Cute place.
Very nice place, friendly cute owner. Complained a few times about the neighbors - the permanent resident smokes marijuana all day and is active in the evenings, so no one can sleep. The owner did address it, but the guest simply ignored him.

Hopeless place. The woman had to use her mobile phone so we could go up to the room and back. No electricity! Then taken to Threebees. Cutlery a shame. No coffee, tea or milk. Electrical wiring is a hazard. No introduction on arrival at both locations. Style here. First time we come to two such places in a row. What you see is not what you get!

Aangename, vriendelike personeel (Elizabeth). Sy het werklik uit haar pad gegaan om ons te akkommodeer al was dit reeds na middernag wat ons opgedaag het by die gastehuis. Saam met ons deur die kamer gegaan en gewys waar alles is en ons 'n goeie nagrus toegewens. Sal definitief aanbeveel.

Pleasant, friendly staff (Elizabeth). She really went out of her way to accommodate us even though it was already after midnight when we arrived at the guest house. Went through the room with us and showed us where everything was and wished us a good night's rest. Will definitely recommend.
Would definitely recommend the guest house. We inconvenienced them by arriving late. Still we were received kindly. Really enjoyable.

Photos are misleading. The room had no microwave or kettle. No soap at the sink. I wonder how such a guest house can still make a living? The furniture in the living room is so dirty and the stove plates in the kitchen are disgusting. What a huge disappointment.

What you see and what you get are 2 different things.
Photos only indicate the good portions and not the actual. One pays money and expects certain things but sitting is not provided. Would describe it as backpacker rather than B&B. Room not as in photos. No DStv, just normal SABC channels. Will not book there again. Would rather pay more elsewhere to get quality.

A very good guest house, but in need of renovation and professional reception.
Aves Indigo is very well located, affordable, clean, very nicely furnished and decorated and provides a delicious breakfast included in the price. However, there was no form of reception when we arrived, in fact our booking was lost and the online agent had to sort it out for us, which they did very professionally and efficiently. The entire building needs renovation and the parking facilities are not adequate or safe enough. Half of the guests' cars must be parked on the street. Although there is talk of a night watchman, I never saw him. Despite the mentioned problems, we had a wonderful stay and would recommend the guest house with an open heart.

Disappointing!
We spent the night at Aves Indigo in Montana, Pretoria last weekend, and I just wanted to share our absolute disappointment with you. It was our wedding night, and so my husband and my brother quickly popped in earlier in the afternoon to get the keys etc. and they waited a long time at the gate, afterwards but called the owner, then he sent the servant to open for them, who only gave them the keys. No other information or such was conveyed. The night we arrived there was no hot water to take a nice shower. Also, the whole room was full of cockroaches, which then got into some of our food. The shower handle keeps falling off. There was no soap or shampoo in the bathroom. The bedside lamp didn't work, the headlight had one bulb that didn't work. The next morning we were downstairs, after probably looking for half an hour for anyone working there, we located a servant behind the kitchen. She explained to us that there is no breakfast. We'll just have to go to one of their other guesthouses to eat. Okay, so then we went to the other place they were talking about. The person there told us that the next morning we would be able to eat at our own place. Although the next morning it was the same story. The pool was grass green and we couldn't swim anywhere, which was exactly why we chose the place. We could hardly sit outside on the porch because of all the leaves and branches and wet cushions on the furniture. To conclude, we were supposed to have had a lovely honeymoon, and I'm not one to complain very soon, but this was really not what I expected. It is such a beautiful building and house, but it is very poorly managed.

Very disappointing.
On arrival the bell didn't seem to work so we had to call to get service. The manager was not there, and we were received by a female employee who did not know about us. There was not a room ready for us. We got a room but an extra bed had to be brought in for the third adult in our group. However, no extra towel or an extra coffee mug was provided. Water was lying in the corridor while the shower taps were loose. It's a beautiful house and a nice room, but it's a shame that the service made it an unpleasant experience for us.

Pleasant but very poor customer service.
Upon our arrival, we were greeted by one of the workers who was happy to share with us that she still had some ironing to do before she could return home. She first took us to an apartment and after we had to call the owner she took us to one of 2 rooms in the category we booked. There was no toilet paper, coffee, tea or sugar (even though it was advertised as such). It just shows me that the room is not prepared for us. After asking for the shortages we received them quite quickly. The breakfast the next morning was delicious and so was on day 2. However, we were never informed when it was served. The advertisement mentions that DStv is available and it is not. Parking is also a problem as there are only 2 parking spaces behind a gate. This led to another phone conversation with the owner as we parked behind the gate and undercover on day 1 and couldn't park there again on day 2 when we returned. However, later in the evening the parking space was available again. They also claim that Afrikaans is spoken. Not once were we served in Afrikaans, in other words: their statement is untrue. I would also suggest that they do install a door for the bathroom in room 6. Communication only exists when you call the owner, the staff at the guest house in no way make you feel welcome while you are there. We will definitely not use this guest house again.

Didn't feel very welcome.
The attitude of staff was very stiff and sluggish. The noise from the kitchen early in the morning is of such a nature that one does not need an alarm clock. Parking was a nightmare. It is clear that the premises are not at all suitable for a guest house. On my reservation I was told by one Master that there are only three covered parking spaces and that it is on a first come basis. It became clear on the first day that this was not the case at all. The three covered parking spaces were taken up by two vehicles which are under such a thick layer of dust, which suggests that the vehicle has not been used for at least a few weeks or more. (Maybe it's just stored there?)

We really didn't have a good welcome. That evening the staff made so much noise that my husband and I couldn't even hear each other upstairs in the room. We finally packed up our things and went looking for other accommodation. I would not recommend anyone to stay there.
