8/10 Very good

Yes, very nice, would recommend.
The guesthouse was great overall. The room was clean, comfortable, tea and coffee provided, and the staff were really friendly, hospitable, and engaging. No backup power for loadshedding though, so the wifi dropped and the shower was cold. Not really their fault that there's loadshedding, but the lack of generator or emergency lights could be frustrating? Overall though a comfortable overnight stay and reasonably priced.
