The Richmond Cafe and Rooms

Interessant, keurig, uniek.

Heerlik! Goed georganiseer.

Charming.

Charming place to rest after a long drive. Has lovely little spaces to explore.

Vriendelik, heerlik stil en rustig. Swembad heerlik.

Baie lekker gebly. Sou daarvan gehou het as daar 'n klein yskas was en 'n groter asblik vir al die rommel van 'n lang rit.

Fantastic space and location.

Calming and restful place. Attention to detail, beautiful spaces.

Die liefde van die eienaar is te sien in die kleinste detail van die plek.

Hierdie plek is 'n juweel in die Karoo. Ek sal vir seker dit my toekomstige rusplek maak indien ek na die Wes-Kaap reis. Die bestuurder is goed opgelei en mens voel sommer tuis met haar eerste glimlag.

Die juweel van die Karoo.

The Richmond Cafe and Rooms is 'n juweel. Dit is presies wat mens nodig het na 'n lang dag op die pad. Hulle het die mooiste plek en kamers. Richmond Cafe het die lekkerste kos en bekende melktert. Hulle Karoo Padstal is ook 'n moet sien. Trotse Afrikaans.

Perfekte oornag plek!

Verblyf was perfek vir oornag, stylvol en die aanete was baie lekker!

Lieflik!

'n Lieflike plek met lieflike dekor en vriendelike diens. Perfek as jy reis met honde.

Absolutely bloody marvellous.

I was welcomed by a lady called Berna, I think her name was. She is a gem and should be well looked after. She is so pleasant, friendly, informative, and helpful. She made me feel so welcome and she was so attentive to every detail. She assisted me from my arrival until after supper and she treated me like royalty. Thank you, Berna, for being a special soul. The food was out of this world. I have never tasted a lamb curry so delicious. The attention to detail is amazing. The way breakfast was served was an absolute delight. The rooms were clean and so beautifully set out. A person could want for nothing. All the comforts were there from sherry in the room to tea, coffee, water, hot chocolate, rusks etc. Everything was thought of. I would highly recommend this establishment. Loved every moment of it.

Perfect.

We felt very at home with a warm welcome at the gate and a delicious dinner!

A beautiful, stylish place to stay. Highly recommended.

The BnB is just too quaint. It is set in a very pretty part of Richmond. I loved it as there was something just so "Karoo authentic" about it, with some new eye candy at every turn. A small beautifully embroidered chair seat, a glorious Karoo garden and veggie area. A collection of local art, a little gallery with a few designer clothing items on offer. The list goes on. The linen was crisp, the whole vibe is muted shades, but mainly white. The dinner was so yummy. I had the crispy and perfectly prepared lamb chops. My husband had a delicious chicken schnitzel. They are not licensed so bring your own wine! Would really recommend this as a place to stay!

Beautiful, crisp, white, cool, arty, tasty food, clean, neat, friendly - 5 stars.

All I can say is, wow, what a gem in the Karoo! We stopped over for the night from Johannesburg to Cape Town and wish we could have 'zenned' out for at least 3 days just to get the full effect of the beautiful lodge and still get to taste all the different yummy food they had to offer in their stunning little cafe full of character. Thank you for a lovely stay! I highly recommend it!

Richmond sien ons beslis weer.

Ons het heerlik gebly! Ons kamer was mooi en baie gerieflik ingerig. Badkamergeriewe en handdoeke was van baie goeie gehalte. Lekker filterkoffie en beskuit vir vroegoggend. Ons hond het saam gereis en daar was 'n lekker lap gras vir hom. Ons aandete was uit die boonste rakke! Van die lekkerste lamskerrie wat ons nog gehad het in die Karoo. Richmond, die dorpie, lyk ook baie goed. Dit lyk asof meeste mense daar werklik moeite doen om die dorp mooi te hou. Ons sal beslis weer hier kuier!

The Richmond Cafe and Rooms is worth an overnight stay in this Karoo dorp.

The hosts were the perfect hosts. The food (dinner) was excellent, and the rooms were very comfortable. Our vehicle was safely parked behind locked gates.

Old fashioned.

Hospitable staff and great service.

Veilige oornagplek tussen Johannesburg en Kaapstad.

Oornag op reis vanaf Johannesburg na Kaapstad. Dit was ‘n baie koue nag wat ons daar oorgebly het, pragtige kamer met ‘n warm bed, lekker kos en vriendelike mense wat ons ontvang het. Dankie Klaradyn en familie.

Wonderlik!

Klaradyn en haar span is baie ingesteld op hul kliente. Die atmosfeer is rustig, kunstig met heerlike kos!

Pragtige styl en gerieflike bed.

Heerlike verblyf en fantastiese Karoo-aandete! Personeel het spesiaal vir my gewag vir my laat inboek.

Great stay and friendly hosts!

Great accommodation and also for dogs!

Geniet elke oomblik daar. Sal nie die ry Kaap toe en terug doen sonder om daar te bly nie.

Love wat Klaradyn met die plek gedoen het en die hoë standaarde wat hulle daar stel. Definitief 'n hoogtepunt op die pad Kaap toe en terug.

Mooi, uniek en uiters gasvry.

Die plek is soos 'n heerlike verassing in die middel van die Karoo. Smaakvol en uniek. Almal wat daar werk is verwelkomend. Klaradyn het vir ons die lekkerste toebroodjies gemaak vir ons fietsrit. Aandag aan detail.

Vreeslik lekker gerus.

Baie lekker hier gebly.

Attention to detail with lots of character.

Loved my stay here. The rooms and establishment are beautifully decorated. There was nothing I would change, the staff and owners were helpful and lovely. The best part was that they are very dog friendly; fenced gardens and their onsite restaurant allowed dogs. Opted for dinner onsite, the food and service were both on point. The town was nice for a stroll, with little shops and an interesting-looking museum.

Vriendelik, verwelkomend, uitstekende diens, heerlike kos en pragtige kamers!

Die hele plek is só smaakvol ingerig!

Lovely place and friendly service.

Lovely rooms and grounds. Great for dogs. A delicious supper was provided as well. Will definitely stay there again!

We loved the charm of the place, the dinner was absolutely delicious, the service excellent.

Our only problem was arriving in load shedding to a very dark, hot room. I would suggest lanterns and a battery-operated fan.

Vriendelike staff, plek netjies en mooi, kos uitstekend.

Sien sterre.

Wonderful place, delicious food and friendly staff!

Perfect location between the Cape and Gauteng for an overnight stop on your road trip!

Ek het gevoel asof ek binne in 'n kom 'magic' geval het.

Die detail en uitvoering van die dekor, die kos, die diens, alles was puik en het ons verblyf wonderlik gemaak. Ons sal dit defnitief in die toekoms gebruik as ons tussen Pta en Kaapstad reis. Julle matrasse is 'n bietjie hard. Kyk miskien na die Kooi firm matras by Matress Warehouse. Dis 'n memory foam matras, vervaardig in SA en baie bekostigbaar.

Stylvolle verblyf met lieflike badkamer en beddens.

'n Luukse oase na 'n lang reis. Fantastiese atmosfeer en gasvreiheid.

Beste oorslaapplek in Richmond.

Dit was ons tweede keer by The Richmond Cafe and Rooms. Dit is 'n wonderlike oorslaap tussen Pretoria/Johannesburg en Kaapstad. Hulle bied heerlike kos en lieflike verblyf. Die aandag aan detail en dekor is besonders.

'n Absolute juweel.

Dit is asof alles waaraan Nicol en Klaradyn raak in goud verander. Baie dankie vir julle gasvryheid! Die plek is uiters keurig ontwerp en ingerig, omgord van 'n lieflike groentetuin. Die foto's doen dit nie "justice" nie. Die kos is fenomenaal (ek droom nou nog van daardie geurige lamskerrie, die soet tamatie- en uieslaai, die kraakvars brood en botter). En pryse so billik, ons het amper gedink daar was êrens 'n fout. Ons kan nie die Richmond Cafe and Rooms genoeg loof nie. Maak seker jy besoek MAP ('n wêreldklas kunsgalery verder af in die hoofstraat), John se tweedehandseboekwinkel om die draai, en, op pad uit, die Karoo Padstal sowat 20km noord van Richmond - van die beste omelette en roosterkoeke wat ons al ooit geproe het.

Wonderful stay with the most beautiful linen and exquisite textures. Highly recommended!

I will stay here on my future travels. This place made me feel like a queen.

Ons was aangenaam verras.

'n Kleine juweel van 'n plek. Klaradyn en haar personeel het ons vriendelik ontvang. Heerlike kos en lieflike verblyf. Sal graag weer daar wil bly.

'n Breek vir die langpad.

Perfekte stop tussen Pretoria/Johannesburg en Kaapstad. Dis baie naby aan die hoofweg. Sylvie en Klaradyn laat jou voel soos ou vriende met heerlike kos en kuiers. Die kamers is pragtig en dit is smaakvol versier met oud en nuut. Jy voel baie veilig daar. Sal dit vir seker voorstel!

Enjoyable!

Would have liked a breakfast option.

Wonderlik na 'n lang dag op die pad.

Oulike plekkie. Het baie lekker geëet by die Vetmuis. Sal beslis weer daar oornag. Baie dankie.

Baie netjiese en skoon blyplek. Baie vriendelike personeel en heerlike kos.

Verblyf is baie netjies en skoon. Reg langs die museum geleë wat lekker is om te besoek met kinders. Personeel was baie aangenaam en die kos van die restaurant was heerlik!

Baie mooi en netjies plek.

Gawe mense!

Fantastiese blyplek tussen die Kaap en Johannesburg.

Dié plek is n droom! Van aankoms tot vertrek was dit net n wonderlike ondervinding. Sylvie het ons so vriendelik verwelkom en na die veilige parkeerplek geneem. Ons kon kies tussen twee kamers wat albei pragtig was. Later het ons 'n heerlike driegangmaaltyd geniet wat nog beter gemaak was deur Sylvie se puik diens en die kerslig & kaggel. Die eienaars, Nicol en Klaradyn het kom inloer-dit het ons so welkom en gemaklik laat voel. Ontbyt is beskikbaar by die Vetmuis deli 'n paar meter af in die straat of by Nicol & Klaradyn se padstal 10km noord op die N1. Ons het stilgehou by die padstal op pad huistoe. Wat 'n wonderlike ervaring. Dié mense het passie. Klaradyn het ons heeltyd op hoogte gehou met informasie, beurtkragskedules, dinge om te doen en soveel meer. Ons kan die plek nie genoeg aanbeveel nie! Baie dankie Nicol, Klaradyn en Sylvie vir 'n onvergeetlike afsluiting van ons vakansie.

Baie lekker, met ope arms ontvang en sal beslis weer gaan.

Waarlik kosbare ervaring. Was hartlik met ope arms ontvang. Kos was fantasties en 'n groot bederf. Het heerlik geslaap en sal beslis weer gaan kuier.

Karoo-juweel.

Keurige, stylvolle gastehuis. Absoluut pragtig. Die potjiesbad met kaggel daarby uniek. Ons het gesmul aan die geurige karoolamskerrie. Definitief aan te beveel!

Veilig en ontspanne in die pragtige Karoo-omgewing.

Vriendelike ontvangs met heerlike Karoo-geregte in die restaurant. Het lekker luuks gebly. Dankie!

Excellent.

Klaradyn and Nicol are excellent warm hosts. The rooms are beautiful with everything you need for an overnight stay if you're travelling cross-country. I travelled with 2 pets and they were welcome too.

Beautiful place and relaxed atmosphere.

The food, service and rooms were excellent. This is what every overnight stay should be like. Never expected this gem in a town like Richmond. Highly recommended.

Enchanting accommodation.

Loved our stay at the Richmond Rooms. The decor feels magical, we particularly enjoyed the victorian bath with fireplace. The hospitality is warm but not intrusive, and the food was really out-of-this-world. Best omelette we have ever eaten; we would be back every week for a meal if they were closer. Will definitely be back to stay when we can. This is the best stop-over option if you are driving between JHB and Cape Town, and stay a bit longer to enjoy the town and its art.
