Comfortable and we were well fed!

We booked into Die Blou Nartjie following a newspaper review months ago and were happy we did. The in-house restaurant is excellent and well-priced, our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The duty manager was excellent. Based on our stay, we would recommend it to friends.

As returning guests we were not disappointed and will stay there again!

It is such a convenient place to stay on our way home from the Kgalagadi, and to have the restaurant on the premises makes it even more so. The fact that breakfast is included is a great start to the next leg of our journey!

Lekker.

Ons het twee aande by Die Blou Nartjie gebly, die aand van die 7de Oktober en wat oorspronklik die aand van die 11de sou wees. Ons planne het egter verander en die Nartjie-span was tegemoetkomend om ons plek na die 12de Oktober te skuif sonder enige probleme. Toe ek die middag van die 12de daar aankom, het hulle ons weer gehelp om van 'n enkelkamer na die woonstel te skuif, wat ons baie gehelp het met die klein kinders. Aandete is sommer na ons kamer toe gebring deur Anthony en sy span by die restaurant. Ongelooflik goeie en vriendelike diens, met niks te veel moeite nie! Sien julle weer!

Nice

We stayed at Die Blou Nartjie for two nights, the evening of the 7th of October and what was originally supposed to be the evening of the 11th. However, our plans changed and the Nartjie team was accommodating to move our place to the 12th of October without any problems. When I got there on the afternoon of the 12th, they again helped us move from a single room to the apartment, which helped us a lot with the small children. Dinner was brought straight to our room by Anthony and his team at the restaurant. Incredibly good and friendly service, with nothing too much trouble! See you again!

Comfortable.

After a bumpy trip from Clanwilliam through Botterkloof Pass, we were warmly welcomed and shown to our cozy cottage, where we had a short rest, then ended with a delicious meal of Karoo lamb chops.

Gerieflik, vriendelik, huislik.

Ons het ons vertrek uit die Kaap uit vervroeg weens die gure weer, en Die Blou Nartjie het ons tegemoet gekom deur ons twee dae vroeër te akkomodeer. Vriendelik ontvang, lekker geslaap en uitstekende aandete gehad. Nota: Kamers is uitstekend ingerig teen koue.

Gasvry, netjies, waarde vir geld.

Ons was 'n groep van 5 grootmense wat een nag by die Blou Nartjie oornag het. Ons het aandete gehad, wat uit die boonste rakke was. Die volgende oggend se ontbyt was heerlik voor ons die pad aangedurf het na die Wes Kaap. Die gasvryheid van die personeel was 'n aangename verrassing.

Gerieflike oornag-plek. Nie al die kanale van die DStv het gewerk nie (kon bv. nie M-Net opvang nie), maar aangesien ek slegs een nag gebly het, het dit nie juis gepla nie. Gaan eet gerus aandete in hulle restaurant!

Perfect overnight stop.

It is located within walking distance of the centre of town, but not close enough to hear all the noise. The room is comfortable, clean, and spacious. Parking is behind a locked gate and outside your room. The onsite restaurant serves good food at market-related prices, and the staff are friendly and helpful.

Die plek is netjies en goed toegerus. Die feit daar daar 'n restaurant is en ook nog ontbyt bedien is is beslis 'n bonus. Mense is ook baie vriendelik.

Die plek het so 'n plaasatmosfeer en geen padgeraas van voertuie nie. Die etes wat die restaurant voorsit en aanbeveel is uit die boonste rakke en ook teen bekostigbare pryse. Die eienaars en dienspersoneel is vriendelik en op hul pos die hele tyd. Beslis 'n lekker plek om oor te bly.

Die Blou Nartjie 's response

Beste Corneli

Baie dankie vir jou kommentaar. Ongelukkig het ons self nie geweet van die beurtkrag wat om 18:00 begin het nie, aangesien Eskom dit na Fase 4 verhoog het kort voor julle aankoms. Dit het ons almal onverhoeds betrap.

Ons het 'inverter" ligte in elke kamer gemerk "Emergency Light", wat werk wanneer die krag afgaan sodat julle nie in die donker hoef te wees nie. Die ligte werk op dieselfde basis as gewone ligte en kan aangeskakel word soos benodig. Die restaurant het ook 'n kragopwekker vir sulke beurtkrag gevalle om te verseker dat julle nog steeds lekker kan kuier in die restaurant terwyl daar beurtkrag is.

Beste Michael
Jammer om te hoor van jou ondervinding. Ons noem net graag dat die kelners die vorige aand aangebied het om jou wegneem ontbyt reg te kry, maar jy het gesê dat jy nie kos wil hê wat oornag oorgestaan het nie en dat jy dit vars gemaak die volgende oggend wil hê. Die kombuis het dus toe gewag die oggend van julle vertrek totdat jy vra daarvoor, aangesien jy spesifiek gesê het jy wil dit vars hê. Ongelukkig is ons nie 'n "fast food" restaurant nie, en doen ons dus nooit geroosterde broodjies nie.
Vriendelike Groete

Teleurgesteld.

Vuil beddegoed, het 'n oop kondoompakkie in die bed gekry. Die muskiete het ons weggedra en daar was geen muskietgoed beskikbaar in die kamers nie. Daar was een ou enkele kersie vir loadshedding maar geen vuurhoutjies. Ons sal nie weer by hulle slaap nie.

Disappointed.

Dirty bedding, found an open condom packet in the bed. The mosquitoes carried us away and there was no mosquito repellent available in the rooms. There was one old single cherry for loadshedding but no matches. We will not sleep with them again.

Dear William

Sorry for your inconvenience with the water pressure
But as you know the whole country is under load-shedding and Calvinia has boor holes that must be pumped with electricity in order for us to have water.
So during load-shedding, the water pressure goes down, unfortunately, it is out of our hands,

Kind regards

Teleurgestel.

Die ontvangs met aankoms was nie baie vriendelik en het meer die indruk gekry ons steur die vrou. Ook moes ek 'n mop vra oor ons vloer baie vuil was en dit self was aangesien die skoonmaker toe ek die mop vra gesê het hulle loop nou en met moeite die mop vir my uitgehaal het. Toe ons by die verblyf se restaurant wou eet wat op ons bespreking is en geen melding maak dat vooraf bespreek moet word nie, het die vrou ons meegedeel dat ons vooraf moet bespreek en hulle vol is. Sy was glad nie gepla of haar gaste eetplek het vir die aand of nie en of 'n ander plan gemaak kan word nie. Daar is nie ander eetplekke of take-aways in Calvinia nie. Ek sou verwag dat sy die gaste wat by haar oornag eerste sal akkommodeer vir ete. Ons was ook nie voorbereid met ander kos nie aangesien ons volgens bespreking die aand daar sou eet. Ons het ook nie die kamer ontvang wat bespreek was nie (10). Uiters swak, onprofessioneel en teleurgesteld.

Disappointed.

The reception on arrival was not very friendly and gave more the impression that we were disturbing the woman. I also had to ask for a mop because our floor was very dirty and it was washed by myself as the cleaner when I asked for the mop said they were running now and with difficulty took the mop out for me. When we wanted to eat at the accommodation's restaurant which is on our reservation and doesn't mention having to book in advance, the woman told us that we have to book in advance and they are full. She was not bothered at all whether her guests had somewhere to eat for the evening or not or whether another plan could be made. There are no other eateries or take-aways in Calvinia. I would expect her to accommodate the overnight guests for dinner first. We were also not prepared with other food as according to reservation we would eat there in the evening. We also did not receive the room that was booked (10). Extremely poor, unprofessional and disappointed.

A real let down.

Food at restaurant was great, but that was it. The entire family unit was infested with mosquitos, smelled of cat urine on all furniture in the lounge, and no provision was made to cater for load shedding which is inexcusable after all this time. There is a gas stove in the unit, but it isn't connected to gas so we could not boil water during load shedding to make tea/coffee. No candles or any lighting was provided for the load shedding. Every place I have stayed in the last 2 years has provided candles or battery-powered lights for these events. No one at reception when we checked at 07:00. Reception was still locked up. Very very disappointed with this stay.

Die Blou Nartjie 's response

We are very sorry to hear about your bad experience. Please allow us to explain as this is not the standard of service we usually deliver. To be clear, we take ownership of these problems and only offer an explanation and not an excuse and the problems have been dealt with since your review to the best of our abilities.

The infestation of mosquitoes has happened because of the immense amount of rain that fell just the previous week and is a big problem currently in the whole of Calvinia. Unfortunately, we do not know where the cat urine smell comes from as we have no cats on the premises - our two lovely dogs Jock and Saartjie make sure of that as they are not cat lovers. The gas stove was installed just recently and unfortunately, we did not have time to connect it to a gas canister yet, an unforgivable oversight that has since been rectified. We did however bring you boiling water in flasks for your tea as requested. All the lamps in the unit is fitted with rechargeable bulbs and we have since added LED strip lights to further alleviate the load-shedding problem. We do not provide candles as it is a fire hazard. Regarding your check-in time of 19:00, yes the reception doors are locked at that time but the restaurant doors right next door were open with a lot of people already having dinner and at this busy time of the year it is all hands on deck to help dinner guests. As the restaurant and guest house are one business, we hope that guests will see that the doors are open just beside the closed ones and that we aim to help as many people as possible as efficiently as possible.

Apologies again for your bad experience, hopefully, we can make it a better one in the future.

Kind regards,
Die Blou Nartjie

Goed en teleurstellend

Die kamers is pragtig en mooi skoon. Modern, maar die waterdruk in die stort is sleg. Die etes in die restaurant is heerlik en hoogs aanbeveelbaar. Die WiFi is teleurstellend - login en wagwoord is net geldig vir 2 ure, nie goed genoeg nie. Die swembad is deel van privaat eiendom, maar mag gebruik word deur gaste, maar was vuil (groen bodem) en daar was ’n skilpad wat geswem het - onaanvaarbaar om te swem vir gaste.

Netjiese kamer, vriendelike diens en 'n baie lekker restaurant op perseel.

Lekker gekuier met netjiese kamers en goeie diens. Sou net voorstel dat die bourommel en tuinvullis agter op die perseel, asook die wasgoeddraad so bietjie weggesteek word, sodat gaste in veral die agterste kamers nie daarin hoef vas te kyk nie.

Neat room, friendly service and a very nice restaurant on site.

Had a great time with neat rooms and good service. Would only suggest that the construction debris and garden waste at the back of the premises, as well as the clothesline, are hidden a bit, so that guests in especially the back rooms do not have to look into them.

Die gastehuis leun op die gasvryheid van Herman, die restaurateur.

Die restaurant is outentiek en die kos is geurig en traditional, lekker, met groot porsies. Hulle gaan uit hulle pad om gaste te akkommodeer wat laat of vroeg is en luister na behoeftes. Die gastehuis se gasvrou/man het ons nie eens gesien nie. Maar die besigheid is in familiebesit en daarom leun hulle sterk op Herman se persoonlikheid. Hy kan alles uitsorteer en is vriendelik en die ideale persoon vir die bedryf. Die kamers kort 'n bietjie aandag met kasdeure wat nie toemaak en toiletdeksels wat toeslaan op die onverwagte besoeker. Oor die algemeen netjies en skoon en personeel is vriendelik en behulpsaam. Aan te beveel.

The guesthouse relies on the hospitality of Herman, the restaurateur.

The restaurant is authentic and the food is fragrant and traditional, tasty, with large portions. They go out of their way to accommodate guests who are late or early and listen to needs. The guesthouse's hostess/husband didn't even see us. But the business is family owned and therefore they rely heavily on Herman's personality. He can sort everything out and is friendly and the ideal person for the industry. The rooms need some attention with closet doors that don't close and toilet lids that slam on the unexpected visitor. Generally neat and clean and staff are friendly and helpful. To recommend.

Lieflike sentrale rustige oorslaapplek.

Die Blou Naartjie het als wat jy nodug het vir 'n vinnige oornagverblyf asook 'n langer stop. Natuurlik is die restaurant 'n absolute bonus. Ons eet al 3 al die jare daar maar het by ander verblyf geslaap omdat ons nie bewus was dat daar ook oornaggeriewe is nie. Sal in die toekoms definitief dit weer doen. Ons het net die ribbetjies op die spyskaart gemis.

The Blou Naartjie has everything you need for a quick overnight stay as well as a longer stop. Of course the restaurant is an absolute bonus. We have been eating there for 3 years but have slept at other accommodation because we were not aware that there are also overnight facilities. Will definitely do it again in the future. We just missed the ribs on the menu.

Heerlike verblyf.

Die verblyf is soos altyd, heerlik. Ruim smaakvolle ingerigte kamers met alles wat jy kan nodig kry. Groot sagte beddens met die beste linne na 'n lang reis. 'n Yskassie en koffie- en teestasie met 'n beskuitjie as jy wakker word met net die voëlgeluide om jou. En my man geniet sommer 'n paar voëlspesies in die agtertuin wat hy nie aldag sien in die stad nie.

Great stay.

The accommodation is, as always, wonderful. Spacious tastefully furnished rooms with everything you could possibly need. Big soft beds with the best linens after a long journey. A fridge and coffee and tea station with a biscuit when you wake up with only the sounds of birds around you. And my husband just enjoys some bird species in the back garden that he doesn't see everyday in the city.

Stil omgewing en toegerus met al die nodige. Skoon, maar die kwaliteit van die linne en handdoeke het aandag nodig.

Het heerlike etes geniet in die Blou Nartjie se restaurant. Flinke diens en goeie kos alhoewel dit baie besig was. Wooneenheid was netjies maar linne en handdoeke kort aandag. Eenhede grens met 'n deur aanmekaar en hou geen klank uit nie, maar kan gerieflik wees as 'n gesin daar sou tuisgaan en beide kamers bespreek. Vir vreemdelinge is dit egter nie so aangenaam nie.

Units are connected by a door and keep out no sound, but could be convenient if a family were to stay there and book both rooms. For foreigners, however, it is not so pleasant.

Heerlike kos, gasvry en boonop op baie netjies!

Aangename aankoms, ons het 'n lead gekort vir ons kamptrailer oor ons lead nie lank genoeg was nie. Die gasheer het met graagte vir ons een van hulle leads geleen wat lank genoeg was om ons trailer met ons kamer te verbind. Heerlik gebraai die aand, baie netjiese kamers met die skoonste handdoeke. Baie dankie vir al hulle moeite met ons. Ontbyt die volgende oggend was prima met ekstra persoonlike aandag, baie dankie mevrou! Na 'n lekker geselsie was ons weer op die groot pad op pad Elandsbaai toe. Sal julle beslis aanbeveel!

The host was happy to lend us one of their leads which was long enough to connect our trailer to our room. Delicious barbecue in the evening, very neat rooms with the cleanest towels. Thank you very much for all their efforts with us. Breakfast the next morning was great with extra personal attention, thank you very much ma'am! After a nice chat we were back on the main road on our way to Elands Bay. Would definitely recommend you guys!

A very good overnight stay when breaking up a long journey.

Die Blou Nartjie is an excellent stopover hotel, with good parking and is well placed in central Calvinia, a small town with plenty of history. Their restaurant is very good and therefore quite popular in the evenings, be sure to book.

Centrally located with a great little restaurant.

A clean and un-fussy spot close to the center of town. The restaurant has great steaks and lamb (definitely recommended) it’s just a pity the restaurant is not open on Sunday evenings. Breakfast was fresh, generous and tasty. The rooms are simple and clean and the beds were comfortable.

Die hoofgebou se geskiedenis, 'n ou Joodse sinagoge, strek vanaf die 1920's en is pragtig gerestoureer. Die ontbyt wat bedien is, was ook uitstekend!

We were welcomed with enthusiasm. Our room was clean, neat and tidy. Ideal for a stay over. Although the restaurant section was closed it looked homely and comfy for a meal. Nice facilities for sitting outside and relaxing. We felt relaxed and safe in this environment. Well located within walking distance from several alternative restaurants.

Baie mooi eenhede wat baie goed onderhou word.

Die akkommodasie was baie mooi, skoon en netjies. Die area waar dit geleë is, is ook baie stil en rustig. Ons was egter net teleurgesteld dat die restaurant nie oop was nie aangesien ek spesifiek die bespreking by hulle gemaak het omdat hulle 'n restaurant op die perseel gehad het. Blykbaar was dit toe vir verbeteringe, maar ek het die bespreking reeds op 1 Julie gemaak so daar was heelwat tyd gewees om ons in kennis te stel dat hulle beplan om dit in Desember op te knap. Ek kon dan 'n ander bespreking gedoen het. Hoewel daar agter die eenheid 'n braai beskikbaar was, is daar nie enige eetgerei op opwasgeriewe in die eenheid nie so ons het toe maar die aand net van die versnaperinge wat ons oorgehad het in die motor gehad vir aandete.

Very nice units that are very well maintained.

The accommodation was very nice, clean and tidy. The area where it is located is also very quiet and peaceful. However, we were only disappointed that the restaurant was not open as I specifically made the reservation with them because they had a restaurant on site. Apparently it was for improvements then, but I had already made the reservation on July 1st so there was plenty of time to inform us that they were planning to renovate it in December. I could have made a different reservation then. Although there was a braai available behind the unit, there isn't any cutlery on washing up facilities in the unit so we only had some of the snacks we had left in the car for dinner that night.

Was netjies en skoon, maar nie uitstaande nie.

Was netjies, maar beddegoed was stukkend, gaatjies in, ook koffie te min in die kamers vir 2 gaste. Ons het elke aand 2 koffiepakkies en een teesakkie gekry, nie eers koffie en melk vir volgende oggend nie. Dit was so met albei aande wat ons daar oorgeslaap het.

Was clean, but bedding was broken, holes in it, also too little coffee in the rooms for 2 guests. We got 2 coffee packets and one tea bag every night, not even coffee and milk for next morning. It was like that on both nights we stayed there.

Die Blou Nartjie het in alle opsigte al ons verwagtinge oorskrei met die hartlike Hantam-ontvangs en gerieflike akkommodasie.

Ons beveel die Blou Nartjie met vrymoedigheid aan. Die hoofgebou is 'n juweel met pragtige outentieke houtkosyne en vensterbanke wat smaakvol tot die oorspronklike glorie gerestoureer is. Die personeel is hartlik en deurgaans professioneel en die kos was presies waarvoor ons lus was: smaaklike Karoodisse. Ons sal dit beslis ons voorkeur gastehuis maak vir alle toekomstige besoeke aan Calvinia.

The staff are cordial and professional throughout and the food was exactly what we were craving: tasty Karoodisses. We will definitely make this our preferred guest house for all future visits to Calvinia.

We enjoyed the quiet restful atmosphere, clean room, good food and typical Northern Cape hospitality.

On our way to attend a funeral in Upington we were fortunate to find a vacancy at Die Blou Nartjie. The reception was good, the room very clean and comfortable and the meals excellent. The kitchen and cleaning staff were so friendly and polite, I commented to my husband that this was typical of Northern Cape hospitality - nothing was too much trouble. On the return journey we spent the night there again, and were received as old friends.Thank you all.

Die verblyf was netjies en skoon.

Ons ontvangs by die Blou Nartjie was gasvry. Die etes wat bedien word is waarlik waarde vir geld en meer as genoeg en smaaklik voorberei. Die bestuur sowel as die werkers is altyd vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Ons sal die Blou Nartjie regtig aanbeveel by enige persoon wat deur Calvinia moet reis.

Netjies, veilig, vriendelik en lekker geëet.

Die Blou Naartjie is 'n oase in Calvinia. Kamers is skoon en veilig, herehuis is mooi en stylvol en die diens goed. Alles wat 'n mens verwag van so 'n gastehuis. En die kombuis en ete - beide aandete (wat voor die tyd bestel is) sowel as die ontbyt was uitstekend. 'n Goeie plek om te oornag!

Gemaklike verblyf met vriendelike en hulpvaardige personeel.

Die kamers is gemaklik en goed toegerus. Personeel is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die restaurant bedien smaaklike etes teen pryse aan die hoër kant. Wanneer die restaurant vol is, is die wagtyd vir bestellings nogal lank.

Comfy accommodation and friendly, helpful staff.

The rooms are comfy and well equipped. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The restaurant serves delicious, yet pricey meals. When the restaurant is full the waiting period after you order is quite long.

Wonderlike Hantam-gasvryheid.

Martha het ons baie vriendelik ontvang en ons die kamers gegee al was ons voor inboektyd daar. Ons het die aand by die restaurant geëet en was aangenaam verras met uitstekende kos. Ook die ontbyt was voortreflik. Sal die eetplek sterk aanbeveel.

Goeie, bekostigbare verblyf.

Verblyf in die Blou Nartjie was bekostigbaar en heel aangenaam. Pluspunte is die restaurant op die perseel wat heerlike kos voorberei. Die enigste ding wat gepla het is klankdemping / deur tussen eenhede wat langs mekaar is en die bure se gesprekke is heel steurend aangehoor.

Good, affordable accommodation.

Accommodation in Die Blou Nartjie was affordable and lovely. Delicious food at the restaurant on the premises. The only issue we had was the noise levels, the walls don't block out the noise so you hear what your neighbours say, which is a nuisance.

Dis 'n mooi plek, net te duur vir wat jy kry.

Mense is vriendelik, maar nie ingestel op diens. Ons het gevra vir 'n wegneem-ontbyt weens 'n vroeë vertrek die volgende oggend. Ons wag nou nog vir die ontbyt of komminukasie van hul af.

It's a nice place, just too expensive for what you get.

People are friendly, but not service minded. We asked for a takeaway breakfast due to an early departure the next morning. We are still waiting for the breakfast or communication from them.

Ons het baie lekker gebly.

Ons het ons verblyf baie geniet en die kamers was goed toegerus, pynlik netjies en pragtig versier. Die yskassie in die kamer het ook handig te pas gekom aangesien ons op pad was Kgalagadi toe en bederfbare kos by ons gehad het. Die aandete het bietjie lank gevat, maar die kos was heerlik. Sal definitief weer daar gaan bly!

We had a very nice stay.

We really enjoyed our stay and the rooms were well equipped, painstakingly neat and beautifully decorated. The small fridge in the room also came in handy as we were on our way to Kgalagadi and had perishable food with us. The dinner took a little long, but the food was delicious. Will definitely stay there again!
