50 guests' feedbackReception was great. Had a great sleep. Would recommend the place to anyone.
A tranquil stay in a beautiful location. The attention to detail is phenomenal. Interesting decor, funky furnishings, and delicious food, Kliphuijs proved to be a well-needed oasis.
Kliphuijs' decor and furnishings took my breath away.
Beautiful and comfortable accommodation. Food was delicious! So much effort has been put into the Kliphuijs. Great halfway stop when travelling from Cape Town to Joburg. Would definitely return.
Was fantastic. They need to tell guests that they do not have a liquor licence so we could buy wine before dinner.
We were very impressed with the place. Nashville received us and made us feel very welcome. The room itself was very neat and heated. The dinner was top class and the dining room was lovely and cozy. We will stay there again.
Great experience. Thank you.
Had a wonderful stay. Unfortunately not enough hot water.
Lovely accommodation with very helpful staff. Communication prior to the stay was good. Looks like what you see on the website.
Lovely clean tidy accommodation. Thank you very much.
Lovely stay, the host was an asset, food was tasty.
Beautiful place, Nashville and Rika are 2 gems, made us feel so welcome, warm and hospitable. The veranda was wonderfully cool on a sweltering hot day, it was lovely to sit there and visit - didn't even miss a TV at all. Noise in the street was a little bothersome, but it is not Kliphuijs' fault. Hot water was a bit short for 3 adults, maybe also consider a shelf/cabinet in the bathroom to put toiletries on. Dinner and breakfast were very tasty and well presented, definitely a place I will make an institution for a trip to the Cape. I wholeheartedly recommend Kliphuijs.
We were welcomed in bitterly cold weather and were made to feel very welcome. The food was fantastic. The service was fantastic. The place is clean and tidy. No request was too much. Can there just be big please a television being installed?
A clean and comfortable stopover. Unusually furnished with beautiful antique furniture. The car was safely kept behind a large gate, away from the hordes of beggars in the town. The host was friendly and helpful. We did not eat at the restaurant, which looked expensive. Guests would probably prefer light meals which, like the rest of the place, offer really good value for money. Not knowing there was a restaurant, we brought our own food, which we enjoyed with the tea/coffee provided.
The decor is stunning. Was very cold but they have an electric blanket and aircon which makes it very comfortable. Did miss a small hanging cabinet. Will stay there again for sure.
As always it was fun!
Very nice as always.
As always, the perfect stopover on the way to the Cape!
We had a very nice stay. The hostess was very accommodating with us booking at short notice and also only arriving after 9pm. Security was helpful in unloading our luggage. Beautiful decor. Sorry we stayed so short.
Best food and atmosphere. Very nicely furnished.
Our first overnight stay with our 'road trip'. A delightful surprise after 8 hours on the road. Beautiful people who made us feel at home. Nice food by the fireplace and a beautiful room.
Wonderful stay. The place is beautiful and comfortable. Our dogs were also welcomed. Food was excellent and hospitality top notch!
The Kliphuijs is an oasis in the heart of the Karoo. Feel free to have dinner and breakfast here. It's really beautiful.
The Kliphuis was a great stopover on our way to Cape Town from Johannesburg. The rooms were clean and beautifully furnished, and dinner was delicious - home-cooked. The room is right on the road that goes through Richmond and there was some noise from cars and people walking past. Due to loadshedding it became very hot in the room as we could not run the aircon and had to open the windows. Would highly recommend the venue and our host - Louis who was very efficient and attentive.
Thank you very much, we had a great stay. Would recommend the Kliphuijs.
Absolutely and really enjoyed it!
Nice and tasteful place. There is a need for a shelf for toiletries in the bathroom.
Great overnight destination on the way to the Cape.
The stay at Kliphuijs was pleasant. Unfortunately it is located on a noisy corner of town. The room, linen etc. was excellent. It's a shame that only one dish is offered for dinner - some people prefer something light in the evening. Due to load shedding the shower was lukewarm in the evening - perhaps an extra cylinder should be installed. It would also help if each room had a hot water bottle in which the guests could get boiling water for tea or coffee during load shedding.
An awesome stayover en route to Gauteng! The accommodation was novel and well equipped, premises neat and shower warm. The outstanding aspect was the exceptional personal care and service rendered by Louis. Can recommend the stay, an absolute Karoo gem!
The guesthouse is a stone's throw from the N1 in the small town of Richmond. It's an ideal stopover for a trip down to the Western Cape for people travelling from Gauteng. We had dinner that was served at the guesthouse, and it was a little bit disappointing. At that price per person I would have expected a bit more.
Loved the stay and the food, but thought the food was a bit pricey for what we got. Unfortunately, the town was very much alive on a Sunday evening and the windows were not very soundproof to the street. A great location to break up a long road trip.
On arrival the places visually impressed, very neat. Unfortunately, the minimum I expect is a comfortable bed and hot water in the morning, neither of which was available. The mattress was extremely uncomfortable and not standard length either. It will work in length for those shorter than 1.6 / 1.65 meters. There was no hot water in the morning to shower with, and loadshedding is an excuse. I think it helps a lot as a business to spend money on Nespresso machines (which also can't work during loadshedding) and expensive hand soaps if you can't make sure your guests have hot water. Finally, it was also extremely noisy outside my daughters window which was on the street side, there were people hanging out / partying in the street very late.
The noise of trucks and cars in the street in front of the place is disturbing. Otherwise good for overnight.
We booked the family room for an overnight stay. We were pleasantly surprised. The Kliphuijs is beautiful, neat and the service we received was excellent. Definitely worth the money. We can definitely recommend this guest house to anyone. Their food was also top notch. Thank you very much for allowing us to spend the night here.
Kliphuijs is a great place for a stop-over during a roadtrip. The beds were comfortable, the staff was friendly, and the outdoor space was beautiful Perfect for stargazing!
Serene and peaceful stop for a long drive. Just gorgeous!
Lovely place. Clean. Beautiful, amazing.
Warmly received. The hostess made sure we were 100% happy. The linen and decor are five star. The Seisoen Karoo next door is certainly a great asset for Richmond. The meal like this on this beautiful stoep was a 'keep away memory'. Will definitely stay here again! Strong recommendation to all travelers.
We were warmly received, the room was very comfortably furnished. Nice decor ideas. Dinner was provided and we were contacted in advance to inform us of the menu.
Great choice and very comfortable.
We had a very nice stay. Most beautiful rooms and an incredibly nice veranda for reading in the Karoo breeze. We will definitely be back.
Wonderful little gem. Safe, clean and the food was delicious. Fact that you can take your pets and have a braai is great. The garden is very pretty. The room on the road is unfortunately exposed to noisy traffic when people race past, instead of keeping to the speed limit. I think a speed bump in front of the house is a good idea.
I wish we could stay longer! The stone house was a beautiful place to sleep, very close to the main road. Very comfortable rooms and excellent service.
Couldn't have asked for anything more. Everything is in excellent condition. The (optional) dinner was delicious, but slightly on the expensive side. The only problem (and this applies to most accommodation in Richmond) is that part of our room faced the street. Every person and car that passed sounded like it was right in the room. Fortunately, it was only for a short time. Other than that it was a lovely experience!
See stars.
Nice comfortable place, good conversation and connected as a family.
Very nice and tidy place, is also safe. We were kindly received.
Hot water with good pressure. Beds - clean and comfy. Sufficient for overnighting.
The first impressions are pleasant and the Kliphuijs has a lot of potential. It is the finer details that are missing and the first impressions are sometimes very superficial. The shower floor was very sloping and dangerously slippery, and the finish of the bathrooms not of a high standard. The lack of water with loadshedding is a problem and the constant noise inside the room quite annoying (sounds like a pressure pump). And an unpleasant surprise to have to pay extra for instant coffee with breakfast.
