Company info

Welcome to Goodey's Guesthouse! Hantie and I bought this property in 2013 and after our children left the proverbial nest, we decided to renovate the whole property into the current 4*. We opened our doors during 2010, just before the FIFA World Cup and have never looked back. Our guests enjoy their stay with us so much that our current rating at this website is an excellent 9.4. We really hope that you, as a prospective guest, will enjoy your experience just as much.

Property info
