Reviews

  • "Comfortable stopover"

    22 March 2018

    "A very friendly and accommodating reception. Very comfortable accommodations. My only gripe was the shower which showed signs of a damp problem, without a door there is a significant leak onto the bathroom floor. I slipped on the spill and very nearly bashed the small table in the bathroom against the shower panel. I believe something must be done to rectify this, its just a matter of time before there is a serious accident."

  • "Location"

    10 December 2017

    "Stay was ok, location great easy access to highway as that was our reason for staying over. However no hairdryer, bed was very uncomfortable and we couldnt get out of the gate when we left very early, first had to call our host for the code to open the gate. I think this could have been communicated better. Overall we got what we needed"

  • "Excellent stop-over"

    19 September 2017

    "We were received warmly and extra care was taken to ensure our stay with our young baby was pleasant. The bed was very comfortable and there was full dstv available to unwind . The place is secure and spacious, the perfect place to spend our afternoon. It was quiet when we needed to go to sleep early and we were able to leave in the middle of the night without a hitch. Will definitely recommend this to friends and family travelling between Gauteng and the Cape!"

  • "Beautiful Guesthouse in Colesberg"

    03 May 2017

    "We were only there for a short overnight stay. We ere warmly greeted by Mynhardt and at once felt at home. The rooms are lovely and the beautiful big garden for the dogs was perfect. Mynhardt went the extra mile for us when we needed a vet and doctor and made the appointments for us."

  • "Great shower, comfortable bed"

    18 January 2017

    "I enjoyed my overnight stay, although Colesberg is quite bleak. My room was spacious, with comfy bed, a big shower. There is an aircon, fridge, tv with Mnet. Best of all, it is a dog-friendly establishment."

  • "Herb Garden Scrap Yard"

    09 September 2015

    "Whilst the rooms were comfortable and the people friendly, there was so much old junk lying around that one felt as if you were in a scrap yard.<div>The decor was old and tatty. I could not rate this place above a 2 star establishment.</div>"

  • "Nice place to stay"

    05 January 2015

    "Good place to stay in Colesburg. Nice service and well maintained . Braai and proper self catering facility is missing at this location. Overall it is nice place for a night haul ."

  • "Lovely little place"

    29 December 2014

    "The guest house is beautiful. We had the privilege of staying in the new family room which was stunning. The owners and even the two lovely dogs were welcoming and friendly. We will definitely stay over again on route to the Western Cape.Thank you for your hospitality."

  • "Lovely stay"

    27 December 2014

    "We enjoyed a lovely stay at your establishment. Even though we arrived 2 hours before check-in time, our room was ready and available to us. This was great as we had our 13 month old with us who needed to get out of his car seat! We will definitely be visiting again. God bless."

  • "Fantastic"

  • "Good"

    "Good"

  • "Clean, convenient but a bit unprofessional"

    02 January 2014

    "The place is convenient, clean and calm for a one night sleep over but we had an uncomfortable experience. We booked 2 self catering units and we ended up getting two regular units which created a problem for us. The owner of the place apologized and indicated it was a human error on the booking side and gave us the main kitchen of the restaurant. But that was a bit uncomfortable for us as we reached late in the evening and also obviously could not prepare our breakfast."

  • "Great stay at Herb Garden GH"

    01 January 2014

    "An awesome overnight stay between JHB and CT. The hosts went an extra mile to make us more comfortable. Rooms equipped with a tv and much needed bar fridge in the Karoo. Nice little town.... friendly people."

  • "Everything we required were there. Three stars will earned if neater."

    09 January 2013

    "We really enjoyed the stayover, despite the overall impression of neglect. At this higher than normal price one would expect a much neater environment, for example the reception, the stoep and the swimming pool. The carpets and the upholstered furniture will also do with a thorough steam clean."

  • "Very nice and comfortable"

    30 December 2012

    "The Herb Garden was a very welcome and comfortable stop over on a long drive from Cape Town to Johannesburg in the heat of summer. There is even a swimming pool if the temperature soars too high."

  • "Appalling facilities"

    26 September 2012

    "We were not able to spend the night and had to move to other more suitable accommodation in Colesburg. A complete disappointment - the guest house is painted in glowing terms on the website however, the reality is shockingly different."

  • "Basic room"

    20 May 2012

    "Neat and clean, but not self catering. Only a kettle and fridge, no microwave or cuttlery. Directions to address were very poor."

  • "Very nice"

    15 February 2012

    "Very nice and comfortable. A nostalgic but also modern room. Will definitely return and recommend to anyone."

  • "Very comfortable stay"

    05 January 2012

    "The rooms were very comfortable and very clean. They provided all we needed to make our stay there enjoyable. There was only one problem - the water pressure was so low that the water literally dripped out of the shower head. They should really have this fixed!"

  • "Herb Garden Guest House"

    04 January 2012

    "My sister, elderly mum and I stayed one night on a stopover from Cape Town to Jo'burg. The room was very comfortable and clean. The en-suite was clean and had an ample supply of lovely towels - a good night's rest and lovely shower the next morning was great. We opted not to stay for breakfast, although on reflection would do on another stopover as it smelt and looked wonderful. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Herb Garden is a perfect stopover or stay for a few nights before moving on. I would recommend it to other friends and family, and will be back during 2012. Thank you."
