Victoria Guest House

Victoria Guest House is a Victorian house situated in Richmond in the Northern Cape. The house is surrounded by a patio leading onto a beautiful garden with century-old grape vines.

Accommodation comprises two family en-suite bedrooms and one private en-suite bedroom. All rooms are carpeted and have tea and coffee-making facilities, electric blankets, wall heaters, and a TV. We also offer a scrumptious farm-size breakfast, at an additional rate, suited to the palate of the food connoisseur in an intimate dining room with a crackling fireplace.

The interior of the house is spacious and tastefully decorated with moulded wall panels and ceilings, as well as carpeted floors for comfort, and an original cosy Karoo fireplace. There is also a lovely huge back garden. At night, enjoy the peace and quiet of the small town with the only sound in the distance the chime of the Church Clock Tower.

"We arrived after dark and were well received. It was bitterly cold, but the room we used was neat, clean and well cared for.We did not eat there as we wished to leave early. The owner, Marlene,(I think, sorry) is a wonderful woman and we would have dearly loved to have sat and talked to her about her home, the area and the history of Richmond. The women working with her were very helpful and fine people.Thanking you,Gordon nad Molly Bailey"

"We had a very comfortable stay at the beautiful Victoria Guest House. The staff were most welcoming and efficient. Although the owner had a hip replacement recently she still made the effort to meet us! Highly recommended."
"Quaint guest house in quiet town"

"The guest house has an overall cozy feeling. Friendly staff with a family atmosphere. Despite the old-fashion styling, some modern luxuries are available such as DSTV."
"Comfortable and welcoming stopover"

"What a lovely old Karoo house. The room was big with a bathroom inside and though a bit outdated, everything was clean and comfortable. The host and staff were lovely and welcoming. Will definitely be staying here again when travelling through the Karoo."
"No stars"

01 January 2016

"When I search for Self-Catering establishments I expect SafariNow to vet places advertised as such.  Apparently not so.In Richmond the Victoria Guest House was a great disappointment.  The bathroom was a portion of the room partitioned off, with a toilet, basin and bath.  No shower.  And no real privacy either!No fridge, crockery, cutlery, etc. either that one expects for Self-Catering.The TV was to the left of the bed and difficult to watch.On the other hand the domestic help was very friendly and a welcome relief.Avoid at all costs."
"Beware of parking your vehicle at night"

27 September 2014

"The guest house is pleasant but even though they insisted we park the vehicle in a locked garage, the vehicle was broken into and cases of wine were stolen."
"Richmond warmth"

18 April 2014

"Friendly people, greeting us with warm rusks and coffee. The place met our expectations. Will recommend to others."
"Not great"

01 November 2013

"The bathroom arrangements are very unpleasant. A cubicle stuck in the corner, no shower, partitions don't reach the ceiling so uncomfortable for using the toilet. It seems that only one key exists per room, so we were expected to leave our rooms unlocked. On the day we forgot our room was not cleaned!! Breakfast was good but there was no advance indication that it is not included in the price, which is the default . The whole deal, then, is expensive for what you get by way of accommodation."
"Very nice place"

"Wonderful accommodation"

"After a long drive the Victoria Guest House offered what we needed - a well appointed room - a bathroom and a wonderfully comfortable mattress!"
"Wonderful"

"We spent a wonderful time at Victoria Guest House. Very friendly service, beautiful room and excellent breakfast! A heater or wall heater in the room we had will be an improvement in winter! It was very cold in Richmond (with snow)."

"We were overwhelmed by the friendliness and help we got at Victoria Guest House. We arrived late and despite of that, arrangements were made and we could safely store our trailer and car as well. We will definitely sleep over again."
"Our stay"

06 April 2012

"It was very comfortable and elegant. A little limited in terms of en-suite facilities, but the hospitality and excellent breakfast more than make up for this."
"not good"

01 February 2012

"The bathroom is far from your room and the cold water tap in the shower does not work. I had to shower in drips and drabs with just hot water. The parking is far from the house and in a garage that is full of junk and very small, could barely fit my car. I had too look for someone to help me get my car out of garage the next morning, because no one was available or in sight. Would definitely not stay there again. Not a good experience."
"Thanks"

23 January 2012

"I enjoyed the stay, it was neat. I received friendly, individual service. I would suggest the guest house maybe consider a fan in the room for hot days and nights; it is a little difficult to sleep when the room is hot. Thanks again for hospitality."
"Excellent"

"Excellent service, involved managment and dedicated staff. Everyone very obliging. Great country breakfast. A great stopover place between Johannesburg and Cape Town or for anyone visiting the Richmond book festival."
