Disgusting, unpleasant, and filthy. Having to deal with roaches for R850 a day is unacceptable.

Very unpleasant. The place is dirty and smelly, full of roaches. I sent a video to you. You can lock the place with a padlock on the outside when leaving, but you can't lock it when you're inside the accommodation. The accommodation was totally overpriced; it is not worth R200 a day. I have already sent my complaints to Meagan, along with a video showing what the place looks like – nothing like the photos. Price-wise, it was an absolute rip-off.

Gemaklik en gerieflik.

Pragtige uitsig oor Sandvlei hoog teen die berg.

Very friendly service with every appliance you would need in a cottage.

Will not find any better accommodation for that price. Only disadvantage: very hot in Summer. No air-conditioning and many mosquitoes due to nearby lake.

Alhoewel die goedkoopste op daardie tydstip, is die gehalte van fasiliteite baie bedenklik.

Beddegoed en handdoeke is oud en verslete en het vuil voorgekom. Kamer is onder die huis geleë met die huis se houtvloer en vloerbalke as dak. Ek het telkemale my kop gestamp. Die kamer self was vuil en onafgewerk (ongeverf en ongeteel). Kaste, stort, wasbak en bed was lendelam. 'n Klomp goed was in die hoek van die kamer op 'n hoop gestoor. Die person wat ons ontvang het is 'n dierbare en hulpvaardige bejaarde dame, maar dit wil voorkom asof sy alleen is en nie fisies in staat is om so 'n fasiliteit te bestuur nie. Betaal eerder 'n bietjie meer en bly in 'n ordentlike plek.

Although the cheapest at that time, the quality of facilities is very questionable.

Bed linen and towels are old and worn and appeared dirty. Room is located under the house with the house's wooden floor and floor beams as roof. I repeatedly bumped my head. The room itself was dirty and unfinished (unpainted and unfurnished). Cupboards, shower, sink and bed were washed. A bunch of stuff was stored in a pile in the corner of the room. The person we received is a lovely and helpful elderly lady, but it seems as if she is alone and physically unable to manage such a facility. Rather pay a little more and stay in a decent place.

Old furniture. Not cleaned and bins dirty.

Won’t recommend and old furniture, bedding.

Annandale Cottage 's response

Sorry that you felt that way!
In response, the furniture are fairly old, but really charming and kept in good condition. Also, it is very spacious and sunny, most people love the atmosphere of the cottage.
Sheets - the duvet set was purchased only 2 years ago. Due to the rainy weather I had to use an older undersheet which was clean and dry - I was waiting for the washing machine to be returned after being repaired, so I could not use the newer undersheet at that time.
The bins I normally put bin liners in after emptying and cleaning. Apologies if I missed one, it was a busy time and all they had to do was inform me and I would have gladly emptied it and replace with fresh bin liner.
