139 guests' feedbackWe had a lovely night's rest.
Lovely, clean, tidy and very comfortable.
Very quiet area, conveniently located. Only complaint is that the room was full of flying ants on arrival. Also very beautiful.
Very friendly and accommodating owners. There is a beautiful farm style pool and a well-maintained green lawn, which is not shown in their pictures. I camped with my 2 dogs and felt very welcome. Perfect location for a rest between JHB & CPT.
We had a nice stay. Dinner was tasty.
Easy! A quick overnight stop place. Amenities were 100% and nicely fried.
Very friendly reception, quiet, clean and safe! My dog and I experienced an excellent night's rest for the next day's long drive. Cleanliness of the accommodation was remarkable. We were able to really relax and recharge for our onward journey.
Great place for a peaceful stopover on the way to CPT from JHB, convenient and neat.
It was clean and tidy and a lovely peaceful atmosphere. The people were friendly and helpful. Beautiful rooms. Definitely worth a 2nd visit.
See stars.
No problems, will use again in the future.
Was lovely. Calm atmosphere.
Braaipak was very well priced and very tasty. Was easy and convenient. Would definitely recommend it.
Facilities were only used for overnight stays. Was pleasant and hostess very friendly and helpful. Peaceful, quiet environment. No TV or microwave, but we didn't need it. Had a great stay.
We were kindly received and had a good night's rest before we ventured further down the road.
We had a great stay at Joalani Guesthouse, the children really enjoyed the farm.
It was very peaceful, thank you.
Down duvets are wonderfully warm, but there is no alternative for people with allergies (to down and feathers).
No hot water for showering from arrival to departure, neither in the unit nor in the ablution block.
Very well furnished. Amenities are comfortable and farm atmosphere a plus. No load shedding due to solar power.
She prepared the most delicious dinner for us. The house was very tidy and the beds comfortable. Thank you very much!
Joalani is very well located for a half way stop to the Cape or back. Very neat and clean and facilities are fantastic.
Very neat place, on the farm. Clean and has all the necessary amenities. Animal friendly. Jack Russel enjoyed her holes.
No shedding because solar panel is in place.
Neat, clean and good facilities for a stop over.
Meet all our requirements while we travel.
Great if you enjoy the open space of karoo. Friendly and helpful.
Nice and quiet and cozy. A pleasant stopover on the way to our destination!
See stars.
We have stayed at Joalani's place at least 8 times. The room is comfortable and tidy. Delicious dinner and breakfast and incredible variety of bird life is always a bonus.
Peaceful surroundings and friendly hostess and staff. Very nice dinner.
Highly recommended. Mare and her daughter spoiled us with barbecue sandwiches, chops, sausage, chicken satays and a pasta salad for our barbecue. The room is beautifully clean and there is a common TV room and kitchen. The pub operates on an honesty basis. Take your drink and write it down in the book. Had a great time.
And I will stay again if I go to the Cape again.
Clean and tidy and quiet.
Reception was good. Place was clean. Beautiful location on a farm.
Very peaceful, neat and cute place to stay.
The accommodation is very neat and clean. Friendly reception and all my requests were met. I can highly recommend Joalani.
Made to feel welcome on arrival. Large comfortable room, all very clean. Double bed with electric blankets, excellent matrass. We ordered supper when booking, had delicious three course dinner made with locally sourced meat and vegs. Good breakfast the next morning. Recommend as an excellent overnight stop.
What a joy to find this piece of Eden! Warm, friendly hosts, beautiful views and an icy morning dip in the pool made my stay far too short!
Recommended for overnight stays. Beautiful sunrise if you have to be on the road early. Joalani is a neat place to stay, service is friendly.
Extra dishes such as salad bowl, bowl for barbecue etc. may be considered.
Simple and clean accommodation. Lovely braai packs available. Very friendly hosts and a convenient stopover spot.
I have stayed at Joalani before. It is convenient as an overnight stop from Gauteng to Cape Town, as you then have a slightly shorter trip on the second day.
The Karoo is always enchanting. The silence and the barbecue fire are nourishment for the soul.
The food is fantastic.
A sleepover opportunity on the way to our holiday destination. It was definitely value for money and a great time!
Friendly hostess.
Ideal for stopping halfway between Johannesburg and Cape Town. Next to the N1, peaceful Karoo farm and silence.
Friendly reception, neat and clean accommodation.
Very friendly, genuine Karoo hospitality! Quiet farm atmosphere and right next to the N1. We can definitely recommend Joalani Guest House.
I arranged with the owner for 2 units for 4 adults and 1 toddler - however, they put us all together in 1 self-catering unit, but there were no crockery and cutlery - except mugs and teaspoons - in the unit! How can you have dinner, in a self-catering unit, without knives, forks, and plates?
Far from nearest eatery.
We were a group of 4 adults, 3 children, 3 small dogs, 3 tow vehicles and 3 trailers and stayed overnight in 2 chalets. Joalani was willing to accommodate us. Joalani is located close to the N1, but was far enough that the traffic didn't bother us at all. We found Joalani very comfortable with plenty of room to turn with the vehicles and trailers without having to unhook or struggle forwards and backwards. The chalets were equipped as advertised with beds and mattresses which ensured a pleasant night's rest before another long shift the next day. In midsummer the chalets can get very hot, but the fans in the rooms make it much more bearable. The swimming pool on site is also lovely to cool off in.
There were 2 vegans traveling with us and at their request Mare made them the delicious vegan butternut squash dish, and then at their request also another salad and barbecue sandwiches. Our barbecue packs with real genuine Karoo lamb, barbecue buns, potato AND beetroot salad were unsurpassed! Their barbecue sandwiches are some of the best ever! We really felt at home - great service and hospitality - can recommend them with confidence.
The ants came out late afternoon and we were bitten, so we came into the room. We had anticipated walking for an hour but the ants said “no”!
An oasis in the desert. Everything so beautifully green and well cared for! Mare's Karoo farm food is top notch.
Very cozy! Simple, but comfortable, clean and tidy. Would easily stay there again!
Had a great sleep over with a delicious dinner.

Value for money, customer service, cleanliness, safety.
Great value for money. Friendly staff, and hassle-free check in.
Enough play space for children and the swimming pool in the summer is a hit.
See rating.
Great people who provide neat accommodation that will go the extra mile. We didn't book ahead of time for dinner, but our hostess was kind enough to say she would be able to entertain us. Food was off the books. We would definitely recommend the place.
Very neat and clean. friendly staff.
Clean and tidy with a nice warm bed.
Hosts very friendly. Makes you feel extremely welcome. A definite do over.
Friendly and hospitable welcoming. The accommodation was neat and clean. Braai packs are recommended. Will definitely stay there again.
It would be great if all permanent cottages/rooms could be en suite.
Thank you very much for a friendly welcome, excellent bed and crisp bedding.
We were very pleasantly surprised with the Joalani, If you really want to feel at home from the first step, come visit here. Dinner was fantastic. We will definitely book here again.
The food was top notch.
Very friendly reception. A delicious braai package is provided on request. Amenities neat, attractive and functional. Sink in bathroom small and uncomfortable. We would stay there again anytime.
Clean and tidy, everything needed for an overnight stay, hospitable welcome, delicious dinner with ice cold drinks available, nice and cool pool to cool off, very conveniently close to N1 and good halfway point between Gauteng/Mpumalanga and the Cape. This was our second stay at Joalani and we can recommend it - good value for money.
Beautiful gem in the Karoo.
See stars.
Friendly service and blissful Karoo silence.
Very friendly reception. Great swim after a long drive from Gauteng. Was able to rest well before we hit the road again the next day. Very clean and tidy.
We received a friendly welcome, the facilities are clean, no problems with hot water and there are extra products available if you forgot something. The location is perfect, about 100 meters from the N1! We would stay there again anytime. Fantastic service!
We had a great rest and experienced friendly, hospitable service. We will definitely use the accommodation again.
Friendly reception, nice relaxation by the pool after a long day's driving. Cottages are well equipped and very tidy. Overall it was a very good overnight experience and I will definitely return and recommend it to other people. Thanks for the great service!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very friendly reception and fantastic service throughout. Will definitely stay here again.
Friendly reception by Mare everything neat and clean will definitely go there again.
Thank you very much for the wonderful time we were able to spend the night. What a wonderful place.
Very neat and hospitable. Very cuite place. Highly recommended.
Close to the N1, this Karoo farm is an easy, comfortable overnight stay on a strategic location between the Cape and the North or East of the country.
Thank you for a wonderful overnight stay. Accommodation was clean, neat and comfortable. The reception was very hospitable and friendly.
Mare and Johan made me feel very welcome on the farm. They were very helpful and even carried a braai and wood to my unit for a blissful braai.
Food was exceptional. Hostess was very friendly, welcoming and engaging. Ablutions were neat and clean. I felt very comfortable and will make this guest house my stop of choice when travelling between Pretoria and Cape Town by car.
Everything was clean and neat and conveniently close to the N1. Thank you to the hostess for your friendly reception.
It was a bonus to arrive during the rain and to get a meal of curry lamb and salads. Good value for money.
Pleasant people, sparkling pool, extremely clean and tidy. Quiet accommodation next to the N1 (with almost no noise from the motorway). Will definitely use again.
Baie lekker gerus, geëet en geslaap.
The accommodation was clean and more than what I expected. Lovely area.
Have no complaints. Very pleasant for an overnight stay.
It's a very beautiful place. Owners make you feel very at home, comfortable and clean. The meal in the dining room with the fireplace and children running in and out was cozy and a nice red wine with the lamb pie. We will definitely come again.
The unit was clean and neat. Can maybe provide a place to hang jackets, etc. in the main room. Noise of the trucks on the N1 can bother you. I like the location and nature. Didn't eat so can't comment on it.
Everything was neat. Had a lovely night's sleep on the bed. Breakfast was nice.
Very neat and safe, nicely centrally located and enjoying the tranquility of the Karooplaas with its wonderful hospitality from the owners.
Very neat place to stay with delicious food! Very convenient next to the N1.
Oasis for the weary traveler who seeks something other than a hotel or just a guest house. Try the optional dinner - Karoo-food made by his mother.
I was pleasantly surprised with the service and room.
Like being at your own home and people!
Bathroom was rather far away from the room. The beautiful rising sun in the Karoo was amazing.
Conveniently close to main road.
The service was very prompt. All requests were answered immediately. Braai facilities and braai packages are available on request. Kitchen facilities also very clean and tidy.
Lovely Karoo atmosphere and nice stargazing.
Unit spotless and tidy. Very suitable for a single traveler. Value for money.
Everything one needs after a long day's travel.
The poorly maintained, sparsely furnished and bathroomless room was definitely not worth half of the R500 per night.
We had a friendly reception. They made us feel at home. Beautiful places to braai and very nice social room with built-in bar.
We were received with open arms, room was very neat. For one night's stay we enjoyed it.
We were received very kindly and were very satisfied with our room and the facilities. We ordered dinner from Joalani and had an absolutely delicious meal. Something we would like to bring to their attention is the noises made by the "geyser" or the thorn tree branches on the roof. The wind was blowing quite strongly and the strange noises bothered us all night.
I was really pleasantly surprised. I stayed in the budget room, but had everything I needed. The price was very reasonable. I would even consider putting up my own tent next time. My room didn't have an en-suite bathroom, but the communal bathroom was beautifully neat, even though it was a little walk from the room. I was able to cool down in the swimming pool and I was happy that my dog was also welcome.
Ideal for an overnight stay on the long road. Clean and neat and very friendly reception. Can meet everyone's needs, from single traveler to family and group of people. Will be back.
Room was confenient,, neat, friendly welcoming and safe, peaceful accommodation close to the N1.
Good value for money and very neat.
Where to begin? Arriving at Joalani Guest Farm we were welcomed with a warm smile and the most unforgettable scenery. We stayed in the budget chalet and it suited our needs perfectly! A frigde, fan and doom to make our stay even more convenient. The braai pack is definitely recommendable and great value for money - it includes wood and fire lighters. We had a wonderful night under the stars with wine and meat to die for. Perfect place to stay over if you are travelling on the N1 highway. Dankie tannie vir 'n onvergeetlike lekker ruskans voor die swottings begin. Sien tannie definitief weer!
Very peaceful. Friendly people. The swimming pool was such a blessing during the heat.
We arrived later than expected, but were still warmly received by the owner's helpers. Very convenient rooms. Braai packs were more than enough food and breakfast was delicious. Location is very convenient, directly next to the N1. Would stay there again.
Thanks for the warm room and cozy bed! Perfect overnight accommodation for travellers from Cape Town to Johannesburg. Your facilities are perfect for travellers who had a long day on the road. Will defnitely stay at Joalani again if we need accommodation.
We just stayed overnight on the way to Cape Town. Didn't get to see much of Murraysburg.
It was a lovely, neat little place. Everything was absolutely beautiful and I would definitely recommend it! Mare was very cute, my husband and I would stay there again anytime!
Felt so welcome as Marie and her team provided frying pan and wood and everything we needed to braai. Beautiful sunset wonderful stillness.
Had a lovely stay in a neat and clean bed and room. Peaceful and quiet. Truly restful overnight on the long road. Perfect location next to the N1, yet there is no traffic noise from the highway.
Very clean and neat. Great location for overnight stay. Next to the N1.
Absolutely delightful accommodation. Everything was neat, clean and convenient. Wonderful hospitality.
Friendly reception, comfortable room, clean and neat ablution facilities, nice braai facilities, can recommend as overnight accommodation between Gauteng and Western Cape.
We swopped the budget room for a room with a bathroom (at an additional cost of course). The reason is that the ablution block is way too far from the budget room and that wasn't communicated clearly. The reception was friendly and good.
We arrived late but our host was very friendly. The room was ready and very neat. Only problem was that the kettle's cord could not reach the plug when it stands on the fridge. It is a bit uncomfortable to work on the ground.
Very satisfied. Typical farm atmosphere and well located for an overnight destination.
We arranged with Joalani that we would arrive earlier and it was okay with them, but when we got there the management was not there and they didn't arrange anything with the staff. We waited in the heat for an hour and no one came! Then drove back to Three Sisters for food hoping that when we arrived someone would be there. We then had to wait for an hour. The staff member just put us in a room. No air conditioning. At least the room was tidy. The pool is grass green which is probably the cause of all the mosquitoes. We only rested for two hours and started the road to Bloemfontein with two babies. We paid the full amount but honestly feel we shouldn't have. Would not recommend or use the place again.
It is a great overnight facility, with nice ice cold beer, especially if one is tired from driving. Breakfast was very nice and you saw a chance again for the rest of the road.
Friendly reception, hospitality. Units very neat, comfortable, well equipped, safe. We were able to rest wonderfully. Breakfast was top notch.
The destination is close to the highway and easily accessible. The unit was clean and tidy and the facilities comfortable. I felt welcome, as if I was visiting the farm. Delicious coffee and biscuits awaited me after a long day in the car. They met me at late hours and very kindly called me before dawn, just to follow up if I was rested and enjoyed my stay. Thank you very much Joalani, it was a short visit with warm, hospitable, new friends.
The reception was very warm although there was a misunderstanding on my part, the owner realized it quickly and handled the situation very professionally.
I feel the R160 we paid for two very small dinners is excessive. So is the price of R60 for breakfast. It's way too expensive.
