Wonderfully comfortable and cuddly.
Really nice stay! We were three couples sharing the main house (each couple in their own room) and three teenage boys sharing the cottage. There was enough space for everyone to stay comfortably, a well-equipped kitchen with all the necessities and everything was nice and clean. The only difficulty we had was beyond anyone's control, and that was the inclement weather! The house has enough heating, so we were nice and warm. We just couldn't use the braai during the rain.

Great visit. Nice private, very nice place.
The bed mattresses are truly done. They can think about replacing it. Other than that it was delicious. Very nice people and the location is very convenient. The garden is beautiful. Lovely clean white cotton linen, which is always important to me. There is a lack of dishcloths, and a pair of scissors in the kitchen.

Mooi stone cottage, geen sekuriteit, musiek op volume van eienaars.

Nice stone cottage, no security, music on volume from owners.
The security is a problem - there is none during the day. In the evening a "beam" is put on, not sure what time and if it is effective. Basically anyone can walk into the yard — no fence. The anti-theft system is very weak. This means you cannot comfortably sit outside or keep the door open during the day. For a single traveler, this is a problem. The 4/5 rating on website is misleading. I would think twice about trusting them again, it gives a poor impression of the website's ability to evaluate security. The owners play their music at full volume which doesn't work. I'm sure if I do there will be problems. Opera at 8 o'clock in the morning doesn't work for me (even though I like opera). The parking is difficult to enter or exit. They need to better control the other people who park badly and make it harder to get out. Then they park the Fortruner right in front of the garage that you only see when you come around the corner, and then you have to drive even better. Not a holiday feeling.

Alle potensiële gaste sal dadelik sien Annelies se klaerige negatiewe oorsig steek soos 'n seer duim uit en verskil hemelsbreed van al die ander. Sy sien dit seker self ook. Ek waardeer en aanvaar wanneer gaste opbouende en regverdige kritiek lewer, maar in hierdie geval moet ek egter verdedigend reageer.
1. Met haar aankoms wou ons haar inlig aangaande die 'beams' maar sy het dit van die hand gewys en genoem dat sy weet hoe dit werk. Die 'beam' sisteem werk uitstekend en is baie veilig. Meeste gaste, selfs alleenreisigers, sit saans buite en geniet die sonsondergang. Die diefwering is ook splinternuut en baie stewig.
2. Ook met haar aankoms het ons haar 'n maklike parkering aangebied maar sy het dit ook van die hand gewys en gesê sy sal maklik kan parkeer. Die Fortuner is 'n groot wit voertuig, hoe kan sy dit nie raaksien nie? En daar was oorgenoeg spasie om gemaklik verby dit te ry. Ek vermoed sy het haar vererg aangaande die parkering situasie toe sy erg verward geraak het en agteruit in die blombedding bo-op die rotse beland het.
3. Ons kry dikwels groot groepe Italianers wat op die akkommodasie platform wat hulle gebruik merk dat my man 'n operasanger was en hulle wil dan tydens ontbyt na sy opnames luister, wat hulle geweldig geniet. Verskoon asb. maar dis hoekom hulle hier by Braeview bespreek en ons kannie die tradisie breek vir een klagte nie.
Groete, Erina de Jager

Dit was nie die beste. Die suite was baie netjies en skoon, behalwe vir die reuk.

It was not the best. The suite was very neat and clean, except for the smell.
On arrival Fanie received our things and after that we never saw the owners again. There was an unpleasant smell throughout the suite and it stuck to my clothes. I had to wash everything when I got home. Then the noise from the owners continued every night. There was chanting and chopping.

Nou waarom sal die twee munisipale werkers ons gereeld wil sien? Meeste gaste wil met rus gelaat word. En die oordrewe aanmerking aangaande 'n reuk in die eenheid. Hermanus se riool word weekliks weggekarwei met 'n suigwa. Dan is daar gewoonlik vir 20 minute 'n onaangename reuk, maar spoedig sorg die seebries dat dit verdwyn. Die persoon sou darem sekerlik in elk geval haar klere was met haar terugkeer? Die kappery was seker van die gebou langsaan waar hulle besig is met bouwerk. Die singery... sou sy eerder dat ons huil? Daar was werklik niks juis om oor te kla nie. Groete!

Disappointed.

Yes, I remember this unfortunate incident with Christie and we can only offer our sincere apology albeit a bit late. We tried our best to be back home in time to welcome them but got stuck in traffic because of roadworks. And coincidentally there was no cellphone signal in the area of the roadworks. As soon as we got the signal back we noticed that they had called. Erina immediately called them and apologized a few times during the conversation. Her apologies were accepted and she then explained where the key could be found. Some guests want to check themselves in for Covid safety reasons, we therefore have a safety box on the wall for the key. They went out for supper and left before sunrise the next morning before we could apologise personally. Yes, it was a very cold night but there's nothing wrong with the heaters and there are more than enough extra blankets in all the rooms. Regarding the low scores for cleanliness, location and security, it is only human for guests that are upset about something to give the guest house low scores on all the other categories that have nothing to do with the reason of their unhappiness. Kind regards, Braeview management

Koud en beknop.

Cold and cramped.
On the website it said room for 4 adults and the pictures looked spacious. When we found the place it was 4 single beds (2 together and 2 next to each other). Unlike a backpackers, you don't expect 4 people to sleep in 1 room. The single beds on top of each other were not in the photos. So it's false advertising. As a small family with a 1 year old baby, we always need 2 rooms, so it was a nightmare to get the baby to rest and we all had to go to sleep immediately.
