22 guests' feedbackGreat location for mountain bike enthusiasts.
Pennie and Ian Human are certainly some of the friendliest owners you can come across. Our expectations were far exceeded with the neat, well-equipped rooms, the beautiful gardens, clean swimming pool and the most delicious food. We have not been so spoiled with hospitality and a fabulous sheep on the spit on New Year's Eve, as well as socializing with other guests. Additionally, the bartender provided 5 star service. We don't have enough words to sum up this 4-day old-world visit; it was simply breathtaking. Thank you very, very much; we will visit again for sure!
Family business. Lovely stay.
We just stayed one night at the Homestead and it was positive. We enjoyed the "farm atmosphere" a lot, yet the Homestead offers more than one would expect from a 3-star hotel: pool, gym, large game room, 10-pin bowling (slightly primitive, but it has quite a character!), puzzles and even a library. If you want to get away from the city and don't expect much luxury, the Homestead is the perfect place.
See rating.
Was wonderful. Would maybe enjoy a little fridge in the room. I brought cold-drink from town and would like to keep it cold for personal use. Just a suggestion. Very nice, affordable quality accommodation.
Surroundings very beautiful, farm atmosphere creates a feeling of peace and quiet, dinner and breakfast excellent. Definitely a recommendation if you just want to get away and get some rest.
Nice farm atmosphere, friendly people, delicious food. Just an uncomfortable piece of gravel road that is bad after rain.
The Homestead is a home away from home, with well appointed rooms, undercover parking, cosy lounges with a big fire, a neat pub and scrumptious meals. Standing out above all was the warm hospitality and especially the incredibly good value. If there was any disappointment it was one thing only: we could see two strong "Homestead" WiFi signals, but they could not help us with getting connected. In today's world, travelers really require reaching their email, checking on business, weather, onward itineraries, bookings, etc. and to be without connectivity, yet knowing it was there, was a real frustration.
Tasty and healthy meals. Clean Rooms. Friendly staff and good service. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Homestead and will recommend it to anyone.
See stars.
If you haven't stayed at the Homestead, you haven't experienced genuine hospitality. Thank you very much for a wonderful weekend.
Route to The Homestead was unclear. GPS takes one into the field. The owner was very hospitable and friendly. The room was clean and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay.
It's a bit out of the way, but the delicious food and hospitality make up for it. Central and Northern Drakensberg are only 40 minutes away.
We had a great time here, and loved the warm welcome they gave us. The place is clean and food was delicious. Good value for money.
Surroundings promotes peace, kindness and enjoyment. We were refreshed and energised by our visiting the Drakensberg park. Enjoyed the great food and hospitality. Food more than six stars.
Great place to stay if you really want to do nothing but relax. Would have liked to have lunch on the premises - and since I couldn't, would not recommend a stay longer than 4 days.
It was a fantastic stay characterized by great food and awesome value for money. Hosts were very attentive, and my children enjoyed the relaxed environment.
A wonderful place to relax and get away from the busy world. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
The guest house is clean and meals were delicious.
Excellent in all regards.
Thank you for the wonderful and quiet. peaceful and restful weekend. We enjoyed our stay. Loved the Scottish influence throughout.
