Walking into a spanking clean, attractively decorated guest house or most inviting well-equipped guest room and sleeping between crisp, clean sheets on a good mattress with comfortable pillows so fresh that you would not know anyone else has slept on them before, may speak volumes about the management of a guest house. But the true and final evaluation of enjoyment or disappointment often happens in the dining room and is closely related to the quality of both the food and the service.

What with an impending global economic meltdown, local politics in a bit of an upheaval, climate change happening faster and more destructively, oil prices going through the roof and the world running out of rice, it wouldn’t be surprising if your hotel bar suddenly has a lot more patronage. Many of these patrons may be business travellers who want to appear to be “drinking with the boys”, but in actual fact need to close a billion-rand deal at 6.30 the next morning and don’t really want to attempt it with a hangover.
