"Very lovely stay. Will return."

This was truly an amazing place to stay at. The pictures do not do the accommodation justice. It is really a breathtaking place that is suitably centrally located. Should we return to Douglas in the future, we will definitely return to the accommodation. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

"Beautiful unit and wonderfully warm. 10/10 Thank you very much."

Fantastic stay!

"Everything we needed."

We had a nice stay. WiFi password was not available in the room.

"Outstanding."

Great stay, guest house is beautiful.

"Fantasies."

Was a fantastic place to sleep over. Especially if you arrive there on a motorcycle. Room is big. People are particularly friendly. Definitely the place to sleep over.

"Excellent stay!"

Villiera Guest House exceeded our expectations! This is a special place! The most beautiful gardens, tasteful and durable furniture and decor. They were also very kind to put a cot in the room especially for our 7-year-old. We regret not being able to stay there longer, really worth it, and surprising how many activities there are in the area. Douglas is a beautiful clean town.

"We slept well."

We arrived in the dark and struggled to see the entrance. A light can be put up by the name board. The room is neat and clean. Our room no 6 is just not in a nice place, because it is next to the kitchen and opposite the laundry. So early there was already a noise. Would have stayed in one of the front rooms instead. Maybe you should include a floor plan so you can see where the rooms are.

"Outstanding!"

Delicious and comfortable.

"Fantastic facilities, and very friendly management."

Wonderful stay. Very clean, tidy and friendly. Will definitely come again!

"Extremely comfortable accommodation."

The room was, as always, extremely comfortable, clean and tidy. We always have a wonderful stay at Villiera Guest House.

"Very good and tidy accommodation. Reception very friendly and assistance with small requests was no problem."

Very neat and well maintained premises. A grill was quickly provided even though we arrived after dark. Was a pleasure to stay there.

"Beautiful Guest House."

We will definitely use Villiera Guest House again if we visit the area. Room, bathroom, kitchen easy to wash and tidy. Very safe and calm atmosphere. Room was absolutely beautiful. Air conditioner was definitely a "blessing" in the heat. Atmosphere of "tranquility". Amazing, slept great. Sitting and drinking early morning coffee on the stoep - in lovely silence, coolness and trees.

"What a pleasant surprise! The guest house and the surroundings are so beautiful!"

The many verandas where one could enjoy the beautiful gardens and trees were such a pleasure! The decor in all the units is very nice, the food was really good and the service and friendliness of the staff was excellent. We will definitely stay there again.

"An oasis in to which one may retreat to in the harsh Northern Cape."

It's always a delightful experience to stay over at Villiera Guesthouse. Guests are well-received, the gardens are stunning and the rooms are well-appointed and clean. What more can one say?

"Really an amazing place to visit! Pretty!"

Absolutely beautiful place. Amazing trees, grass, cute coffee shop. The room was so beautiful! However, our room wasn't as clean as expected. The bed coverings had spots on them, and the chairs in the room weren't clean. The rest of the stay was amazing! Spacious room, bathroom was great, kitchen well-equipped (could use some work on the cutlery). Furthermore, we were very happy.

"Very nice place with lovely coolness under the trees."

The place is very clean and tidy. It is very popular though - there was a conference with a large group of noisy people during our stay. The next day there was an art market. So choose your time wisely.

"Great stay."

We stayed in the self-catering unit with our children! Most beautiful porch and nice stay! Laundry service is great! There is just not good wifi, but otherwise we slept great!

"Quiet farm atmosphere."

Very nice place. Almost feels like you are on a farm with the nut trees and the silence.

"Exceptional stay."

Absolute value for money and do try the breakfast. Had a great night's rest and will definitely visit again.

"Neat, good value for money."

My wife says she "loves it".

"Pleasant."

Nice place and refreshing.

"Very good experience!"

We went for a funeral but we had a good experience with timing and all the help we received from the staff!

"Stayed here as we were retracing steps from when I had stayed here often from 2013-2017. Not as good as it used to be - 2 x new owners in the meantime, has lost it's personal touch. Loadshedding meant that cell network was not available, thus calling to say we were at the gate was problematic and we waited for someone to exit and drove in. Felt uncomfortable to do (security). Friendly reception but tricky terrain as they have been building and lighting to our parking area was not good. "

Got the self catering unit, which we had not asked for which, overall, was not a problem, except the utensils provided seemed haphazard and definitely not adequate for a family who would potentially stay in the unit: one fork, 2 knives, 4 spoons, a teaspoon, a mix of plates and cups. Coffee selection was awful: Ricoffee only - it felt as though it had not been stocked and checked. 2 Stale rusks in the tin. Needs a lot more attention to detail. Breakfast was very fairly priced but moderately good - did not get order as asked, took quite a while to get the food so I did not sweat it. I realise that Covid probably has not helped. Things obviously still need to settle with the new owners. Bath tap fitting is positively dangerous as it was fitted upside down! Health and safety needs attention. Were not able to connect to the Wi-Fi - thus if travelling for work this is not a good option. Would not recommend for now, even though the cleanliness and the bed were very good.

"Only arrived late at night, but the telephone reception helped us a lot. The rooms were neat and all amenities were available."

The lady on duty helped us get in by phone and the keys were in our rooms. We were also helped with possible places to eat in the town. Although the rooms were clean and tidy, they are not quite 4 star standard and not worth the price per night. I would rather spend the night at cheaper places next time. Everything as in the photos is there but definitely more outdated.

"Very disappointed. Not what I expected."

I chose Villiera Guesthouse because of all the positive things I saw on Facebook and on their e-mails to me. I saw that it was rated a 4 star guesthouse, so I had certain expectations, but I was satisfied, because what was offered on the e-mails and facebook matched a 4 star. I went with my sister's son. When we arrived there and the receptionist opened the kitchen cupboard, two cockroaches scattered away. The cupboard had a mouldy, mildewy smell. I bought cockroach repellant and discovered a few more. The saucepan had no lid. The layer of ice in the freeze compartment of the fridge was so thick, that we could hardly get the ice tray out. The fridge wasn't cold (because it was obviously not cleaned and defrosted for a long time), so I had to switch it to the top level (5) to keep our perishables cold. Only the next day I could turn it back to 3 again. The TV did not work. The receptionist brought another decoder, but it did not help. She promised to call DStv the next day. She did so and they came. The TV worked afterwards, but still, at times, gave problems by only showing "loading, loading." They said that the DStv was the full package, but some of the KykNet channels were not there. The Wi-Fi went on and off, on and off. I was looking (very much) forward to relaxing in the spa and having hot stone therapy, etc. We also prepared ourselves for using the bar, especially at 00:00 on New Year, to drink a special toast with the other guests! (But also during our stay) Neither the spa or bar was operating. I was very disappointed and asked them how they could entice people to their guesthouse under false pretences, expecting us to still pay the full amount and not having the services that were advertised, especially during the holidays and the festive season? The receptionist was very friendly and understood my concern, so she offered us a breakfast on the house. We appreciated that and I realize that she walked the extra mile for us. She was very accommodating throughout our stay. The breakfast, however, was also not worth the R90 that it would normally have cost us. We looked forward to swimming, since I do not have my own swimming pool at home and I prayed for good weather to allow swimming. What a disgrace! Well, I saw some people in the pool. Apparently opinions definitely differ, but normally, I guess, one would expect a clear, blue swimming pool that makes you feel that you could just get in as soon as possible and enjoy the crispy, cool, lovely water. Geez, what I saw scared me. I wondered what could be below there and maybe catch me by the feet! For the first two days one could not even see the bottom, the water was too filthy. From the 3rd day on the water was clean, but then I saw that the pool was painted black and the paint was chipping off severely. It did not look very appealing. It created the impression of a dam in which one could just add a few Khoi fish. I know that Douglas is a small town and it's known for its peace and quiet, but we really expected something special for New Year. I can just imagine how much money they could have made and how much publicity they would have gained by distributing flyers in advance, saying that they would be presenting a New Year's dance, the fires would be burning, the bar would be open, braai packs would be for sake, etc. I assume this maybe has nothing to do with the guesthouse itself, but I just wanted to share the thought. In general I just want to say that I do not only want to complain. I must compliment the guesthouse on their lovely, luscious, peaceful gardens and the way in which they maintain it. It's a pleasure to walk around there and in the evening it looks like a fairy forest with all the dim, romantic lights. The receptionist tried her best to help us and I told her that I knew that she is merely another employee there and she cannot take the blame for our concerns. Sorry that I had to write such a long review, but maybe it's time that you do a re-grading and pitch up unannounced. I did not want to be so negative, but I felt that I had to mention these things.

"Beautiful place will definitely come again."

Unfortunately only slept and could not stay longer, but beautiful place and very peaceful.

"Delicious, safe and on the way to Vanwyksvlei."

Delicious, safe and on the way to Vanwyksvlei. Clean linen. Soft pillows. Delicious breakfast.

"It was pleasant."

It was wonderful to stay there. Room was clean, large and very nice. Only one request. It would be nice if they could customise their menu for guests. Sometimes you just want to be quiet and make use of room service.

"Beautiful."

Very happy with Villiera.

"We enjoyed ourselves."

The venue is very beautiful, relaxing and inviting. The landscaping is breathtaking but the pool was dirty. We received a warm welcome, the rooms were clean and organised properly. The staff was warm and respectful but the breakfast service was a total mess and disappointing.

"Beautiful place."

Beautiful place with the most beautiful decor and garden.

"Impressive for Douglas!"

Very good standard. Well welcomed.

"Beautiful, well equipped, peaceful."

Totally worth staying here for the night. A wonderful tasty breakfast. Don't trust google maps if you want to see the confluence of the Orange and Vaal rivers.

"Absolutely brilliant."

Very neat, stylish guest house with great service and facilities. Rooms are spacious and tastefully furnished. We will definitely want to visit here again and again.

"Very quaint place in the middle of nowhere."

I was so impressed by the little place, affordable and very beautiful. Outstanding service and the room was clean and neat. I will definitely be back, for work and for holiday.

"Luxury accommodation in beautiful surroundings."

Beautiful rooms with comfortable beds and all the necessary facilities in a nice complex located in a peaceful environment with a nice garden. Suitable for from solo travelers to family groups. Very nice stay.

"Very neat. Good experience."

Recommend it to all travellers.

"Calm, relaxing."

Villiera guest house is a very nice and tidy guest house, well equipped and safe. Very quiet for any age and space for children. The guest house is well located and in the right place for travelers.
