Friendly reception Comfortable room. Scrumptious breakfast. A floormat at the shower would have been a welcome addition, since I had to use the handtowel as a floormat. But all in all a great stay and highly recommended. I also got useful instructions on how to divert trafic, which was greatly appreciated.

Beautiful guest house and they provide very warm and welcoming service.

Will definitely stay here again when in George.

It is very peaceful and they are very accommodating.

It is home away from home, their rates are really good for what you get and the food is delicious.

Acorn Guest house was a lovely home from home on our trip around South Africa. The staff are extremely helpful and suggested some where to eat in the evening and booked it for us a party of ten, the children loved the loft bed room and all the other rooms where airy and very clean. The breakfast was superb and would recommend to all.

Every aspect of this accommodation was beautiful and excellent. The staff were very knowledgeable and helpful in every way. The room was absolutely spacious and spotless with everything working perfectly.

The breakfast choices was extensive with the staff expertly satisfying every individual need. I do not think this could be bettered anywhere in George.

Very central in the heart of George with people who are amazingly and friendly hosts as well as a really incredible breakfast and everything about this guest house is a little bit more unique than just the vanilla flavor standard. Rooms are very spacious being in a wheelchair myself was absolutely no problem with so much space. Will definitely recommend this guest house and some more and the big question always asked yes I will be back as first choice at the Acorn guest house

Travelling as much as I do around South Africa it is great to find another guest house which is so accommodating. It compares in all aspects with my other frequently visited guest houses: Chelsea Villas in Durban and Avant Garde in Johannesburg.

Having stayed in some really suspect places at times I really appreciate the friendliness ,cleanliness and orderliness.

We are in between houses since lockdown and its effects. We urgently needed a place to stay to accommodate ourselves and two large dogs.
Acorn came to our rescue and assisted eventhough they normally do not take large dogs. We will forever be thankful for this. The property is welcoming, clean and well equipped and will recommend to all our friends and family that come to George as a first point of call.

Arriving on a cool and wet afternoon we were welcomed to a lovely, large, luxurious room with a beautiful mountain view and all the extras including sherry and towel warmer. I don't usually book breakfasts but on this occasion I did, and they were wonderful. A large spread and a different hot dish each morning with personal service by the Owner and her Team. Location is perfect. Close to everything but quiet, with plenty of parking. My perfect place in my perfect town.
