Gemstone Guest House

We had such a lovely stay, calm environment, especilally with the rain we had, I wanted to swim, but the pool was not ready (seasonal) I am sure next time will be even better. Great service, central to everything that we needed. The ladies on site were such amazing hosts. We will be back - perhaps next time with the kids.

We had such a pleasant stay. The host was absolutely amazing, friendly, and made the stay feel like home. The space was clean and beautiful!

The accommodation itself was clean but this place needs a huge amount of maintenance and money spent on it. From the outside the facia boards are falling off. Our courtyard had weeds in the paving and a huge hole in the concrete about 50cm. We had to put a chair over it so we didn't fall in it. The braai grid was broken, which they obviously knew about as they provided a toasty braai grid broken into 2 pieces to place over the broken part. The bed was not the most comfortable and the kitchen cupboard doors were falling off the hinges when you opened it to look for kitchen items, of which there were very few and bad quality. They need to do an inventory and check items daily. There was a power failure after we arrived, but they only put the generator on 2 hours later (thank goodness we covered the hole in the courtyard) and they said it would be for 40 mins only as they didn't have much diesel. Surely within the 2 hours they could have bought more diesel as the petrol station is minutes away.
