Baie goed.

In Melville is dit die asemrowendste plek: Ou styl huis, Melville-koppie se rus en die trap na 7 de straat ... Ons ken Jannie as digter, sanger in Holland. Ons het met taxi gery na Rosebank vir groen en rooi toerbus in die suburbs en stad. Ons het afgestap op Constitutional Hill (kan dit aanbeveel), so ook Wits-museum. Baie dankie vir Jannie en personeel.

Very good.

In Melville it is the most breathtaking place: Old style house, Melville cup's rest and the stairs to 7 th street... We know Jannie as a poet, singer in Holland. We took a taxi to Rosebank for a green and red tour bus in the suburbs and city. We walked down Constitutional Hill (can recommend it) as well as Wits museum. Many thanks to Jannie and staff.

Dag sê Ed, Ons is baie trots op ons ligging - die uitsig oor die Melville koppies natuurreservaat, tog 'n gerieflike loopafstand met die stegie na die restaurante.
Ons is baie bly dat julle julle besoek aan Johannesburg geniet het en lekker gekuier het.
Hoop julle kan binnekort weer reis.

Ongelooflik gasvry. Voel soos 'n stukkie plaas in die middel van Melville!

Ons sal nooit weer op 'n ander plek oornag wanneer ons die stad besoek nie!

Dit was die netjiesste plek en die ontbyt was van hoogstaande gehalte (heerlike tuisgebakte brood). Dit het werklik gevoel of ons in ons eie kombuis kuier! Wel gedaan aan al die personeel en eienaars!

Rondreis Zuid Afrika!

Een prachtige accommodatie in rustige wijk, oase in de stad. Kamers wellicht iets gedateerd, maar schoon en netjes. Een heerlijk ontbijt en vooral een bijzonder hartelijke gastvrijheid en persoonlijke belangstelling van de gastheer en gastvrouw. Op verzoek werd zelfs een prima vegetarische bobotie geserveerd. De beste start voor een reis in ZA!

A beautiful accommodation in a quiet neighborhood, an oasis in the city. Rooms perhaps a bit dated, but clean and tidy. A delicious breakfast and especially a particularly warm hospitality and personal interest from the host and hostess. On request, a prime vegetarian bobotie is even served. The best start before a trip in ZA!

Uitstekend op elke gebied!

Dit was werklik 'n plesier om by die Agterplaas tyd te spandeer. Elke persoon met wie ons te doen gekry het, was vriendelik en behulpsaam. Hulle het werklik moeite gedoen om ons op ons gemak te laat voel. Die ontbyt is ongelooflik lekker en die kinders stem saam hulle wil gou weer terugkeer na die Agterplaas!

It was truly a pleasure to spend time at the Backyard. Every person we dealt with was friendly and helpful. They really made an effort to make us feel at ease. The breakfast is incredibly tasty and the children agree that they want to return to the Backyard soon!

Die gastehuis het my tydjie in Johannesburg rustig gemaak.

Dit was 'n besonder gerussstellende ervaring om by Die Agterplaas te oornag. Hul reëlings vooraf was seepglad - en met die wondere van hedendaagse tegnologie was die verkryging van inligting, die bespreking, die betaling en ander besonderhede baie maklik. Die feit dat 'n bestuurder my op die lughawe ingewag en direk na die gastehuis vervoer het, het daartoe bygedra dat ek dadelik kon begin ontspan. Die kamer was mooi en goed ingerig. Die volgende oggend het begin met 'n heerlike ontbyt, vriendelik en keurig bedien. Hulle het my ook gehelp om 'n tuk-tuk te kry om by my bestemming vir die dag te kom. Dis nie 'n avontuur wat ek enigiemand sal aanbeveel nie, maar die feit dat die gastehuis bereid was om my by te staan met daardie reëlings het ook my lewe makliker gemaak. Ek sal hulle graag weer wil gebruik, en hopelik vir langer as een nag! Die atmosfeer is besonders en kalmerend.

The guest house made my time in Johannesburg peaceful.

It was a particularly reassuring experience to spend the night at Die Agterplaas. Their advance arrangements were smooth - and with the wonders of today's technology, obtaining information, booking, paying and other details was very easy. The fact that a driver met me at the airport and transported me directly to the guest house contributed to the fact that I could immediately begin to relax. The room was nice and well appointed. The next morning started with a delicious breakfast, friendly and well served. They also helped me get a tuk-tuk to get to my destination for the day. It's not an adventure I would recommend to anyone, but the fact that the guest house was willing to assist me with those arrangements also made my life easier. I would love to use them again, and hopefully for more than one night! The atmosphere is special and calming.

Ek beveel Agterplaas B&B aan vir 'n heerlike atmosfeer van huislikheid.

'n Huislike en vriendelike atmosfeer. 'n Heerlike aandete en ontbyt met persoonlike diens. Niks was vir hulle te veel om my verblyf aangenaam te maak nie.

Very friendly and helpful staff. An absolute pleasure to stay at Agterplaas!

It was an absolute joy to stay at Agterplaas. The people are very friendly and helpful and the food is excellent. Everybody went out of there way to act on any requests. Staff even went the extra mile when we lost documentation and helped us look for it after we had already departed. Can highly recommend them to anyone!
