296 guests' feedbackFrida was very friendly and helpful. Very quiet area, even though it is close to the N12. Clean and tidy. And the animals are also very friendly, but not troublesome. Had a great stay and would recommend it.
Very nice stay. Interesting hostess.
Slept there one night, felt like home and slept well.
Very lovely place, hospitality is top notch.
Frida received us kindly and showed us the room. Everything was neat and clean. Had a great overnight stay after a long day on the road.
Frida was very friendly and helpful, everything was clean and neat. The main room is a combination kitchenette/bedroom (double bed). A great affordable overnight stay for a young family.
It was a comfortable stopover after a long day's travel.
Unfortunately we only stayed one night and will definitely stay there again in the future.
Slept very well. Sho.
Had a great time. The ideal hostess immediately made you feel welcome. The room felt like home. Checked in as strangers and walked out as friends. Will definitely stay there again and also recommend to friends. Nicely close to the N12 which makes it very convenient.
Very nice, thank you. Calm and quiet.
We stayed in a lovely spacious room. Everything was very neat and effort was made to furnish it nicely and cosily. The hostess was very friendly and we had a lovely chat with her. I would love to stay there again.
We had a very nice stay. Short distance from the main road.
Very nice. Room was clean and very tidy. Quiet area. Friendly welcome. Owner was available to receive us late at night.
We had a wonderful time relaxing in the garden under large cool trees after a long drive from Pretoria to Hopetown. Great sleep and ready for the next day's drive to Mossel Bay.
The stay was peaceful, comfortable! The hostess was friendly. It was like an oasis after a long hot road!
We had a great stay! Frida is a very friendly hostess!
Frida was very friendly and the place is clean and tidy, but there are not two bathrooms as in the ad, and the one bedroom is in the kitchen area. One has to walk through this room/kitchen to use the bathroom.
Friendly, fast service. Nice beds. Lovely, beautiful garden with a fantastic view. Spoiled with good coffee. Feel like you're arriving with family.
I was very kindly received and found the garden apartment very comfortable, clean and tidy. Very peaceful environment.
It was a wonderful experience.
Good overnight accommodation along the N12 route between North West and Western Cape.
The hostess is very hospitable, friendly and helpful. The room is spacious with a beautiful view! There is everything you need and it is wonderfully quiet.
The only problem is that there is no street number at the guest house, nor the name board, which means that one has to drive up and down to find the place.
We enjoyed our stay. Had everything for a 1 night stopover.
We were kindly received after arriving late. Place is clean and tidy. Located near main road. The hostess is well organized and friendly.
Thank you very much for your hospitality. Very nice place that has here. Perfect for a family of 4 in the family room. Enough space, very neat and clean. Merry Christmas and good luck for the new year.
Neat, comfortable and clean accommodation.
Yes, was very well received. The guest house uses solar energy. Restful. Just know it's very hot. Be prepared.
The place was spacious and comfortable. She received us so kindly. Had a lovely night's rest. Will definitely stay there again if we drive around.
Frida is lovely. We got a really cool history explanation of Hopetown with our reception. We had a good barbecue and slept very well. She provides Doom for the bugs, dish soap and even mosquito repellent. There is also a first aid kit available. Her pets are friendly. We will definitely stay there again if we are in the area again.
A good stopover, very conveniently located.
It is such a peaceful place, I just spent the night there again on my return trip. Frida is one of a kind. My kind of person and place. I felt safe and at home.
The room was very nice. The yard is safe.
The house is on the edge of town with a lovely view over that part of the Free State.
This is the second time we have visited Frida's Guest House, and it was just as nice as the first time. Wonderful hostess.
Only overnight on the way back from Sutherland to Pretoria. Accommodation is clean and tidy. The solar power makes you forget about load shedding. Thanks, Frida, for the referral to order dinner.
Very nice house and safe environment.
Friendly reception, safe parking, lovely warm bedding on a cold winter's evening!
Many thanks for Aunt Frida's effort. We had a nice stay.
Had a great time in a nice garden apartment on the side of town with nice views. Frieda and Klarina made a special effort to be ready for us. We appreciate you very much.
Friendly hostess. Ideally located.
We got very hot due to load shedding. Frida turned on the sprinklers to cool the air a bit and right there we played through the spray like children for fun. She is a people person, you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
Perfect place for an overnight stop on the way down to the Cape or back to Gauteng. Beautiful garden and wonderfully cool with all the plants. Will stay there again.
Friendly welcome and very pleasant. Beautiful place.
The place is very clean and comfortable. We were greeted by our host in a nice, friendly way and we were made to feel welcome.
A good halfway stopover from Jhb to Cape Town. Frida was very welcoming and her cottage was lovely, clean and very comfortable. Great value for money.
See stars.
We were kindly received. Stayed overnight in the apartment. Everything needed was there. Can recommend the place and would stay there again anytime.
Frida received us warmly. Everything clean and tidy. Big plus is that Frida's has solar power.
We were kindly received, neat accommodation and cute dog.
Everything was very clean and tidy and everything worked. It was like an oasis to sleep there after a long journey. Thank you very much Frida.
Misunderstanding about gate key to come out in the morning. The WiFi password is not available in the room.
Cozy chat with Frida.
The place needed a bit of maintenance (blocked shower drain and one problematic tap) but was still a very pleasant stay-over for our long trip.
The place could just be cleaned better. There were 3 items under the bed from previous guests, including a sponge ball used to apply foundation to the face. But the view is beautiful, our hostess spontaneous and friendly, the mattress excellent and the bed linen nice and clean and fresh.
Had a great stay and the host went to great lengths to make sure everything needed was available. And she also provided a Weber Braai when I let it be known that I would like to braai.
Spacious and well-equipped room with bathroom, large couch and kitchenette. Nice balcony and barbecue area outside. No TV.
Friendly, helpful and sociable.
The place was neat and clean and we slept wonderfully quiet and peaceful. The climbing plant on the porch makes the place look like a gnome's house.
Neat overnight accommodation.
I was specifically looking for something with an air conditioner and Frida advertises that there is one. However, on our arrival we were told that she was not on Eskom and we could not use the air conditioner. It was 16:56 in the afternoon 41 degrees about 10 km before Hopetown.
Booked a unit with a bath and got another one. Other than that, everything was fine and the hostess apologized.
She runs the accommodation on solar power. Since it had been a cloudy day, I was unable to use the fridge or the heating. The wifi is very slow. 2MBS download and 1MBS upload at best speed!
The guesthouse is close to the main route. Service was very good and person was very nice.
Aunt Frida is definitely passionate about her accommodation. Keep us informed of everything happening around Hopetown in advance, so that there is no ambiguity.
The place is very clean and tidy.
Frida contacted us before our arrival to follow up and make sure we were still in order. We were received hospitably and she regularly made sure we had everything we needed.
Location is very accessible and safe. Premises are wooded and cool. Accommodation stylishly and neatly furnished. We had a nice stay. Highly recommended.
Frida's Guest House is well located, away from N12 road noise. Convenient to get to from Strydenburg direction, first turning into Hopetown.
She goes that extra mile for her guests.
Frida's is a delightful oasis halfway between Johannesburg and Cape Town. The guest house is located in a beautiful garden with trees under which we had a nice barbecue. Safe parking, the Karoo silence, and the beautiful sunset were a big bonus.
Very hospitable and friendly reception.
Value for your money.
Close to town. Comfortable beds.
Except for circumstances beyond everyone's control, it was very good. Even the load shedding and cold weather couldn't spoil it. Thank you very much Aunt Frida.
It was not our first time staying at Frida's Guest House, and we were warmly received just like last time. We slept great. It was like home away from home. Thank you Frida, we will stay with you again if Hopetown is our stopover.
We arrived at our destination very late in the evening. Saw beautiful starry sky. Although we were late, we were still very kindly received by the owner. The guest house is on the outskirts of Hopetown, on the very outer street, very close to the N12, but was still able to provide us with safe parking, even though we were towing a large twin axle trawler. Even though our room was located on the top floor of the owner's residence, it was still very private. The house's garden is a loop court in an arid region, the owner truly has green fingers. It is almost unreal to see what she has managed to do with her garden here. We slept here wonderfully, even if it was only for a few hours, we were already on our way at first light the next morning, because the road to Pretoria was still far. Hoping to stay here in Hopetown again in the future.
Frida is very hospitable. She immediately made us feel at home. The garden apartment is well furnished and very comfortable.
Lovely view and warm hospitality.
We had a great time and were soon able to drive through to Orania and Van der Kloof dam. The roads are a bit bad, but you find that everywhere these days. So nice to chat with Frida.
Frida is friendly and helpful.
Very hospitable and friendly service.
Friendly reception, Frida is very helpful.
Aunt Frieda is the nicest person. She warmly welcomed us, showed us our room and gave us fresh milk for coffee. We wanted to change rooms at the last minute and she was so accommodating. The room is so spacious and lovely. Super soft bed with lovely pillows. We had so much fun playing in the beautiful garden. It was the nicest stay. From now on we will book with Auntie Frieda every single time. From the books!
Not suitable for caravans.
Fully equipped room that meets requirements to unwind after a long day on the road.
The guest house is located almost opposite N12 which is very convenient, but the heavy vehicles can be a bit disturbing for light sleepers.
The kitchenette advertised was disappointing with no stove, sink or working surface and only the very basic cutlery. Frida was very kind in helping out with whatever we needed and her friendliness is infectious. The beautiful garden and comfortable bed made up for any thing lacking.
We had bad luck and had to change the reservation 2 times in a hurry and didn't arrive until 22:30 at night.
We were especially impressed with the beautiful ginger cat that came to visit us so nicely. Neat and clean accommodation.
The accommodation was clean and the guest house owner was friendly. The solar also helped a lot with the load shedding. Will definitely stay there again.
Nice stay in beautiful garden.
We found everything we needed. The room was spacious, well worth the price. It was spotless. The only thing I can suggest is a table to prepare food or make coffee / tea on. The host was friendly, warm and welcoming.
Very comfortable room with bathroom. Garden may be overgrown with the many plants and trees. Unit will need to be upgraded later to adapt to similar locations. Shower curtain, modern tiles, window that cannot be closed and without clipping. Very comfortable bed. Unit armored against load shedding.
Very cute place. Rooibos tea and good coffee may also help to make one's stay even more enjoyable. Thanks for the real milk, it makes any overnight stay so much better!
Some of the equipment such as the TV is very old - but we were able to relax wonderfully. The hostess was very pleasant and made us feel welcome.
Neat accommodation with comfortable beds. Did have no water the morning we left and didn't want to bother so early asking for a pump to be turned on, was in a hurry.
Frida immediately made us feel at home, the garden is beautiful and the porch perfect for a cocktail after a long day!
We really enjoyed the stoep room, for the beautiful sunset and later in the evening the stargazing after a nice braai!
The reception at Fridas was very friendly. We felt right at home. The place was very neat and clean. Will definitely visit there again if we are in the area.
Had a very friendly reception and felt welcome. Good quality bed and felt rested again.
Very peaceful place in the Karoo, lovely garden and the most beautiful white dog that is child-friendly. I will come again.
Aunt Frida was so kind and went out of her way to accommodate us.
Aunt Frida is welcoming and very nice. Will definitely stay there again.
Only stayed there overnight and no complaints.
Will definitely stay there again when travelling between Kathu and Mossel Bay.
Location convenient. Clean and very friendly service.
The guest house has a very convenient location close to the N12. Despite the proximity of the N12, it is located in a quiet area. The setup lived up to expectations.
Tannie Frida's guest house is thoroughly worthwhile. She is friendly and hospitable. I would recommend it to anyone.
We really enjoyed the overnight stay and would be happy to recommend Frida's Guest House.
The bed was comfortable. The view from the balcony room was lovely. There was a fan to help with the very hot weather in Hopetown. The host was helpful and friendly, a great host.
Reception was brilliant. Hostess friendly and helpful. Would recommend anytime.
Frida se plek laat my aan die woorde uit Simple Gifts dink: "'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free, 'tis the gift to come down where we ought to be, and when we find ourselves in the place just right, 'twill be in the valley of love and delight"
Our stay at Frida's was everything we asked for and needed for our overnight stay on our road trip up the N12. From start to finish this was a good experience. We had a warm welcome to a stunning green, leafy, cool garden with views onto the veldt opposite and a beautiful Northern Cape sunset. The room was homely yet private and had all the necessities. The added personal touch of fresh milk in the fridge and pure ground coffee and a coffee machine were much appreciated. The bed was good and firm and afforded an excellent night's sleep. Thank you!
Good all round. We could take a day to visit Mokala National Park which was our objective, but was fully booked when we tried.
Friendly service and reception. Neat and comfortable.
Very friendly reception. Comfortable unit and a very nice bed.
Tannie Frida is a chatty and friendly lady. Her home is comfortable and the room was large with the most amazing balcony and braai area.
The accommodation was very safe and the unit had all we needed. We visited the Old Bridge which was worth a visit although not sign posted. The beds were very comfortable and warm. Thanks Frida!
Second time we spend the night there.
Close to the main road, but not next to it.
Frida received us kindly. Unit was clean and tidy. Everything you need for an overnight stay is available in the unit.
Friendly welcome. Great overnight stay. Comfortable stay.
Very nice stay and the area is very safe. Just very dark.
Frida is a particularly good hostess and she has a beautiful place that is definitely value for money. With the power cuts due to thunderstorm, she had generators for standby as well as solar power for through the night. No inconvenience was endured.
Beautiful scenery due to the location.
Would highly recommend. It was half way for me on my way home.
Relaxing and just nice to be able to sleep there.
Clean and tidy. Perfect as an overnight stay.
I ask for availability, the answer is no and 5 minutes later yes. When I got to the guest house, Frida didn't know about me. Wanted to know what platform I booked on. Don't know which room I booked, I could choose then. No leaflet with directions to any places to eat or even a rough sketch of the town with the main points.
Thank you very much for a safe night's rest.
Very nice stay on the way to the sea. Everything nice.
Frida was lovely, with great service and a wonderful stay.
Some small things that bothered. Frieda made an effort with requests we had.
Friendly reception. Nice and private. Feel safe behind gate. Nice garden with good braai facilities. We were three families, two of which each have two small children. Everyone felt very much at home.
Frida is a good hostess who makes her guests feel welcome. The unit was efficient and had great coffee!!! We will definitely stay there again. Thank you very much.
Fantastic and beautiful unit. Wonderful hostess. Beautiful view and garden. Delicious fried. I will definitely stay here again. Value for money.
There was enough hot water for everyone and the beds were comfortable and clean. The rooms are homely and you feel at home. We were immediately received at the gate and didn't have to wait at all even though we didn't arrive until 22h00.
Frida the hostess was very hospitable and received us warmly. Room was very neat with lots of space and a stunning view.
However, eating places in the town have been severely affected by Covid-19 so there is only one restaurant that currently offers sit-down meals - Die Stalle. Food was of good quality - value for money.
Frida's is a wonderful place of rest on a long journey with Frida being a jovial hostess. The place is neat and clean. There is a restaurant in town for dinner, but keep in mind that the OK supermarket closes at 17:30. Recommended.
Frida is friendly and helpful, lovely surroundings for walking, lovely shower and bed, garden chairs to watch the sunset and hear birds in the big trees.
Aunt Frida is very friendly. Welcomed me at night and opened the security gate early in the morning so that I could continue the journey. She is very helpful and made sure I had everything I would need for the night. She also contacted me on the way to find out where I am and if everything is still allright. I will definitely stay there again if I go in that direction.
Neat and perfect for overnight.
Frida is very hospitable. She immediately makes you feel welcome. We got everything we needed. Definitely a winner!
After a long journey ideal for an overnight stay. On the balcony you can grill some meat while drinking your beer. The parking is safe, in the shade of old big trees with a nice garden that creates a peaceful atmosphere. Bring a tip.
Had a nice stay.
The units are family structured, so rooms are interleading in the unit we used. We would not be able to use this for business travel if mixed colleagues, but really comfortable, friendly and welcoming for private individual or family travel.
Place was clean, air conditioning was very welcome. Garden and outdoor area were very well looked after. Was just a really nice sleepover destination. And host was very friendly and helpful.
The environment is quiet and peaceful with a beautiful garden. Our room was spacious and comfortable.
Frida is a very friendly, pleasant African lady who welcomes you generously. Her house is located on the edge of Hopetown, and easily accessible. The interior is tasteful, and very neat. Everything, such as the air conditioning, boiler etc. work well Beautiful view over the plains and the sunset or a refreshing thunderstorm!
Comfortable stay. Enjoyed the birdlife and the cats.
Frida immediately arranged everything to suit us. Everything was very neat. Very good. Frida's location is very convenient and on the road. Nice view.
Beautiful room with everything one would need. Clean, comfortable and cosy. We had a good night's rest.
Easy access from the main road in a lovely suburban setting. Gorgeous garden and Frida is welcoming and informative and accessible. Rooms are not only comfortable but the host has ensured that they're equipped with every amenity. Lots of shady nooks in the lovely garden to unwind after your journey. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Friendly reception, place was very neat and clean. Only coffee percolator was not clean, old used moldy coffee was still in filter but otherwise no complaints. Will stay there again.
Although DSTV was advertised, it did not work. We understand that the lockdown has caused a lot of disruption. Would have appreciated an advance warning though. We visited another guest house for dinner as Frida's does not offer meals. Overall, our stay was good.
Cleanliness could improve. There was no mosquito or fly repellent and no stove either, although there were pots and pans.
Wash in sunroom. Is a fairly dark room with cots in front of window so uncomfortable to open curtains. Was very clean and tidy. Will stay there again.
Unfortunately the room was very stuffy and we couldn't use the air conditioner because it blew directly onto our faces. The room was also very cluttered with pieces of memorabilia. I would stay there again if the price was a bit lower.
Wasn't nice. Had to sit outside in the dark for 1 and a half hours due to load shedding because there was no way to let her know we were at the gate. They probably never clean under the beds, because dust lies 2cm thick under the bed. Could rest, but definitely never again.
Very comfortable and affordable overnight accommodation. Very friendly service. Will use Frida's Guesthouse again.
Frida received us earlier than the norm and immediately made us feel at home. She met our needs and made sure we were comfortable. The room has DStv, WiFi, air conditioning, fresh milk and enough ice in the freezer and an outdoor braai that we will definitely use next time.
Lovely stay. Highly recommended. Spacious and pleasant.
The room with the balcony was neat and just what one needs after a long journey. The hostess was considerate and made us feel at home.
Thank you to Frida for her warm welcome. Even though there was loadshedding. Thanks Frida, if I pass Hopetown again one day, I know where my overnight stop will be.
Frida is a charming person and goes out of her way to make you welcome and ensure that your stay is a wonderful one.
Was very nice. We were upgraded to two rooms for the same price as the one room. Appreciated it very much. Real coffee machine with filter coffee in the kitchen, milk and ice cubes are freezer for my wine. Unfortunately got there late so couldn't see and enjoy the beautiful garden and drove early again. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to friends. Thank you very much, Frida!
We had a very nice stay. Lovely view.
Very friendly welcome. Neat place and ideal for an overnight stay. Thank you.
Will definitely use the guest house again. Our hostess made us feel welcome and every guest is special.
The cottage is more suitable for a family to travel together than for friends. The bathroom is off the master bedroom. The unit was beautifully clean and the hostess very friendly and helpful.
Very neat rooms and a friendly owner who really made us feel at home! Thank you very much, Frieda.
We were surprised by an eagle sitting on a pole. My camera just clicked. Frida waited patiently at the gate. We were warmly welcomed with a delicious dinner and coffee and a wonderful view from the balcony. Garden neat and nice to relax with birds singing away the afternoon. We drove to the Old Bridge about 8 km from the guesthouse. Thank you Frida, for a wonderful stay.
Hospitable reception with cookies and milk in the fridge. It's safe, clean and neat. Lovely garden and beautiful views. We highly recommend the guesthouse as a good stopover on the way to the Cape.
Will sleep there again, we enjoyed it.
Once our stay was confirmed, we were constantly called to hear how our trip was progressing and always kept informed. Frieda also looked after us very well. Room was well equipped and the lady was an absolute star. Thank you very much for the nice evening there. Will definitely use it again if I go there.
Upon our arrival, Frida was there to receive us. Was very friendly. Will definitely stay there again on our next visit to the Cape.
I would highly recommend Frida's Guest House. This is a very neat place and the owner is a lovely person.
Perfectly located. Frida's reception with an open heart and friendliness makes you feel at home immediately. The unit was neat and well equipped.
We had a friendly welcoming and it was a great overnight stay!
Frida welcomed us most warmly after our long journey. The self-catering flat was cosy and had everything we needed for a night’s stay. The view at sunset across the valley enhanced our evening braai. We would stop here again.
Very well located and very friendly hostess.
We arrived with a sun bag and the autumn colors that ranged from yellow to red made our friendly welcome even warmer. We got two rooms that share a bathroom and the self-catering, the coffee, tea with delicious baked goods made our stay an unforgettable experience after Frida, with her bubbly nature, took us through the house. It was great and pleasant, also very beautiful. Thank you very much Frida, you are a wonderful hostess. I recommend Frida's Gastehuis anytime.
Thank you very much, Frida, for the warm welcome, excellent service, affordable accommodation, homely and tidy facilities and warm hospitality. The beautiful view from the balcony over the field to the hill on your farm is very special and highly recommended.
The way in which we were welcomed will certainly be lasting. Hospitable, warm and heartfelt.
Clean rooms, hospitable people. Close to the village.
We were received so warmly by our hostess and the balcony room was just what we needed after a long day on the road. The view was amazing and the room met everything to make a great night's rest possible.
Neat accommodation and heartfelt hostess who makes you feel at home.
Would recommend Frida's to anyone. Aunt Frida is very hospitable and has a good time as if she has known you for years.
See stars.
Used Frida's Gastehuis as an overnight stop and I see it as value for money. Tranquil set-up and could braai while I looked at the Karoo veld.
Frida made us feel very at home. We rested well. Her garden was beautiful and green. It was a pleasant experience.
Frida is a great host and the accommodation offered is outstanding - clean and a great location. Strongly recommended.
Very nice stay in a tree-lined, green guest house. Was very peaceful and quiet. Will book here again.
Frieda is a warm hostess who welcomed us kindly! The stoep room is very comfortable and comfortably furnished. There is a lovely lounge area with a very comfortable corner sofa and a lovely veranda with a beautiful view. We could sleep with an open door and enjoy the Karoo sky with all the stars. Very safe accommodation with a loop court of a garden! Thanks again Frieda for all your concern after all our exploits with the fire at Pringle Bay!
Clean, comfortable accommodation.
We enjoyed it so much. Our host was also friendly and helpful.
Our room was very artistic, neat and well equipped. Thank you very much for your hospitality Frida! We will definitely stay there again if we pass through Hopetown.
A green oasis in a dry world. Frida offers a generous welcome, and the space in the guest house is spacious. It's totally private and gives you a chance to completely relax after a day's driving. There was everything that was needed.
Affordable comfortable clean overnight accommodation, will stay there again in the future.
Safe, comfortable, tidy - everything we needed. Food in Hopetown is a crisis, so it's better to arrange a barbecue with Frida.
Very homely feeling and was made to feel very welcome by Frida herself.
The hospitality upon our arrival was very nice, she went out of her way to accommodate us late at night. Will definitely use Frida's Guest House again in the future.
The room did not have water taps in the kitchen area and we had to bring water in a dish. The shower leaves a lot to be desired. The place can be spruced up.
Can definitely recommend Frida's. Thanks for the wood and barbecue lighters Frida - no trouble too much for you.
It was peaceful, had a nice stay and slept well.
Frida's Gastehuis was our overnight stop. Place was very neat and met all our needs as a family with two little ones. Lawn is big so the kids could run around and the swing was a bonus.
Friendly people, very peaceful environment.
Friendly, clean and comfortable. Value for money.
The accommodation was very neat and clean, well equipped and we were very welcomed.
Frieda was very friendly and helpful. The place is clean and tidy with a garden that ensures tranquility after a long day on the road.
Frida welcomed us kindly and we had a nice stay. She made so much extra effort to accommodate us. The balcony was fantastic. As photographers, we really enjoyed seeing all the bright stars of the Karoo!
Definitely one of the better places to stay in Hopetown. Quiet and nice view.
We shared the apartment we were in with friends. The layout of the apartment and the one bathroom was a bit challenging.
Very nice overnight spot on the way to the West Coast.
Beautiful guesthouse fully equipped with everything we needed. Frieda received us and made us feel welcome, satisfied with the stay and will certainly stay there again.
Frida called us before we arrived in Hopetown and pointed us in the direction. She received us graciously and took us to one of the best guest rooms we have found in our many travels. Nice firm double bed. Full living room with TV. Nice balcony with beautiful view. Frida recommended us a good route home and came to see us off early in the morning. We highly recommend Frida's Guest House!
We had a pleasant stay at Frida's Guest House. All amenities were there, spacious rooms, neat, quiet, beautiful surroundings, and Frida's hospitality will be remembered for a long time. We can highly recommend Frida's Guest House.
It was lovely and clean. Frida was a very accommodating and friendly host.
Spacious unit, clean and tidy. Frida makes an effort to make you feel at home and meet your needs. Very centrally located and an ideal overnight stay to shorten your trip. Sunset is very charming even though it is also dry in the region.
Quiet environment, reception hospitable and very tidy.
Frida was very friendly and helpful after a very long day on the road. We felt very welcome and slept well. Our girl played the cat fool.
Personal, friendly service.
Comfortable, spacious and clean.
Friendly reception and good rest.
Well located. Quiet atmosphere, value for money.
Everything and extras were in place, what a nice stay.
She accommodated me in all respects and possible changes.
Delicious and high quality overnight accommodation. Thank you very much!
Frida is an excellent hostess and her place is immaculate.
Had a great stay.
‘n Mens word baie vriendelik en hartlik ontvang.
We were very kindly welcomed by aunt Frida and immediately made to feel at home by her hospitality. She has good knowledge of the area as well as the attractions. We will definitely want to visit there again!
Neat rooms, peaceful surroundings, outstanding hospitality and a real loop court, especially in the summer.
Clean.
Frida is a friendly, accommodating hostess.
My wife and I were very well received and Frida was very helpful in all respects, it would also mean a lot if there was a restaurant available on the premises, as this was the only problem after a long journey of 600 kilometers and in had to eat at a very poor restaurant.
Very good and we will recommend the guest house.
Very warmly welcomed by Frida, and a wonderful stay despite the severe Karoo heat. Just missed towels - not sure if that was excluded?
In addition to all the positive things already mentioned, the view from the balcony is excellent and what a pleasant surprise to hear the birds around sunset.
We had been on a road trip around South Africa and this was our last stop on our way back to Cape Town. However this was the first stop where a real down duvet was provided with a real Mohair blanket. Most welcome on a freezing winters night.
Enjoyed it a lot. Good value for money.
Very hospitable and ate delicious carrot cake. Thank you Frida!
We toured everywhere we stayed on a self-catering basis. This destination didn't quite live up to that. The place was very tidy and we were given the use of the kitchen. The view from the bedroom balcony was breathtaking over the plains.
We were received very kindly and the room was very large and very well equipped with everything needed.
We spent one night in Hopetown and Frida's Guesthouse certainly did not disappoint. The view from the balcony was amazing! Thanks for all your effort Frida!
Everything you need. Quiet and tranquil environment. Secure parking.
Everything was well organized and we were very well received. Was only disappointed because breakfast was not included then. Frieda informed us that she has not done this for more than 2 years. Stay was still nice thank you.
The smaller room is fine for a family with 2 children (the second room has its own TV which the children enjoyed). The other room is more spacious with a nice couch and open plan with a double bunk bed - my children preferred their own TV. Parking off the street and the Karoo view is beautiful. Frieda is really friendly and nice to talk to.
Was a lovely, cool, well appointed room with wonderful hospitality.
Frida saw to our every need. She is an amazing host and a wonderful, friendly person. Would definitely stay here again.
We spent the night here - aunt Frida is very pleasant and hospitable, makes you feel welcome and at home right away. We stayed in the Balcony Room, very nice, private and comfortable, with a beautiful balcony and barbecue where you can experience the beautiful sunset. Really a nice and beautiful place to experience - and see a part of the small town that I think so many people overlook.
The garden is a real loop court, the rooms clean, tidy, "warm" with everything one needs. Great to kick off shoes after a long day.
Frida's Gastehuis was a most pleasant surprise for us after a long's days travelling through the hot and dusty Karoo. Not only was it an oasis in that part of the country, but it was also Frida's home, a very special place that she designed herself and shared for many years with her late husband. Everything inside and out had charm, character and history and all of it reflected the love and warmth of its owner. The garden was full of trees, green lawns and beautiful roses and the view (from the large balcony of the equally spacious upstairs room that she gave us) was truly amazing. We arrived as strangers and left as friends. It is our sincere hope that travellers will continue to give Frida's Gastehuis the support that it deserves. We certainly will whenever we pass that way again.
Little piece of paradise and friendly service.
Thank you very much for the hospitality. Recommend your place to any traveler.
Lovely welcome, will definitely visit again.
Very neat. Hospitability great. Will go back next time.
The room was beautifully appointed and very comfy. We had a great stay. The owner was very friendly and went out of her way to make us feel at home.
Cozy place and a welcome break for our long journey.
The room was very neat and fresh and it is nice and close to the main road and accessible so that one does not have to search unnecessarily and possibly get lost and moreover lose time.
Frida did a lot to make us feel at home and the hospitality was awesome, we definitely recommend her to anyone travelling past Hopetown, give her a call. We will definitely book the place again.
It was just like the pictures. We slept very well there.
The guest house offers a calm, peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The rooms are clean, tidy and very comfortable. Reception was cordial and warm. Secure parking.
Hopetown was our last stop after a long holiday through the Eastern Cape and Western Cape. Friendly reception, beautiful garden, just a pity we were so tired that we couldn't appreciate the garden a little more. At least took a picture before we drove. Thank you Frida, it was nice to meet you.
Very friendly reception and will definitely recommend.
We had a wonderful stay at Frida's place. The rooms were as advertised: clean and tidy. Frida was very helpful and friendly. We also sat delightfully in the garden with a very beautiful Karoo view and sunset. Will definitely stay there again.
Had a nice sleep over. Pretty.
The town is struggling with power and water. This creates a negative experience of the stay.
Very friendly and helpful. Dogs cannot run around outside - the fencing is inadequate. Frida is an incredible hostess - you won't find nicer. Great air conditioning inside, even if the housing is somewhat on the old side. Wonderful garden with lovely large trees offers relaxation in the middle of the Karoo.
To sleep over in a small Karoodorp on the way to Cape Town, the guest house is definitely worth it. Would recommend the guest house.
A homely environment with great hospitality by Frieda, the host. Very neat and clean and accommodating towards ones needs. Also very informative of places to go and see. Enjoyed our stay and made a friend.
We were private and could still barbecue etc. Place neat. Small bit of work on bathroom, but otherwise no problem.
We had a wonderful stay in the one night we stayed over. Frieda is a very good hostess and you feel right at home within 5 minutes. We had a great barbecue in the beautiful garden on a Weber that she lent us. All that guests need to be prepared for is that they do stay inside the house - separate facilities and privacy. We were not bothered at all.
It met our requirements.
Comfortable accommodation with a spacious and well-equipped room. Beautiful view to the south with a lovely porch.
See the stars.
A good stay, only problem was we had to switch units, as the outside unit had no shower, and only a bath, while the house had a shower.
We had a lovely stay in this very homely guest house. Frida is very friendly and has a beautiful garden.
Friendly, professional and warm.
Beautiful gardens and friendly host. Can be recommended.
See the stars below.
Our room was comfortable, clean and tastefully decorated. The balcony was lovely, nice and private and had a very nice view. We enjoyed it there and can recommend it. However, the TV's reception was not good and no DStv available.
Lovely place to sleep on the side of town. Can highly recommend it.
Pleasant hostess! Cute place! Clean and tidy!
We were kindly received. The town had a water crisis, but Frieda provided and we did have water. Overall: a nice place to stay overnight.
