58 guests' feedbackFor me the right distance between CT and JHB. Stay was great, very comfortable - only downside was the lack of meal option but I got something in Colesburg and there was a microwave.
What a surprise! The guest house is beautiful and very neatly furnished. Attention was paid to small details, e.g. soft white towels and dressing gowns. I would definitely recommend the guest house.
Very nice stay. Met all our needs.
Beautiful guest unit with everything we needed for the night. Pieter greeted us kindly and showed us everything. I would definitely recommend this place for a good overnight stay on the long road.
Everything went smoothly.
Incredibly tidy, best linen and towels.
The host was very responsive and helpful with providing braai wood, etc. The flatlets were very well appointed, and we had a lovely time there.
Slept well, adequate, neat, a bit expensive.
Very welcoming, spotlessly clean, lovely bed linen, pillows and towels. Lovely garden to sit in.
The guest house was a great and pleasant surprise for us all as we did not expect to find such a neat, well-run guest house where it is situated in Springfontein. The owners went out of their way to look after our needs and we ended up having a braai using their facilities which they put at our disposal at no additional cost as we supplied our own meat. The rooms were very clean and neat and very comfortable, so we had a very welcome rest before continuing our journey. 10 stars.
The informal garden, fresh sheets and towels and very strong shower was like a welcome oasis after the long journey through the dry Free State plains.
Friendly welcome. Spacious sitting / bedroom with additional room with single bed. All the necessary facilities are available. Neat and clean. Would definitely recommend.
Great place to sleep with tasty 3-course dinners and breakfasts if you book it that way. The guest house is now getting new owners, so I don't know how that will be then.
Graeme is a professional, experienced and resourceful host who runs this top-class guest house 'in the middle of nowhere. Our short stay there was definitely worthwhile.
Efforts made to get items left behind to us.
Beautiful guest house. Nice food. Friendly caring service.
As always Graham was at the gate to welcome you with a smile. The garden is absolutely beautifully kept and a wonderful oasis to relax in after a hard drive. As usual, dinner was magnificent and plates were practically licked clean. The room was very comfortable and we slept well under crisp clean linen. Not my first visit and certainly not my last. Thanks Graham for this little gem in the middle of nowhere.
Arrived at Springfontein Guest House after a good drive through the lovely green Karoo. Attention to detail in the Yellow Room was impressive and the dinner was very good.
Oasis in a small place. Very friendly and hospitable welcome. Clean and very tidy. Had a lovely stay. We will book there again.
Convenient though, the dining experience spoiled everything.
Lovely place to stay in Springfontein.
The meals were generous and tasty. The new hosts were warm and friendly and eager to please. Our room was comfortable and attractive. Our one issue was with the little town itself which is in a terrible state - dilapidated, dingy and utterly depressing. But that is nothing to do with Springfontein House!
The premises are very clean and neat. Good quality fittings and very comfortable. Beautiful dining area and 1st class meals where provided by the ever-attentive host. Superb!
Hospitable owner. Neat and spacious room.
Town is dilapidated but the guest house looks good. Owner makes an effort to make you feel at home.
Very welcoming family, good food, very accomodating.
Ideally situated for a stopover on the way back from the Western Cape to Gauteng. Very nice rooms in a lushof garden in a quiet street in Springfontein. Graham was the perfect host and both dinner and breakfast were delicious. Can really recommend! Thanks Graham.
Very pleasant stay with excellent food, lovely surroundings and exceptional staff.
Graham was an excellent host. The house is beautifully furnished and the meals (dinner and breakfast) were excellent.
My husband and I were pleasantly surprised when we entered the green loop court. The rooms are beautiful and the service was excellent. Thank you very much.
Perfectly located if you are driving from Cape to Jhb. Silver clean. Nice stay.
We very much enjoyed staying at Springfontein Guest House and the host was wonderful.
Thank you, Graeme, for arranging and assisting with our trailer.
Graham is an incredible host, the dinner was delicious and his doggies adorable! The room is beautiful and comfortable. Would definitely stay over again!
We had a nice overnight stay but there are some problems, the shower head of the bath sprays in all directions, so you can't wash or wet your hair properly. The bath plank is falling apart with dangerously protruding nails. The meals offered are also not value for money, a plate of pudding costs R50pp. The place is strategically well located.
Very comfortable guesthouse. I was there for one night to attend a farm wedding.
Ideal location for us, mid-way between Cape Town and Hilton. Springfontein Guest House is a quiet haven of peace on the very edge of the little "dorp" with glorious sunset views over the veld. The meals are delicious and the catering and decor are traditionally warm and lavish, in an appealingly old-fashioned way.
We were very late for dinner, as we had trouble on our way. But our host was ready to receive us with delicious, hot food. He was very considerate. The house and garden are cosy and the interior extremely tasteful. It helped to get a good night's rest after a very long day.
An oasis in the landscape!
Very hospitable thanks
This was a lovely find. The accommodation is very comfortable, the food was great, the owner is very hospitable.
Sorry about the neglected town, but it's probably not the guest house's fault.
Reception was good and our room was clean and neat. Thanks.
We were well taken care of and enjoyed our stay. The service received from all is excellent and we enjoyed a good SA dinner and breakfast with even a good choice of SA wines! The rooms are neat, clean and well equipped for the FS winter.
The guest house is very well located. We traveled from the Eastern Cape to Mpumalanga. So it was about half way.
An oasis in a small town that is struggling.
The house is set in an area steeped in Anglo Boer war history. The owner is very knowledgeable on the local history. Service is great! Prompt, courteous and very professional.
Very good location and the owner was friendly without being overbearing. The dinner was fragrant, as was the breakfast. They have a liquor license and so wine is available with dinner. Decor in the rooms, as well as the house, is nice with interesting antiques and clean. Will definitely stay there again.
What a wonderful experience. The hospitality is unbelievable, the food was amazing, the rooms convenient, clean and neat.
Relaxing and comfortable. The room was very neat and our meals were very tasty.
Went out of their way to meet us with dinner even though we were late.
Very good food, involved host, surprise.
It was really amazing! Clean and friendly service. We stayed at 7 different places on our holiday of 3 weeks, but this one was the best! The town is quite old which might have been the reason why we have never stayed here before on our yearly holiday.
We were on the road for 4 weeks and this was definitely our biggest surprise. The owner is charming and obviously has a flair for what he is doing at his guesthouse. We strongly recommend it. Will definitely stopover here again.
See our rating.
Great hospitality and a comfortable room.
I would not recommend this guest house. My reasons are that the host did not receive us, the house has some interesting pieces of furniture and art but is neglected and needs a lot of restoration. The bathroom was tired and the mattresses slept through, and our air conditioning was out of order. Dinner was tasteless, although the tables were nicely set.
