The Rasmus

Beautiful setting, stunning room, well-equipped with attention to detail. The restaurant was fabulous, ate dinner twice there and both times were superb. Breakfast options very limited, but still very tasty. I loved the staff, attentive and professional in a relaxed sort of way, handling everything from check-in to luggage to restaurant service comfortably in their stride. Special compliments to Joe, the chef, for his warm mannerism and huge smile!

Really just a few small things…turning off the very busy road into the property is challenging and the driveway is in poor condition. Signage not very visible at night. Room patio furniture was broken so sitting there not possible.

The Staff were very friendly and kind.

For our Breakfast sitdown at 07h00 there was only one waitress, we told Reception staff the previous day with check- in that we have to leave by 7h25 the next morning for an appointment, so that they can at least assist with our Breakfast order for the nexr morning. We were told there should be no problem if we are down at 07h00, by 07h18 nobody even took our tea/coffee order or even tried to assist with our Breakfast order.... There was only 3 other guests sitting down so we left the lodge with any drinks or meals....... The reason we chose this lodge in the first place was because the rate included Breakfast

The place is peaceful and tranquil. Great big garden with benches to relax. A huge Koi fish pond with different species. They have an in-house chef, and they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There is electricity ALL the time even during load shedding, which is a big selling point nowadays. I stayed for two nights. First, the towels were green in colour, although very clean and fresh, that might have been the only thing that put me off. On the second day, the towels were changed to white ones, which appear cleaner, which is just a personal preference, honestly, nothing to write home about.

I think only breakfast is inclusive, and the place has a liquor license for those who like to indulge in the waters of immortality. I stand to be corrected.

Everything else is great, I would definitely recommend the place any day. 10/10

Nothing.

The staff were superb. Friendly, even came to unblock the shower 5 minutes after I called. Let me check out later for a small fee, which I appreciated massively. Food was great quality. Room massive, and we'll equipped. Thank you for the fridge to keep my Black Lables and wine cold.

Chef would cover all food dishes in black pepper(dinner and breakfast) like they used parsley to make all dishes look 'nice' in the 90's. Not everyone eats pepper. They should not do this. It doesn't make the food look nicer. Rather let a customer add it to their food if they want. Food was tasty without this. Service in the restaurant was a bit slow, so not sure what happens when the restaurant is busy. Hugely annoying, loud woman at a group table. Even the other couple sighed from relief when she finally started eating, and we couldn't hear her anymore. Wished it had a pool, then I would stay in summer too.

Everything, it is a lovely place, with friendly staff and amazing food! It is a popular little places as people came in and our for lunch and dinner, but rightfully so as the food really is amazing there! The coffee is delicious and the staff were so helpful! Hubby and I just needed a weekend off from the kids and the staff respected that and gave us our space and brought everything right to our room! Amazing place! Amazing staff!

My only complaint is that the towels in the bathroom were quite hard, maybe put them in the tumble dryer or new towels, there is absolutely nothing to complain about besides that!

The location to the various sight seeings due to the highway connections around the property. The absolutely beautiful Koi collection!

Parking is far off. We carried all our luggage up the stairs to our room. On departing in the morning 2 days later there were the manager and two male staff standing around who did not offer to help us with our luggage. Breakfast was very slow in serving as there is no buffet. We had to ask for coffee... ask for orange juice ask for more jam and butter..

Small, intimate hotel, with exceptional service and hospitality. The room was gorgeous, comfortable and bigger than expected. If we're ever in that area again it definitely would be pur first choice of hotel

When I went to shower at first the water was ice cold, but after contacting reception the problem was resolved. I didnt like the idea of a set menu for breakfast, we prefer buffet style but that's to everyones own opinion.

Beautiful and comfortable room, the room smelt so fresh and incredible. Location was central to where we were travelling too. Very attractive property! Staff were very obliging when I requested some fresh milk for in room coffee. LOVED IT and would stay again. Lovely breakfast too.

Tiles is the shower felt a little slippery so would advise to be cautious and would have loved to see a Nespresso machine in the room. I feel the caliber of hotel could have this convenience available. Other than that, the Rasmus is one of the loveliest places I've stayed :)

This place is simply a hidden Gem within the hustle and bustle of the city. The staff provide such an amazing warm welcome from the beginning. We arrived very early, I just came from the hospital and they went out of their way to get our room ready immediately and they made sure we were comfortable. The rooms are amazing, the size of the room and the comfortable beds made this place perfect. We usually prefer hotels but this guesthouse definitely changed our minds. Although its next to very busy roads, don't let that stop you, you don't hear the traffic. The outside area is very peaceful and beautiful.

Absolutely nothing. I cant wait to go back
