I arrived and was told “you’re the unlucky one. Your room’s aircon doesn’t work”. It’s the last thing you want to hear when it’s 35 degrees outside. The friend I was travelling with was told that “you’re the lucky one, your rooms air con is working”. What amazed me is that I was the person that made the booking and the payment. That said, the face clothes in my room looked dirty and stained to the point that I asked for new ones as I wasn’t sure that they were clean. I was told that maybe they were stains from previous guests make-up. My toilet hadn’t been flushed from the previous guest and there wasn’t enough parking on the premises.

We had a lovely one-night stay at this guest house, just a short drive up a hill from the main street (likely would be too far to walk this at night). Our room had beautiful mountain views, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was cooked on order in the cozy open plan kitchen lounge area and was delicious! Highly recommend staying here, great value!

We arranged an early check in and the guest house were very helpful and informative. Rooms were comfortable and clean. We encountered load shedding (power cuts) while we were there but we had been prepared so could still enter the property etc without issue. Overall a lovely place to stay within 15 minute walk from the centre of town.

Great little guest house

Maison d’ail was exactly what we were looking for as a quaint bed and breakfast. The rooms are clean and bright and each morning the breakfast spread is fantastic. The location is a bit farther from town (about a 10-15 minute walk) than I expected, so if you don’t have a car, keep that in mind.
