All Comments for Fountain Baths Guest House

Our spacious self catering accommodation was well appointed and had lovely decor and beautiful touches. The large kitchen was well equipped. We enjoyed our meals on the little patio with a view to the lush gardens and listened to the sounds of numerous different birds. The guesthouse is close to all places of interest on the history trail. Many thanks to our hosts for the interesting conversations.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay. Very clean excellant value great very friendly and helpful people. A must if you are in this area

Nic and his wife have only recently taken over and seem to be working hard to create a pleasant experience. A little more attention to small detail such as bathroom plug that let the water out, a shower cable with a kink and bigger towels would help but overall very pleasant stay for a weekend. Would definitely try them again

We had a great overnight experience at Fountain Baths Guest House in Barberton and will recommend this place to anybody without reserve. Beautiful garden and excellent facilities; right up against the mountain. The history of the area is of course very interesting and the fact that some of the oldest rock formations in the world are right there, is a plus. It is really worth a visit.

History isn't everybody's cuppa, but almost every place in Barberton just oozes it.

Staying in a place as old as Fountain Baths Guest House where the owner clearly loves the place was a pleasant experience. If you don't need to be entertained or live in the ritz this is a great choice. The breakfast was well prepared and we feel that we definitely got our money's worth.

 

I had a great stay at Fountains Baths and Sue went out of her way to accommodate some of my special requests. My room was beautiful, spacious and very peaceful.

As I only stayed for one night the accommodation was fine and everything was adequate. The room had a strange layout and everything seemed quite dated. The "fountain" which presumably gives the place it's name was running outside my room all the time which was a bit annoying and the room was overlooked so I could not open the curtains. For one night it was absolutely fine.

This is a quaint, but very nice Guest house. It is made up of different units in style, deco and look. These are situated in a wonderful garden.The surroundings (mountains) are beautiful. Units have all you need. The owner is very friendly.

Pleasant - attention to detail required.

Place is beautifully maintained, with wonderful gardens and pool.

Had a very pleasant stay at this guest house - pity it was just for one night. The rooms were very comfortable and the setting, especially the gardens, was gorgeous. The photos online did not do it justice.

Comfortable and clean accommodation in nice surroundings.

Definitely not three-star accommodation. Ridiculously low doorways are downright dangerous; drains were blocked; dirty microwave; old and grubby hotplate with no oven or grill; dirty kitchen utensils; burglar bars had been cut through and never repaired; room faces courtyard which is the main thoroughfare from everywhere to everywhere else so no privacy at all. We left after one night.

Thanks. Very nice.

We found the setting tranquil and interesting. Sue, one of the owners, gave hands on service, excellent breakfasts and was able to direct us to places of interest that were not museums. The nightly chorus of tree frogs delighted us and captured the atmosphere of "old mining days".

Clean and friendly

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!

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)

We enjoyed our very brief stay at this lovely guest house. The cottages were set in a lovely garden setting and we found the rooms very roomy with everything that we needed.

It was a first trip to Barbeton - well worth it and the Fountain Bath Guest House was excellent - very comfortable, very helpful and a great breakfast.

We saw many accomodations during our 4-wwek-round trip, but I enjoy remembering Fountain Baths. Greetings to Kevin, who was a pleasant host and interesting conversationalist at the bar! We´ll perhaps come back in 2010...

we had a very nice stay at Fountain Baths guest house. We had forgotten it was self catering and it was a good surprise. We could have a rest there in a beautiful garden and take our time in the middle of a very exciting trip to South Africa

Hosts very friendly, accomodation excellent,
