What people say

The service at Rusthuiz Guest House was fautless. The most welcoming and helpful team we experienced in South Africa. The team were fantastic in recommending restaurants and managed to secure us a table at late notice. All staff at Rusthuiz were a pleasure! The house is also beautiful and warm and the rooms immaculate. The rooms are very well equipped and spacious, and very homely- a lot of thought had gone into the finishing touches such as a mini medical kit in the bathroom and a very full we.
