Friendly and accommodating

The Rest-a-While guest house is accommodating and very friendly. I had to book 5 single rooms for the same night that made the booking. The guest house manager was so helpful. the guests that stayed there were also very happy with the accommodation and booked an extra night.

My expectations were exceeded.

All thanks goes to Ingrid Robbertze for waiting for us way past check in time due to unforeseen circumstances. My expectations were exceeded. The place is so clean from outside to inside. Most importantly the comfort of the beds. As someone who has a chronic back problem I slept well. I will definitely come again and tell others about it. Free WiFi is the cherry on top. Ingrid also...

Gasvrye en sorgsame eienaars. Lekker verblyf.

Tannie Ingrid het baie mooi na ons omgesien, lekker gebly en geswem. Pragtige kamers wat toegrus is met alles wat mens nodig het. Asemrowende mooi tuin, stil buurt, maar steeds naby aan alles wat mens nodig het. Dankie vir tannie se sorg, veral met ons fietse vir die wedren. Ons sien tannie gou weer.

Rest-a-While Guest House stay

Excellent place to stay whether it be for business or family. The facilities are always neat and clean and the rooms will cater for all your needs. They also make provision for load shedding and will accommodate special requests you may have. Very quiet area so it is a very nice place to stay if you need a bit of peace and quiet.

Relaxed time

What a wonderful experience. We received a warm welcome on arrival. We were quite a big group and were handled with ease. The rooms and amenities are fantastic. Everything is well equipped. Rest a while is the bar by which other guest houses can measure themselves. Thank you for a wonderful stay

A Tranquil and Cosy Escape

Welcoming hosts, and a cosy environment. Clean good sized rooms, and great facilities. It’s the small touches that make a difference (like a small container of milk in the room and a jug to refill the kettle. One really gets the sense that you are wanted and welcome in this guest house. Cannot recommend it enough!

Wat 'n wonderlike ondervinding. Vanaf aankoms is ons hartlik verwelkom. Inklok was vinnig en maklik. Die kamers was baie netjies en skoon en baie goed ingerig. Die lapa-area was fantasties toegerus en was lekker om die aand langs die swembad te kon ontspan. Dit was regtig 'n baie lekker ondervinding. Ek gaan dié naam bêre, en sal verseker weer daar gaan bly as ek in die omtrek is. Kan... Read More
