  • "Shocking!"

    30 September 2017

    "The owner did not feel it important to welcome us in person. We were placed at a room next to the restaurant with noises until 2:30 am with other rooms available away from the noise. We waited an hour for our food at the Krip restaurant yet there was only three tables. The blinds at the windows broken as well as the warm water tap in the bathroom. I won't recommed it."

    09 May 2016

    "<p>Must say, I was really impressed with the accommodation at Marina's Guest House. The room was not to my expectation as it was bigger than I had assumed. The staff members were friendly and I had a nice lekker pizza at the restaurant</p><p>Overall it was an amazing experience. Would definitely stay there if I were to travel on the N1 again </p>"

  • "Stop over"

    28 September 2015

    "My wife and I had a pleasant stay overnight on our way to Cape Town. The place was neat and the staff were friendly. We had a very good meal at die Krip restaurant"

  • "Dreary accommodation and casual service"

    10 March 2015

    "The accommodation was adequate and clean but I found the whole tenor of the place dark, dingy and dreary. Although helpful enough, the staff were rather casual in their attitude. When I arrived, I had to wait a while for someone to check me in. Breakfast was also very unexciting in terms of choice and quality and again, the guests had to wait for milk, jam, butter etc. In its favour: there was an effective air conditioner in the room and the place is attached to theonly restaurant open at night in the town."

  • "Charming little oasis in the Karoo"

    11 January 2015

    02 January 2006

    "We were pleasantly surprised. We have received a warm welcome. The room as well as the bathroom were spotless clean. We normally do the long stretch to CT in one go, but due to an addition to the family and a Golden Retriever as companion we had no choice but to stay over. We will definetely consider Marina's Guest House in future. Ps. the Karoo lamb chops at the diner next to the garage around the corner were superb!"
