Lekker geslaap maar nie weer nie.

Dit was 'n lekker slaapplek. Die bed is ongelooflik. Ek dink net die prys is bietjie hoog. Vir die standaard is R500 tot R550 'n beter prys. Die ou plekkie is in die 80's vasgevang maar mooi skoon. Die pad soontoe is aaklig. 'n Sinkplaat-grondpad. Wanneer 'n mens daar aankom, is daar nie kennisgewings vir ontvangs en rigting nie.

Slept well but not again.

It was a nice place to sleep. The bed is amazing. I just think the price is a bit high. For the standard, R500 to R550 is a better price. The old place is stuck in the 80s but nice and clean. The road there is horrible. A galvanized sheet dirt road. When one arrives there, there are no notices for reception and direction.

Alhoewel dit basiese verblyf is, is dit goedkoper wat waarde vir geld bied. Geen internet beskikbaar nie.

Die verblyf is op 'n plaas wat sekuriteit 'n hoër risiko maak. Daar is 'n sekuriteitswag op diens in die nag.

Although this is basic accommodation, it is cheaper which offers value for money. No internet available.

The accommodation is on a farm which makes security a higher risk. There is a security guard on duty at night.

Pragtige en netjiese plek.

Wat 'n pragtige en netjiese plekkie. Sal dit enige tyd vir my familie en vriende aanbeveel. Die prys is ook redelik. Miskien, ek weet nie of ek dit misgekyk het nie, kan dalk net genoem word daar is 'n ketel, klein yskassie beskikbaar. Kan ek ook net aanbeveel dat daar dalk net tee ook by te sit en bietjie beter melk. Maar verder ws alles baie goed, baie dankie.

Beautiful and neat place.

What a beautiful and neat place. Will recommend it to my family and friends anytime. The price is also reasonable. Maybe, I don't know if I missed it, maybe just mentioned there is a kettle, small fridge available. Can I also just recommend that maybe just add tea and a little better milk. But otherwise everything is very good, thank you very much.

Simple and fuss-free.

Simple and fuss-free, it was easy to find, easy to access and a fuss-free stay. The cottage was basic, but had all that we needed, and the staff was very friendly when we saw them around.

Peaceful location, tranquility, intimate, the security guards are very friendly and make sure you feel safe.

It's kind of strange and hesitant before you reach the destination because it is up on the hills, but nice homely rooms.

Die verblyf is oud, maar die badkamer, stort was 100% netjies en skoon.

Hulle was vriendelik en behulpsaam - veral Jeff. Verblyf was oud, maar netjies en het alles wat mens nodig het vir oornag. Hulle kan wel bietjie agter die meubels en tafeltjie skoonmaak in die kamer (bietjie spinnerakke), maar badkamer en beddegoed was silwerskoon. Die verblyf was heeltemal cool vir ons.

They were friendly and helpful - especially Jeff. Accommodation was old, but neat and has everything one needs for an overnight stay. They could do a bit of cleaning behind the furniture and table in the room (a bit of cobwebs), but the bathroom and bedding were spotless. The stay was totally cool for us.

Glad nie soos verwag van webtuiste se gastehuise nie of soos per foto's nie.

Die tannie is vreeslik oulik en gasvry en behulpsaam, maar die plek is aaklig. Die kamers is donker, erg pedompig, oudtyds, vol goggas en die een toilet wou nie spoel nie en lek. Beddegoed was darem skoon. Geen aircon en regtig nie 'n plek wat ek vir ons sou kies, sou ek geweet het hoe dit is nie.

Translate to English.

Not at all as expected from website guest houses or as per photos.

The aunt is terribly cute and hospitable and helpful, but the place is awful. The rooms are dark, very stuffy, old fashioned, full of bugs and the one toilet wouldn't flush and leaked. At least the bedding was clean. No aircon and really not a place I would have chosen for us had I known what it was like.

Webtuiste stem nie ooreen met wat jy ervaar.

Die plan was vir 'n rustige aand weg van die gewoel. Wat ons gekry het: geen privaatheid - daar is permanente inwoners wat die heeltyd verby loop of ry. As jy buite sit kyk jy in 'n muur vas. Dit het begin hael en daar is geen onderdakparkeerplek nie. Onder die matjie in die kamer was dit erg stof. Ek het gevra vir 2 enkelbeddens en telefonies bevestig. Dit was toe 1 bed. Geen ekstra toiletpapier. Definitief nie waarde vir geld nie.

Website does not match what you experience.

The plan was for a quiet evening away from the hustle and bustle. What we got: no privacy - there are permanent residents walking or driving by all the time. If you sit outside you are staring at a wall. It started to hail and there is no undercover parking. Under the mat in the room it was very dusty. I asked for 2 single beds and confirmed by phone. It was then 1 bed. No extra toilet paper. Definitely not value for money.

Aaklig.

Daar is geen lugversorging of waaiers nie. Die waaier wat ons gekry het, het nie eers gewerk nie. Glad nie die waarde vir wat 'n mens betaal nie.

Apricot Hill Farm does not look like the pictures on the web. Old equipment, no generator, small bar fridge and even smaller TV.

I am not one for bad reviews but this was not the best experience. The room is large the kitchen is not equip for self catering. There is only a 2 plate stove on top of the counter with a small bar fridge (could not even fit my 2l cold drinks in there). The equipment in the unit is very old and outdated. The TV is so small you can't even see that is on and it is only SABC. We all understand load shedding, but if you run accommodation and you can run a generator in your house you can link up your units. We arrived with no electricity and had to make alternative arrangement for dinner while we can hear the generator supplying power to the owner. Sorry but this is a no go for me.

Privaat, gerieflik, skoon en veilig, met al die basiese geriewe vir 'n naweekwegbreek.

Deurlopende kommunikasie en vriendelike ontvangs deur Wendy. Cradle Cottage was privaat, netjies en goed ingerig vir 'n naby wegbreek. Mens het werklik nie meer geriewe nodig as wat daar gebied word nie.
