It was neat and tidy. The keeper made sure that our needs were attended to. Overall great overnight stay.

The Wi-Fi wasn't working in our room and they moved us to a bigger space which we loved. The guy at reception was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the in-house breakfast option.

Kamer lyk nie soos foto's nie. Geen teëls op vloere en badkamermuur nie. Verf dop af. Vensters vuil. Houtvensterrame verrot. Mini yskas staan op vloer, te laag. Geen mikrogolfoond soos op advertensie nie.

Algehele verval. Sal nooit weer daar oorslaap nie. Advertensiefoto's misleidend. Ook geen elektriese kombers nie. Geen melk en koffie nie.

Room does not look like photos. No tiles on floors and bathroom wall. Paint shell off. Windows dirty. Wooden window frames rotted. Mini fridge is on the floor, too low. No microwave as advertised.

Overall decay. Will never stay there again. Advertising photos misleading. No electric blanket either. No milk and coffee.

Pleasant reception, help.

Was unhappy about no parking inquiries being made when booking, the fact that there was no water. They went out of their way to make it easier for us but it is a big problem. Make sure of that. Otherwise we had a very nice stay and we were further satisfied with their service and hospitality. Thank you.

Gemengde gevoelens.

Ons het lekker gebly behalwe vir 'n paar goed wat ons gepla het. 1. Wanneer iemand vir my sê om iets by 'n Gastehuis te betaal en beveel kontant aan, is ek dadelik skepties. Na ons ontbyt, wou ek met my kaart betaal nadat die kaartmasjien op hul tafel in 'n werkende toestand gelê het, het die personeel het aangedring op kontant. 2. Ons het vooraf gereël vir vervoer na Ellispark en sou ons R450 gekos het. Op die ou einde moes ons R1100 betaal, omrede verskeie verskonings. Ek is ook nie onder 'n hoender uitgebroei nie. 3. Braaifasiliteite behoort aan sekere standaarde te voldoen. 'n Weber wat in die hoek van die courtyard staan, met 'n vuil rooster op, is nie juis my tipe gunsteling braaigeriewe nie. Ek is toe Cheers toe om 'n toeknyprooster te gaan koop en moes toe uitvind dat daar nie juis sitplek is by die braaiplek nie. Ek is toe met my vleis terug huistoe. Ligging ens. was nie sleg nie, en overall was ons verblyf nie sleg nie.

Mixed feelings.

We had a nice stay except for a few things that bothered us. 1. When someone tells me to pay something at a Guest House and recommends cash, I am immediately skeptical. After our breakfast, I wanted to pay with my card after the card machine was lying on their table in working condition, the staff insisted on cash. 2. We pre-arranged for transport to Ellispark and it would have cost us R450. In the end we had to pay R1100, due to various excuses. I wasn't hatched under a chicken either. 3. Barbecue facilities should meet certain standards. A Weber standing in the corner of the courtyard, with a dirty grill on it, is not exactly my type of favorite braai facilities. I then went to Cheers to buy a toaster oven and then had to find out that there wasn't much seating at the barbecue area. I then returned home with my meat. Location etc. was not bad, and overall our stay was not bad.

Rooms are neat but we experienced lots of noise during our stay.

The rooms was nice and neat. We were just disappointed in all the noise at the guest house. I understand maintenance needs to be done, but maybe next time schedule it while you dont have guests. There were chain-saws cutting for hours outside our window and people walking on the rooms roof making lost of noise. A car parked in front of the guest house alarm went off all night. We also only received our clean towels @ 9pm. Other then the noise, the place was neat and tidy.

Not what I expected.

I was disappointed as this was not quite what I was expecting. Staff were friendly. I rate a place by whether I would stay there again and that would be no.

Goed geleë met baie sjarme.

Die gastehuis is pragtig versier met oud en nuut. Dit is in die hart van Mellville met fantastiese restaurante soos Love Me So net 'n kort stappie weg. In die aande is Mootee bar 'n belewenis, maar daar is nog veel meer om van te kies. 27 Boxes is 'n moet-sien met al die mooi winkeltjies en die tuin agter die gebou. Ons ontbyt was uitstekend (full breakfast) en ons het veilige parkering gehad vir die kar.

Well located with lots of charm.

The guest house is beautifully decorated with old and new. It is in the heart of Mellville with fantastic restaurants like Love Me So just a short walk away. In the evenings, Mootee bar is an experience, but there is much more to choose from. 27 Boxes is a must-see with all the nice shops and the garden behind the building. Our breakfast was excellent (full breakfast) and we had safe parking for the car.

Ongelooflik vuil en gebreek.

Ek was baie teleurgesteld, aangesien ek al in die verlede hier gebly het. Die kamer was ongelooflik vuil, ek kon nie van die bed na die badkamer met my kaalvoete loop, sonder om my voete daarna te was nie. Die handdoeke en bedlinne was geskeur en het gate ingehad. Die ligte het nie gewerk nie en oral was daar klein goedjies wat stukkend was. Daar was 'n algehele "ons gee nie meer om nie" gevoel. Ek het vir die opsigter gewys hoe vuil dit was, ek het vanaf die bed na die badkamer geloop, en toe my voete met 'n handdoek afgevee, die handdoek was swart en vol aaklikge vuil wolle. Dit is regtig onaanvaarbaar, veral vir die prys wat ek betaal om seker te maak en kry netheid en omgee.

Incredibly dirty and broken.

I was very disappointed as I have stayed here in the past. The room was incredibly dirty, I couldn't walk from the bed to the bathroom with my bare feet, without washing my feet afterwards. The towels and bed linen were torn and had holes in them. The lights didn't work and there were little broken things everywhere. There was an overall "we don't care anymore" feeling. I showed the caretaker how dirty it was, I walked from the bed to the bathroom, and then wiped my feet with a towel, the towel was black and full of horrible dirty wool. This is really unacceptable, especially for the price I pay to make sure and get cleanliness and care.

Ongelooflik vriendelik, behulpsaam en 'n wonderlike ondervinding.

Ek reis baie vir werk en bly weekliks by verskeie gastehuise, 84 on 4th is een van die bestes waarby ek in jare gebly het. Die hulpvaardigheid van die personeel het my verstom, die kamers is ruim, gesellig, skoon en gemaklik. Die badkamer was 'n plesier. Dankie vir so 'n ondervinding na 'n harde, moeilike dag!

The helpfulness of the staff surprised me, the rooms are spacious, cozy, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was a pleasure. Thank you for such an experience after a hard, hard day!

Heerlike verblyf met uiters vriendelike diens.

Die verblyf by hierdie instansie was heerlik en die diens was uiters vriendelik. Die plekkie is baie goed geleë en was naby aan alles! Ons dogtertjie van 2,5 was saam en sy is ook so ver as moontlik geakkommodeer. Sal beslis weer daar oorbly!

The stay at this establishment was wonderful and the service was extremely friendly. The place is very well located and was close to everything! Our 2.5 year old daughter was with us and she was also accommodated as far as possible. Would definitely stay there again!

Lieflik en sentraal geleë, kan stap na enige van Melville se restaurante/kuierplekke.

Skoon en netjiese kamer met goeie linne en 'n lekker stort. Die veermatras kan dalk 'n plank onder kry sodat dit nie induik nie. Twee bedliggies is noodsaaklik en die spieëls is bietjie laag vir langerige (1,74 m) persone. Ontbyt was baie goed. Tandem-parkering binne die perseel is nie ideaal nie. Andersins was dit aangenaam.

Lovely and centrally located, can walk to any of Melville's restaurants/hangouts.

Clean and tidy room with good linen and a nice shower. The spring mattress might get a board underneath so it doesn't sag. Two bedside lights are essential and the mirrors are a bit low for tall (1.74 m) persons. Breakfast was very good. Tandem parking within the premises is not ideal. Otherwise it was pleasant.
