Wir verbrachten die letzte Nacht unseres SA Urlaubs bei Almut in Ikhamanzi. Es ist wunderschön dort, mit sehr geschmackvoll eingerichteten Häuschen, viel Stil und Charme. Das Frühstück ist hervorragend und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Almut ist überaus zuvorkommend und kümmert sich liebevoll um ihre Gäste. Wir können es nur weiterempfehlen und werden bei unserem nächsten SA Urlaub sicher wieder bei Almut gastieren. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit.

My family and I needed a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life and decided on a short break away from home. Every year it's the same stressed-out-at-home or expensive and even more stressed out trip to the sea but this year we booked the weekend at ikhamanzi Bed and Breakfast. We did not expect much as it is so close to home (Alberton) but agreed that we will do it purely for relaxation sake and a change of scenery. Wow, were we surprised. We found out very pleasantly that we did not have to spend a fortune hundreds of kilometers away to have fun and relax. We were given a very warm welcome by Almut, out hostess who paid attention to every guest every moment of the day. The accomodation was homely and the atmosphere scenic and serene. We developed a bond with Kira (the golden retriever) and the children and felt so at home that our departure was emotional. We will definitely book ikhamanzi again when we need a short break.

Vor unserem Abflug verbrachten wir unsere letzte nacht bei Almut. die Zimmer sind sehr liebevoll eingerichtet. Es gibt dort alles was das herz begehrt an Getränken und Süßigkeiten. Almut gibt gute Tipps für die Umgebung betreffend Essen oder einkaufen gehen. Das Frühstück war sehr schmackhaft, mit Wurst und Käse vom holländischen metzger, dieeier von freilaufenden Hühnern und Obst. Eine Unterkunft, die zum Verweilen einläd. Danke liebe Almut

Ikhamanzi was amazing! We enjoyed an incredible romantic weekend with only the best hospitality anybody can ask for. The host Almut was so lovely and warm; she made us feel so welcomed and it felt like home. We were very impressed by the room and the various amenities; unbelievably comfortable! We definitely intend on setting a date to take some time-out to visit the place again this year; especially for the delicious and filling breakfast that is served. In addition, we also got to enjoy an outdoor braai on the last evening of our stay which was a great way to wrap up such a wonderful weekend away. Thank you so much Almut! Makgotso and TK

I stayed Ikhamanzi for 6 nights during the Radio Control World Championships. This is a beautiful B&B and hospitality second to none. The room was spacious, comfortable and tastefully decorated. Every morning I was spoilt with a delicious breakfast. Thanks Almut, it is a gem of a B&B.

Ikhamanzi is an awesome place! We recommend it to anyone who would like to be treated like royalty, but at the same time have a very peaceful and relaxing break. The decor is expertly done, attractive and appropriate. The food is excellent and the way it is presented is exquisite. The electric blankets on the beds were most welcome! Thank you, Almut, for the professional and friendly way in which you run your establishment. No request was too much trouble for you. Well done! We'll be back!

This is a perfect romantic weekend getaway for simply relaxing and enjoying nature! We were pleasantly surprised as this was a very last minute booking, Almut was helpful and friendly and very accommodating. We stayed in the new tented rooms with a luxury bathroom, loved the victorian bath!! We highly recommend the tented rooms for your stay. Breakfast was fresh and there was a variety of things to choose from. We will be back to enjoy another weekend. Thank you Almut!

Après 4 semaines de voyage, avant le retour à l'aéroport de Johannesburg, cette adresse paisible, reposante, un accueil souriant, chaleureux d' Almut, l'impression d'étre chez soi, un grand raffinement dans la décoration, le choix des objets, des couleurs, des petites attentions,un délicieux petit déjeuner, tout cela et le reste fait que j'ai vraiment envie de retourner à l'Ikhamanzi B&B lors d'un prochain voyage en Afrique du Sud

I travel extensively and use many B&B's in SA and this one REALLY was AWESOME. Almut was a great host and knew when to just chat and when to let us relax. The sounds of nature waking us up in the morning was refreshing and spa bath was a treat. We have decided to stay at Ikhamanzi from now on. This really is worth anyone's while. A fantastic place where you feel like royalty. Thank you and well done!

Five stars, no question. Go out to Ikhamanzi and find true Africa: vast landscapes, exotic birds' calls and pitch black nights. Enjoy a friendly, warm and unconventional accommodation. Whatever it is, Almut will help you to make it come true, at a more than fair rate.

Wir waren zu Beginn unserer Südafrika-Reise für eine Nacht im Ikhamanzi. Es war der ideale Auftakt für einen erlebnisreichen Urlaub. Ein herzliches Dankeschön an Almut und ihre Familie für den tollen Aufenthalt und die sehr gute Gastfreundschaft. Wir können Ikhamanzi bestens weiterempfehlen und kommen sehr gerne wieder. Liebe Grüße nach Südafrika.

Auch wenn wir nur für eine Nacht im Ikhamanzi waren haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir hatten ein tolles Zimmer im afrikanischen Stil (sogar mit beheiztem Bett, wichtig für die kalten Winternächte in Johannesburg). Wir fühlten uns durch die Freundlichkeit und Unkompliziertheit wie bei Freunden aufgenommen. Leider hatten wir keine Zeit mehr einen typisch afrikanischen Grillabend zu verbringen, das holen wir aber nach! :-) Vielen Dank für alles! Almut und ihre Familie wünschen wir alles Gute in Südafrika!

We stayed 9 nights during the World Cup and wished we could take Ikhamanzi with us through out our tour of the country. We suggest the braai. Rooms were great. The family is awesome (hello Timmy, Tia and Derick)! We were spoiled by the huge breakfasts and found ourselves skipping lunch each day. Almut was an outstanding host adhering to all of our needs. We plan to return in 2 years time with the rest of our family.

This is without a shadow of a doubt, the benchmark when it comes to a B&B. Owner run, immaculate, peacefull, friendly, and willing to accomodate you no matter what. Rooms are of a spec usually enjoyed by establishments costing three times the amount of Ikhamanzi. A true home away from home. Thanks Almut, Derick, the kids...as well Makulu and Zazo!
