Positive: It was conveniently located from the airport and from town. Enjoyed the quiet ambience and friendly staff. The host was amazing, great cook and very hospitable.

Negative: Mosquitoes. I wish the room could have been sprayed well in advance before arrival or to provide a mosquito net for each room (save cost on buying mosquito spray everytime)

Summary: It was an amazing time spent. I’ddefinitely come back if i am ever in Pietermaritzburg again

Positive: The accommodation was certainly unusual. It was like stepping back in time or into a museum. I enjoyed making up stories about the items I found in the rooms. Great space with everything you need and plenty of a variety of plug points. Beautiful garden. Safe and secure. What really made my stay though were the fantastic hosts. From the warm welcome when we got there, the easy conversation to going out of their way to meet our needs. Facilitating an early check-in eventhough the rooms were occupied the previous day, upgrading one of our rooms at no cost to make us as comfortable as possible and having an iron in the ready, knowing we had very little time to get ready for the wedding we were attending.

Negative: It's not the fanciest place and because it's so old, it was a little musty but it's charm, value for money and great hosts more than made up for anything I can complain about. *I've just read the owner's response and ...Yeah ...speechless. Catty much! Not a great look when you're in the hospitality industry. ** Also, I asked if we could possibly check-in between 12.30pm and 1pm as we were attending a wedding at 2pm. We only ended up arriving at the property just after 1pm. My sister, who I reserved one of the three rooms for, actually left a day earlier and paid for an extra night in case early check-in was going to be a challenge. So to say we asked for 3 hours leeway is a bit of a stretch. I felt I needed to clarify that.

Summary: Great hosts made my stay

Positive: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Stay with Heartfelt Hospitality Title: A Perfect Blend of Comfort, Care & Culinary Delight! My stay at 79 On Ridge was nothing short of outstanding. From the warm welcome to the thoughtful touches throughout, this guesthouse truly understands hospitality. Vegetarian Breakfasts: As a vegetarian, I was genuinely impressed! Each morning brought a fresh, creatively prepared spread—far beyond the standard fare. Think orange juice, fried egg dishes, mushrooms, tomatoes and hashbrowns, toast, homemade jam and filtered coffee. It’s clear the kitchen takes pride in catering thoughtfully to dietary needs. Above & Beyond Service: A special thanks to Gys, whose kindness turned a simple request into an unforgettable gesture. I’d asked only for help drying my laundry—but returned to find every item perfectly ironed and neatly folded* on my bed. This attention to detail and willingness to "go the extra mile" (his words—and he means it!) reflects the soul of this place. The room was immaculate, the garden tranquil, and every interaction with the team felt personal and sincere. If you value genuine care, quiet luxury, and hosts who treat you like family, 79 On Ridge is a must-stay. I’ll be back!
