Great stay when traveling with pets
I have stayed at Rusplek before. It is really great if you have pets traveling with you. The reception is friendly and the breakfast served was of a high standard. I found the grounds not as neat and tidy as before, and the soap and shampoo provided were very skimpy.

Hot, tired and unfriendly welcome
The reception staff were not so friendly to begin with. When we arrived at the room, there was no toilet paper. This is not acceptable if your guests traveled a long distance. After requesting toilet paper we were told that, "she" will bring it when "she" comes. The courtyard in front of the room was only cleaned after we arrived, while we were in the room. We had to go back to reception to find out about the wi-fi, only then we received a username and password with a complementary 1 gigabite date usage.

Leaky ceilings and bad coffee
Very friendly and helpful reception staff but the group of houses sit behind high walls and fences so one feels a bit isolated from the area? The main complaint was waking up with the gurgling of a leaky ceiling (from the bath above) Into the breakfast area whilst having your (rather stingy) single cup of plastic coffee?

'Bathroom'
The booking confirmation stated a Private bathroom with a jetted bathtub. The actual 'bathroom' was a tiny passage-like space across the bedroom, so privacy was compromised. It has only a shower and almost no movement space! I feel this is unacceptable, especially since an expectation was created. Nothing of this 'change' was mentioned upon arrival.

Comfortable and easy overnight stay.
We stayed over at Rusplek on our way to Cape Town. We arrived very late and the guesthouse staff were very friendly and accommodating to make our stay as seamless as possible. The facilities provided us with everything we needed to have a good night's rest to tackle the road the next morning. Thank you very much!

OK - I guess you get what you pay for
The room was ok, the bed was comfortable but the place is extremely noisy. The Bethlehem room is at the top of the stairs from Reception, and you can hear every noise in the house. If you want some good quality sleep, then this is not the place for you. Otherwise, it was clean, and the garden is well kept.
