Was very nice.

The place is nice, safe, and clean; only the swimming pool was very dirty. Breakfast was huge but the same menu every day.

Fiddlers Rest 's response

Thank you for your feedback, Nomaphelo. Fiddlers Rest offers a full English breakfast consisting of bacon, sausages, eggs (cooked the way the guest prefers) as well as 2 sides e.g. avo, tomato, hash browns, mushrooms etc., toast, selection of jams, juice, fruit salad made with seasonal fruit, a choice of 4 cereals and tea or coffee. We also accommodate guests with special dietary requirements such as vegetarians etc.
Regrettably, we were struggling with leaves blowing into the pool while you were here.

Heerlike, rustige en veilige verblyf.

It was absolutely wonderful. I felt right at home and very safe. I was greeted at the door every night, I was served the most delicious breakfasts every morning. My room was clean and neat with everything I needed and I got a little treat every day, thank you. It was really a wonderful experience. Ek het alleen gereis en was op kursus en het regtig veilig gevoel, kon rustig slaap en is bederf met 'n heerlike ontbyt. Florida Road is baie interessant en naby asook die Kingspark Stadion en swembad.

My room was clean and neat with everything I needed and I got a little treat every day, thank you. It was really a wonderful experience. I traveled alone and was on course and felt really safe, could sleep peacefully and was spoiled with a delicious breakfast. Florida Road is very interesting and close as well as the Kingspark Stadium and swimming pool.

I enjoyed a quiet restful stay.

Our rooms were comfortable and clean. Our hosts were helpful and friendly, and our breakfasts were delicious. The shower was a bit difficult to get into, but otherwise plenty of pressure.

Awesome.

Ons het in die gesinsgastekamer gebly. Die hoofslaapkamer is besonders. Die ander kamer het geen kaste of waaier nie. Daar is 'n stoep wat aangebou is en baie baie warm word. Tydens aankoms was daar geen water in die yskas nie, geen vriendelike kroeg nie. Na 7 ure se ry sou 'n koue water baie welkom wees. Die aircon werk nie behoorlik nie. Ontbyt was van 5-ster gehalte. Overall sal ek dit definitief aanbeveel as hulle die klein tekortkominge regstel.

Awesome.

We stayed in the family guest room. The master bedroom is special. The other room has no cupboards or fan. There is a porch that has been attached and gets very very hot. On arrival there was no water in the fridge, no friendly bar. After 7 hours of driving, a cold water would be very welcome. The aircon does not work properly. Breakfast was of 5-star quality. Overall I would definitely recommend it if they fix the small flaws.

Thank you for booking with Fiddlers Rest. This was a last-minute booking and you requested an early check in because the accommodation you were previously staying in at Oribi Gorge did not have water. We accommodated your request. There is always cold, purified water in a thermos jug next to the drinking glasses on the hospitality tray. There should have definitely been a fan in the second room, and I sincerely apologise for this oversight. We always aim to please at Fiddlers Rest and wish that you had requested water or a fan which we could easily have pointed to or provided, so that you may have had a more enjoyable stay. Kind regards,

Lilian/Manager

Dit staan in die antwoorde.

Ja. Hulle het solar dus nie 'n probleem met loadshedding nie. Die ontbyt was heerlik en oorgenoeg. Vars vrugte opgesny en 'n groot verskeidenheid. Joghurt. Verskeie ontbytgraan en ook 'n vol warm ontbyt.

It is in the answers.

Yes. So they don't have a problem with load shedding. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Fresh fruit cut up and a large variety. Yogurt. Various breakfast cereals and also a full hot breakfast.

Dit is rerig lekker en naby baie kosplekke.

Die mense is amzing en die plek is net so lekker. Was baie maklik om in en te uit te kom en die ontbyt was baie meer as wat ek verwag het. Ek sal enige tyd weer gaan.

Gerieflike verblyf in 'n stil omgewing.

Goeie opsie vir 'n sakereisiger wat gerieflike verblyf benodig in 'n sentrale omgewing met 'n aangename ontbyt ingesluit.

10 out of 10 and a safe environment close to all the eat places.

When I choose a place to rest, I look for clean linen and a comfortable room. I was impressed and very happy thank you.

Gerieflik en veilig.

My Fiddlers Rest verblyf was lieflik. Die ligging is veilig en die kothuis is in 'n pragtige groentuin geleë. Die eienaars is baie vriendelik en die kothuis was perfek ingerig en gerieflik, met alles wat jy mag nodig kry.

Convenient and safe.

My Fiddlers Rest stay was lovely. The location is safe and the cottage is situated in a beautiful green garden. The owners are very friendly and the cottage was perfectly furnished and comfortable, with everything you might need.

Home away from home.

Beautiful home offering old-world charm set in a very peaceful garden. Our unit was very comfortable and spotlessly clean and met all our needs. Breakfast was delicious and our hosts were very accommodating. Will definitely stay here again when visiting Durban.

The friendliest host. The place is really clean and tidy. And you can sleep with ease. Total security. God bless this place and the people in it.
