    The property has all the historic charm of 1895 Kimberley, but it’s definitely been better maintained than the rest of the City in the last century. Breakfast was great, staff were accommodating and helpful and it had all the necessary amenities.

    Breakfast was superb. I probably had 4 cups of the delicious coffee. Beautiful antique style.
  • Andrea

    Anuschka was a wonderful host. She was considerate and helpful. The guesthouse is a beautiful old building, wooden floors, high ceilings and immaculate. It is centrally located on a busy road so not conducive to evening strolls, perfect for those...
