117 guests' feedbackIt is very peaceful and there is no noise or traffic at all.
Thanks for the effort.
It was what I was looking for.
We had a wonderful stay at Lynette's place. The guest house's rooms are beautiful and unique in their decor. Lynette was a wonderful hostess and the breakfast was delicious!
All our needs were catered for, friendly host.
The place has such a beautiful theme but is old and neglected although it was clean. Power points were a problem. Did not feel safe with our vehicle parked on the sidewalk. The guest house has a shortage of parking. Yvonne was extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble for her.
The guest house met all my expectations. Lynette was an amazing host. Enjoyed the breakfast she made.
Had a great stay, will definitely go again.
Friendly owner and very helpful.
Neat and friendly.
The place is in a quiet neighborhood but close to all shops and eateries.
The hostess was very friendly! Place was neat and clean. Unfortunately, vehicles do not park behind a fence.
Most enjoyable place to stay.
See stars.
It was lovely, the single bed in the room was a bit lumpy, but for only a short stay it didn't bother me at all. The Aunt's kindness and extra effort made up for it.
Hostess very nice, but gets a little personal. Advertise breakfast for R90 on website but it was not worth R20.
Thank you very much aunty. The food was delicious and the company fantastic. Good luck for the future.
Parking remains a great concern especially if all rooms are booked.
The owners are friendly and we had a good time and barbecued at no extra cost. If you enjoy a cozy and warm atmosphere, book here.
Looks nothing like the pictures.
Very friendly hospitality, nice location! Has everything needed.
Dit was 'n stil vriendlike omgewing, het lekker uitgerus, was alles lekker.
On arrival, Lynette gave us a warm welcome to your home. She went out of her way all the time to ensure that we felt at home and her place and decor are fantastic, very nicely done and tidy too. She and Buddy are the best hosts we have ever met and will definitely go there again if we are in Kimberley. She accommodated us also with extra accommodation for my little brother and we spent a very nice time there with her.
We travelled from Gauteng back to Cape Town and overnight at this warm and friendly guest house, what lovely people, can definitely recommend there place, price is reasonable and your vehicle is save. We will definitely stay there again.
We only arrived late, that was no problem for the owners. Very hospitable, felt like being at my own home, everything was open for us to use, will definitely highly recommend it to other travellers. Felt safe. Owner offered us delicious cooldrink on arrival (after 10 at night) so yes, highly recommendable.
Barries went the proverbial extra mile to welcome me and make sure I was looked after as a pensioner. My accommodation was comfortable, like a home away from home, and will recommend it to any traveler who needs a good night's sleep. Safe parking and comfortable bed.
Accommodation is spacious and very neat. Air-con in the room with DStv, owner very involved with Paljas and Kandas. It makes it very pleasant. Nothing is too much trouble. Nice garden with a swimming pool. Parking is outside but it seems to be very safe and the street is very quiet.
A million things to see all over the house. Great service.
We only slept over for one night. Very hospitable and friendly hostess. For this reason I'd recommend this place to any colleague, friend, or family member. Thanks. Other than that, they might work on the parking situation seeing as it is a bit limited and can cause discomfort.
Nice stay but place needs to be made a little more visible. Billboard on sidewalk will help a lot.
Lynette and Barries are very friendly and helpful. The guesthouse is in a peaceful environment and the facilities are clean. I can really recommend it.
Affordable accommodation in a safe area.
Upon arrival at Paljas & Kandas the hostess, Mrs Linette Pieterse, didn't have our booking. This despite the fact that the last confirmation by Zenobia was done on 29 July. My original booking was for 2 family rooms with en-suite bathrooms. What we eventually got was 2 economic rooms and a bathroom on the other side of the passage that we had to share. I don't have a problem to share the bathroom with the rest of my family - but we realised that it is a public bathroom for everyone upstairs - including guests of the ground floor who make use of the dining hall. When I asked Mrs Pieterse about the person in the bathroom on the morning of 6 January she chased him out. There was no space to hang our towels in the economic room and no carpets in front of the beds. The rooms are full of "romantic" things that makes the space overcrowded. The TV in the rooms were old and not very effective because we hoped to make use of the communal TV in the lounge. The two carpets in this room was probably cleaned about 10 years ago. I haven't seen such a dirty carpet in a while. We payed R50 per person for breakfast and for this amount we didn't have any options. The breakfast consisted of scrambled eggs with sausages, bacon, mushrooms and chilli with a dry roll. We weren't asked if we eat it, if we want it or something like that. I don't eat bacon, sausage or chilli at all and my daughter and I don't eat scrambled eggs on bread. The sauce bottles on the table was very dirty. I don't think it would be so much trouble to wipe these bottles with a wet cloth once in a while. The staircase needs a proper rail.
There were hairs on the pillows from previous guests. Owners come in at 12 o'clock in the evening, kick out their staff right in front of the room and feed their dogs with great noise right in front of our room at midnight! We had to travel back to JHB with insufficient sleep. Very noisy place and vehicles are not safe because there are no fences in front.
Thank you Lynette, it was our first time in Kimberley and Paljas and Kandas made us feel very much at home. For people who like lots of fireplace frills and character, this is a very cute guest house. Felt like we were staying with a family.
And the people are very kind.
Thank you for the wonderful service and clean place. And LekkeSlaap, you guys are great. Thank you.
Will definitely stay there again in the future.
Very good reception. Rooms in excellent condition. Recommended with pleasure.
It was very nice. We were able to relax and there was nothing we lacked. Friendly, clean and tidy.
I can recommend Paljas and Kandas to anyone! The breakfast is out of the books, we ate like kings, and we were taken around the whole house to tell us the story of every room in the house. Our visit was fantastic, and we felt at home and at ease straight away.
Paljas & Kandas are very neat and spacious and the security is very good. Owner very friendly and helpful. Can recommend anyone to stay there.
We had a very nice stay. Fair with excellent service. Breakfast was very tasty and more than we could eat.
Very friendly, helpful hostess. Nice rooms.
Lynette is a down-to-earth, friendly hostess who made our visit very enjoyable. Her donkey history story amused me!
We had a lovely time and will definitely stay there again in the future. It is clean, neat and Lynette is a beautiful person. Thank you Lynette.
Very hospitable people and we felt at home. Will go back.
Very convenient. The availability of the kitchen and dining room is a plus.
I was not impressed with Paljas and Kandas. There are 6 rooms and 1 bathroom, and only fans in the bedrooms. The people were very friendly. I would not want to stay there again.
The single garage that has been converted into a room with shower and toilet (without door) also in the room is nowhere to be seen in the photos. The dogs chew bones and meat on the mat right in front of the room door that you have to climb over. The room is cold and right next to the social area and bar and you hear every sound. It is not suitable for small children and babies - large dogs that just come into the room and smoke that comes in from outside when people smoke. I will keep my comments on the style of the bedding and finishes to myself as tastes vary. We moved out after one night and forfeited our deposit because we didn't see a chance of sleeping there again. I can't put my baby down there because the dogs are a problem and I myself stepped in a screw on the floor. Previous guests' items they left behind are in the closet (aftershave, papers, etc.). It is also good to know that this is like an outside room to the owners' house and they themselves live there too. You feel like you are staying with people and have their animals and everything in your space. We will definitely not be visiting again!
A very nice homely atmosphere, like spending the night with friends.
Thank you for the warm welcome upon our arrival and the nice live piano music during breakfast. We had a great stay!
The hostess is incredibly friendly. The rooms are neat and clean, beautiful place full of antiques. Lovely pool and friendly animals. We slept very well.
I recommend this place for sure.
We were immediately welcomed. The rooms were neat; everyone's place was numbered. We had a nice swim. We felt like old friends. Nothing was out of place and will come again!
I am very pleased with the place and it reminded me a lot of the time when I was a child. Elvis is a very beautiful dog. And it is a very nice place to rest. Thank you very much again.
The guest house is a very nice and cute place. I would definitely recommend it. The owner as well as the staff are very professional and friendly. Everything had been excellent.
See the stars.
The owner's hospitality is endearing. She goes out of her way to meet your needs. "Beyond the call of duty." The facilities are clean and tidy. One really feels welcome there. I would definitely recommend it to anyone as it is definitely good value for money.
See the stars.
The guest house is located in a quiet area close to tourist attractions and business center. The spacious rooms and quiet atmosphere make you relax from the moment you walk in. Lynette is a beautiful hostess, and prepared the most delicious breakfast for us.
We will recommend Paljas & Kandas over and over again. Hospitality was the best. Very clean and tidy. Will definitely stay there again if we pass by.
Lynette and Barrie are exceptional people with open hearts. Will never be able to drive through Kimberley again without stopping there and saying hello.
Lynette is an excellent hostess and made us feel very much at home. She went out of her way to accommodate us with early meals and other requests. The breakfast was excellent. The rooms were clean and very tidy. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The house is also located in a quiet area, but at the same time is close to everything. We will definitely stay there again if we go to Kimberley.
Nice and spacious room with a bathroom and a master kitchen.
It can be difficult travelling with a 2 year old and 7 month old but we all felt welcome. Thanks Lynette, will come again soon.
Pleasant and cozy. The breakfast was delicious and big. Would definitely recommend it.
Friendly and passionate guesthouse owner!
Friendly welcome and lovely stay. Will definitely stay there again.
The hosts go out of their way to make you feel at home.
Welcome rest after a long journey.
The owners go out of their way to make you feel welcome.
We are satisfied with the place and the owner is very helpful and offer an excellent breakfast. The house is neat and full of beautiful old furniture and at night a guard looks after the place. One must, however, take note that the owner is a dog lover and one must not be afraid of the dogs in the backyard.
We were immediately welcomed and made to feel at home. Good security throughout the night which was important to us because you don't want to unpack your whole vehicle if you're just staying overnight in a place.
We were very well received and the stay was value for money. Breakfast was also very nice!
Good location. The toilet lacks a door. House rules about silence after a certain time are essential. Allocated parking must be provided. Totally inadequate.
Good value for money for overnight stay. Lynette very friendly.
We were concerned about security. Our room window was at the parking lot where vehicles entered and exited in the evening. The owners were friendly and helpful.
A guesthouse used by miners and linens are old and stained. Shower floor in bathroom is very dirty and then bathroom is shared by 5 rooms. Discovered it with a shock the next morning!
Very friendly and pleasant people. Will definitely go again and will also recommend to friends and family. Had a very nice breakfast.
We enjoyed it very much. The service is excellent!
It was very nice. My wife and I really enjoyed it. The breakfast is very large and original.
Had a great time. It was like family.
Clean, neat, well maintained and managed establishment. Mouth watering XXXL home made bread that was so big it could plug the Kimberly hole. 15 of us attacked the bread and it still took 2 days to devour. Hospitality here is 1st class. See you guys next time the SA Pool Championships visit your town. Regards, Eddy Chairman Executive Committee of the National Black Ball Federation, of the KZN Social League.

Facilities were pleasant and comfy with fabulous air con. Lynette was friendly and helpful and willing to assist in anyway! Good value for money. I think that a little more attention to general upkeep and cleanliness would go a long way to improving the overall impression. Although we felt very welcome and appreciated their attention to us, we are quite private people so would have appreciated being left to do our own thing in our own space but I do understand that most other people would love to have their hosts join them for a chat etc - we were just not in that kind of space that evening!
Lynette and Barries, thank you very much for the good service for me and my family who were able to get away from Lichtenburg for the first time in years. It was worth it to be able to spend the night with you and enjoy Kimberley's hospitality. Paljas & Kandas is a nice place to sleep over; it feels like the place belongs to you. The dogs are so well mannered; i wish my dogs were like that. Keep the place as it is and good luck with the changes.
Atmosphere was very homely and welcoming. The owner made feel at home and goes out of her way to assist and put one at ease. We will be back.
I was in Kimberly to visit my brand new granddaughter shortly after her birth so I imagine everything and anything would have been wonderful. Paljas & Kandas was never the less a very nice place to stay with very friendly people to meet you and make your stay as good as it gets. Well done Lynette and others.
Everything about this establishment and people was perfect. We enjoyed our stay tremendously. Thanks a lot. Keep it up guys and see you in the future!
We were received very hospitably and Lynette's kindness is worth mentioning. The rooms are large and comfortable and the bathroom was very spacious.
Lynette is a very pleasant hostess. The rooms look great, and we were made to feel at home from the start. Definitely the option when you have to go to Kimberley.
Very helpful and the other guests also pleasant.
We were only concerned about our vehicle which could not be locked behind gates.

Amazing!
Beautiful place with beautiful antiques, especially for me who loves History it was a very pleasant place. The fact that there was a kitchen, dining room & living room at our disposal was very special as few guest houses have such facilities. We were personally received by the owners and treated very kindly
Room 1's floors are cold and lack a carpet. Other than that it was very pleasant. This will be my place to stay from now on.
See the stars below.
We can definitely recommend Paljas and Kandas because it's like a home away from home. Lynette and Barries go out of their way to accommodate their guests.
Everything at Paljas and Kandas was fantastic.
This was a home from home. There are 5 rooms upstairs in the house and the owners live downstairs. The owners were extremely friendly, shared some of her freshly baked bread with us and was very hospitable. The linen was of very good quality, HUGE bath sheets, and best of all a feather duvet. I slept so well. We had a good breakfast. I would certainly recommend it to anyone wanting a friendly B + B and very good service.
The friendliest people who immediately made us feel at home with HUGE breakfast. You made our stay fantastic - thank you!
Was exactly what we were looking for, neat accommodation for the evening that was reasonably priced. Will definitely stay here again.
Accommodation is very nicely laid out. All recommendation we can make. is that a liquor license may be obtained - even if only for wine and beer.
We were at home a lot. It was truly a "home away from home".
We will recommend Kandas and Paljas to all our friends.
Here, the guests are carried in at the front door on wings of hospitality. Breakfast is extra large and delicious. The owners are two beautiful people and far more than the normal service is provided to their guests. Paljas and Kandas is more than just a business. It is an "overnight home" with the emphasis on "home" away from your own home. At check-out time, it feels like you're leaving new friends behind. We would stay here again anytime!
We overnighted at Paljas and Kandas enroute to Johannesburg from Cape Town. We received friendly and efficient service and were served a delicious meal upon request. It was great to relax and have a good rest before the final stretch of our journey the next day. It was like visiting with friends. Thank-you Lynette and Barry for making our stay such a pleasant one.
I recommend the guest house to people who want to stay here!
Was very nice. Friendly people and go out of there way to assist people.
See the stars below.
We slept great there when we toured Kimberley. The house is very spacious and well equipped. It is wonderfully quiet there and our stay was very pleasant. Thank you!
We did business and attended the Gariepfees - Kimberley is close to my heart and the people are my people. The place is very cute.
