Very pleasant stopover. Superb food, perhaps too generous portions! Rooms well appointed and beds very comfortable

I had the privilege to stay at over 50 hotels and guesthouses across all 9 provinces in South Africa. The owners of Kia Ora were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful. My room was very pleasant and cozy, and the service was excellent. The free Wi-Fi, even during scheduled loadshedding, was a bonus. The food was delicious, and I really enjoyed the homey atmosphere. It felt like home away from home. I will surely be back! I had a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend Kia Ora Guesthouse to others. Ferdie T Jacobs, June 2023

Wonderful friendly people and a very comfortable and neat environment. The house has character and a story... Breakfast was delicious and a lot of care taken to make our stay great. This will definitely be my Goto place in Beaufort West!

Sevetta is really an amazing host, who goes out of her way and made sure our stay was perfect. Sevetta knew the area well and made good recommendations. We had a quiet and relaxing stay just what we needed before returning home. We will definitely stay at Kia Ora again.

It is the BEST hosts in Beaufort-Wes!! 100% guaranteed! The most friendly people and most comfortable bed with peace and quiet you can ever ask for. (Beaufort-Wes can be noisy due to the N1 running through it.) This place is really tranquil! It is an Art Deco house with a history and connections to CJ Langenhoven. I really enjoyed it there. They were very accommodating and I will return for sure.

Lovely room and great hosts. Sevetta went out of her way to accommodate and assist us. She even suggested a place to eat and supplies snacks for the kids! Definitely recommend Kia Ora!

A wonderful spot to stay over in Beaufort West. Sevetta and her husband are incredibly welcoming, supremely friendly and make you feel immediately at home. We were offered wine on our arrival. Given popcorn while enjoying the social area and goodbye bran muffins given when we left. The room was spacious and well stocked with waters, wine and coffee, the bed extra comfy. It was a great stay over and one we would definitely do again.

Kia Ora is like a home away from home, actually it is even better because someone is there to spoil you. Sevetta and Envor are the kindest people you will ever meet and their home is absolutely beautiful. Sevetta went above and beyond to spoil us. She even had special things in the room for our baby. I will never stay anywhere else when passing through Beaufort West.

Kia Ora is well located, impeccably furnished (especially the bed) and run by some great hosts. Sevetta and Envor made their establishment truly feel like home and even though our stay was short, their willingness to assist and their friendly conversations will be our lasting memories of Beaufort West.

Our stay at Kia Ora was welcome respite on the long journey from Pretoria to Cape Town. We were greeted by Enver, a perfect gentleman, and his lovely wife Sevetta. Our room was upgraded when we arrived, which was great! Not only did the rooms come with ice cold fresh water, but the beds were extra length. For a 6'6" man, almost no other establishments provide this and I can tell you that the sleep was amazing. No expense was spared with the beds or the bedding. The room was clean as a whistle, which always makes one feel better and sleep easier. If you are planning to break your drive up into sections, I would always recommend staying at Kia Ora. I certainly will be returning again and again. We had arrived rather late in the evening and the sleepy town of Beaufort West closes relatively early. Enver and Sevetta thought that we might not find a place to grab dinner, so they prepared a barbeque dinner and popped a bottle of wine. This endeared the lovely couple to me; and it spoke volumes of their character. Enver and Sevetta, my wish for you is that your business goes from strength to strength and that you will always be blessed in this life. Thank you for a truly lovely stay!
