Uniek en vars, skoon met meer as genoeg warm komberse vir die koue Augustus. En fantastiese etes by die Canteen en Coffe

Dis uniek en so kreatief bymekaargesit! Ons het die avontuur so baie geniet. Die kinders was in verwondering.

Ek besef dis die tronk, maar dalk net n hakie of twee in die badkamer om handdoeke op te hang?

Once off, quirky, but not for me.

5.0

Nothing. Not my cup of tea.

Dark, cold and the bathroom entrance creeping through a hole in a wall...not on! Heating totally inadequate. Wooden beds creak all the time waking everybody. Could at least have a microwave.

It was a different and surpeising experience. Everything you need is there. It was clean and the decor perfect. Will definitely advise others to stay here.

What an experience.

10.0

What an experience. When we arrived in Britstown we were worried, the community is extremely poor. But what a surprize the old jail is an experience we loved it. The food at the restaurant was fantastic. The chef Thembinkosi was so friendly. Would recommend it.

The cold, not that people can do anything about it. The rooms and beds were warm.
