The stay was awesome, however the sheets and cushions had stains on them, and there was no microwave in the room.

Worst in years.

They should change the mattress to start with, be honest about water problems (no hot water to shower), be honest about breakfast (breakfast you can get better at any takeaway shop anywhere in Potch), arrogant chef.

Skoon en netjies, pragtige "Skydeck".

Straat baie raserig deur die nag, karre wat jaag. Ons het gevra die eerste aand oor ontbyt die volgende oggend en is tye en plek meegedeel, maar nie dat ons moes bespreek nie. Is wel gehelp met cornflakes en sappie (gratis). Het wel vir tweede oggend ontbyt bespreek en betaal, maar kombuis was steeds toe al was dit vorige dag bevestig. Is wel gekontak na vertrek om verskoning te bied, wag vir terugbetaling van ontbyt. Oulike plek, Skydeck se uitsig en kos was pragtig en heerlik!

Clean and tidy, beautiful Skydeck.

Street very noisy at night, cars rushing by. We asked the first night about breakfast the following morning and were told times and place but not that we had to book. Was helped with some cornflakes and juice (free). Did book and pay for breakfast for the second morning, but the kitchen was still closed even though it was confirmed the day before that it would be open. Was contacted after departure to apologize, waiting for refund of breakfast. Cute place, Skydeck's view and food were beautiful and delicious!

Kamer was gerieflik, skoon alles was daar tot jou beskikking.

Die ontbyt was baie lekker, slegs parkering moet ons na kyk bv. parkering reserve vir Acorn Lodge se gaste met die SKYDECK persone wat kom en gaan is daar altyd nie genoeg parkering vir gaste wat oornag etc nie.

It's a lodge. For the price one pays, we expect same hospitality. Don't expect more.

Expect noise from traffic and another establishment. Guests partying the whole night. One previous review requested large mirror in rooms, until today there is no improvement. Toilet leaks, shame.

Aangenaam en gemaklike verblyf.

Verblyf was ruim, netjies en skoon. Gemaklike kamer om in te oornag. Sou net beter TV-ontvangs wou hê met 'n bietjie groter verskeidenheid kanale om van te kies. Badkamer was skoon en netjies. Het in die gesinskamer gebly wat voorsiening maak vir 4 persone, maar die warm water vir stort en bad was te min vir 4 persone.

Pleasant and comfortable stay.

Accommodation was spacious, neat and clean. Comfortable room for overnight stay. Just wanted better TV reception with a slightly wider selection of channels to choose from. Bathroom was clean and tidy. Stayed in the family room which accommodates 4 people, but the hot water for shower and bath was not enough for 4 people.

Ons was by Aardklop en het basies net oornagverblyf gesoek.

Dit is goeie waarde vir geld, veral as mens bv. besoek en net 'n rustige, skoon slaapplek wil hê. Ons het lekker geslaap en sal weer tydens so 'n geleentheid daar oorslaap.

Acorn Lodge and Skydeck 's response

Good day Lourens,

Thank you very much for your review, it is greatly appreciated.

We would like to apologise for the water that was not hot enough during your stay. We did, however, run maintenance on all geysers soon after you left to ensure that the next guest, or you in future, does not experience the same kind of experience you've had during your stay. We promise you that the same problem will not happen again unless under unforeseen circumstances.

It was an absolute pleasure having you at our establishment and look forward to hosting you again in the near future.

Have a great day ahead.

Regards,
The Acorn Lodge Team

Ek was baie teleurgesteld.

Daar was nie eers 'n koekie handeseep nie. Die toilet was half geblok. Kom al van 2010 Potch toe elke jaar en vir net vir paar rand meer by De Molen Gastehuis was daar baie meer geriewe. Daar was een kussing op elke bed, geen handeseep. Net 2 sakkies koffie, by ander plekke is geriewe beter vir my.

There wasn't even a bar of soap. The toilet was half blocked. Have been coming to Potch since 2010 every year and for just a few Rand more at De Molen Guesthouse there were many more amenities. There was one pillow on each bed, no hand soap. Only 2 coffee bags, amenities are better for me at other places.

Good day Marlene,

Thank you for your review.

We offer a variety of room types ranging from Standard Rooms to Comfort Rooms. The rooms differ per amenities you get in each type of room. You were booked in a Standard Double Room which does not come with soap and shampoo. These amenities are supplied in the Comfort Room type.

We humbly apologise if your experience was not worth the value of your money, we shall indeed improve for the better in the future.

Your time in writing this review is appreciated and will continue to improve where you advised us.

Good day Sam,

Thank you very much for your review.

We have strict rules for all guests to respect other guests within our establishment. We profusely apologise for the noise that was caused by the other guests during the weekend you were booked in. It was a busy weekend with Aardklop taking place. We will work on improving the level of noise during such events where we may be fully booked.

We have noticed that you have given us a 2-star grading for the cleanliness of the room. This is very concerning as we pride ourselves on the highest level of cleanliness at all times. Is there perhaps something we need to change that we may have done wrong? Your input helps us improve for the better so that in the future, you will have utmost best experience with us.

Thank you again for your time giving us a review.
