Baie lekker, net bitter koud.

Plekkie is mooi skoon. Braaigeriewe word verskaf as daar gevra word. Eskom net in die steek gelaat.

Very nice, just bitterly cold.

Place is nice and clean. Braai facilities are provided if requested. Eskom just let it down.

We had a very pleasant stay and would definitely go back.

Marion, the hostess was super friendly and the unit was so clean, a bonus was the off-street parking. We definitely will pass this location on to our family and friends as it is truly value for money.

Dorp is baie vervalle.

Good. Insekte was a problem. Yskas bietjie klein.

The room was very cold and no heating was provided.

We were disappointed to discover the room had two single beds which were not disclosed in the advert.

Gasvry, veilig en baie netjies en skoon.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. 'n Rustige en stil buurt. Die gasvrou is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die eenheid is baie netjies en geriefliik.

Baie lekker gebly. Gasvrou en haar man het ons baie tuis laat voel.

Sal vir seker weer daar oorbly. Die gasvrou en haar man het seker gemaak ons is op die hoogte van kragonderbrekingskedule. Hulle het ook dadelik water gebring toe waterkrisis opgeduik het.

Very nice stay. Hostess and her husband made us feel very much at home.

Will stay there again for sure. The hostess and her husband made sure we were aware of power outage schedule. They also immediately brought water when water crisis arose.

Cosy accommodation.

The hosts are very friendly. The accommodation was neat and cosy. However, there were quite a number of spiders and spiderwebs in the cottage. For a family that have a fear of spiders, this was the only thing that put us off.

This is a most comfortable, well appointed accommodation. Marion is a delightful hostess who does her utmost to make your stay all that you could want it to be. For someone who does not want to be too close to the center of Grahamstown and who is looking for real value for money you could not do better than stay here.

Their is ample room for the four people that this little house can sleep.

Ons het van Antique Silk gebruik gemaak vir 'n oorslaap van die Wes-Kaap na Pietermaritzburg en weer terug ook.

Die eerste keer toe ons daar aangekom het, was ons goed ontvang en dadelik welkom laat voel. Die blyplekkie was goed ingerig gewees, daaroor kan ek nie kla nie. Toe ons na ons vakansie weer daaroor oorslaap was die eienaar nie daar gewees nie, maar daar was iemand wat vir ons gewag het. Die eienaar was behulpsaam gewees met inligting oor waar ons heen kan gaan vir aandete. Daar was vir ons koffie, suiker en melk uitgesit. Die 2 aande wat ons daar was kon ons uitgerus het vir die lang pad wat nog op ons gewag het.

We used Antique Silk for a stopover from the Western Cape to Pietermaritzburg and back again as well.

The first time we arrived there, we were well received and immediately made to feel welcome. The place to stay was well furnished, I can't complain about that. When we slept over it again after our holiday, the owner was not there, but there was someone waiting for us. The owner was helpful with information about where we could go for dinner. Coffee, sugar and milk were set out for us. The 2 nights we were there we could have rested for the long road that still awaited us.

Very neat accommodation. Facilities questionable.

Very neat accommodation. Description of place misleading i.e. ended up being a very small wooden hut. Very cold in Grahamstown, heater removed from room, no electric blankets, no hot water for two mornings.
