The place itself is nice and cosy.

Staff is very helpful and friendly too. I absolutely hated the English breakfast. They never asked how I wanted my eggs. Bacon is the most important part of an English breakfast, but the bacon they gave me was as thin as a piece of thread and as dry as charcoal. One slice of toast with butter almost as thick as the slice itself. One cheap, sour vienna. No fried tomato. No baked beans or any sauce. The juice they gave me came in a dirty jug and I never even touched it. I had nice coffee though.

Acre Of Africa Guesthouse 's response

Our English breakfast is the best because it is made with all items same time within 5 minutes, everything is hot, We buy only Essmore bacon and viennas because they make the best cuts. We don't fry the tomatoes as few guests like that way. We replace the beans with potato chips as everyone likes chips rather. With 3 Coffee choices and mixed juice included for only R75, I think our breakfast is the best value for money anywhere.

Die ontvangs was baie goed en die personeel vriendelik. Hulle het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons te akkommodeer met die tye wat ons die perseel moes verlaat en terugkeer. Niks was vir hulle te veel moeite nie.

Acre Of Africa was nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They just need to clean up the bathroom better and there were a few dirt stains on the walls. Once that is properly cleaned then it would definitely be a place I will stay at again.

Disappointed.

We booked a queen deluxe room with a balcony view according to what we selected when we booked, but we didn't get that room. We got a basic small room with a double bed and a small shower, no bath, the room was near the parking area. The entrance of the room is ugly and weird there is a steel door from the parking area like you entering a shack house, you pass through that door and then into the glass sliding door.

Acre Of Africa Guesthouse 's response

Dear Guest Thank you for your feedback. You booked the queen bedroom according to our records and we do have a 3 of them. From the booking portal you booked unto our booking System it sync automatically with the room you chose. You are more than welcome to speak to us when you would like to change or upgrade a room for future reference.

Goeie Dag Drikus

Baie dankie vir jou terugvoering. Soos aangedui op ons Huisreëls onderaan jou bespreking se dit dat gaste kan die lugversorging teen n ekstra koste gebruik.

Ons het 24 uur personeel aan diens dus gee ons nie remotes vir gaste om in en uit te gaan nie.
Ek vra verskoning indien u nors ontvang is ek sal dit opvat met die personeel wie u die dag ontvang het.

Mooi Groete

Teleurgesteld.

WiFi password wat verskaf word in kamer teenoor gastehuis naam, werk glad nie en toe ons volgende dag daarna vra, toe is die antwoord dat die naam heeltemal iets anders is. Aircon het nie gewerk nie, blykbaar moet gaste R100 ekstra betaal maar dis nooit aan ons gesê nie. Baie beperkte TV-kanale, Openview baie power. Warm water loop amper glad nie, en stort se water loop amper nie uit nie! Terwyl ons nog besig was om te pak toe kom tel hulle die handdoeke ens om te kyk of als daar is, baie swak en sal ek geensins vir enigiemand aanbeveel nie!

Disappointed.

WiFi password that is provided in room opposite guest house name, does not work at all and when we asked about it next day, then the answer was that the name is something completely different. Aircon did not work, apparently guests have to pay R100 extra but we were never told that. Very limited TV channels, Openview very powerful. Hot water hardly runs at all, and shower's water hardly runs out! While we were still packing they came to count the towels etc to check if there were any, very poor and I would not recommend it to anyone!

Acre Of Africa Guesthouse 's response

Dear guest,
We have 5 different WiFi access points, you had to go to your phone settings and choose the strongest option and the password is on the bedstand.
A 3-star isn't supposed to have aircon, but we do.
We increased prices only on guests requiring this more expensive service while the guests who want the old price can still have the old price. Unfortunately, water pressure must be affected if all 18 rooms consume water at the same time but normally our water pressure is high.

Kamer was gerieflik genoeg net om te oornag.

Behoorlike beligting orals, beddens was goed genoeg. Dit sou meer gerieflik gewees het as daar net 'n klein bietjie melk beskikbaar was. Lekkergoed wat beskikbaar was. was mooi vertoon en 'n mens het tuis gevoel. Kamer was baie skoon en baie netjies gewees. Kommunikasie oor hek oopmaak sodra jy in en uit moet beweeg kan aangewerk word sodra jy inklok by ontvangs. Kussings was 'n nagmerrie, dit was heeltemal pap en vreeslik ongemaklik. Dit is waarde vir bedrag wat aangebied word, stil genoeg om 'n goeie nagrus te kan kry. Baie vriendelike personeel.

Room was comfortable enough just to spend the night.

Proper lighting everywhere, beds were good enough. It would have been more convenient if there was only a small amount of milk available. Sweets that were available. was nicely presented and one felt at home. Room was very clean and very tidy. Communication about gate opening as soon as you need to move in and out can be worked on as soon as you check in at reception. Pillows were a nightmare, they were completely mushy and terribly uncomfortable. It is value for money offered, quiet enough to get a good night's rest. Very friendly staff.

Jammer om te hoor.
Klein melkies is nou al 2 maande nie beskikbaar nie daarom gee ons die melkroom pakkies saam met die suiker, koffie en tee pakkies.
Die hek oopmaak is nie 'n probleem nie, want daar is 'n "buzzer" wat ons laat weet dat 'n voertuig voor die hek staan. Dan maak ons van binne af oop. Ingeval niemand sien nie, of voertuig te ver weg staan, is daar 'n interkom links en 'n rooi druk knoppie regs om te druk, maar gewoonlik sien ons self.
Al ons kussing is korrekte eendveer kussings. Ons sal kyk of ons kussing dalk omgeruil is.

Foto’s op webtuiste se app is bedrieglik. Weerspieël nie die werklikheid nie.

Skoon en netjies, maar nie waarde vir jou geld nie. Geen warm water, elektriese proppe werk nie in kamers nie, selfsorgeenheid het nie eers voldoende eetgerei en borde gehad nie, handdoeke in badkamers flenters. Foto’s op app en webtuiste stem nie ooreen met werklikheid nie. Ligging is ook nie na wense nie.

Photos on the website's app are deceptive. Does not reflect reality.

Clean and tidy, but not value for money. No hot water, electric plugs don't work in rooms, self catering unit didn't even have enough cutlery and plates, towels in bathrooms tattered. Photos on app and website do not correspond to reality. Location is also not to be desired.

Although only for one night, it was actually unpleasant.

At first glance, everything looks neat. But the curtains were dusty and the mattress had seen better days. In addition, the one blind in front of a window facing the back garden was too short to close properly. And it's slanted in front of the bathroom door!

Ons het niks kort gekom nie.

Die volgende aanbevelings: nie al die gloeilampe is in werkende toestand nie. Vir mense wat daar is op sake, is die beligting te swak wanneer ons nog in die aand moet sit en werk. Vir dames is die beligting te swak om te grimeer. 2 sakkies melk per persoon is die minimum, nie 3 sakkies melk vir 2 persone nie. Ons was nie van teesakkies (Vyf Rose of Rooibos) bedien nie. Slegs koffie. Daar is 'n rooi knoppie in die kamer met 'n byskrif van R25 sur-charge wanneer jy hulle uit roep. Ons arriveer eers in die aand en dan sien jy die lig werk nie. Dit is nie regverdig om die kliënt te laat betaal vir dienste wat in plek behoort te wees nie. Nou byt die kliënt in ongemak vas om 'n R25 argument vry te spring wanneer jy vertrek. Hierdie is klein dingetjies wat mens se verblyf sal vergemaklik. Ek sal nogtans die akkommodasie aanbeveel.

We didn't come up short.

The following recommendations: not all the bulbs are in working order. For people who are there on business, the lighting is too poor when we still have to sit and work in the evening. For ladies, the lighting is too poor to apply make-up. 2 bags of milk per person is the minimum, not 3 bags of milk for 2 people. We were not served tea bags (Five Rose or Rooibos). Only coffee. There is a red button in the room with a label of R25 sur-charge when you call them out. We only arrive in the evening and then you see the light doesn't work. It is not fair to make the client pay for services that should be in place. Now the customer bites in discomfort to escape a R25 argument when you leave. These are small things that will make one's stay easier. I would still recommend the accommodation.

Het lekker gebly, hier en daar ietsie wat gepla het.

Verblyf was goed, dit is net die beligting wat 'n probleem was, geen lig by spieëlkas en kamer lig baie flou. Stortknop stukkend, water spuit bo oor die stort se rand teen die dak vas en maak die hele badkamer nat.

Goeiedag Caren,

Ek is baie jammer dat die beligting nie goed genoeg was en stortkop nie reg gewerk het nie, soms dink ons gaste dat ons stortkoppe verstelbaar is en draai hulle dit per abuis los, as jy ons net laat weet het sou ons dit vining kon reggestel het vir jou.

Glad nie wat geadverteer was nie! Kon goedkoper by ander gastehuis betaal het om op enkelbedjies te slaap.

By aankoms was gesê dat die regte beddens nie in die kamer is nie, hulle sal dit eers die volgende dag regstel, wat nie so gebeur het nie. Ons het bespreek vir 'n "family bed" en een enkelbed - daar was 3 enkelbeddens. Krag het die eerste aand heeltyd getrip, kon nie die verwarmer gebruik nie. Terwyl jy stort en ander besoekers draai die krane oop, dan is die waterdruk baie min ... sukkel om te stort. Beddens was eers reggestel die derde aand van ons verblyf.

Not at all as advertised! Could have paid less at a different guesthouse to sleep on single beds.

When we arrived we were told that the correct beds were not in the room and that they would only be able to fix it the next day. We booke a "family bed" and one single bed - there were 3 single beds. Power kept going out the first night, couldn't use the heater. If you shower and other guests open the taps the water pressure drops ... struggled to take a prober shower. Bed issue was only fixed the third night.

Hi Angelique, ons is rerug jammer vir die ongerief maar oor die baie Netbal dogters wat ons propvol geboek het, het ons julle gebruiklikke koning bed verander in eerder enkel beddens. Ons kamers is oorspronlik met verwarmers gebou maar ons het toe voor ons eerste oopmaak dag eerder verhitting lugversorgers ingestalleer al jare gelede, daarom het ons al ons verwarmers se kragkabels versteek aangesien dit nie so goed is as lugversorgers nie.
Ons is nie bewus van krag wat getrip het nie maar soms druk 'n gas foutiewe apperaat van hulle eie in, ongelukkig het ons geen beheer daaroor nie en ons kan ook nie rerug gaan klop en vals beskuldig daaroor nie. My ervaring is dat die skuldige gewoonlik na die 2de poging besef dat dit haar toestel is en dan ophou om dit te gebruik. Gelukkig wys dit ons aardlekkasie werk korrek en almal is veilig wat by ons inwoon.
Ons stortkoppe is nie verstelbaar nie en ons ondervind gereeld dat gaste ons stortkoppe los draai maar ons het 'n voltydse onderhoud nutsman aan diens en myself die eienaar woon ook in om sulke probleempies te herstel, jy moes ons net laat weet het.

Convenient and located in a rather quiet area of Boksburg.

Convenient for the early drive out to the event we attended. We got nice breakfast packs there because we had to drive so early every morning. Acre of Africa is located in a rather quiet area of Boksburg.

Staf was vriendelik, kamer was netjies, nie baie beïndruk met ontbyt nie. My bespreking was nie op hulle sisteem nie, ek moes bewys van betaling toon.

Hulle het nie my bespreking gehad nie, of my bewys van betaling toe ek aanmeld nie. Ek het deposito betaal, maar hulle het daarop aangedring dat ek volledige bedrag voor my tweede aand daar betaal. Ek was onder indruk dat die balans saam met ander ekstras - bv. kroegie met vertrek betaal word, maar hulle was adamant. Ontbyt was nie indrukwekkend nie, ek het beter ontbyt vir R400/nag gehad. Kamer was netjies, maar TV was net die gewone SABC 1, 2, 3 en e-Tv en e-TV extra. Lugversorging was werkende toestand, badkamer goed en netjies. Ek het nie 'n invoice van hulle gekry nie, alhoewel ek vergeet het om vir een te vra. Maar mens sou tog dink dis standaard praktyk. Ek sal nie weer teruggaan nie.

Friendly staff, neat rooms, not as impressed with breakfast. My booking was not on their system, I had to show proof of payment.

They didn't have my booking on the system or my proof of payment. I paid the deposit, but they insisted I pay the full amount before my second night there. I was under the impression that the balance can be paid along with the other extras such as the mini bar, when leaving, but they were adamant. Breakfast was not impressive, I've had better for R400 a night. Room was neat but the TV only had SABC and eTV. Aircon worked, bathroom was neat. I didn't get an invoice from them, though I forgot to ask for one. One would think, however, that it's standard practice. Wouldn't go there again.

Beste Pieter,

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer. Ons vra om verskoning vir enige ongerief veroorsaak.

Ons kamers het elk n OVHD dekodeerder in met die ingesluite 18 kanale HDTV beeld met nuwe 32" HD Plat skerm TV's. In die kamer waarin jy tuisgegaan het, Kamer 6, is daar n 40" TV. Ook het ons ons ou netwerkstelsel (nie HD) steeds in wat ook 3 ekstra satelliet kanale bied.

In die 6 jaar van Acre of Africa se bestaan, vra ons die dat gaste die balans betaal met aankoms. Dit is 'n instelling vir sekuriteitsdoeleindes. Met betrekking tot die ontbyt, kry ons vreeslik baie komplimente sedert ons 6 maande terug oorgegaan het na selfhelp (buffet) ontbyt.

As u vir ons u email stuur adres stuur sal ons die faktuur dadelik aanstuur.

Groete,
Acre of Africa-bestuur

Goeie waarde vir geld, en alles wat jy nodig het. Vir beter standaard sal jy meer natuurlik moet betaal.

Ons het lekker gebly, alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Al wat ek kan negatief noem is dat die kamer se yskassie nie gewerk het nie, die koffie en melk wat voorsien was in die kamer was seker al verby hulle verval datum. My vrou het die ontbyt geëet en was nie beïndruk nie, so eerder by ander plek ontbyt wou eet. Dit is klein dinge wat net die verblyf beter so maak waaraan hulle aandag kan gee, maar die res kan ons nie kla nie, soos genoem, vir die prys wat ons betaal het dink ek is dit goeie waarde vir geld en meer as voldoende.

Good value for money, with everything you need. For better quality you'll obviously have to pay more.

We had a good stay, everything we needed. The only negative thing I could mention is that the room's fridge didn't work, the coffee and milk they provide in the room was probably past their sell-by date. My wife had the breakast and wasn't impressed, would rather have liked to eat elsewhere. It is the small things that can improve your stay, and they should pay attention to it. But as for the rest we can't complain, as mentioned, for the price we paid I think it was good value for money and more than sufficient.

Beste Tertius,

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer, ek is jammer oor die ongerief. Ons het juis ons ontbyt aangepas na 'n selfhelp opsie met 'n groter verskeidenheid waarop ons reeds baie positiewe terugvoer ontvang het. Voorheen het ons net 'n Wimpy-tipe ontbyt verskaf en nooit klagtes ontvang nie. Ons sal dit regtig baie waardeer as julle kan laat weet wat nie na wense was nie sodat ons kan verbeter of teruggaan na 'n standaard ontbyt wat by die tafel bedien word.
