Salig, luuks en sommer net lekker!

As ek kon, sou ek Biesiespoort 10 sterre gegee het! Ons is hartlik ontvang en die gasheer het dadelik 'n plan gemaak toe ons (te laat) besef ons gaan nie iets te ete in Loxton kan koop nie. Daar is soveel aandag aan detail gegee. Top gehalte linne, eetgerei, dekor, geurkerse, ens. Selfs vars blomme in die huis. Die huis het alle verwagtings oortref en die rustigheid op die plaas was voorwaar net wat ons nodig het om van alle stres ontslae te raak. Wens ons kon nog langer daar bly.

Blissful, luxurious and simply delicious!

If I could, I would give Biesiespoort 10 stars! We were warmly received and the host immediately made a plan when we realized (too late) that we were not going to be able to buy anything to eat in Loxton. There was so much attention to detail. Top quality linen, cutlery, decor, scented candles, etc. Even fresh flowers in the house. The house exceeded all expectations and the tranquility on the farm was truly just what we needed to get rid of all stress. Wish we could stay there even longer.

Sielsverkwikkend. Bederf.

Hierdie verblyf was vir ons die heel beste wat ons ooit gehad het. Hoekom? Die grootte van die huis, die fasiliteite, die liefde waarmee alles gedoen is, die diepe bedagsaamheid waarmee alles gedoen is van die ontvangs tot by die dekor en die fasiliteite (bv. die sterk flitsliggies langs die kaggel in die voorportaal!) het ons heeltemal oorweldig en stomgeslaan. Kon die spasie en netheid en smaakvolheid nie glo nie. Die stilte was 'n berusting vir die siel en 'n lafenis na 'n vermoeiende vakansie. Ons was net twee mense en het nie die boonste verdieping se kamers gebruik nie. Ons wou graag nog 'n nag bly, maar daar was gaste wat bespreek was vir die volgende aand ongelukkig. Ons sal weer hier kom oorslaap - enige tyd as ons kan.

Soul invigorating. Spoil.

This accommodation was for us the very best we have ever had. Why? The size of the house, the facilities, the love with which everything was done, the deep thoughtfulness with which everything was done from the reception to the decor and the facilities (eg the strong flashlights next to the fireplace in the lobby!) we completely overwhelmed and dumbfounded. Couldn't believe the space and cleanliness and tastefulness. The silence was a rest for the soul and a respite after a tiring holiday. We were only two people and did not use the upstairs rooms. We would have liked to stay another night, but unfortunately there were guests booked for the next night. We will stay here again - anytime if we can.

Biesiespoort het die mooiste grasie en hartlike liefde van die Karoo.

Biesiespoort het ons hartlik ontvang met gasvryheid. Die akkommodasie bied home away from home - alles wat jy nodig het en nog meer! Ons het gesmul aan die lekkerste tuisgemaakte skaapwors, chops en potbrood. Ons het die voorreg gehad om betyds te wees vir die lamseisoen wat die kinders hoogs geamuseer het. Die nag het ons met asemrowende sterre beklink. So 'n mooi plek. Ons gaan definitief dit ons gereelde stop maak tussen JHB en Kaap.

Biesiespoort received us warmly with hospitality. The accommodation offers home away from home - everything you need and more! We feasted on the most delicious homemade mutton sausage, chops and pot bread. We had the privilege of being in time for the lambing season which greatly amused the children. The night ended with breathtaking stars. Such a beautiful place. We will definitely make this our regular stop between JHB and the Cape.

Loxton gasvryheid op sy beste. Biesiespoort is asembenemend mooi en rustig.

Biesiespoort is 'n pragtige nostalgiese afpakplek wat onlangs nuut opgeknap is, met 'n vergrote toegeboude kuierstoep en braaigeriewe vir die bobaas braaier. Die dekor en algehele gebruiksgemak is fantasties en alle gerieflikhede en ekstras is beskikbaar. Die fraaie Karoodorpie Loxton is 'n klipgooi weg. Hanneke is 'n uitstekende gasvrou wat altyd beskikbaar is om te help of raad te gee oor die dorp en omgewing. Moenie hierdie pragtige plek verbyry nie.

Loxton hospitality at its finest. Biesiespoort is breathtakingly beautiful and peaceful.

Biesiespoort is a beautiful nostalgic drop-off location that has recently been newly renovated, with an enlarged enclosed patio and braai facilities for the boss braaier. The decor and overall ease of use is fantastic and all conveniences and extras are available. The beautiful Karo village of Loxton is a stone's throw away. Hanneke is an excellent hostess who is always available to help or give advice about the town and surroundings. Do not pass this beautiful place.

Ek sal tog die volgende aanbeveel: 'n sakkie hout en blitz. Oorweeg 'n toilet op boonste vloer.

"All in one" akkommodasie met baie ruimte vir beweging na 'n lang dag op die pad.

Ons het net een nag oorgeslaap, maar alles in die huis was voldoende en in goeie werkende toestand. Lannice het ons sommer van vroegdag voor ons aankoms welkom laat voel via WhatsApp en ook baie vriendelik ontvang toe ons daar aankom. Kan dit enige tyd vir 'n gesin met kinders aanbeveel. Kan wel een voorstel maak - omskep sitkamer in 'n 3de slaapkamer vir daardie persoon wat nie in staat is om trappe te klim nie.

"All in one" accommodation with plenty of room for movement after a long day on the road.

We only stayed one night, but everything in the house was adequate and in good working order. Lannice made us feel welcome from the early morning before our arrival via WhatsApp and also received us very kindly when we arrived. Can recommend it anytime for a family with kids. Can make one suggestion - convert living room into a 3rd bedroom for that person who is unable to climb stairs.

Very old and dirty.

Very old and dirty. No possible to close the main door with the key.

Biesiespoort Guesthouse 's response

Hi Alice, I am so sorry to hear that you are so disappointed. I personally checked everything before you came and made sure that everything is clean and neat. The only thing out of my control, is the porch which we clean several times a day before guests check in. As it is on a farm with a lot of trees, we do struggle with the leaves that fall down. Again, I am very sorry.
I honestly thought from your comments when you were here that you were very happy. I would have attended to any matter that bothered you if I had known.

Pragtige plaasverblyf.

Baie netjies, mooi gemeubileer, op 'n pragtige plaaswerf. Baie ruim. Die trappies na die eerste verdieping sal bietjie te styl wees vir 'n persoon wat nie heel mobiel is nie.

Salig.

Dit was 'n pragtige, goed toegeruste huis. Ons het heerlik daar gebly. Baie mooi skoon en netjies, beddens was goeie kwaliteit en baie gemaklik. Die trappe kan dalk bietjie moeilik wees vir ouer mense. Ons was vriendelik verwelkom en sal dit vir enige iemand aanbeveel.

The stairs for children and the elderly are dangerous in the house.

Porches by front door were very dirty and full of felt manure and leaves. We had to scramble around to get our hands on a braai drum/convenience, because it was loadshedding. No litter in rooms. Asked for double bed in other room with reservation, which was never done. Was very disappointing. No salad bowls. Rooms and bathroom were clean and beds were in good condition and neatly covered.

Host appeared to be disinterested in hospitality.

Possibly a converted farm building (sheep shearing). Bedrooms upstairs, toilet downstairs. tricky staircase to navigate, unsuitable for older guests, especially during load shedding. Three candles and no matches were supplied in case of load shedding, which did occur. No water after 20:30; after asking for water in the morning, water was pumped into the tank. We are campers and also have stayed in many guest cottages, so are accustomed to rustic accommodation. This is not what we expected after a long day of travel.

Biesiespoort Guesthouse 's response

Hi there,
I am very sorry that you had such a terrible time at Biesiespoort.
Like I had explained that day, the guesthouse is part of the original farm building and yes, it is quite a few years old. It was never used as a shearing shed, but as an house, and office and for many years as an guesthouse where my mother in law have had very happy guests for years.
As I explained about the water, with load-shedding on such a high schedule at that time the water pumps cannot keep up with keeping the reservoirs full. As in the description, this is a fully operating farm so there are many places, people and animals in need of water. I really always try my utmost best to make sure that the guesthouse is first priority when it comes to having water. This is the first time this year that this has happened. Must just unfortunately have been Murphy’s law, I really do apologise and if I had know 20:30 I would have attend to the matter as soon as loadshedding was over at 22:00

Also, in the description it is clearly stated about the stairs and bedrooms being on the second floor.

I also personally handed you the matches needed for the candles. There are 5 candles available to be exact. Both down- and upstairs.
LED lights has also been placed in the guesthouse since.

Again, I apologise for the bad luck you had at Biesiespoort.

I can guarantee this is not the standard, as I have hosted many guests that were very happy with the accommodation provided.

Stay safe
