"The rooms had everything we needed for self catering purposes, with nice space outside and good braai facility. Very friendly and helpful host and well located. We had a brief but enjoyable stay.
The only downside was the size of the spiders hanging around! "

"Thank you, had a wonderful overnight stay, everything clean and spotless, everything you would need is there, will be staying over again."

"Hosts, Steven and Mariet, made sure that we were comfortable and that we were happy with everything. The accommodation was clean, neat and well presented. "

"All that was expected"

"Crisp, Clean and Comfortable. Kitchen fine with ample equipment, a large and small sharp knife for vegetable preparation would be useful, and a slotted spoon; the draining board a bit constricted but no real problem. They free WiFi excellent and DSTV a bonus. Robin"

"Nice clean comfortable room with a view onto the garden. Air conditioned which was a great relief in the heat of Graaf Reinet. Friendly hosts. Would stop here again if I was in Graaf Reinet. Secure parking."

"Enyoyed stay.Neat and tidy and well equipped.Friendly reception.Will stay again."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Stemar self catering Guest House.

The rooms were beautifully clean and had everything we needed.

Our room was tastefully decorated in lilac ... home from home.

The bed was comfortable, wifi was welcoming and we could sit on the patio and enjoy the sunbirds swimming in the fountain.

The aircon gave respite from the heat and we had a fridge in the kitchenette for our shopping.

The parking is safe and there was high clearance for our loaded bakkie.

Welcoming hosts,lovely historical buildings in town and the best Karoo roast lamb I have ever had . Wish I could have stayed longer"

"Myself, wife and daughter stayed in unit 2. Bed comfortable, accomodations clean and neat. Will recommend. Vehicle was safe behind security gate under a carport."

"Lovely surroundings - unit and garden.

Gracious hosts

If we had known Graaf-Reinet area had so much to offer we would have organized our trip to spend more time in the area."

"Enjoyed our stay at Stemar Guest House in Graaff Reinet. We were welcomed and the service very efficient. It was clean, quiet and fully equipped. Plenty of safe off street parking."

"One of the best self-catering experiences we have had (amongst many). Remarkably clean and tidy and very well-appointed room (Unit 3). Really spacious shower (I am 1.83m so I need this) and hot water on demand. AC / heating also in the room. My wife and I have to go back to Graaff Reinet in a month ..."

My wife and I have to go back to Graaff Reinet in a month or two and we will definitely book in there again. Large, secure off-street parking. "

"Comfortable, clean and adequate with secure parking"

"The hosts were helpful and friendly, and we had an enjoyable braai. The room is not spacious but has everything you need, so for a two-star rating I would definitely recommend Stemar Guest House. "

"The unit was very comfortable, well-equipped and spotless, with every self-catering need provided for. Aircon and DSTV were a plus. Exceptionally good value for money, especially the rate for single occupation."

"Friendly welcome, neat and clean, everything required for a peaceful overnight stay. Thank you."

"Everything was clean, neat and tidy! We could not fault the unit in any way!

However, we were on a motorbike and it was raining heavily. I would've liked the 'shade net' carports to be of a more permanent 'dry' parking area, especially for bikers! "

"Very neat and private accomodation. Enjoyed the peace and quiet!"

"A neat apartment with all the necessary facilities. There is safe off-road parking. We received a friendly welcome. It is good value."

"Absolutely wonderful and affordable experience. The room had been cooled down for our arrival. It was 37 degrees that day.

Thank you for the nice oasis where we could relax after a long trip. We really enjoyed it thoroughly in your well maintained unit. We appreciate your friendly hospitality. Blessings with hope and happiness for the future."

"It is the second time that I stay at Stemar. It was perfect! I love the hospitality, the absolute value for money and the feeling that you are home, even though you are far from home. I would recommend this establishment to anyone visiting Graaff- Reinet"

"Happy, that's what we are. Clean, neat, safe, everything you need for a quick sleepover for one night. On Sunday morning we decided to visit Nieu Bathesda to experience the Owl House, so we asked the hosts if we may leave one car on their premises, to pick up again when we return. Without hesitation they agreed. That is service, because after 10 am they are under no obligation to do anything for us. Very nice hosts - thanks for a lovely rest Saturday night, coffee on Sunday morning and a tranquil environment to enjoy early in the morning with the furry kids around our feet, beautiful cat and dog. A home from home experience. Highly recommended!"

"I had a very fine visit and will comeback for another and book with Rooms For Africa again."

"I had a most enjoyable stay at Stemar. I was received in a friendly and hospitable way. The accommodation was clean and neat and I had everything I needed. Thank you Stephen and Mariet! I will certainly make use of you again in future, and will also let others know about you.

"We stayed for a relaxing night in this very quite accommodation. With the self catering facilities we had a nice breakfast on the terrace."

"We were pleasantly surprised with the overall accommodation. Very neat and inviting and we had a good night's rest. We had pleasant communication with our hosts Stefan and Mariet. Well done!"

"Well equipped room and friendly people. Would recommend anytime. Thanks."

What more could I expect for R250.00 self-catering in a quiet part of beautiful Graaff-Reinet?"

"From toaster to teaspoons, from towels to TV, everything was there! Excellent value for money and tastefully decorated. We loved the pets! "

"It was so pleasant to be greeted by both Stephen and Mariet upon arrival. The self catering cottage was spotlessly clean and the linen and towels had a smell of being freshly washed and ironed.

"It was so pleasant to be greeted by both Stephen and Mariet upon arrival. The self catering cottage was spotlessly clean and the linen and towels had a smell of being freshly washed and ironed.
We noticed some homemade rusks had been set aside in a jar for our use, and that just made us feel so welcomed and at home.
Each day as we returned from our various sightseeing trips, the cottage had been cleaned and to our amazement some more rusks to replace the ones that we had so enjoyed!
Our car was safely parked under cover within the property. There was sufficient lighting in the car park as well as along the pathway leading to the cottage.
Both Stephen and Mariet were very friendly and eager to help with any of our requests.
We certainly were pleasantly surprised by what we felt was excellent value for money and will definitely stay there again, and are quite happy to recommend the establishment.

Thank you! We enjoyed our stay!"

"All three rooms booked were very clean & neat. Linen, bedding & towels were fresh. Spacious bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchenette's were a delight. Our hosts were very friendly, helpful and forgiving as our group of eight were quite loud at times. Secure under cover parking under the watchful eyes of a lovely dog was a bonus. The braai-fireplace on the stoep and lovely walled garden where we enjoyed our self catered meals were first class.

This accommodation does not dent your wallet. Excellent!!!"

"Excellent value for money. Great hospitality. Safe environment. Great space and very good entertainment facilities. Definitely will return."

"Our accommodation was very standard but provided everything we needed. Mariet and Steven are very accommodating and pleasant. The bathroom is clean with lovely thick towels, the linen is fresh, the bed comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and Mariet even left some homemade rusks for tea in the morning ... The television is also well tuned in (unlike friends of ours who stayed at five star accommodation with a flaky TV). We will certainly be back to visit Graaff Reneitt as we didn't have enough time to do what we had planned and we most certainly will stay at Stemar again!"
