The host is friendly and helpful, but the guest room is not quite up to standard.
Arriving in the rain we had to walk through wet soaked lawn to get to the guest room. It's a very old building with plank floors. It was previously a business building whose safe was converted into the kitchen (without) windows. The sink is in the corridor whose water tap is not working; Water had to be brought from the bathroom. The shower in the bathroom did not spray effectively. The only plus was the Jacuzzi tub in the second bedroom. The rates are too high when compared to the standard of other guesthouses.

Beste Dawid,
Dankie weereens vir jul ondersteuning en jammer vir enige ongerief wat julle hier ervaar het.
Jul het ongelukkig in die reen hier aangekom en voor jul aankoms het dit ook heel week gereen, wat vir Zastron ongewoon is. Jammer.
Gebou is oud met heelwat geskiedenis en is daar sekere vertrekke wat nog plankvloere het.
Jul eenheid het geen plankvloere nie.
Die oorspronklike kombuis het ek in n groot badkamer omskep. Met die indeel van wooneenhede was die brandkluis die enigste geskikte plek vir die eenheid om as spens/kombuis te gebruik. Aangesien n brandkluis se mure versterk word, en omdat Min tyd daar spandeer word het ek nie die regte nut gesien van n venster nie.
Die wasbak is nie in die deurloop gang nie maar op die punt waar die kombuis is, juis ook agv die versterkte brandkluis mure.
Die wasbak is slegs vir ketelwater en skoonmaak vir bediende. Jammer, ek het intussen die siffie skoongemaak en werk hy nou normaal. Dankie.
Die stort het ek getoets en volgens my opinie werk hy reg en normaal. Wat dalk kon gebeur het is dat daar 4 krane daar gekoppel is : warm/koud en dan aparte 1 vir die stort en aparte 1 vir die bad. Miskien was van die krane nie ordentlik oop nie. Die ander alternatief is dat die munisipale water dalk af was, soos 90% van die tyd. Ek het wel n generator wat die hele gebou met ligte en water en TVs voorsien, sowel as n eie water reservoir met eie pomp, wat outomaties aanskakel volgens die drukking. Kan wees dat daar ander mense ook water op dieselfde tyd dalk gebruik het, wat die drukking kon verlaag. Jammer, as ek bewus gemaak was daarvan sou ek n plan kon maak.
Wat ons tariewe aanbetref, is ons heelwat laer as enige ander gastehuis in Zastron, maar dit is julle opinie wat ek respekteer.
Wens jul 'n Geseende 2022 toe.
Vriendelike groete
Sakkie

Was a nice experience
Sakkie helped me from the beginning with everything I needed until moving the date of our stay with ease. We had a very nice stay with a nice hot bath and lovely bed. The girls really enjoyed the jacuzzi tub. Thank you Sakkie for making us feel so welcome. I can certainly recommend Bly en Gly to anyone, you will experience the best hospitality.

Beste Anca,
Dit was net n voorreg om mense soos julle te ontmoet en was julle geen moeite nie.
Baie dankie vir die uitsonderlike goeie kommentaar, word hoogs waardeer.
Soos ek al vir ander mense gese het, ou pel van my wat al oorlede is, het altyd gese :
Dis lekker om mens te wees, solank jy n lekker mens is, en sorteer julle onder hulle.
Geseende 2022 vir julle, mag als wat goed is oor julle paaie kom.

Something else.
If you want to experience something different this is the place. The host went out of his way to make us feel at home, but unfortunately the facility is not up to standard. The shower facilities are battered and look like they have been plastered over. If one is used to a certain standard, you just have to squint your eyes at the interior decorations and enjoy the country hospitality.

Was very nice and we Eastern Cape people at least saw rain.
Sakkie is a very nice guy, he went to show us our room when we arrived in the rain. Made us feel at ease and at home and explained where the places to eat were. Invited us up for a shell. They went out of their way to make it pleasant for us after a long journey. Keep up the good work Sakkie, you're bak-ass people.

Voel of ek die Lotto gewen het toe ek julle "review" lees ! Vreeslik dankie , my ou hart klop nou 50/55 soos ou Tolla altyd gese het. Dit was nog in die ou dae toe daai spoed gevaarlik begin raak het vir voertuie. Ou vriend van my al oorlede het gesegde gehad, dis lekker om mens te wees as jy n lekker mens is, en weereens baie dankie vir julle vriendelike woorde en was dit vir ons n voorreg om jul te ontmoet en effe kon leer ken.

Thank you for your valued response. Pardon the afrikaans: "Dis lekker om mens te wees solank jy 'n lekker mens is", and it was great to meet people like you. Thank you for payment received.

Very interesting décor.
Was an interesting overnight stay. Poverty is rife in the whole town and the people do their best under the circumstances.

Putstop Sportsbar has been away from the residential area for guests at Bly & Gly Guesthouse, and no longer pose a nuisance to guests.
The Sportsbar was in place before the Guesthouse was developed. With our rates being the best in town, the Sportsbar was actually the only problem guests experienced with our facilities.
Give us another try and then present your remarks again.
Thank you to Chris for their review.
Kind regards,
Sakkie Potgieter, Owner.

Noisy no-rest "sleepover" place.
Disappointing to say the least. Rooms and facilities need a drastic renovation. Worst of all, however, the bar of the guest house appears to be the local night club/hangout of the community. No warnings in advance on the website, but upon our arrival we notice warnings of loud music that sometimes "may" go on until 02:00 at night... and that's exactly what happens to us. Loud music, dancing, cheering and "singing together" until 02h00 is our wonderful background music while we are tired trying to rest on our long trek to the sea! Glide past this pit stop instead!

Beste Riaan en familie,
Ons webtuiste meld wel dat ons Putstop Sportsbar op perseel is. Verder meld u dat u waarskuwings op ons perseel opgemerk het van harde musiek tot 02h00 wat mag aangaan. Ons het nie enige sulke waarskuwings op ons perseel nie. Enigste kennisgewing wat ons wel op het, is dat Putstop tot 02h00 mag oopwees wat ons dranklisensie toelaat.
Nietemin vra ek nederig om verskoning dat ons gastehuis nie aan u en u familie se vereistes/behoeftes voldoen het nie. Wat die harde musiek/lawaai aanbetref vra ek ook verskoning, daar was 'n jaareindfunksie wat dalk bietjie oordrewe was. Normaalweg vra ek my huurder van Putstop om gaste in ag te neem met harde musiek, maar duidelik volgens u het dit daardie aand nie gebeur nie. My apologie weereens, en sal die probleem aangespreek word.
Items waarmee u ontevrede was rondom gastehuis self, sal ons aandag geniet.
Ons bid u 'n Geseende 2018 toe.
Vriendelike groete,
Sakkie en Loraine - Bly & Gly Guesthouse

Beste Wynand,
Tot op hede het u geen persoonlike melding teenoor my gemaak oor enige griewe of probleme wat u tydens u verblyf hier ondervind het nie, en ek was by met u aankoms sowel as u vertrek.
Indien u my n tyd gee wat vir u gerieflik is, sal ek u met graagte bel, sodat u die geleentheid het om u griewe te lig. Ons strewe om ons gaste waarde vir geld aan te bied, maar kan nie verbeter indien gaste ons nie inlig van hul griewenie.
Vriendelike Groete,
Sakkie Potgieter
