Excellent.

Driftwood Cottage was a perfect stopover for my daughter, her friend, and me. The place was exceptionally clean with unexpected extras such as drinking water, milk, etc. We will not hesitate to book again in the future.

Baie mooi binne, skoon en netjies.

Al wat moontlik bygesit kan word, is 'n braai tang en 'n braai staander vir die wat wel wil braai, ons het dit gemis. Verder regtig uitstekende verblyf en omgewing.

Aangenaam.

Gasvrou baie moeilik om te kontak. Verskeie oproepe en boodskappe gelos sonder sukses. Sy het ook baie erg aangedring op 'n inkloktyd, vroegoggend reeds. Ons was op pad sonder haas en stop soos en wanneer ons iets interessant sien. Ons mikpunt was bloot om voor 17h00 te arriveer. Ons het ook geen idee van padtoestande nie en die erge aandrang om 'n spesifieke aankomstyd te gee, was totaal ongevraag. Ons het bloot toevallig vir die 3de keer by die blyplek gekom en haar toe daar gevind net toe sy weer in haar voertuig wou klim. Steeds sonder om op enige van ons boodskappe te reageer. As dit nie daarvoor was nie, sou ons alternatiewe slaapplek moes vind.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Pleasant.

Hostess very difficult to contact. Several calls and messages left with no success. She also insisted on a check-in, early in the morning. We were on our way without feeling rushed and like stopping when and where we like along the way if we see something interesting. Our goal was to arrive before 17:00. We also had no idea of the condition of the road conditions and the request to provide a specific arrival time was totally unsolicited. We stumbled upon this place on the third try and found her only as she was getting into her vehicle again without responding to any of our messages once again. If it weren't for that, we would have found alternative accommodation.

Ek is so jammer dat ons oproepe mekaar gemis het, ek wonder of julle my nommer reg gehad het. Al rede dat ek min of meer wou weet wanneer julle beplan het om te arriveer , was om julle daar te kan ontvang. Ek het 5 keer gebel sowel as 'n SMS gestuur en niks van julle terug gekry nie. Ek het vir 2 ure by die huis gewag. Nogmaals jammer vir die misverstand.

Ons was aangenaam verras. Dis prentjiemooi en die linne is van 5-ster gehalte. My 2 viervoetjies was veilig en dit is rystoelvriendelik. Enigste nadeel. Ons het net 1 nag oorgeslaap, dit was te kort. Thanks Sally, love the sweeties. Sal weer gaan vir langer.

Dit was 'n heerlike ruskans, blaaskans met 'n gasvrou wat jou op die hande dra.

Dit was 'n onvergeetlike vakansie-ervaring en die gasvrou, Mev Claassen het uit haar pad gegaan om ons tuis te laat voel en gerieflik te kon kuier. Ons sal definitief weer by Frangipani House gaan kuier.
