Baie lekker en aangenaam gewees.

Was nog altyd 'n droom om op Merweville te gaan kuier. Baie dankie, Brian, vir die ontvangs en vriendelikheid. Ons het baie lekker oorgeslaap en sal beslis weer kom hallo sê.

Gemaklik, skoon en netjies.

Ons het die verblyf by Die Ou Winkeltjie baie geniet. Brian het ons hartlik verwelkom. Alles was skoon en netjies en voorsien alles wat nodig is in die kombuis. Ons het heerlike warm roosterkoek om die draai gekoop vir ontbyt. Die restaurant het 16:00 al toegemaak, so maak maar seker om gereed te wees om self aandete te voorsien.

Comfortable, clean and tidy.

We really enjoyed our stay at Die Ou Winkeltjie. Brian gave us a warm welcome. Everything was clean and tidy and provided everything needed in the kitchen. We bought delicious warm toasted cake around the corner for breakfast. The restaurant has already closed at 16:00, so make sure to be ready to provide dinner yourself.

Baie oulike en netjiese verblyf. Sal dit hoog aanbeveel.

Daar is nie WiFi nie, so maak maar die nodige voorsiening. Daar is nou wel nie n lessenaar in die kamer nie maar die kombuis het n lekker tafel en counter top. Die counter top is ook naby n kragpunt en lekker om op te werk. Daar is braaigeriewe en baie lekker om te braai op 'n vars Karoo aandjie. Sal daarvan gehou het as die kombuisdeur 'n staldeur tipe was sodat ons die boonste deur kon oop los. Ek sal enige tyd weer daar oorslaap. Pragtig en netjies en Brian is 'n uitstekende gasheer.

Very cute and neat accommodation. Would highly recommend it.

There is no WiFi, so make the necessary arrangements. There is no desk in the room, but the kitchen has a nice table and counter top. The counter top is also close to a power point and nice to work on. There are braai facilities and it's very nice to braai on a fresh Karoo evening. Would have liked if the kitchen door was a barn door type so we could leave the top door open. I would stay there again anytime. Beautiful and tidy and Brian is an excellent host.

Die Ou Winkeltjie 's response

Noted Wim. Die Ou Winkeltjie was never advertised with DStv and most visitors to the Karoo prefer to sit outside by the braai area and look at the stars. Further, you would have noticed that it is not possible to add mosquito screens to the windows due to the way they open and the position of the latches and catches. However there was a bug and mosquito spray in the kitchen cupboard, perhaps you missed it.

A very pleasant stay in a very quiet, clean and pleasant environment.

I had never been to Merweville before and so I had no preconceived ideas or expectations of either the town or accommodation. I was very pleasantly surprised on both counts. There is not a lot to see or do but for me it’s part of the charm of a small Karoo town. There are no bright lights or restaurants so bring what you need and enjoy the ambiance. My accommodation was just perfect for my needs and is an ideal stay for a couple. The bedroom and bathroom with a bath and a shower was great and a well appointed kitchen just begs you to self cater.

Ons het baie lekker gebly by die Ou Winkeltjie in Merweville. Hierdie was my 3de besoek aan Merweville en ons 1ste besoek aan die Ou Winkeltjie. Brian was baie gaaf en behulpsaam. Die verblyf was uitstekend, netjies en skoon. Die huis het al die nodige geriewe gehad. Al wat die huisie dalk gekort het was 'n braaitang vir hout omdraai en 'n buitelig vir die braai.

Baie netjiese, tradisionele Karoo-huisie.

Hierdie ou gebou is pas gerestoureer. Dit is baie gerieflik en ek het die bed heerlik gemaklik gevind. Die meubels en fasiliteite is uitstekend. Brian was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ek sal net aanraai dat daar nog 'n lamp en nog 'n mat in die sitkamer aangebring word. Geen TV of DStv nie, maar ek het die stilte geniet.

Pragtige plek met alles wat jy nodig het.

Merwewille was 'n aangename verrassing. Die eenheid het alles wat nodig is. Miskien 'n spieël by 'n kragpunt om hare droog te blaas kan goed wees. Dit was baie warm en die muskiete het ons amper weggedra, maar die pragtige omgewing maak dat 'n mens daarvan vergeet. Brian deel waardevolle inligting en beleef ons a.g.v. daarvan 'n pragtige sonsondergang en 'n asemrowende volmaan bo vanaf die berg. Dankie Brian, dit is vir ewig in ons geheue.
