Wonderful stay in Graaf-Reinet

Absolutely loved this B&B. Spotless, spacious, well appointed with lovely outside seating, a little plunge pool and a very gracious hostess. Very close to the main sites in Graaf-Reinet. Secure parking and good wifi. Look no further - I only wish we stayed for more than 1 night!

Average sleepover

It was a very hot day and the aircon was just not suited for the room. Was very uncomfortable. Host was great. Average room in a typical rural bb. TV faces the opposite side of room. Not ideal.

Beautiful, Quiet and Quaint

Our time at Rietjiesbos was very pleasant and would thoroughly recommend. The room is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean throughout and has the added bonus of satellite tv. To add to the charm is an idyllic garden outside the front of the rooms. The hotel it self is located in a very quiet road with no through traffic and is situated a few minutes from the main road and in a perfect spot for the Valley of Desolation and Camdeboo National Park. The host was extremely accommodating and offered us the largest room on site which was extremely appreciated. My only suggestion is a sliding door on the toilet/shower to add more privacy.

Cozy Hotel in the heart of Graaf-Reinet

Room was very clean and comfortable, and near to everything in Graaf-Reinet (although the town is small). Staff was very friendly and helpful, helping us with booking of our restaurant for dinner. Breakfast was really delicious too. We really enjoyed our stay.
