Wonderlik. Rustig.

Dit was wonderlik. Rustig. Mal oor hulle honde. Boonop het hulle honde ons honde dadelik aanvaar en lekker gespeel. Bruce is 'n baie aangename mens en 'n jack of all trades. Baie lekker ontbyt ook gehad, daar is iets van alles om van te kies. Ons sal definitief weer daar oorbly.

Juweel herehuis met die mooiste antieke meubels.

Die Herbert Baker herehuis is ongeveer 110 plus jaar oud. Heerlike rustige atmosfeer, met die mooiste antieke meubels. Pluspunt, hondekind kon saamgaan. Die gasheer het ons vriendelik ontvang en die volgende oggend vroeg toe ons in die pad na Pretoria val, was hy weer daar. Dankie vir julle pragtige oornagplek. Sal dit hoogs aanbeveel. Hy het ons ook 'n groter plek gegee. Waardeer!

The Herbert Baker mansion is approximately 110 plus years old. Lovely peaceful atmosphere, with the most beautiful antique furniture. Plus, dog child could go along. The host received us kindly and early the next morning when we hit the road to Pretoria, he was there again. Thank you for your beautiful place to stay. Would highly recommend it. He also gave us a bigger place. Appreciate!

Die Conville B&B is 'n uiters goeie keuse vir 'n nag of twee se oorbly op Aliwal-Noord.

Die ou herehuis van meer as 'n 100 jaar oud is iets om te sien! Bruce is 'n vriendelike en aangename gasheer wat lekker gesels en van die ontstaan van die huis vertel. Die stoep kyk uit op 'n pragtige groot tuin. Saans, met die son wat sak, het ons op die stoep gebraai. Die ontbyt in die groot eetkamer is die perfekte begin vir 'n dag op Aliwal-Noord. Die rustigheid van die plek bring 'n unieke ervaring.

The Conville B&B is an extremely good choice for a night or two's stay on Aliwal North.

The old mansion of more than a 100 years old is something to see! Bruce is a friendly and pleasant host who enjoys talking and telling about the origin of the house. The porch overlooks a beautiful large garden. In the evening, with the sun setting, we had a barbecue on the porch. The breakfast in the large dining room is the perfect start to a day at Aliwal North. The tranquility of the place brings a unique experience.

Terugblik in die verlede.

Cornville Bed and Breakfast is 'n histories huis met baie ryke geskiedenis, luukse oornag fasiliteite en bo alles 'n gasheer met 'n hart vir wat hy doen. Lees die stories, kyk na die afwerking van gerwe op die huis, die sade wat ontkiem in koper geets op deurknoppe en beleef weer die ryke verlede van saaiboere op die rand van die Oranjerivier.

Looking back at the past.

Cornville Bed and Breakfast is a historic house with a very rich history, luxury overnight facilities and above all a host with a heart for what he does. Read the stories, look at the finish of sheaves on the house, the seeds that germinate in copper geets on doorknobs and relive the rich past of seed farmers on the edge of the Orange River.

Gerieflike oornagstop.

Pragtige ou huis, tjoepstil in die aand en lekker rustig. Die binnekant is bietjie verwese, matrasse en linne is al bietjie oud. Geen bottels water, melk of WiFi in die kamers nie, so stop maar voor die tyd by 'n winkel as jy wil tee of koffie maak in die oggend. Maak ook seker jy boek een van die en suite kamers tensy jy in die gang wil afstap met jou kamerjassie en vanity case soos in 'n koshuis.

Beautiful old house, very quiet in the evening and nice and quiet. The interior is a bit dated, mattresses and linen are a bit old. No bottles of water, milk or WiFi in the rooms, so just stop at a shop ahead of time if you want to make tea or coffee in the morning. Also make sure you book one of the en suite rooms unless you want to walk down the hall with your dressing gown and vanity case like in a hostel.

Die huis is 'n stukkie lewende geskiedenis. Sir Herbert Baker-ontwerp, hoë plafonne, dik mure, breë houtomhulde kosyne. Oorspronklike Skots-ontwerpte meubelment wat pas met die glasierde vensters. Oulike woef-kinders, lekker ontbyt en vriendelike en gasvrye gaspaar. Lekker oornag.

Die pragtige huis is 'n juweel. Ons is vriendelik ontvang en het dadelik tuis gevoel.

Die pragtige, oorspronklike Herbert Baker-huis is 'n juweel en opsigself 'n besienswaardigheid. Die gastehuis is geleë langs die Oranjerivier en die uitsig is besonders. Die kamer was baie gerieflik en ruim en ons het heerlik uitgerus. Sal beslis weer daar wil oorbly.

The beautiful, original Herbert Baker House is a gem and an attraction in itself. The guest house is located next to the Orange River and the view is exceptional. The room was very comfortable and spacious and we had a great rest. Would definitely stay there again.

Deftige behuising op 'n pragtige plaas.

Hierdie deftige woning is op 'n plaas net langs Aliwal-Noord geleë. Die eienaars was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die huis het 'n baie interessante en ryk geskiedenis met pragtige afwerkings en antieke meubelstukke. Die ontbyt was smaaklik en ons het op die plaas gaan stap tot by die rivier. Dis net 'n jammerte ons kon net een aand bly en sal regtig graag weer terug wil gaan vir 'n langer besoek.

The house has a very interesting and rich history with beautiful finishes and antique furniture. The breakfast was tasty and we went for a walk on the farm to the river. It's just a shame we could only stay one night and would really like to go back again for a longer visit.

The building and decor is a real trip back in time.

We booked the family room for our stay on the 29th December and the rooms were large with comfortable beds. The garden and pond was a great delight and the only reason I haven't moved to another guest house is because my son is a keen catch and release fisherman and he saw big fish in the pond. The guest rooms' furniture does justice to its century-old origins, but all other areas definitely need maintenance. The quality of the modern shower, sink, toilet and built-in melamine cabinets in the old bathroom also strongly undermines the character and old-fashioned furniture. There was also no place to unpack our clothes as all the cupboards in the rooms were locked with notes that they may not be used. On our arrival there was unfortunately a mattress on the floor from previous guests which was still there when we left the next day. Our country is currently experiencing a heat wave and the fans were welcome but totally inadequate. To top it all off, there was no small fridge in either of the 2 rooms and we were forced to ask that at least our water, butter and ice packs could be kept in the hostess's fridge. Since the guest house does not offer dinners or other light meals (even on request), we had to eat takeaway meals as all other places to eat in town were closed. This guest house really has so much potential and we were sorry to see that the place seems to be going downhill.

Vreemde maar wonderlike ervaring.

By aankoms het ons maar baie skepties na die opset gekyk en gewonder of ons die regte besluit geneem het om daar te slaap. Agterkant van gebou het meer gelyk na n gebou uit 'n Dracula fliek. Toe ons eers die voorkant, binnekant en ons kamer sien was dit egter 'n ander siening. Die verblyf was aangenaam, mense baie vriendelik en die ontbyt heerlik. Die huis aan die binnekant uit die klassieke era van swaar hout venters, deurkosyne en meubels. Iets wat 'n mens nie meer alledaags sien nie.

Strange but wonderful experience.

Upon arrival, we looked at the setup very skeptically and wondered if we had made the right decision to sleep there. Back of building looked more like a building from a Dracula movie. However, once we saw the front, inside and our room it was a different view. The stay was pleasant, people very friendly and the breakfast delicious. The house on the inside from the classical era of heavy wooden venters, door frames and furniture. Something you don't see everyday anymore.

Aliwal North home of character.

We enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing overnight stay at the lovely Conville B&B on the outskirts of Aliwal North. Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated, with a comfortable brass-bed. Yes, as some have suggested, the building is a little “tired” looking, but in our opinion that can be forgiven, given it’s age. It’s a gracious stay, with furnishings to match. We were charmed, and would not hesitate to stay again in this beautiful home.

Dis 'n pragtige geskiedkundige ou huis en mooi toegerus. Die kamer is toegerus met pragtige antieke meubelstukke, maar 'n bietjie stowwerig. Die tuin lyk effens onversorg - moontlik as gevolg van die afgelope droogte. Beslis goeie waarde vir geld.

Die huis en omgewing het my ver laat terugdink. 'n 110 jaar oue huis in so 'n toestand moet gerespekteer en waardeer word. Ons was die enigste gaste, dus was dit baie rustig en stil.

Very calm and friendly. A home and environment to appreciate.

The house and surroundings made me think back a long way. A 110 year old house in such condition should be respected and appreciated. We were the only guests, so it was very peaceful and quiet.

Provides quietness and comfort after long exhausting journey.

Old historical building with antiques and furniture that take people back in history. Very quiet environment and room comfortable.

Wonderlike ou huis en pragtige tuin, maar geen sekuriteit om van te praat nie.

Sien sterre.

'n Heerlike ervaring.

Dit was 'n heerlike, outydse ervaring met al die glorie daarvan. Die huis en meubels is so goed en met sorg bewaar. Die geskiedenis van die plek word met liefde en waardering deur die oorspronklike familie bewoon en oorvertel. Dit is werklik 'n voorreg dat die familie bereid is om so 'n kosbaarheid met die gaste te deel. Die tydjie daar glip net te gou verby. Baie dankie. Dankie ook aan LekkeSlaap vir uitstekende diens gelewer.

A lovely experience.

It was a lovely, old worldly experience, with all the glory you'd expect from it. The house and furniture have been looked after with such care. The history of the place is remembered and relayed with love and appreciation by the original family. It truly was an honour that the family were willing to share these precious stories with guests. The time just went by too fast. Thank you very much and thank you to LekkeSlaap for excellent service rendered.

Onversorg.

Ons het arriveer toe dit baie koud was. Daar lê gekapte hout by die hek en ons voorsien 'n kaggelvuur. Ons word ontnugter dat daar geen vure in die kamers toegelaat word nie, daar is kaggels! Daar is twee kamers, ons was drie gaste. Die hoofslaapkamer is versier met stowwerige en skewe familieportrette - die ander kamer het twee konsentrasiekamp ysterkatels. Ek soek meer komberse in die kas en word oorval deur 'n negosiewinkel vol allerlei komberse en goeters. Ons word meegedeel dat daar nie water is nie en sodra die water beskikbaar is sal die warmwatertoestel aangeskakel word. Ons gaan eet en is 2 - 3 ure weg, met die terugkoms is daar nog niks gedoen aan die warm water nie en ek wil graag weet waarom die probleem nie opgelos ten tye van ons afwesigheid nie. Gasvrou stel voor ons kry ander akkommodasie! Reeds betaal en ons skryf dit af as 'n erge ondervinding - die oggend word ons meegedeel die warmwatertoestel is gebreek. Ketel met warm water om te was. Die huis val uitmekaar met erge krake, daar is dringende afstof nodig. As jy daar inry sien jy die onnet omgewing met 'n kamper onder 'n boom. Dit is duidelik dat die plek moet opgeknap word en dat die eienaars dit nie in stand kan hou nie en nie moet uitverhuur as gasteverblyf nie.

Unkempt.

We arrived when it was bitterly cold. Chopped wood lay by the gate and we made a fire in the hearth. We were then told that no fires were allowed in the rooms, but they had fireplaces! There were 2 rooms and we were 3 guests. The main bedroom was decorated with dusty and skew family portraits. The other room had 2 iron beds from the concentration camps. I looked for more blankets in the cupboard and discovered a bric-a-brac shop full of many blankets and things. I was told that there was no water available, but as soon as it was available they would put on the geyser. We went to go eat and was away for 2 to 3 hours. When we got back nothing had been done about the hot water situation and I want to know why the problem wasn't sorted out when wer were gone. The hostess suggested that we find different accommodation. We already paid though and wrote it off as a terrible experience. The morning we were told that the geyser was broken. We had to use a kettle to get hot water so we could wash. The house is falling apart and has terrible cracks and it desperately needs a good dusting. As you drive there you see the untidiness of the place with the camper under a tree. It is clear that this place needs to be renovated and that the owners cannot keep it in a good condition. They should not be letting it to guests.

B&B accomodation. Just outside town. Historic and tranquil setting.

Affordable, historic and tranquil setting with neat accommodation. Easy access on the outskirts of town and perfect as an overnight venue. Lovely experience.

Lieflike uitsig teen die rivier.

Lieflike, stil plekkie weg van die dorp se lawaai. Naby die hoofroete. Ruim kamers. Antieke gevoel met sy donkerhoutmeubels. Ruim groen grasperk vir ontspan na ver pad.

Lovely view of the river.

Lovely, quiet place away from the noise of the town. Close to the main route. Spacious rooms. Antique feel with its dark wood furniture. Spacious green lawn for relaxing after a long drive.
