Die beste bekostigbare verblyf in Oudtshoorn. Personeel net die beste.

De Akker kan met reg aanbeveel word vir enige persoon wat Oudtshoorn besoek. Waarde vir geld en vriendelike personeel.

Verdien 'n historiese resensiesyfer.

Ongelukkig vir my het die lugversorger/waaier in kamer nie gewerk nie, wat my genoodsaak het om deure en vensters oop te maak wat 'n probleem met muskiete tot gevolg gehad het.

Baie dankie vir jou resensie. ESKOM maak dit so moeilik vir ons almal. Ons het 'n Inverter, maar ongelukkig is Inverter daar vir noodsaak ligte, Wi-Fi, yskas, tv, kragpunte ens. Ongelukkig nie vir ketel, lugversorger, mikrogolf ens. nie. Jammer vir enige ongerief.

Mooi dag

I wasn't quite what we expected.

We are regular travellers and stay at many establishments around the country. The website sold the establishment well, but the reality was a different picture. It felt regimental, controlling, and cramped. The room inside the house, with the dining room just outside our door and limited ventilation didn't work for us. The smell of fried bacon in the morning was a complete put-off. Breakfast elsewhere would have been a preferred option as the breakfast (included) was a far cry from great.

De Akker Guest House 's response

Dear Lionel,
Thank you for taking the time to give us this review.
Each room on our website tells you exactly if the room has its own entrance from the outside or if the room is in the house. All our rooms are equipped with an air conditioner and do have nice big windows to open if needed some fresh air. We do have a beautiful front garden to relax in as well. The Monday you arrived was very hot in Oudtshoorn and with the Load-shedding it is difficult without an air-con to use, but this is out of our hands.
Our Breakfast on Tuesday morning was Breads, jams and cheese, coffee, tea and juice, and Pancakes with banana, cinnamon, nuts, and syrup with berries. Sausage, eggs, bacon, and, fried tomato. Also in the case that guests may be vegan or vegetarian or on a special diet and they stipulate this when making a booking or on arrival, we do go out of our way to fulfil their option. I am so sorry that our breakfast was a far cry from great. All our guests love our breakfast.
I wish you could tell me at the time while staying here so that I could try to change things for you, because we do try to fulfil all our guests' needs as far as possible. This would have been much appreciated.
Kindest regards,
Linda

Gasvryheid.

Ons moes op kort kennisgewing Oudtshoorn toe gaan en is so dankbaar dat ons by De Akker kon oorbly. Pragtige kamers en ‘n heerlike ontbyt! Die beste was die elektriese laken wat aan was toe ons ná ‘n lang en emosionele dag in die bed klim. Linda se opregte omgee en gasvryheid sal lank by ons bly.

Pragtige gastehuis met baie vriendelike personeel.

Ons het 'n hartlike ontvangs gehad en die kamer was pragtig, skoon en netjies. Basiese dinge soos koffie, tee, suiker en melk was beskikbaar asook 'n ketel, yskas en haardroër. Die badkamer het al die nodige benodighede gehad. Alhoewel ontbyt eers van 8:00 af bedien word, was ons tegemoet gekom om al teen 7:00 ons ontbyt te kon nuttig aangesien ons 8:00 al langs ons dogter se sportveld moes wees. Die ontbyt was heerlik en baie goed voorberei met 'n addisionele verrassing van pannekoek! Ek kan definitief De Akker aanbeveel.

We had a warm welcome and the room was beautiful, clean and tidy. Basic things like coffee, tea, sugar and milk were available as well as a kettle, fridge and hairdryer. The bathroom had all the necessary necessities. Although breakfast is only served from 8:00, we were met to be able to have our breakfast by 7:00 as we had to be next to our daughter's sports field by 8:00. The breakfast was delicious and very well prepared with an additional surprise of pancakes! I can definitely recommend De Akker.

Pragtige slaapkamer, baie vriendelike diens!

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Vreeslike vriendelike diens ontvang van Brendon. Hy het regtig uit sy pad gegaan om dit vir ons aangenaam te maak. Die ontbyt was regtig fantasties en so goed voorberei. Ek het net een voorstel wat ek gedink het om te noem aan julle: Die kamer waarin ons gebly het, was baie helder deur die nag as gevolg van van die stoep se ligte wat aan is gedurende die nag. Hoop dit sal 'n positiewe bydrae maak vir toekomstige gaste.

We had a very nice stay. Terribly friendly service received from Brendon. He really went out of his way to make it pleasant for us. The breakfast was really fantastic and so well prepared. I have just one suggestion that I thought I would mention to you: The room we stayed in was very bright throughout the night due to some of the porch lights being on during the night. Hope it will make a positive contribution for future guests.
