Detailed Reviews
We stayed at the beautiful and comfortable 10 Caledon Street Guest House in George in February 2023 and were made to feel very welcome by the friendly host - Jan. This Guest House is set in a beautiful suburb of George - where we felt 100% safe strolling to and from the nearby restaurant for dinner, at night. We also took a stunning walk the following morning and discovered a beautiful nature reserve just up the road from the Guest House. Our room was comfortably appointed and our breakfast devine. Can highly recommend 10 Caledon Street Guest House. We will not hesitate to stay here again.

What a lovely experience. Jan, the host is kind and considerate, the staff friendly and my garden terrace room was spacious and comfortable, with a patio to boot, allowing me to enjoy the beautiful garden. It really was a safe and tranquil home base to return to during the few days spent in George and I highly recommend this establishment to anyone visiting the Eden district area for business or leisure.

Great venue and an awesome place to stay. The owner Jan went over and above during my stay in George and I would really recommend this venue. He and his teams attention to detail made my stay like a home away from home. Thanks Jan. See you on the next trip.

My wife and visited George in December of 2020 from Switzerland. We were drawn to the styling of the guest house when we searched online - and were pleased to find that the reality was even more lovely than the advertising. The home has been beautifully renovated and furnished with great taste and attention to detail. The owner was extremely hospitable and the breakfast was generous and of great quality. We hope to be back on our next visit to the beautiful Cape! 5 Star.

We stayed here for 2 nights in February as part of our trip on the Garden Route. The house is beautiful and is an oasis of calm in a busy town. It is in a good location and is within easy walking distance of several restaurants. There are several rooms, all appear quite large. Our room was on the first floor and had lovely views of the garden with a big balcony and chairs. The room had a lovely comfortable bed, great decor, a desk and a comfy chair. The bathroom had a separate shower and a bath with lovely towels and toiletries. Just one small thing wrong was that there was only electrical socket that we could find near the bed and it was difficult to reach. But that was the only thing I could criticise.
The public areas were beautifully appointed - lovely large rooms with fabulous paintings and other artifacts. There were quite a few paintings of famous women. There was a great lounge with a zebra rug, a conservatory, a breakfast room and a terrace outside in the garden.
Breakfast was excellent, well presented, and the choices were good. The quality of the food was excellent.
I would like to say a special thank you to Francois who was looking after the guest house when we stayed there. He was very efficient and welcoming. When we arrived I was not feeling very well and he was kind and concerned. I became more unwell during the evening and he was kind in providing me with lots of ice and was happy to help in any way. After about 24 hours I was feeling better and he commented about my extra colour. He was so lovely and friendly. I felt dreadful and felt bad that I wasn’t up to being chatty or sociable when I arrived but he was really understanding. He did an excellent job I being the host in the absence of the regular manager.
I would thoroughly recommend this guest house.

Thank you so much for your 5-Star rating and making the effort and taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review. We must sincerely apologise for the delay in responding to your kind words and praise of our property and the management thereof. It is a pity that we were not in the country when you stayed with us and it is truly unfortunate that you were of ill-health during your stay. We are pleased to hear that Francois was able to take such good care of your needs to ensure your wellbeing. Just a small clarification regarding electrical sockets: There are actually four electrical sockets in the room (one next to each bed, one at the TV and one next to the writing desk). Another one, is the shaving point in the bathroom. Thank you also for giving such a lovely, descriptive review of the property, which makes wonderful reading for any potential guest and also for us as owners to know we are doing things right. We are extremely pleased that your stay was enjoyable and that you recommend us highly. Hopefully we may welcome you back again in the not too distant future. Thank you once again for having chosen us as an accommodation on your Garden Route trip. Kind regards, Jan & Bridget

Nice small owner operated guesthouse. Our room was large and had a nice balcony. The owner Jan gave us good hints where to go and where to eat. He also prepared an individual breakfast every morning. Large and nicely decorated breakfast and living room. There is also a big outside area which can be used by the guests.

This, in fact, is not your first reply or review. It is your Third. This can be classified as a vendetta. Before booking, you were welcome to google the location, which is much appreciated by our guests. There is no noise. We are within walking distance to shops and restaurants but a quiet location. Worth gold. Your children were a huge disturbance as were yourselves. Sad people. Is this all you do, research our reviews until you have found ONE negative? We are property and business owners. You are a sad, frustrated, salaried employee who does nothing but invest your time reviewing establishments negatively. Sunday afternoon again....... and you have nothing better to do than research our fabulous Guesthouse and slate it?
Zum Wohl, Herr Kuehnel.
Our B&B is within walking distance to shops and restaurants, greatly appreciated by our guests. Never have we, in 24 years of operation, had complaints regarding traffic noise. We have a huge, park-like garden with serene surroundings. These guests’ young, undisciplined children jumped on sofas in guest areas, ran amok, cried loudly late at night, disturbing other guests and were not reprimanded by their parents. When approached late at night after receiving numerous complaints from other guests about the noise levels from the room, the response from these guests, who were Inebriated, was of an aggressive nature, saying: “we have paid for the room and can do as we like”. Upon checkout the following day, the keys were thrown onto the office desk and we were threatened with a bad review. These guests, without respect for our stunning surroundings and other guests, are not welcome at our Guesthouse, which happens to also be our beautiful and very precious home.
Unser Gästehaus liegt in beste Lage in George, wo Restaurants und Geschäfte alle zu Fuss erreichbar sind und deshalb ist unser Haus bei Gästen so beliebt. Wir hatten nie zuvor beschwerden wegen Verkehrslärm und betreiben das Gästehaus schon seit 24 Jahren. Wir haben einen riesen, park-ähnlichen Grundstück mit ruhigen Umgebung. Die Kinder diese Gäste waren undizipliniert, sind auf den Sofa’s im Gästebreich rumgesprungen und haben bis spät Abend rumgeschriehen. Diese Kinder wurden von den Eltern nicht zurechtgewiesen. Nachdem wir viele beschwerden von andere Gäste bekamen, haben wir die Gäste wegen Lärmstörung ansprechen wollen. Sie waren angetrunken und uns gegenüber Aggresiv im Verhalten und sagten: „wir haben für das Zimmer bezahlt und können machen was wir wollen“. Bei der Abreise wurde das Zimmerschlüssel auf dem Bürotisch geworfen und uns wurde eine schlechte Kritik versprochen. Diese Gäste, ohne Respekt für andere Gäste und unser umwerfenden Umgebung und, was gleichzeitig unser wunderschönen und Kostbares Zuhause ist, sind in unserem Hause nicht Wilkommen.
