The Lion room, downstairs is obviously the special suite as it has its own spacious en suite bathroom. Upstairs rooms share a communal bathroom with shower. The gardens are beautiful and... More

All communication prior to arrival was dealt with professionally and very accommodating. The guest house is situated in Waterval Boven and is set in a peaceful and tastefully planted garden. The thatched accommodation was clean, beautifully furnished with Oregon pine, and was extremely comfortable. Sean, our host, was very hospitable and served our every need even going the extra mile.... More

Arrived a day late and " no sweat, I've made a plan " Sean, proved to be an excellent host with great skills in the kitchen. "Elephant" room was extremely comfortable and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Boven Villa to any traveler looking for convenient, peaceful and that "little bit extra" in accommodation.

Our party of three spent three nights (7, 8 and 9 September 2012) at Boven Villa. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel welcome. The setting at the end of a cul-de-sac in a large garden is beautifully tranquil with lovely views towards the mountains. The rooms (“Elephant” and “Lion”) were elegantly furnished, and the beds inviting... More

I highly recommend Boven Villa at Waterval Boven. Sean, the host, could not be more charming, helpful and accomodating. He is also a fantastic chef. The home is a lovely thatch with great views and conviniently located, and small extras like the nicely stocked bookshelf made all the difference.

I've been there twice now for the weekend, and it makes a great break from the busy roads of JHB. Perfect place to chill and do absolutely nothing. Shaun is a great host, and an even better cook. Keep it up!

He catered for our special needs and cooked a delicious vegetarian meal for dinner. We stayed in the Elephant room with a ballroom size and well appointed bathroom en-suite. When... More
