Vriendelik en gasvry.

Die dorp was sonder water by ons aankoms. Trina het egter gesorg vir genoeg gebottelde water om ons deur die krisis te help. Dit was dus 'n heerlike, rustige uitspanning gewees.

Friendly and hospitable.

The town was without water when we arrived. However, Trina provided enough bottled water to see us through the crisis. So it had been a lovely, peaceful relaxation.

Net 'n vreugde! Ons sal beslis weer hier oorslaap.

Absolute Leisure Cottages se vriendelike en professionele personeel het ons veilig verwelkom in die Covid-tyd. Alles was silwerskoon en netjies. Gerieflike verblyf wat ons volgende keer langer as net een nag sal wil geniet.

Just a joy! We will definitely stay here again.

Absolute Leisure Cottages' friendly and professional staff welcomed us safely in the Covid era. Everything was spotless and tidy. Comfortable accommodation that we will want to enjoy for more than just one night next time.

Netjies, skoon en rustig.

Die enigste aanbeveling wat ek kan maak is om die sitkamerstel te vervang met gemakliker stel.

Neat, clean and quiet.

The only recommendation I can make is to replace the living room set with a more comfortable set.

Goeie kliëntediens.

My man was bederf vir sy 50ste verjaarsdag deur die eienaar en bestuur. Baie dankie. Die enigste wat my opgeval het is dat die paaie in 'n swak toestand is. Lyk of geen onderhoud gedoen word nie.

Good customer service.

My husband was spoiled for his 50th birthday by the owner and management. Thank you very much. The only thing that struck me is that the roads are in poor condition. Looks like no maintenance is done.

Thank you for the lovely review Annetjie. We do our best to surprise our birthday guests with a locally made cake!. So sorry about the roads in the village. Currently there is a road development taking place on the N4 and we have been promised that the contractors will fix the village roads while they are with us. I really appreciate guests making mention of the poor condition of the village roads, as we also pass this information to our government sector. They need to see that by neglecting the maintenance of the roads they are directly failing our community by discouraging tourists. We hope that next time you come, our roads will be fixed and well maintained. Kind regards to you both.

Outydse sjarme, luukse gemak.

As 'n geskiedkundige liefhebber, was die pragtige oudhede en antieke meubels wat die kamers versier in hierdie Victoriaanse huis, 'n spesiale treat. Verder het dit alles wat benodig word om 'n vinnige sakereis te vul met die "comforts of home".

Friendly reception and staff.

R36 in very bad state, should rather note on website to use R38. Advertisement was misleading: cottages very close together, you can actually hear neighbour on his phone. Had trouble finding the entrance, a lot of people at gate with a dozen empty beer quarts on table. That was upsetting and disconcerting. The staff however was very friendly and welcoming - that is Samson and cleaning ladies. Cottage clean and tidy. Not as private as we would have liked but overall nice stay. Town falling apart and roads almost non-existent.

Absolute Leisure Cottages 's response

Thank you for your feedback, Corne.

Guest comments are always really helpful to understand better how our visitors feel and to help us improve our service so all comments are always much appreciated.

Please request information on the best route to travel we readily warn our guests about the road from Lydenburg which is in terrible condition. I contacted manager Samson regarding the beer bottles and people around when you arrived. He told me that you arrived at 10 am, way before the booking in time of 2 pm. The people you saw were 4 of the staff children aged between 5 and 9 years old who were playing together on the property. We have a policy of having our resident employees' children stay during school holidays, so they can have some quality time with their parents. I feel this is important for the future of our country.
The beer bottles were being cleared from another guest's cottage, and because you arrived at early, housekeeping was still busy with their work.

I am sorry that the privacy you felt was not entirely what you had imagined. I think a cottage out on one of the farms might be a better choice for you another time, rather than choosing a rural village environment. We are so glad that you found our service and cleanliness up to scratch, as these are the things we are able to control. I shall pass on your lovely compliment about the staff to them, they are always thrilled to hear such positive feedback as they do work hard to keep standards up. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and everything of the best for 2018. Please if you are coming to our area again, even if to stay at another place, contact me and I will advise on the best roads to take.

Kind regards
Trina

Was daar vir 'n troue.

Was by 'n troue, slegs oorgeslaap en weer vroeg gery. Ontbyt sal dalk 'n goeie idee wees omrede ons weer terug Benoni toe moes ry en langs die pad ontbyt geëet het.

Was there for a wedding.

Was at a wedding, only slept there and left early again. Breakfast might be a good idea because we had to drive back to Benoni and thus had to stop on the way to eat breakfast.

So sorry to hear you didn't have breakfast till you got home. We do offer breakfast for those who wish. It can be ordered latest on arrival. I will make a note to mention it to future guests. Alternatives are Milly's, Alzu, Shell and Total road stops between Machado and Benoni. Thanks for you positive ratings.
