Homely comfort.
I really enjoyed my stay between jasmine scents and a beautiful garden. Everything is provided to bring comfort: soap, cream, shampoo, shower gel, plenty of towels, WiFi, pillows, bed etc. The patio was very nice and private and I felt very safe throughout. Would definitely recommend.

Hi Suzanne
The garden is our greatest joy, particularly in spring with all the flowers in full bloom and the perfumes emerging at sundown. We're glad you enjoyed them!
Thank you for choosing us and we hope you return again soon!

Hi Leoni
My most humble apologies, but I don't recall you asking for a fan. It would have been forthcoming.
We do try to cater for the international market, and they appreciate the "African" decor.
We use the four elements as our theme, and it has stood the test of time.
Thank you for staying with us and we hope to see you again.
Warm regards

Nice and quiet.
We had a nice stay. The hostess was friendly. Power creates problems. We would recommend that the owner/s take effective measures for adequate electricity during load shedding.

Hi Philip,
I'm so sorry you had to experience the power outages we have in Johannesburg.
We do have a generator, but try to run it as little as possible to keep the noise level down to a minimum.
I don't know which is the better of two evils - no power, but peace and quiet, or power and noise from a generator going full blast. I know which I choose.
You enjoyed your stay in spite of it, and we hope to see you back again soon.
Regards Ron & Marelyn

'n Ou, afgeleefde, ongeliefde gastehuis.
This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.
An old, run-down, unloved guest house.
Already upon receipt, the unnecessaryness was clear with outdated forms full of Covid regulations. Still in 2023? Room dark and dusty, tiny, old TV with 5 football channels and no rugby channel, one teaspoon, no glasses and open coffee, sugar and Cremora. Unhygienic. Well a good bed and linen. Hope that the house, with its beautiful porch, will come to its senses again.

Die gebou is nie eens 20 jaar oud nie (gebou in 2006 betyds vir die 2010 Wêreldbeker-sokkertoernooi) en dit is beslis nie oud, vervalle of ongeliefd nie. Ons lieflike tradisionele Transvaalse 25m-"verandah" maak dit sterk beswaar om 'n "stoep" genoem te word!
Jy het jou misgis deurdat die Reëls en Regulasies wat jy vir COVID noem niks anders was nie as die Huisreëls, Ontbyt/Aandete en Dieetvereistes en die besprekingkansellasie en Bepalings en Voorwaardes.
Dit is jammer dat u op so kort kennisgewing bespreek het en 'n bietjie meer sorg moet geneem word om aan u verwagtinge te voldoen.
Ons vra wel om verskoning aan jou man dat hy sy rugby gemis het, maar die hotelboeket dek dit nie.
Dankie vir jou kompliment oor die beddens en linne... en ons kry dit steeds reg om warm water beskikbaar te hê ten spyte van kragonderbrekings, die kragopwekker hou meeste kere die ligte aan en die omskakelaar hou die Wi-Fi beskikbaar. Wat meer kan ons vra!
Ons wens jou sterkte toe en hoop dit gaan beter met jou in Tshwane!
Ons beste groete

Not what we expected. Could have been better.
Cherry Tree Cottage Linden B&B 's response
Thank you for your feedback, Peter.
Our B&B is owner-run run and the intercom is designed to find us at any time at strategic places on the property. As a result, there may be a delay in us opening up for you, as our security is a priority.
Breakfast is no longer included in the rate, but is rather an optional extra and is on request. We are finding many folks prefer room only, and usually take the opportunity to go out and meet with friends over breakfast.
I wish you had drawn our attention to the issues with regard to the glasses, mismatching spoons and lighting as they could have been resolved so easily.
We do not offer full self-catering facilities such as a kitchenette. We rather try to accommodate those who would like it, by bridging the gap and providing the tea and coffee station, fridge, microwave, and utensils for 2 for their convenience.
You were a last minute booking and I don't think we could even begin to compete with a wonderful holiday at a bush lodge.
Our warm regards.
Ron and Marelyn

Neat accommodation near Linden High School and Louw Geldenhuys Primary School, for our one-night stay to attend a function at this high school.
Marelyn welcomed us and showed us the room. Ron is the friendly "handyman" in the background. In the evening after the function, we could comfortably return to our room with our own gate monitor, without disturbing the hostess or other guests. We think Cherry Cottage offers welcome and safe overnight facilities, also for business travellers. We were also very grateful for secure undercover parking. We lived in Northcliff in the nineties, and our children were learners of the said schools. It was nice for us to be in the area again, attending the "Dirk Meerkotter 100" celebration. We got a pleasant feeling about the suburb of Linden. The streets were tidy, and many new businesses and restaurants were added.

Hi Zunelle
It is unfortunate that when you arrived, you were in such a hurry to get to an appointment at Wits, that you did not afford me the opportunity to come up to your expectations wrt professionalism and allowed me to give you a brief introduction to Cherry Tree Cottage and our facilities available...viz wifi, DSTV, electric blankets etc. You had booked selfcatering accommodation, and due to COVID, breakfast was optional and servicing limited to twice a week. We hope your conference in Pretoria went well.
Warm regards Marelyn & Ron Tyler

We stayed for 1 night and found the interesting decor very refreshing. I think they'll do better if they have two-point plugs in all unites. I also suggest that they make it more clear that breakfast isn't included.

Hi Jj
Thank you for taking the time to give us a review, we appreciate your feed back and we are glad you enjoyed your stay in Imvula.
I'm sorry you didn't find the two pin diamond plug points... I know they tend to get hidden behind the coffee&tea tray/ kettle/ microwave on the service counter.
All our units have a selection of plugs to choose from.
We have been in business since 1997 when we first started as a B&B, and back then breakfast was always included in the rate. But, the trend has more recently been to trim the rates where ever possible. So to enable folk to compare "apples with apples" we have moved with the times now to offer our accommodation as rather "limited self catering" with breakfast as an optional extra.
I have asked Lekkerslaap to check that the rate is displayed correctly on the site as room only, and that the confirmation letter does show that the rate is room only.
We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
Warm regards
Marelyn & Ron Tyler
