Great relaxing weekend with family.
Jacques was a great host. We enjoyed him immensely. The house is beautifully furnished and every piece of furniture has a story. We slept great, everything is clean and tidy. The Vaal River is 1 km from the place of residence, and is beautiful there by the water. Bunch of birds photographed (some of us are bird lovers). I would really recommend the place if you want some rest and don't want to be in town.

Jacques' excellent hospitality and customer service from staff must be commended. Fishing was difficult with the strong flow of the river and the current water level but still very enjoyable. Tip for the anglers: Don't pack your 13ft long rod, short 6-8ft rods with strong line for those big catfish.

Dear Andrew,
Thank you for your opinion.
The entrance road is a two spoor farm road with a rock base so you do not have to worry when it rains that you might be stuck. The road is in a good condition. We had various sports cars and motorbikes visited our Estate. I would advise any normal car like a BMW or Toyota for your visit. Please drive slow as we have some squirrels and small wildlife on the Estate.
We have some nice undercover parking, for 6 cars. the carports are quite deep so if you a group with more than one vehicle, please put 2 vehicles one behind the other so we can fit 12 cars for the 9 rooms. We also have lots of safe non-undercover parking. In short, we have more parking than we need at Mountain View Country Estate.
We are part of a water-saving effort as can be seen on some of the other booking sites. The showers have some special low-pressure shower heads that give more than enough water to get a nice warm comfortable shower.
Our rooms have comfortable mattresses, quality 300 percale linen, various cushions, normally 6 on the bed and 2 in a cupboard, shower, basin, and toilet, Flatscreen TV with Satellite channels, towels, extra blankets, sanitiser, soap-shampoo, roof-fan, small aircon, heater.
Thank you once again for your opinion.
Best regards,
Jacques

Weekend wasted.

Dear Julia
I am so sorry that you feel your weekend was wasted.
We have plenty of pictures showing you the outlay of every room. You can clearly see the bathroom is open-plan.
We also put in writing under Description what the rooms looks like. The rooms are open plan with an en-suite shower, toilet, and basin, and can accommodate wheelchairs.
We put a high priority on cleanliness as I can see you noticed in the review.
The mirror is near the basin and window. This is a convenient position for guests. We are always open to upbuilding suggestions.
Best regards

Disappointing and unenjoyable.
A Mountain View Country Estate 's response
I gave Mark 3 courtesy calls over a period of 3 weeks to find out what was disappointing and unenjoyable. Mark could not answer me and asked me to send him my e-mail address. I send Mark my details but after 4 weeks did not hear back from him.
We need to know what was disappointing and unenjoyable so we can fix it for the future.
It would be helpful if a guest helped us understand what the problems are. What was dirty. Why do the guest feel Customer service was bad. Give us to the point details so we know what went wrong and how we can do it better.
We had a lady cleaning your kitchen, bedroom, and the braai area every day.
Your toilet was blocked due to something you dispose of via the toilet. I had to get someone to unblock the toilet at my expense. This we did with a smile.
Money spent on holidays might be hard-earned indeed, but so is the good reputation of a business built up over many years.

Baie dankie vir jou terugvoer. Ons doen baie moeite om vir ons gaste te wys hoe ons plek lyk. Jy kan duidelik sien op die foto's hoe die plek lyk. Ons maak ook melding van hoe die kamers lyk in woorde. Ek haal aan { Die selfsorggastehuis bied verblyf in 9 pragtige versierde kamers. Die kamers is langs mekaar onder dieselfde dak. Die kamers is nie individuele eenhede nie en dit is oopplan. Elke kamer het 'n en suite-badkamer met stort, wasbak en toilet. }
Met die fotos en geskrewe informasie kan jy jou besluit maak.

Hermien en haar vriendin het in ons twin kamer gebly en was hier vir 'n troue. Hermien is amper 80 en haar vriendin amper 100 jaar jonk. Oud kan hulle nie beskryf nie, want hulle lyk en is in gees merkwaardig jonk. Ek hoop dat ek so vol lewensvreugde sal wees op hulle ouderdom. Om nie van deftig te praat nie.

Very cheap basic overnight accommodation.
The place to stay is very cheap, but for a reason. Lighting in room is very poor and overall the place looks old. Advertisement is misleading and the name of the accommodation does not appear anywhere on the premises. No indication on site about where to sign up. The name of the accommodation also creates more of an expectation. Would not stay there again myself. But as I already mentioned, the price should already warn you.

Ons probeer altyd probleme wat met resensies uitgewys word op te los. Ons kontak die gas om punte wat onduidelik is beter te verstaan. My oproepe en boodskappe is egter nooit deur die gas beantwoord nie.
Die gas was ongelukkig omdat hy nie my gastehuis kon opspoor nie. Ons het vir die gas 'n pin lokasie en aanwysings gestuur. Die gas het met aankoms gesê dat hy nie die aanwysings en pin lokasie gevolg het nie.
Ek is altyd op die eiendom en kon die gas so maklik gehelp het om sterker gloeilampies in die kamer te sit.
Al het ek aanwysings na 'n kantoor gehad, is ek nie altyd daar nie. Gaste hou nie altyd by die tyd nie. Dit kan makliker vir gaste en vir my wees, as die gaste my laat weet hulle is naby. Ek gaan haal die gaste by hul voertuig en neem hulle na hul kamers.
My prys is goedkoop en 'n gesoute reisiger waardeer die drie honderd draadtelling perkale lakens, 6 kussings op bed en nog 2 spaar in die kas om van te kies, snoesige dawn duvets en lekker sagte wit handdoeke, gemaklike matrasse, toilet, stort en wasbak in kamer.

Dankie vir jou mening. Getroude paartjies lag gewoonlik as ek vir hulle sê daar is nog badkamers as hulle privaat wil wees. Ek het jou die badkamers gewys net ingeval 'n badkamer in jou kamer nie vir jou privaat genoeg is nie. Ons almal se behoeftes verskil.
Die spieël is langs die venster en daar is 3 ligte in die kamer wat 3 m by 6 m groot is.
Dankie vir jou resensie.
Groete

Beste Stephane,
Ek het u oor 'n langnaweek gehuisves vir een aand.
Die kamer is 6m by 3m. Julle het 'n super King bed in kamer gehad.
Daar is 70cm spasie tussen voet van bed en muur. Linkerkant van bed 1m 20 cm, en regterkant van bed 2m 50cm.
Die venster is 90.2 cm by 90.2 cm. Die venster maak heeltemal oop van kant tot kant. Selfs met die venster toe was daar geen reuk in die kamer nie. Ek het my bestuurder en 2 ander werkers gevra om te gaan ruik. Hulle het geen snaakse reuk gekry nie. Ek het ook 'n gas gevra om te ruik. Hy het ook geen vreemde reuk gekry nie. Meskien het u die Ambi Pur reukweerder in die toilet geruik.
Die venster was wawyd oop met u aankoms dalk het u die veld geruik.
Beste wense,

Beste Annique,
Die gastehuis is wel privaat vir alle redelike doeleindes. Dit hang van die persoon af wat hulle as privaat beskou. Ons doen baie moeite om seker te maak gaste weet hoe dit hier lyk en wat die opset van die gastehuis is. Daar is baie fotos wat jou wys hoe die plek lyk, asook n duidelike beskrywing van die opset. Die beskrywing plus die fotos gee vir jou n akkurate idee van hoe die plek lyk en hoe privaat dit is. As jy die beskrywing lees en kyk na die fotos voor jy bespreek, sal jy 'n ware, duidelike aanduiding kry van hoe privaat die gastehuis wel is.
Dankie vir jou mening.
Groete,
Jacques

He was so friendly and helpful all the time. The beautiful rooms, house, and grounds are in a perfect condition and everything is clean and neat. Rooms and house were cleaned every day. As far as I could see the regular cleaning staff wasn't there because of the long weekend, but Jacques and his assistant, Lucas, rolled up their sleeves and cleaned the place themselves - feather in their caps. I will definitely visit Mountain View Country Estate again! Thanks again.

A proper signage such as places to stay in the area is important in our opinion. There is poor cell phone reception to call for detour. Not everyone studies the internet beforehand for guidance. Kettle for coffee in the rooms would help. We didn't want to bother other guests early in the morning by using the kitchen. Slept warm in the winter. Got a friendly reception thank you. Hot water a bit of a problem in winter for 2nd person but it helps save water if you have to take a short shower. Will stay there again if we are in that area.

Beste Marlise,
Baie dankie vir jou resensie. Ek antwoord graag op die kwelpunte.
Ek stem 100% saam met jou maar in ons geval as jy 'n naambord het vir 'n gastehuis kan enige persoon hier indraai enige tyd van die nag of dag. Jy het geen beheer daaroor nie. Ons doen dit vir die veiligheid van ons en ons gaste. Ons gaste het GPS aanwysings, geskrewe aanwysings en 'n kaart om ons plek maklik te kry. Ek stel voor dat gaste die aanwysings vooraf bestudeer. Dit maak dinge soveel makliker.
Julle het julle eie kombuis gehad. Ek glo nie mens sal die ander gaste pla as jy koffie maak nie. Dit is dalk n goeie plan om die deur toe te maak om seker te maak mens pla nie. Die mense verniel jou meubels en matte vreeslik as jy ketels in die kamers het. Mors oor die beddens ens.
Daar is 3 x 150 L geysers = 450L warm water vir 10 mense en die geysers was die heeltyd aan. In 'n land soos Suid-Afrika is dit nie 'n goeie idee vir een peroon om 'n hele geyser leeg te stort nie. Spaar water en krag.
Weereens baie dankie,
Jacques

Dear Paulos,
Thank you for your review. We have no problem with music if you are the only group at Mountain View, but at the moment we have other guests that might not appreciate the music which might create a problem. We have a few resorts in the area and you not allowed to play music at most of them. Just a matter of respect for the next person.
Just put yourself in the other people's shoes that wants peace and quiet and I'm sure you will agree with me. No music when you have other guests.

Only problem might be only for business travelers who don't have time to make breakfast and dinner themselves. Because we were absolutely pressed for time to finish a project in Paris, we could not make use of the "self catering" facilities and had to eat in Paris in the mornings and evenings. Overall though, a very nice place to get away from the city noise.

Unfortunately we had to drive back to Johannesburg because of an emergency for hubby at work. We weren't very impressed at first glance though.
If you want to sleep over for one night I would say the place might be ideal. We who did stay there for a weekend found it not ideal. We thought at first when the GPS showed us where the place was that we had put in the wrong coordinates. Well later with Jacques' call I found out that it was the right place. There is no sign indicating that this is the place where one should turn off at. It doesn't have to be a big sign but something that shows you are on the right track. It is also a house that has been converted into a guest house/self-catering accommodation and bathrooms and kitchen are shared. There is not really much privacy because you will have to worry all the time if my food is taken in the fridges or something by the other guests. Although we are in winter and can expect it to be cold, the house was very cold. My husband and I were shivering from the cold. Bathrooms separated by a shower curtain are also not very hygienic, especially in such small rooms. Jacques was very friendly and followed up to hear when we got there. So it was a good thing for us that hubby got called in for work, because wouldn't have enjoyed the stay very much.

Beste Suret
Dankie vir jou mening. My terugvoer op die kwelpunte.
Die bespreking was vir 14 en 15 Julie. U het my gevra om dit te skuif na 7 en 8 Julie. Suret en haar metgesel was die enigste gaste daardie naweek. Julle was die enigste mense in die gastehuis daardie naweek en julle het nie die naweek gebly nie, maar wel net 1 nag.
Daar is 'n Oranje muur so 3 m by 4 m groot waarop staan "Gesondheids Sentrum" in groen. Jy kan dit nie miskyk as jy die aanwysings volg nie. Julle het duidelike aanwysings gehad en ek haal die laaste gedeelte aan: "Turn right at Orange wall with green writing that reads Gesondheids Sentrum. Proceed for +/- 700 m to black electric gate. Follow road around and park under the shade ports".
Die gastehuis het 4 kombuise. Drie klein en 1 groot kombuis. Die kombuise het deure wat kan sluit. Daar is ook 2 koffie-punte met 'n yskas, mikrogolf, toaster, ketel, borde, messe, vurke en al die basiese goed. Gaste deel nooit 'n kombuis met ander mense nie. Indien ek 'n gas nie kan help met 'n kombuis nie, sê ek dit vir die gas voor die gas 'n bespreking maak. Die gas kan dan, as hulle wil, 'n koffie punt gebruik. Julle het julle eie kombuis en badkamer gehad en het met niemand gedeel nie. Weereens noem ek dat julle het julle eie kombuis wat kan sluit. Daar was geen ander gas nie.
Daar is 'n muurverwarmer, 4 dik komberse en 'n ganseveer duvet in julle kamer. Ek kry gou koud, maar dit is meer as voldoende vir my. Die stort het 'n stortgordyn, en die badkamers word elke dag skoongemaak. Die kamers is 6 m by 3 m groot, dit is nie klein nie. Vergelyk dit gerus met ander plekke, veral teen my pryse.
Suret, julle het gery sonder om my te laat weet julle sal nie terug wees nie. Dit skep 'n probleem met sekuriteit en baie ander dinge. Toe ek jou later die aand skakel het jy vir my gesê jy sal my netnou laat weet of julle terugkom. Jy het my nooit die aand laat weet dat julle nie sal terugkom nie.
Weereens dankie vir jou mening.

Ek het u gevra of u 'n kombuis benodig, u het nee gesê. In u kombuis is verskillende glase, daar is ook 'n ketel met koffie, tee en melk. Dit is jammer u het nie meer uitgebrei aangaande wat u onveilig laat voel het nie. Ons probeer altyd verbeter. Ek het wel gemerk dat u alleen was. Die wasbak is voldoende vir skeer, tande borsel en hande was. Indien u wil hare was kan u gerus die stort probeer.
Die gastehuis is ingerig om mense in rolstoele te akkommodeer, daarom is die badkamers oopplan. Daar is wel 'n dik leeragtige gordyn wat kan toetrek, vir privaatheid. Daar is ook 4 ander toilette 10 m van u kamer af wat u kan gebruik, as u dit so verkies.

The place is really not up to standard and will be an embarrassment for Lekkerslaap.
I slept in room number 4. The door does not have a handle with which you can pull and lock it from the outside, you have to pull it with the key and try to lock it. The mattress is stuffed with blankets under the sheets. Faucets at sink are both marked red. The cookie soap at the shower is probably already a year old, they could at least give each guest their own soap (it's much more hygienic). Then to top it all off I got flea bites. I was received very kindly by Jacques, but the place is not up to standard at all. At the reception he told me how the Afrikaners can complain, I am a farmer myself and not pretentious, but the place needs a lot of TLC.

En-suite bathroom as mentioned in the description, the room has a toilet, sink and open shower with curtain that is in the corner of the room, no wall, so it is not en suite but an open-plan bathroom that is, guests in room opposite talking behind a closed door can be heard clearly in our room.

Beste Chris-Marie,
Dankie vir jou mening. Net agtergrond.
Twee persone het 'n kamer vir ongeveer 'n uur gebruik. Ek het die kamer geinspekteer en gevind dat die bed deurmekaar en gebruik was. Die kamer asook die badkamer en toilet was gebruik. Travelground het my laat weet dat die dames nie sal oornag nie. Travelground het my ook gevra of ek die dames se geld sal truggee. Ek het nee gese aangesien die dames nie met my kom praat het nie en die kamer gebruik het.
Met aankoms het ek u die kamer gewys en gevra of u nog kamers wil sien. U het gese die kamer was reg dankie. Ek het u gevra of u 'n koffiepunt benodig. U het gese nee u gaan in die dorp eet ens.
Die kamer wat aan u toegedeel was is oorkant 'n sit area. Daar is geen deure wat van die sit area direk na buite gaan nie. Jy gaan by die voordeur in wat in 'n gang oopmaak. Jy gaan dan in 'n ander gang wat na die sit area gaan. Geen kamer is oorkant die voordeur nie.
U het die middag hier aangekom. u was nie die aand hier nie. Hoe kan u aanneem die deure word nie gesluit nie?
Die vrywaringsvorm is standaard prosedure, as u enigsins reis behoort u dit te weet en sal u dit geensins vreemd vind nie.
Mag 'n plaas nie katte he nie? As ons nie katte het nie sal ons n rotplaag he.
Die katte is buite en nie in die gastehuis nie.
Die stelling word deur u gemaak {volgens die beskrywing en die foto's op die webtuiste is die plek tydens aankoms glad nie volgens verwagting nie, katte wat orals op perseel rondbeweeg, geen koffiepunt, yskas, mikrogolf, ketel wat genoem is kom voor in kamer nie}
Ek het nerens melding gemaak dat daar katte is, of nie is nie. Hier is ook beeste en skape waarvan ek geen melding maak nie. Verder word daar geen melding gemaak dat daar 'n koffiepunt, yskas, mikrogolf, ketel in 'n kamer is nie. Daar is ook geen foto's wat u stelling regverdig nie. Ons het wel 2 koffiepunte en 4 kombuise in die gastehuis.
Die gastehuis is ingerig om mense in rystoele te akkommodeer,daarom is die badkamers oopplan. Daar is wel 'n dik leeragtige gordyn wat kan toetrek vir privaatheid. Daar is ook 4 ander toilette 8 m van u kamer af wat u kan gebruik, as u dit so verkies. Ek het u die toilette gewys met aankoms.
Die gaste wat u gehoor praat het is 2 mense met gehoortoestelle. Hulle was nie oorkant u nie maar wel langs u. Dit was gedurende die middag, die aand was hulle stil.
U se self dat die kamer netjies en skoon was. As u met my gepraat het kon ons die onsmaaklike situasie uitgesorteer het. U het egter die gastehuis verlaat met die voordeur wawyd oop, sonder om my van u kwelpunte te verwittig. Ek was die heeltyd op die perseel. Die gastehuis is geensins onveilig nie. U het geen melding gemaak van ons sekuriteits stelsels nie, maar eerder 'n gevaarlike prentjie geskep. U het die kamer vir ongeveer 1 uur gebruik. Ek kon nie die gebruikte kamer vir 'n volgende gas gee nie.

Dankie vir jou terugvoer. Ek wil jou net op een punt reghelp; ek noem geen visvang geriewe nie. Ek haal aan 'This is fly-fishing territory, with the mighty Vaal coursing through the 54-hectare establishment', geen geriewe word genoem nie. Ek verskaf net toegang tot die Vaalrivier.

Hi Elana
Hier was 12 mans wat golf kom speel het. Soos jy self weet het hulle gebraai en gedrink. Dis waar die suur reuk vandaan kom. Ek kan nie help as die ander gaste suur reuke het nie. Ek kan tog nie vir hulle sê om nie te drink nie. Hulle het hulle gedra.
Wat die vuil badkamers betref. Daar is toilette vir dames en daar is toilette vir mans. Daar is ook 'n gesamentlike toilet vir mans en dames. Die mans was nie in die vrouens se toilette nie wat beteken julle was in die gemeenskaplike toilette. Julle en nog een vrou was die enigste vrouens hier.
Die skoonmakers is vroeg in die oggend hier om skoon te maak. Ek is altyd hier om 'n oog te gooi. Ek het geen vuil badkamers gesien nie. Waarom het jy nie iets vir my gesê wat die heeltyd hier was nie ?
Ek is in die proses om toilette in elke kamer te sit.

Riaan, ek noem op my webblad en ek haal aan: "Please note toilet facilities are shared among all guests". Lees gerus deur 'n gastehuis se webblad voor jy bespreek sodat jy weet wat om te verwag. Daar is ook tenminste 10 resensies wat melding maak oor die toilette.

Sleep well, that's all you can do.
They advertise what they don't offer. Like for example meals - none. Swimming pool - none. There are also too many cats that all look sick and circle around you while you grill. Paint over the name of the "Wellness Centre" and put your name on it - how difficult can it be. That will avoid a lot of confusion. The place is ideal for an overnight stay but definitely not for a whole weekend. They must leave out things they cannot offer.

Beste Charles,
Baie dankie vir die terugvoer. Graag verskaf ek terugvoer op die kwelpunte genoem :
1) "Dit was verskriklik warm en daar was geen swembad of selfs lugversorging in die kamer nie."
Neem asb. kennis dat ons nie n swembad of lugversorging op ons webblad adverteer nie en dus nie verantwoordelik gehou kan word vir so 'n verwagting nie. Ons gebou is egter koel in die dag. Jy kan dit voel die oomblik wat jy instap. Ons het wel dakwaaiers in die kamers.
2) "Dit stort wil uitmekaar val."
Ek het ondersoek ingestel en bevind dat die stort nie uitmekaar val nie, maar in 'n goeie werkende toestand is. Kan u vir my asb. bewyse stuur van u bewering aangesien u dit nie onder my aandag gebring het terwyl u by Mountain View was nie, alhoewel ek op die eiendom was ten alle tye.
3) "Die bedlampies werk nie"
Ek toets altyd die bedlampies voordat gaste inkom en dit het wel gewerk. Ek het lampies weer getoets na u resensie, en dit werk wel. Het u nie dalk met tye van u verblyf u foon gelaai en die bedlampies uitgeprop nie?
4) "Daar is geen toilet in die kamer nie."
Dit staan op webblad dat toilet nie in kamer is nie en ek haal aan : "Dubbelbed en 'n en suite-stort. Die toilette is apart."
5) "Jy deel een met ander mense in die gang."
Jy deel 4 toilette en 'n urinaal met ander mense. Die toilette word wel gereeld gediens. Ons sal net verseker dat die inligting op die advertensie aangepas word om voornemende gaste hiervan in te lig.
6) "Die kombuis se koffiebekers is gesplinter."
Ek het ondersoek gestel in al die kombuise. Nie een beker was gesplinter nie en nie een beker was weg nie. Kan u vir my asb. verdere inligting hieromtrent verskaf aangesien u my nie genader het met tye van u verblyf nie?
7) "dan is daar ook nie behoorlike ketels in een van die drie kombuise nie."
Daar is 2 nuwe en een ouer ketel in die 3 kombuise. Almal is in 'n werkende toestand. Ek verstaan nie wat u bedoel met "behoorlik" nie. Ons het egter 4 kombuise en een koffiepunt, waarvan al die ketels werk.
8) "Daar is geen yskas wat werk om jou koeldranke koud te hou nie."
Daar is 6 yskaste waarvan almal in 'n werkende toestand is. Ek het hulle ook persoonlik getoets. Verdere inligting rakende u stelling sal baie waardeer word.
9) "Dit wat op die internet gewys word en dit wat jy sien as jy daar aankom verskil hemelsbreed van mekaar."
Ek gun u die geleentheid om enige inligting of foto's wat op die advertensie verskyn maar nie ooreenstem met die werklike geriewe nie, uit te wys in 'n e-pos vir verdere bespreking.
Aangesien kommentaar op die publieke domein my bron van inkomste kan beinvloed, versoek ek om met my in verbinding te tree aangaande die kommentaar gelewer. Ek het u probeer kontak om die bewerings beter te verstaan, maar kon u nie op u foon bereik nie. Ek sal dit baie waardeer as ons die bogenoemde kwelpunte verder kan bespreek om sodanige verbeteringe aan te bring indien nodig.
Ek sien uit na u spoedige terugvoer.
Beste wense,
Jacques

We will not use Mountain View Country Estate again. The rooms appear much smaller than in the photos. There is a lot of old, antique furniture throughout the house which gives it a very heavy, dark feel. I think if you just want to sleep over and drive the next morning it's ideal, but the fares can then be reduced. The joint TV room is not of such a nature that one can sit and visit and the owner's office is right behind the TV. The office is closed with burglar bars to separate it from the house but it's an eyesore. In the short time we were there I noticed a few things that needed attention, e.g. cracks in the wall. We feel we would rather have paid more than closer to town.

Beste Heleen,
Baie dankie vir die terugvoer.
Die kamer waarin julle geslaap het is 6m x 3m. Miskien het die super king-size bed, antieke laaikas, gemakstoel, 3-deur hangkas en bedkassies weerskante van die bed die kamer kleiner laat lyk. As jy voor die bed staan is daar 1.1m plek regs van die bed tot by die 3-deur kas. Daar is 2.5m plek links van die bed tot teen die muur.
Daar is wel groter kamers beskikbaar aan gaste wat 'n groter kamer verkies. Let wel dat die kamers toegerus is met duursame antieke meubels, alhoewel ek verstaan dat sommige gaste van antieke meubels hou en ander nie. Die antieke meubels is wel sigbaar aan gaste wat deur die foto's op die advertensie gaan.
Die tariewe is baie goedkoop vir dit wat gebied word.
Met betrekking tot TV kamer voel ons dat te veel stoele in die TV kamer nie mooi sal lyk nie, maar as meer mense wil TV kyk, kan meer stoele ingesit word na die tyd weggeneem word. Ek hou ook nie van die diefwering nie maar dit is ongelukkig prakties in vandag se tyd.
Enige verdere terugvoer, veral met betrekking tot die krake en ander kwelpunte, kan direk aan ons gestuur word vir verdere assessering.
Groete,
Jacques

Die gastehuis is juis wonderlik vir groepe. Dink daaraan 9 kamers onder een dak. Mense kan kuier al reen dit. Twee groot sitkamers en 2 x groot eetkamers plus a kombuis met a 10 sitplek tafel sal n groot groep baie geniet. Met 4 x 150L geysers vir 9 kamers is warm water nie n probleem nie. Die pype is wel lank en jy moet so 30 sekondes wag voor die eerste warm water by jou kraan uitkom. Ons probeer om nie eetes te gee gedurende die Covid probleem nie. Ons het wel self-sorg kombuise vir gaste.

Beste Charles,
Baie dankie vir die terugvoer. Hier is oneindig baie om te doen in die area. Jy kan kunsvlieghengel of visvang by die rivier doen of net daar sit en luister na die visarende. Gaste geniet gewoonlik ook 'n braai by die gastehuis. Hier is 'n paar leeuplase, 'n bessieplaas en 'n Cheetah-plaas in die omgewing. Dan is daar ook river rafting, abseiling, quad biking, skydiving, hot air ballooning, en perdry. Parys het ook baie om te aan te bied - van 4-ster restaurante tot die pragtige kuns- en antieke winkels en vele meer. Gaste kan natuurlik ook in hul kamer sit en boeklees of gesels, indien so verkies. Ons sal ons voorstel om met jul volgende besoek aan Parys van die bogenoemde aktiwiteite op proef te stel.

Jy het jou eie kombuis met alles in. Dit is verseker self-sorg. Alle kamers het nou toilette. Geen lugversorging worg geadverteer nie. Ons het wel dakwaaiers. Daar was wel n hittegloed gedurende U verblyf. Die kamer het n probleem gehad en die area is oorgeteel.

A beautiful setting. A good place if you're just looking for a bed to sleep on.
Nice rooms that could be more guest friendly with a few tweaks, especially since it's 9km out of town.

Comfortable. Hot water. Beds sleep well.
There was a shower in the room, but toilets and bathing facilities were to one side and away from the room. There was hot water. The beds and bedding are very comfortable, and the place is very clean. The space is lovely. There is DStv in the lounge/dining room. It was very cheap compared to other places in the area. If you don't expect luxury, accommodations may work well for you. For the price it is good.
