Yellow Aloe Guesthouse

We had a great stay. Beautiful room and delicious breakfast.

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 .

A lovely quirky guest house, very good breakfast. No dinner on the premises but very good places nearby. Lovely hosts, lots of hot water. Would return

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.

This is one of the nicest places we’ve ever stayed at; and we travel a LOT!!

Great place to stay when visiting the Cederberg. Spectacular gardens around the property with a beautiful pool. Walking distance to restaurants and shops as well as some of the more touristy attractions in town.

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!

Satisfactory one night stay in Clanwilliam, en route to interesting locations in the Cederberg. Staff are friendly, and breakfast is good.

Such a wonderful location. I think May is a particularly beautiful time. Warm and the garden was stunning. Full of birds. Great to sit outside for breakfast. Very helpful staff.

Beautiful garden setting, nicely appointed.

This is a comfortable and beautiful property with delightful gardens. The bedroom was spacious, clean and well equipped. Lovely en suite bathroom. Very good breakfast. Highly recommended.

Yellow Aloe is such a lovely property. Everyone there was so wonderful to interact with every day. I would recommend this place to everyone!! The pool was so wonderful to swim in every morning and the decor of the property was all around wonderful. I'd love to stay there again!

A little to cluttered and old fashioned for us. The bathroom was very very small and in need of a refurb.

Great country stay with lovely atmosphere. Friendly host, nothing to complain about at all.

Delightful character buildings with lots of history in a charming town. Excellent catering and a delightful and engaging "chef"

Amazing place with a beautiful garden, great breakfasts in a very safe and interesting little town. A wide variety of lovely well kept rooms , excellent hosts, would definitely return.

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.

great guest house, beautifully kept - fantastic onsite restaurant - just as well as there very limited choice in town!

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.
