Cute little oasis

Very pretty gardens . Our garden cottage was a bit dark and the lighting poor but very nicely furnished . The breakfast was delightful. A pretty oasis in the centre of Clanwilliam .

BEST FOR GROUPS IN SEASON

RECEPTION GOOD, Stairs a bit difficult to get luggage up, but help at hand, room key doesnot fit well, Owner hands on .Excellent bed mattress nice and firm. Could do with more modern plug points for mobile and laptops. Good free internet. BIG tour GROUPS tend to get better service than solos.

Lovely Guesthouse, highly recommend

We had a wonderful two night stay at the Yellow Aloe Guesthouse. Would definitely recommend as a place to stay in Clanwilliam and visit the surrounding area. We were well looked after and had a great time.

This beautiful place is like a trip to another realm… so peaceful and with so many hidden garden areas to escape into. Our upstairs room in the main building, The Cream Room, was great… though if you are over 6 feet tall you will need to watch your head on the support beams of the ceiling in this charming room. They are right in the midst of Clanwilliam, so able to walk to shops, restaurants, etc. when you decide to venture outside the gates of Yellow Aloe, yet so quiet you’ll believe you’re already out in the countryside. Owners and staff are amazingly kind and efficient. Definitely hope to get back!

Nice guest house with beautiful gardens

This guest house is very comfortable, with lovely grounds and helpful staff. Though the guest house didn't have power for part of our stay (we arrived during a power outage caused by a storm), the owners and staff tried as much as possible to meet our needs and provide a pleasant stay. We were quite taken with the decor, and enjoyed the breakfast, as well as the guest house in general. A good place to stay while exploring the Cederberg.

Fruitful and green

Clanwilliam is not a place to stay for a holiday. It is a rather tire'd little town. Yellow Aloe guesthouse is one of the best of the accommodation offered. Cheryl Spilsbury throws her heart and soul into improving and maintaining the several buildings she has acquired since my first visit in 2009. I believe some of the rooms are much more comfortable and with a mountain view, offer greater peace and quiet. My room faced the road, and it was a little gloomy and certainly noisy. The staff are wonderful. Joseph, Cheryl's right hand man, who, with his wife who also supervises the rooms, hails from Malawi. The food is very good, but service is agonisingly slow. I would have liked coffee to have been served in individual cafetieres, rather than by a pump system, which is not ideal. Also breakfast could be more inviting, choice was small, and all in all, not the best I have had. But the location, the garden, nursery where one can purchase lovely plants, and general ambience, combined with Cheryl, her partner Michel, and her daughter Megan, all of whom throw themselves into ensuring guests are happy and satisfied, leave little to be desired. Brava Cheryl...

pleasant comfortable country stay

Stayed for one night as convenient place. They don't offer dinner and on Sunday Eve choices are limited. Avoid the restaurant in the Clanwilliam Hotel. Lovely gardens and very relaxing place with excellent hosts.
