The Post House | Greyton Guest House

...was built in 1860 and is situated in the heart of Greyton. The spacious guest rooms are newly renovated and each has it's own unique character...

Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit The delightful literary and artistic world of Beatrix Potter's old rural England finds a natural affinity in Greyton, itself a bit of old England in the Western Cape mountains. The place was built in 1860, as a post office of course, but the corner street entrance is now much more famously recognisable as the door to the Country Pub, another little piece of old English culture. It lies at the centre of the old village with chocolate shops and tearooms nearby, and is set in a lovely rose garden.

Little wonder that people love to get married, or honeymoon here. The Beatrix Potter connection is that the rooms are named after characters from her books.

The accommodation was fantastic – very comfortable and warm - with a personal touch.
The food was absolutely unbelievable – very fresh and tasty… and so much of it!

The service was so professional – there was always someone willing to bring something or to clean-up afterwards.

The conference room was very well equipped and the lay-out was perfect!

To conclude… I will definitely keep it in mind for another work session or even for a personal break away.
I enjoyed the venue and food tremendously. Usually I experience problems with vegetarian option but they took good care of me.
The venue was superb, the people running the place was very accommodating, friendly and available at all times. I highly recommend this venue. The service was good, and the spreads laid out for us was excellent.
FANTASTIC!!! I will recommend The Post House for any person that suffers from anorexia, because no-one will return home thin after a few days there! The rooms and facilities was excellent and the conversations with management was extremely enjoyable.
I could not stop talking about The Post House. Besides the fact that the accommodation and variety of dishes were superb – the hospitality and the way they catered for all our needs is an outstanding characteristic.
Everything was perfect. The rooms were neat, clean and very well equipped with good linen and great aircon. I would personally have preferred a desk/working station in the room, but this is not a must have, as you should actually just relax at such a great place. The food and drinks were outstanding!
Absolutely perfect in every way! The cosy nook with the large wood burning fire made us feel welcome as we entered The Post House, followed by a welcome smile from all staff and I had a cappuccino in my hand within 5 minutes… do I need to say more… absolutely perfect… All our needs were catered for 24/7 and we even gained a few extra kg’s from the fabulous food. I left the venue on Friday feeling totally inspired and relaxed (even after a session that lasted until 01:30 in the morning)! I WILL BE BACK!!!
