The house boasts 7 guestrooms and of which 5 are fully self-catering, one semi self-catering and two are rooms fitted with kitchenettes. There is also a small single room (single bed with bathroom on-suite) available for staff or just a very good priced quick sleep over. The spaces are very private. Solar power with battery backup is our key comfort focus. Backup borehole water is available if required. All rooms are supplied with locally filtered water. Every room has an electric fan but not airconditioned. Gas heaters are available for cold winters. Electric blankets as a standard issue. We pride ourselves in creating a friendly and homely environment. The decor is arty with a mixture of old and new put together to create warmth and fun. The property has a beautiful garden with a lush swimming pool however not heated. Barbecues around the pool area are welcomed. A pool table is available to enjoy a game or two. Also, a small play park for smaller kids. Safe parking, safe environment, all in all, a calm and relaxing experience. We are very concerned for everyone's safety and hence have an electrical fence and alarms. We only have bookings from reputable forums to ensure again safety and security. All windows have burglar bars.
I always dreamed of having a guesthouse and now that dream is real. Loving it! Having worked in the corporate environment and learned much in the field of management, much of those learning is being implemented at the guesthouse in terms of standards in order to ensure guest are satisfied with the offering. Adventurous and fun-loving - we love to meet guests from all over the world. We love to engage and learn about people's interesting travels and experiences. Some guests are in a hurry and others are here to stay. Whatever the needs we will try our best to provide your comfort. Cleanliness and neatness are our pride and joy and we try to make your stay as enjoyable as we possibly can at affordable rates. Enjoy a home-cooked breakfast prepared with love by the host - (check the rates for breakfast on the description). Enjoy your stay as home away from home. Catering for 'group' bookings are also available however at prior arrangement. We feature a boma which can accommodate a party of up to 30 guests - light the fire and stare into the fire all night forgetting all about your problems. Experience nature at its best and have a barbeque to add to the spirit of outdoors. Relax and enjoy. Local caterers are also available on request.
Heidelberg was the first capital of South Africa albeit for only a short period. There are many historical sites in Heidelberg. The Heritage Museum is newly renovated with a beer garden and restaurant, and is the place to catch up with local history as they are passionate about sharing. Beautiful architecture and antique homes are to be found when driving around in the older Heidelberg area. Many of the local businesses, restaurants, and coffee shops are family owned which gives them that special feel. Heidelberg is very close (50-60 km) to most larger cities and also the main international airport, Oliver Tambo, which makes for a safe place to travel to and from. Surrounding Heidelberg are many county wedding venues, and we are close to all of them. Enjoy late nights and stay over at my guesthouse. Stay safe! The very famous Suikerbosrand hiking trails are 15km away. You may also do the wildlife drive to view some wild animals. Some shorter in-town nature walks are also popular. And the very popular Saturday Park Run is hosted at Silver Oaks farm very close by. Heidelberg Shopping Mall offers a pleasant and safe experience. The Mall butchery has the best biltong and "droë wors" in town. Heidelberg also boasts with a very nice Golf Club and an airstrip for small aeroplanes and helicopters. Popular markets like The Vellie Fest, Beer Fest, Vark (Pork) Fest, and many more... Keep an eye out for local events and plan your stay around these dates. Local schools are professional and conservative. The local Highschool is very serious about all major sports and hosts many sporting events. Epicure Home Guesthouse is 2km from these sporting events. Our 4 family size rooms make it an affordable stay over for families.
