Very comfortable, clean and neat rooms
Having stayed in different rooms over a period of 5 months, I can say that the rooms are very comfortable, clean and neat. The room are all individual. Having free w-fi was very important. Internet is important if you come from the United Kingdom and need to work in South Africa for a while. I have also stayed at severa other B&Bs in and around...

Great time
We had a great time! staff was proffessional and friendly! we really enjoyed our stay, rooms are beautiful and neat.
The garden was tranquil and nice. Our rooms and beds were made up each time we went out, that was too awesome! Room Tip: Middle room is chilled especially if it too hot.

Our first choice in Pietermaritzburg
We first stayed at The Jays in 2008 when they had completed their new extension. We return every year and are automatically placed in our little "home".
Lovely hosts and good value. Our first choice in Pietermaritzburg.

The room was most pleasing
First impression of The Jays Guesthouse was favourable. John, the owner, extended a warm welcome as did Rudi, John's best friend, the spaniel. The room was most pleasing, immaculately clean and well supplied with everything you would have at home. In fact, I stayed for three nights and felt safe, warm and comfortably at home. Both John and Jane were the epitome of discretion, a sought after characteristic amongst guesthouse owners.
Loved taking my morning breakfast, seated on the wide veranda listening to the repetitive tune of the "rainbird" calling out it's age old warning, "Piet, maak gou," urging the farmers to make haste harvesting their crops!

I'll definitely pop in again. Koos
Wonderful stay
We had a wonderful stay. The room had everything we needed, the shower was fantastic and the fact that it was such a quiet area ensure a good night's sleep.
The garden is beautiful and well maintained. We will use this accommodation again and will highly recommend it to others.

Perfect for what we needed
Dear Jane,
Just a quick thank you for your hospitality this last weekend. We found The Jays perfect for what we needed and felt most welcome.
A special thank you to you for doing the extra breakfasts on your days off , we really appreciated it and it really helped to not have to worry about making it.
Thank you for all your hospitality.

I really enjoyed my time here
Hi John and Jane,
Thank you for a wonderful stay! I really enjoyed my time here. Even though your B&B is one of the best I have stayed in, it is your hospitality and friendship that I will remember.
It feels like I have become part of your family.
May the Lord Jesus bless you.
Best regards, Koos
We recommend the Jays Guesthouse to everyone!
We've been in the Camellia Cottage and it was a very nice room with a small kitchen and a bathroom.
You can order your breakfast every evening for the next day, so it is very flexible. The breakfast was very good and multisided - from fruits and joghurt to bacon, eggs, sausages and more.
Jane & John are very friendly and so we can just recommend the Jays Guesthouse to everyone!! :)
