The place is very nice, i had a fun and the host was friendly and always attend to the guest
A lovely Place, with the most welcoming hosts.
I would definitely recommend it and look forward to going again
I found the place so refreshing and had to extend my stay mainly to the kindness of that family. Bankeveld House will always be my second home when I run my race in Cradle of Humankind.
The host was very welcoming, the place is clean and outdoors very refreshing, the breakfast was very delicious 😋
Thank you to Elsa for a lovely stay! The room was perfect, breakfast was yummy and the friendly hospitality was very welcoming. Will be back again soon!
Elsa was very helpful and accommodating, Very Nice place!
Fantastic Host very friendly and accommodating. We booked the upstairs luxury rooms. Very beautiful with a nice deep bath and shower a massive "dream" bed and widescreen tv. You can make your own coffee,tea or cappuccino in the room. It has a small balcony if you want to experience the outside breeze. A big lot with a view of the river valley. My son was on his bicycle the whole stay through.
You won't be disappointed you will be pleasantly surprised at this gem!
This venue is the wild in the in the city. Free open space with the birds that wake you up in the morning and the possible cry of a jackal at night. If you are fortunate enough you might spot the owl leaving his nest. There is no end to the hospitality of the hosts. Personal service and care is their motto. Here you are definitely at home away from home and the area afford the visitor the opportunity to enjoy other venues of great interest. Highly recommended.
They always say smaller companies give better service. I would say service was definitely an enjoyable facet of this stay. It was scenic and safe! Privacy is your own and the owners are always able to cater for your needs! Definitely will be going again. You have your own fridge as well as complementary tea and coffee inside your room!
Real value for the price you pay. Elsa is just amazing. Attention to every detail and request. Rooms are cleaned daily and have stunning old Victorian finishing.
I will always return.
