Lovely spot in Prince Albert.
Posted 21 Jan 2019 on HotelsJude and Brian are great hosts and have created a lovely oasis for their guests. Our room was small but was well equipped with a great shower and a nice patio outside. The rooftop deck was relaxing and great for star gazing. Try to eat at The Gallery and have breakfast at The Lazy Lizard. Be warned if you visit on Sunday almost everything is closed. You cannot even get gas. There was a bright light shining into our room each night that we could not turn off. I am sure if we had asked it could have been fixed but we kept forgetting. Great stop. The rooms are set back from the road so there is complete silence. There were even facecloths. Thank you both for your hospitality.

Hi Janet and Paul,
Thanks for your review,
As always we try to make sure your stay is very comfortable. So, had you mentioned the light was a problem we could have sorted it out for you.
We are lucky enough to stay in a quiet little Karoo town which is very safe. However, that also comes with a price! Sundays are still very much about family and friends therefore there is only 3 places to eat in the evening and a couple more during the day.
There are 2 fuel stations in town although one does keep office hours the other is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
I'm very happy you enjoyed your stay with us and peace and quiet and we hope to see you both again. Jude and Bryan.

Don't miss this!! :-)
Posted 8 Jan 2019 on HotelsAwesome stopover! We enjoyed a lovely night on the deck with the landlords and a great sundown. Next morning enjoyed the self made marmelades from the garden that Jude uses for her stunning breakfast. We loved it!

Friendly, efficient budget B&B
Posted 1 Aug 2018 on HotelsGood quality B&B, that has been running since 2014. Long enough that the owners (who emigrated from the UK), have sorted out any glitches, but recent enough so that the rooms and facilities still feel new.
Owners are friendly, and provide good local advice. It’s clean, and the bed is comfortable and a good size. Please take garden, and deck on top of room to take in the sun. Walking distance from the centre of town.
I struggle to find anything bad to say. Not a 5* hotel, but then it’s not intended to be.

Strong recommendation. Travelers Rest is a budget guesthouse, not a resort or a conference hotel. That said, it is among the best examples of a guesthouse that I have ever stayed in. Everything looks and feels new, from the comfortable bed, to the rooftop deck, to the paint on the walls. The owners Jude and Bryan are lovely people who will go out of their way to help you. Nitty gritty - the internet is quite fast for a satellite connection but it will drop out occasionally, as is to be expected in a rural area. Hot water is exceptionally hot and not lacking. Quiet at night with little to no noise from the road or other guests. I killed two crickets in my room over the course of several nights stay, but if that bothers you then what on earth are you doing traveling in a rural area anyway? Does not reflect on cleanliness; everything was fresh and clean. Again, strong recommendation for leisure or business travel.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the lovely review, Hope the rest of your stay in South Africa is fantastic.. Your so right those Crickets get everywhere especially in the arid Karoo..
Take care
