"We had a very pleasant stay at the Fountain Baths Guest Cottages, everything went well and we enjoyed ourselves. We would definitely recommend it to others."

"We had a great stay, it was lovely. The people were very friendly and welcoming. The facilities are great as well as our chalet which was clean spacious and comfortable. We had a wonderful time there."

"The stay was good, I really enjoyed it. The guest cottage had everything I needed for my stay, its just that it was way to short. I'll visit this establishment again.

Fountain Baths Guest Cottages is a friendly place. We had a very nice room in the main house, colonial style with a nice terrace. There is a fully equipped kitchen, which we did not use. Based on a tip from the owner we had a wonderful dinner in town (at Josephine's). The breakfast in the morning was nice and abundant.
"

"The room was very luxurious and we had a very nice time."

"We have enjoyed our stay in Bath Guest Cottages with very friendly host. The cottages are in nice, peaceful surroundings. On the morning, we could observe how monkeys steal mangoes from the tree!"

"The Fountain baths are Barbeton’s history incarnate - the first hotel in Barbeton opened in 1884.

"The Fountain baths are Barbeton’s history incarnate - the first hotel in Barbeton opened in 1884. The cottages are settled in serene splendour at the base of the mountains amongst lavish vegetation and a tenderly cared for garden of serenity. Close to all amenities, Fountain Baths is well located. The rooms are quaint and well equipped and Sue and her staff go out of their way to accommodate any special requests."

"It was a lovely one night stay and we had everything we needed in this time."

"We had a pleasant stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. I however think they should have more cupboard space. I will recommend them to others."

"The accommodation was very nice, the Hostess was very friendly. The breakfast was okay. There are nice old details in the accommodation."

"The stay was short but lovely. It’s a place we would make use of again and recommend to others."

"Suitable overnight stay at good value for money. Lovely garden. Cottage quite small but adequate for a stop-over. Pet friendly. Would stay again."

"We had a wonderful day in Barberton and Fountain Baths was a huge part of the good experience. Friendly reception, comfortable cottages and a special garden. Rates were very reasonable."

"Thank you for a lovely stay. I will definitely return and recommend to others."

"Thank you Sue Hicks for a wonderful stay at Fountain Baths Guest Cottages. It was excellent, clean, beautiful, and friendly and so many more. The breakfast was so what a holiday breakfast should be.
We will for sure visit Fountain Baths again and again.
"

"We had a lovely stay @ Fountain Baths and will recommend the accommodation to friends, the little unit was well equipped with what we needed
Thank you

"We stayed one night at Fountain Baths Guest Cottages on our way to Kruger NP. The room we stayed in was spacious, clean and comfortable. All we needed for a one night stay. "

"Friendly welcome - particularly by the cats! Nicely, quirky and lovely grounds!"

"A calm and charming former bathing house, on the edge of Barberton center. Within walking distance of several good (local) restaurants. Nicely decorated and spacious rooms, fully equipped with little kitchen and bathroom. There is a rather little swimming pool and a jacuzzi (both cold water). Use of a secured parking for the car (even if you checked out and not yet left). Good moderate breakfast. Friendly owner.
If you visit the museum, you can find a picture of the place in former glory ! "

"Very comfortable, lovely gardens and view back onto the mountain.
Well equipped with spacious rooms and comfortable beds.
Swimming pool clean and inviting and if in season plenty of avocados on the trees that are available for free.."

"I stayed at Fountain Baths with a small group from Australia in October 2010. The rooms were clean and reasonably priced, the owner was helpful, and the beds were comfortable.

If I return to the area, which I hope to do, I would certainly stay there again."

"Fountain Baths Guest Cottages was a lovely place to stay. Nice and tidy and clean. Sue is really a nice person who makes you feel welcome and is willing to accommodate your needs. We will be staying there again!"

"Our visit was very pleasant. We enjoyed our stay and the accommodation very much! Our host went out of her way to get up early to make us breakfast before our cycling training, very early in the morning. The rooms are neat, clean, and pleasant to stay in, the bathroom was beautiful."

"I had a wonderful time during my stay on Saturday 23 January 2010 at Fountain Baths Guest Cottages. Arrived there in the sweltering heat, but when I went into my room it was cool and decorated in crisp blue and white decor. I went for a swim in the pool and let my mind wander back to the early days of Barberton when this was the communal pool. I love history and the owner Sue Hicks, shared some interesting detail with me which I enjoyed.

From your window you have breathtaking views of the lush gardens with the mountains forming a back drop.

The breakfast served on Sunday morning was excellent and I can recommend Fountain Baths to anybody wanting to break away. Keep up the standards and well done!"

"Selected from previous guest reviews! Superb accommodation. Well situated to take a walk into town (for museums, historical sites, places to eat, the Heritage walk etc.) Lovely setting & gardens. Good value. Would return if re-visiting area. "

"A lovely setting with beautiful gardens - saw a family of porcupines on hill side backing onto the garden in the evening.

"A lovely setting with beautiful gardens - saw a family of porcupines on hill side backing onto the garden in the evening. The cottages were very comfortable and well furnished, with one in particular (sleeping 3 with a double and a single room) as it was beautifully furnished with lovely period features and furniture, very comfy bed and lovely bathroom with roll top bath. Well run with friendly, helpful service and lovely breakfast. We would definitely recommend."

"Fountain Baths Guest Cottages are bordered by a lush green garden with a splash of colour where needed and a very old large wild fig tree which your eyes just have to follow up to where it reaches high into the blue sky.

"Fountain Baths Guest Cottages are bordered by a lush green garden with a splash of colour where needed and a very old large wild fig tree which your eyes just have to follow up to where it reaches high into the blue sky. The charming and elegantly furnished cottages nestle against a huge mountain and the atmosphere is homely and welcoming. Our stay was pleasurable and comfortable. We would not hesitate to book at Fountain Baths again when we visit the area."

"What a comfortable and friendly establishment with the loveliest scenic setting.
Enjoyed our evening in the pub with our friendly hosts and friends and found the old photos and history of the establishment very interesting. Would certainly recommend it to our friends and family.
"

"Very good accommodation in room #2 and a great breakfast. Excellent spot for birders."

"We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this guest house. The rooms were clean and tastefully decorated. The self catering facilities were adequate to make simple meals. The garden was definitely the highlight - the fact that the garden backs onto the mountain gives a fantastic sense of space and greenery. The garden has a number of "areas" to sit in making it possible to enjoy some privacy even if other guests are also outside. Our children really enjoyed it too. The historic aspect to the establishment also appeals and the owner has a good collection of period photos tracing the history of the baths, and of Barberton. It is a short walk into the centre - it was nice to be able to explore the pretty town on foot rather than driving everywhere. I would definitely recommend it to others as a good weekend break, especially as there is a lot to do in and around Barberton itself."

"Arrive in Barberton and finding the Fountain Baths Guest Cottages is like arriving at home. The location is very near the centre of the town but at the same time in the complete rest and green. The superb view of the mountain is as unique as the placing of the cottages in the garden, private and rural at the same time. The cottage was clean and pleasant. The hostess was very friendly. No fruit at breakfast was the only remark."

"The pictures on the internet do not do this guest house any justice. The rooms were amazing, the garden literally backs onto the mountain. The pool is so great you have to tear yourself away. Sue was great as was her cooking. If you want to relax, this is the place. "

"The cottage was charming, clean and fully equipped situated in a beautiful garden where we could listen to the sounds of bushbabies at night. It was very peaceful.
Sue provided us with a very tasty breakfast in the morning.
All in all a wonderful experience. We will definitely come back."

"Our cottage was the most luxurious of all the lodges we stayed in. The self-catering was complete. The cottage had a large veranda, a nice swimming pool. Breakfast perfect!"

"Splendid! Hosts Sue and Kevan are dedicated to the welfare and comfort of their guests and very knowledgeable about Barberton and surrounds. The accommodation is superb in magnificent gardens. So much to do and see in Barberton."
