Netjies, geen tierlantyntjies, goeie waarde vir geld.

Effe ver van Hoedspruit, maar steeds goed geleë om die omgewing te verken!

Fantastiese vriendelike diens.

Die plekkies is baie oulik ingerig, als wat mens nodig het. Jaco en sy moeder het ons baie tuis laat voel en uit hul pad gegaan om aan al ons behoeftes te voldoen. Sal aan enigeen aanbeveel om daar te gaan bly.

Baie dankie vir 'n aangename verblyf oor Paasnaweek. Ons sal beslis weer daar gaan ontspan. Heerlike ontspanne atmosfeer en boomryk.

'n Aangename en gemaklike ervaring.

Baie aangenaam en gemaklike ervaring. Alles het vlot afgeloop. Kliëntediens was goed en ons is uiters goed behandel terwyl die eienaars weg was en geen oog kon gooi op gebeure nie. Die personeel het baie goed opgetree. My enigste pyn was ontbyt en die spoed daarvan die oggend toe ons wil vertrek. Die ontbyt was stadig en ons kon vroëer gewaarsku wees. Ons bestellings kon maar die vorige aand geneem word.

A pleasant and comfortable experience.

Very pleasant and comfortable experience. Everything went smoothly. Customer service was good and we were treated extremely well while the owners were away and could not keep an eye on events. The staff behaved very well. My only pain was breakfast and the rush of it in the morning when we want to leave. The breakfast was slow and we could have been warned earlier. Our orders could only be taken the night before.

The rooms are not to the standard of the price.

Full of mosquitoes, towels not changed daily. The cleaning was only done 1 day. I feel I wasted or was robbed for the price that I paid. Owner is very welcoming and professional. Will never book there again. Cleanliness very bad. Towels not changed on a daily basis. Pool was dirty. No light at the pool area. Will never book or recommend any of my friends there.

Die eenheid was lieflik, ruim en privaat!

Alhoewel die verblyf perfek was, was dit ongelukkig nie baie lekker nie a.g.v. baie harde musiek wat heelnag op die perseel langsaan gespeel was elke aand. Dit was ontsettend frustrerend, veral omdat my man in die Vets Tour Cycle Race by Swadini deelgeneem en en bitter min rus kon kry. Ek het die 2de aand vir die eienaar gevra of hy die bure kan kontak maar hy het gesê daar is niks wat hy daaromtrent kan doen nie.

The unit was lovely, spacious and private!

Even though the accommodation was perfect it was not very nice because of the loud music throughout the night next door, every night. It was so frustrating, expecially since my husband took part in the Vets Tour Cycle Race at Swadinie and got very little rest. The 2nd night I asked the owner to call the neighbours but he said there was nothing he could do about it.

Dankie vir die positiewe gedeelte van die boodskap. Hoop u maak weer van ons akkommodasie in die toekoms gebruik.

Wil net weer u aandag terugbring na die boodskap wat u om 20h00 die aand van 17/6/2017 aan my gestuur het met die versoek dat die "bure" gevra moet word om aub hul musiek sagter te stel sodat u man kan rus vir die fietswedren waaraan hy deel geneem het.

Ek het u om 20h19, volgens my foon data, geskakakel. Ek stem saam dat ek aan u gese het dat ek ongelukkig niks aan die aangeleentheid kon doen nie aangesien die musiek vanaf `n ander woonbuurt ongeveer 4 kilometer van ons eenhede afkomstig was en dit dus nie vir my moontlik en buite my beheer was om enigsins op te tree.
Van ons ander gaste wat in die eenheid langs u was het my ook gekontak en die selfde verduideliking was aan hulle verskaf.
Ek kan u verseker indien dit binne my vermoe was om op te tree sou ek beslis iets aan die situasie gedoen het.

Groete en hoop u man het die wedren suksesvol voltooi.

Een mooie lokatie, een mooi huis in een prachtige tuin, met heel lieve eigenaren. We zijn geweldig ontvangen en hebben heerlijk geslapen en heerlijk gegeten. En intussen ook nog heel veel over het land geleerd. Blue Cottages is wat ons betreft een aanrader!

Sleg.

Ons sal dit nie aanbeveel nie. Hulle hou rekords van telefoniese gespekke indien versoeke geplaas word, maar hulle het vir ons gejok oor die foon. Ons rondawel staan apart van die badkamer. Ons het versoek om alles in een rondawel te hê voordat ons besluit het om die plek te kies, asook aandete. Telefonies is daar gevra of daar 'n eetplek of restaurant was aangesien ons ver ry en geen kos saambring nie. Ons was verseker dat daar is. Met ons aankoms het die eienaar die restaurant gesluit. Verder was daar ou verbleikte handdoeke op die bed. Die kamer beskik oor minimum geriewe. Daar was ook spinnekoppe en spinnerakke bo in die dak en bo die bed.

Bad.

We would not recommend it. They keep records of phone conversations if requests are made, but they lied to us over the phone. Our rondavel is separate from the bathroom. We requested to have everything in one rondavel before we decided to choose the place, as well as dinner. On the phone, they asked if there was a place to eat or a restaurant as we were driving far and did not bring any food with us. We were assured that there is. Upon our arrival, the owner closed the restaurant. Furthermore, there were old faded towels on the bed. The room has minimum amenities. There were also spiders and cobwebs up in the roof and above the bed.

Ons was gasvry ontvang deur Tertia en Tony en ons het lekker gekuier.

Ek sal definitief die Blue Cottage aanbeveel vir my vriende. Ek sal self ook weer in die toekoms daar gaan kuier. Ek stel voor dat 'n sekuriteitwag van 18:00 tot 07:00 deur die nag die rondawels en voertuigparkering patroleer, net om gaste bewus te maak daar word pro-aktief na hulle veiligheid gekyk.
