136 guests' feedbackYes, a friendly welcome, just felt at home.
We had a great stay, host was very helpful and nice.
It's a neat, clean place by the shops. You don't need to use your car at all. Just walk around and then have a good rest.
Wonderful, clean, tidy place to stay. So clean and fireplace is a bonus! Will definitely go again.
It was very nice and cold.
Everything was perfect!
Thank you very much for everything.
Deliciously warm and cuddly.
The unit is old, but clean and tidy with nice bedding and a much needed fireplace.
Very nice stay. Will definitely visit again.
Was delicious. Clean friendly service. Shower would be better than bath.
Could there possibly be a shower instead of bath. To save water.
For my father's 65th birthday, we couldn't have had a nicer weekend.
Too short a great place to stay.
When we arrived at reception we had to call a number. The person only gave our room number and said the key was in the door, no personal contact and/or service.
Ideal for what I required.
It was good. Just wish there was a fan and WiFi.
Cosy and comfortable.
Double bed mattresses must please be replaced with firmer mattresses; slept very uncomfortably. Outside wooden chairs yearn for oil and care. Small soap and toilet spray would be nice. One bedside light did not work and window handle was broken. But otherwise not bad for the price. Affordable and clean.
It was okay but not great. Room smelt of old smoke and only had a bath, no shower.
Nice! Thank you so much!
On arrival, no one was available, the owner informed by phone which room was open, and everything was left untidy, dirty cups next to the bed, wet towels in the bathroom. Another room was given, the owner had to come and see what was going on in the unit, but the unpleasantness makes you feel you don't want to stay there. Parking lot for vehicles very uneven with high slopes to pull a low vehicle up for parking. No fridge or microwave available, unit not tidy. Location is good, and rooms are spacious with a lovely fireplace for the cold. Thank you for the agents good customer service and help and assistance in this regard for the evening away which almost turned into a nightmare. You are iron.
The place is very comfortable, clean and tidy. We sleep very well there every time!
We were a group of ladies who stayed there and felt very safe. Our van was supervised, the rooms were neat and clean, there was coffee and a kettle and for our purposes the accommodation was perfect. Had a great time there and will definitely go again.
Will definitely be visiting again, Wi-Fi would've been a bonus, but even without it, will be recommending it to others.
It was very nice. We were treated very kindly and everything was clean and tidy and safe.
Clean, satisfactory overnight stay.
It was only a stopover for us after a visit. Would like to choose between a bath and a shower. Room was nice and spacious.
Nice place to sleep and the location is excellent.
Ideal for someone just looking for affordable overnight accommodation. The bed was comfortable and the heaters and fireplace in the room helped a lot against the freezing cold. No TV in room, but that didn't bother us. Vehicles do park in the street, but there is a guard watching them throughout the night. Will definitely stay here again if needed.
Got there late and was welcomed by security. The place is perfect to be able to visit all places and nice and quiet to come back to.
Very clean, tidy and we got an interesting history tour from the owner.
The rooms are comfortable for 1 or 2 nights. There are many restaurants and attractions around Old Transvaal Inn. It was quiet and peaceful during the time we spent the night there.
Would really appreciate a small fridge.
Will book again. Definitely value for money.
We slept in unit no 1 and the bathroom only has a small bath. Can be uncomfortable for a larger person.
The unit is spacious and clean but the bathroom definitely needs work to bring it up to standard.
Location was good, close to everything, but it's more of a place if you just want to sleep or drive quickly through town and you're looking for a cheap place to sleep. Rooms were not serviced, no soap in room except hand wash soap. Towels not matched as befits a guest house. Had one green, one brown and one orange towel. They were a little shy with coffee and sugar. Our room had been one of the "upmarket" rooms. Bed and bedding were good and bed slept well. The geyser was a small geyser that only allows 1 person to bathe, after which you just have to wait for the geyser to heat up again for the 2nd person. The soap dish on the wall by the bath hung on mercy. Dullstroom is a cold place, especially in winter, so one would like more carpets because those floors can be bitterly cold. Had half a bag of wood for the fireplace and 1 firelighter which means you can only use the fireplace on the first night. After that you just have to go looking for fire lighters and wood for the second night. Curtains could also be a bit better quality, room becomes very light when the sun rises, so late sleep is out. Most restaurants and pubs close early, so having a TV in the room would have been a plus. At least one would have expected a TV, especially at the price. At least we also had a half-burnt candle that only lasted 1 night with loadshedding and had to go buy candles. It is really a low cost accommodation with only the most basic accessories. Parking had been on the side road, but at least there was security who could watch the cars.
It's walking distance from everything.
Place was nice, tidy, could check in ahead of time.
We were told that there was private parking for vehicle and trailer which was not the case at the time.
Unsure where to get the keys. There wasn't even a bar fridge to put milk or cold drinks cool. No TV for night time watching. Notice says to put towels on floor for replacing when dirty, but never got replaced. Nothing in room to help to clean up and no one to clean. Shower not working properly. The hot water does not close, must push in tap to close, but there were no instructions for this.
Totally different to image advertised on webpage. Cant use hot and cold water, only 1 or the other. Bathroom didn't smell fresh at all, many cobwebs too.
Not nice at all, room's light didn't work. I was moved to another room with a bath, but there was no shower. The room stinks and the towels stink too. I would not recommend it at all!
I would not recommend Old Transvaal. I have never been so disappointed in my life. Upon arrival we went to find the reception. Old Transvaal Inn is actually the shop's name and the so called in is The Chocolate Kitchen. An inquiry was made and we were told to just walk around the corner and call the number on one of the doors. We called the number and it was explained to us where our unit is, you can just go in, it's open. Okay, walk in, the bed is not made, dirty towels are hanging crookedly over the shower, unflushed toilet, the trash is full of chocolate papers. There are cups, sugar and coffee, but no kettle. I will not use the stay again nor recommend it.
Well located and affordable.
Very nice place. Rooms are very neat and clean, definitely worth the effort and money. Regularly play Highland Gate Golf Course and will use Old Transvaal Inn every time.
The room is very clean and well furnished. I just thought it was self catering and expected a stove or microwave. But will know next time. Either way, it's good value for money.
Checked in easily. Pleasant atmosphere. Accident with load shedding only one candle for light. Two easy chairs not particularly comfortable. Everything was clean. Nicely central and a pleasant visit. Thank you.
A very nice place for someone who doesn't want to spend unnecessary money on frills.
Thank you very much for the good and fast service.
Late check in was accommodated. Wait on duty was asleep but woke up to book me in. Not tight parking. On the way back we visited the restaurant, poor service, but the accommodation was adequate.
Comfortable place to spend the night for just a bed and kettle.
See stars.
Room was awesome and the bed was very comfy.
Very central and close to everything.
Very satisfied with well equipped room and facilities will come again.
Value for money. Clean and tidy room. Linen is lovely. Close to everything.
The place is well furnished and clean enough so that you will be able to enjoy a nice place to sleep in Dullstroom. It's not set up for someone who wants to spend a lot of time at the accommodation, because there isn't actually any outside space where one can spend time quietly and privately. But very good value for money and comfortable enough for overnight accommodation.
The women who work there did not tell us that we had to turn on the outside lights ourselves if we came in at night. So we got there when it was dark and it was pitch dark with stairs etc. where one could not see anything. Maybe just draw guests' attention to the lights. Although WiFi is advertised we did not know what the password was. This is not indicated or given in the rooms. So we couldn't use it.
We stayed for 1 night, accommodation was perfect for what we needed.
We really enjoyed staying at Old Transvaal Inn. Price is reasonable and is accessible for people in wheelchairs. It is the perfect overnight stop for people who tour around from early morning until night. The place is centrally located and easy to find. We slept nice and warm under the cuddly duvet and the fireplace was a bonus for sure. The bedding is of good quality. Shower is a bit too small though. Old Transvaal Inn will see us again for sure. If I can make a suggestion, a better arrangement can be made regarding the payments between the website and Old Transvaal Inn, we already paid the full amount earlier in the week, but on Saturday morning at a quarter past 6 one of the staff was at the through to collect the money. It was not a nice way for me to be woken up.
Feel free to put a plug on top of the table to be able to boil the kettle.
The facilities are really nice. However, at no point did we see the owner. Key was handed over by worker only on arrival. The bath was far too small for my husband - but at least he is 2.1 m tall. It is not a very quiet place to stay. One can hear your neighbors every time they turn on a faucet or use the toilet. However, what was the worst is that we had to lie the 2nd night and listen to the neighbors shouting at each other in their drunkenness. Decent spoons at kettle would have been appreciated too, plastic spoon broke first time we tried to take out tea bag.
Both times we stayed at the Inn, I had to ask neighbors to please be quieter. The drinking, swearing and fighting was too bad this last time. It's a shame because the Inn offers quite a bit of value for money.
Rooms are not cleaned, serviced and restocked when staying for more than one night with toilet paper, firewood etc. The cosy restaurant with fireplace and TV was a highlight during previous stays and has now sadly closed down. This was a big disappointment as it was the main reason for choosing the Old Transvaal Inn.
Unit consists of one room, was under the impression it was a 2 bedroom unit. No fridge, wifi or microwave. Unit needs attention (TLC), dual power plug was faulty and unsafe, bulbs need replacing. Unit is not value for money when compared to other accommodation in Dullstroom.
The Inn is not what we expected and we would not recommend it to friends or family.
Beautiful place. Clean facilities and great service.
The stay was very pleasant and Munro went out of his way to make our visit pleasant and to tell us a lot of interesting information about the town and surroundings.
Safe, clean and tidy. The bath is a bit small.
The room was neat and clean. Bathroom a bit small and would have liked a fridge in the room, but otherwise very nice stay.
Enjoyed our stay. Easy late check-in and simple check out. Very centrally located.
Very nice and cheap accommodation if you want to stay for one or two nights.
Perfectly located. The room was very cozy and absolutely perfect for us. Would love to return to Old Transvaal Inn again.
On a very cold evening, the firewood for the fireplace and the hot tub were very welcome.
Reception was brisk and we had a nice stay. Was just too short and unfortunately had to leave again the next day. Will definitely go again.
We had a great stay at the Old Transvaal Inn. The room is very comfortable and more than enough for what we paid for it. The cars are almost in the street, but there is a security guard on duty in a house that is right next to the cars on the sidewalk. It is within walking distance of Dullstroom's cutest restaurants and shops. It was really nice and so affordable! Thank you!
We only slept over, but there is a lot to do within walking distance. Excellent value for money.
Neat, walking distance from shops.
Bedding wasn't that clean, also towels smelled. Asked the cleaning ladies next day to no prevail. First night very noisy, hardly slept. Otherwise it is okay.
Although many people will expect more from accommodation (no television, no room service, no restaurant, no fridge in room, no hanging space or clothes hangers in closet) it is ideal if you are looking for a comfortable, clean place to stay while visiting Dullstroom.
Our neighbours smoked and drank outside our room. Very inconsiderate.
Well located, no need to drive, friendly service from everyone, night guard very reliable!
The Old Transvaal Inn is very neat and clean. Slept well, fireplace is definitely a plus for the colder evenings and the spacious room was nice. Comfortable place to stay.
The location is ideal. Booking in is confusing as there is no reception.
Good value for money. The rooms are very neat and comfortable. However, bathroom very small and can think about replacing the shower curtains with doors, while the tiling in the shower also needs attention and cleaning.
Place was neat, owner was friendly. Worth sleeping over on a trip.
Feel free to put in a TV, microwave oven and a bar fridge.
The rooms are clean and tidy. But the extra blankets were very dirty. They really can buy new towels too. The towels they give look like my floor towels at home.
Location is good for exploring Dullstroom on foot. However, advertisement talks about safe parking while car had to spend the night on pavement.
Beautiful place and definitely worth it.
Can walk straight into room doors from the road. There was a knock on our door 2 times during the night by people walking around.
First, a mix up with payments, I paid in full and they said that I needed to pay again which I refused and showed them proof. No one was there when we arrived. We had to phone and waiting a while to get in. Bath is so small, I could not fit so I could not clean up.
No fan/air cooling or any other standard amenities, no one received us, in other words no contact person. Your vehicle is on the street, definitely not value for money, would not recommend.
Expected more. Place was open too. Guests made noise all night. No secure parking for vehicle.
Room neat and clean.
Very clean comfortable, walking distance from shops and restaurants, friendly management and overall just very good stay.
Very good location in Dullstroom. Breakfast at Caddyshack is also very delicious. Even when we misplaced our key for a while in the evening, Munro very kindly helped us.
Very calm. The only problem was the parking - one's car is basically parked in the street.
Very centrally situated. Staff were very helpful and courteous. I will book and stay there again.
The breakfast was excellent.
Good service and value for money.
The reception was chaos. We arrived late and no one knew about us, or where we were going. there was a security guard but he couldn't really help us. The room was neat and the fireplace was lovely.
The breakfast was very nice. We will definitely come back again.
The bathtub in the bathroom was quite uncomfortable for us as a relatively elderly couple. A recommendation would be the conversion of this bath to a shower.
See stars.
Wat 'n awesome klomp mense wat hierdie plek run. So behulpsaam en altyd vriendelik. Ek sal weer by hulle gaan bly.
The room was neat and clean. The location is excellent. No complaints. Very good value for money.
We had a nice stay, didn't want to go home! The rooms are beautifully appointed. Paint over the stone in the bathrooms. It gives character. We will definitely visit again. Garden is beautiful, I took a lot of photos to share with friends and family. Great breakfast at restaurant.
Old Transvaal Inn is very central and close to everything in Dullstroom. The room was very neat and comfortable with a nice fireplace and wall heater for the cold. It was definitely very good value for what you pay and I would definitely recommend it.
Easy to check in, even though we were earlier. Comfortable beds.
Slept very well and the costs were very reasonable. At reception it was a bit confused as a first visitor I didn't know where to go was helped later in the bar area. Was not informed that kitchen closes early so I had to go elsewhere for food. That's all I can say negatively, was really worth the money unfortunately had to leave early and missed the breakfast since they only opened at 7am.
Very clean and tidy. Affordable. Centrally located.
See stars.
Thoroughly enjoyed, with all amenities within walking distance.
Lovely, central inn. A walk to all main restaurants. Very reasonable budget accommodation. Polly Potters and chocolate shop inside the Inn's restaurant. Just take some board games to entertain kids as there is no TV. Which we liked.
Good value for money and close to everything.
Although there was no shower in the room, the bath was perfect and water blazing hot. The room was very spacious and spotlessly clean. Quality of linen and towels was good and the bed comfortable. The fireplace and wood provided were a welcome addition on the chilly evening we were left with. Friendly reception. Overall, very good value for money.
The room we stayed in had a fireplace. No television or a bar fridge, but it was the main reason we booked there: peace and relaxation. The Old Transvaal Inn is central and makes it easy to explore Dullstroom further on foot. It was a wonderful, relaxing experience. We certainly go back.
Best value for money.
Pleasant experience. Would stay there again anytime.
The room was nice and clean and the location was in the perfect spot for the Mpumalanga 400 Rally which is held annually in Dullstroom.
We were very relieved with the car guard who looked after our vehicles. However, it was disappointing that there was no kettle or cups in the "budget" rooms - it is not advertised anywhere so it wasn't until afterwards that I saw the difference in the photos and paying R25 for a takeaway coffee is a bit expensive. Because that and a fireplace (which you don't use in the summer) are the only difference in the respective accommodation and the difference in rates. But I will definitely use them again.
See stars.
Although we were welcomed friendly and hospitable, we were slightly disappointed in the room itself. We had a room with four single beds. However, there were only extra blankets for two beds. The room has a very cold tile floor and one would expect at least foot mats for each bed. There were only glasses available to drink water, but no kettle to boil for eg. one's own coffee. There were also no coffee, tea, sugar or milk. The pressure in the bathroom cranes is poor. The tap had to be fully opened, after which the water came out after a second or two and all had splashed. The space around the sink and shower itself was not clean and tidy. None of us therefore wanted to shower. So, although I recommend Old Transvaal Inn as an overnight stay, it is with reservation. Compared to other places for which we paid more or less the same, Old Transvaal Inn's facilities fall short.
Accommodation is basic and clean.
Disappointed, the advertisement of accommodation on website beautiful, and the real one not what you expected to get.
See stars.
Travelling by motorcycle we were greeted with the words, "They steal bikes here" and we were asked if we would like to hire an alarm. Not quite the welcome that we would have liked. We parked the bikes as close as we could next to our rooms and had no problems. The bathrooms were so small, as to be almost unusable by an adult.
