Nie die geld werd.

Die pad na die verblyf is baie klipperig en sleg. Die verblyf self is nie op standaard nie en kort opknapping. Die algehele gevoel wat mens by die verblyf kry, is dat die eenhede afgeskeep en verlate is. Ek sal nie weer daar oornag nie en beveel dit vir seker nie aan vir vriende of familie nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Not worth the money.

The road to the accommodation is very rocky and bad. The accommodation itself is not up to standard and needs renovation. The overall feeling one gets from the accommodation is that the units are neglected and abandoned. I will not stay there again and certainly do not recommend it to friends or family.

Gemaklik, oulike plek met vriendelike eienaars.

Baie rustig, as daar 'n klank curfew was sou dit dan perfek wees. Maintenance sal die plekkie nie seermaak nie. Baie gerieflik andersins, grondpad sal ook nie onmoontlik wees vir 'n klein karretjie nie.

Okay accommodation.

The 4-8 sleeper at Cynthia's Country Stay is an okay accommodation for a couple of days. One of the rooms is very small (double bed). The cleanliness of the house was okay, but the place was very muggy upon arrival. You must let them know if you arrive early as they are very strict about it (we had a 5-hour trip and arrived early - they didn't like that at all, even though we were willing to wait). There was minimal signal for WiFi and phone calls. The accommodation is very cheap for the area, and you get what you pay for.

Cynthia's Country Stay 's response

Good afternoon Tarina, Thank you so much for your review, we value every review and know that we are doing the right thing when it comes to our Guests.

We are more than happy for guests who need an early check-in to do so, as long as we are aware of it!

Note that before you check in, we put on the fans, open the windows, check for any dust missed, thus alleviating the muggy smells you mentioned, so that you experience a room that is cool, fresh and clean !
Inexpensive accommodation is to assist those who cannot afford getting away to visit our beautiful area! we will be very happy to improve ! ps We would love you to come back and visit again! Kind Regards, Cynthia

The owners were very friendly and helpful. The place is just very old and furniture in the house was very low. Difficult for people with back pain to sit and stand up.

The dirt road is very bad. Only large vehicles can drive there. No shelter or cool parking for our car.

Very serene. The hosts were very kind and understanding. The chalet is very close to the pool and equipped with everything you need. Prior to check-in, the host updates you regarding the weather, loadshedding, etc. We really enjoyed our stay. NB, you need an SUV for the gravel road, esp. if it rains.

Rustige blyplekkie naby woelige Hartbeespoortdam.

Cynthia's Country Stay is presies net mooi dit: 'n blyplekkie buite die gewoel van die stad. Ons het baie lekker gekuier om die vuurtjie in die lapa wat vir ons privaatheid gegee het van die ander chalets. Die baksteen eenheid is omskep om slaapplek te bied vir 'n hele gesin. Die drumpeltjies na verskeie kamers is duidelik gemerk vir veiligheid. Alles was baie skoon en netjies. Die kombuis is volledig toegerus met alles wat nodig is vir 'n naweek se kuier.

Quiet place to stay near bustling Hartbeespoort Dam.

Cynthia's Country Stay is exactly that: a place to stay outside the hustle and bustle of the city. We had a great time around the fire in the lapa which gave us privacy from the other chalets. The brick unit has been converted to provide sleeping space for a whole family. The thresholds to various rooms are clearly marked for safety. Everything was very clean and tidy. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed for a weekend visit.

Slegste ervaring ooit!

Met aankoms word ons meegedeel dat daar geen krag is vir 'n hele week al nie. Middernag moes ons bel sodat die eienaars gekontak kon word om kragopwekkers af te skakel. As hulle vooraf eerlik was ten opsigte van die krag sou ons alternatiewe blyblek gereël het.

Worst experience ever!

Upon arrival we are told that there is no power for a whole week. At midnight we had to call so that the owners could be contacted to turn off generators. If they had been honest in advance about the power we would have arranged alternative accommodation.

This review has been automatically translated using Google.
View original in Afrikaans.

Cynthia's Country Stay 's response

Gys, we had generators so to say we had no power is not accurate.
We had sort out the power everyday the past week. They failed to come to our property to check. We are not in control of the wires being out of the box. That is Tshwanes property and we were not allowed to touch that. The reason we run the generator at a late hour was due to a few guests having not arrived yet. We eventually switched it off and I do apologize that generators do not heat up Geysers.
As you are aware cost us a fortune to hire the generator and for the fuel however we are happy to give you a free nights stay rather than a full refund as we are out of pocket due to the generator being hired. Thanks once again for your patience and understanding.

Goedkoop, rustig, maar onbereikbaar sonder 4x4.

Die prys is baie goedkoop vir verblyf as mens in Hartebeespoort moet wees. Maar die pad soontoe is baie sleg en sal nie soontoe kan gaan met 'n normale kar nie.

Baie sleg en nie wat geadverteer word nie. Eienaar is baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig.

Die foto's op die web en die werklikheid is nie dieselfde nie. Die krag in die gebou is gevaarlik. Beide myself en my man was geskop deur die krag by die kombuis lig en die yskas. Die eienares se gesindheid is vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die gebou laat veel te wense oor. Ek sal dit nie aanbeveel nie.

Absoluut pateties.

Die verblyf was nie wense nie. Die beddens is baie oud en opgebruik (soos 'n boot) die toilette is aan die buitekant soos 'n ablusieblok en baie klein. Daar was geen warm water om in te stort nie en die bad is oud en vol merke. Die toilet is plat op die grond en moeilik om te gebruik. Daar is geen aanwysingsborde van 'n dag oud nie. Die grondpad daarheen is vreeslik sleg. Ek het met van die ander gaste gepraat en dit wat hulle adverteer is nie tevrede met die verblyf gewees nie. Sondagoggend was die hele plek sonder water en moes ons vroeër vertrek as beplan. Cynthia's Country Stay verdien geen sterre nie

Absolutely pathetic.

The stay was not wishes. The beds are very old and used up (like a boat) the toilets are on the outside like an ablution block and very small. There was no hot water to shower in and the bathtub is old and full of marks. The toilet is flat on the ground and difficult to use. There are no signposts from a day old. The dirt road there is terribly bad. I spoke to some of the other guests and what they advertised was not satisfied with the accommodation. Sunday morning the whole place was without water and we had to leave earlier than planned. Cynthia's Country Stay deserves no stars

Ek is baie jammer vir u opmerkings oor dit wat nie tot u beskikking was nie.
Die grond pad moet ons self skraap en daar was baie reën onlangs. Die toilet was nie op die grond nie.
Die beddens se matrasse is nuut en baie gemaklik.
Die water probleem was ons krag wat aan en af gaan wat die problerm veroorsaak het.
U het die buite badkamer chalet gekies. Dit sê kampeerstyl met buite badkamers op ons webwerf. Dit was u keuse, jammer dat u so voel. Ons sal kyk na die bad wat gemerk is. Ons het probeer dit afhaal.
Die bordjies sal ons vinnig vervang.

Cyntthia's Contry Lodge is a beautiful peaceful place, a home away from home.

We visited Cynthia's Country Lodge on 27th of April 2018 and my friends and our kids loved the place especially mountain hiking, the also enjoyed all the activities that are on site and their environment. Their rooms are spacious and you get to sleep comfortably. Colleen the manager and her staff were so friendly and helpful and there's a security guard who checks the guests if they are fine. We would love to visit again soon. I will definitely recommend Cynthia's Country Lodge to friends and family.

We had the best time except we had to stay at the chalets which was not what we paid for.

We had the best time at Broedestroom Cynthias, except for the deceptive advertising on horse riding on site and other activities, which were never there and we booked a house as advertised instead we had to sleep on the chalets.

Cynthia's Country Stay 's response

Good day Fortunate,

I thank you for your review.

Kindly note that you selected and booked the 8-sleeper chalet, the unit in which you were also accommodated. The main house is R3000per night but was already booked by other guests for the same dates.

Horse-riding is an activity in the area and not available on the premises. This has been indicated correctly on the website.

Heerlike rustige wegbreek met uitstekende diens en pragtige uitsig!

Duisende dankies vir 'n wonderlike ervaring by Cynthia's Country Stay! Ons verwelkoming was vriendelik en warm en jy het seker gemaak ons is gelukkig met die ontvangs van ons eerste huisie (die 4-8 sleeper Chalet). Jy het saam met ons deur ons toestelle gegaan om seker te maak alles werk voor ons uitpak. Ons het die chalet in 'n baie netjiese en skoon toestand ontvang met alles net soos dit geadverteer word. Die volgende oggend was jy daar om te hoor of alles reg is en of ons enigiets benodig. Met ons kort kennisgewing was julle meer as bereidwillig om ons te akkomodeer in die Groot Huis ook. Hier het ons weereens die hele huis in 'n perfekte netjiese en skoon toestand ontvang en die hele span van Cynthia's het ons vinnig laat tuis voel hier ook. Julle het uit julle pad uit gegaan om seker te maak ons is gelukkige kliënte! Selfs in 'n klein persoonlike krisis het julle ons verwagtinge oortref met jul hulpvaardigheid en bystand. Die natuurskoon en veral die privaatheid van die huis het ons harte gesteel en kindertjies het die pragtige swembad veral baie geniet! Ons sal julle beslis gou weer sien!

Alhoewel ons net vir een nag oorgebly het, was dit lekker en rustig gewees. Die diens was baie goed en die blyplek was uiters netjies en skoon. Beslis waarde vir geld en ek kan dit aanbeveel. Die pad soontoe is net 'n bietjie sleg, maar dis nie 'n onoorkomelike probleem nie.

Please make sure your doors are changed, because some has open spaces where we were worried if a snake can come through.

Please let your customers know in time that your place is in a forest so they can come prepared for things like mosquito repellent. Some of our kids are allergic, so we had to go out on a Christmas day to find something to help them. But more importantly, fix your fridge, stove and oven.

Cynthia's Country Stay 's response

Hi Dikekedi

Thank you for your review.

Please advise us which accommodation as you were booked in?

You were in the chalets as well as the main house. We have 3 styled. 3 STYLES. CHALE 1 .2.AND THE MAIN HOUSE.
Please note that we are a self-catering farm venue and mosquito repellent is normally provided by you. We do however apologise for that.
The fridge was working and the stoves are checked every time before a guest book in. You did not notify us of any problem at the time you booked in and perhaps the gas was off and you said nothing?
We checked the chalet door it does have a tiny gap above. We will definitely sort that out today. Thank you so much.

Heerlik ontspan in die wonderlike natuurskoon.

Vriendelike ontvangs. Alle geriewe tot 'n skottelgoedwasser tot jou beskikking. Kleinkinders het genoeg afleiding gehad met swembad, swaaie, klimrame, sandput en sommer net rondhardloop en speel. Nie een vervelige oomblik ervaar nie. Akkommodasie eenhede netjies en skoon.

Wonderfully relaxing in the wonderful natural beauty.

Friendly reception. All amenities up to a dishwasher at your disposal. Grandchildren had enough distraction with swimming pool, swings, climbing frames, sand pit and just running around and playing. Not one dull moment experienced. Accommodation units neat and clean.

Pleasant rustic place that transports you to a faraway farm albeit it just 30 minutes from Pretoria West.

I traveled with a group of friends over a long weekend and we enjoyed our stay. There is absolute privacy with no interference from the managers, however they were always available and keen to assist when required to do so. If you plan to be outdoors , the accommodation is well suited as it is built for functionality with no luxury facilities whatsoever. The outside shared ablution facilities are somewhat clean. However I would not recommend the bathtub for obvious reasons. We enjoyed sitting outside at night by the fire (after braaing) to gaze at the stars. If travelling in winter, I would recommend that you bring your own warm blanket. The kettle was incredibly slow and the microwave did not work. A highlight of the trip was the hike up the mountain. There was a magnificent view of the Hartbeespoort Dam. All in all I would definitely return there.

Thank you for your review. We always try to keep the ablutions as clean as possible so apologise if not up to standard. Will look into it and remedy.
We have also added more bedding to ensure that guests keep snug in winter. (cold front caught us off guard, sorry)
We have checked the microwaves,tested them and found them to be fully functional. Perhaps it was not plugged in?
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and hope you call on us again.

Good day,
Thank you for your review. We apologise that you felt the unit not up to standard. These are "Camping Style" chalets hence the affordable rate. We have tested the fan and found it to be in good working order. The outside ablutions are fully functional and cleaned daily. Whilst you were here, the only thing you complained about was the noise from other guests which we attended to and asked that they keep the noise levels down.
Regards,
Colleen

Mors van geld en tyd, nie die moeite werd nie!

Die verblyf was aaklig! Dis glad nie soos wat dit geadverteer word op die webtuiste nie. Geen veiligheid nie. Die beddens is gehawend en die plek is nie van goeie standaard nie, dit kom vuil en sleg onderhou voor. Ek sal dit glad nie aanbeveel nie.

Waste of money and time, not worth it!

I am sorry to hear your stay was unpleasant.

Just to clarify:

You did book our camping style chalet, which has the basic amenities.
We have a security guard who patrols in the evening to ensure guests are safe. There is also a security gate in your unit. So not sure why you felt unsafe. There is a servitude road running through the property that takes other guests to another establishment behind us, hence some traffic past the chalet area, this is something we cannot eliminate, unfortunately.
I have checked the microwave and found it to be in working order.
The bedding in the unit is washed by myself and can say that the unit was indeed clean upon your arrival.
We have suffered a massive drought this year, and the farms in the area only have boreholes as a water source, if the garden was not up to standard, we are sorry for the inconvenience but had to save water for the bare necessities. Please bear in mind, we are also in winter and the grass will die down at this time.
I have sent an email with photos to LekkeSlaap and await their response.
Regards
Colleen

We really enjoyed staying at Cynthia's Country House.

I think you need to state that the main house's pool is also for sharing because we ended up with people who wanted to swim, but we didn't allow them too because we were not told nor is it written on the website that the pool is to be shared. Otherwise we had a great stay. Thanks to Phillip and Steve.

Suitable for bachelors parties

We stayed in the 8 sleeper chalet, more inside chairs should be provided, Fans needed in rooms, shower needed cleaning. With a bit of effort the chalet would be lovely. Swimming pool could be cleaner. Ablutions outside needed attention as they were also dirty.

Nie weer nie.

Die grondpad wat lei na die chalet is 'n nagmerrie! Hulle behoort mens te waarsku daaroor! 'n Mooi omgewing maar te veel klein dingetjies wat gepla het met ons aankoms. Daar was 2.6 km van die grondpad wat mens nie vinniger as 20km/h kan ry nie. Dit was 'n genade dat ons nog in daglig arriveer het. Almal was vriendelik maar met aankoms was daar geen warm water nie en die kragproppe in die hoofslaapkamer het nie gewerk nie. Met terugkeer van 'n troue die aand het ons agtergekom dat die een kamer nie eers 'n gloeilamp in die dak het nie. Die bure langsaan het gekla oor hulle ketel wat nie werk nie en toe hulle die gasstoof wou gebruik, was daar ook nie gas nie. Dit het 'n mooi ligging, maar ons sal nie weer daar oornag nie.

Not again.

The dirt road leading to the chalet is a nightmare! They should warn people about it! A nice setting but too many little things that bothered us when we arrived. There were 2.6 km of the dirt road that one cannot drive faster than 20 km/h. It was a mercy that we still arrived in daylight. Everyone was friendly but on arrival there was no hot water and the power plugs in the master bedroom didn't work. On returning from a wedding in the evening we noticed that one room didn't even have a light bulb in the roof. The neighbors next door complained about their boiler not working and when they wanted to use the gas stove, there was no gas either. It has a nice location, but we would not stay there again.

Higiëne word bevraagteken.

Dit is baie privaat en 'n wegbreek uit die stad. Ons het aanvanklik bespreek vir 'n kamer in die gastehuis teen R800 vir 'n gesinskamer (ons was 4 vroue). By ons aankoms laat die middag was ons kamer nog nie skoongemaak nie en het hulle vir ons 'n aparte huisie aangebied waarmee ons nie 'n probleem gehad het nie. Alhoewel ons heerlik privaat kon kuier, was die beddegoed nie in 'n goeie toestand nie. Die een dubbelbed het nie 'n onderlaken opgehad nie en die matras was effe grillerig. Die vadoeke in die kombuis was ook nie vreeslik skoon nie en daar was byvoorbeeld nog ou slaai in die yskas. Ons was ook 'n klein bietjie bekommerd omdat dit so afgesonder voorgekom het.

Hygiene is questioned.

It is very private and a getaway from the city. We initially booked a room in the guest house at R800 for a family room (we were 4 women). On our arrival late in the afternoon our room had not been cleaned yet and they offered us a separate cottage which we didn't have a problem with. Although we had great privacy, the bedding was not in good condition. The one double bed did not have a fitted sheet and the mattress was a bit creepy. The dishcloths in the kitchen were also not terribly clean and there was, for example, still old salad in the fridge. We were also a little worried because it seemed so isolated.

Wanvoorstelling van wat mens kry.

Die foto's op die webtuiste wys nie al die opsies nie. Ons het 'n bespreking gemaak na aanleiding van wat ons op die internet kon sien en toe ons daar kom bly ons in 'n opslaan-geboutjie wat uitmekaar val sonder 'n ketel wat werk en beddens wat so hol is mens moet aan die kant vasklou terwyl jy slaap. Die pad na die plek is ook vreeslik sleg en nie aan te beveel vir 'n normale sedan nie.

Misrepresentation of what one gets.

The photos on the website do not show all the options. We made a reservation based on what we could see on the internet and when we got there we stayed in a small building that was falling apart without a working boiler and beds that were so hollow you had to cling to the side while you sleep. The road to the place is also terribly bad and not recommended for a normal sedan.

Skoon maar baie basies.

Die grondpad na die plek toe is in 'n slegte toestand. Die plek is baie basies. Dit is 'n ou plaas-opstal wat hulle verander het in verblyf. Daar is geen weelde nie. Daar is wilde bosse om die opstal. Ek glo nie ons sal weer daar gaan bly nie.

Clean but very basic.

The dirt road to the place is in bad shape. The place is very basic. It is an old farm homestead that they have turned into accommodation. There is no luxury. There are wild woods around the homestead. I don't think we will stay there again.

Ek sal geensins die plek aanbeveel nie!

Baie swak. Die bestuurderes is wel baie behulpsaam en gaaf. Die foto op die webblad van die gastehuis is die enigste ding wat korrek is. Die foto's van die chalets en kothuise is egter nie heeltemal korrek nie. Die plekkies is baie onnet en die gordyne is net gedrapeer oor die reëlings. Die grondpad is ook baie sleg na die plek toe, alhoewel dit nou niemand se skuld is nie. Ek sal dit nie aanbeveel nie. Daar was geen uitsig nie en daar is ook geen draad tussen ons en die volgende plot gewees nie.

I would not recommend the place in any way!

Very weak. The drivers are very helpful and nice. The photo on the web page of the guest house is the only thing that is correct. However, the photos of the chalets and cottages are not entirely correct. The places are very untidy and the curtains are just draped over the arrangements. The dirt road to the place is also very bad, although it is no one's fault now. I would not recommend it. There was no view and there was no line between us and the next plot.

Ons het in een van die kothuise gebly.

Die ligging en die pad om daar uit te kom is iets verskrikliks. Die beddegoed was so vuil dat ons op ons eie handdoeke moes slaap. Ons het 3 uur die oggend gery omdat ons erg deur vlooie en muskiete gebyt is, so erg dat ons nie kon slaap nie. Aaklige ervaring.

The location and the way to get there is something terrible. The bedding was so dirty that we had to sleep on our own towels. We drove at 3 o'clock in the morning because we were badly bitten by fleas and mosquitoes, so badly that we could not sleep. Horrible experience.
