Peaceful spot after hot days work

Even a few days after flooding as the Orange River rose and flooded their lawns - the BnB was immaculate. Great service - friendly staff - rooms had a lot of creature comforts. Will certainly consider them as a future stay in Upington. Breakfast were awesome.

Das kleine Hotel liegt malerisch direkt Oranje River. Der Transfer vom Flughafen Upington war einfach organisierbar und gut. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und angenehm. Das Essen abends war sehr schmackhaft und von sehr guter Qualität. Auch das Frühstück ließ keine Wünsche offen. Insgesamt war meine erste Nacht in Upington ausgezeichnet und ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen.
