132 guests' feedbackVery clean and tidy, very modern.
Perfect stopover between Johannesburg and Cape Town. Spacious, comfortable and safe parking. Communication with Marie via WhatsApp was great and was waiting for us on arrival.
Marie provided information on load shedding schedules early in the morning which helped a lot with our planning. She also goes out of her way to make it as convenient as possible in our (no power and water) existence. The rooms with their old world original wooden floors are much nicer and bigger than in the photos!
I wouldn't stay at any other place but Travelers Joy. Professional, hospitable and excellent service.
Additionally, I suggest doing something with the shower door, it bangs against the toilet and can break.
Marie received us kindly. Convenient arrangement and delivery of dinner by the restaurant at Travelers Joy. Thank you very much, Marie and Johan. Will definitely visit again if I ever travel in the direction again.
We spent the night at Travelers Joy on our way to Cape Town. Late check-in was not a problem at all and we were kindly received at the gate and escorted to our room. The family unit is spacious with a small bar fridge, microwave, cutlery and coffee/tea, as well as fresh milk and a mug of water. Lovely warm bedding and electric blankets for the cold! Secure parking behind a car gate. We had a nice and warm shower and slept, ready to continue the long journey. We would love to stay at Travelers Joy again. Thank you very much!
Friendly reception and very hospitable.
We only used as overnight accommodation. Everything was perfect. Electric blankets for winter are very convenient.
Pleasant experience. Good location. Calm atmosphere.
Clean, tidy and slept well.
Thunder very heavy on arrival. Was very grateful for a safe, warm place to sleep. Meal delivered to door by restaurant - very convenient.
Lovely character house with original 200yr old floors. Modern amenities, very comfy. Even has a small wind-pump filled reservoir for a cool down dip. Within walking distance of a great restaurant. We had a Collie with us that was welcomed and could run around freely. Great place!
Even during a power outage I was greeted kindly and escorted to my room late at night. Well done. Very spacious rooms.
Information provided regarding loadshedding schedules.
Marie was always available and helpful. Our room was 10/10.
When I first arrived Marie was waiting for me outside to great me. Electricity was off due to fault in Colesberg but she kept me updated. It was cold and rainy and one of the services they offer is you can order food for delivery to your room which was great. Steeped in history these rooms are actually a national monument, so quite the experience.
The rooms were beautifully clean, attention to detail was paid and we had a very nice stay. Thank you very much Marie!
We will definitely stay there again. Excellent service and facilities very convenient.
Whatsapp communication in advance and on the day of arrival. Hostess was very well prepared. Very friendly welcome. Room was like an oasis!
To ensure that guests get a good night's rest, the neighbour's dog that kept barking will definitely have to be looked after. It's not Travelers Joy's fault, but when you're tired and want to sleep and a dog keeps you awake it's hard. . Because of the dog's barking I will definitely not use the outstanding facility again.
The room was very clean, neat and beautifully decorated. The bed was super comfortable. Marie the hostess was amazing. I would highly recommend this as a stay-over or even a longer vacation destination. My large dog travelled with me, and the facility was able to accommodate him as well. Will definitely make this my go-to place to stay in Colesberg in future.
Marie welcomed us, and our dogs, very kindly. The room was well maintained and very comfortable. We will definitely stay there again.
Cute place. Well equipped, personal attention and help.
We stayed here on our way to our destination. It was clean, tidy, and safe. Will definitely stay there again.
We slept over on the way to Cape Town. It was very neat and clean and we were welcomed with open arms. It was a very nice overnight stay and we can recommend it.
Friendly reception, clean and tidy. Within walking distance of restaurants.
Safe parking, bar fridge to put things in and you could cool off in the farm dam swimming pool.
Marie is a wonderful host.
Will stay there again.
Friendly reception, clean and tidy, safe overnight halfway stop for travellers. Thank you very much. Appreciate you.
Very neat and clean.
Very spacious and tidy rooms, private and well located. Friendly service. Thank you very much.
The ancient windmill at the back of the premises is a real gem. The fresh water pumped in the summer should make the pond a lovely pool.
Stopped here for an overnight driving down from Pretoria to Cape Town, was a lovely room with clean and spacious shower.
The room is big and beautiful with everything you need. However, the problem was that there was no WiFi available and we therefore had to go to a restaurant with all our laptops and devices.
Very neat guest house with friendly staff.
In terms of preparedness with regards to the power outage, there is room for improvement.
Neat and clean environment.
The place is very neat and clean. Well appointed.
No Wi-Fi. I expected they would have. Very neat and was acceptable for one night's stay. Didn't know I already paid full amount. So it was awkward.
Clean. Large room. Close to main street and friendly staff.
It was a pleasant surprise when what we get is exactly as in pictures. Safe and clean. And my woes were very welcome. Even they had a great night.
Clean, safe parking and great hospitality.
Quiet area although the main road passes by at the front with trucks driving through the night. Very few TV channels.
The room was very clean and had everything you need and the bed was great to sleep on.
We were very kindly received by Marie. The room was clean and tidy and warm enough for the cold! Thank you very much!
Great hospitality. Friendly staff. All-round value for money and a memorable experience. Will definitely book again. Thanks!
Very safe, tidy accommodation and perfectly located to rest on the way from George to Pretoria. Thank you very much!
We booked a specific room that was advertised as a king size bed, and then due to other reservations were put in another room that had a very small bed. This was not completely acceptable for us, because I have a very tall man who does not fit on a regular bed. Furthermore, the visit was acceptable.
Our second visit. Very pleasant, friendly and comfortable overnight stay for our journey home. No problem when we had to postpone our booking for one week due to my husband's fall and injuries.
Very comfortable place to spend the night.
It was value for money. Very neat and clean. Braai area was available to braai and it was nice. Small improvements can be made such as installing a towel rail in the bathroom and putting an information leaflet in the room where people can see which DStv channels are actually available.
The person who received us refused to wear a mask due to the heat. We did have our masks on, despite the heat. Her behavior was totally unprofessional and inexcusable.
Quiet and peaceful environment.
Clean and tidy - nice outdoor seating.
Wonderful host! Amazing value for money.
The separate veranda was great and provided privacy.
People very helpful.
The accommodation was very welcome after a long drive and the air conditioning in the room made it pleasant. Marie's reception and friendliness were very welcome and we would recommend accommodation to any weary traveller.
Very nice overnight stay. Quiet, clean, tidy and top notch hospitality.
Very friendly place to stay overnight with more than what was needed for an overnight stay.
Comfortable and clean and friendly service.
Very friendly staff.
Recommend it to anyone.
Dame made us feel at home. Room was spacious and cooling was on, nice and quiet. Would stay there again anytime. Their meals were delicious.
Excellent for overnight and pet destinations!
The unit was tidy and clean. The hostess friendly and helpful. She also rendered all order arrangements nicely.
The reception was pleasant and our accommodation clean and convenient.
We were received very kindly and the rooms were clean, warm and very comfortable in the last convulsions of winter. We will undoubtedly spend the night here again to halve the long way to the coast. Also great to eat at the "Horse and Mill" restaurant.
My mother and I (and her lap dog) thoroughly enjoyed this stay. We were kindly welcomed and felt very safe. Thank you for clean, tidy and centrally located accommodation! We will definitely use Travelers Joy again.
We had a beautiful large room, clean and comfortable. It was very cold, so we appreciated the nice warm bed. We can recommend the guesthouse.
Lovely place to stay, had everything you could need to be comfortable and warm.
We were warmly welcomed, the unit was neat, clean and comfortable. We'll definitely stay there again and recommend it.
Clean, tidy, pleasant, comfortable and friendly service. Special thanks to Marie.
Very nice stay. Rooms clean and tidy. Enough bedding and slept well. Would recommend it anytime.
Friendly reception and neat and clean rooms. Well located near several restaurants.
We experienced the stay in Travelers Joy nice and quiet. It was within walking distance of places to eat which suited us well. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean, the overnight stay was like an oasis!
Nice and spacious. Quiet environment.
It was pleasant when there was air conditioning in the room.
Excellent halfway stop between Cape Town and Johannesburg, and I was warmly welcomed and shown around by Marie. Had dinner at De Plattelander, which is within walking distance of the guest house and enjoyed excellent lamb shanks. An early night in a comfortable bed set me up for another long day of travelling. Will definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a one night sleepover.
What a pleasant overnight stay. Lovely, cool room with air conditioning that turned the hot Colesberg into an oasis. Room extremely clean and comfortable. Will definitely try to spend the night there again on our drive to Stilbaai. Even our old Golden Retriever was home soon. Thank you very much.
Me, my husband and two small dogs slept over 1 night on the way back to Johannesburg. The service was good and hosts friendly. The room was spacious and comfortable. Parking was good. A good choice.
Good place if you only want to spend 1 night. Room is clean and facilities are adequate.
We were well received. The places are spacious and well equipped. Nice place to stay. Would definitely recommend it.
Place is neat and very well located.
The shower door did not close properly, but otherwise everything was perfect.
Well located and equipped. Friendly service. The unit was well equipped and clean with safe parking.
Thank you very much for welcoming us late in the evening.
Thank you very much for the kindness with which we were received and that everything was so well organized. We really spent one lovely evening there.
We arrived in Colesberg late in the evening. The managers arranged for us to get something to eat in town. We were very impressed with the good service and helpfulness.
See stars.
Very well appointed facility. Coffee and tea with additional crockery. Double bed and single bed. Mattresses comfortable. Air conditioning which helps a lot to ensure comfort on hot days.
Clean and tidy, good facilities (fridge and freezer). Friendly staff who receive people even after 24:00. Highly recommend.
Very friendly people and peaceful stay. Has everything one needs, clean and tidy.
We stayed overnight on our way to Cape Town and the accommodation is very comfortable, clean and everything you need. The hostess is very friendly. Overall very good value for money.
Friendly welcome after travelling was nice. Thank you very much.
The fridge would make a loud whistling noise every time we switched it one and it kept us awake. No facilities for washing dishes available.
It seems as if the owners are busy renovating the rooms. Currently, the first impressions are not good.
See star rating.
Thank you Marie for being so kind and friendly, waiting for us in the door! We had a lovely stay and we'll certainly be back!
The accommodation was very neat, comfortable and clean. We enjoyed a good night's rest. The reception was friendly and we felt very much at home.
It was nice, countrydise, friendly and clean with a spacious room.
Nice place to stay overnight with everything you need.
Excellent service and friendly reception and helpful.
Lovely place which was easy to find. They had everything that we needed and there was ample space for our vehicle and trailer behind locked gates. Perfect for an overnight stop between home and your final destination. Thank you for a lovely stay.
Marie was extremely helpful and the room was clean and dust free despite the fact that they were renovating. Comfortable bed ensured good rest. Secure parking a big plus. Feel free to also eat at the Horse and Mill, good food and atmosphere.
I can recommend staying at Travelers Joy. The rooms are neat and the service very friendly. It's in a peaceful environment.
For the money we paid, the room is not up to standard at all. If Travelers Joy wants to receive further guests, they will have to refurbish the room and bedding.
We had a wonderful stay. Everything was clean and tidy. The beds were very comfortable. It is very safe.
Thank you Marie for your quick and friendly service, we had a great stay.
Traveller's Joy is very close to the entrances and exits to the highway. It is clean and convenient to spend the night only secure parking. The reception was very friendly and we immediately knew where everything was.
The accommodation was clean and the linen too. The mattress just didn't sleep very well.
Friendly people. Go the extra mile to make guests feel at home. Thank you very much Marie! It was a wonderful experience.
See stars.
Our hostess called early in the morning to confirm our reservation. Due to adversity on the way, she went out of her way to make sure that one of the local restaurants' kitchens remained open, so that we could still have dinner. Lovely clean accommodation with personal service. Even cold water and milk in the fridge. We will come again, but this time we will book in advance.
We had a very comfortable and well equipped unit. However, there is peeling paint in the bathroom and on one wall. Needs a little maintenance, but otherwise very neat. Good value for money for overnight stay. However, the unit is well equipped for a longer stay as well.
Neat rooms, safe, close to main route and can order food from your room! Especially suitable for people with dog children.
Just loved the place, wonderful service and friendly people.
Great location and I had a wonderful overnight stay. Will definitely return.
I booked the blue room according to the photo and did not get the room. There is also not a swimming pool as was said.
It was a nice atmosphere and a good stay with a delicious breakfast. I will definitely stay there again. Well done!
Needs maintenance (cracked walls and peeling paint, untidy electrical wiring). Considering the wide variety of accommodations in Colesberg this these facts may impact negatively on the choice to stay here.
I was very impressed with the accommodation. The bathroom was clean and room tidy. The reception was also very friendly.
If 2 adults travel together they should perhaps not assume that we necessarily want to share a bed.
Returning from CPT we arrived later than planned. Our host was very accommodating and friendly. The room was very neat and clean. Loved the shower and pool after a long days travel. Would highly recommend the establishment!
Welcoming reception. Very clean and neat accommodation. Good location. Easy to find for someone unfamiliar with the area. Good value for money and safe parking.
When we arrived, tired after travelling 9 hours, we arrived at a closed door. We had to make various phone calls whether the lodge is still operating or what, as it looked deserted. Only after various telephone calls and waiting for 40 minutes, somebody arrived and booked us in. No apologies etc.
