Detailed Reviews
Myself and 2 colleagues spent the evening here on business, we were warmly greeted by the owner, showed our beautiful and tasteful rooms ( which has everything you could possibly need) our meals consisted of butter chicken and fillet, which was remarkable!
The beds and pillows felt just like home
The showers are high pressure, bathrooms very well equipped and a special chocolate on my bed.
Breakfast was 10/10 with all you could need, fresh crisp fruit, yoghurts, then an incredible fully cooked breakfast.
What makes this establishment different is they think of everything, brown and white sugar, stronger and weaker coffee choices - they have thought of everyone’s individual preferences!
We will return every time we have to travel up for business!
A warm, safe, very comfortable stay

My stay at La Barune Guest House was very pleasant. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are well laid out and contains most of the things that a travelling businesswoman needs (who lives out of a suitcase). The breakfast was phenomenal. I will definitely stay there again.

La Barone is a luxurious, tastefully decorated but comfortable and affordable guesthouse close to the Tzaneen CBD and all other amenities. The breakfasts served on the veranda at the pool are always excellent and beautifully presented. Home away from home.

Reception was excellent, though we were delayed arriving at the location by 18H00, Hanli was awsome, she sent us a pin location and kept track checking how far and she waited for us though we were 20 minutes delayed. The breakfast was excellent. Thanks, Hanli, it is worth making time to go and visit the area again.

Accommodation was clean and neat. Only issue was that there is no power back up other than a battery operated lamp in the rooms. Nina is an amazing hostess, always keen to make our stay pleasant and very flexible in accommodating our needs .

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us. Your feedback is invaluable as it helps us continue to improve our services. I wanted to let you know that we do have a backup generator in case of power outages. However, to minimize noise pollution and ensure the comfort of our guests, we only use the generator between 7 and 9 pm. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused during your stay. I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us despite the power outage. We take pride in providing a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all of our guests, and it's always great to hear when we succeed. Once again, thank you for your review, and we hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again in the near future.

I travel annually to Tzaneen on business and always stay at La Barune, which I discovered after two previous forgettable stays at other establishments in the area. My major check points when judging an establishment, are cleanliness, bed comfort and a good shower. La Barune gets top marks in all three.
A huge shout out go to Janine and her staff who are all extremely friendly and very accommodating, which makes the stay memorable. The the breakfast is also top quality.
This trip was my fourth stay there and I would highly recommend it. La Barune will always be my overnight accommodation when in the area for business or pleasure.

I travel quite often to Tzaneen for work, and I have recently discovered this stunning guest house. They are professional, polite and neat. Most of all this guest house really creates a cozy-home-in-Paris atmosphere. Each room is beautifully decorated in a French style. The food is absolutely exquisite and tasteful. You will not regret spending your time at La Barune. I know for sure, I will keep coming back to them.

La Barune is a wonderful place to stay in Tzaneen. The owner and manager both make every effort to make their guests feel comfortable and welcome in their impeccable guest house. We stayed overnight en-route from JNB to Kruger and back and it was perfectly located for our purpose - being about 1.5hrs drive from the Phalaborwa gate. The breakfast by the pool had us fueled up and ready to go game spotting! We will certainly stay there agin if circumstances permit.

Blessed to have spent my night there. The cleanliness of the room, silence of the surrounding and the sound of rain was the perfect scenario for me to oversleep and miss my booked time for breakfast. The beds were so comfortable and definitely a home away from home.
