FANTASTIC! Gys & Denzil are the most gracious hosts. They open their home and their hearts, creating the most hospitable reception with grace and love. From the phonecall at 7pm on the day before arrival making an emergence last minute booking, to our arrival, everything during our stay and up to the last minute of our departure, they were attentive and gracious hosts. This was simply one of my favorite stays. We came for work which was a last minute booking so everything had to be done quick and they made it easy and pleasant. I HIGHLY recommend you pay them a visit! We came as clients and left as friends. I felt like we have known them all our lives. Easy going, comfortable and delightful. WE WILL BE BACK! Thanks for sharing your home and your love with us.

I can't put into words the appreciation and gratitude I have for Gys who welcomed me and my Mom into his accommodation. My Mom arrived a few days prior to me due to a family emergency and he was extremely helpful in ensuring she could get to the shops, felt welcomed and comfortable until I could get there. The accommodation was excellent. Spacious rooms with ensuites. Comfortable beds. Totally unique bohemian style, lovely garden to have your morning coffee in or evening drink by the Koi pond. I can't recommend them enough. Will definitely use again in the future if ever needed.

The cottage was very tastefully decorated and well equipped. Gys made us feel very welcome and attended to everything we needed, even phoning us to notify us that we forgot our charger there. We will definitely stay at 79 on Ridge again when in Pietermaritzburg.

I experienced such a friendly welcome, and the most feminine and exuberantly decorated room that had been created with great flair. The warmth of the hospitality and generosity of spirit was truly one of a kind. Thank you Gys for a very happy stay.
