Lekker sentraal en maklik bereikbaar geleë in die mooie Porterville.

Gerieflike verblyf en lockup en go kamers vir die bedrywige reisiger wat die omgewing wil verken of in die kontrei werk. Vriendelike, behulpsame personeel.

Centrally located and easily accessible in beautiful Porterville.

Comfortable accommodation and lockup and go rooms for the busy traveler who wants to explore the area or work in the county. Friendly, helpful staff.

Die plek het potensiaal, en het groot ruimte vir verbetering.

Marietjie is 'n baie aangename gasvrou en die kroeg en restaurant area is baie oulik. Maar die beddegoed en beddens was nie op standaard nie en kom verwaarloos voor.

Dis geleë op die hoofstraat en dis baie lawaaierig.

Daar was geen seep, melk of suiker in die kamer nie. Daar was nie ‘n bolaken op die bed nie. Dit was asof niemand die kamer vooraf geïnspekteer het nie. Die plekkie binne is mooi, maar toe ek opdaag hoor ek eers dat dit nog R100 ekstra gaan kos as ek die aircon wil gebruik! Dis nie aanvaarbaar nie. Dis baie deurmekaar buite. Te veel “clutter”.

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".

Oulik. Vriendelike diens.

Die eienares is besonders vriendelik en gaan uit haar pad uit om mens welkom te laat voel. Daar is ook parkering op die terrein agter 'n manual hek, so jou kar hoef nie op straat te staan nie en is uit die oog ('n onverwagte bonus). Kamers beskik oor als wat mens nodig het vir n basiese oornag. Al wat vir my effens afsit is dat alles behalwe die bed en die TV in die badkamer staan (insluitend die kas, yskas, mikrogolf en ketel) a.g.v. beskikbare spasie.

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.

Ek reis baie en is self eienaar van gastehuis, ek is nie vol nonsens nie, maar 'n plek moet skoon wees. Seep, water en stoflap kos nie veel nie. Daar was geen ketel alhoewel koffie en koppies voorsien is. Die ruit in die venster het heeltemal ontbreek. Die spinnerakke is nie eens verwyder nie en dit is nie die vorige dag s'n nie, die spieël is nie eens afgevee nie. Ek is regtig teleurgesteld. Ek sal die waarde van die verblyf nie meer as R500/nag toedeel nie. Sou te skaam wees om R1700 vir mense te vra. Maar nou met mens ook besef dat dit vir Porterville 'n groot naweek is met al die besoekers wat die jaarlikse rugbytoernooi kom bywoon en hul wil soveel moontlik inkomste verdien in die tyd. Net jammer dat jou swak diens die oorsaak gaan wees dat mense nie weer van jou diens gebruik sal maak nie.

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.

Verwaarloos. Vuil gang na kamers. Die 2de kamer wat ons bespreek het het nie eers een lig gehad nie. Moes ons skuif. Vuil asbakkies vol stompies voor ons kamer. Dit het gereën. Daar was nie plek om te eet nie, behalwe in kroeg waar gerook word.

Rustige oornagfasiliteit.

Dit sou gaaf wees om die naam van die gastehuis duideliker/sigbaarder aan te dui. Die ontvangsdame het moeite gedoen om ons te ontvang, 'n kragprobleem (elektriese ketel) op te los en aandete voor te berei.

Verblyf goed. Diens swak.

Ons het die vorige aand ontbyt bespreek vir die volgende oggend. Geen mens in sig die volgende oggend nie. Geen nommer wat jy kan skakel nie. Het geskakel op die nommer van die uitdruk wat ek gehad het met die bespreking. Na die derde oproep gekom en ontbyt maak na 'n lang gewag. Dit is die rede hoekom die ander gastehuise vol was, en Akkediskis leeg. Het met ander mense ook daarna gepraat, wat sê hulle diens is swak.

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.

Swak! Uiters swak!

Geen beligting. Enkele bedlampie het kortsluiting gemaak (onveilig - kaal draad). Mikrogolfoond in toilet-area. Toilet connector lek, ondersteun met botterbakkie waarin water uitloop (onhigiënies). In nag steuring, maak ons bv. wakker want die kragnetwerk in die badkamer nadat krag afgegaan het, ek het gewens dit moet oggend raak. Dit was uiteraard 'n terrible ervaring.

Gasvry, vriendelik en aangenaam.

Die gasvroue was vriendelik en my hartlik ontvang. My selfsorg-kamer was netjies en skoon en alhoewel dit op die hoofpad geleë is, is daar ook kamers aan die sykant. Was verbaas dat ontbyt ingesluit is aangesien die oornagprys reeds so bekostigbaar was. Plekkie het ongelukkig nie hulle nie naam êrens op borde nie maar gelukkig het my GPS my gevat tot my bestemming. Alhoewel voertuie agter slot was, sal 'n skadunet my motor dalk bietjie afgekoel het van die Swartland son. Sal definitief weer daar oorbly. Dankie Marietjie en span.

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.
