Fantasties!

Ons het van meet af goeie diens gekry. Die kamers was toegerus met alles wat ons gedurende ons verblyf kon nodig kry. Alles was skoon en netjies. Gene het uit haar pad gegaan om vir ons 'n kamer gereed te kry omdat ons vroeër wou intrek om vir 'n funksie gereed te maak. Sy het ook ons sleepwaentjie akkommodeer en seker gemaak dat dit veilig geparkeer was. Die gastehuis se bestuurder was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons sal beslis weer daar oorbly!

Fantastic!

We received good service from the start. The rooms were equipped with everything we could need during our stay. Everything was clean and tidy. Gene went out of her way to get a room ready for us as we wanted to move in earlier to get ready for a function. She also accommodated our trailer and made sure it was parked safely. The guest house's manager was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay there again!

Sal genies nest aanbeveel.

Ons sal Genie's Nest aanbeveel. Ons moes vroeër ons goed gaan aflaai met 'n troue wat ons daar naby gehad het en die gasheer het nie 'n probleem daarmee gehad nie. Hulle was nog besig om ons plekkie skoon te maak. Ons kan glad nie kla oor die plek nie. Ek wil dalk net onder julle aandag bring dat 'n mens reg deur die wit gordyne kan sien as die lig aan of af is in die aand. Ons het in die badkamertjie gaan aantrek. Toilet sitplek was los, dalk net vasdraai. Daar was ook 'n groep jong kuiergaste wat reg by die swembad gesit en gekuier het, wat ons tot laat toe kon hoor. Ons kamer was by die swembad. Nie eienaar se skuld nie, maar dalk na die tyd kyk om 'n sekere tyd as jy by die swembad wil kuier toe te laat. Toe hulle gaan slaap was alles rustig. Dankie dat ons daar kon oorslaap en veilig voel.

Would recommend genius nest.

We would recommend Genie's Nest. We had to drop off our stuff earlier with a wedding we had nearby and the host didn't have a problem with that. They were still cleaning our place. We can't fault the place at all. I might just want to bring to your attention that one can see right through the white curtains when the light is on or off in the evening. We changed in the bathroom. Toilet seat was loose, maybe just tightened. There was also a group of young visitors sitting and hanging out right by the pool, which we could hear until late. Our room was by the pool. Not owner's fault, but maybe look at the time to allow a certain time if you want to visit the pool. When they went to sleep everything was peaceful. Thank you for allowing us to sleep there and feel safe.

Baie tevrede.

Ek het die plekkie vir my ouers bespreek wat na Steve Biko moes gaan. Hulle was baie tevrede met die netheid en diens. Die skoonmaakdame was so behulpsaam en vriendelik. Ons wil haar net weereens dankie se. Die ligging is ook baie naby aan winkels en die hospitaal. Hulle was ook baie tegemoedkomend en ons het dit baie waardeer om te weet mens het hartsmense te doen. Dankie ook aan die webtuiste vir die spoedige diens.

I booked the place for my parents who had to go to Steve Biko. They were very satisfied with the cleanliness and service. The cleaning lady was so helpful and friendly.

They were also very accommodating and we really appreciated knowing that you are dealing with people of heart. Thanks also to the website for the prompt service.

Heerlike skoon toegeruste eenheid.

Heerlik gebly, die eenheid is skoon en goed toegerus met alles wat jy benodig. Heerlike skoon swembad met goed toegeruste buite braai area. Enigste punt wat kon verbeter, is dat die yskas nie voor ons aankoms aangeskakel was nie, dus kon ons nie dadelik ons bederfbare kos koud hou nie.

Lovely clean equipped unit.

Had a great stay, the unit is clean and well equipped with everything you need. Lovely clean swimming pool with well equipped outdoor braai area. Only point that could be improved is that the fridge was not switched on before our arrival, so we could not immediately keep our perishable food cold.

Heerlik, skoon en baie gemaklik.

Ons het oornag-akkomodasie gesoek vir 'n funksie wat ons in Pretoria bygewoon het. Genie's Nest het aan al ons vereistes voldoen en nogal teen 'n baie goeie prys. Alhoewel ons die baie tyd by die akkommodasie spandeer het nie, was die tyd daar baie gemaklik. Die kamers is baie smaakvol toegerus met alles wat mens wil hê. Baie skoon en netjies. Kamers 2, 3, 4 kyk uit oor die swembad waar nr. 1 bietjie "weg" teen die kant is, maar oor die algemeen, baie, baie lekker.

We were looking for overnight accommodation for a function we attended in Pretoria. Genie's Nest met all our requirements and quite at a very good price. Although we did not spend much time at the accommodation, the time there was very comfortable. The rooms are very tastefully equipped with everything you could want. Very clean and tidy. Rooms 2, 3, 4 overlook the pool where no. 1 is a little "off" on the side, but overall, very, very nice.

Netjies, skoon en toeganklik.

Ons was aangenaam verras met ons verblyf by Genies Nest, veral gegewe die bekostigbaarheid van die akkomodasie. Ek sal wél voorstel dat hul hul kontakbesonderhede op Google opdateer, aangesien ons die verkeerde nommer gehad het en gesukkel het om hul in die hande te kry. Parkering was 'n uitdaging, aangesien ons met 'n waentjie gereis het (as verblyf vol geboek is, sal daar nie genoeg parkeerplek wees nie). Top verblyf en diens, nietemin!

Neat, clean and accessible.

We were pleasantly surprised with our stay at Genies Nest, especially given the affordability of the accommodation. I would suggest that they update their contact details on Google as we had the wrong number and had trouble getting hold of them. Parking was a challenge as we traveled with a pram (if accommodation is fully booked there won't be enough parking). Top accommodation and service, nonetheless!

Genie's Nest 1.

Baie netjies, groot kamers en gemaklik, veilig, goeie ligging met eetgerei, yskas, mikrogolf en dubbelbed. Enigste nadeel is geen internet tydens "load shedding" nie, so addisionele reëling moes getref word om op 'n ander plek te kon werk tydens die 2 ure. Internetkwaliteit is ook redelik swak en beter toerusting en 'n sterker/beter Wi-Fi-sein sou ideaal gewees het.

Genie's Nest 1.

Very tidy, large rooms and comfortable, safe, good location with cutlery, fridge, microwave and double bed. Only downside is no internet during "load shedding", so additional arrangements had to be made to be able to work in another location during the 2 hours. Internet quality is also quite poor and better equipment and a stronger/better Wi-Fi signal would have been ideal.

Geen aircon, geen sekuriteitshek by kamer.

Die braaigeriewe baie swak, braaiers is deurgeroes, geen braaitange, geen bakke om vleis te marineer nie. Kamer baie warm, net 'n fan op die vloer, agv geen sekuriteitsdeur, kan die deur nie oopgelos word nie gedurende loadshedding nie. Handdoeke was nooit geruil nie. Wasbak in kombuis is baie klein. Geen gif vir miere nie. Moes vra vir toiletpapier. Nee wat sal nie weer daar tuisgaan nie.

BAie dankie vir u terugvoer.
So jammer dat daar nie "aircon" is nie. Definitief sal die prys heelwat meer moes wees vir eenheid met "aircon"
Jammer dat ons plekkie nie geskik was vir u nie.
Omdat dit nie 'n permanente eenheid is nie, het ons nog nooit klagtes gehad oor die klein wasbak, dis 'n oornag plekkie, so volgende keer moet u 'n woonstel aanvra.
So jammer u moes vir toiletpapier vra.
Miere is maar hierdie tyd van die jaar 'n probleem, en ons spuit definitief, maar kan definitief nie gif in die kamer los nie.
Hoop u kry regtig baie beter geriewe volgende keer, en weereens jammer vir u slegte ervaring by ons.

Toegangsdeur tot eenheid se slot was uitgewerk en kon nie sluit nie. Oor die algemeen billik vir die prys.

Die posisie was goed geleë vir die doel van ons reis. Die eenheid was billik. Die kragopwekker vir beurtkrag was in swak toestand (erg gerook en swart roet oor die voertuie geblaas). Dit kon ook nie in die gebou se behoeftes voorsien nie en het afgeskakel na 55 min in 4 uur se beurtkrag. Die parkering was ongelukkig baie beperk en net geskik vir klein voertuie. Fortuners, dubbelkajuitbakkies gaan probleme hê.

Access door to unit lock was worked out and could not lock. Overall fair for the price.

The position was well located for the purpose of our trip. The unit was fair. The generator for load shedding was in poor condition (smoky badly and black soot blown over the vehicles). It also could not meet the building's needs and shut down after 55 min in 4 hours of load shedding. The parking was unfortunately very limited and only suitable for small vehicles. Fortuners, double cab vans are going to have problems.

Ek is so jammer dat u so slegte ervaring gehad het. Ja, beurtkrag is maar oor die hele Suid Afrika, so ons almal is gedompel in dieselfde situasie.

Indien die generator gebreek het tydens die beurtkrag, is dit regtig nie met opset gedoen, maar bloot iets buite ons beheer.

Parkering is nie 'n probleem as daar net reg parkeer word.

Weereens jammer en hoop u kan 'n 5 ster verblyf kry volgende keer.

Lekker dag

A comfortable gem in the heart of a busy street.

So much value in a tiny bottle. Compact, with everything you need and more. Firm bed, and spotless linen. All the little things you get in a luxury hotel room. At least there was double ply toiletpaper. Loved the coffee mugs that change colour with heat. Only complaint was the wifi was a bit unstable, no coat hangers and the busy street.

Clean, friendly, helpful, the estra goes the extra mile with their guests.

We were late. We let the hostess know, she arranged for us to open up, the place was clean, tidy, coffee, tea, powdered milk in the kettle meant a lot to us. A clean, hot shower. Good bed and a good night's rest. In the morning, ehk asked for help with his car and in no time our guest wife sent someone. Thank you very much for the extra, we were truly blessed with the extra mile. Genie's Nest I would recommend to any visitor, there is style here.

Oorslaapplek. Dis die regte plek.

Hierdie plek word beslis aanbeveel. Alles binne was luuks en dis beslis 'n plek vir enige persoon of man en vrou om te oornag of om vir die week daar te bly. As ek ooit weer Pretoria toe kom sal ek hierdie plek beslis eerste weer kom opsoek. Baie sentraal geleë en ek kon vandaar af weer maklik op die N4 (of N1) snelweg klim op pad huistoe.

Overnight stay. It's the right place.

This place is definitely recommended. Everything inside was luxurious and it's definitely a place for any person or man and woman to spend the night or to stay there for the week. If I ever come to Pretoria again I will definitely visit this place again. Very centrally located and from there I could easily get on the N4 (or N1) highway on the way home.

Baie netjies en mooi met 'n kragopwekker sodat ons nooit sonder krag gesit het nie. Altyd gewillig om te help.

Lekker kamers en 'n goeie kuierarea. Nooit sonder krag gewees nie en was altyd gehelp as daar enige vrae, ens. was. Hulle het selfs ons klere gewas en seker gemaak die geriewe is elke dag skoon en netjies.

Netjiese, gerieflike sakpasverblyf.

Die kamer was baie goed toegerus, met klein ekstra detailtjies soos kleurveranderende koppies met Genie's Nest se embleem op. Die beddegoed is effense laer kwaliteit as standaard hotellinne, maar dit was wit en skoon en warm genoeg vir 'n koue wintersnag. Die parkering is beperkend klein en minder geskik vir groot voertuie. Oor die algemeen 'n gerieflike verblyf.

Neat, comfortable pocket-sized accommodation.

The room was very well appointed, with little extra details such as color changing cups with Genie's Nest's emblem on them. The bedding is slightly lower quality than standard hotel linen, but it was white and clean and warm enough for a cold winter's night. The parking is restrictively small and less suitable for large vehicles. Overall a comfortable stay.

Goeie dag

So jammer vir u slegte ondervinding.

Die "elektriese draad" waarvan u praat, was inderdaad 'n draad van die sambreel wat 'n gas die vorige aand gebruik het.

So jammer dat ons plekkie nie geskik was vir u nie.

Baie aangenaam, baie goed toegerus. Alles wat mens nodig het vir 'n kort oorbly.

Die persoon wat ons ontvang het kon miskien haar selfoon eenkant gesit het toe sy ons ontvang het. Die kombuis, badkamer asook slaapgeriewe wat baie goed. Ons het dit ook geniet om buite langs die swembad middagete te eet. Goeie waarde vir geld.

Baie netjiese kamer, baie groot TV met alle kanale, uiters swak ontvangsdame wat nie kommunikeer.

Die kaste het nie klerehangers nie, geen bankie/tafel waarop jy jou koffer/kleresak kan neersit nie, geen vuillisblik in kombuis. Die ontvangsdame se swak kommunikasie en baie lang gesukkel om kamer se sleutel te kry en deure oop te maak, terwyl ons moet staan en wag, het ons amper weer laat ry om 'n ander blyplek te soek. Daar is geen naam van die oorblyplek vanaf die straat of aan die voorkant van die huis nie.

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

Very neat room, very big TV with all channels, extremely poor receptionist who does not communicate.

The cupboards do not have clothes hangers, no bench/table on which you can put your suitcase/clothes bag, no dustbin in kitchen. The receptionist's poor communication and very long struggle to get the room key and open doors, while we have to stand and wait, almost made us drive again to look for another place to stay. There is no name of the residence from the street or from the front of the house.
