The place has potential, and has great room for improvement.
Marietjie is a very pleasant hostess and the bar and restaurant area is very cute. But the bedding and beds were not up to standard and appeared neglected.

Dis geleë op die hoofstraat en dis baie lawaaierig.

Translate to English.
It's located on the main street and it's very noisy.
There was no soap, milk or sugar in the room. There was no top sheet on the bed. It was as if no one had inspected the room beforehand. The place inside is nice, but when I arrived I first heard that it would cost R100 extra if I wanted to use the aircon! It's not acceptable. It's very messy outside. Too much "clutter".

Cute. Friendly service.
The owner is particularly friendly and goes out of her way to make you feel welcome. There is also on-site parking behind a manual gate, so your car doesn't have to be on the street and is out of sight (an unexpected bonus). Rooms have everything you need for a basic overnight stay. The only thing that slightly puts me off is that everything except the bed and the TV is in the bathroom (including the cupboard, fridge, microwave and kettle) because available space.

Although the room was very neat and clean, reception was very friendly, the circumstances were not ideal, and strange.
Our room had no windows, just a door opening onto a shared area with a bar. The music continued until well after 12 while we had to be behind a closed door. Under no circumstances would one feel safe sleeping with an open door, not with a bunch of people hanging out at a bar outside your door, and the area is open and accessible from the outside. Air conditioner costs extra, which is not acceptable considering the fact that there are no windows. If the prize had perhaps included a nice breakfast, perhaps one could remember the unusual circumstances as an interesting experience.

Vir die prys wat mens betaal (R1700 per nag!) is dit regtig teleurstellend.

For the price you pay (R1700 per night!) it is really disappointing.
I travel a lot and am a guesthouse owner myself, I'm not full of nonsense, but a place needs to be clean. Soap, water and cloth do not cost much. There was no kettle although coffee and cups were provided. The pane in the window was completely missing. The cobwebs weren't even removed and it wasn't from the day before, the mirror wasn't even wiped down. I am really disappointed. I will allocate the value of the accommodation no more than R500/night. Would be too embarrassed to ask people R1700. But now one also realizes that it is a big weekend for Porterville with all the visitors who come to attend the annual rugby tournament and they want to earn as much income as possible in the time. Just a pity that your poor service will be the reason that people will not use your service again.

Dirty and neglected.
Neglected. Dirty hall to rooms. The second room we booked did not even have a light. They had to move us. Dirty ashtrays full of stumps in front of our room. It was raining. There was no place to eat except in a bar where people smoke.

It would be nice to indicate the name of the guest house more clearly/visible. The receptionist made an effort to receive us, solve a power problem (electric kettle) and prepare dinner.

Accommodation was good but the service bad.
We booked our breakfast in the evening for the next morning, but there was nobody to be seen the next morning, no number to dial. I ended up dialling the number on my booking printout. Only after the third call did somebody come and make breakfast after a long wait. This was the reason why the other places were full and Akkediskis empty. I talked to some other people afterwards who agreed that their service is poor.

Weak! Extremely weak!
No lighting. Single bedside lamp shorted out (unsafe - bare wire). Microwave oven in toilet area. Toilet connector leaks, supported with butter dish in which water runs out (unhygienic). In night disturbance, we make e.g. awake because the power grid in the bathroom after power went out, I wished it would be morning. It was obviously a terrible experience.

We were welcomed with a personal name board in front of our room before the friendly Marietjie came to greet us personally! The unit was fresh, clean and quite large and on the quiet side of the main road. Everything we needed was at hand and the breakfast was quite good. One will definitely return.

Hospitable, friendly and pleasant.
The hostesses were friendly and received me warmly. My self-catering room was neat and clean and although it is located on the main road, there are also rooms on the side. Was surprised that breakfast was included as the overnight price was already so affordable. Plekkie unfortunately doesn't have their name on signs anywhere but luckily my GPS took me to my destination. Although vehicles were locked, a shade net might have cooled my car a bit from the Swartland sun. Will definitely stay there again. Thank you Marietjie and team.

Disappointing.
Place facing main street which is noisy. The restaurant is more of a bar and there were people visiting until very late in the evening. The toilet was broken and there was no heater or electric blanket. Breakfast is included in the rate but is only available from 09:00 on the Saturday morning. Next to the bed is a small Bible and two condoms in the same container, which is a very, very bizarre combination.
