523 guests' feedbackHost is fantastic and very helpful.
Very quiet and safe. Surprised by a clean little town and friendly reception. Great service.
It was a short overnight stay.
Had a wonderful stay. Unit was comfortable and our host was very helpful. We will stay again.
Yes, very nice stay. 2nd time that there are left. Will definitely go again if I have to travel in that direction.
Friendly reception by Roland. Neat unit with everything needed for one night's stay. Will definitely recommend.
Great set up and service.
Peaceful, easily accessible, clean. Loved the special touch with the muffins and juice.
Very neat and clean, we had a nice stay and the owner was very helpful. Rooms were as advertised and warm blankets were available for the winter. Will make a reservation again if we spend the night in Trompsburg.
We had a great stay, thank you. The road directions at Lekkebly must please. be changed so that one drives around the main street and not Fonteinstr.
Friendly hosts with good facilities.
Neat, beautiful and spacious accommodation, would definitely recommend. Host very welcoming and very helpful when we had to check in later than planned.
See stars.
We had a lovely stay at Fox Den Guest House. Very friendly welcome by the manager. Everything was ready for our stay. Grandchildren had a great time playing on the climbing frame, swings and slide. A wonderful surprise were the muffins and fruit juices in the fridge, as well as the breakfast cereal. We would definitely recommend it to anyone. Thank you very much.
What a hospitable reception! You just feel at home.
Yes, thanks, will definitely use them again.
Host and wife were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely recommend. Restaurant in the village is fantastic. Their food is top notch.
Neat, safe, we were supported with a vehicle that gave problems.
Arrived as guests and left as friends. Very nice stay at Fox Den. Everything was perfect. Fox Den went out of their way to accommodate us with the roadworks and check-in time. We would definitely recommend Fox Den and return to stay there again. Thank you, we appreciate it!
It is always a good stay for our family.
Very good option for an overnight stop.
A well-priced and well-located overnight stop with all the basic necessities.
Very nice venue for overnight.
Units are comfortable and sufficient for overnight stays.
Unit is spacious and everything needed.
Very good. Breakfast made easy.
It is always just a pleasure to spend the night here. I would recommend it to anyone.
We had a great stay and the host was very friendly and helpful. The house was not 100% clean, but still livable and nice. The shower dripped continuously, which was slightly disturbing in the evening (perhaps only because we had to get up at 02:00 the next morning to continue driving). Despite that, it was still delicious there.
Very nice stay and top notch hospitality.
We have stayed there quite a few times and it is a nice place. Always received kindly.
Very comfortable, thank you.
Wanted to stay another night, nice!
Thank you to the host and hostess, you went out of your way to accommodate us!
Had a nice overnight stay, the place is just very small.
No place to hang clothes. Closets are full of storage bedding. Lights don't work either. Mattress is soft.
The shower head was also very bad. The hot and cold faucet at the bath is mislabeled. My little boy burned his hand on it. Furthermore, the place is very cute.
Very tidy and everything you need for an overnight stay after a long journey. Safe and peaceful environment. Communication via the management is fantastic.
Safe parking. Thanks for the milk and other goodies and special trouble to provide ice.
We had a very nice stay. Very nice host and hostess.
Nice halfway stop for PE. Convenient, clean and comfortable. The restaurant in town is open until 8, but there are braai facilities available if needed.
Wraggies very very very good.
Friendly reception and nice time together. Very nice to hang out outside on lawns and barbecue. Will definitely spend the night here again because it's close to N1.
Stopped here on the way to the Cape and it was a lovely, neat stop with a friendly host and hostess. Thank you very much!
We had a wonderful overnight stay!
It was a pleasant stay.
We ended up being involved in a multi-car accident 3km from Trompsburg. The host went above and beyond to help us get our goods out of the wreckage and made multiple trips to take it back to the guest house. He gave my husband coffee in their lounge. It is an ideal spot for overnight stays on a trip. Very well equipped and clean.
Beautiful, neat and clean accommodation. Host very friendly and helpful.
Very friendly by the owners, who explained everything needed. They also recommended a place to eat for the evening.
Very comfortable, affordable overnight accommodation during long distances.
The unit had a problem with the shower. When we turned on the tap, it made a huge racket, so we decided not to risk it.
The kindness and care we received from the owners is exceptional! We arrived late afternoon on a Sunday and found that there were no open restaurants where we could eat. The owner made us dinner and made sure that we are warm and cosy as it was extremely cold. I will recommend Fox Den Guest House to any travellers looking for an overnight stay!
The unit was clean with extras like porridge, biscuits etc. The owners go out of their way to make you feel at home. Perfect place for a stopover between Cape and Gauteng.
Children really enjoyed it and were so neat.
Fox Den is tidy with the necessary for a good overnight stay. They also provide milk, breakfast porridge and biscuits which went down well with my children.
Fox Den is a great stop en route to JHB from CPT. Roland was a great host - he made contact with us a few days before our trip and was really available to assist us along the way with lovely recommendations for where to have dinner. The accommodation had everything we needed, was sparkling clean and we loved the electric blankets! Our vehicle was safe behind locked gates and Fox Den was very easy to find. The cereal, yogurt, muffins and juice breakfast was great. We will definitely stay again on a future trip and we recommend this lovely establishment.
We had a great time staying here! Roland was very kind and made sure the warm blankets were turned on on all the beds and that there was a heater in the unit as it was bitterly cold. There was also yogurt, juice, muffins and biscuits prepared for us for the next morning — something we didn't expect at all and appreciated so much! The unit is very neat and spacious and we stayed very comfortably with our 3 children. We would definitely recommend Fox Den!
Pleasant shower, comfy beds with an electric blanket which we appreciated because it was really cold at night. They have left some supplies in the kitchen like teas, cereals, milk, and muffins. which we didn’t expect but was very convenient. We recommend this place.
Clean, tidy and just bitterly cold. Could do with a heater in the room but otherwise great.
The Fox Den is a great self catering facility to overnight or spend a few days.
Friendly, neat, safe.
We were pleasantly surprised with breakfast in the room (muffins, yogurt and porridge). It had been a nice time. Children had fun playing.
Well equipped and the hostess was extremely friendly, and made us feel welcome.
Everything you need and safe, perfect for overnight on a long road. Clean and neatly furnished. Very pleasantly received.
The braai packs that I ordered were superb and the staff were very helpful.
The place was exactly right for us (3 people, but can comfortably accommodate 5). Very neat. Had delicious snacks, as well as coffee. The place is also very safe and conveniently located. Would love to spend the night there again one day.
Cute little place located in an area we have never visited. The units are neat and clean, as well as practically furnished. The owners are wonderful people and also so nice to talk to. Will definitely visit again and recommend them.
Equipped
This is just what you need. Als was perfect and we had a great stay. Got biscuits, juice, porridge and many more in our unit. It's the little things that mean a lot.
I was very impressed with the cleanliness. Everything was pretty clean. The hostess spoiled us with muffins, juice, sweets, milk, biscuits and corn flakes. We will definitely stay there again if necessary.
Great stay, hospitable!
The units were very neat and clean. Owners were very friendly and helpful.
Very pleasant. Got there late after a long day of driving. Friendly welcome. The breakfast goodies were a bonus.
Great overnight stay at Fox Den. The owners were extremely helpful and will go the extra mile to help. Definitely a winner to sleep over. Thank you very much.
Overall, it was good for an overnight stay. Only the cold water tap in the bathroom did not work. The hot water tap is way too hot to use on its own. Very neat and clean. We arrived quite late. They were very accommodating. Thank you.
The warm blanket and nearby parking were really good. Plenty of space and close to the main road.
Roland received us hospitably. The yogurt, juice and muffin were a great bonus after our long day on the road and although it was taxing, Roland brought us hot water for a delicious coffee.
Friendly welcome and taken to room. Vehicle secure behind locked gate and covered parking.
Perfect overnight destination. The extras like milk, yogurt, muffins, biscuits and cereals for breakfast made it feel like home. Not something you simply receive at an overnight stay. Thanks to the website and Fox Den. For sure we will go back on our next "road trip".
The accommodation is really value for money. Everything is clean and tidy. There is sleeping space for 5, which is recommended for families with 3 children. There were even extras like breakfast cereal, milk and yogurt, which we didn't expect.
Enjoyed the evening and was good for an overnight stay.
Family friendly facilities.
Fantastic neat accommodation, such a friendly welcome and lovely place to sleep. So conveniently located between Bloemfontein and Colesberg. Would recommend it to everyone.
Hosts are very thoughtful. Thank you.
Slept well on a 5-star bed and received a very friendly welcome!
Friendly welcome. Owner available. Secure parking. Delicious meat package.
Winter in the Free State is cold.
We had a nice stay. Friendly service.
Quiet, clean and friendly.
Well received, friendly hospitable. Everything clean and tidy.
We spent the night on our way back from the Cape. We had a nice stay with you, thank you.
We loved the place. It's very good value for money as an open stop - it's minutes off the N1. It's neat and the owners make an awful lot of effort to make it special. We will definitely stay over again.
Fox Den met all our needs. The children had fun playing on the green lawn and playground. The customer service was exceptional! We will stay there again.
Was very nice, will definitely stay there again.
The accommodation was comfortable. We had a great time relaxing and sleeping peacefully under the Free State's stars.
We were kindly received in a neat place.
Room was not one we booked but a better one.
We spent the night half way home. Well located.
See stars.
We had a great stay at Fox Den, the service was very good, we had to check in late and we were very nice and quickly helped with an option to collect the key ourselves. Thank you very much. Enjoy the sleepover!
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful with assistance on fan issue.
The units are clean, well-equipped, comfortable and ideal for an overnight stay.
Great stay, thank you. Very clean and tidy. Everything one needs. The muffins and juices were delicious! Thank you for a nice place to stay overnight.
Very disappointed in the response when I phoned the next day to say I'd left my expensive moisturiser cream behind in the room. I feel more should have been done to recover it (or more concern shown, anyway) I know it was my own fault, but still. Customer service?
There is no reason not to see Fox Den as an overnight stop. Everything is in place.
Friendly reception. Can only inform guests about parking and how to get out early in the morning. We had to struggle for half an hour to get someone to open the gate when we wanted to drive early in the morning. No remote was given with keys.
Only one electric blanket. Made me furious - especially after hostess proudly announced all beds had electric blankets. It was freezing. Shower was a disaster: shower head squirted water up. Shower leaked onto floor. No ice in the freezer.
The owners were very friendly upon our arrival. The accommodation was very comfortable and there was even a yoghurt and a muffin in the fridge!
Had a wonderful sleep, swam, visited and watched TV. Even breakfast in the fridge for the next morning! Thank you very much, we will definitely come again!
We were kindly received. The places were private, clean and everything we needed was there. Will definitely visit again.
We found, it's not wheelchair friendly at all.
Sensible and practical overnight accommodation units halfway between Cape and Gauteng.
The hosts were excellent, the place was neat and clean.
I would stay here again.
Friendly hostess! Clean, neat.
Very cute and safe place. Other places can learn a thing or two from Mari. Even though it is a self-catering unit, there were 3 different breakfast cereals, yogurt, juices, muffins and milk provided. Much more than we expected.
Quiet peaceful environment. Wonderfully spacious and clean. Will definitely stay again.
Good place to spend the night.
The breakfast goodies were a surprise and very welcome.
The edits to Fox Den are accurate. Friendly reception.
Being near to the N1 makes it a good place to overnight between Cape Town and Johannesburg.
Fully equipped overnight accommodation. Friendly service and adequate facilities.
Excellent value especially the eats which was very welcome.
Will stay here again.
We needed a stop over for our trip back to Gauteng and even got our dates wrong and the Owner was very helpful by organising us a room to fit all of us, a few days before!
We spent the night from Gqberha to Gauteng. It is basically half way and the guest house has a good location. Safe place to sleep with secure parking. Friendly staff. Will definitely use again.
It was nice and quiet and we enjoyed it.
Generous hospitality. The room was great but the provision of milk, rusks, cereal etc. gave a feeling of being cared for.
Arrived before nine in the evening. Was helped immediately. Delicious snacks and drinks in the fridge.
Maria kind help. Helped unpack and pack back into the car. Only the bed is very high. With a step brought by our guest wife we were able to climb up. Our older generation is shrinking and getting shorter.
What an undiscovered gem. Beautiful clean and tidy accommodation in a grassy garden and surroundings. Friendly hostess and warm welcome. We will definitely spend the night there again.
Thanks for all the extras in the fridge. Everything you need you can think of. We had a wonderful rest. Thank you Mary.

Good place to stay overnight, peaceful and quiet.
Cute place for an overnight stop. Delicious treats, muffins and yogurt in the fridge. Well equipped to make your own food or of course you can visit Affi Farm, brilliant service, delicious food.
Comfortable units on the side of town.
Had a great night at Fox Den. Well equipped, felt very safe. Will stay there again in the future.
It has a peaceful atmosphere.
Very nice place to spend the night with spacious, tidy rooms and warm host and wife. Can recommend with confidence.
Good value for money with friendly service from the owner Mari in a quiet country village.
Nice room, easy to find with help from the owner, a good night's stay.
My workers really enjoyed spending the night at Fox Den.
Slept very well in this clean, comfortable space with all the basics provided. Enjoyed our walk around town and into the fields. Delicious braai pack arranged for us.
Very happy with the room we were given. Although the towels smelled a bit funny.
The hostess was also very friendly and hospitable. Thank you very much.
Peaceful atmosphere and everything you need for a night's sleep. I just missed WiFi.
It's definitely the perfect place to spend the night during a long trip.
Wonderful. Private and secure.
Fox Den offers good overnight accommodation in safe surroundings along the N1. The units are neat, practical and well equipped.
I would always recommend the Fox Den Guest House to single travelers and families. Safe for children.
We've stayed here a few times over the years and find it comfortable and good value for money.
Good value for money.
Good beds, TV and outside patio. Friendly hosts and safe. Good parking as well.
Neat, clean and cozy.
Very neat. Mari very friendly and considerate. We would love to spend the night there!
Everything was perfect. The silence was the best.
The accommodation was as per advertised. Good rate for overnight stay and a friendly restaurant in town.
Was particularly impressed with the continental breakfast in our cottage. Big surprise.
Thank you, we slept well.
Everything was fine, but unfortunately they don't make any provision for loadshedding. If we hadn't had our own lamps with us, we would have sat in the dark all night.
Fox Den is neat, clean and cheap accommodation. The accommodation itself for a family of 4 was ok (3 stars). However, one small bathroom accessed through the master bedroom is a bit of a challenge and we were glad we only stayed the night. The TV is also a very old cheap TV, so even if it stands there it means nothing. Fox Den is for cheap sleep and then ride, nothing more than that.
Love town, location good.
See stars.
We often stop over at Foxden. Always a good experience. Hands down the best guest house of many we have visited.
Easy to get there. Everything you need for overnight and early morning.
People were very friendly. Very neat and clean.
The website is on the ball.
Trompsburg is almost exactly halfway between Pretoria and Port Elizabeth (the route we traveled) so for us the location was ideal. Didn't know what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised with the unit where we spent the night. It is well appointed and clean with a nice shower and hot water. The breakfast treat in the fridge was also an extra plus. Will visit them again.
The garden is well looked after but the unit needs a lot of attention in terms of cleanliness, unfortunately pictures don't show it to you! Will not stay there again. It's not for us.
See stars.
We found Fox Den easily. Secure parking. Neat accommodation. Will stay there again.
Neat place to stay.
We arrived at Fox Den late in the evening. Friendly welcome, slept well and rested to take on the long road ahead. Would definitely recommend.
We literally just overslept but everything was neat and clean, thank you.
Was more than I expected, thank you.
I would recommend Fox Den Guest House to anyone looking to stay overnight.
The owner welcomed us at the gate, was very friendly.
Safe and secure overnight accommodation. Vehicle parking under shade, parking for trailers as well. Hosts are very friendly and makes sure all is in order. electric blankets provided for cold nights, fans for hot days. Braai facilities available and basic breakfast provided (yoghurt, juice, cereal, muffins, milk). Tea/coffee provided in room. Many regular visitors known to the host so environment is warm and friendly.
Great quiet and peaceful accommodation.
Nice sleepover at Fox Den. Everything was there that was needed and just a lot of nice extras. Will stay there again.
Our 4th time staying there and for sure every time it is our first choice for a place to stay.
I've been going there for 7 years, people are always friendly, can really recommend them.
We really enjoyed our time.
Hostess very helpful and went out of her way to move us to a quieter unit after a large group of people also checked in unexpectedly.
It was nice to stay with them.
The rooms were clean and tidy and well equipped. The reception friendly and professional. We really appreciated the breakfast muffins and yogurt.
Thanks for everything. The muffins, yogurt, juice and porridge were a great surprise. We will see you again and can definitely recommend.
The unit is well maintained and clean. We had a wonderful overnight stay.
Have stayed there often. Conveniently located between Gauteng and the Cape. Always a friendly welcome. Well equipped and supplied. Facilities excellent. Of all the guest houses we have used, this no. 1.
Nicely grilled with the braai package that was arranged.
Excellent service, clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend this guest house for an overnight stay.
This was our fourth or fifth time staying here. Neat, clean and well equipped for self-catering. Garden is neat with nice lawns. Secure parking. Friendly reception by Mari. Small bit of criticism: it would have been nice if our unit (no. 8) had garden chairs so we could sit outside. But I believe it would have been available if we had asked.
Such a lovely little spot. Great little garden and jungle gym for kids to stretch their legs after a long trip. The rooms are comfortable and well equipped for you to cook dinner or braai.
Secure parking. Neat rooms. Nice people.
It is peaceful and relaxing while the children use up their last energy on the play frames. Will see them again for sure!
We needed overnight accommodation at very short notice. We contacted Fox Den Guest House. We were received very hospitably and had a very peaceful night. The place was clean and fully equipped. Thank you very much for the wonderful overnight accommodation.
Friendly reception, very neat unit with everything you need. Will definitely book there again.
Only an overnight stop, but everything we needed was there.
We slept over in unit #2. Very neat and clean. Spacious and very comfortably furnished. Great night's rest after a long day on the road. Can recommend Fox Den with confidence.
Lovely and rural setting.
Good reception, private, quiet, well equipped for self-catering. Lovely quiet area.
Friendly service. Very easily accessible! Lovely cat.
Nice and affordable place to stay.
Very comfortable self-catering unit that meets all expectations. Hospitable people in a peaceful environment.
Fox Den is excellent value for money and exceptionally clean and tidy. Can definitely recommend. A little storage space in the bathroom for bath bags will help make the stay even more pleasant.
We were well received by the owners and they make sure that you are happy. Als works and the rooms are practical. Beds may just need a new mattress. But the rest of the places are very neat and safe.
The visitors we shared the outside area with were well behaved and friendly. The layout of the outside area definitely contributed to the atmosphere and good vibes.
Room beautiful and clean. Fast service and all promises were kept. All that a traveler expects. Clean room, shower with hot and strong water. Coffee, biscuits and breakfast food (cereal).
Shower head is fine and shower is not too small. Everything you need is in the chalet. Had a nice time.
Lovely stay in the neat unit. Owners very friendly and hospitable.
Clean tidy and comfortable and safe.
For travelers who have been driving all day and looking for a good night's rest, you don't want to hear the neighbors' dog barking at your bedroom window and a firmer mattress can definitely be recommended.
Fox Den met our expectations!
Clean and neat and pet friendly. An outside table and new towels would be nice.
Trompsburg has a tranquility found in most Karoo villages - and we certainly found it at Fox Den. The rooms are spacious and tidy. We were two big people, with two children and two dogs. There was enough spacious lawn for our dogs to stretch their legs, as well as a playground where our children could stretch their legs too! The room had one double bed with two single beds in one large room - which also included a kitchen. The bathroom was separate with a shower - which thankfully had a strong hot water flow. The site was quiet during the night - which is a plus if you don't want to stay too far from the N1. Mari was very helpful in pointing out places to eat where we could order takeaway dinners - we couldn't really go out because of the dogs with us. Affi Plaas has a delicious menu with large portions of meals! We had their spare ribs and chicken salad - delicious. If I really had to point out a few things in our room: Our double bed was very 'soft' or old and made a tremendous noise when you turn over on the bed - maybe time for a new mattress. The bathroom also just needs an extra little table to put your bathroom bag on, four people with a bathroom bag each want a place. Other than that I think Fox Den was really worth it - good value for money.
The hostess makes an effort to make the unit feel homely and there is everything you need for a stopover - even with small children. Clean and tidy.
Acceptable to stay there for a day or 2.
Comfortable, clean, tidy, just a little cramped. Very small TV.
It was perfect as we were on our way home and needed a pit-stop. Close to the highway, room was perfect for the night and parking was very secure. We were met with a warm smile.
Quiet, clean, tidy. Would definitely recommend.
Everything was clean and tidy. Friendly reception.
Old flickering TV, couldn't even watch. They should not advertise there is a TV and DStv if their TV is 20 years old and actually not usable. Sink in bathroom spout was full of hair.
Had a very friendly reception and had a nice barbecue and slept.
The only recommendation is that the owners may consider installing an air conditioner in the hot rooms!
Lovely, comfortable accommodation. Fans in every room were a relief in the heat. There were snacks and drinks in the fridge. This is an absolute bonus.
Very neat and clean. Friendly welcome. Exactly what I expect and need as a place to sleep.
Places always neat and clean. Always a friendly welcome.
Very neat and comfortable rooms.
Very friendly and well equipped.
Quiet, clean, comfortable, friendly owner, Affiplaas nice place to eat and visit.
Clean and tidy and safe parking.
Quiet village to stay. Place to stay clean and so beautiful. Have a great time outside under the shade trees. Hostess very friendly. I would definitely recommend the place.
Quiet and well equipped. Will definitely stay there again Value for money. A gem in such a small town. Thank you for sharing the peaceful place with us. Private and everything you want after a long drive.
Clean neat and tidy. The extras placed in the kitchen, fridge (tea, coffee, biscuits, yoghurt, cereals etc.) was totally unexpected and appreciated. A bit cool at night for those not used to the Free State weather, for any travelers staying overnight at Fox Den. Unless you arrive early during the week come prepared with something to eat. Most of the shops close early.
Hospitably received, well equipped, everything we needed. Appreciated breakfast items and milk.
Very neat and friendly welcome. The complimentary breakfast was delicious.
Very quiet and neat. Wonderful to spend the night there.
We only stayed overnight on our way to Cape Town. Everything was very neat and we were warmly received. Thank you very much!
A lovely B&B. Relaxing, comfortable and peaceful. Mari is a friendly and lovely host. I would definitely recommend the lovely stopover.
Spacious clean cute.
For winter, room temperature is 100%, but not for severe heat.
Excellent value for money!
Thank you very much for your hospitality. Lots of cute places to stay overnight, everything you need. My children really enjoyed the pool.
I was honestly pleasantly surprised by Fox Den Guest House. It is really neatly furnished accommodation and has everything that may be required for an overnight stay. Mari is a very friendly person who immediately made us feel at home. Thank you very much for the wonderful overnight stay.
This is the perfect overnight stop from the Cape to Johannesburg.
I will stay there again every time I get the chance. This is one of the best places we have stayed, all were very impressed by Fox Den's cleanliness and the peaceful village. Thank you very much for the wonderful evening of rest.
It was great to make the pit stop in Trompsburg. The unit was tidy and had good facilities.
Nice sleep over and clean.
Room was spacious, clean and well equipped. Washing facilities were adequate. Five people stayed comfortably for one night. Will stay there again.
Friendly people and good halfway house from the Western Cape. We are happy to recommend it. Definitely good value for money and the roof fan helps a lot in the hot weather.
Fox Den Guest House is well-situated and halfway between Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth, therefore ideal for an overnight stay. Keep up the good work.
Very peaceful and beautiful.
Was very tired. Had a great rest. It will help if they have a small suitcase table.
Place was nice and clean.
Friendly welcome and immediately felt at home.
Very practical. It was really lovely to find muffins and sweets. Very quiet place. We had a nice rest. My son was disappointed by the tiny TV screen and the lack of Wi-Fi.
Simple, clean and neat.
The room was beautiful and spaciously equipped with delicious breakfast snacks. It is very close to the restaurants in town. Walking distance. The gravel pebbles in the parking lot are just very uncomfortable for motorcycle parking. We had to park the motorcycle directly across the room on cement. Where other guests also have to walk.
Very quiet town, make sure your planning is before 5h00.
We were very surprised at all that you get for your money for the price you pay! They really look after their guests.
The good: Mari is very friendly and gave me a contact number of Marlene who vouches for them. Marlene was very friendly and accommodating, she also waited for us even though we were a little late. There was yogurt, juices, muffins and milk in the fridge, as well as 4 different options of breakfast cereals. The bad: Our place was dirty. There were dirty footprints on the floor, the mirror in the bathroom had not been wiped for a long time, and the room with the 2 single beds' linen was dirty. The double bed is so hard, the floor might have been more comfortable; and the noise the bed makes every time you turn over is even worse!
See stars.
Our departure from home was delayed and it poured with rain as we travelled through the Free State. We only arrived at Fox Den close to midnight. Marie maintained telephonic contact with us, gave us directions and was waiting for us with a big smile when we arrived. The location is excellent and secure and the rooms were clean and well equipped. Oor only criticism is concerning the quality of the coffee provided. Is there any chance of something better than Ricoffy?
We really enjoyed our overnight stay at Fox Den Guest House. There was even a playground for the children and a nice big green lawn. Would really recommend Fox Den Guest House.
The place was very neat and clean. The smallest details have been taken care of. The owners are friendly. It was just great! I really recommend Fox Den Guest House to anyone traveling from the Cape back to Pretoria.
Very neat accommodation ideal for an overnight visit. Very well appointed and value for money. Owners friendly and very helpful. Will definitely recommend them to others.
The units are in good condition and well equipped with all the basics. Mari was excellent in communicating prior to arrival and during our stay. Little touches like tea, coffee, cereal, muffins, yogurt and milk were much appreciated. Well done Mari and family!
You can look at replacing the beds. Other than that it was magic.
This was our 6th stay at Fox Den. Over the years they have sustained a high degree of quality accommodation and friendly, generous hospitality. It is our favourite stay over!
We always stop here on our way to the Cape. It's perfectly located and always nice. Hostess very friendly and rooms very comfortable.
Friendly reception, unit very neat, spacious and very well equipped. Hostess goes out of her way to make it very convenient. Will recommend the place anytime and will definitely stay there again.
People are friendly and place is quiet.
Friendly reception. Neat and clean and good value for money. Will definitely stay at Fox Den again.
We were kindly received by Mari. The sleeping place was neat and clean. Various items for breakfast in the fridge. The bed and pillows met our requirements. Nice stay and have already recommended it.
The accommodation was top quality. The units provide everything you need including breakfast cereals and fruit juices. Price is very reasonable. Will definitely stay here again overnight.
Thank you very much for your stay. It was very tasty, as was the breakfast.
Everything that was needed for an overnight stay with good braai facilities and sufficient privacy and safe parking. Prices fair and reception friendly.
Close to the N1, good value for money, friendly reception. Neat with complimentary breakfast porridge, coffee/tea and biscuits.
Good bed, nice shower, hospitable. Excellent value for money, clean, tidy, friendly. Pets were allowed. 5 stars from me! Thank you very much!
After a long journey, the guesthouse exceeded all expectations! I will definitely stay here again and recommend it. Rooms are large, kitchen well equipped and plenty of hot water! My car had undercover parking on site where I could keep an eye on it from my room.
The beds slept well and there was no need to use the electric blanket. With all the equipment on the table, cooking space will be limited for a family. A few hooks for kitchen cloths will help a lot. Sorry about the curtain that I just completely pulled open from its rail.
Everything one needs. The hostess is kind and friendly. We have stayed here before and it was very nice again.
The owner was friendly and stayed in contact with us about where we are (we arrived late at night). Very convenient location, close to the N1.
It's not the first time I've stayed here. Everything went smoothly and the refreshments for a light breakfast, as part of the package for self-catering, are a lovely bonus.
Top notch accommodation! The whole unit is very comfortable with everything a traveler needs. The rooms are clean and very tidy. Finally a TV with a huge selection of channels. Would definitely want to stay there again.
I can honestly say that Fox Den offers the best service. Reception was handled very well. We easily found the place. Place is also very neat.
The service, units and friendliness are just superb. The units are clean and comfortable. What more do you want.
We come back every time. This is where we rest after a long drive from the Western Cape on our way north. After our third time at Fox Den, will go again for sure. Marie is a star hostess.
We had a great time, we just had a problem with the water pump that made a noise all night and the taps in the unit at the sink in the bathroom in unit 11 which was completely detached which was difficult to open and close . We will visit Fox Den again, the area is peaceful and friendly.
Fox Den is an ideal place to stay in the Southern Free State. Neat! Excellent hostess. I realise this will be an expensive exercise, but air conditioning will be great in the heat we have experienced. The roof fan above the bed was a bit of a life saver. We will definitely make use of Fox Den - maybe just in a cooler time of the year.
Very neat and friendly.
Friendly help with changes as well as with our arrival! Beautiful clean and tidy facilities with covered and secure parking!
We booked 2 units in December. It is clear that thought has been given to every need that a traveler booking self-catering might need. extras in the fridge, menus, treats and more were just the icing on the cake. A good bed ensures a good night's rest. At a glance - good service, with very good organization made for a lovely stay.
Ontbyt van jogurt, muffins, ontbyt pap, melk en sap was voorsien, asook beskuit saam met oggend koffie. Ons het onvoorsiene motor probleme gehad en hulle was die heel middag in kontak met ons. Skoonmoeder het oornag siek geword en hulle het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons uit te help.
Ideal place to stop on the way. Friendly and neat. Nice garden to stretch your legs.
Safe accommodation with everything you need for one night's stay. Bathroom is very small, but still clean and neat.
The best accommodation after 5 days in the Cape.
We were received very friendly and professionally by Mari. The unit was clean and tidy. There was complimentary juice, yogurt, breakfast cereal and biscuits available - something we did not expect at all. The unit was more than spacious enough for our needs. There is secure parking, something that is important to me. The tranquility was a relief after the long road. We booked again the same evening for our return journey.
It's not our first visit, we are always spoiled. Clean, tidy, friendly and safe. Can refer with praise.
Definitely recommend! No unnecessary frills and eye-popping. Mari makes an effort, is friendly, competent and helpful. If you require simple quality, and want to sleep over, this is the right place!
Good accommodation with all necessary amenities. The fridge was loaded with fruit juice milk and muffins for us. There was also coffee tea sugar etc. Everything neat and for the price really good.
The place is very clean, tidy and well furnished.
Very happy to have stayed at Fox Den. Nice quiet little town and accommodation perfect for the overnight stay with everything that was needed. Light breakfast great not to have to worry about bringing food.
We were warmly welcomed and the facilities were in good shape. The toilet seat was broken, but the advice we received about where we could get, was good.
I stayed here for one night on my way from Johannesburg to the Cape. The town itself is pretty ugly and there are very few eating options available so best to take some food with you. The accommodation was really god however. The room I was in can sleep up to 5 people, has a small kitchen with microwave, grill and oven, fridge/freezer, cutlery, cups and plates. The best thing was that the owner had put a small selection of breakfast cereals, some milk, fruit juice, butter, jam, muffins, tea and coffee in the room at no extra charge. The place is very quiet being at the edge of town next to the veld and I had a good, untroubled sleep there. Would definitely stay here again.
Clean and convenient stop over. Very welcoming and most efficient hostess. The water pressure was very, very low.
Self-catering unit which is fully equipped and ideal place to sleep over. Mari is very friendly and helpful.
We will definitely be back. Mari's efforts and treats were very special for our family. We felt safe and the units are neat and clean.
Kind reception, comfortable bed and had all the necessities in the kitchen. Breakfast was a bonus!
We had to inform them that we couldn't make it to 9pm on time, but they still welcomed us.
Perfect overnight stop between Nelspruit and Cape Town. More than I expected and we are very grateful to be able to arrive at such a place after a long journey.
Neat, clean overnight accommodation with friendly owners.
Will stay there again. Thank you for the hospitality.
Accommodation is just right for an overnight stop on the way to the Cape.
Fox Den is managed professionally but with personal service and country hospitality. Will definitely stay there again.
Enjoyed our short stay, nothing was too much trouble for our host.
Nice barbecue area and lawns.
Severe power problems and it wasn't load shedding's fault. The management didn't even come to offer boiling water in the morning, so at least I could drink coffee before I left. They shone in their absence. There away without wet or dry on my lips! Absolutely unacceptable. Shame! I'm not going to break down further about the condition of the bathroom, etc. no, because I will never sleep there again.
Mari and her family went out of their way to help all the overnight travelers while the power was blown out by the weather. Hot water is supplied in hot bottles for a cup of hot tea and lamps and gas plates are provided. Mobile phone chargers that we forgot were sent by Mari by courier. We will definitely stay here again.
The welcoming was very friendly. The rooms are clean and the place is very neat. Will use this place again and also recommend to family and friends.
Everything was ready upon our arrival and we were wonderfully relaxed and rested after a long day.
Neat and clean. One feels at home and rests properly.
Had a wonderful stay. Will definitely use your hospitality again in the future. Thank you!
We were kindly received and quickly and effectively referred to our unit. Not only is provision made for breakfast with biscuits, breakfast cereal and yoghurt, but also a chocolate muffin and a delicious pack of mixed cookies with Christmas greetings on them. The unit was comfortably furnished and the bed lovely to sleep on. The shampoo, body wash soap and hand soap made us feel completely pampered in the delicious grapefruit citrus scent! We will definitely stay here again!
Mari really made an effort to accommodate us.
Friendly welcome with lovely units. Well equipped and value for money.
Thank you very much for your hospitality, Mari. The meat parcels you arranged for us were really fantastically delicious! We rested so well and the kids were able to play with the other kids who also stayed the night! Would definitely recommend!
We really enjoyed Fox Den..
Now after the 4th stay it almost feels like coming home.
Good value for money, friendly service and very pleasant.
Fox Den Guest House borders farmland and is therefore located in a quiet and peaceful environment. It's neat and clean with all necessary amenities. We really enjoyed our stay.
We have stayed here many times and will always stop here again. It's a lovely place and you always feel at home. There is a beautiful garden where you can sit outside and barbecue yourself if you want. The rooms are very nice and the beds sleep like a dream. The rooms are very well furnished, everything is there that you need to spend even a week there. They will surely see us again.
Very friendly and helpful service. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place to rest after a long journey. Perfectly located in the middle between PE and JHB. The complimentary breakfast was perfect for an early morning before we hit the road again. Very comfortable accommodation and go the extra mile for their customers.
It is a good half-way stop between Worcester and the Wildtuin.
It was a lovely evening. Definite value for money.
A must for any traveler who needs accommodation in Trompsburg. The self-catering cottage can sleep 5 people. It's clean and very comfortable. The hostess is friendly. And the bonus was the breakfast she left for us in the fridge, including muffins, yogurt, juice and breakfast porridge. I would stay there again anytime.
A very pleasant experience to spend the night here on the N1.
Fox den is close to a highway and has a great location. Units are spacious, clean and well equipped. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
We had a great stay and the accommodation was clean, tidy and attention to small details is always welcome and a warm welcome.
All we can say is that we will be staying there again when on the N1.
We definitely recommend it. The accommodation is very clean and neat and the hosts were so friendly. Good value for money.
Got there at 5 o'clock they let us confirm during the trip what time they can expect us. Was really very peaceful and just perfect to rest until we had to drive again early the next morning. Place was neat and clean and they have everything you need for self catering and more.
We felt very welcome at Fox Den. The guest rooms are very neat and clean. Everything you need to make your own food is available here. There is no air conditioning in the rooms, but each room had a fan.
The guesthouse owners made us feel very welcome with freshly baked muffins, yogurt and juice. The unit was very tidy and the children could play outside on the climbing frame.
The fox den was perfect for our sleep over back to Johannesburg. Quiet with lovely gardens and secure parking.
Fox Den was just what we needed - a delightful hostess, a lovely clean room and peace and quiet!
At short notice we were so impressed and surprised. Thank you very much for a wonderful night's rest!
The accommodation was very neat and the owners very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it.
This was our second visit to Fox Den and have been very satisfied every time with the stay here, will return again anytime.
The Fox Den has everything that you need and is clean. We enjoyed our night here.
The accommodation was very clean and tidy. We had a very nice stay for an evening on our way to the Cape. Thank you!
We enjoyed our overnight stay and will definitely stay there again. We were warmly welcomed and found the room comfortable and equipped with the necessary items. Some minor maintenance was needed in the bathroom area but it did not detract from our stay.
It was peaceful. I was glad that there were electric blankets, it's a must for the winter. Place was neat and clean. Thanks a lot.
Very nice and well furnished. The children had a great time playing on the climbing frame. Will stay there again for sure!
We couldn't find anywhere to sleep between Plett and Pretoria and booked Fox Den at the last minute. It's very conveniently close from the N1 and the reception was warm and friendly. Nice clean comfortable rooms. Upon our late arrival, they also went out of their way to call the owner of Oppi Plaas restaurant and let him know to stay open for us to have something to eat after the long drive. The people are friendly and very helpful with good service. Thank you Fox Den for a comfortable overnight stay.
The owners went out of their way to meet everyone's needs as far as possible during a fierce thunderstorm that left the entire town without power and the units without water. We really appreciated it. We will definitely come again.
Very good and friendly service. Very neat and comfortable. Will definitely stay there again.
We were really surprised. We did not expect such a cute little place in such a lesser known village.
Marie was very helpful in organizing a barbecue for my husband's birthday! She also gave us a lovely little house.
Can definitely recommend Foxden to anyone looking for a place to stay on the long road between the Cape or PE and Johannesburg. The units are neat and clean with everything you need for an overnight stop. There is enough space and play area outside for small children and even facilities for barbecuing. It's less than 2 km from the highway and very easy to get back on the road early in the day. We will definitely be staying at Foxden again in the future.
There is a definite ant problem. Would suggest they get people in to fix the problem. Was very impressed with the snacks that were provided eg fruit juice, breakfast cereal and milk. Would also like to receive a bottle of water.
Not necessarily a travel destination, but great to experience a small town in South Africa and perfectly situated for a half-way stop between Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth. Great skies too!
Room was large and well appointed. Attention can definitely be given to mattresses.
Fox Den Guest House gave us a friendly welcome. Got a surprise in the fridge for breakfast which was very welcome. Accommodation was comfortable and well equipped. Slept wonderfully in the silence. Would stay there again anytime.
The place has everything you need for an overnight stay. The warm blankets helped for the cold. Thank you so much for the surprise in the fridge - juice, yogurt, muffins, milk, butter as well as cereal and muesli at no extra cost!
Definitely recommend overnight facility. Complimentary breakfast (muesli, juice, yogurt, etc.) a welcome bonus. Parking with trailer a bit awkward to get out. Other guest moved his car to help. Will definitely stay there again.
Did not feel safe to sit outside in the garden in the evening. I live in the city and sitting outside when I go to the countryside is wonderful for me. The fences are a bit low and the locks on the gates are not very strong.
Was pleasantly surprised, very clean and peaceful place. Children enjoyed it and nice place to eat nearby.
Fox Den Guest House is quite the oasis in a town that is really very run down.
I would recommend the Fox Den when staying in Trompsburg. We have stayed there before. The owner was very obliging to change our booking to a day later. The place is very well sign posted and breakfast is ready in the fridge for the morning. It's also located just off the highway Johannesburg/Cape Town.
Fox Den Guest House offers value for money as an overnight accommodation destination in Trompsburg.
The hostess was very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast foods in the fridge were also very welcome.
The silence was an experience! All that bothered me was that the beds were a bit hard and the water pressure in the shower low, but I would still recommend it.
The shower does not have a soap dish or rack.
The place needs someone to look at a few things with a critical eye. Shower is not clean. Shower head tackled with lime. Both the soap bottle and cream's container stoppers broken. Trash can had no lid. TV is poor quality and was not tuned properly.
Establishment advertises that breakfast (not described) is included in rate. What was actually provided was indeed substandard.
While the owners have gone out of their way to make this as comfortable as possible, I can't see us stopping at Trompsburg again. The Town is extremely run down.
Fox Den Guest House is perfectly located and so comfortable! We can recommend it 100%.
My doggies felt most welcome at Fox Den. We loved the handy braai pack available, will definitely be back.
We had a great rest after a long journey. The rooms are very well equipped with everything needed. Thank you very much Mari for your effort with the delicious meat packages, we had a delicious barbecue. Would recommend Fox Den for sure.
What a surprise with the extra treat of muffins and yogurt!
We made our way down to Still Bay on 21 Dec 2017 and have to say Fox Den was a pleasant surprise. I recommend it and will possibly make Fox Den my home again for an overnight stop.
Good overnight accommodation in the Free State, will continue there again.
It almost felt like our vacation had just started there.
Ons het twee kamers bespreek, want ons was 7 mense. Beide plekke was skoon en netjies. Mari se gasvryheid was fantasies. Definitief word aanbeveel.
Fox Den was neat and clean and good value for money, will visit again for sure.
We have stayed at Fox Den 5 times over an eight year period. The standard of comfortable, clean and homely accommodation has remained consistently high. Mari is warm and welcoming and the little extras like a Christmas gift of biscuits, cereal and rusks with the coffee and tea make this feel like a real "home away from home". It is the perfect stop over or base from which to explore the surrounding area over a few days. Would I recommend Fox Den to others? Yes x 100!
The gentleman loved the accommodation. They said out of all the guest houses that they have stayed is Fox Den the best.
This little place is another gem to remember for the future. Such places do justice to your business.
The service was excellent, we had a great rest and breakfast was good.
Hostess went out of her way to make our special request for freezer facilities available. Directions were clear, peaceful environment, secure parking, in summary it was a positive experience.
It was very comfortable, you just feel at home.
Everything you need for an overnight stop. The light breakfast in the fridge with cereal works well. Owner offers good value for money.
Excellent service and friendliness, very clean and well-equipped at an affordable price. Don't know how they can operate it at such a cheap price. Will definitely stay there again.
The reception and service was excellent. Will stay there again.
The service was friendly and the accommodation comfortable.
We had a lovely stay in Fox Den Guest House. The beds are of good quality and the linen clean and nice and warm in the cold winter. There is everything you need. A delicious complimentary breakfast is also available if one would like to enjoy it. Mari was very friendly and hospitable. It was also a bonus that our car could be safely in the yard behind a locking gate. Will use Fox Den again.
Always have a good time there and it's peaceful there.
We had a very pleasant stay at Fox Den. The rooms is clean and neat. The linen was nice with hot blankets. The kids could even give the little lambs milk!
It's very neat and modern and clean, friendly reception, safe parking, friendly cat that visits. Something to eat, even pizzas, available at the Bakhuis down the street. Nice quiet environment. Feel free to drive the old tarmac over Philippolis to Colesberg and avoid the trucks on the N1. I will definitely stay there again.
Lovely warm bed due to electric blanket. Secure parking. Nice quiet neighborhood. Very neat.
Excellent overnight accommodation.
The room was an absolute bargain, comfortable and roomy and we felt that our vehicle was safely parked outside.
Very tranquil environment. Clean, neat and safe. Were able to braai and sit outside and relax. Will definitely stay there again. Ideal for when you travel from Cape Town.
Excellent hospitality, neat and clean, safe, was relaxing. Thank you for the braai packs that you arranged for us. Rusks, fresh milk, delicious coffee, variety of teas, etc. Thank you very much, I would definitely like to stay here again.
Friendly reception and very helpful. Rooms very neat and very well equipped. Will definitely recommend it.
Stunning place and well equipped. Will definitely be back.
Very neat, tastefully equipped unit. We had a great stay with delicious breakfast. Will definitely be back.
See star rating.
Neat overnight place for overnight between Gauteng and Cape.
Had a great time relaxing after a long day of driving. Very quiet and peaceful. Great service received. The fruit juice and muffins for breakfast were a nice surprise. Air cooling would be a bonus.
Will definitely stay again. Everything was clean and tidy.
I come again, very pleasant.
Very friendly reception. Well equipped facilities. Suitable for overnight as well as longer stays. Quiet, safe environment.
It was the second time we stayed over at Fox Den. Everything was clean and in place when we arrived. We will stay over here again in the future.
For tired travellers it suited our needs perfectly. The continental breakfast was welcome.
Great overnight stay. The owner can maybe get a bigger freezer where guests can keep their frozen meat for the night.
Comfortable stay, Mari and Louis-Chris were incredibly helpful and even lent us their personal braai for the evening! Instead, stop in Bloem or Colesberg for your meat, the butcher's shop at Trompsburg is nothing short of amazing. But the accommodation at Fox Den is fantastic.
It is a neat and clean guest house, with all the facilities you need for a night's sleep. Nice spacious rooms with sufficient parking. We will definitely stay there again when needed.
Good value for money, Friendly service, hospitable. Delicious breakfast.
We had a nice stay and the place is nice and clean and according to our expectations.
The TV in the room is just a bit small. Difficulty seeing clearly. Furthermore, I have already mentioned everything I wanted to in the summary.
Trompsburg was the distance we planned to travel. Accommodation was spacious and peaceful.
Real countryside hospitality and neat unit.
Easy access from N1. Neat, private and quiet. Good room and bedding. Good location for trips to Cape Town or PE area.
Fox Den management might consider equipping some of the rooms with cooling and offering it as an option, because in the summer months it is hot in the area. Otherwise, it remains one of the best places to stay overnight in the area.
The place was perfect for a one night sleepover. =Clean and neat. They even gave us extra items for breakfast even though it is a self service place.
Fox Den Guest House has been my regular sleeping place between Gauteng and the Cape for many years now. I always get: A friendly welcome, clean and comfortable accommodation, safe surroundings, and best of all, a nice, quiet night's rest. Would definitely recommend it.
Halfway stop between Cape Town and Pretoria. Neat and clean and everything you need is there for an overnight stay. Parking very close to the accommodation and safe. On arrival at reception we were quickly taken to our accommodation.
For the purpose of a stopover on the way to the Cape, it was fine. It's a very small town and, if the kids are looking for something to do in the evening, they're probably going to be disappointed. However, it was very nice and peaceful, quiet and safe.
Same as above! Very peaceful and we had a wonderful rest!
See star rating.
Pleasant accommodation for tired travellers. We felt very welcome at Fox Den. Braai packs were delicious (optional). Breakfast cereal and coffee were included with milk.
There was enough space and it was neat. The bathrooms might be a bit small, but I could live with that. It was close to the N1, so we could hit the road again the next morning soon.
The place is well equipped and is neat and clean. We could sleep well. It is a peaceful setting in a small town.
Everything you need for an overnight stay is available.
What a find! Will definitely stay there again! Clean and friendly.
We were received very kindly and were simply placed in a larger room simply because there was one available. The room has everything you need, it is tidy and the continental breakfast was fresh and just perfect to quench your hunger until the next stop. We would love to visit Fox Den again. Thank you Mary!
Everything worked just great. We had to change our booking at number 99, and both Lekkeslaap and Fox Den were incredibly friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend, and will visit again myself.
Welcoming reception by Mari, safe parking and the unit is stunning, neat and well appointed. Excellent value for money. We will definitely go stay there again and recommend Fox Den!
Very nice chalet, well equipped, clean. Even had Kyknet on the TV bouquet.
We were very impressed with the quality of the guest house when you keep in mind that Trompsburg is a very small rural town. We can definitely highly recommend this guest house.
Friendly service, excellent value for money. Personal contact ahead of time. No other accommodation establishment has done this!
Reception was friendly. The house was neat and clean with everything you need. The breakfast is a bonus if you want to hit the road again early.
Neat and beautiful. Very calm. Safe and designed for small children. Definitely recommendable.
Thank you very much! We had a lovely stay in Fox Den Guest House. We were four adults staying in one unit. The unit was cozy and tidy. Bathroom was clean. And we got delicious muffins and juices as "take away" breakfast.
Will stay there again, ideal after a long journey.
Pleasant stay. Friendly hostess. Neat and very tasteful room. Clean. We could relax and barbecue, keep beer and wine cold in the fridge and sleep in silence.
We had a very nice stay. Unit very neat.
Lovely clean little cottages. Nice beds and bedding. Everything you need after a long day on the road.
Thank you very much! We really enjoyed it! Would recommend to anyone. Breakfast excellent!
Neat, spacious and safe unit with everything you need for an overnight stay, a week or month. Our friendly and helpful hostess left us some cool drinks, yogurt, tea and milk for breakfast and also arranged a lamb pack to braai. Lovely night's rest and we were ready again for the rest of our journey the following day.
Very good, Continental breakfast and everything.
We had a great time. The accommodation was top notch. Nice to walk into a clean and tidy place after a long day's drive. Would definitely recommend it. Value for money.
We arrived after 12:00 at night and were welcomed outside. The rooms are very well equipped, clean and tidy. We will definitely stay here again.
See rating.
Trompsburg is an interesting town. Will plan to enjoy a Karoo night next time with a braai for dinner at the self-catering unit.
Nicely positioned on the journey from Southern Cape to Johannesburg. Good, clean accommodation with some extra touches like breakfast and full DStv.
It was an ideal stop on the way on holiday. Unit neat and clean, all that was needed.
A warm breakfast would have been nice. A heater in the in the bedroom would have made the uncomfortable bed more bearable, but the location was very convenient and the prices were reasonable.
There was no fault with our room, suitably furnished for one night's accommodation. Breakfast preview was up to standard. Slept well. Reception and owners very warm and friendly.
See the stars.
It was excellent to spend the night here specifically. Just perfect to break the long journey to Jeffreys Bay. Early in the morning you wake up to the sounds of cattle, sheep and chickens from the neighboring farm. Wonderful to wake up like this. After a restful night we hit the road early to be in Jeffreys Bay just after lunch.
The unit was very neat and clean, but the facilities and supplies was insufficient. We had to call for soap to shower. The TV remote doesn't work. No coffee or tea. Freezer section of fridse is very small and there were no ice. (We had to buy some at the BP garage.)
The room was neat and clean.
I let the owner/managers know in advance what time my son and I would arrive and ordered barbecue suits. When we arrived at 19:00, our braai packs were frozen rock hard and no coal or wood to buy. We had to turn back to "town", but all the shops were already closed. Luckily managed at the garage. The guesthouse's dogs made themselves at home in our unit and even slept on our couch. On LekkeSlaap's website you mention "complimentary sherry". There wasn't even a bowl of ice in the fridge and definitely no sherry! Outside, Fox Den is very dimly lit. The beds and linen were of very good quality and we could also enjoy a nice hot shower. I warned that we had to leave at 05:00 in the morning and we were told that there was breakfast in the fridge that we could take with us. Yogurt (how do you eat it in the car without disposable plastic spoons?), muffins, butter and jam. We left it there. Value for money but customer service is lacking.
Value for money.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fox Den. The room is very neat, spacious and everything worked as it should. The service we received was very professional and friendly, we also ordered a braai pack, which is very good value for money. I would definitely recommend it to anyone and would definitely stay here again.
It was clean, tidy and well located. All that's missing is air conditioning. Other than that, there are no other comments.
Thank you for the overnight services. It was wonderful to think that after the long road you come to such a neat little place. We really recommend it.
Wonderful. Staying there on our way back to JHB.
Everything one wants. Many thanks to Fox for accommodating us, even letting us come in at 10.30pm after we were held up and couldn't make the 10.00pm time!
The reception was good from owners and service excellent. Our place was clean and tidy as well as well equipped.
Ideal, well-priced overnight accommodation close enough to the N1.
We gave Fox Den 5 stars because it really lacked nothing. It was bitterly cold, but with cozy bedding and electric blankets we were armed against the cold. Everything is very clean, tidy and efficient.
We spent the night on our way to Uniondale. The unit is beautiful and very tidy. Everything you need for an overnight stay is there.
It really is a place where one can sleep over on the way to the Cape. Hostess very friendly and helpful. We felt safe! Will definitely use them again.
The mattress is a bit soft but we had a nice stay.
Very neat, clean and good value for money. Double bed mattress was just done.
The unit has everything one needs for a peaceful overnight stay and it truly was like an oasis in the desert. I will stay here again for sure. It is a 5 minute drive from the N1 which makes it very convenient.
Recommended by a business friend. It was a small oasis on a very hot day, after a long drive. Nice and peaceful, and our hostess Mari was very friendly and accommodating.
See the stars.
Great. The owner gave just that extra attention with e.g. muffins, fruit juice, milk, etc. which made the stay extra pleasant.
Very neat and comfortable. Excellent value for money.
Good value for money and it's a very convenient and safe half way station - not too far from the motorway but still far enough so the motorway noise doesn't bother you!
See the stars.
Nice place to stay on the long road between Pretoria and the Cape. The accommodation was of a very good standard and the guest house is very well run. The breakfast in the fridge was just enough for a hungry stomach that had to get up early to drive on.
Fox den Guest House is a good choice for an overnight stay on the way to the Cape or back to Limpopo. The units are clean and well maintained. It is safe and quiet no traffic disturbance. Value for your money.
Very tight. Fridge hopelessly too small. Glasses insufficient - had to go shopping.
Neat and clean. Very good value for money.
Very neat and clean. Well equipped. Very quiet and peaceful.
If you feel like silence then you don't have to look any further! This place is perfect for an overnight stop. There is a pleasant bakery very close by where fresh bread, pies, fat cake, etc. can be bought. I would definitely stay here again.
Aircon will be a big plus in the rooms as we had difficulty sleeping at night in the summer.
We slept very well. Neat place with everything that was needed. Breakfast was nice and fast.
Great stay! Excellent for transit, town we found what less.
Unit was well appointed, clean and attractive, with all the amenities one could ask for in an overnight stop.
Suitable for overnight stay.
Environment does not feel too safe, the rooms and furniture are full of cat hair. They can pay more attention to cleaning the units decently before new guests check in. The place has a lot of potential.
Friendly reception, the residential units beautifully clean and tidy. Mari made us feel right at home. We had a great barbecue, she took care of fireware and barbecue packages. Yummy breakfast! I will definitely stay here again!
Friendly welcome by Mari. Room was very neat and well equipped.
Beautiful, comfortable rooms and wonderful hospitality.
Fox Den is very clean and we even got delicious home-baked cookies!
The accommodation is ideal for overnight stays. Bring something for dinner.
Extremely hospitable, beautiful, neat and comfortable!
Unfortunately, during our stay there was a drummer in the neighborhood who started playing at 9.30pm and periodically disturbed the rest until about 4am the next morning.
All our needs were catered for: packs of meat for a quiet barbecue, and a good breakfast already ready, so that we could hit the road again early in the morning. Everything one needs.
Everything was fine! The dust in the kitchen just needs a decent scrubbing and good cleaning! I can't believe that people who spend the night there and cook themselves can mess up someone's stove like that!
A big bonus was the fridge with milk, coffee, tea and muffins, as well as yogurt and cereal for a quick breakfast. Thank you so much, Mari, for a lovely sleepover, it suited us so well. We would love to stay with you again.
Please provide extra blankets. The side lamp was not working.
I have already recommended the place to many people especially those traveling from Gauteng.
We had a nice rest after a very long journey.
I would like to see them get DStv because it is quite a problem as there is nothing else to do. Other than that, everything is good for the price.
We only stayed overnight.
The DStv channels did not work, and the owner did not know how to fix it. The jam was sugary and stale. It made me wonder how old the cereal is, I didn't eat it. Slept well and felt very safe. Thank you for the hospitality. It was a perfect place to sleep over.
Under the beds it was terribly dirty. The coffee mugs have so many years of tacks on them - so close that I got jick and scratched them off. The goldilocks that were in the drying rack were still full of the leftovers from a pot (very creepy). The porridge containers, biscuit containers and salt jars have so many scratches that you can see they haven't been cleaned in a long time. It was just so creepy. The bedspreads are not washed, so you can see that they also have blood marks and dirt on them. Mattress cover was horribly wrinkled. We really enjoyed this stay. I can see the hostess made an effort, but I think she will have to check what is going on in her places after the "cleaners" have been there. They obviously don't do their jobs or aren't trained. I will DEFINITELY never sleep there again.
