129 guests' feedbackThis was just a stopover for us, but what a stunning, beautiful, clean sleepover. Helgaard and staff were amazing. This is such a gem. Everything you need and so stylish, small and cozy. Will definitely recommend.
Very nice accommodation. Friendly staff. Will definitely stay there again if I'm in the area.
We really enjoyed our visit at Rand Self-Catering Accommodation. Will definitely come again.
Have a great stay and relax. Place is very neat and clean.
Neat and clean. Everything you need. Beautiful garden.
Helgard was very friendly and helpful. We had a great time.
As a one night stop over it was perfect for our needs!
Clean and safe stay.
Great! We can highly recommend it.
Neat accommodation with everything you need for a day or two. Thank you very much, we plan to come again later in the year.
Unbelievable. Wonderful service.
It was good value for money. Beautiful place.
Excellent stay, beautiful hospitality.
We rested well. If you want to get away from the city this is the right place.
Very nice stay. Thanks for the coffee kit in the room, everything was 100%.
We felt welcomed from day one until the last day. We will definitely go back again. Everyone at the house made our stay a pleasant one.
The owner, Helgaardt, contacted us before our trip and also gave us the opportunity to book in a little earlier. It is very comfortable and safe accommodation in a quiet and peaceful environment.
Can recommend to anyone for a lovely place to stay.
The best self-catering accommodation in Carolina. Value for money. Best customer care. The guy who welcomed us was very friendly. We will definitely come back for more days. We were attending a funeral and we wished we could stay for more days. Keep up the good service. 5 stars from me.
Helgard went out of his way to make us feel comfortable.
Comfortable and safe.
Great service. Friendly and helpful.
Found a very nice, modern house and excellent hosts.
Everything you need for a night's sleep. Neat, safe, quiet. We will definitely stay there again.
It was exactly as advertised. Very friendly service. Power during load shedding and very good security.
Neat place with lovely surroundings.
We have stayed at Rand Self-catering Accommodation in Carolina before and will definitely stay there again. Very tidy room and the complimentary coffee and biscuits are a bonus.
All that is needed for the night.
Neat, spacious room with a bathroom and cute kitchen. Was very safe and had a friendly "host"! There were warm blankets, full DSTV, a hairdryer, undercover parking, cappucinos and breakfast biscuits, clean towels and a massive bed. A lot of effort has been put into the place. Definitely a 10/10 from us!
Great service, clean room and patient staff, just a tip about the stairs, my wife is a bit short so going up the stairs was a bit of a challenge for us, but the caretaker assured us that they were busy with them. Overall all a great experience, I would recommend Rand Self-catering Accommodation to anyone looking for peace of mind.
Thank you for the pleasant stay and all the extras we were helped with. Nothing was trouble. I will definitely stay with you again if I am in the area for work.
Our host Helgard, went out of his way to welcome us and make us feel at home.
The reception and friendliness by Helgaardt and his staff was exceptional. The stay was awesome and not at all what we expected. Lovely electric blankets on the bed, the place looks like it came out of a magazine - lovely. Thank you for the hospitality. We wade it a lot.
The continuous feedback through Email, SMS and WhatsApp are remarkable and extremely professional. As pensioners, we could not complete our journey that day and in a short time our overnight accommodation was arranged and easily paid for. We wish this enterprise every success and may you go from strength to strength. Grateful.
Friendly reception, helpful and will definitely use you again.
The accommodation was great and the owner was so friendly and checked on us.
The environment is clean. The vegetation in the compound is very good.
We will certainly re-visit if we are in that area and we will tell all our friends.
The floor is bare cement and cold, the mats are power, it looks like a towel on the floor. The toilet seat is loose. The shower and hot water are good. For R450. 00 there could be more in the kitchen. There was one bottle of water, enough sugar for one and a half cups of coffee, one packet of thin biscuits. As a traveler we don't carry food with us, some milk, some biscuits, maybe some cereal or something just to get on the road to find a place to eat in a strange town.
There's not much to say except that it exceeded all our expectations and more. After 16 days on the road we had seen and experienced everything in terms of accommodation so our expectations were tempered. The room was neat, clean and felt like home. Nothing looks or feels like it was an afterthought and everything was done with care. Definitely deserves 5 stars.
Quite beautiful place.
It was our first time in Carolina. The site layout impressed, as did the care of the site. The room was very comfortable and the host and staff very friendly and helpful. Secure parking a peace of mind.
Amazing service. So friendly and warm. John, who let us, in was really lovely and the owner was wonderful. Communication was excellent, she really went out of her way to make sure we had a good stay. I'm sure we will be back.
Amazing place & great location.
My wife and I stayed over for a total of two nights at Rand Self-catering on our road trip to and from the Kruger National Park. What a beautiful and peaceful place. There were no barking dogs or noisy neighbours so we had a most wonderful and peaceful night's rest. The room was spotlessly clean and there was safe parking behind a roll-up garage door in a gated property. The room has everything required for a safe catering stop-over. After a hot shower, a super comfortable king-size bed warmed by an electric blanket awaits you. The complimentary breakfast snacks, tea, coffee, bottled water, and chocolates were a nice surprise. We will definitely stay over here again and can, without doubt, recommend Rand Self-catering Accommodation.
Very neat, safe overnight stop. Received friendly service from John.
Everything was good and in order. John gave us a friendly reception. Everything was in place and what was wonderful is that loadshedding had no negative impact, they are great. Bedding is fresh. It will definitely be our overnight place in the future.
Value for money and location is great and the personal attention of staff is very good.
Very helpful with "loadshedding", we experienced no inconvenience!
See stars.
Outstanding! Value for money everything I needed was there fridge and microwave is available.
Clean, tidy, great overnight stay. Quiet, nice view on the edge of town. Secure parking. Everything you need is there. Relax in the garden with a view.
Had the best time at the guest house. It was very quiet, the guy looking at the place did not bother us at all. The place was nice and clean. We are actually planning to come back and have my 33th birthday party there.
I thought we would get a nice view and a braai place in the self-catering unit. Everything else was very pleasant and precious.
The braai needs a roof, because it's not nice in the rain. All you need is a stove or electric plate with a pot and some "steak" knives. The knives that were there can't even cut a lemon. The self-catering facilities need to be upgraded.
What a lovely place in Carolina. Had a great time relaxing and resting there.
Very accommodating with needs.
Lovely place to visit. Great environment.
It was very nice to be able to live there for a few days. The host is a very pleasant and friendly person. The place is in a nice quiet neighborhood and I found everything I needed in the self-catering unit. Enough desk space, a soft bed and a safe place to park. Will definitely go back again when I'm in the area. Thank you very much for everything.
Had a great time at home. Great and friendly service.
Nice place. Peaceful.
It was the ideal overnight stop for our holiday! The unit was very tidy and had everything we could possibly need!
We stopped over for one night only on the way to the coast, and everything was great. I personally would have liked to see some throw rugs on the cold cement floor, but not a deal breaker.
We were received so kindly! Place was clean and tidy. 100% recommend the place.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Guesthouse was neat and clean.
Grounds of the venue and surrounds are very pretty and peaceful. We were supplied wood for an outside fire which we felt was a nice thought. Also unexpected was a bottle of water in the fridge each and breakfast biscuits with our morning coffee.
Please make means of placing bath soap or shower gel.
Very nice place and very neat. Beautiful garden and it is very peaceful. Very hospitable. Highly recommend it to anyone. I will stay there again in the future.
After a long journey, a good night's rest is very important. Once mattresses are replaced, I would definitely recommend for people.
The unit is clean and has everything you need. They are very helpful and we had a very nice stay.
Accommodation is neat and everything a person could need is available. Slept very comfortably, would recommend!
Would recommend for family and friends. Clean and neat and well rested.
Was enough for a roof over our head no complaints.
Very comfortable, great shower. We arrived late and left early so couldn't really experience the accommodation fully, but it appeared that every amenity was thought of had we needed this. Very friendly owner and staff. Couldn't ask for more.
Good location, excellent service.
Was only overnight stay and accordingly it met my need. Clean and neat and relatively affordable.
Baie vriendelik gasheer. Dis 'n baie oulike plekkie en als wat jy nodig het as jy net iewers wil oorslaap vir 'n aand voor jy jou reis verder aanpak. Die een eenheid is stunning en baie mooi oorgedoen. Die 2de eenheid kort nog bietjie liefde en aandag, maar vir wat jy betaal en wat jy kry is dit waarde vir geld. Ons het baie lekker gebly.
The room was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We would definitely recommend Rand Self-catering.
Great overnight accommodation with all the necessary facilities. Very neat and clean place. Very welcome and friendly reception and extra effort was made with our stay. Would stay there again anytime.
The one eve we were there was pleasant. Everything clean, in working condition, and safe. All at reasonable rate.
Very clean and tidy.
We had a very nice stay at Rand Self-catering. Very tidy, well equipped with attention to detail, friendly service. Feel free to try it.
Rand Self-catering Accommodation offers a clean, tidy, spacious and well-equipped unit. In a quiet part of Carolina, with appropriate security.
We had a ncie stay at Rand Self-catering Accommodation.
Friendly reception, place clean and tidy!
If you are passing through Carolina I would strongly recommend staying here. The owners were very accommodating and friendly.
Staff very helpful. Carrying out suitcases etc. Nice electric blanket on bed. Chocolate on bed. Very nice.
Friendly reception upon arrival. The room was neat and tidy and had everything we needed.
Lekker, baie stil, goed gerus, sal weer daar slaap.
We were in the area for a wedding and looking for a place to stay for the evening. We were all satisfied with everything in the rooms. Thank you very much for the wonderful stay as well as the hospitality we received.
Very friendly and helpful. Service excellent. Apartment very neat and clean. Will definitely stay there again. Value for money it definitely is.
The room was neat and clean. We were received and treated very well. The environment was very safe and quiet and peaceful.
Located in a quiet area. The unit is very neat and clean. Friendly reception. Car safe behind automatic gate and roll-up garage door. A few very small things which could be improved on, such as a sink rack and soap in the bathroom.
See stars.
Very tranquil, no noise. Received well and will stay there again.
There were some problems. Furniture falls apart. Clearly not maintained. Kitchen sink has a bad smell.
The rooms are very neat and clean, beautiful gardens and help is very friendly.
Value for money. Negatives: poor signs, we drove past twice before finding it; and the bathroom door won't close and is very wobbly.
See stars.
Very cute, neat modern and clean with full DStv. Would stay there again anytime.
It was exactly what I was looking for before a very busy 2018.
We were in the area for a wedding and were quite surprised at how cosy the room was. All the equipment worked and we were never dissatisfied with anything. Thank you for the service!
It's a beautiful, cozy place you have and it was wonderful to be able to stay there. Thank you for the beautiful stay and hospitality.
This was our second visit to Rand self catering Accommodation and will certainly go there again.
We stayed here because we had a wedding in the area. The room was very neat, has everything you need, and electric blankets (on our weekend there it was sorely needed). The shower was excellent and the kitchenette has everything you need. It was a pleasure and we will stay there again if we are in the area.
It was very nice and will definitely sleep there again!
Thank you for granting us accommodation with reasonable requirements. You are warm people and will always be remembered for your good human nature. Beds are deliciously warm and everything is neat and comfortable.
We were 3 people on our way to Swaziland and were just looking for a place to sleep near the border. Rand Self-catering Accommadation's rate was extremely reasonable. We were so surprised with the beautiful and comfortable rooms. Thought we were going to get very cold and then there were lovely electric blankets on the beds. Thank you very much for the great service. I can recommend your place with great confidence.
We really did enjoy our stay at Rand; it definitely exceeded my expectations. It had everything that we needed and it was well furnished (aesthetics wise). My only issue was that a double bed had to be requested; it would have been nice to have that as one of the rental options.
Thanks a lot for the assistance and friendliness with unhooking our trailer as well as the conveniences in the room. Lovely coffee and cookies were waiting for us the next morning before we departed. They also helped us accommodate small children on a Christmas bed. Hospitable. Helpful. Clean, neat sleeping arrangements. Safe.
The room is very stylish and clean with fresh white bedding and a spacious bathroom. It is incredible value for money. The room is around the corner from a beautiful pond with the most beautiful view. I will definitely stay longer next time to experience the natural beauty.
Very good place, we enjoyed a stay a lot. It was clean, it had a stove, ice, TV and friendly help.
See stars.
See the stars.
Welcomed by a friendly host. Very helpful. Accommodation is neat, clean and peaceful. Value for money and will definitely recommend it.
On my arrival I felt very welcome, friendliness and very professional. I had a great time and will certainly use the accommodation again if I travel in that direction in the future. Thank you Rand Self Care you are great!
Clean and simple room, the decor is done at a low cost but looks good.
Friendliness, extra ordinary.
Had a good and very helpful reception.
We were towing a caravan, and were looking for a place to stay the night on our way to the Kruger National Park. The guest house was very accommodating, allowing some people to sleep in the caravan. The room is very spacious and met our needs well.
5 star except for lighting. The one wall is a 'dry' wall, could hear the people next door's conversation, not easy to fall asleep. Otherwise excellent. The chap who welcomed us is excellent at his job!
The accommodation is well situated to visit Swaziland. Rooms were clean, there were heaters and everything worked. Good value for money for one night's stay.
Nice place honesty, I really enjoyed my stay.
Neat and clean. Would recommend for just an overnight stay.
Definitely value for money. The owner is very helpful and friendly. Will definitely stay here again.
Shower, toilet needs glass that is not see-through and dishtowels at the basin. Otherwise it was good. Safety? No burglar bars.
I can recommend it as a place to overnight.
