17 guests' feedbackMany thanks to Krona and Liza! We enjoyed it very much! It was wonderfully quiet, the place was very nice and clean and the welcoming strawberries and chocolates were a bonus! Will definitely go again!
A wonderful walk down 'memory lane' in the coffee shop, quaint eclectic and delightful. It is in the middle of nowhere, but absolutely worth the detour off the fast lane, to enjoy the slow pace of rural South Africa.
We loved every minute of our stay from the moment when we arrived. There were ice cold beer and wine in the fridge to enjoy after a long day of travelling, and the pre-arranged dinner was delicious. Rooms were clean and charming. Perfect for a restful stay over. The hosts were very friendly and helpful.
Our stay was quiet and peaceful. The accommodation was clean and neat. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and attended to our special requests. Just a note to anyone travelling by motorcycle, the access roads to Truksvy are not in a good condition, i.e. very corrugated and sandy in places. Obviously, this is not the fault of the establishment, but just something to keep in mind.
Where the "nothing" grows a meter high, there you find this little gem. Incredibly hospitable owners. Nothing is too much to ask if you need anything. Helpfulness and kindness are the order of the day.
Great place with great people.
I can recommend Truksvy to anyone to stop by. Thank you for the excellent service and accommodation on Soutpan.
Neat and clean. Friendly hospitable people. We will definitely visit there again.
One could not ask for friendlier service. It was just a pleasure to stay there for the night. Be sure to book dinner ahead of time, you won't regret it. They answer the question 'are there still awesome people?' with a resounding yes. Only thing that bothers me is the dampness which causes the plaster to flake, but they are working on it, then everything will be perfect.
Great in the Free State.
Truksvy is located in a typical platteland town which takes you back in time. The rooms were perfect and everything worked. Breakfast in their little dining room was great with real moer koffie with condensed milk. Their little shop (or Soutpan Mall as they call it) appears to have everything.
I did not look around Soutpan, so feel that I am unable to comment on the area as a travel destination.
Very friendly people, simple but good accommodation and food.
In comparison to other small towns and similar accommodation, this was pricy, excluding breakfast. The well stocked shop, and coffee shop, did however have breakfast on the menu. We did however experience small town hospitality, which money cannot buy. The salt pans close by, was an interesting visit.
Nice cycling route around the salt pans. Understand more where salt comes from. Understand the process of manufacturing better. Was Great beyond nicely fried. Will go again.
Heartfelt people who want to make your stay as comfortable as possible for you. Delicious food. Accommodation was very neat and clean and everything you need is there.
Basic accommodation in a very small village off the beaten track. Very warm welcome, birds and stars. Perfect for a quiet overnight stop. Not for those who prefer luxury and amenities.
