Reviews of Celtis Country Lodge & Restaurant


"Celtis Country Lodge"

(South Africa) Elne

"A comfortable stay with a good restaurant on site in a remote town where finding something to eat can be a problem. Great value breakfast included."


"Add to my list!"

(South Africa) Leonie

"We were sceptical and had agtually planned to stop over in Cradock, but because of the Fish River canoe run everything was fully booked. From the first moment everything was a very pleasant experience: friendly reception who even helped us with some private faxing that needed to be done; lovely comfortable rooms; super grounds with excellent restaurant. In future this wil be our overnight stay of choice ! Perhaps a better devil's fork type fencing between this and the adjacent property would be reassuring: we came fresh from an experience of robbery and the flimsy fence worried us a bit."


"Great halfway stop!!"

O'Lerato Litlhakanyane

"The food at the restaurant was great and the servers were friendly."


"Convenient family friendly overnight accommodation"

(South Africa) Anja Olivier

"We enjoyed our stay at Celtis Country Lodge. It was very convenient travelling with a baby and being able to have dinner at the lodge. "


"Value for money"

(South Africa) Barry Whitfield

"Excellent stopover. Well received by Maggie. Unfortunately, TV in room allocated out of order. Moved to another room, Number 1, which was also very comfortable, but next to the entrance to the property. This proved to be very noisy, as there were guests returning from a party in the early hours of t..."

This proved to be very noisy, as there were guests returning from a party in the early hours of the morning. We enjoyed a very pleasant dinner - and a hearty breakfast. Staff very obliging. Overall good value for money. "

"This is a delightful lodge in the quiet outskirts of Middleburg. We stayed in one of the Garden Rooms and were really impressed with the overall comfort, cleanliness and quality of the furnishing and sleep quality. The staff were very helpful and professional. Check in was efficient and friendly and we were taken to be shown around the facility and rooms ...breakfast was cute and tasty. All in all a very nice place to overnight."

"The honeymoon suite was nice and spacious and the bathroom was equally big with a nice tub. The room was neat and tidy and overlooked the pool and garden area. The shower was not great and requires a new shower head.

Breakfast is available as packed lunches for those travelling early in the morning. The only downfall there is there is no fridge to keep the food and so we just took water and biscuits but were charged for a full breakfast pack.

Service was not great but the staff were friendly. "

We would recommend the guest house and will certainly stay over again when driving to the Cape."

"We had a great kick off for our honeymoon, had a lovely stay, air condition was a winner. We even picked out our own room. It was spacious, cool, and quiet. We just loved it and will stay there again if we go to Cape Town. Dinner in the garden was lovely, nice view over the pool, sitting by candle light staring into each other’s eyes; we took photos and a video clip. The staff is very friendly, checking on their customers regularly. We even had a nice long chat to reception about sightseeing, she was so helpful.

A must stay over for any person, young, old you name it.

"Clean oasis in the hot Karoo!"

(South Africa) Mrs Meiring

"A surprisingly pleasant stop over at Celtis Garden Cottage. The fact that the staff kept contact with us to hear when we would be arriving and also for directing us after we had taken a wrong turn. On our arrival, hot and tired after 9 pm we were pleasantly surprised by the lovely setting and clean room and kitchenette. I personally felt very at home with the lovely open garden area and safe parking for our fully packed car and would recommend this place to all who need a quiet night's rest on the long journey down to the cape."


"Celtis Karoo magic"

(South Africa) Mr Beckett

"Celtis offers very good value for money in spacious, well-appointed rooms that offer everything you need for an overnight stay and more. The service staff are very accommodating and friendly and I would highly recommend Celtis to anyone looking for a restful, comfortable overnight stay in the Karoo."

"Celtis Garden Cottage provided what I was looking for and even more because our unit had a spacious lounge, a well furnished kitchen and enough beds for me and my family. There are braai areas and a swimming pool for our relaxation. It has a shower and a nice bath to suit everyone. We started enjoying our holiday at Celtis. Initially we were just looking for a sleep over (bed & a shower) accommodation for a family but Celtis provided more than that as I have just explained. We have decided that from now on, Celtis will be our regular stop over when we go to Port Elizabeth."


"Celtis Garden Cottage"

(Netherlands) Ms Weessies-Loohuis

"We only stayed for one night in Celtis Garden Cottage because we were on our way to Lesotho.
Staff was very friendly and the cottages were well-equipped and very clean!
We were unluckily to have an electricity shut-down, but there were enough candles provided!"

"Celtis Garden Cottage was such a welcome surprise in the most unlikely place... It was spotlessly clean, tastefully furnished and set in a lush, well kept garden. The host was very friendly and efficient, without being too invasive and we were left feeling comfortable and well looked after. Everything in the room was in good working order and relevant information was displayed in the room to guide you through anything from restaurants to emergencies. The only recommendation would be to install airconditioning to every unit as it was very hot in spite of the two fans used to try and cool things down. I can recommend Celtis any day as a very pleasant space to stay when away from home."


"Overnight stay at celtic Gardens"

(South Africa) Mr van der Bank

"Celtic Gardens was a welcome, friendly and excellent resting place to break a long drive. The service was excellent and I would really recommend it and make use of it again when the opportunity comes up. "


"Celtis - our night there"

What were also impressive were the menus so you could either order in or go out and at least know where to go. The decor is beautiful and made us feel very at home. Everything is thought of in the Unit and we had a wonderful stay - I will definitely recommend Celtis and we will be staying there overnight again should we be travelling again. Oh and such warm friendly people. We also enjoyed the peace and quiet there. Everything was definitely 5 Star treatment. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay. See you again soon."


"Middelburg superb."

(South Africa) Mr Hugo

"What a wonderful hostess and so helpful, even providing us with a meal on a Sunday night. The cottage was extremely comfortable and secluded. Will stay there again, should we pass that way."


"A Little "Peace" of Heaven"

(South Africa) Ms McCarter

"As a traveling "rep", I spend an enormous amount of time on the road. This can prove to be exhausting. There is nothing better than wearily finding your way to your B & B and on arriving, you receive a warm and inviting welcome. Such is the welcome I received at the Celtis Cottage.

"As a traveling "rep", I spend an enormous amount of time on the road. This can prove to be exhausting. There is nothing better than wearily finding your way to your B & B and on arriving, you receive a warm and inviting welcome. Such is the welcome I received at the Celtis Cottage. They were extremely friendly and helpful. The B & B has an ambiance of peace and tranquility about it. This would be owing to the enormous and well maintained garden. With so many trees and plants around one can quite easily forget the reason you came on this trip! I felt like I was on a one day holiday! I watched a great movie on DSTV and I even received my breakfast in bed. How marvelous. I will definitely be visiting there again and will heartily mention to anyone going that way that they must book in at the Celtis."


"Pleased"

"The service was excellent and I enjoyed my stay thoroughly. I can recommend this establishment with ease to all future visitors of Middelburg."


"Celtis - A Pleasure"

(South Africa) Ms Dendor

"I enjoyed a night spent at this establishment while away on business. I found them to be very friendly and as helpful as possible.

The room was charming, comfortable, clean and the bathroom lovely. I will definitely be back there for future business trips and will look forward to it. more

Vouchers were provided for meals and this allowed for more than enough food from the local restaurant.
