“The Elgin Guest House feels lived-in and welcoming, with rooms that impress with their comfort and tasteful furnishings. What stood out was the genuine attentiveness of the host, Lindiwe, who went out of her way to ensure a smooth stay and even assisted with dinner reservations. Its convenient setting, adjacent to a restaurant and shops with delightful free-roaming fowl, makes it a truly pleasant place to be.”
