We offer comfortable accommodation set in a tranquil garden with a patio and barbecue area. Heaters and electric blankets ensure a cosy sleep during those cold winter nights, and also have air-conditioners. In summer, breakfast is served on the patio. In addition, a bar fridge, a microwave oven, a toaster and a kettle are at the disposal of our guests for their convenience in the communal area.

Facilities include, linen and towels, toiletries, tea and coffee. Wi-Fi and safe off-street parking. Laundry and barbecue facilities are available. Continental and full English breakfasts are available on request but are not included in our rates.

Our golf course, which is within 5 km of the town, is rated as one of the best 9-hole golf courses in South Africa. It is an oasis in the middle of the barren Karoo landscape and something that the true golfer must experience.

  • "Hospitality"

    18 August 2018

    "We were warmly welcomed to Graaff-Reinet with tea/coffee and chocolate cake. We were given a summary of the town: history, restaurants, etc. Breakfast was amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!"

  • "The softest bed in Graaff-Reinet!"

    16 June 2018

    "We just needed a stop-over en route to Knysna after a long 8 hour drive. Imelda was warm, welcoming and extremely knowledgable (and passionate) about the town. Our room was lovely and welcoming with the softest, most comfortable bed I've slept in in a while! Good shower, lovely breakfast, and the woman training to take over from Imelda was professional, friendly and quick to learn. Would recommend."

  • "Extra special. Enjoyed Thea's hospitality and caring very much."

    21 May 2018

    "All fine except shower room. Central hand basin tap assembly HAS to be tightened and both it's tap washers replaced. Having a bucket in the shower doesn't help if the basin taps stays dripping. Also shower floor dangerously slippery . Maybe a non slip,mat might help. Best regards, John."

  • "Haupt visit"

    26 October 2015

    "If you are looking for 5 star then it's not for you BUT if you are looking for genuine South African hospitality then I would absolutely recommend this B and B to anyone. It felt like we were staying with family. Tea and delicious cake on arrival. Imelda was so helpful and knowledgeable about what we could do there. The room was lovely and clean. Nice outside setting and garden. Our only regret is that we only stayed one night."

  • "A wonderful experience."

    23 September 2015

    "We're were welcomed very warmly and treated like family:) The rooms are beautifully decorated, beds comfortable and the breakfasts delicious! We were told which places were interesting to see and good places to eat and we followed the advice and had a great day exploring. Would definitely stay there again:)"

  • "One Night at Beau & I"

    05 July 2015

    "<p>I really think this is a really nice Guest House to overnight or stay for a couple of day if exploring Middleburg and its surrounds. The reason being that it is a home away from home in the sense that the owners Beau and Imelda, seriously go out of their way to make you feel completely at ease and relaxed and totally looked after. even while we were travelling to the guest house, Imelda would text us to ensure we were still ok as the light was fading and warned us of the dangers of Kudu at night on that stretch of road. when we arrived we were asked if they could arrange diner reservations in town. We were then treated to tea and fresh chocolate cake with Imelda. The room was very clean and comfortable and had all we needed to thoroughly enjoy our night. breakfast was hearty and everything was just warm and special in their home. So if you really want wholesome Karoo kindness and not 'break the bank' comfortplus lovely hosts... then there is only one choice... Beau &amp; I guesthouse !</p><p></p>"

  • "Awesome stuff"

    04 May 2015

  • "Time to Stop and cherish History"

    30 April 2015

    "The accommodation is good and comfortable and Imelda is the perfect host. Load-shedding unfortunately caused a bit of a problem, but thanks to gas stove this meant that the basics could still be enjoyed. <br />We will definitely recommend and would stay over again if and when the time comes.<br />Thank you from William and Kerry<br />"

  • "Beau & I March 2015"

    06 March 2015

    "<p>We had a lovely stay at Beau &amp; I. Imelda was the perfect hostess. Our room was spacious, comfortable and very clean. </p><p>Imelda wants to create a home from home ambience in her guest house, I believe she achieves this well.</p><p>Our only negative was that Safarinow had listed the establishment as self-catering which it is not. There are however sufficient restaurants and fast food outlets within walking distance.</p>"

    10 September 2014

    21 December 2012

    "Mooie en verzorgde B&B met zeer vriendelijke en behulpzame eigenaars. De restaurantjes die ze ons hebben aangeraden waren zeker de moeite. Dit stadje is een verdoken pareltje met een minder gekend NP dat zeker de moeite is om eens te bezoeken. Wij hadden maar een nacht voorzien en dat was mss wat weinig."

The house is well set up with good separation of living spaces and plenty of room for guests. Beautiful little town on doorstep to Valley of Desolation. Great coffee and vibe at Polka off main street."

  • "Thank you"

    29 May 2012

    "Would have loved to stay longer, missed all the historical visits to the town due to late arrival and early start the next day. Beds were comfy but we are not in favour of the open plan bathroom, and there was noise of traffic right through the night. Didnt get much sleep. Owners were otherwise truly lovely people, very hospitable."

    22 April 2012

    "Imelda est une excellente hôtesse, nous nous sommes sentis chez eux "comme chez nous". A notre arrivée un thé accompagné d'un délicieux gâteau nous attendait. Imelda nous a donné d'excellents conseils pour notre séjour à Graff-Reinet : restaurants et visites touristiques. Elle a été extrêmement serviable et ses petits déjeuners étaient copieux, excellents et artistiquement présentés. MH et JD à La Réunion"
