I was met by the owners who were very warm and friendly. They welcomed me to their beautifully appointed and decorated establishment. The location of the guest house was very convenient and central and I found the room to be very comfortable with an excellent bathroom with a shower and bath. I would highly recommend this place for your next stay and would definitely return when I next visit the area.

From the very first phone call to the last goodbye, Denzil and Gys were thoughtful, considerate and accommodating, way much more than one would hope hosts could ever be. The BnB is a veritable treasure trove including the presence of Denzil and Gys. Lovingly decorated, full of inspirational signs, quotes, books etc the BnB is a haven of tranquility in and amongst the many collectibles, memorabilia and antiquities. Delicious breakfast, warm comfortable beds and attentive service - all adds up to a fabulous stay.

FANTASTIC! Gys & Denzil are the most gracious hosts. They open their home and their hearts, creating the most hospitable reception with grace and love. From the phonecall at 7pm on the day before arrival making an emergence last minute booking, to our arrival, everything during our stay and up to the last minute of our departure, they were attentive and gracious hosts. This was simply one of my favorite stays. We came for work which was a last minute booking so everything had to be done quick and they made it easy and pleasant. I HIGHLY recommend you pay them a visit! We came as clients and left as friends. I felt like we have known them all our lives. Easy going, comfortable and delightful. WE WILL BE BACK! Thanks for sharing your home and your love with us.
