102 guests' feedbackGreat stopover and peaceful.
It was the perfect place for us to stop over and we had this beautiful old house to ourselves. It was comfortable and clean and we enjoyed sundowners on the wide verandah overlooking a well-kept garden. The hostess prepared a meal for us so we could relax and not have to venture out.
Man, this is a nice place to stay, would definitely recommend it. Here you can rest and explore the town in the summer.
Had the most amazing experience! Rooms were spacious, and staff were so helpful! Will be back next year.
The accommodation was lovely. The house is beautiful - a real gem from yesteryear but with everything we needed for a perfect overnight spot. The host was lovely - helpful, welcoming, accommodating and made sure that we had everything we needed.
Lovely gardens and a beautiful, spacious Victorian house with modern comforts. Exceptionally good value for money, especially as we were upgraded at no extra cost.
Very nice, hospitable!
Had a lovely and comfortable stay on our long journey from Durban to Hermanus. Beautiful old house with very nice garden. Safe and quiet.
Our host made us feel welcome and at home from the start. The house blends history and modern very well with a feeling of old world grandeur, luxury and comfort. It's a place to relax and unwind and not do too much.
Would recommend Lapidaria anytime. Room was spacious and spotless. Will book there again anytime.
Yes, very and very neat.
Yes, lots of parking only.
If you want to go back in time, this house with wooden floors takes you back in time. Host was great and friendly. Food was good and linen white and fresh. Thanks.
Had a wonderful stay in this beautiful old school house with beautifully restored wooden floors and furniture.
Friendly hostess. Beautiful house with nice furniture. Spacious, clean, comfortable room. Will definitely stay there again.
We took breakfast and it was tasty with ample portions. Thank you very much.
Nadine and her staff go the extra mile to ensure one has a fantastic stay. The food is prepared and well presented. The rooms are spotless with everything necessary. I will definitely be back.
Hospitable people, delicious lasagna and comfortable rooms! Best beds.
Beautiful old house with luxury accommodation. Great hostess. Very neat.
Very convenient to be able to order a delicious hot meal on a Sunday evening when Willowmore's eateries are already closed.
Nice place, very beautiful. Old farmhouse with nice floors and hospitable people at reception. Samantha was a darling. good laugh️.
Very nice, neat and clean, and friendly.
Great Karoo visit! Beautiful.
Stunning guesthouse! Clean and tidy spacious rooms. Friendly reception. Beautiful gardens and view. Can definitely recommend Lapidaria! I will definitely stay there again.
Spacious rooms and house. Lovely big bed. Nice place where dogs could play and walk around after a long day on the road.
Good comfortable rooms. All amenities available. Tidy. Characterful and stylish guest house.
We had a wonderful stay in the beautiful feather palace of yesteryear. The furniture testifies to fine taste. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with very good beds (this is always important).
Good reception, food is delicious, excellent breakfast, lovely fireplace in room. Can recommend it to anyone.
Lapidaria is a beautifully furnished Karoo guesthouse. Rooms are spacious, spotless and comfortable. The reception and service was excellent.
Excellent guest house!
Thank you very much for the hospitality and friendly reception. We really enjoyed the tranquility.
Neat, good reception, beautiful historic building. Will definitely come again.
Beautiful clean rooms. Very friendly reception. We didn't book dinner in advance, but Hantie served my son a delicious plate of food very quickly. Would definitely recommend the stay.
Hantie received us generously. We had full access to the kitchen. Beautiful old place that is definitely recommended. Only negative is that the town closes at 5 o'clock. No place to eat then.
Lapidaria offers luxury accommodation in a beautiful Victorian house. Spacious rooms, good beds with firm mattresses contribute to a wonderful stay.
Delicious, clean, beautiful, friendly and more.
Lapidaria is a beautiful guesthouse. We were kindly welcomed and wished we could have stayed longer. It is very conveniently located and we were able to walk through the town. It is close to the restaurants and they also provide meal options, braai facilities etc. Although we only slept over we could have easily stayed there for a few days!
We were kindly received and immediately made to feel at home. Rooms are spacious, comfortably furnished, clean, and nicely decorated. Enough space for our puppy to move after a long drive. Thank you for your hospitality!
Our room and bathroom at Lapidaria were neat, clean and luxurious. The dinner was also delicious!
I would recommend Lapidaria anytime! It's a nice place, clean and tidy. Gift and friendly service. We had a great time! (With load shedding and all).
Had a great sleep, showered and ate at Lapidaria. Very quiet area. Samantha received me kindly and provided a lovely breakfast the next morning. Definitely value for money. It was a "treat" to stay in the room. Would love to stay with you again.
It was just a little strange that there was no one on the premises and I was the only guest.
Very, very neat, very safe, friendly receptionist and very nice, big room.
The facility was exactly what I needed. No frills and yet very comfortable, clean and tidy.
At Lapidaria you can almost play tennis in the rooms, they are so big. Very nicely furnished, the bathroom is huge and beautiful. We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful, charming house. There is also a great billiards room, should you be interested. I can't imagine that there is anything better available in Willowmore. Friendly people and top notch accommodation.
We were kindly received and the lady was very helpful with dinner and drinks.
Beautiful house with more than enough space, the meals were tasty prepared. We will definitely stay at Lapidaria again and also recommend it.
Great stay! Clean and tidy!
Lapidaria Guest House is in an old house with loads of character. The rooms are huge, spotlessly clean and fitted with every modern convenience. It is a short walk to the main road where there are shops and restaurants. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend Lapidaria to anybody spending the night in Willowmore.
We were on route to Johannesburg, and the accommodation was awesome. A lovely wide stoep to sit on and relax. The set up was a bit different to what I have exprienced before, we had to buy our meals and drinks from the Kapoet Cafe in town and then the meals were prepared for us by the Lapidaria staff. All the staff and the shopwowner were exceptionally freindly. The bedrooms were magnificent, the bathrooms perfect, so all in all no complaints.
Beautiful old house with lovely spacious bedrooms with furniture from long ago and beautiful modern bathrooms with large showers. Everything you need for a good night's rest!
Beautiful, historic home. Very nice stay. Just be quiet - we were the only guests.
Very accommodating hosts.
Samantha the lady in charge did a wonderful job settling us in and enquiring if we needed any other requirements. She was very helpful and we had a superb breakfast made by her hand the next morning. Needless to say we had a good stay. Thank you Sam!
Good overnight stop. Peaceful and in a quiet area.
Had a wonderful lighting storm which was beautiful.
Comfortable and spacious. Tidy.
See stars.

I traveled with two small dogs and the management was very helpful in accommodating them. I was also able to store frozen products in their freezer which helped a lot in the heat of the summer. Would definitely recommend them and stay there again.
We had such a good time. The rooms are large, beautifully done and thought out. The air-conditioning was a blessing during an incredibly hot day. Hosts were so helpful and efficient. If ever I need to stay in Willowmore, I would look no further than Lapidaria. So unbelievably worth it!
The house and rooms are beautiful and spacious. We requested dinner in advance and got the most delicious farm food and marshmallow pudding. It was mentioned that we should not leave anything valuable in our car during the evening, as there are burglaries everywhere in town mainly to steal food and valuables. But we didn't feel unsafe at all. We ate breakfast at Kapoet Padstal. It was so good that we ate there again when we returned from our holiday. Kapoet's boerewors is a winner! Rona and Samantha, thank you very much for your hospitality. Hennie, thank you very much for responding to all our questions. We will definitely see you again!
Very clean and pleasant B&B to stay in. Lovely gardens and pub. Bedrooms are enormous with modern bathrooms.
Neat, value for money accommodation and very generous reception.
I enjoyed a very good one night stay in an extremely spacious and well furnished room. The reception was professional and friendly. The house itself looks interesting and so does the old furniture.
See stars.
It was a very good experience and highly recommended as an overnight stay.
Lovely experience at Lapidaria! See you soon.
We enjoyed our stay at Lapidaria. Friendly and welcoming staff. Great breakfast, very comfortable accommodation and everything one would need and more.
Mercy, but Joacobi and Hennie hit the nail on the head here at Lapidaria. They went out of their way to get around our very busy work schedule and help us on every level. It was a relief and a pleasure to turn up at Lapidaria every night for a week. We came in at night between 18:00 and 23:00 and left in the morning between 5:00 and 7:30, no problem for them. Top people, top place, top service. Thank you very much Lapidaria!
The rooms are spacious, neat and comfortable. Friendly welcome and informed about what the town has to offer.
Rooms are clean, neat and spacious. Fantastic large shower. Owners are very friendly and helpful. Good conversation.
Thanks to the staff and owner for their friendly help and support. Very nice meals supplied to us. Our 3 dogs were also very happy to stay there.
The rooms are clean, tidy and spacious. The hospitality is excellent and the silence makes you almost not want to drive.
The space the accommodation offers is an absolute winner for a large family to enjoy. The kindness and hospitality of the host and his wife make a long day's journey worthwhile.
An experience in hot Karoo. Friendly people. Spacious rooms with everything you could want.
We had a wonderful stay. It's just freezing cold and the "aircon" in our room didn't work. There was a warm blanket on our bed. In the other room there were no warm blankets on the beds. There were indeed 2 in the closet, which the guests then put on the beds themselves, but none for the third bed. It is a beautiful house and the interior decoration is also very beautiful. The hostess (Rona) was very cute and made us feel right at home. Breakfast was very nice. All that bothered me was that there is no burglar alarm, and we didn't feel quite as safe in the evening (especially not after hearing that the house had been broken into just the week before). We will stay there again and will also recommend it to other people.
We were warmly welcomed and also well informed about the guest house as well as what was going on in and around Willowmore. We will go back again with other family members.
Thank you. Had fun in my childhood town.
Got serial with some yogurt and long life milk. Milk was sour and more than a year past date on carton.
Maklike, vriendelike plekkie, baie netjies en skoon.
Lovely peaceful tidy place that is tastefully furnished and service and staff friendly and helpful. Great weekend getaway and place to relax.
We had a very nice night there. If you come from Johannesburg and you're always paranoid about safety, and always having trouble sleeping because of the gate that's not locked or the car that hasn't been completely unpacked.
An overnight place with character. The staff is friendly and helpful. We'll stay here again.
Will definitely stay there again.
Staff friendly and extremely helpful. Rooms clean and exquisite decor. Beautiful linens and comfortable beds. First class accommodation!
See the stars.
We really appreciated having both a fan and air-con as it was summer. Also, being able to have supper there the evening we arrived after a long drive was great and then we could eat out in Willowmore on our second evening. Hennie and staff were very helpful and made us feel at home.
Peaceful, neat place for a get-together, very good value for money in the Karoo. Do go visit them.
Beautiful historic house with one lovely guest lady.
I would recommend it to anyone. It was an incredible experience. Friendly service and very tidy.
Very friendly environment with people from the area. The house has been renovated to get that "Old World" feel with modern amenities. I can easily spend a few days there!
Great hospitality. Tasty food. Will be back soon.
Absolutely hospitable and the food was delicious!
It was definitely the best I have ever found in a small town and is actually better than many luxury hotels in big cities.
The guest house was a pleasant surprise and situated in a quiet area with beautiful garden. The en suite room is spacious and clean with attention to detail: clean white towels, tea and coffee facilities and enough pillows. The bedside table lamps are very pretty, but unfortunately not functional for bedtime reading. The owner and staff are very friendly and helpful and allowed me to use the freezer and even brought a small fridge to the room for our exclusive use.
What a lovely cremation in this small town, Willowmore. We started our evening's stay with a delicious meal, a wonderful night's rest And finished with a delicious breakfast.
See the stars.
We just slept over. Rooms are beautiful, clean and comfortable. Breakfast at the paddock was delicious.
Friendly and hospitable staff. Comfortable, very good accommodation. Nice and well prepared dinner and breakfast. Will do Lapidaria again.
Comfortable and clean. Large well furnished room. Adequate meals and helpful hosts.
