Excellent experience
Leonhard Nueesch, South Africa
12 November 2011
The stay at Andries Stockenstrom was an excellent experience. Very nice people and good hosts, sensational kitchen. We have to go back to this place as soon as possible.
Delightful
Jan Bakker, Netherlands
20 March 2011
Highly recommended. One of our better experiences in South Africa. We stayed on Wednesday and Thursday in February 2011. The Garden Mini Suites and Main House are a delight. Gordon and his family were a joy to meet. His food as well as his personal touch in arranging the menu with every guest was a wonderful experience. The staff were very friendly and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived.
What a great place!
Peter Eley, South Africa
18 March 2011
Our stay at this guest house was as close to perfect as we have found anywhere in South Africa. Impeccable service, very comfortable rooms, superb cuisine and very attentive hosts made our stay something to remember. This time it was a stopover visit, but we will certainly return specifically to stay with them.
En-route to the Cape
Anneke Van Rooyen, South Africa
11 January 2011
My husband and I tremendously enjoyed our stop over at Andries Stockenstrom en route to the Cape for our annual holiday. Arriving on a hot December afternoon, retreating to the verandah to cool off in the pool. Dinner was a spectacular treat, with great food and attention from the hosts. We are looking forward to another visit!
Special and unique

Gordon and Rose have something very special and unique, and we can highly recommend to anybody passing Graaff-Reinet to stay over and have dinner with them! Thank you very much for a memorable stay.
