"Very nice space with interesting furniture and well equipped. Only problem was that power went off at about 9pm, we couldn't find the db box and the contact person didn't answer his phone. So no power or lights for the rest of our stay!"
"It's really royal"

"We stayed there to spend a night on our way back to Joburg. John was very friendly. The place has big rooms, a fireplace a fully equipped kitchen but above all you will find a vinyl player plus a big collection of records. We loved this place."
"Totally our cuppa BnB Guest House"

15 October 2013

"We loved it. Antiquity in true South African / Victoriana tradition. Large rooms, shabby chic yet extremely comfortable. Self Catering has everything you need for overnight stop but rather stay two at least. The gramophone and 33RPM records are enough to keep one absorbed for days."
"Homely atmosphere"

"What a pleasantly surprising transformation Richmond has undergone since our last visit in 2008! The accommodation was lovely and the service friendly. Add to that a choice of quaint restaurants and the stay-over here becomes a must for any road trip to the Cape."

"Lovely town"

11 January 2012

"Wat 'n pragtige dorpie. Wens ons was vroeg daar om langer al die huisies te verken. Ons slaapplek was netjies en baie gerieflik. Sal graag weer daar wil bly. Beautiful town. Wish we arrived earlier to stay longer and and get to know the houses. Our accommodation was neat and very comfortable. Would want to stay here again."
