A Pilgrims Rest Guest House

The new owner is very friendly. Everything was very clean and the service really good. The food was perfect. We could park inside.

Lovely exterior and interior! Comfortable furnishings and a warm bed. Endearing tchotchkes and artifacts. Hot and sumptuous breakfast. Cool spiral staircase!!

I am Hilton Diamond, Marriott Gold and Intercontinental Platinum. Yet this small inn is one of the finest places l've ever had the opportunity to stay. Gorgeous facilities and perfectly restored property. Pilgrims Rest is truly like a window in time. It was an absolute joy to stay here. Breakfast was huge and delicious. This is one of those rare gems that is even better than described

It was late in the evening when we arrived at A Pilgrim's Rest Guest House, and the heavy rain made us quickly move our luggage from the car into the house. Upon entering, we were struck by how beautiful it was inside. Even more special was the warm greeting we received from Sorada, the sister-in-law of the hostess, Adele. Sorada is from Northeast Thailand and had been working in South Africa for 14 years. My friend was soaked from the rain, so he went to the room to take a shower. In the living room, I met Laurent, a Frenchman who works in Johannesburg. He offered to get me a glass of wine, but I politely declined his invitation, feeling too shy to accept a stranger's generosity.We had packed lamb stew rice and Peri-peri roast chicken from a Portuguese restaurant, but Adele and Sorada had already cooked the dinner that Laurent had ordered. Seeing that Laurent and I were having a pleasant chat, they invited us, the only guests from Malaysia to dine together at the same table. This was a big deal, as Sorada talked about how she integrated into South African life as a Thai, and Adele praised her for helping a lot with work, especially cooking extraordinary dishes. We all shared many interesting stories and jokes, and even asked Adele to open a bottle of wine for us. Laurent was responsive and answered our questions about French culture. After several hours, we were all laughing and having a great time.Although Adele invited us to eat the dinner they had prepared, we declined as we had already brought our own Portuguese meal. Adele insisted on treating us to dessert after dinner, and their homemade milk tart was really delicious! Before leaving the guesthouse the next morning, Adele thanked us for our company and for making the atmosphere of the dinner so warm. I asked her if she entertained guests like this every night, and she said it was impossible to do so. However, she was sincere in her hospitality and didn't mind sharing dinner with us and her family.A Pilgrim's Rest Guest House is an old Victorian English house that attracts tourists from all over the world. Although Adele didn't know much about its history when she bought the house, she has kept all the antiques and oil paintings in the house and enjoys showing them to her guests. Overall, our stay at A Pilgrim's Rest Guest House was a memorable experience of sitting down with South Africans to eat, chat, and drink.

Very nice n exquisite love the old decoration style the rooms are spotless n very quiet the host are very welcoming will be visiting this place more often thumbs to the hostes Michelle doing a great job all guests needs attended to.This place is nearer to all restaurants in case you want to dine out .

Nice and very clean rooms. Very friendly and helpful hosts. We enjoyed our stay there very much. The common room with the fireplace was amazing during the cold spring evenings.

The place was a nice stay, but unfortunately South Africa is going through a really daunting electricity problem. No fault of the guest house, but wish we were made aware of this issue.

Wonderful guest house near everything in Graskop and the Panorama route. Great dinner offered as well. Highly recommend.
