In Bell Street, rich in history, we offer a selection of either a 2 or 1 bedroom, with limited self-catering facilities, DStv bouquet and lock up garages or parking behind security gate. Some drivers with the new style big bakkies may experience parking problems.
All our accommodation is child friendly and some, pet friendly -pets only by advance arrangement. Restaurants, museums, and shops are within walking distance.
From its earliest days Colesberg has been a bustling town yet also a resting and meeting place. It became the gateway to the north for explorers and hunters, later for those adventurous enough in seeking their fortune on the Diamond and Goldfields. Colesberg today, is also the southern gateway to the Lake Xariep Tourist Route R58. This route R58 covers Gariepdam, Norvalspont, Venterstad, Oviston and Bethulie.
The Colesberg-Kemper Museum with its 19th century toy collection and memorabilia is the permanent house to the UNISA Karoo Nomad Photographic Exhibition. Of interest are also the Anglo-Boer War and the Struggle rooms. Together with Anglo-Boer War sites and a fine selection of 19th century buildings Colesberg offers an exciting reflection on the past and present. In close proximity you can enjoy a nine-hole golf course with challenging Karoo fairways, well-maintained grass greens, aprons and well-equipped club house facilities. Other facilities in town include tennis courts, cycling and walking routes, the family and pet walking route, bird watching and unique sunrises and sunsets as only the Karoo has to offer.
We welcome you to experience and explore the town, enjoy the warm hospitality of this unique place and its people.

We stayed and slept very well. Location is excellent.
It was a quick overnight stay. Dawid was on hand to show us to our cottage and explained everything in detail. My wife left her tablet behind and Dawid arranged immediately to courier it without prior payment. Dawid and Jurie are wonderful humans.
See stars.
Our stay was as expected. We were passing through, so we were happy with the accommodation, which was perfect for our needs.
What a beautiful stay. Ideal for if you want to make an overnight stop. Had a great meal at the Plattelander restaurant, which is just walking distance from Toverberg.
The owner was very hospitable and friendly. The apartment is very well maintained. Highly recommend.
Great, very large room.
This house is the most beautiful historic place, comfortable, extremely neat, safe and ideal for my small dog. Our host is a friendly and extremely considerate man. I will stay there again for sure. The house is in a very convenient location near 2 great restaurants and it's wonderfully quiet and dark at night. Nice stay!
Host was friendly, and the room was neat, tidy and spacious. The area is nice, and it was quiet.
It was absolutely lovely. The little attentions to detail really count for me. We were comfortable and warm. It is a very quaint establishment. The owner was very helpful and even helped us with freezing space for close to 100kg of venison meat. An excellent restaurant "Die Platterlander" was conveniently just across the road. We had a very memorable stay. Thank you for all your help. Your agents are wonderful.
Beautifully furnished with every imaginable item to make your stay comfortable (and deliciously warm) even in the cold Colesberg winter.
Had a great time, definitely recommend!
We had a great time. Neat, convenient and comfortable.
See stars.
Easy and convenient.
Excellent stay. Would definitely recommend.
Great place to stay over for a stopover en route to Cape. No issues checking in or out, beautiful room with everything you need for a one-night stay. Would recommend and will definitely use again on our next trip .
We had a very nice stay at Toverberg Guest Houses. The place is neat, clean, and well located, within walking distance of the restaurants. A bonus is the air conditioning. I recommend the place and would love to stay there again in the future.
Very nice stay thank you. However, missed a kitchenette or at least washing up facilities for dishes. Was dependent on bathrooms for washing dishes. WiFi would also have been welcome.
Very spacious, nice stay. Fireplace delicious.
The place is spacious enough to relax after a day in the car.
Had a very nice stay, and everything was handled professionally.
Beautiful place, very convenient for an overnight stay between Pretoria and the Cape. Always a pleasure to stay there. Thank you.
We have been staying here for many years on our way to the Cape, and always find the accommodation neat, clean and comfortable. Reception is always friendly and efficient. Already became a friend actually. Colesberg is also a nice and clean town, and very conveniently halfway between our destinations.
Toverberg Gastehuis offers a peaceful and pleasant stay. The part of the living unit allocated to us has a spacious bedroom with a double bed, a particularly tasteful sitting/dining room with DSTV, a fully equipped kitchen and a luxuriously renovated bathroom. Toverberg is strategically located near adjacent restaurants and in a particularly interesting cul de sac with numerous inhabited historic houses that are unique to the 'old' town. A locked garage is also available, while emergency lamps are available in every room during ESKOM antics. We can recommend Toverberg without reservation.
Thank you very much. Great accommodation and service.
This is our fourth time here, always nice and quiet, always clean, everything you need. Very spacious place. Would recommend it to everyone.
The accommodation is spacious and feels homely with secure parking. Sufficient lighting in case of power failure. We had a nice stay.
We were kindly received, even though we only got there in the dark. The unit is very clean and tidy and the beds are of high quality. Had a great sleep. Can highly recommend it.
We were warmly welcomed by our host Jurie. Pleasantly surprised at this spacious, clean & safe guesthouse. Beautifully decorated with antiques and equipped with everything you need for a stayover. We enjoyed dinner at Die Platterlander which is one of a few restaurants situated within walking distance. Will definitely stay over there again.
Beautiful place and welcoming feeling when you walk in, the place is clean, the beds sleep well. Our dog had fun walking on the grass. What more could one want after a long day's travel.
Wasn't my first time at Toverberg, but like all previous occasions, they are slick and well-organised. The room is spacious, clean, and well-stocked for an overnight stop. Walking distance from multiple restaurants and an aircon for the hot evenings.
Truly the best place on Colesberg we've ever been. Have been traveling through Colesberg for many years and Toverberg Guest Houses are definitely at the top of our list for the future.
Clean and very neat house.
Beds and bedding, bathrooms and utilities were all excellent. Our doggie Scruffles enjoyed frolicking in her own enclosed garden. The TV was a most welcome sight considering the much anticipated Springbok rugby match. The hospitality and kindness shown towards us after a somewhat difficult and tiring journey was much needed.
A great guest house, good location and Jurie provides good customer service.
Very comfortable and near to restaurants.
All you need for a quick in and out. Just don't check in too late. The reception is then irritated. Overall not bad.
Quiet and beautiful place where my pets were safe, which is very important to me.
Trailer parking can be a problem if there are more than two trailers.
Meet needs to spend the night there to or from Cape Town and Jozi.
Good, secure parking in a garage, but space for car access to garage is extremely limited!
Friendly welcome. Comfortable bed, microwave, tea, coffee etc. Walking distance of restaurants.
I can only compliment. Everything perfect. Owner really does more than expected. Neat, clean and everything we needed. Thank you very much.
After a long day on the road we were warmly welcomed. We stayed in the most beautiful cottage. A true oasis for a tired soul and body.
Thank you very much for the warm welcome after a long journey. Jurie really made an effort to wait for me so late. Clean and cuddly. Most delicious bedding. Everything you need for a quick overnight stay. Will definitely stay there again.
I didn't think there were such 'smart' places in Colesberg! If anyone wants to travel in the summer, the aircon is brand new and also best made!
We spent the night in Colesburg a few years ago, were impressed and felt the village deserved more attention. This time we stayed 2 nights, again at Toverberg Guest Houses where Jurie welcomed us in a friendly and helpful manner. The extra day was worth it.
Old world charm unit that is super clean and very spacious. Perfectly situated for a stroll to nearby restaurants. Strongly recommended.
Neat little house with everything you need.
Excellent stay. Attention has been paid to the smallest detail. Rooms are spacious and neat and it was a pleasure to be able to spend the night there. Will definitely use this again and can definitely recommend it.
Maybe it's the Karoo air. Maybe it's the comfy beds with electric blankets. Maybe it's the excellent dinner we had in a restaurant just around the corner. But we slept very well at Toverberg. And simply enjoyed decent coffee the next morning before we hit the road again. We will definitely stay there again.
We had a wonderful stay in Toverberg's beautiful two-bedroom house. The accommodation is equipped with everything one needs for a comfortable overnight stay - even in cold rainy weather it was warm and cosy. Secure parking too!
Lovely, spacious unit, bedroom, sitting/dining room, kitchen with appliances, bathroom with bath and shower. DStv included. Had a great stay and would stay there again. Already told others to stay there.
Neat place with everything one needs.
We were received very kindly and treated like honored guests throughout. The stay in the tasteful, comfortable and well-equipped unit - with a lock-up garage! - was a particularly pleasant experience. It really feels like stepping back in time - without missing anything. The accommodation is close to all services one may need, the Plattelander, a nice Karoo eatery, is within walking distance and fuel is available around the corner. Thank you very much for a wonderful historical stay experience.
We were kindly received. The unit is very homely and spacious, which made us feel very much at home. In the rainy weather, the fireplace was welcome. The lock up garage was a bonus. We recommend the accommodation.
We have been there 3 times already, always beautiful. All I would say is that the curtains or something smelled a bit dusty. Other than that, we can't complain, love the place.
We were pleasantly surprised, and rested well. The house is very nicely furnished and everything is comfortable, clean and tidy. Our car was safely locked and thank you very much Jurie for your friendly welcome.
Had a very friendly reception.
The host thought of everything. enough power plugs, 2-point plugs, USB charger, fridge, freezer, comfortable beds, carpets etc. and everything was spotless. We used 2 of the 3 bedrooms in cottage 5. Ideal for friends/family to stay in the house together. Incredibly pleasant experience. Thanks Jurie, would stay there again anytime.
Crisp, pure white linen on the beds is something that immediately spelled quality and clean to me. I will stay at Toverberg again for sure. Thanks for excellent service, Jurie!
Very clean and well provisioned. All amenities on site. Walking distance to restaurants. Will use again.
Lovely overnight stay, clean and very comfortably furnished.
Good value, good location within walking distance of restaurants, and very safe.
Toverberg Guest Houses is the ideal place to stay, conveniently close to the N1, but still far enough to ensure a peaceful stay. The house was well equipped with everything needed and the air conditioning helped a lot against the winter cold. The house is perfectly located, walking distance to quite a few restaurants. I can recommend Toverberg Guest Houses and would like to use the accommodation again in the future.
Walking distance to good restaurant. House retains its heat even in winter. Solar geyser gives nice hot water.
The cottage was clean, well equipped, tidy and met all the needs. 2 bathrooms are handy. Also air conditioners and heaters available so any time of the year it will be convenient to stay there.
One of the best accommodations I've stayed at so far. I often travel to the Cape from Botswana or Mpumalanga!
The toilet door is a half door, does not close properly, and is not private if there are 2 people staying in the unit. The unit is much smaller than it appears in the photos.
See stars.
Not long-stay accommodation, but comfortable for a night's sleep.
Stayed here a few times and look forward to it. Historical street. Just gorgeous.
Excellent stay and definite value for money.
Clean, tidy and very hospitable.
Pleasant stay in the beautiful old part of town. Within walking distance of the restaurants. Received good service and the WiFi also works well.
It was a privilege for us to spend the night at 15 Bell Street. The house is in perfect condition and the interior is nicely decorated. Everything is of high quality. We slept wonderfully because the mattress is of good quality and the bed linen is exceptional. The house is located in a very quiet area. There is no road noise. We would recommend Toverberg Guest House as a place to stay anytime.
A beautiful place with antique furniture. Full DStv, delicious filter coffee and fantastic sleep quality. I was received very hospitably and my car "slept" in a locked garage. I would definitely stay there again.
Toverberg Guest Houses offer the weary traveler a home, not just a place to sleep. House is tidy, small detail everywhere - even ground coffee. Lovely to sit under the shade of the big apricot tree after a long drive or to lie on the cool green grass. Not to mention the friendly reception. Restaurants, with Karook food, are within walking distance. We will definitely stay here again.
Neat, clean, warm location. Clean crisp linen and, a bonus there is plunger coffee supplied.
Professional and friendly reception. Beautifully restored and stylishly furnished house, with everything available that one can think of - for the coffee lovers to nut coffee! A lock-up garage where the car is safely parked, and nice biscuits for the morning coffee. A log fire (everything pre-packed, just needs to be lit) to keep the cold away. Highly recommended!
We traveled with our 2 dog children. They were able to be outside safely, and we were really impressed with the cleanliness of the facility. Definitely recommend!
We spent the night well. The service was good, with the right recommendations for restaurants. Our place was very nice neat and clean. Car safely locked in a garage. Would highly recommend Toverberg.
Toverberg was perfect for our overnight stop on our way to Cape Town. Jurie was helpful and waited until we arrived at 20:00. Unit was very clean and had everything one needed. Best part was the lovely, warm, soft beds - just what you need after a long day's drive!
Very neat and well furnished.
Nice old Karoo house with everything you need. Comfortable beds and everything neat and clean.
Jurie is an outstanding host who welcomed us kindly and we immediately felt at home. Our accommodation was very neat, clean, spacious and stylishly furnished. This was our 2nd visit and will definitely use again. The place is very well equipped. Would definitely recommend Toverberg.
Only one night on the way back overnight everything clean and tidy met our expectations. Secure parking.
Wonderful host and ideal accommodation.
Pleasant stay and friendly reception.
Toverberg accommodation was beautifully clean and comfortable. Very well equipped with everything you need. We were kindly received and also informed about restaurants and other attractions. Highly recommended.
Communication to confirm address on the day would be appreciated, the address on the website is in a field somewhere, had to Google to find address. Only after the time realized the address is clearly in the name of the unit. 5C Bell Street, but it was nice and slow.
Only one problem: shower head broken.
Colesberg is ideally located for accommodation en route to the Eastern, Western or Southern Cape. We have stayed at Toverberg Gastehuis 4 times and can recommend it.
The guest house had secure parking, and everything in the room was in order; very neat
Special place to stay with all the amenities that make it very homely.
Very nice and clean, wonderfully private. Beds are incredibly comfortable and rooms very large. Very nice with 2 bathrooms. Hanging area outside in garden is also very nice and private. Everything one needs. Friendly welcome and help throughout the whole process.
We were very impressed with our overwhelming stay in Toverberg. The house was clean, tidy and very pleasant. The reception was friendly, and very helpful.
Big place with everything your heart desires with nice strong showers. Beautiful old town!
Neat with everything you need and more.
Neat, quiet and comfortable. Friendly service.
We were very well received by Jurie. It was reassuring to sleep safely with burglar bars in front of windows and doors, and that our car was also safely parked with bright lights everywhere. Jurie thought of everything: candles and battery lights in case of load shedding, heaters in the living room and bathroom in case of cold, and although the worst of the Karoo cold was over, we appreciated the lovely electric blankets. We were grateful for the small fridge to store our road food, as well as the kettle and welcome tray with coffee and tea. Without sounding ungrateful, we wonder if a small kitchenette - even if only with a sink and two-plate gas burner - could not easily be installed in the spacious sitting-dining room?
Large apartment with a lovely comfortable bed, a nice fireplace for the cold winter evening, and special to sleep in such a historic house. Really value for money! Our car was also locked in a garage for the night.
Jurie is an excellent host and accommodated us regarding our stay dates. At first we couldn't say with certainty which night we would spend the night there. I can recommend Toverberg.
Ideal for a stopover.
Very convenient stopover on the way to PE.
Very comfortable beds! Will definitely stay there again!
The little things are in the right place (like an electric plug to charge a mobile phone), no need to bend down and scratch to find one. A comfortable little table to work on.
Antique feel. Clean and tidy. Suitable for overnight stay.
Lovely, spacious rooms and has more than you need.
Jurie is hospitable and his place is beautiful. Thank you very much for a lovely evening.
15 Bell Street is such a comfortable cottage to discover Colesberg. Our two dogs enjoyed the securely fenced private yard after the long drive. Bordeaux restaurant down the street has fantastic country food.
Pleasant surprise in Colesberg, very nice stay, will stop there again.
Thank you very much for the friendly reception. The unit was very comfortable and clean. Beds were comfortable and made up with high quality linen. Even the kitchen is comfortably equipped and tidy. Filter coffee and delicious rusks give even more points to the accommodation.
Clean, welcoming, warm. A real gem.
Toverberg offered me just the very affordable peace, calm and safety I needed to spend the night well.
This is our second year staying at Toverberg and it was fantastic as always. I love the history in the room.
Professional with reception. Helpful and secure parking available.
Thank you very much for a very pleasant experience. Old world charm. Lovely silence. Music for the soul.
Thank you very much - we had a wonderful stay there! The rooms were comfortable, clean and neatly furnished. The service very good! We have already recommended several people there, and will definitely stay there again!
Thank you so much for such a clean and neat, peaceful stay. It was value for money, and I appreciate it from the depth of my heart that you shared the beautiful place with us.
What's better than a spotless room, bathroom and a white starched linen bed after a long night's travel! Heavenly.
Great stop from CT to Gauteng.
We’ve always had a warm welcome in this superb, clean guest house.
The old buildings are so beautifully done!
We enjoyed a comfortable overnight stay en route to the Cape in this historical cottage, renovated for comfort and convenience.
Friendly owner. Good location and neat rooms.
The best night of our travels. Was like being on the farms we grew up on. Spacious, need and tidy. Honest people, an experience not to be missed. See you next year!
Everything you need for a sleepover and even a lock-up garage for your car.
Very nice overnight destination.
Friendly welcome, close to restaurants. The linen and towels were clean and there were small surprises like filter coffee. Being able to park in the garage was a plus. Thanks a lot.
This was the second time we stayed here and we were very pleased. The owners provided for everything - summer and winter. Everything is clean and tidy. Comfortable bed and bedding. It will also be a comfortable home to stay for a few days. Large fridge and freezer and the kitchen is fully equipped. You also do not have to unload your car because there is a garage available. We will definitely recommend Toverberg to friends.
What an experience. We were warmly received, the place is clean, a home away from home. The beds sleep well and there was no reason for any complaints.
It feels like something from the old days, a house of its own. Beautifully furnished, I just think one should stay a few days. It's beautiful - the street with its ancient houses.
Warm welcome! Secure parking. Home beautiful!
The guest rooms really have everything you need and are very clean and comfortable. Across the street from the Plattelander Restaurant.
We only stayed here one night and were very kindly received by Jurie. The unit is very comfortable and well furnished. Lovely bedding and the heater in the bathroom was a big bonus especially on a cold morning. Thank you very much Jurie, for the excellent recommendation of Die Plattelander for dinner. Will definitely stay here again on our next trip.
They must be doing something right, if I've already stayed over eight time. Thank you Jurie for the quality and excellent value for money.
Very nice and safe accommodation near all the restaurants. The rooms are very neat and clean. The electric blankets were very welcome in the cold.
Jurie is very helpful and friendly. The place is very clean and neat. Can recommend.
We were received with such kindness and the place has everything needed for an overnight stay.
Had a nice stay, will want to visit a little longer next time.
Our stay in Toverberg was a very positive experience. The cottage was beautiful, neat and clean, and with all the amenities needed. We will definitely use them again.
The rooms are very clean, comfortable and well appointed. It is situated in a quiet area of the town with off-road parking, making it a very safe stop over.
Had a great stay. Very neat and clean. It's a lovely quiet street. Would only suggest they make washing up facilities in the sitting/dining room. If you want to rinse out a spoon or cup, you have to rinse it in the bathroom sink. Really all I would suggest.
Centrally situated within walking distance from eating establishments. Very quite. Old house but comfortable and spotlessly clean. Lockup garage was available. Aircon and ceiling fan in the bedroom. Large bathroom with heating. Great place for overnight stay. Credit card facilities available.
Would definitely recommend Toverberg. I felt safe, the accommodation was clean and comfortable with everything you need. My 2 dog children were just as kindly received. A wonderful experience.
Nice spacious rooms, quiet street.
We have stayed the night at Toverberg several times and prefer it because it is in a quiet environment and the rooms have always been tidy and well equipped. The lock-up garage is also very convenient. Would recommend to anyone.
This is the second time I have used their services. Very friendly people. Rooms always clean and tidy. We slept nice and warm and there was also enough room for my two dogs to run around after the long drive.
We usually sleep over at Toverberg when we visit our parents in the North and come back. Jury is very welcoming and accommodating. The places are always neat and clean.
Neat place to sleep in a quiet area.
Firstly, the booking was very easy and the confirmation texts very welcome. We were also very kindly received upon our arrival. The unit was fully equipped for 4 people with everything we could possibly need. The air conditioners were a big plus as it was very hot. We will definitely stay here again.
Very cute and luxurious. Definitely recommend it.
A nice peaceful overnight stay. Beautiful house! Good beds and linen. Slept so well after a long journey.
I definitely recommend the place. Luxury and very clean.
Toverberg was well located for an overnight stop. Neat, clean and safe. Good value for your money. There is a Wimpy nearby for a good breakfast.
Everything was good, slept very well and peacefully.
We had a very nice stay. Very friendly and helpful. It is very safe, our vehicles are also locked so we could only drop off our overnight luggage, the rest could stay in the cars. Very clean and tidy. Walking distance from many good places to eat.
Staying at Toverbeg was a pleasant experience. The owner is friendly and makes you feel at home immediately. The rooms are clean, neat, and comfy. Delicious breakfast. I can really recommend it.
This is definitely one of the best overnight places I've ever been. Would recommend to anyone. Nothing is missing and all your needs are met.
The unit is very well located in a quiet environment!
Many thanks to Jury. We will definitely stay overnight at Toverberg again. Very neat, well located and beautiful place. Enjoyed it a lot. Perfect.
Convenient overnight spot on the way to PE or, like in our case, Baviaanskloof. Friendly people, clean and pleasant accommodation. Lock-up garage was a plus. Have stayed there before and everything is still nice. Pet-friendly for our small dogs who travelled with us.
I will definitely stay again.
Great place to relax after a long drive.
Never been disappointed. Excellent value for money. Clean and tidy and tasteful. All you need. Thank you very much Jury!
See stars.

Friendly reception, very comfortable facilities and safe parking. Very convenient.
Excellent stopover on historic Bell Street. Thank you very much Jury.
We were pleasantly surprised by Toverberg Guest Houses. The accommodation was spacious, beautifully furnished, clean with good quality linen and everything you'd need during your stay. The office staff were efficient and friendly and suggested restaurants without us having to ask.
Very well equipped, clean and neat, one of the few places that provide such a variety of coffee and tea in the room, even filter coffee with a French press.
Fantastic value for money.
Peaceful, safe and clean. All modern amenities that are needed.
It was lovely to get away from the city and experience the quiet of the Karoo in clean and safe accommodation. Only complaint is the noisy air-con in the room. Very nice to have in the hot Karoo summer, but the noise is disturbing.
I was surprised with the accommodation. Everything was thought through, clean and worked properly. Management knows exactly what their guests want. I highly recommend it.
Lovely stay for one night with a whole house at our disposal: tons of space! Lock up garage was very welcome. Well equipped, throughout.
We were warmly welcomed and lead to our room where we were shown all the ligth switches and controls. Afterwards we were shown the garage. We could come and go as we please and the keys were left in the designated spot upon departure.
The best overnight stay ever. Had a braai without any trouble, slept well and had a warm shower before continuing our journey. Vehicle was safe in a garage.
The owner made a lot of effort to accommodate our family with small children. It was a pleasant overnight option with much more space and self-catering facilities than we had hoped for.
One always feels at home at Toverberg. Jurie is very welcoming and ensures that our vehicle is safe in a lock up garage. One can really enjoy a peaceful rest at Toverberg!
Friendly service. Will stay there again.
Lovely accommodation in a quiet part of town and fully and tastefully equipped with everything you need.
Comfortable accommodation. Pity there was no toaster.
This was probably already the fifth time we have spent the night at Toverberg. That says everything! We have never been disappointed and would definitely keep returning.
The houses are stunningly maintained and the coffee and rusks were great when we departed the next morning. Comfortable room and garage for safe parking. Will definitely go back!
The guesthouse is pleasant and has many convenient things like heaters and DStv.
Already stayed here before and was so impressed that I knew this would be my place from now on. It's a gem that stands out in a darkness of sleepovers on the long road to the Cape.
Comfortable, very friendly service. Value for money.
Look at our grading. Words aren't necessary!
Beautiful place. Very nice host. Goodbye in the house too. Thank you very much! Delicious luxury bedding! For me this is the most important!
Excellent value for money. Good quality.
Safe and calm environment for small children.
Cute guest house, would definitely stay there again.
We only spent the night. Couldn't view anything. The reception was VERY friendly and helpful. There are places to eat just across the street. It was very convenient. The garage helped us stay overnight peacefully. We were very happy that we had DStv and the price was very reasonable.
Friendly reception, accommodation very clean and tidy - spacious house equipped with everything you might need. Walking distance to several places to eat. Security very good.
Everything was done according to arrangement. They waited patiently when we were held up.
Enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend it.
Highly recommend! Clean, warm, spacious. Jury nice and helpful. Car safely locked for the evening.
We were kindly welcomed and the place was beautiful. A nice treat were the warm blankets on the beds and the heaters in the bathrooms. The place is well furnished, very neat and clean and we had a wonderful stay.
Very friendly service. Neat, nice stay - couldn't ask for better and would definitely stay there again and recommend everyone to Toverberg.
Comfortable, convenient stay, very central in Colesberg. Walking distance to 2 lovely places to eat.
We were received kindly and the person was very helpful in providing information about the history of the town. It was also clean and tidy.
Accommodation was neat, reception was friendly. To be able to check in until midnight makes it easier for people who come from far, in case something happens.
Please see the stars.
We would definitely recommend Towerberg.
It was our fifth time here. Only problem was that the unit was not pet friendly. There are only cement outside and the pets had a hard time finding nice spots.

From the first contact to book a place, the service was extremely professional. There was no ambiguity. Upon our arrival we were received very professionally and very kindly. Everything in the cottage was absolutely five star quality and it is absolutely value for money. Will definitely go back.

We were received very kindly and then left in peace - that's how we like it. The unit was adequate with all the necessary facilities after a long journey. There are even wall plugs that cater to every need. We would definitely like to stay there again.
Wonderful rural hospitality, delicious fresh air and neat clean accommodation. Will definitely stay here again.
Comfortable accommodation with friendly service.
Even though we arrived late in the evening, the welcome was warm and nothing was too much trouble. Our guest also pointed out where there are nice restaurants and how everything works in the house.
We arrived as customers and left as friends. You won't find better anywhere. It was great to meet someone like Jurie. Thank you very much and congratulations.
I really enjoyed everything. Clean and tidy. Will visit again.
It exceeded our wildest expectations. It is very beautiful and suits our taste so well. Provide a resting place for a weary traveler.
The host is very nice. The guest house is beautiful, clean and nicely equipped.

Excellent, but could have done with a hairdryer in the room.
The accommodation was beautiful, neat, clean and very characterful. The location could not have been better and there was nothing more we could have asked for. The unit was very well equipped.
Definitely a MUST to stay overnight here if you are traveling to or from the Western Cape.
Very neat and spacious. We were also received kindly.
Welcomed appropriately. Had own little sitting room/dining room, with library, TV and this space & bedroom had overhead fans, and an air-conditioner (bedroom). Needs more powerful extractor fan in 'en suite' shower room. Pity that the shower room has no window. Comfortable beds, and situated in quiet side street. We shall go there again.
I traveled with 2 dogs and they had a cute little garden to stretch their legs. Have stayed here for 3 years now.
For a halfway stop between George and Pretoria it was a good choice. Although the rooms are tiled and the ceilings are high, the rooms were delightfully warm due to the air conditioning. I would definitely stay there again.
Wonderful, friendly and helpful.
Toverberg and Colesberg were a pleasant surprise! The guest house is located in the old part of the town, surrounded by beautiful, old-fashioned houses. Dawid, who received us on behalf of the owner, was friendly and very helpful. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend Toverberg.
The cottages are basically located in a dead end street with no view. The accommodation is pet friendly which favors animal lovers. However, for us it was a nightmare. My wife is hyper-allergic to dog and cat hair. The guests in the house next door brought 2 cats who came into the house while we were out and made themselves at home on the couches in the living room. There was almost no mention of our much-needed sleep. So the next morning we left early (and tired) with my wife in great discomfort with her swollen eye and lumps on her face. For us it's goodbye Magic Mountain. (Ermelo)
Friendly welcome.
It is very neat, spacious and comfortable. We will definitely use you again.
Loved the guest house and will definitely stay over again.
There was nothing missing or wrong, which support our opinion of "perfect" above.
Will definitely stay there again!
I have heard a lot about people spending the night on Colesberg, with dire consequences. Magic Mountain is your answer!
The accommodation was very clean and tidy, and just what we needed. Thank you very much.
See the stars below.
My only criticism is that there is no washing up basin for dirty dishes. This could be a problem if one stayed for more than one night.
All the little extras in the room , such as heaters, electric blanket, toiletries, and a super comfortable bed, made my stay there special. A very efficient and friendly host waiting on my arrival, what more could we ask for!!! Thank you.
It was a very cute guest house, very neat and clean. Would recommend to friends and family anytime. Jurie van Wyk was very helpful and a wonderful host. Would stay there again anytime.
Enjoyed the stay. Everything was clean, tidy and organized!

Reception was friendly and professional. Everything was in its place and we will definitely use and recommend the guest house again. Thank you!
Would recommend Toverberg anytime!
Very neat and clean, real value for money!
Family of three had an enjoyable overnight stay at Toverberg guesthouse. Thank you.
Very centrally located. Both for 1-night stays, or for longer holidays. Cottage is particularly comfortable. Kitchen well equipped. Bed slept well!
The place is authentic and beautifully renovated and has a lovely ambiance. We will definitely stay here again!
This was the second time we stayed here - I would think that goes without saying!
We will recommend Toverberg Guest House to anybody. This was a great stay, thanks a lot!
Als was great: the suite, the equipment, the security and location. We were received very hospitably and Barry was very competent, friendly and hospitable. He went out of his way to accommodate me. Next time we will come back in the winter to experience it. We enjoyed our stay very much.
The guest house has everything a traveler needs, from coffee and tea to beautiful bedrooms, comfortable beds and very nice bathrooms. Enough towels and hot water, nice lounge.
See the stars below.
Quiet atmosphere - walking distance to restaurants was a plus.
I know it was winter and water tends to freeze in the pipes, but overall the water pressure in the bathroom needs attention. Overall good, friendly service, safe parking and very good restaurant nearby.
The ideal overnight stop! It meets all expectations! Great value for money and friendly service!
Good stay!
The unit was clean and tidy and there were no problems.
Very comfortable with such an old fashioned feel. Very nice stay.
Very pleasant stay. Will come again.
Very cute.
It was clean and easy to find. The owner was friendly and extremely helpful. The house was comfortable and our dogs were allowed - which was great for us.
It was a wonderful experience. It felt like being a grandchild in Grandma's house again.
Stay was very nice and comfortable.
Recommended for one night.
Exceptional furniture. Well located and easily accessible. Good restaurant nearby. Great rest stop along the way. Thank you very much.
Clean, comfortable, and great value.
After a long journey, one just wants to unpack, have space, eat well and sleep clean and warm. Toverberg offers everything (except the meal), but even for this there are options. A short walk down the street and you can pick and choose what/where/how much you want to eat. We were kindly received, the rooms were spacious, clean and tidy, and everything was just right to rest for the rest of our trip.
See the stars below.
Great place, very homely and comfortable. Definitely recommend.
Can't fault it. Perfect pet-friendly accommodation.
We arrived just after 6pm. The owner immediately greeted us by our last name, and took us to our accommodation. Thank you for the neat and safe place with the convenience of a lockable garage.
Friendly reception on arrival - all facilities explained - very helpful and kind. Lovely, comfortable accommodation. Would definitely recommend to friends and family!
Jurie was a great host and made my self and my wife feel very welcome. Toverberg was very easy to find after turning off the N1. The accommodation was comfortable and clean and the lock up facilities for the motor vehicle good.
Good clean value for money. This was not my first stay at Toverberg.
We enjoyed it and will book the same place every time.
Very comfortable bed/bedding. Everything we needed. Nice and spacious.
Lovely place quite and very safe had plenty of room very large bedrooms lots of tea coffee and rusks. Had booked a single unit but was given a bigger two bedroom one which was a lovely surprise! I would use this place again should the need arise. Many thanks for a lovely relaxing overnight stay with all the mod cons. Hilary Hughes (Mrs)
Very spacious and pleasant accommodation. Good and friendly service.
We would recommend the guest house to anyone. Neat, clean and comfortable. Thank you very much!
Wonderful service, safe and clean.
A lovely location, very safe.
We stayed at 5B Bell Street and there was no toilet door, and no breakfast was served to us - there were only rusks available in the room.
Location good, bedrooms are basic but clean. Lounge overcrowded with old and unnecessary furniture. Safety measures were under question as I stayed in the last unit - by the open field - and hearing dogs barking during the night made me very worried.
Town full of history and restaurants serve great food, all within walking distance from Toverberg, lovely place, very impressed, will spend more time there next time we travel.
Neat and tidy and a definite for any family to overnight. Will proudly recommend it to anybody. Thanks for the reception.
We really had a lekker stay with the family and have already recommended the place to our friends travelling to the coast.
See you again!! The town and Guesthouse is amazing!
As above.Easy to find. Pitty you don't serve supper though.
Very comfortable beds which is essential in my point of view.
Wonderful location!
Toverberg is clean, and has adequate facilities and amenities to provide good value for money. I will certainly stay there again.
We were welcomed and given our room immedietly despite Toverberg not being aware of our arrival/confirmation. In fact they gave us a bigger suite. Its location is within easy walking distance of at least three restaurants. We were most impressed by the facilities in the suite - one doesn't even get that in the so-called hotels. Well done Toverberg!

From its earliest days Colesberg has been a bustling town yet also a resting and meeting place. It became the gateway to the north for explorers and hunters, later for those adventurous enough in seeking their fortune on the Diamond and Goldfields. Colesberg today, is also the southern gateway to the Lake Xariep Tourist Route R58. This route R58 covers Gariepdam, Norvalspont, Venterstad, Oviston and Bethulie.
The Colesberg-Kemper Museum with its 19th century toy collection and memorabilia is the permanent house to the UNISA Karoo Nomad Photographic Exhibition. Of interest are also the Anglo-Boer War and the Struggle rooms. Together with Anglo-Boer War sites and a fine selection of 19th century buildings Colesberg offers an exciting reflection on the past and present. In close proximity you can enjoy a nine-hole golf course with challenging Karoo fairways, well-maintained grass greens, aprons and well-equipped club house facilities. Other facilities in town include tennis courts, cycling and walking routes, the family and pet walking route, bird watching and unique sunrises and sunsets as only the Karoo has to offer.
We welcome you to experience and explore the town, enjoy the warm hospitality of this unique place and its people.
