Lekker ruim, skoon en goed toegerus.

Ons het as gesin daar oorgeslaap op pad terug Jhb toe. Huis is lekker groot, baie netjies en skoon en besonder goed toegerus. Loopafstand vanaf Die Ou Kar-restaurant. Ons sal dit definitief aanbeveel.

Nice and spacious, clean and well equipped.

We spent the night there as a family on our way back to Jhb. House is nice and big, very neat and clean and particularly well equipped. Walking distance from Die Ou Kar restaurant. We would definitely recommend it.

Skoon en netjiese oornagplek.

Ons het 1 nag oorgeslaap. Die huis was baie skoon en netjies. Ek dink dit is 'n bietjie duur. Geen koffie of beskuit in die kombuis soos wat ons gewoonlik by 'n oornagplek kry nie.

Clean and tidy place to stay.

We stayed 1 night. The house was very clean and tidy. I think it is a bit expensive. No coffee or biscuits in the kitchen as we usually get at a place to stay the night.

Nie waarde vir geld nie.

Waarde vir geld nie aan te beveel nie. Was 'n laat bespreking, kon nie plek iewers kry op pad vanaf Gauteng na Plett toe nie. Stort se water loop nie uit nie en min voorsiening vir beurtkrag. Geen WiFi waarvan ons bewus was nie.

Not value for money.

Value for money not recommended. Was a late booking, couldn't get a place somewhere on the way from Gauteng to Plett. Shower's water does not run out and little provision for load shedding. No WiFi that we were aware of.

5 on Roux 's response

Hi Ansie,

Thank you for your feedback. The load shedding is particularly problematic and we haven't invested in any additional sources for power sources as yet. The water in town is supplied via electric pumps, hence the low water pressure and we communicate this as part of our check-in. Our properties are not Wi-Fi enabled and we don't advertise this as a service.

Thanks for the additional patience during load shedding.

Best regards,
Tim

Dit is 'n pragtige huisie met historiese sjarme.

Lieflike buiteareas en daar is soveel detail in alles wat bydrae om dit 'n bekoorlike atmosfeer te gee. Veilig en rustig. Sal definitief weer besoek. Pragtige huisie met historiese sjarme. Het die detail en aandag wat binne en buite gegee is baie waardeer. Die plekkie is nog mooier as wat die foto's wys. Sal definitief weer gaan en langer bly. Die gasheer baie bedagsaam.

'n Ware juweel.

Ons was aangenaam verras. Alles wat jy nodig het is daar. Pragtige plek met ruim kamers, kwaliteit linne en afwerkings, groot tuin vir kinders om van oortollige energie ontslae te raak. Spyt ons het slegs 1 nag oorgeslaap. Ideale oornag bestemming op pad, dis die moeite werd.

‘n Pragtige huisie waar jy tuis voel in die Vrystaat!

Was mal oor die plek toe ek die fotos sien op die webtuiste, maar dit was selfs mooier toe ons daar kom. Baie skoon en netjies en genoeg dinge om mens besig te hou. Ongelooflike goeie waarde vir geld.

Dit was baie aangenaam en baie skoon. Ons het die huis en die "stable" vir onsself gehad, want ons was ses volwasse persone met 'n baba van drie maande.

Ons was aangenaam verras en het ons oornag verblyf baie geniet. Sal dit vir seker aanbeveel en daarvan gebruik maak indien ons weer in daardie geweste is. Selfs met beurtkrag het ons dit geniet. Baie dankie.

It was very pleasant and very clean. We had the house and the "stable" to ourselves, as we were six adults with a three-month-old baby.

We were pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay. Would definitely recommend and use it if we are in that area again. Even with load shedding we enjoyed it. Thank you very much.

Hi Audrey,

Thank you for your review, I am glad you enjoyed both your stays with us.

Due to the holiday period being incredibly busy with travellers, we have our check-in at 15:00 and check out at 09:00. This is to ensure the all the linen and towels are fresh and the house is properly cleaned for each guest, we do make provision for earlier check-in where and when possible.

Thank you once again.
