Die beste.

Wat 'n ongelooflike pragtige plek. Puikdiens deur Gerrit. My honde en kleinkind, sowel as ons, het dit terdeë geniet.

Baie lekker gebly.

Heerlike weggesteekte huisie. Pragtige stoep en braaiplek, heerlike riviertjie om in te plas. Sou net baie graag 'n lekker tafel en stoele op die stoep ook wou gehad het!

Very nice stay.

Lovely hidden cottage. Beautiful porch and braai area, lovely little river to pee in. Would have loved to have a nice table and chairs on the porch too!

Despite bg. incident, it was a lovely few days after all.

What a truly beautiful setting! In winter though, it gets really cold. One is given a bag of firewood, but charged thereafter if you use it. Moreover, the furniture is very rickety. Our seater outside collapsed while we were sitting on it enjoying a glass of wine admiring the view, tipping us onto the cement, for all of which we were separately invoiced. Not a lot, mind you. But I cut myself trying to save the glass, and it still broke.

Bailey's Riverside Cottage 's response

Thank you for your feedback, Erina. While we value all reviews, I must address several inaccuracies in your comments to provide a clear and honest picture for future guests.

1. A large batch of free firewood is provided to guests, as was the case here. Additional bags can be bought, as was made clear upon arrival.
2. No invoice was provided for the bench that broke, which is currently in repair.
3. The guest requested that a day night switch be switched off. While in the process of disconnecting the wire, out of impatience, the guest jerked the cable, breaking the light in the process.

We strive to provide a high-quality experience and take pride in the positive feedback we receive. It is however difficult to understand when inaccurate feedback is given, one can only speculate.

Vodoende.

Alles was wat ek verwag het, behalwe die volgende: WiFi pin verkeerd. Vlermuis in die huis toe ek die aand by die huis kom en skouer beseer met gesukkel om die vlermuis uit die huis te kry. Nie geslaag nie. Ingang na parkering baie nou en gesukkel om die motor deur die hek te kry. Pad by die ingang moet verbreed word of takke aan die oorkant van die ingang terug geknip word. Sal graag 'n laken op die bed wil hê.

Everything was what I expected, except the following: WiFi pin wrong. Bat in the house when I came home that night and injured my shoulder struggling to get the bat out of the house. Not passed. Entrance to parking very narrow and struggled to get the car through the gate. Road at the entrance needs to be widened or branches on the opposite side of the entrance cut back. Would like a sheet on the bed.

Bailey's Riverside Cottage 's response

Baie dankie dat jy jou ervaring by ons gastehuis gedeel het. Ons waardeer alle terugvoer, aangesien dit ons help om te verbeter en ons gaste se behoeftes beter te verstaan.

Ek is jammer om te hoor van die probleme wat jy ervaar het en wil graag beklemtoon dat, soos genoem, ek tydens jou verblyf altyd beskikbaar was om enige kwessies op te los. Ek moedig gaste altyd aan om my direk te kontak sodat ek onmiddellik kan help en hul ervaring so aangenaam as moontlik kan maak.

Ek wil graag op jou opmerkings reageer:

WiFi PIN: Ek is jammer oor die verwarring met die verkeerde formaat van die PIN (hoofletter wat klein letter moes wees). Gelukkig kon ons dit vinnig regstel, en ek waardeer jou geduld hieroor.

Vlermuis-voorval: Ek is regtig jammer oor hierdie onverwagte situasie. Sulke voorvalle is uiters skaars, en ek sou graag wou gehelp het as jy my gekontak het. Ek verstaan dat dit baie frustrerend kon wees.

Ingang na parkering: Dit is 'n ou plaashek en dit is ongelukkig hulle groottes. Ek sal kyk hoe ons die toegang makliker kan maak – dalk deur die takke te snoei waar nodig.

Laken op die bed: Dit is vir my ondenkbaar dat daar nie ‘n laken op jou bed was nie. Ek dra groot sorg dat al ons beddens volledig opgemaak is en sal hierdie saak onmiddellik met my span opneem. Indien jy enige verdere besonderhede kan gee - soos watter bed dit kon wees. Is dit dalk een van die beddens in die leefarea? Dit sal dit baie help om die situasie te ondersoek.

Ek waardeer jou terugvoer en hoop dat ons jou in die toekoms weer kan verwelkom vir ‘n foutlose en genotvolle ervaring.

Tranquility in the heart of the Klein Karoo.

This is the ideal place to unwind away from the pressures of the city. The cottage is tastefully decorated with antique furniture, the views are splendid, and it was an unexpected pleasure using Clementina van der Walt crockery. Gerrit's dog Chunky kept us company on both days and walked the 4km with us to Peter Bayly Wines. What more do you need on a country break than a generous stoep, an unmatched view, and a friendly dog? Bailey's Riverside Cottage has them all.

Rustige bestemming met als wat jy nodig het.

Ons was vriendelik ontvang deur Gerrit en het alles gehad wat ons nodig het. Die ligging van hierdie blyplek is perfek om die area te verken, maar is ook perfek as 'n bestemming as jy net wil rus.

Peaceful destination with everything you need.

We were kindly received by Gerrit and had everything we needed. The location of this accommodation is perfect for exploring the area, but is also perfect as a destination if you just want to rest.

Groenfontein het my hart gesteel.

Heerlike naweek met my honde, stilte en rus vir die siel.

Gerrit was Baie behulpsaam en vriendelik, kon hom met vrymiedigheid skakel indien enige iets sou opduik. Die honde het hulle self geniet, en Gerrit het nie 'n probleem gehad dat dit groot honde was nie. Die enigste negatiewe ding vir my was geen diefwering voor vensters. Glad nie kritiek nie, ek hou net van met 'n venster oop slaap maar was te bang aangesien 'n groot mens deur meeste van die vensters kan pas. Het met alles toe geslaap. 'n Braaibak sal nice wees maar dis seker bederfies. Baie lekker gebly en sal weer teruggaan.

Lovely weekend with my dogs, silence and rest for the soul.

Gerrit was very helpful and friendly, could call him freely if anything came up. The dogs enjoyed themselves, and Gerrit didn't have a problem with the fact that they were big dogs. The only negative thing for me was no burglar bars in front of windows. Not a criticism at all, I just like to sleep with a window open but was too scared as a large person can fit through most of the windows. Slept with everything then. A braai would be nice but it's probably spoiling. Very nice stay and will go back again.
