Lekker verblyf, maar log cabin kort baie regruk.

Die stoof werk nie, en daar kort ekstra komberse. Die oortreksels op die banke is vuil, mure is vuil, alles kort TLC.

Nice stay, but log cabin needs a lot of straightening.

The natural surroundings are extremely beautiful. Place was clean and very spacious. Easy to find and access with a car that is not 4x4. We had an excellent stay. Kitchen had stove, fridge, microwave & all kitchen utensils. Would definitely go back.

Sophie jy is 'n fantastiese mens en dankie baie vir jou pragtige plekkie wat jy aan ons geleen het die naweek, baie memories gebou en sommer gemaak ook, dankie baie dat ons vroeër kon inboek ons het dit baie waardeer. Berghaven het alles wat jy nodig het, dit is netjies en 'n baie cosy plekkie. Daar was nou regtig niks waaroor ons kon kla nie. Ek sal julle beslis aanbeveel, 10/10 vir julle, hoop om Berghaven gou weer te sien.

Uitstekend, aangenaam, verfrissend.

Baie aangename ontvangs deur eienaar, gedurige goeie kommunikasie. Ekstra moeite met aanwysings. Die plek laat jou tuis voel, alles is netjies en skoon. Kussings ens. word ook gewas en het nie mens reuke. Daar is goeie voorsorg getref om glad nie koud te wees op koue dae nie, en dis presies hoe dit was. Dit was koud en reënerig, hout was reg vir die kaggel en in die briefie waar om hout te koop sou ons uit hout wees. Alhoewel asbes-verwarmers teen mure gekraak is, het dit gewerk en die koue gebreek. Daar was ekstra verwarmertjies in die kaste. Ons het heerlik gebly en geslaap. Daar was alles en meer wat ons nodig het, soos 'n lekker koffie-masjientjie, haardroër. Dit was regtig 'n aangename ondervinding met 'n vriendelike eienaar wat gepla is oor die welstand van haar gaste.

Excellent, pleasant, refreshing.

Very pleasant reception by owner, constant good communication. Extra effort with directions. The place makes you feel at home, everything is neat and clean. Pillows etc. is also washed and does not have human odors. Great care was taken not to be cold at all on cold days, and that's exactly how it was. It was cold and rainy, wood was ready for the fireplace and in the letter where to buy wood we would be out of wood. Although asbestos heaters were cracked against walls, they worked and broke the cold. There were extra heaters in the cupboards. We had a wonderful stay and slept. There was everything and more we needed, like a nice little coffee machine, hairdryer. It was a really pleasant experience with a friendly owner who is concerned about the well-being of her guests.

Die omgewing is pragtig, maar die verblyf was effens teleurstellend.

Ons teleurgesteld, aangesien ons hoë verwagtinge van die naweek gehad het. DVD-speler, daaglikse skoonmaakdienste, gasbraaier en gemaklike meubels in die leefarea word genoem op die webtuiste, maar dit was nie die geval nie. Die meubels was oud en afgeleef. As jy op die bank gaan sit, val jy tussen die sitplekke in. By party plekke is die gordyne van die relings af, die mat is ooglopend stukkend. Die eienaar het by navraag haar DVD-speler geoffer, maar ons wou nie hulle verontrief daardeur nie. Ons is die dag voor ons vertrek na Underberg ingelig dat die gasbraaier stukkend is. Daar is egter ook 'n gewone braaier, maar daar is geen beskutting om die braaier nie, wat gesellig kuier om die vuur onmoontlik maak. Die plek het baie potensiaal, maar ek voel dit benodig bietjie aandag.

The surroundings are beautiful, but the accommodation was slightly disappointing.

We disappointed, as we had high expectations of the weekend. DVD player, daily cleaning services, gas grill and comfortable furniture in the living area are mentioned on the website, but this was not the case. The furniture was old and shabby. When you sit down on the sofa, you fall between the seats. In some places the curtains are off the rails, the carpet is obviously broken. The owner offered her DVD player when asked, but we didn't want to inconvenience them. We were informed the day before we left for Underberg that the gas grill was broken. However, there is also an ordinary braai, but there is no shelter around the braai, which makes cozy gatherings around the fire impossible. The place has a lot of potential, but I feel it needs some attention.

Perfekte huis vir 'n wegbreek.

Hierdie was regtig 'n juweel van 'n plek en al waaroor ek spyt is is dat ons nie 'n week daar gebly het in plaas van net een aand nie. Die eienares was ook vreeslik gaaf deur ons 3 ure vroeër as inboektyd te akkommodeer en het selfs vir ons die huissleutels gebring waar ons besig was om ontbyt te geniet in Underberg. Die huis self is skitterend uiteengesit wat jou alles bied wat jy kan benodig. Kamers en beddens was professioneel voorberei wat jou van die begin af sommer tuis laat voel. Daar is genoeg beddens om groter gesinne maklik te akkommodeer asook the 2 badkamers wat dit vergemaklik. Die kaggel tussen die kombuis en TV kamer het die koue Underberg wêreld sommer vinnig omskep in 'n warm gesellige atmosfeer. Ons sal beslis weer teruggaan as ons ooit weer in daai deel van die wêreld reis. Baie dankie vir Sophie (die eienares) wat ons so vriendelik ontvang het.

Perfect home for a getaway.

This really was a gem of a place and all I regret is that we didn't stay there for a week instead of just one night. The owner was also very nice by accommodating us 3 hours earlier than check-in time and even brought us the house keys while we were enjoying breakfast in Underberg. The house itself is brilliantly laid out providing you with everything you could possibly need. Rooms and beds were professionally prepared, making you feel right at home from the start. There are enough beds to easily accommodate larger families as well as the 2 bathrooms which make it easier. The fireplace between the kitchen and TV room quickly transformed the cold Underberg world into a warm cozy atmosphere. We will definitely go back again if we ever travel to that part of the world again. Many thanks to Sophie (the owner) who received us so kindly.

Salig, rustig en stil met mooi uitsig. Alles is daar wat benodig word.

Plekkie betyds beskikbaar. Skoon, netjies en agtermekaar. Baie ekstra klein dingetjies wat saak maak - soos handeseep, skottelgoedseep, hout vir kaggel, lugverfrisser wat lekker ruik, haardroër, tweepuntproppe, ens. Te veel om op te noem. Ons sal beslis Berghaven aanbeveel en weer daarvan gebruik maak in die toekoms. Baie dankie.

Verblyf was perfek en eienaars was ongelooflik behulpsaam nadat ons motor probleme ondervind het en hul ons kom help het 10 uur die aand.

Ek kan met groot gemak Berghaven aanbeveel. Die huis was goed ingerig met alle nodige toerusting en nabygeleë winkels. Eienaar en haar man het uit hul pad gegaan om ons behulpsaam te wees tydens motor probleme wat ons 50 km van Berghaven gelaat het. Verblyf is waarde vir geld.

Dit is 'n netjiese en gerieflike selfsorg-gastehuis wat jou alles en nog meer bied.

Ons was aangenaam verras met Berghaven se kwaliteit van verblyf asook Sophie se vriendelikheid en hulpvaardigheid. Dit is werklik waarde vir jou geld. Netjies, skoon en gerieflik. Ons was in die winter daar, maar was knus, beskut teen die koue met 'n kaggel waarvoor hout voorsien is, verwarmers in elke vertrek asook elektriese komberse op die beddens. Ek sal verseker weer daar gaan bly.

We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of Berghaven's accommodation as well as Sophie's friendliness and helpfulness. It truly is value for your money. Neat, clean and comfortable. We were there during winter but it was cosy, sheltered from the cold with a fireplace for which they provided wood, heaters in every room as well as electric blankets on the beds. I will definitely stay there again.

Filthy, unpractical, unpleasant.

After having toured SA for 3 weeks I dare say that this was our worst experience. Place was filthy, showers were so dirty one should not use them. The wash basin had traces of toothpaste from previous visitors. The bar stools could not be used unless one moved the 2 settees. Definately no value for money.

Berghaven Log Cabin 's response

I am so sorry to hear you experienced the problems above. There is no excuse for cleanliness and I will be taking this up to ensure this does not happen again. I appreciate you letting me know so that I can ensure this is rectified. We will also move the settee so that the bar stools can be used without the guests having to do this. I do hope you enjoyed your time in South Africa, and that you enjoyed other aspects of your holiday.

We had a horrifying experience in an unsecured easily accesible guest house ever.

Berghaven management is not hospitable. Upon arrival we were welcomed by a noise coming from the room downstairs (boys and girls visiting Mavis who lives there). We were not provided with relevant information necessary such as how to operate the alarm system. We were exposed to danger as young boys from the neighborhood could access the property and even get to our door without any trouble. The owner (Cary Walker) could not even understand our request for an iron and the board.

Berghaven Log Cabin 's response

I am sorry that Berghaven was not what you expected. I feel requesting an iron and ironing board at 11am on Christmas morning was unreasonable, especially when I said there was no housekeeping provided on Christmas day. I did mention that I would arrange one for you on 26 December, and get Mavis to iron your clothes. We do not provide iron and ironing board for guests, and it is also not mentioned on the listing that it is provided. I fully understood your request, but felt it was unfair to ask my staff to return to work to get the iron and ironing board for you on the day they had off to spend with their families.

I was not aware of children being in Mavis's room, and this is strictly not allowed. I would have appreciated you telling me this then so I could have spoken to her right away. I have spoken to her with regards to this, and she does deny anyone being in her room.

With regards to security, we do have a gate leading into the property, and I will get a padlock to lock it. The area is fully fenced. I understood someone came to the property with regards to enquiring about a car that had broken down on the road outside, but do not feel that is a security issue.

I will be taking your points seriously, and will definitely be getting a padlock for the gate to make guests feel a bit more secure. The alarm is in working order, and is easy to operate as the remote is given to you with the set of keys. There is no need to set it at night, but if you feel safer doing this you are more than welcome to do this. Mavis is there to show you how to work it, if you had asked she would have shown you. We do only use the alarm when there are no guests staying there.

I am terribly sorry your experience was not what you wanted, but we did try our best to make it as comfortable and safe for you as possible. It would have helped if you notified us of the issues so we could have rectified it during your stay.

Beslis die moeite werd.

Ons is vriendelik ontvang. Die plek is silwerskoon. Ons het lekker oornag. 'n Groot aanwins is die Spar-winkelsentrum wat loopafstand is.

Definitely worth it.

We were kindly received. The place is spotlessly clean. We had a nice overnight stay. A great asset is the Spar shopping center which is within walking distance.

Verblyf was kort en ons was min by die woning, maar andersins uitstekend.

Die woning was goed versorg! Die handdoeke word nie verskaf nie, so gaste moet dit saambring.

Stay was short and we were little at the residence, but otherwise excellent.

The home was well maintained! Towels are not provided, so guests must bring their own.

Such a beautiful, quaint place.

Absolutely stunning log cabin that is so beautifully cleaned! The bedrooms look amazing, with the bed decked out in beautiful, clean linen. Only hiccup was that I was unaware there were no towels supplied. Other than that, this is an absolutely lovely, good location.

'n Pragtige eenheid!

Het gemis dat daar nie net 'n paar koffie- en teesakkies, suiker en melk was nie. Dit is altyd lekker as 'n mens moeg by die bestemming aankom om dadelik net 'n koffietjie te kan drink.

A beautiful unit!

Missed that there was not only some coffee and tea bags, sugar and milk. It's always nice when you arrive at your destination tired to be able to drink a little coffee right away.
