KOKSTAD ACCOMMODATION - Ripplemead Guesthouse

Description

KOKSTAD ACCOMMODATION - East Griqualand which is part of KwaZulu-Natal,  is renowned for it's beautiful, tranquil surroundings. Here "Ripplemead Guesthouse" quietly rests overlooking Mt. Currie, offering the weary a place of peace and tranquillity.

Ripplemead is not a hotel, it is a home away from home that offers all the comforts conducive to a great get away.

Crispy white linen and lace, bunches of lavender, fresh, full cream farm milk and crystal clear spring water on tap, are just some of the special country perks that sets it apart from any state of the art hotel.

Our guests return time and time again to experience that special country charm.

Ripplemead is easily accessible and very conveniently situated, only 100m off the N2 (your national road to the Cape) and 14kms from the busy hub of KOKSTAD. No need to enter Kokstad at all, just fill up with petrol at the "Wimpy/Engen One-Stop" on the outskirts of the town, it's convenient and completely hassle-free.

The old farmhouse and attached rondavel have been beautifully converted and refurbished and offer friendly farm hospitality, and delicious breakfasts. Kokstad is close enough for a visit to Cassandra's Coffee Shop, Spur or Wimpy for a lovely evening out and great menu choices. An added luxury at Ripplemead is the crystal clear spring water which is on tap in all the units.
