Travelling from Cape Town to Joburg overnighted at 3 Darling Street on a cold winters night. Room had heater and electric blanket to keep us warm. Had coffee facilities and comfy bed with lots of bedclothes. Ordered pizza in the pub and hosts Dave and Heather , and other locals, provided interesting conversation and insight into Hanover. A pleasant experience in a small Karoo town.

Fun in Hanover

The area is rather rundown with people sitting on pavements drinking.  Their solution to loadshedding are battery charged lamps including in their bar/restaurant area. During loadshedding you have no access to water which in turns means no ablution facilities. This is not what you want After a 7 1/2 drive from Cape Town. Ypur car is parked in a short drive way with a gate just under 2 meters high making one question security.  Once we had looked around we made an educated decision to drive on home. We had settled our bill in full prior to arriving so we asked the owner to refund us less the deposit but he refused outright. Please don't be fooled by the pictures and older comments.

Shady area and no electricity back up during loadshedding

Great place to sleep from Pretoria to Cape Town. The host's Dave and Heather are very friendly and welcoming. Food was great. Our room was nice. The bed was comfy. Would recommend this place to everyone.

We stayed at 3 Darling Street in February 2022 as a stop over on our way to the Western Coast. Although the little town seems to be slightly dilapidated following COVID, the historical rooms were really lovely, with everything you could need for a quick stop over. We were lucky enough to have the house to ourselves and we could escape the Karoo heat in the lounge. It was clean, neat and the beds were great. It is very safe, with secure parking. The fan in the room is definitely a necessity. The owner and staff are extremely friendly. We had their famous extra large pizzas and we would definitely recommend the Greek Pizza. We would definitely recommend it for an overnight stay.

Great stop over in the Karoo

We just wanted a place to rest and refresh. The room was clean and pleasantly cosy. We shared the house with other guests and we worried that the squeeky floor with disturb them because the floor was very squeeky. The shower was refreshing after the long drive. Hanover is hot and almost deserted. The fan brought a bit of relief but with no bar fridge and no aircon (not even in the communal lounge) we had to go ice hunting. The pub owned by the same owners was wonderful, the veg and steak were great and so was the company at the bar (just not the foccacia - that really was pizza dough). A great resting place between Cape Town and Joburg. 

Sleepover 

We stopped over on our way to Cape Town and were pleasantly surprised by this little gem.  Great food and a wonderful owner couple made our stay awesome.  I will definitively recommend this place and stay over again !

Great overnight stop

I would highly recommend this geust house as a halfway stop to refresh if you are travelling to or from Jo'burg to Cape Town. 
Dave and Heather are amazing hosts and I will certainly say that I feel I've made two new friends. I was received with a warm welcome and assistance with lock up parking, not that it seems needed as crime isn't an issue in this little town. 
The rooms are very spacious, clean and neat with decor that is a little more than meets the eye. The bed and linnen was silky soft and I slept like a king. 
The building was built in 1848 and it will take you back in time if you appreciate that sort of thing.  I loved it, wish I could spend a day longer though. 
The pub and restaurant across the road is a must for a nightcap and the pizza was delicious.  The food is very proudly prepared and presented.  
You might be lucky to get to meet some local farmers popping into the pub and Dave also has a very nice guitar in the bar he'll let you play if you can ;) I've never quite met anyone like the Karoo people. I suggest spend a few days and go for a walk around town you'll be surprised to see there are still some friendly people in the world. Very tourist friendly. 
They have a full English breakfast and a good cup of coffee too. 
Truly a good experience at a very affordable price through and through worth it!
Will never drive past Hanover without making a stop at 3 Darling street geust house again. Well done on your establishment! 

A real Karoo gem!

Nice, neat family room with own bathroom. Communal lounge / tv room. Off street parking. Cozy restaurant with the biggest, most tasty pizzas we had in a while! Great, friendly hosts. If you looking for a comfortable, neat stop over, this is a great option.

Overnight halfway stop

Comfortable unique hideaway exactly half way between Jhb & Cape Town. Refresh and awesome meals, karoo lamb chops delicious. The pizzas do not disappoint. Booking essential as it fills up quickly, for those who want to break their journey.

Halfway roadtrip

It is a quirky little town half way to Cape Town from JHB. The owners were extremely helpful when we arrived at night and lamb chops were amazing. Dinner portion sizes were very generous! However it was freezing (-3) and the rooms felt it. It was ok when you were in bed but the bathroom took my breath away (and not in the good sense), if you do decide to stay there during the winter please bear that in mind. It is a lovely old house but with that comes coldness...
