Reviews of Bullers Rest Lodge


"Overall experience "

Beavin de Kock

"We stayed in one of the family rooms and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The kids loved the pool and the staff were very friendly and keen to help. The pictures online do not do this place justice and it is phenomenal value for money."

"From the moment I arrived, I felt welcome at Bullers Rest Lodge. I had a superb room, with a view overlooking the small town of Ladysmith. At present, the town is experiencing a severe water shortage and there are extended periods without any water available. However, the hosts of the lodge are doing everything possible to mitigate the prevailing conditions. I will certainly be returning to this establishment. (By the way, one of the guests has given a rating of 1; this is an obvious error as his review is as positive as all the other reviews)

"What a find"

"This collection of thatched cottages looked like Hobbiton, in Lord of the Rings! Our room was delightful, full of character and charm. The garden setting is very pleasant to wander, and with wonderful views over Ladysmith. There is also an amazing collection of Boer War mementos and artifacts. We wished that we had been able to stay more than one night. Breakfast in the morning was substantial. The only comment is that the wooden floor in cabin 4 is very creaky. It didn't bother us, but it may annoy some. We can really recommend this B & B."

All we can say is this is an amazing place to stay."

"My wife and I stayed three nights at Bullers Rest Lodge in February. It is ideally situated for visiting the battlefields around Ladysmith. We were made to feel very welcome by the owner, Andy, and his daughter, Nicky, and the office staff, Pat and Heather. Heather arranged a guide to take us on a day's tour of the Anglo-Boer War battle sites.

What we appreciated the most about Bullers Rest Lodge, was the evening meal. Each evening about six to nine guests sit down to an excellent three course dinner (with wine) - cooked by Nikky. We enjoyed the conversation with the other guests and we were all made to feel part of a family.

Bullers Rest Lodge is also a small museum of the Anglo-Boer War. This adds to its charm and interest and Andy is a wealth of information on that war. "

The place is really clean and well kept, there was a young lady there and she was really amazing and went out of her way for us. We arrived quite late and she waited up for us and she showed us a round before showing us to our room. We informed her that we could only do breakfast at 09:00 the next day and she so kindly waited to give us breakfast at that time and even the Sunday she came around to check on us and see if we were okay. I was very impressed by her. We really had such a wonderful time and we would love to go back!"

"This establishment provided first class' accommodation in terms of cleanliness, facilities and the general friendly and efficient ambiance. Set in stunning grounds and with excellent views over Lesotho, the B and B provided first class food and a wonderful self service Boer War pub with much to view and read. The staff were particularly friendly and willing to help with anything and after a day out, you felt you were returning to the perfect environment. Well recommended and will definitely return."

"We were on our way to a wedding in the Cape and decided to visit the Anglo-Boer War Battlefields en route. We couldn't have chosen a more pleasant small, friendly hotel than Bullers Rest Lodge. The entrance is extremely unusual, with a large and imposing wooden gate, giving one a sense of entering a military encampment. The receptionist was helpful and the rooms were comfortable, furnished with authentic looking antique chests, cupboards and wardrobes. The beams holding the thatch had been painted white, giving a feeling of light in what could have been dark rooms.
We had ordered supper which proved to be both different and appetising!
Our breakfasts were served by extremely happy and friendly waitresses and we thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay of two nights. I will be recommending Bullers Rest Lodge to my friends.

The venue is centrally situated within few minutes access to the CBD, and tourist attractions. The premises appeared to be quite secure, and we felt assured.
Will definitely book into this Lodge again, and recommend to others. Excellent value for money. Stay was short, however enjoyed.

"While heading on our annual family holiday, I had to attend to some urgent business in Ladysmith. With children, bicycles, fishing rods and an over loaded car. I needed to find refuge and offload as many possessions as possible before heading off to a business meeting.
We came across Bullers Rest Lodge. They were very polite and courteous in our reservation and nothing was too much trouble for them. They allowed us to check in early so that we could do the luggage dump before heading out to attend to business matters. They also allowed us to check out late the next day so that we could at least have an adventure in the old battlefields the next morning.
The rooms were clean, neat and decorated with taste. Dinner was jovial as they encourage guests to dine together, share stories and pretty much enjoy themselves.
We’ll be back.
Thank you Bullers
