I just overslept.
Everything I needed was there. The hostess was also very helpful. The room was only cool, but the air conditioning solved the problem. There was load shedding, but with a lamp it was no problem either. I will definitely stay there again.

Warm en koud.
This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.
Hot and cold.
I was without hot water for 2 nights and when I finally got hot water, it was difficult to get the right shower temperature. It was a struggle to find the right temperature - either you burn yourself red or you freeze. It was said they would turn on the generator for the last hour of load shedding, but that never happened. I slept there for 4 nights.

Average, it's opposite a a backyard mechanic so the street looks like a scrap yard. There is no provision for loadshedding at all. The gate has a lock and chain, so you have to get out of your car on the street to unlock and open the gates. All in all not very safe.
Cathy's Guest House 's response
Dear Brendan,
We apologise for the inconvenience caused to you. We cannot take responsibility for any businesses in the street.
The street does not resemble a scrapyard. It is a newly done and in a very good condition with no potholes etc. The gate is an antique one with a lock and chain and the building was built in the late 1800s. The area is also very safe. I wonder if it is so difficult to get out of your car to open a gate. We have a generator for load shedding. We only use the generator at certain times in the evening and mornings. If you had any problems, you could have contacted us so we could attend to your problem.

Hallo Johan
Dankie vir die terugvoering. Ons waardeer dit.
In die kamers is wel vloeibare seep. Ons voorsien nie shampoo of beskuit nie, want dan sal ons pryse baie duurder moet wees. Ons adverteer ook glad nie daardie geriewe nie, met ander woorde is dit nie ons fout as julle nie daarvan geweet het nie.

Stopover on journey to Pretoria.
Although the guesthouse was clean and tidy and adequate for someone looking for a place to stay, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, simply because I think there are better guesthouses in town for a similar price. Parking is also very small and problematic if there is more than one vehicle.

We slept nice and warm with a nice warm electric blanket that was already on for us despite the cold. Everything was clean and tidy. Didn't need anything more. Would only recommend a shower door instead of the curtain. But otherwise experience no problems. Can be recommended for overnight stays.

The room was very cramped and cramped, with no window, so we had to leave the door open to get fresh air. Was bloody hot, fan noisy.
Very friendly welcome. Was neat, but cramped. Couldn't sleep with fan on. Felt unsafe with door open, despite security gate. It was the garage that was converted into a room and bathroom.

Comfortable, clean, cheerful, eccentric and homely.
It's a lovely place to stay for a smaller group of guests. The braai area is comfortable and the small pool was refreshing and inviting. I would like bath mats instead of towel as a bath mat, and since it's self-catering, I just wish there were better guidelines on how the dishes work. It is all washed and cleaned. Drying cloth or 2 in the room could help (sometimes you use all the cups, want to rinse them and then need a drying cloth). Small hand soaps in the bathroom would also be good. Otherwise really a very friendly environment. The communal garden is lovely and so well looked after.

Hello Christene
Baie dankie vir jou resensie. Ek wil net onder jou aandag bring dat my gastehuis nie 'n selfsorg eenheid is nie. Skottelgoed word deur ons self gedoen. Daarom dat daar nie geriewe vir skottelgoed in die kamers is nie.
Badkamer matjies is vol kieme omdat dit nie elke dag gewas kan word nie daarom word daar handdoeke beskikbaar gestel om by die bad te sit.
Seep word verskaf in die botteltjies wat op die wasbakke geplaas word.
