Best option in charming Graaf Reinet
Another great overnight stay at one of the best small hotels in South Africa. Large comfortable room tastefully decorated surrounded by magnificent surrounds and gardens all centrally located in the charming town of Graaf Reinet and just a short stroll from great coffee shops and points of interest.

Unique hotel! The room was great - comfortable and spacious. The reception staff was friendly. However, we were not completely satisfied with the quality of the dinner dishes, as well as the service provided by the breakfast personnel. They messed up the food orders a few times, and it took forever to get our coffees.

Drosdy Hotel, Graaff Reinet
We only stayed overnight, but as usual everything was exellent, from the welcome to checking out. Staff all very friendly and well informed. The food was delicious, the breakfast spread was well stocked with many choices, hot and cold. When in Graaff Reinet we always stay at the Drosdy Hotel. They have added carports for parking which is a big plus when the weather is bad. I highly recommend the Drosdy Hotel
