In our 4 week touring holiday of SA we have not had such a lovely welcome to a guest house as we did here. You really felt that you had arrived home and being greeted by long lost friends. We booked this purely by accident after trying to get in La Plume for 3 nights and them only being able to do 2. As it was our first trip to SA we were trying to get the hotels/guest houses with a restaurant for an evening meal so as we did not have to go out in the evening or drive anywhere. We were shown around the lovely property and to our room, for unfortunately only one night! And the daughter of the owners explained everything to us including giving us all the information for the area which was great and saved us having to hunt out the tourist information centre in town. The room was spotless clean, comfortable bed, decent shower, had a mini fridge stocked with lots of different beers, wine and soft drinks (not free, an honesty bar)! The house itself is such a lovely property and so nice to have breakfast in the dining room, all beautifully laid out. The owners were always present and chatting to their guests, calling them by their first names and I am ashamed to say I can not remember theirs, I have always been terrible with names, but I will remember their faces and their welcome for a very long time to come. There are 2 really good restaurants within a short and sale walking distance, we ate at Nostalgie which was good and very quirky but Jemmimas also looked very good and of course I believe their were other restaurants in town. Would highly recommend if you want the feeling of staying with family and friends. Lovely swimming pool area also and ideal base for doing all the things in this area.

First impressions of De Denne were excellent, the setting is beautiful, and our room (and our friends' room next door) each had a seating area outside and overlooked one of the pools. The sunset and then the stars were stunning. We had dinner at De Denne on our first night which was very good. Reasonably priced and very good service. Our first breakfast was good ... a small buffet selection was set up, and we were also able to order cooked food from the breakfast menu. However, on our second morning, we went in to breakfast and sat down. I asked the lady helping us if I could order from the cooked menu, as we all had the previous day, and was simply told 'No'. I was directed towards the buffet food and told that was what was available that day. There were no bowls for the cereal or yogurt so I asked for a bowl, and was handed one a few minutes later by the same lady who didn't even look at me when she handed it over. A little while later she then offered me the menu to order some cooked food, but I declined as I had already eaten something else by then. The lady then asked me 'If I was really okay or just saying that'. To be honest this spoilt the stay a little as I felt I was an inconvenience ... and I am sure this is not how you would want guests to feel.

We had an amazing one-night stay and Anzue is the hostess with the mostest! The bedding was beyond comfortable, despite the cold weather we were more than warm enough, we were able to have a great braai under the stars and the sheep at the guesthouse really provided you with that farm feel. Would recommend for large groups OR a break away from city life.
