Breakfast was good though the menu on offer needs more variety if someone is staying longer eg include crossaints, muffins, crepes every other day. Location was in a safe neighborhood though one needs transport to go to any of the shops. Pleasant and discreet staff. Owner was responsive to all emails in good time. Flexible with check out times. Had good aircon, nice little fridge provided in rooms.
Travelled with a baby hence the room needed a frequent touch up - no mops left nearby, regular linen change when spilt, move up breakfast time to 1000hrs for guests who are on holiday and trying to relax.

Location was perfect for our purposes to visit certain businesses and family and friends. The setting was serene and well catered for our needs. Staff were pleasant and very accommodating with a request for vegetarian breakfast.
Most amenities were available and very comfortable. One room had issues with the toilet cistern and that was addressed promptly. The only thing missing was hangers to hang clothing - that can be resolved with ease - thankfully we didn't really need hangers on this trip since we were not attending a wedding or formal functions.

I really enjoyed my stay, the facilities are great, staff is very friendly. If you're looking for a quiet place then this is for you. It felt a bit odd to not have the hustle and bustle of staff around you but you get used to it very quickly. great place to relax and unwind
The bathtub didn't fill up - not sure if it was the plug but it was a bit of a disappointment especially when its cold

Super cllean,very neat, safe area, lovely rooms. Would definitely recommend them.
The gas geyser shower. I really struggled with it even after reading the instructions on the wall. Either cold or burning hot. Maybe just better lights on the pathway around the house at night. But other than these fantastic overall.

Everything else about the place was perfect. The location was peaceful and beautiful. Perfect breakfast. Super clean rooms.
I waited for too long at the gate, waiting for someone to open after ringing the bell and calling more than 3 times. It was during the day, by the way. The gas geyser, I found it hard to operate.

Vanilla Guesthouse was lovely! The team are friendly and helpful and take care of you during your stay. My room was perfectly appointed and breakfast was delicious. It's such a bonus that they have a loadshedding solution in place and wifi is available at all times. Well done to the team =)
I noticed there was only Decaf Coffee Sachets available in the rooms - Perhaps there was a stock issue? Normal coffee would be great. Other than that, I cannot fault the team on anything.

The property is clean neat and tidy and very well maintained. I like the addition of the Swimming Pool for those hot summer days. The breakfast is served on time and very tasty.
there’s nothing not to like about the property.

Beautiful, safe accommodation with all the necessary amenities. Great breakfast and lovely staff.
The parking situation can be a bit disorganised when there are lots of guests with cars. Perhaps guests staying for longer stays shld hv an allocated parking bay which is blocked off by a traffic cone to ensure they are guaranteed a parking bay every day

Friendly staff, didn't get to meet the owner but was friendly and helpful enough through booking.com
The onions were not grilled, undercooked really. Not a fan of cheesy sausages... Boerwors would be nice!
