De Molen Guest House Facilities

Facilities

Airport Transfer: We are more than happy to arrange an airport transfer for you - saving you stress and money.

Braai: The lapa features a large braai (BBQ) area. Please ask us one or two days in advance if you want us to arrange a braai pack for you. This includes two kinds of meat or fish (or a mix), a salad and a dessert. You can get drinks from the honesty bar.

Bar Drinks are available throughout the day at the honesty bar.

Business service: Ask reception if you want to use the computer, fax- or copy machine.

Car hire: We can help organise car hire for you – either in advance or when you get here. The car can be delivered at the airport or at De Molen Guest House. We tend to get better local rates.


Drinking Water: It’s safe to drink tap water. If you do not like the taste, bottled water (still and sparkling) is available at the bar. In the lounge you can ask for or take complimentary filtered drinking water.


Fire place: In the lounge we have a nice fireplace for cold winter nights or romantic evenings throughout the year. Read a book from our library, serve yourself a drink from the honesty bar and let us the fire place.

Internet access: We have wireless internet access in all rooms. There is also a computer you can use in the lounge. Internet access is free!

Jacuzzi: Next to the upper terrace there is a 6 person Jacuzzi. Let us know 15 minutes before you want to use it, so we can set the right temperature.

Laundry: Same day service. Dry cleaning takes a day or two.

Languages: At least one of us speaks English, Dutch, Afrikaans, German, French and Portuguese.

Reception: The reception provides, on top of the business facilities, all the little extras that can make your stay more comfortable: confirmation of your flights, shower caps, soap, sewing kit, shoe polisher, European power plugs, etc…

Shop: In the reception area we have a little shop where we sell products that support small projects in Somerset West and elsewhere in South Africa. Please come and see if there is anything you like and also help the local people that need it most.
