Great accommodation for a short stay.

We needed some accommodation as we needed to stay 2 nights in Somerset West as my wife needed to have an operation on her foot and would be in plaster for one night and would have difficulty walking. Barlinka Lane was ideal as we could park close to the door of the flat and it was a short level walk to the flat. But the best of all was that the owner was kind enough to loan us a wheelchair which made moving my wife around a lot easier. The flat was clean and the twin beds were comfortable, the area is quiet and I spent an hour walking around the area and felt quite safe. The flat also has good security. A little warning: the wash hand basin is a little too high. I did not find it any problem and I am 176 cm. WiFi worked well.

Uitstekende, intieme plekkie.

Niemand om jou of wat jou pla nie. Plek word weekliks, netjies skoongemaak deur die eienaar. Ons was glad nie in mekaar se pad nie. Ekt my eie sleutel vir hek gehad, so dit was veilig.

Rolstoel behoeftes maklik hanteer.

Net die geyser opsie (bv. gas) vir vinniger warm maak om water te spaar met daai lang loop van kraan vir opwarm sal dalk help. Verder was ons gemaklik.

Wheelchair needs easily handled.

Only the geyser option (e.g. gas) for faster heating to save water with that long running tap for heating might help. Other than that we were comfortable.

Ons het net blyplek gesoek en dit was goed genoeg vir dit.

Die kamer het nogal erg na rook geruik, wat nie lekker was nie. In die winter sal 'n ekstra kombers dalk nodig wees. Die res was alles goed.

We were just looking for a place to stay and this was good enough for that.

The room smelled quite strongly of smoke, which was not pleasant. In winter an extra blanket may be needed. The rest was all good.

I do apologize, a previous guest did not follow the rules and smoked inside. I blocked my calendar for a week and washed everything, curtains, carpets, cushions, chair covers etc. I have now repeated this process again and also put an air purifier in the flatlet. I had guests over the long weekend and they were very happy, the problem has been solved. This is the first time I had problems with guests not following the rules. Most of my guests leave my place immaculate and for that I am very grateful.
There is a heater in the flatlet and I do put a big warm blanket on the bed when it starts getting cold.

We were very impressed with the unit.

Our reservations about booking of accommodation, sight unseen, were totally unfounded. A constructive comment is that a few more hooks around the hand basin/shower area for the hanging of towels would not go amiss.

Our stay was very comfortable and private. Zelda did everything possible to make sure we were happy and accommodated us with everyone of our requests. We will definitely go back there.

Zelda was always available to ensure that we were comfortable and to assist with anything that we needed or requested. The venue was fitted out with every single thing one would need. We stayed for almost two weeks and were very contented.

Meer as perfek!

Dit was regtig so lekker om daar te bly. Die plekkie is lekker naby die winkelsentrum en ooral waar ons wou wees. Ons kon lekker braai en buitekant kuier, wat heerlik was! Die woonstel is ook baie goed ingerig vir 'n "self catering" woonstel. Ek sal definitief weer daar wil bly en ek sal dit x100 keer aanbeveel!

It was really so nice to stay there. The place is nice and close to the shopping center and everywhere we wanted to be. We were able to barbecue and hang out outside, which was lovely! The apartment is also very well equipped for a "self catering" apartment. I would definitely want to stay there again and I would recommend it x100 times!

Uitstekende verblyf met goeie beligting, WiFi en duidelik persoonlike aandag aan detail.

Die Gastehuis moes op baie kort kennisgewing instaan in die plek van 'n ander gastehuis. Alles was uitstekend en ons het baie welkom gevoel. Duidelik mense wat die gasvryheidsbedryf verstaan. Ligging was uitstekend met vinnige toegang tot hoofroetes, winkelsentrums en eetplekke. Sal beslis aanbeveel en self weer gebruik.
