8/10
On a trip from Tshwane to the Eastern Cape, Springfontein is a convenient stopover point, about 60% of the way home. It is just off the N1, and hence convenient for a mostly-N-road trip home (R roads can have terrible potholes).
Pieter phoned before we set out to ensure that we knew that there were no restaurants nearby, and was equally helpful once we arrived, finding a fridge for us. Everything was clean and tidy and the facilities were excellent, with good-quality bed and bathroom including linen and supplies.
The TV has a cheaper satellite service than DSTV, Openview, with fewer options, but we were there to rest on a long trip, so we did not miss our usual entertainment and news options.
Just two minor quibbles – a helpful list of options such as asking for a gate remote if you want to go for a walk would be good. And the curtain was not heavy enough to mask an outside light.
