Very satisfied with our stay. Everything was perfect!

What an amazing stay! The atmosphere was peaceful and rejuvenating, exactly what we were looking for. The rooms were tidy and comfortable with a unique charm, with everything we needed. We enjoyed the braai area a lot and they even provided us with all the necessary braai utensils. The host was very friendly and attentive, ensuring we had a pleasant stay. Will definitely book here again.

Dit was 'n baie mooi plek, maar die waterprobleme het dit onaangenaam gemaak.

Nee. Daar was geen water beskikbaar na 12 in ons kamer. Die waterdruk was ook die hele tyd baie swak en mens kon amper glad nie stort nie. Die toilet wou nie altyd spoel nie a.g.v. die min water wat beskikbaar was. Die badkamer wasbak het ook minimaal gewerk en kon glad nie gebruik word nie, a.g.v. die swak waterdruk. Beslis nie die prys werd vir ons nie.

It was a very beautiful place, but the water problems made it unpleasant.

No. There was no water available after 12 in our room. The water pressure was also very weak the whole time and you could hardly take a shower at all. The toilet didn't always want to flush because the little water that was available. The bathroom sink also worked minimally and could not be used at all, due to the weak water pressure. Definitely not worth the price for us.

Hallo Vincent.
Dit is jammer dat jy ons nie persoonlik bewus gemaak het hiervan nie. Soms doen die water versagter 'n "reboot" na middernag. Jammer vir jou ongerief. Indien ons geweet het, kon ons iets daaraan doen of vergoed daarvoor.
Beste groete

Dit was nie wat ons verwag het nie.

Ons het nie die kamer wat ons bespreek het gekry nie. Dit het darem 'n dubbelbed gehad maar was beslis vir een gas. Net een stel handdoeke, koffie, ens. Sy het wel later die aand vir ons nog handdoeke, ens gebring.

It was not what we expected.

We didn't get the room we booked. At least it had a double bed but was definitely for one guest. Just one set of towels, coffee, etc. She did bring us more towels, etc later that evening.

Beste Marietjie

Ons vra opreg om verskoning. Daar was 'n mediese noodgeval. My man het gevolglik 2 kamernommers omgeruil.

Jammer vir julle ongerief.

Vriendelike groete

Not happy at all.

Unfortunately, I can't give good ratings. The hostess wanted to change my room before booking in, she also mentioned to my club members that because I did not want to change rooms, she lost a huge booking. There is also no duvet in the rooms, only a blanket on the bed. I was also contacted by her regarding other units' breakages that she assumed I was a part of, she was rude and unfriendly. The beds are hard and uncomfortable. There are a lot of mosquitoes, so pack Tabbard.

Birdsview Guesthouse 's response

It's very unfortunate that her experience was negative. Many new guests don't know that block B and block A are two buildings apart from each other. Most guests appreciate not being separated from their friends or family. Firstly, I tried to place them in the same building and secondly, I informed her via WhatsApp that we can perhaps move her to a room that sleeps three as there's another group requesting the large family room which can sleep five. Her team members later questioned why I asked her if we could swap her room. I was told she can be a challenging individual.
We previously asked many guests if they preferred not to have duvets in the summer as we often found them discarded on cupboards, chairs, or the floor. 98% of guests didn't want duvets. She requested a duvet after hours and it wasn't immediately available. Every guest has three blankets available of varying thickness.
After finding many broken plates and glasses, I saw she was the only person around at the time, so I asked her in a friendly manner if she knew or had heard anything about it. She responded that it was the group from another province.
We were also disappointed to find her room smelling of cigarette smoke.
We always strive to be friendly and respectful. After sunset, I walk around the grounds and ask guests to mind the open doors due to the occasional mosquitoes.
We apologise for the misunderstanding.

It was an awesome stay and we all loved the place.

The only problem was that there was very little water pressure in the upstairs units. The water or kettle, I'm not sure what the problem was, but it curdled the coffee.
