80 guests' feedbackIt was delicious. Quiet and very comfortable. It was such a beautiful place.
Slept very nice and warm in the cold weather.
We had a very nice stay. The service was excellent and the biscuit did the trick with your morning coffee. Thank you very much for an excellent time with you.
We really enjoyed our stay in Delphi! After a long day's work at Kragdag, our room was a very welcome sight and we were quickly relaxed. The room was nice clean and spacious, and we had all the necessary facilities to stay there for a weekend. The theme/decor was very tasteful - we were surprised when we opened the doors, the white and mint color scheme presented calmly and very nicely. The hidden kitchenette inside the closet was beautiful and perfectly large enough and equipped with everything we needed. The bed and bedding were very comfortable and clean and we rested well. We didn't miss a television or WiFi at all! Within the yard/property there were many trees and vegetation giving each unit a lot of privacy, we never saw or heard our neighbors, only when we drove past their units. Our hostess was Mia, and she kept us informed the whole time about the "load shedding/load reduction" schedule, where to get extra lights as we were going to need them, even where there were nice places to eat! Thanks to management, we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely recommend to family and friends visiting that area in the future.
Blah blah and many more blah blah blah.
Greeted us kindly and turned on heaters. Thanks for that. Lovely shower with good water pressure which makes it a pleasure.
Yep, nice and comfortable stay. Thank you very much.
A real hidden gem and exceeded all our expectations.
It was awesome. The host is very welcoming and friendly. The premises are beautiful and divine - very peaceful and serene.
Quiet, clean and tidy. Hospitality and help together. Will definitely use the wonderful getaway again.
Very calm and quiet. Get away from the city's noise. The unit was well equipped and clean.
Had a great stay.
Pleasant stay, thank you. Clean and interesting decor. Bed linen was of good quality and beds felt crisp and clean, thank you.
Yes, comfortable and friendly. Clean stuff.
Very good overnight stay.
Only the inside of the room looks like the photo, but the rest of the place is overgrown with NO maintenance on site. The courtyard of the room is overgrown on the walls and branches push through the security door. The room was clean, but the bed was made up. An outdoor barbecue would be good, but the place is overgrown with little visibility from the parking area to the front door. I had to break branches to walk.
There's nothing to add.
We stayed in Studio Delphi. What a cute studio! The place was very spacious and the bathroom! Wow! Everything we needed was there! We will come back again anytime!
We were welcomed very kindly, the room was beautiful, clean and tidy. I would recommend them any day.
Thank you very much for the hospitality, the exceptionally beautiful and tidy place. Very peaceful atmosphere and we were close to als. Had a nice warm sleep and a hot shower and I was regularly notified when there was load shedding. Will return anytime.
We enjoyed our stay.
Very tasteful, for the price it is absolutely the best place. Many thanks to Babbette, we will definitely come and stay again.
Basically just slept there, could come and go as we pleased.
Very nice place, would recommend to anyone anytime.
Lovely overnight stay at Elwanu. Clean, tidy and safe. Can recommend it!
Will definitely be back.
We stayed at Elwanu for one night. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was just what we needed: clean and private. The doggies were a lovely surprise in the morning, and the beautiful rusks and fresh milk supplied for our tea and coffee were perfect! I would maybe recommend including some fresh drinking water because we were not sure if the water was fine to drink from the taps. But otherwise, we had exactly what we needed. The only reason I gave 4 stars for security was because we felt it was strange that the gentlemen showing us our room felt the need to point out where the panic button was, as if it should be a concern to us. But we felt safe in any case because we obviously then knew about the panic button, but also all the entrances had security gates. We had a lovely stay overall, and we would definitely go back there and refer friends and family as well! Thanks for your amazing hospitality!
Not sure if there was Wi-Fi or not. Did not try to use it.
Babette is a pleasant and good hostess. The unit was clean and tidy. Well equipped. Quiet and safe. Good choice for accommodation in the Cullinan area.
The service was very friendly. Good value for money and very tidy.
This quaint space is very convenient for exploring the little village of Cullinan with its many eating places and interesting old railway siding.
Was there for the Book Festival. However, we had to cut our visit short due to an emergency at home.
Beautiful place. Unit was private. Service was excellent.
Quiet, lovely garden and clean. A lot of time spent beautifying the unit. Thank you very much!
Very neat guest house with good security.
We were received very kindly, even the dogs made us feel welcome. The room was clean and tidy. All that was needed is there. Will go there again to relax.
Beautiful place, friendly welcome, slept warm, felt safe thank you thank you.
Upon our arrival we were very kindly received, taken to our cottage. We had a great time in a little house in the woods, so peaceful, beautifully clean and tidy, and of course the most delicious biscuits. The owners definitely go the extra mile for their guests! Thank you very much, it was an unforgettable experience.
The environment is very quiet and peaceful. Just what we needed. Owner went out of her way for us. We can confidently recommend Elwanu.
Nice, neat and comfortable.
Lovely accommodation, clean and safe. Definately going back there.
I loved our stay, the accommodation was a pleasant surprise, the photos don't do it justice. We stayed in the Delphi cottage and it was a little palace. The bed was very comfy, shower worked well, also had a lovely bath. The room had a small kitchenette which has a fridge, microwave and coffee station. Babette really went out of her way to make the place feel special, she really brought such detail to the place to make it feel comfy. She is also very considerate and gives you ideas of what to do, and when load shedding is happening. There is no Wi-Fi or TV in the room, but this didn't bother us and was communicated upfront.
We have stayed here before, before Covid. The gardens are terribly neglected, and attention can be paid to them.
Was only 1 night - not much to say.
The apartment was neat and clean. The shower drain was blocked and was reported. Site is tree-rich with plants - very beautiful! Low branches over walkways should only be pruned open as well as climbing plants against walls.
Owner was friendly and very helpful. Place was neat and clean and the area was nice and quiet.
The environment quiet and safe.
Thank you Yesterdaysdream for making our weekend extra special! I will definitely recommend your place. Clean, tidy, beautiful, safe, green, friendly!
Very nice place and very friendly.
The most beautiful vintage B&B! They are very friendly and delicious food! Clean and very neat!
It's my second visit and certainly not my last. Can recommend it with confidence. Rustic, friendly reception - everything and much more!
From the moment you stop there until you drive again, you realize that there are still guesthouses that make you feel so at home! It is so neat and breathtakingly beautiful!
Ease of location because we were there together as friends even though we were checked into the wrong unit and not the one that was available and paid for. Reservation was for the New Bethesda unit and we were placed in a different unit a few cottages from the original place, but the service and facilities and the rooms were all beautiful and I would recommend it to anyone looking for affordable accommodation.
Very calm. I asked for chocolate and champagne, request was fulfilled. Very friendly. Breakfast was very tasty and to recommend. It was delicious.
Nice if you just want to sleep over, not if you want to visit.
The unit met all our requirements and is conveniently close to all the tourist destinations in Cullinan.
Comfortable sleeping place. Beautiful garden.
We were very satisfied with the spacious houses. Thank you for the detail.
Neat, safe and great atmosphere.
I really enjoyed my stay.
Spacious and private.
We spent little time at the room as we were in Cullinan for a wedding. The room was clean and tidy, the surroundings peaceful and everything we needed was provided. We were warmly received.
We moved to another unit at the guest house's request - but the unit was definitely less equipped and smaller than the one booked.
At Yesterdays Dream you have to live in the past. Although I was aware in advance that there was no TV, there was also no WiFi, poor cell phone reception and the cheapest in terms of bathroom and kitchen. I turn the shower on and the shower head falls off, can't get it back. At least there were magazines instead of TV, just a shame it was already 2 years old. The vegetation to the paths was not cut. In the evening you walk the "Absalom route", somewhere your hair or your eyes will reluctantly meet the branches. I think the owners do adjust their rates, but not the facilities. I don't expect everything to be modern, but some of the basics are missing here, at the same price as others that offer much better. And I do wish that all self-catering places provided appropriately sized fridges and not the small bar type. And if it is in a warmer climate or in the summer, make sure there is ice in the freezer compartment. Otherwise I have to buy a bag of ice, which doesn't fit in the small fridge anyway. The bed was good. The towels, although past their prime, were clean. I would say: if you get there poo-poo and want to collapse on a bed to sleep immediately and only want to drink coffee the next morning - yes, sleep over, but then a reduced rate.
Babette's directions were very accurate. Yesterdaysdream is well located for a perfect escape from the city. Our place was cute, very well equipped, clean and tidy. The affordable, delicious breakfast exceeded our expectations. The decor in our cottage as well as in the dining room was interesting and tasteful. Yesterdaysdream's gardens have lovely little paths that invite one to wander and find something new at every turn. What a wonderful experience, thank you Babette!
Wonderful guest house. Babette goes out of her way to ensure that you are welcomed and that you have everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible! Would definitely recommend the breakfast - Babette made a breakfast that is fit for a king or a queen. We thoroughly enjoyed it! The garden is a dream and you can easily get lost for a few hours. Every time we walked, we found new treasures to feast our eyes upon. Even the dogs are welcoming - made it a weekend to remember.
Very friendly reception and pleasantly surprised that everything corresponds to photos and references. Very quiet, neat accommodation. Sufficient provision for the cold wash was provided which we were very grateful for. Thank you Babette for everything!
Room clean and good breakfast.
What a wonderful place. Makes you feel like you are in a fairy tale. Let you relax and forget about the busy city life. The food is 5 star quality. Will visit the place again for sure.
We had a nice stay at Yesterdays Dream and had a friendly reception and service. We had everything that we needed and the breakfast was fantastic.
A quiet getaway, clean and well-equipped rooms. Delicious breakfast and wonderful hospitality.
Friendly, warm atmosphere. Cute units, tasteful decor. A must-stay.
The cottage was lovely, some suggestions: a rusk for with the coffee would be nice. We were encouraged to have breakfast in town due to staff shortage. But accommodation was cozy and the was bed comfortable.
Yesterdaysdream is the perfect name for the beautiful accommodation. What a "charming" place! The vegetation is amazing. The unit, Baardskeerdersbos, was very spacious, well equipped and private. The breakfast was delicious and the effort that goes into it is worth noting. We would recommend Yesterdaysdream for sure!
Such a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway close to home (Pretoria).
We enjoyed the venue. We were welcomed with open arms and the breakfast was top notch!
We spent one night in the Rose room. Very neat and clean with everything we needed. Breakfast was exceptional, some of the best I have ever eaten. The dogs on the yard are very friendly and make you feel safe. Real value for money and I would definitely recommend it.
We spent one night here. There was enough sleeping space for 10 people. We were accommodated at the last minute to add an extra guest at no additional cost. We were able to attend a wedding reception until late and had our own access to the accommodation without needing to disturb the owner. A neat and convenient destination.
Peace and tranquility, surrounded by nature. Thanks a lot.
Babette is very hospitable, beautiful tree-rich garden with many surprises, delicious breakfast, rooms comfortable and clean.
