Lekker.

Dit was baie lekker vir die kort tydjie, die eienaars was verskriklik vriendelik alhoewel ek voel dit moes vroegtydig beklemtoon word dat geen rokery toegelaat word op die eiendom nie. Dit was nerens aangetoon nie, so dit was bietjie onaangenaam.

Nice.

It was very nice for the short time, the owners were incredibly friendly although I feel it should have been emphasized early on that no smoking is allowed on the property. It wasn't shown anywhere, so it was a bit unpleasant.

Hello Candice
Dankie vir julle resensie. Ons is bly julle het die verblyf by ons geniet. Ons is besig om te werk aan die duidelikheid van die nie-rook beleid. Lyk my dit verskyn wel op ons Engelse inligting, maar nie op die Afrikaanse blad nie. Jammer daaroor.

Nog my beste so ver, rustige area.

Makeer net 'n TV dis al. Anders goed genoeg vir 'n tydelike vakansieplek. Sal enige tyd weer daar gaan sal selfs moet ek my eie TV saamneem. Dankie Cork Tree Cottage julle het my vakansie gemaak.

Still my best so far, peaceful area.

Just make a TV that's all. Otherwise good enough for a temporary vacation spot. Will go there again anytime, even if I have to bring my own TV. Thank you Cork Tree Cottage you made my holiday.

Hi Chelsey
We are sorry to hear that you had an awful experience staying at Cork Tree Cottage. As clearly stated on our booking site, we have a no-smoking policy. The owner kindly requested you to please refrain from smoking. We do not consider that arrogant.

We were very comfortable and it is a beautiful property.

We were greeted at the gate by the owner, she was very friendly. The accommodation is beautiful, we had everything we needed. Beautiful swimming pool and it was nice and peaceful. There is no television but that did not bother us because there was load shedding anyway.

Cork Tree Cottage is veilig en die omgewing is wonderlik stil.

Die omgewing is wonderskoon met berge en wingerde. Die verblyf is ver van die Mall en strandgebied, maar bied tog stilte en veiligheid om af te skakel.

Ek sal nie weer hier oornag nie.

Het 2 aande hier geslaap, wat nie op mekaar volg nie, daar is glad nie skoongemaak na die eerste aand se verblyf, asblik nie uitgegooi, handdoeke nie vervang, bed nie eers opgemaak.

I won't be staying here again.

Stayed 2 separate nights and they didn't clean after the first night's stay, didn't empty the garbage, or replace the towels, or even made the bed when I returned there the second time.

Cork Tree Cottage 's response

Janine, ons is verbaas en opreg jammer om te hoor dat julle nie tevrede was met julle onlangse verblyf by Cork Tree Cottage nie. Let egter asb op die verskil tussen 'n selfsorg eenheid in vergelyking met 'n hotel waar kamers daagliks gediens word. Ons bied en adverteer baie duidelik 'n selfsorg eenheid. Ons adverteer nêrens dat ons ons gaste eenheid daagliks diens gedurende korttermyn verblyf nie en is dus jammer dat julle so 'n verkeerde verwagting kon hê. Ter verduideliking beteken selfsorg dat ons ongelukkig nie ons gaste se beddens daagliks vir hulle opmaak nie, nie handdoeke vervang na slegs 1 maal se gebruik nie en oor die algemeen eers skoonmaak na ons gaste finaal uitgeboek het. Soos met julle aanvanklike aankoms aan julle gekommunikeer is, het ons nie ander gaste gehad gedurende die 2 nagte wat julle nie by ons oornag het nie. Daarom het ons aangebied dat julle van julle persoonlike items veilig by ons kon los, indien julle sou wou. Daaruit het ons verstaan julle besef dat ons die gaste eenheid net so vir julle los van julle eerste aand se verblyf tot en met julle terugkeer na 2 dae. Aldus die rede dat ons nie tussenin meer skoongemaak het as om julle vuil skottelgoed vir julle te was nie. Die netheid waarvoor julle vir ons net een ster gee, was dus nie te danke aan iets wat ons nagelaat het om vooraf of na die tyd te doen nie, maar net hoe julle self die eenheid gelos het tussen julle eerste en tweede aankoms. Ons voel die 14 uit 17 resensies se ander gaste wat vir ons 5 sterre vir netheid gegee het (en die ander 3 gaste wat vir ons 4 sterre gegee het), het 'n meer realistiese verwagting gehad en was dus nie onnodig teleurgesteld nie. Moontlik moet julle in die toekoms eerder hotelverblyf as selfsorg oorweeg.

Ek hou nie van kouewaterstort in die middel van die winter nie.

Die plek is goed geleë, veilig en gerieflik. Maar om in die middel van die winter net koue water in 'n amper 5 ster-oornagplek te hê, is nie goed nie. Ek het vanaf 13/07/16 tot 16/07/16 in Swellendam Backpackers gewoon en my ondervinding is dat dit beter was as by Cork Tree vir die eenvoudige rede dat daar dieselfde geriewe was plus warm water.

I don't like cold shower in the middle of winter.

The place is well located, safe and comfortable. But having only cold water in an almost 5 star overnight stay in the middle of winter is not good. I lived in Swellendam Backpackers from 13/07/16 to 16/07/16 and my experience is that it was better than at Cork Tree for the simple reason that there were the same facilities plus hot water.

Mnr Van der Westhuizen
Ons opregte verskoning vir die koue water stort tydens u onlangse verblyf by Cork Tree Cottage. Soos u weet, was ons self weg met vakansie ten tye dat u die bespreking gemaak het, en het ons u probeer akkommodeer deur 'n buurvrou te vra om u namens ons te ontvang. Ons was ongelukkig glad nie bewus daarvan dat daar net koue water was nie. Indien ons self tuis was, sou ons dadelik kon aandag skenk aan die probleem. Om te probeer vergoed vir u ongerief bied ons u graag 'n komplimentêre nag aan by Cork Tree Cottage.

Verskriklik lekker gebly, in die mooiste omgewing. Dit was baie netjies en het alles gehad wat mens nodig het!

Ek sal Cork Tree Cottage aanbeveel vir enigiemand wat gemaklik en in 'n mooi omgewing wil bly. Dit was baie veilig, en ons was nooit gepla of geraak deur die eienaars nie. Alles het vlot verloop. Ons het lekker en gemaklik geslaap, die kombuis is ten volle uitgerus, altyd warm water gehad, die plekkie was skoon gewees en ons het oorgenoeg pakplek gehad vir al ons bagasie en om te leef. Dit is baie goed geleë. Was regtig 'n baie ontspanne ervaring!

Everything went smoothly. We slept well and comfortably, the kitchen was fully equipped, always had hot water, the place was clean and we had more than enough storage space for all our luggage and to live. It is very well located. Was really a very relaxing experience!

Lekker ruim plek vir 2 mense in 'n stil omgewing.

Ons het baie rustige verblyf gehad en kon verskeie mooi plekke van daar af besoek. Cork Tree is in 'n baie stil straat geleë. Die kombuistoerusting is effens min (slegs 'n tweeplaatstofie en 'n mikrogolfoond) vir mense wat dalk lief is vir baie kosmaak en daar is geen TV.
