Lekker warm geslaap en sal weer terug gaan soontoe.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Alles was netjies en het heerlike warm water gehad in die ysige koue. Lekker kombuisgeriewe. Het nie geweet WiFi is beskikbaar nie.

Tevrede. Ontspanne.

Rustig. Plaaslewe naby dorp. Geen TV, ideaal vir ouer mense. Het alles gehad wat ek nodig gehad het. Sal weer gaan.

Comfortable 1-night stay.

We (4 of us) only stayed 1 night with my wife and friends, and it was relatively good for a 1-night sleepover. There was a hot water pipe hammer when the shower was used, so the pipe hammer should be fixed, possibly by replacing the hot water tap washer. Also, the grass was relatively long, i.e. around 100mm high all over the garden, so the grass should also be cut more regularly.

Genoegsaam maar kan beslis baie beter.

Die eienaar was baie tegemoetkomend na ons blyplek weens sneeu nie bereikbaar was nie en het ons 'n ekstra nag gegee. Die kothuis is netjies maar het werk nodig. Dit is yskoud binne met geen verwarmer beskikbaar nie. Geen WiFi, geen TV. Voordeur kan nie behoorlik sluit nie. Koffie, tee en suiker was beskikbaar, maar geen melk. Dit het nie verwelkomend gevoel nie en ons moes self warm komberse soek en op die beddens sit. Die stortkop van die bad werk nie en die geyser is klein. Twee mense kan blitsig stort voordat die water koud is. In die besoekersboekie, wat reeds vol is, is dieselfde voorstelle amper 10 jaar terug gemaak wat mens laat voel die eienaar stel nie belang om gaste gemaklik en lekker te laat bly nie. Boek vroeg en kry 'n plek met al die ekstras vir dieselfde prys. Selfs die hotel was skaars R300 duurder en bied baie meer.

Adequate but can definitely be much better.

The owner was very accommodating to our accommodation not being accessible due to snow and gave us an extra night. The cottage is neat but needs work. It is freezing cold inside with no heater available. No WiFi, no TV. Front door cannot close properly. Coffee, tea and sugar were available, but no milk. It didn't feel welcoming and we had to find warm blankets ourselves and sit on the beds. The shower head of the bathtub does not work and the geyser is small. Two people can take a quick shower before the water is cold. In the visitor's booklet, which is already full, the same suggestions were made almost 10 years ago, which makes one feel that the owner is not interested in making guests stay comfortable and enjoyable. Book early and get a place with all the extras for the same price. Even the hotel was barely R300 more expensive and offered much more.

Sukkel na 19:00 om eienaar in die hande te kry.

Ons het verdwaal en kon niemand in die hande kry om ons te help nie. Die adres moet reggestel word, ons het meer as 'n uur gesoek na die blyplek. Elke keer ons die eienaar skakel het ons net 'n boodskap teruggekry om die volgende oggend weer te skakel. Ons het ook nie die volgende oggend water gehad nie. Nie warm of koue water nie, weet nie of die "loadshedding" dit enigsins beïnvloed nie. Oor die algemeen was die plek skoon en netjies maar sal nie weer daar tuisgaan nie.

Struggling to get hold of owner after 19:00.

We got lost and couldn't get hold of anyone to help us. The address needs to be corrected, we spent over an hour looking for the place to stay. Every time we called the owner we only got a message back to call again the next morning. We didn't have water the next morning either. Not hot or cold water, don't know if the "loadshedding" affects it at all. Overall the place was clean and tidy but would not stay there again.

Daar is nie bakke om slaaie in te maak nie, daar was net 1 klein stainless steel bakkie.

Daar is nie 'n TV nie. Dit sou lekker wees as ons vooraf geweet het dat daar nie skoonmaakdienste sal wees nie. Die cottage is baie goed geleë maar ons het maar in die bad en bed geklim om warm te bly. Dit sal regtig lekker wees as hulle kan cater vir mense wat nie die restaurante besoek nie en self wil braai en kosmaak. Voorsien asb. 'n toeknyprooster, 'n pot waarin pap gemaak kan word, slaaibakke ens.

There are no bowls to make salads in, there was only 1 small stainless steel bowl.

There isn't a TV. It would be nice if we knew in advance that there would be no cleaning services. The cottage is very well located but we just climbed into the bath and bed to stay warm. It would be really nice if they could cater for people who don't visit the restaurants and want to grill and cook themselves. Please provide a cheese grater, a pot in which porridge can be made, salad bowls etc.

Baie lekker, maar kort rêrig bietjie aandag.

Die badkamerlig was stukkend en moes in die donker bad en stort. Daar was net een waaier in die kamer gewees, maar geen tweepunt-plug om die waaier in te plug nie. Gewoonlik word daar darem koffie en tee en suiker in die gastehuise vir ten minste een of twee koppies koffie geplaas, maar daar was geen koffie nie. Slegs 'n paar sakkies tee en omtrent vier sakkies suiker. Die vloere was nie uitgevee nie en die miere se sand het orals op die vloerruimte gelê. Sal iemand nie aanbeveel nie. Het al in baie gastehuise gebly en hierdie een was my slegste ervaring.

Very nice, but really needs some attention.

The bathroom light was broken and had to bathe and shower in the dark. There had only been one fan in the room, but no two-prong plug to plug the fan into. Usually at least coffee and tea and sugar are placed in the guesthouses for at least one or two cups of coffee, but there was no coffee. Only a few tea bags and about four bags of sugar. The floors were not swept and the ants' sand was everywhere on the floor space. Would not recommend to anyone. Have stayed in many guesthouses and this one was my worst experience.

Lekker geslaap en rustig.

Die plek kort 'n baie goeie opknapping. Mierwerksels agter die beddens. Spinnerakke oral. Muurproppe werk nie. Net dubbelbed het warm kombers. Verf dop af. Teël in die stort staan skerp uit. Vloere lyk vuil en gevlek.

Slept well and peacefully.

The place needs a very good renovation. Ant works behind the beds. Cobwebs everywhere. Wall plugs don't work. Only double bed has warm blanket. Paint shell off. Tile in the shower stands out sharply. Floors look dirty and stained.

Terugvoering oor Badenhorst Cottage.

Ons het lekker gebly, net jammer julle gasstoof is leeg die gassleutel is stukkend. Die olielampe is leeg en helfte van die 15 amp plugs werk nie, is bietjie teleurgesteld. Daar is ook geen plek waar jy 'n nommer moet inpons, slegs 'n posbus by die voordeur.

Feedback on Badenhorst Cottage.

We had a nice stay, only sorry your gas stove is empty and the gas key is broken. The oil lamps are empty and half of the 15 amp plugs don't work, a bit disappointed. There is also no place where you have to punch in a number, only a mailbox by the front door.

Ek is jammer oor die gas sleutel en leë paraffien lamp. Die elektrisiën kon nog nie by die 15 amp prop kom nie, en daarom is dit dat die multi-plug beskikbaar was.

Die eenheid kan doen met 'n deeglike skoonmaak.

Die eenheid kort 'n bietjie aandag. Meeste van die meubels lyk soos ou tweedehandse goed. Die eetkamertafel is met draad vasgemaak. Die algemene toestand van die eenheid lyk bietjie verwaarloos.

Dit is standaard prosedure vir my om kliënte te bel nadat hulle in die akkommodasie gebly het en spesifiek te vra of alles reg was, maar meer belangrik, of iets verkeerd was. Ek het die kliënt op Woensdag, 3 Mei gebel en het bevestiging ontvang dat hulle lekker gebly het en dat daar niks fout was nie. Nadat hierdie oorsig op die webwerf verskyn het, het ek weer gebel. Hierdie keer het hulle genoem dat die kaste, eetgerei en beddegoed alles skoon was behalwe die mat in die leefkamer wat lyk of dit lanklaas gestofsuig is en dat daar 'n spinnerak tussen die bed en bedkassie op die vloer was.

Die mat is nuut en is kort voor Kersfees ingesit. Dit word elke 2 weke gestofsuig. Dit is egter van verskillende kleure strokies leer gemaak en miskien is dit waarom die gaste gedink dat die mat vuil is. Die mat was egter skoon en inderdaad op die Maandag voor die kliënt se aankoms (24 April) gestofsuig. Die spinnerak is van meer belang en bedank die gas vir die inligting. Soos gemeld, is die kamers die Maandag gestofsuig. Ons sal egter in vervolg die kamers die dag voor die gaste opdaag stofsuig.

Van die meubels is inderdaad tweedehands maar die foto's op die webwerf is duidelik hoe die plek lyk. Dankie vir die advies oor die tafel, dit is intussen uitgesorteer.

Met betrekking tot die "Location" wil ek graag noem dat die kothuis een blok weg is van die NG-Kerk plein wat die middelpunt van Wakkerstroom is.

Baie goed ingerig, maar bietjie verwaarloos.

Baie goed ingerig, oor die algemeen het die plek opknapping nodig. Daar is deure wat nie behoorlik toemaak nie, die stortdeur is stukkend, die voordeurkosyn is heeltemal los, ens. 'n TV kan ook 'n aanwins wees. Die gras is baie lank rondom die kothuis, dit moet gesny word. Andersins was dit baie lekker.
