Bibi
The staff were extremely friendly, the breakfast were amazing. The staff came to apologize about 20 times for the loadshedding when it was out of their control. For those traveling or looking for a place to stay that is quiet and an at home feel I highly recommend it, it is not like a hotel room so please do not expect that.

What a wonderful welcoming little BnB. Close to the town and Treverton School. Such a peaceful, quiet, beautiful BnB. Brian and his wife welcomed us and other guests so gracefully. Thank you Sir 🙏🏼
Gracia Borchard
A lovely, friendly place! The bedrooms are neat and the beds are comfortable. We felt very welcome! Our car broke down and the owner even took us to the KFC for us to get our dinner, as we had not eaten. The next morning, the owner's wife made us a hearty breakfast and the owner took us to the car rental place so that we could continue on our journey while our car was being repaired. We had a very happy stay at "Big 5" and would definitely recommend it as a comfortable, friendly and affordable place to stay.
