😠 The room was a disappointment. Advertised as a Queen room - was very small and had a double bed (not a queen). In the middle of summer - the room had no air-con or a fan. Very noisy. Room was only cleaned after 2pm. Over priced for what you received. People often mention staff, friendly, stay, George, great, breakfast, clean, Acorn, rooms, room,

    Situated in the heart of George Acorn Guesthouse is one of the best places I’ve stayed at. It is close to all restaurants, shops and clubs. The staff is very professional and friendly and the rooms are clean. It is everything you need. I will definitely stay here again.

    A beautiful guesthouse in a central location - easy to access most of the central town by foot from there. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is different each morning and delicious. They have a pool that you can cool down in on the hot days. Its located next to a big, historical church and from my room I could hear the church bell every 30 minutes. Its not a terrible distraction, but if you can't sleep for whatever reason, the church bell will be a further distraction :) . This is not a reason to not book with Acorn, as I recommend that you do - perhaps just ask for one of the rooms at the back of the main house.

    Long story short. Very unhelpful staff. Beds weren't made. And wouldn't give us bedding. Not cool. 😂 So it's a no no from me. Won't go back.

  • 5/5 Wimpie S. 1 year ago on Google
    I was there for only one night but was very happy with the beautiful and clean room i was booked into. The gueathouse is close to restaurants and shops which are all within walking distance. As i had to leave early the next morning staff was more than willing to pack me a breakfast pack which was also better than a lot of previous guesthouses/hotels' breakfast packs. I would definately stay there again when i go to George in future.

  • 5/5 Morgan B. 2 years ago on Google
    The absolute best Guesthouse/Bed and breakfast in all of South Africa! Acorn is located in the town of George, a very central town making it easy to go on a new adventure everyday! Whether you want to head to the beach, kayak around Wilderness, hit up some wineries or breweries, hike through different terrains, visit an elephant park, or just experience some great local food then Acorn guesthouse is the spot! The owners, Colin and Esther, along with their family and employees are the sweetest people and can provide all the information you need to fully experience the wonderful town of George <3

    Booked my parents in for the night and they raved about the accommodation when they came home. My Mom who hates staying away loved it and would be happy to stay here again.

    Comfy bed. Neat spacious rooms. Pleasant outdoor areas with pool. Plesant and accomodating staff. Very nice breakfasts. A great place to stay

  • 5/5 Roy P. 5 years ago on Google
    To date, this is the finest establishment in George that I have had the pleasure of staying at. Situated directly over the road from the Mother Church, and with the bell tolling every 15 minutes, one can only imagine how much sleep I had the first night. Imagine my surprise when I found a set of ear-plugs in a vanity case, along with complimentary essentials. Very impressed with the professional manner in which the establishment is run.
