Fantasties 4 jaar gelede, fantasies nou!

Ons het vir jaar gelede in 2019 by hierdie heerlike selfsorg eenheid oorgebly. Nou weer in 2023 en dit is steeds fantasties. Pat is 'n uitstekende gasvrou! Alles wat jy nodig het en die wasmasjien vir langer verblyf is wonderlik. Ons het vir 3 nagte bespreek maar 6 gebly. Dankie Pat!

Fantastic 4 years ago, fantastic now!

We stayed at this lovely self-catering unit for a year ago in 2019. Now back in 2023 and it's still fantastic. Pat is an excellent hostess! Everything you need and the washing machine for longer stays is great. We booked for 3 nights but stayed 6. Thanks Pat!

Thanks for the review and I'm glad your overall stay was pleasant. Yes, this is a smaller cottage which I why I tried to not use wide-angle lens photos, which misrepresent size. However, guests are always very welcome to ask questions before the booking process is complete. Many do, and this is always welcomed as ultimately, guests know what to expect, and it avoids disappointment in general.

Baie netjiese verblyf in 'n veilige buurt met 'n vriendelike en behulpsame gasvrou teen 'n baie redelike prys.

Pat, ons gasvrou, het ons by die perseel verwelkom. Koffie en verkeie tipes tee, suiker en melk het gesorg vir 'n drinkdingetjie na die lang rit. Goeie Wi-Fi op 'n battery en 'n lig wat aangaan as Eskom afgaan het gesorg dat ons in die lig met die buitewêreld kon kommunikeer. Die wooneenheid en perseel is baie netjies en in 'n veilige woonbuurt. Die prys is billik en heelwat laer as in vergelykbare verblyf.

Very neat accommodation in a safe neighborhood with a friendly and helpful hostess at a very reasonable price.

Pat, our hostess, welcomed us to the premises. Coffee and various types of tea, sugar and milk provided a refreshment after the long drive. Good Wi-Fi on a battery and a light that comes on when Eskom goes down ensured that we could communicate with the outside world in the light. The residential unit and premises are very neat and in a safe neighbourhood. The price is reasonable and much lower than in comparable accommodation.

Barnacle Tree Cottage 's response

Dear Erika,

It's always disappointing to hear a guest didn't have a pleasant and comfortable stay. We welcome customers suggestions and try to provide amenities that make their stay enjoyable. I do note that you don't find the couch comfortable - perhaps it's just time to replace it. There is, however, good security lighting around the cottage: A high wattage day/night security light in front, a light down the garden on the side, and the lights that come on when the gate opens. The switches are even labelled, but I can appreciate that guests are not familiar with cottage and perhaps don't notice the bank of 3 switches. But point taken, in future, I shall leave the front security light on at all times, which gives guests the option to switch it off if it bothers them. Regarding the privacy aspect, the listing does have accurate marketing images, and I've been as clear as I possibly can in the marketing description, and describe the cottage as a suitable choice for visiting academics, business people etc as it is fully equipped. I also mention that it is on a residential property, so yes, it is not totally private. However, we aim to provide clean, neat, comfortable and functional accommodation that is affordable and good value for money. One of the reasons I make contact with and reply to clients questions promptly is so that they can ask me any questions regarding the accommodation. I find that this is a good time to establish their needs - guests are welcome to ask any questions prior to or even after booking. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your stay.

I love the idea of having your own little courtyard and the layout of the unit is very user friendly.

This is much better than any hotel room. The area is quiet and it felt like home from home. Will definitely use this accommodation again in the future. Even though this is a self-catering unit, the host has put coffee, tea, milk etc. in the unit. Really appreciated this.

Amazing.

This place was awesome, close to the shops and the area is nice. I really enjoyed my stay, and I am really looking forward to staying there again. The host was super friendly and made sure that I was comfortable at all times. I really recommend the place 100%. Thanks Pat.

Goed toegeruste en netjiese selfsorgwoonstel.

Ons het heerlik gebly en het alles gehad wat ons nodig gehad het. Die woonstel is goed toegerus en die gasvrou was ingestel om ons welkom te laat voel en het ook gesorg dat ons alles het wat ons moontlik kon nodig kry. Pat het na die fynere dingetjies omgesien soos vars melk in die yskas vir koffie en vars blommetjies in die kamer. Ons het dit raakgesien en baie waardeer.

Well-equipped and tidy self-catering apartment.

We had a lovely stay and had everything we needed. The apartment is well equipped and the hostess was keen to make us feel welcome and also made sure we had everything we could possibly need. Pat took care of the finer things like fresh milk in the fridge for coffee and fresh flowers in the room. We noticed it and really appreciated it.

Goeie gehalteverblyf.

Baie netjiese woonstel met feitlik alles wat jy nodig het. Linne en beddegoed is van goeie gehalte en alles is ordelik en skoon. Pat is 'n goeie gasvrou wat jou baie tuis laat voel en haar brosjure met verwysings na dokters, winkelsentrums, noodnommers, ens. voeg nog net meer waarde by. Ons het die drinkgoed en beskuit baie geniet Dis een blyplek wat met trots aangebied kan word.

Good quality accommodation.

Very neat apartment with almost everything you need. Linen and bedding are of good quality and everything is orderly and clean. Pat is a good host who makes you feel at home and her brochure with references to doctors, shopping malls, emergency numbers, etc. just add more value. We enjoyed the drinks and rusks a lot. It is a place to be proudly presented.

Puik.

Aan meer as die verwagting voldoen, die ekstras soos melk, graanvlokkies, beskuit ens was 'n bonus. Sal beslis Barbacle Tree sterk aanbeveel.

Great.

More than expected, the extras like milk, cornflakes, rusks etc. were a bonus. Will definitely recommend Barbacle Tree.

'n Juweel van 'n plekkie!

Rustig, skoon, netjies en alles wat nodig is vir 'n lang verblyf. Beslis waarde vir geld. Pat het moeite gedoen om my tuis te laat voel.

Meer as wat 'n mens nodig het.

Baie mooi en netjies. Die eienaar was vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die plek is naby aan winkels en hoofpaaie. Baie gerieflik.

Met aankoms word jy baie verwelkom en alles word mooi aan jou verduidelik. Die kamer en geriewe is uiters netjies en skoon asook uiters goed toegerus met meer as wat 'n person kan vra. Pat is 'n puik gasvrou en uiters behulpsaam.

Good accommodation.

Friendly hostess, comfortable unit. Some plumbing issues. As with most accommodation, there is no hook for a mosquito net, for those of us who don't want chemical inhalation. The iron did not work, but there is a good clothes stand. The kitchen is well laid out, the lounge is comfortable and there is a nice outside table with chairs.

Barnacle Tree Cottage 's response

Dear Scott,

Thank you for this review.

It's always good to know of extras that guest might want or need, so thanks for the tip about the mosquito net.

The iron is absolutely brand new, so I'm not sure what happened there.

You were great guests, very accommodating and it was really nice having you here.

Regards,
Barnacle Tree
