The bus only stopped at one refreshment stop in Laingsberg. Never let passenger disembark at Beaufort West nd the toilet on the bus is not even clean.
According to customer reviews, the bus is very comfortable. However, there have been complaints about delays in arrival times. Some customers had to wait for several hours past their scheduled departure time. Additionally, a few reviews mentioned the presence of cockroaches on the bus and requested that this issue be addressed promptly.

Eagle Liner Colesberg Cape Town recent customer reviews
What I enjoyed was access to the bathroom and the staff. What I didn't enjoy was their service is terrible. It was suppose to have arrived at 1:25am and get to Cape Town around 11am. It got to Colesberg at 03:54 and got to Cape Town 14:32. Unacceptable. The cold air of the air-conditioner was opened throughout the trip.

The experience was horrible, I was traveling from Colesburg to Cape town, firstly the bus was originally booked for 20:20pm Sunday, but for me to receive a text Sunday morning about the bus only leaving at 02:35am due to technical problems, but then it got to us at 03:16am, as if that was all, on the way just before the tunnel, it stopped in the middle of nowhere with people including drivers, getting water from the mountain with small bottles
