136 guests' feedbackThe room was nice and warm in the cold.
Yes, we had a nice stay.
It was very pleasant.
Venue was perfect for an overnight stay for a family of 5, comfortable, clean, great shower with warm water. Just disappointed in the tea and coffee, creamer seemed to be rancid.
Very nice stay, no problems encountered.
Very clean but there is a lack of attention to small things like the bathroom door which has seen better days. Al's there for a comfortable overnight stay and parking behind automatic gate.
The overnight facilities are comfortable and the price very reasonable.
I have indeed, they do need to focus on their maintenance.
Stay was comfortable, just no aircon and extremely hot. No teaspoons in the room. Swimming pool was definitely not available as stated in the advertisement. It was green and close to empty. But other than that, the experience was good.
It was neat, and had a nice stay.
Will definitely stay there again.
Adequate for a quick overnight stay.
I got refreshed for the next day's journey.
Please ensure that the Wi-Fi is working properly thank you.
We were received very kindly, our room was neat and clean. The shower was very nice after the long hot day. We just suggest that they pay attention to maintenance.
The rooms have everything you need for an overnight stop between Pretoria and Cape Town. A bed, shower and cup of coffee for tired bodies.
The people went out of their way to make it comfortable for us and the other guests. Will always recommend them.
Room very cramped. Very hot, would recommend air conditioning. Swimming pool is very dirty. Attention is needed.
No proper ventilation, room is cramped. Its ok for a budget over night stay.
We literally had no sleep. Was scared to death. There was someone screaming for help in the street. Every 5 to 10 minutes we heard another truck. Drunk people in the street and fearing for our lives when we wanted to buy food. Would not recommend it at all.
Daar was geen koffie, tee of enige iets in kamers soos wat hulle sê daar sal wees. Kamers was redelik skoon maar komberse was vuil. Geen water gehad die volgende oggend om te stort of tande te borsel. Ons het uit nood daar geslaap nadat die plek wat ons 3 weke tevore geboek het en betaal bet ons op 99 gedrop het oor hulle goed belowe het wat hulle nie kon bybring so vir wat ons op 99 kon kry was ons tevrede.
We will not visit here again, it is not suitable for small children and pets. The photo on the website of the garden and play area does not exist, there is only a small lawn right in front of two of the rooms. It feels awkward to visit the garden when there are people living right in front of the garden. There was also a huge pile of shaved garbage bags right next to the garden. The pool was dirty and therefore could not use it in the 38 degree hot day. The room is tiny and cramped for a family with two small children and dogs, the fans don't help at all either. I would suggest you get aircon in the place. I booked a room with a bath but got a room with a shower so difficult with small children. The website indicates free WiFi but the internet is limited, only 250 mb. We checked in at 14:00 in the afternoon and the restaurant was not open, so we could not order anything. There is a gas station opposite the guest house, it looks like a stop for all the taxis. It is terribly noisy and it feels unsafe to visit the shop there. The room's kitchen does not have everything you need, there were no plates, bowls or cutlery. The noise in the evening from the big trucks passing by or the noise of taxi music at night was very disturbing, the double bed's mattress has already been slept through, it feels like you are lying in a cavity.
Staff is friendly. Room was clean and tidy. Beautiful swimming pool. Secure parking.
Best place to stay throughout the country with the best competitive prices and very good value for money!
Excellent value for money, especially compared to what some of the other places in the area charge. Good location for an overnight stop from Gauteng to the Cape.
No aircon, fans only, somewhat cramped for 4 adults.
Affordable accommodation for one night's overnight stop. The room was clean and had everything we needed.
I would only recommend that you pay more attention to cleanliness, for example dusting and wiping. It's a bit tight for a family of 4, but it didn't bother us that much because we only stayed one night. Bathroom and bedding clean and tidy. Reception and staff very friendly.
Not what I expected.
There was a group of people coming in, chatting and fighting in front of our bedroom window and shouting. Before 3 came knocking on our door. It really wasn't a pleasure. No one even came to try to silence. No, we wanted to rest to drive again early next morning, but it would have been better for us to drive through. We really wasted our money.
Will not go there again.
Bed bugs, too much noise and didn't close an eye.
No air conditioning, the roof fan is not sufficient.
Units are very simple and furnished for sleeping only. No air conditioning, only a fan. Our unit was also near a drain that stank. Generally a good enough place to sleep, preferably in winter when it is not so hot.
Reception always friendly, was there in December and January. Highly recommended and very safe and clean.
See stars.
For a travel-weary body, you just want a hot shower and rest in a clean bed with a cup of tea/coffee to soothe you. Youngs offers all of this! Thank you very much.
Neat and clean. Had a good night's rest, all basic necessities for a good night's rest!
See stars.
The room is very crowded, but all you need for a sleep over. The room was very neat and the place is very safe. The staff very helpful.
Perfect for a quick family sleepover on the way to the Cape! Arrived after 9pm. The smell of detergents was prominent when the door was opened. Good first impression! Specifically looked at the window handle and locking mechanism. And Yes, it was polished bright! If you are looking for a bed, bath and kettle for one night's sleepover this is perfect. Might be disturbing for people looking for absolute silence. Although our room was almost right on the main road, it still didn't bother us at all. Would definitely recommend.
We were kindly received, there is safe parking. The room was nice clean and tidy but maybe a little small for five people.
The place decent and tidy, but quite expensive for a small town where you are just passing through. Parking was safe.
Swimming pool out of order (advertise it on website). Very noisy due to traffic and gas station directly opposite guest house. Bunk bed was very wobbly. It was very cramped and hot and fan did not help. Air conditioning would definitely be a plus. Also very clean and tidy.
Cheap and a clean bed, that's all. No chair to sit on or a bench outside the room. Parking space is very small. Bad area. Busy route. Bathroom's system stinks inhumanly badly. Gate is open and closed all the time!
Weak, not again.
See stars.
Safe for budget traveller.
We found the accommodation to be very comfortable, clean and neat. For one night we were very impressed. The staff was very helpful.
No coffee or tea in rooms and had to collect from reception. No tea available. Rooms fantastic, beautiful, clean and tidy. It was lovely to spend the night there. Safe behind a high fence. Very peaceful place and one would not think you are on the main street of Beaufort West. The fact that there is a restaurant with good breakfast and coffee on site was the icing on the cake. Ensure that coffee and tea and stir sticks are available in each bag in the room and or as soon as a person checks in.
A few things on the 5 sleeper unit we were in, can be upgraded. The shower head just run like a normal tap, no sprinkler type water running. A mini kitchen can be made available with maybe a 2 plate stove, especially for those staying for more than 3 days. I will gladly pay more if this facility should be upgraded a bit and aircons installed.
When we got there on Friday night, they had no knowledge of our reservation. I had to go back on my emails to prove that booking was done and deposit paid a long time ago. It was very uncomfortable and they then had to search around and call around and make moves to be able to give us a room. I don't know who or where the problem was?
Safe parking at guest house, the rooms are old but clean.
Basic accommodation for the price range. The environment is not very safe although the accommodation is quite safe. Would not recommend for families as it seems there are quite a few contractors staying overnight. They can certainly not provide just one coffee/tea, as one would like to enjoy a coffee on arrival and also the next morning. However, accommodation is clean and value for money for single travellers.
Not again thanks, on heavy vehicle route, didn't slept at all.
The pictures on their web page are extremely misleading. Upon our arrival it was clear that our names were not even recorded in their register. There was a clear reservation for 2 single rooms and 1 double room. The two singles had to sleep in family rooms. There is a picture of a beautiful garden, but there is no such thing. The pool was completely empty, that's understandable because of the water condition, but at least visitors should be forewarned. The misty fan in the room did not work. The absolute noise in the street in front of the place is a big reason why I would advise anyone who wants to rest to use the place. The noise continues all night. As Gautenians, we felt very unsafe because of the hustle and bustle in the street and with a gate that anyone can open. The website says there is WiFi, this is very misleading as it can only be used if you are sitting in the restaurant. No WiFi in the rooms. No covers for your vehicle, your vehicle is in +- 42 C and if you have to drive in the day your vehicle is unbearably hot. No what, never again. It's not worth the money.
It was the first time we used such overnight facilities. It was wonderful to be received so friendly and helpful. It's an absolute plus that it's also pet-friendly. We slept great with no disturbing noises. We could rest well. It is also very convenient that you have 24 hour reception staff.
No complaints from us, had a great stay and enjoyed a lovely breakfast, would use again.
The rest makes the road so much better.
Young's is ideal for people travelling with their pets. Second time we stayed there. Just one tip: We recommend Pizza World, their contact details are in every room, they deliver and the pizzas are divine.
Friendly service after a long drive on the way to the Cape. Good stopover so that one can face the rest of the road refreshed.
Met our needs. The right place to stay overnight for any traveler!
Very neat, clean and friendly staff.
No problems encountered.
Traffic can be very noisy because it is so close to the road. Instead, ask for a room further down the yard. Completely meets our needs.
Beds are comfortable and linen clean. Rooms was neat and clean. The only negative was the bath in the bathroom but no shower. Location is good and price fair. Just too little space to braai.
The staff at Young's Halfway House went out of their way to make sure the stay was worthwhile. A tasty breakfast was served. Will return again for a third time.
We had a nice stay in "Beautiful West".
Clean and tidy but basic. Perfect for one night stay. Secure parking which is absolutely essential! Surprisingly little traffic noise at night! Seeing that it's on Donkin. No air conditioning! They are needed when it is 35 degrees!
Upon arrival we were warmly received by a lady who showed us to our room and made sure everything was in order. Room was clean and neat and well equipped for an overnight stay. Would definitely make use of Young's Halfway again, but would just remember to buy milk for coffee.
Very short accommodation. Room is acceptable, except for the double bed's feet that fell out in the middle of the night.
Pet friendly, clean, friendly reception but the one bedroom unit is way too small to accommodate 5 people. There is no space to move around in the room. You sit on your bed and basta. My son became claustrophobic and went to sleep in the car. Not nice to pay for a bed and then sleep in the car. I was not very happy.
See stars.
Daar was nie koffie of teelepels nie.
No aircon, the fan doesn't work and management doesn't know how it works either. Swimming pool facilities were locked. Very noisy by the main road.
Nice place to stay one night.
The accommodation was very comfortable and perfect for someone looking for a place to sleep during a long journey. I would perhaps suggest they invest in air conditioning in the rooms. It is terribly hot there in December. Luckily the pool was great for cooling off.
A great place to overnight. Very comfortable and clean.
Very neat and clean.
Thank you to everyone at the guesthouse who were so friendly, it was wonderful. Stay well!
It was very neat and clean. The service was friendly and helpful. The security of the car was good because it was behind a gate. The security is very good. They don't let strangers in. I would definitely recommend it as a stopover for students who still have to travel far. Location is very good and could find it easily.
The unit was neat and clean. Well equipped to make our stay pleasant and comfortable. Would just have preferred it if the bathroom had a shower too, and not just a bath. Breakfast was friendly and the people helpful. Inside the complex it is neat and the swimming pool is a big bonus.
It is definitely a safe place for children. Would have liked the playing area to be updated a bit. the spesific room we slept in was very hot and they unfortunately didn't have aircon. They did have a fan. Shower's water pressure is also not sufficient.
All I can say is what they can look into is maybe putting in air conditioning, it was terribly hot that night when we stayed overnight. The fans didn't help. Furthermore, there are no complaints.
It is a very small room and bathroom. Shower is very small and weak water pressure. Refrigerator can barely hold a bottle of milk. No tea and coffee facilities. Cups and kettle only.
We were disappointed in the cleanliness and general appearance of the place (It doesn't look like the pictures at all). The pool was dirty, our shower head was rusty and the room was not very clean. Definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone else.
Everything you need for a halfway stop.
Security very good. Rooms very nice.
Definitely value for money.
Accommodation was in excellent condition and extremely clean and tidy. Everything worked fine. The staff was very friendly and helpful with any request from our side. The breakfast was well presented and affordable.
Lovely, clean and basic accommodation. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Special thanks to Anthony at reception who went out of his way to help us out. Will definitely stay again.
Breakfast was also very nice. Recommended.
Clean and tidy. Just miss a shower.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. Their breakfast is delicious.
Very clean, tidy, well furnished!
Our reception was friendly and the rooms painfully neat and comfortable. We would definitely recommend Young's. All that is missing is an air conditioner.
The staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms clean and comfortable. The pool is a relief in the heat.
Very safe and clean. Will always recommend. Only thing is that the TV didn't work.
Thank you for the good reception after a long journey. It's just a shame that the fan was broken and it was very hot and could not be used.
Please see the stars.
The only thing that bothered is that there was no plug for the sink. Furthermore - delicious!
Very pleasant stay and neat rooms.
The parking area is a bit cramped for cars and trailers.
The reception was very cute and great. We enjoyed that there was kykNET.
Very good location with comfortable sleeping accommodation for a small family.
The room was neat. Receptionist was informative and caring. Please make sure there's coffee and tea in the room. Everything from the booking up until I left was great.
The staff are friendly and helpful. The main road that passes in front is very noisy, but a comfortable room that is well appointed makes up for it.
Very conveniently located for our purposes. Neat and comfortable beds. Good service.
See the stars.
In the summer one would have liked air conditioning and perhaps a shower instead of a bath. Still acceptable.
Cockroaches. The place is cold. The air conditioning is faulty. Breakfast is very good.
Ontvangs was goed en alhoewel die kamer skoon en netjies was, was die temperatuur teen 16:00 42 °C! Met geen lugversorging in die klein kamertjie nie, was dit absoluut hel om te probeer slaap. Die waaier wat daar was het niks gehelp nie en net die warm lug op ons geblaas. Hulle kan eerder die yskas uithaal en lugversorging insit en die prys bietjie verhoog. Ons was op die punt om te ry om ander blyplek te soek en het so vroeg ons kan die volgende oggend gery. Ons moes die handdoeke natmaak om onder dit te slaap, want dit was net te ongelooflik warm. Hulle sal ons nooit weer sien nie tensy daar lugversorging ingesit word!

Felt safe and it's very good value for money!
Lovely rooms, safe environment. Was very nice for the children. Good location and very friendly. Will definitely make use of them next trip to Cape Town.
I would stay at Young's Halfway House again. It is affordable and has sufficient facilities for a one-night stay.
Good value for money. Friendly service. Clean and safe. However, they will have to pay attention to small air conditioners because it is hot. The mosquitoes will have to be better controlled. Parking is very nice.
Very clean and comfortable.
Friendly staff. Nice and clean facilities.
A good stop and sleep.

The accommodation was very neat, but lacks air conditioning. It was terribly hot inside the room and not favorable at all.
Young's is neat and clean. You get what you pay for. However, it is located right next to the main street which causes a lot of noise during the night.
The place smells like tobacco smoke.
You can ask a little more and put air conditioners in the rooms.
The room was clean and tidy, but a little cramped. Coffee would have been nice in the room. The staff were very helpful and security is good.
