Helpful, friendly staff. Well kept rooms and love the new look, breakfast was delicious and am happy to see they reverted back to an English breakfast. Am glad to say this is one establishment that do not lose staff members like most others I stay in. I hope the owner appreciates them.

Fantastic stay

I had a Great stay and the staff were very friendly and help full. 

The room I was put into was perfectly suited for me and very comfy. I will definitely be using this guesthouse again in the upcoming future.

Exelent staay

The management makes you feel like they are doing you a favour to let you stay here. Very old and not maintained,stained towels,cracked basin,no wi fi in the room,extremely noisy plumbing when you flush the toilet,tiles cracked,no milk in the room.

NOT worth the money.

We checked in to Fawncastle as a school sport group. I booked way in advance and tried to contact them on numerous occasions via email with no response. On our arrival we were greeted warmly. Our food was also good although the portions was a bit small for a group of 25 hungry kids. However everything turned sour when some conferencing people arrived. We got some dried out ribs (about 2 racks for 30 people) and some gem squash. Not nearly enough! We had to go buy more food for the kids. The next morning we got no breakfast. We tried reaching a manager to no avail. We eventually snuffed out someone in the office , which was filthy as he ate and slept in there (on a chair). He had no anwers for us and we left with a bowl of Corn Flakes each. The establishment is also definitely not 4-star graded like they advertise. I couldn't even find them on the Grading council of SA's website! There are way better places in the surrounding areas.

Good start...bad ending!

This visit was such a good reflection of why to use trip advisor. The beds and pillows were of the antiquity and quality to suit a coal museum. The room was naked of any niceties, and when we went to beg a jug of milk a hair dryer and later an adapter, we thought it would be very pleasant to have a glass of wine from the advertised cocktail bar. Unfortunately the estate has been converted into an AA meeting club. Whilst I support AA I see no reason for everyone to be so miserable. This bed and breakfast is certainly one to be on your must miss list! 

Read tripadvisor before booking

The room was dirty and dingy. The shower and toilet was disgusting. The aircon switched on itself during the night making a huge noise (I was so scared, it was spooky), I switched it off and an hour later it switched on again, I then unplugged it after searching for the plug point. I will never stay there again. 

Dirty

Interesting stay. A few little housekeeping glitches. Room very clean and lots of plugs but remember to take your own adaptors, hairdryer and soap for the bathroom. Very conveniently situated to the center of town and very close to Shongweni Club.
