I can't put into words the appreciation and gratitude I have for Gys who welcomed me and my Mom into his accommodation. My Mom arrived a few days prior to me due to a family emergency and he was extremely helpful in ensuring she could get to the shops, felt welcomed and comfortable until I could get there. The accommodation was excellent. Spacious rooms with ensuites. Comfortable beds. Totally unique bohemian style, lovely garden to have your morning coffee in or evening drink by the Koi pond. I can't recommend them enough. Will definitely use again in the future if ever needed.

The cottage was very tastefully decorated and well equipped. Gys made us feel very welcome and attended to everything we needed, even phoning us to notify us that we forgot our charger there. We will definitely stay at 79 on Ridge again when in Pietermaritzburg.

I experienced such a friendly welcome, and the most feminine and exuberantly decorated room that had been created with great flair. The warmth of the hospitality and generosity of spirit was truly one of a kind. Thank you Gys for a very happy stay.
