunning and quiet. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family for future stays. Chalets are well-equipped and for load shedding as well. Lots of places of interest to go to close by.
Exceeding expectations.
Accommodation neat and clean. People very friendly and helpful. Food excellent. It was nice to enjoy the German beer with the view of the valley. Can definitely recommend Edi's.
Very nice and very friendly and nice people. Had a great sleep.
Just 2 points I was not happy with. 1) I was just disappointed that I had no hot water in the shower at night and in the morning. I let the shower run for like 5 minutes and still no hot water. Hence, I left so early Sunday morning, skipped breakfast, to go home and shower. 2) The gate having to be opened and closed manually. At night, it is very scary for a female to be doing such.
On arrival, the lady that cooks/cleans welcomes you. Very untidy place, torn lace curtains in the room. Powdered milk and had to ask for coffee, etc. for our room. Owners made no effort to meet us before we left. That place is a dying business and it's sad to see no effort put in to tidy/clean and see to your customers. I would like to buy the farm and turn it into a proper venue; it has plenty of potential but unfortunately not with the existing owners.
Stunning rooms, beautiful views, the most awesome staff, and excellent food and service.
Many thanks to the owners for their kindness and hospitality.
Edi's was a wonderful experience with ice cold German beer, delicious German dishes, warm hospitality and lovely warm rooms. The dust in the room was truly a wonderful asset and ensured that the cold of the environment stayed outside the door. We will visit there again without hesitation and will always highly recommend it. Thank you so much Rob and Lillian.
Was excellent. We will definitely go again.
Neat, slept well. Load shedding caused that there was no water and it is suggested that something can be done about the water tank. It's slimy.
The service is very good. We did not wait to be helped. We felt welcome and at home. It's a very nice place for a large group of people. The whole place was for our use only.
Nothing is too much trouble for Lilian. We had a wonderful German dinner and breakfast.
Very friendly, helpful staff. Clean, comfortable beds. A little tired in some areas - leaking gutters, new coat of paint needed in some areas. Plenty of hot water and a big shower head. Nice area for walks and local attractions.
Lilian is a hostess with the mostest. She went out of her way to do everything she could to make our stay confortable after a vicious hail storm.
We will "sleep over" there again. Friendly and helpful. Thank you.
The restaurant does not provide a menu. Choice is 3 dishes for dinner. Food was very nice and well priced but should not be advertised as a restaurant. It creates expectations.
The location is good. The owners are very friendly and see to the needs of the customers. The food needs to be upgraded. There should be a TV in each room. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
Quiet, peaceful place with great view with hosts who go out of their way to make you feel at home. Had a great time in restaurant that provided exceptional food, even though there was loadshedding. They even provided a flask for next morning's coffee water with Eskom problems. Also started generator to make sure water supply is adequate.
Absolutely loved it. Thank you to Carol and Lilian at Edi's. The staff are helpful and nothing is too much for them.
Really nice overnight stay in a huge room with comfortable beds. Des is an amazing host and we had a lovely supper.
We had both supper and breakfast at the restaurant. Breakfast was delicious. Although supper was very enjoyable I really think that the sausage platter for two could have had two of each sausage on and not only one each to share. Especially having been on the road for most of the day that was a little bit of a letdown.
Vey conveniently located, friendly and good service. This place has the potential to become even better. I would recommend it.
Hospitality was great, food was delicious. Will definitely stay there again.
Accommodation and restaurant was awesome, beautiful views.
Beautiful surroundings and lots of hospitality. Big rooms and very clean.
The owners and staff are so friendly. The food was good! Overall a great stay and will most certainly be back!
The setting is lovely. The people are friendly. Great place to stay. Can recommend to anyone. The WiFi was rather slow, but load shedding is an issue for everyone.
We enjoyed staying there, although we experienced loadshedding that was fortunately handled very good by owner.
The people here are extremely friendly and helpful in meeting people. The place had definitely been there for a while and could see work being done to receive guests.
Breakfast was good, the rooms were clean. Dinner was excellent. Thanks Lillian and Des, we will visit again.
We experienced a lovely afternoon and evening on site. Our children raved about the lawn and the friendly service.
It's a good location to explore the Midlands Meander. Clean and functional in a German sort of way. Lillian is very helpful, always let you know what is happening - loadshedding wise, etc. Felt like a home away from home. Great German breakfast served there.
I would visit the establishment again, the staff was very helpful and friendly.
Ideal location. Good service. Good food. Very friendly.
Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Nice rest in the evening after a long day on the road. Close to many attractions.
All I can mention is just to replace the double bed's mattress.
The guest house is located between the mountains and the view from the veranda over the undulating surroundings is something special.
The owner Lilian really made a lot of effort for us and is really very friendly and helpful. Room is neat and clean and equipped with the essentials. The restaurant is a bit of a disappointment. We had high expectations because we love German food. The portions are very small and it was more of a South African meal with some sauerkraut. The restaurant staff also urgently needs training.
Breakfast could do with more choices.
Friendly service, good food, very cozy.
Owners go out of their way to make everything comfortable and convenient.
We really enjoyed our visit there. The cottage is spacious and in good condition, and was suitable for 4 adults. We were also able to enjoy the restaurant, so there is also the option if you don't want to cook yourself. All that bothered me a bit is that the WiFi only works at the main building. But the beautiful view made up for it.
Clean and value for money.
Great stay, great food. Will be back soon.
The cottage was very well equipped, clean and tidy. The location is perfect, with the most breathtaking views. Also lots to do and see in the area. Would definitely recommend for a stopover on the way to the coast.
The accommodation was nice and clean, the kitchen could be a little better equipped but otherwise everything was in place.
Very friendly people, helped a lot, actually felt like old friends. Made you feel very at home and the food was very good, atmosphere is nice. Went out of their way every day to see if everything was ok and made suggestions where to go for the day.
Very friendly and hospitable people. Lovely stay.
Warm welcome. Ate at the restuarant and it was delicious, most delicious chips with different types of sausages. Breakfast the next morning was also very, very nice. Would have loved to stay longer to explore the Midlands further but was on my way to the sea. Definitely worth it.
The self-catering cottage was large, clean and comfortable.
The cottage is neat and clean. Edi received us generously and treated us like kings. The variety of German sausages and delicious beer complimented the stay.
We had a lovely stay at Edi's. Edi and Margit are great hosts.
We each got one pillow, our friends didn't have a kettle in their room, breakfast was served very late and not at the agreed time, breakfast was not as we requested; our coffee was in a small bowl in the room but rock hard in both rooms, our friends didn't have toilet paper the first night in their room.
Beautiful countryside location with nice view. Very spacious apartment with a lawn and braai facilities. Neat house. Basic kitchenware. Delicious, large breakfast available. A few restaurants nearby but grocery store not nearby.
Clean neat accommodation, great food and very central.
Breathtaking view, delicious German food.
Would like a fridge in the room. Owners are lovely friendly people.
Our say was wonderful. Really comfortable beds and very peaceful.
Our stay was a pleasant experience. Edi and Margit are very hospitable and friendly. The bratwurst was delicious and so were Edi's delicious schnapps surprises. The place is also very centrally located in Nottingham Road. Just one request to indicate whether the owners want cash for the remaining accommodation payment balance on arrival or alternatively provide the bank details of the owners to make a direct transfer. Thank you very much.
We spent 2 nights to explore the Midlands on our way to the sea. Nice central location and close to all the shops and restaurants. Accommodation was neat and clean.
Good location in Midlands, great friendly hosts - German food was great.
A beautiful view of the valley with a simple but wonderful German-Austrian lunch and delicious beer! Along with this, the place is blessed with a natural mineral spring that bubbles up from the depths of the earth's crust. All together it feels like somewhere in the Tyrol!
Hosts were very friendly, the room was what was to be expected. Had everything needed for one night stay. Was very noisy during the night as room was next to restaurant - people talking and dogs barking echoed into our room. Bed linen and towels were good.
Enjoyed the stay. Owner went out of their way to accommodate us. The guest house is centrally located with many interesting stalls and eateries in the area.
Stunning! The owners are wonderful people!
A small place located in Nottingham Road that definitely gets too little publicity. Friendly and hospitable. The best food my wife and I have eaten in a very long time. We definitely recommend them to anyone doing the Nottingham Road route.
The B&B was well located, neat and have amazing views. Would definitely recommend it.
We really enjoyed staying at Edi's, the owners were very friendly and helpful. Our rooms were very comfy and cosy and all that we needed for our stay. Thank you for your hospitality.
Excellent value for money, will definitely be back.
Would have liked a second bedside lamp in main bedroom and an extension cord to use with hairdryer at mirror.
Owner made us feel at home.
Stayed the night but could have stayed another day or two, friendly hosts, nothing was too much trouble, and we were made to feel at home. Will definitely be back.
Their place is not in the Drakensberg! Rather they are in the Midlands. We were very disappointed, will never go there again.
