We stayed for 2 nights in this lovely place which oozes character - the accommodation was very clean and tidy, and the 6 foot long bath was great!

Situated within walking distance of Historical Old Town and also adjacent to the mountain. Heard night jars, bush babies, and owls. However, did not see porcupine!

Great Value Good & Clean & Fresh Place to ReEnergise your Soul -
09 July 2007
After a long dreary dusty drive, Fountain Baths Guest House is welcoming nurturing reviving.
We have stayed in many five star hotels and not felt as cared for. Charming surroundings, really clean air, serene gardens, and clean accomodation.
We highly recommend this venue as great value for money and a really great place to stay, with many action activities (paragliding, quad, horse, trails, birding etc, etc)
