Rigtig fint til prisen

Virkede rigtig fint til en enkel nat på farten. Den ene seng i stuen var ikke så god at sove på og meget kort. Havde nok været mere egnet til 4 voksne, og evt. 1-2 børn. Men til prisen var vi egentlig rigtig tilfredse, og det føltes trygt og hjemligt. Lille hyggeligt hus i forlængelse af B&B.

An unique experience

For our one night stay, we got the whole cottage for our use, even though we booked for 2 adults. It came with 2 rooms. One with a queen bed, another one with 2 single beds. The queen bed is comfortable for a good night sleep. Netflix video streaming was provided for the living room TV. This is really nice to entertain us for the evening. The house is fence up and gated to give a sense of safety. But, anyway, the area is relatively safe.

Wonderful stay

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Impangele Guesthouse. Nicolette is a lovely host who runs the place with a lot of passion and has plenty of tips for trips in the surroundings. Breakfast is a blast- huge, homemade and absolutely delicious. The rooms are beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean and there's even Netflix. The location couldn't be better, five minutes on foot from the main street and with plenty of restaurants within walking distance.

Enjoyable and affordable stay

Nicolette is a great host, and we did enjoy our stay a lot. It is very affordable, and the Protea room is beautiful and fully equipped. I was surprised to even see a small microwave in the room. The breakfast was very nice, and the outside seating area is lovely, with a beautiful view of the mountains. We will definitely go back for either the guesthouse or the self catering cottage

Bien

Chambre correcte , simple, propre, mais nous avons eut froid car au molis d'aoûy c'est l'hiveret les nuits sont très fraiches. Le radiateur allumé pourtant toute la nuit n'est pas efficace. L'hôyr Nicolette est très sympathique et de bons conseils pour les visites. Petit déjeuner très bon et copieux.

Visit Impagnele ! Now ! 😀

My wife and stayed overnight at Impangele on route towards the west coast. We had chosen arbitrarily and were abolutely delighted ! We had found a true gem. The owners have recently taken over and they are doing a fantastic job. They could not have been more obliging, friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay enormously and we plan a longer stay to explore Swellendam more thoroughly next time we travel to South Africa. We thoroughly recommend Impagnele. You will love it ! Don't hesitate.

Cozy B&B

Pleasant (one night) stay at this B&B. Dave was very accommodating, and was kind enough to prepare a take-away bag full of food to take with us in lieu of breakfast, as we had to depart very early. We greatly appreciated that.

Host was nice and the sheets were clean but...

Didn't expect very much for the price. Facilities are minimal, which is fine and at least the sheets were clean. But the cottage does feel like it needs a good clean. There is a lot of dust under the beds, on the furniture, etc. Plates in the kitchen cupboard still had food on them. No dish soap available to wash them off even. Some of the plug points weren't working. Won't stay again. Won't recommend.

A comfortable, special place to stay.

This is owned by a lovely couple who have created a welcoming home that they positively enjoy sharing. We really enjoyed the ambience and appreciated the unique decor. We wished we could have stayed longer and unreservedly recommend this place for anyone who likes staying in an individual place with special features.

Basic, no nonsense, very good value

Very good, basic self catering room comfortable for a family of four. Fully equipped kitchenette incl appliance, crockery, cutlery (but missing teaspoons?), pots and pans, and free wifi, decent beds and wall panel heaters in all rooms very handy in winter. Could have provided better bathroom amenities (e.g. we had shampoo/conditioner but no soap for the basin).

Não voltaria

O hotel está bem localizado, num bairro tranquilo próximo às principais avenidas. Os proprietários são muito simpáticos e atenciosos, porém o quarto estava muito empoeirado, havia sujeira embaixo das camas, não havia box no banheiro e a aparência podia ser melhor. Eu comprei um quarto "luxo" , porém não foi assim que me hospedei. Café da manhã muito bom, porém eu Não voltaria.
