Well located, pleasant stay with all required conveniences.

The sleeping quarters provided good privacy and access to a beautiful garden and pool/entertainment, which would be perfect in summer. It was lovely to enjoy our morning coffee there. And I have to add, thank goodness the coffee sachets provided in the room were Nescafe and not a cheaper brand. The communal kitchen was adequately fitted, including a fridge, microwave, and stove. We could leave at an ungodly hour without inconveniencing anyone, and provided WhatsApp details to allow for any additional requests or arrangements that needed to be accommodated. A perfect host without being intrusive - much appreciated.

Ontvangs en verblyf was uitstekend. Eienaar het 'n ekstra mile gegaan om ons tuis te laat voel.

Please alert your guests before coming if there are challenges, it was hot, kids.

The place was beautiful and quiet. The disappointment was the swimming pool that we could not use and had to go elsewhere for entertainment, and it was costly.

Unhappy.

We did not have cutlery or dishes in the kitchen, no toilet paper. We could not swim because they only decided to clean the pool when we arrived, and we were not informed.

Awful, unpleasing and bad experience.

I'm writing in English so that the owner can understand easily. Though the location is ideal for our family (me, my mom, and stepfather), we will not be staying there again. Firstly, there is no contact number available on Google, and the one I got the previous time is not working. There is a website for the guesthouse itself, but neither the email address nor the number works. I received no feedback from either. I have never visited a guesthouse, hotel, lodge, or any accommodation where they clean the room so thoroughly that the contents of my handbag are taken out and put away in the desk drawer. My toiletries were taken out of my vanity and put into the cupboards. I spent almost 30 minutes looking for our passports that were put away with my other things in the cupboard in the bedroom. My luggage, which I always leave open with clean clothes on one side and dirty clothes on the other side on the spare bed, was closed, my shoes mixed in with my clothes and put in the corner. My clean clothes were wrinkled and mixed with my dirty clothes. As far as I am concerned, the only thing that the cleaner needs to do is make the bed, make things tidy, yes, but leave them where they are, and clean the bathroom. Oh, and my mom didn't even have a towel for two nights; she even asked after the first night for a towel. She had to dry her face with her pajama top after washing off her makeup. We didn't even know there was WiFi available.

Dear Kata,
I am truly sorry that you did not find our South African hospitality inviting and accommodating.

With regards to the WiFi and website issue, thank you for bringing that to our attention. I have contacted our website designer in order to rectify the problem.

Kind Regards,
Chandre
