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!

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.
Vriendelike Groete

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

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

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.

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

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.

Well received and everything was as we expected.
The main building's history, an old Jewish synagogue, dates back to the 1920s and has been beautifully restored. The breakfast served was also excellent!

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 neat and clean, but not outstanding.
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.

The Blue Nartjie exceeded all our expectations in all respects with the warm Hantam welcome and comfortable accommodation.
We recommend the Blue Nartjie with confidence. The main building is a gem with beautiful authentic wooden frames and window sills that have been tastefully restored to their original glory. 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.
