South Africa“It was a novelty. Great idea. Comfortable, clean, hot water. Nice and secure!!” 
Hippie South Africa“An interesting and quirky rest place in Britstown to break the long Cape Town to Johannesburg drive. Appreciated the self-check-in and out arrangements. Enjoyed the budget-friendly, uniquely authentic "jail experience"! Was a fun stopover.”- Jacobus South Africa“The three bedroom cottage suited our needs (small group). The house had all the basic necessities, kitchen, microwave etc. and a nice outside braai area. The grounds were immaculate and the staff super friendly and helpful.”
- Barnard South Africa“What an experience it really felt like sleeping in a jail. The detail is exceptional. The electric blanket was a bonus ( it would have been nice if it was a full blanket)”
- Wim South Africa“I enjoyed a pleasant stay and appreciated the 'Welcome' confirmation WhatsApp with check-in instructions prior to arrival.”
- Van South Africa“Confirmation and electronic access were great as we arrived after dark.”

Estonia“Absolutely amazing place. I liked the style of the rooms and the building, how everything was thought through. The room was spacious enough, clean, had even European style socket(s). Liked also possibility to do self check-in and check-out, then...” - Patricia South Africa“Lovely atmosphere and attention to detail in room was superb”
- Mostert South Africa“The unusual idea of turning the original jail into a tourist facility.. The building itself is very special, considering what effort went into the preparation of the dressed stone building blocks and the aesthetic appeal of the finished product.”
Chris South Africa“I liked the connection it had with the TV show. It was a real jail, and the conversion process was done very well. The gardens and area looked amazing.”
