JC Studios Ermelo

Warm welcome Clean room Safe All that we needed.

Toilet door could not close properly.

Writing a review is not something I normally do, but I feel JC Studios and owner Athol deserve a few lines at the very least. During the past 42 years, I have travelled extensively throughout South Africa and to many parts of the world, experiencing all kinds of accommodation, from Airbnbs and guest houses to luxury hotels. I can honestly say that I do not recall a more comfortable and enjoyable stay than the one I experienced at JC Studios Guest House in Ermelo — especially considering the price and the fact that it is a small town. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming, warm and relaxed, and I only wish I could have stayed longer. Athol is the owner, manager, chef and apparently just about everything else all rolled into one! He personally prepared both dinner and breakfast, and was incredibly friendly. He greeted me at reception more like an old friend than a guest. He even went the extra mile and made a special arrangement for me to park my old and valuable car safely in his private parking area — something I really appreciated. And then there was the food! The portion sizes were absolutely amazing, while the taste and quality were comparable to what I would expect from a 5-star restaurant. Unfortunately, I could not even finish my dinner, never mind get through the fabulous dessert — and breakfast only made it halfway! And for the record, I am certainly not a small man! 😂 I would recommend JC Studios Guest House without hesitation. In fact, I honestly cannot imagine that any guest house in Ermelo could beat the combination of hospitality, comfort, food and value that I experienced here. Thank you, Athol, for a wonderful stay. If I am ever passing through Ermelo again, I know exactly where I will be staying!

Nothing to dislike!

Location was easy to find, rooms generally very clean and we loved the unusually large bathrooms and electric blankets. The owner was very friendly too, will definitely return when we are in ermelo again.
