Netjiese, skoon en ruim kamer.

Genoeg pakplek en vriendelike personeel. Ons elektriese warm kombers was aangesit asook die verwarmer in die kamer. Ons het laat by die gastehuis opgedaag in die koue, en dit was fantasties om in 'n lekker skoon, netjiese en warm blyplek in te stap.

Love dit daar!

Die mooiste plek met die vriendelikste personeel, Tannie Sybil is so mooi mensie sy het ons baie tuis laat voel, was eintlik hartseer om te groet! Was my derde keer daar, gaan vir seker weer daar bly! Al raad wat ek kan gee is vat 'n badmatjie saam die bad is bietjie glad!

We spent just one night whilst driving en route from Knysna to Hoedspruit.

Travelling in two heavily loaded cars. Needed secure parking. Two couples. Searched and chose this. We were greeted very warmly by Sybil who looked after our every need and the owner popped in to tell us the history of the house. We give the house and our hosts top marks.

'n Pragtige plek met 'n puik gasvrou!

Gelukkig het die gasvrou ons tegemoet gekom: daar was nie water nie, wat dit regtig baie ongerieflik gemaak het! Dit het gereën en dit was koud en na 'n lang rit wil mens darem kan stort. Ek het ook familiekamer bespreek volgens my bespreking, maar volgens hulle het ek 'n kamer met twee enkelbeddens bespreek.

A beautiful place with a great hostess!

Fortunately, the hostess came to meet us: there was no water, which made it really very inconvenient! It was raining and it was cold and after a long drive you at least want to be able to shower. I also booked family room according to my reservation but according to them I booked a room with two single beds.

Baie dankie Altie en Rory vir julle positiewe terugvoer en ons vra net weer onverskoning vir die ongerief!
Dis baie sleg dat die munisipaliteit nie water vir die dorp lewer nie, en alhoewel ons 'n tank geinstalleer het om altyd water vir ons gaste beskikbaar te hê, het die elektriesiteit onderbreking tydens die storm ons water pomp verhoed om te werk!
Ons het ook na julle kommentaar die kamer beskrywings verbeter op die besprekings platform, dankie dat julle dit uitlig.

Fantastiese verblyf in 'n pragtige gastehuis!

Ons het so lekker gebly in Gibson Place. Die kamers is pragtig met uitstekende kwaliteit beddens en linne. Die ontbyt was voortreflik. Ons het na die tyd nog so heerlik om die kombuistafel gekuier - dit het soos Ouma se kombuis gevoel. Ek kan net dink hoe kan mens in die winter om daardie Aga stoof kuier. Net ietsie wat my wel opgeval het, is dat die vloere seepglad is. Dit mag dalk 'n veiligheidsrisiko inhou. Ons familie waardeer al die moeite en as ons ooit weer slaapplek in Vrede nodig het, is Gibson Place ons eerste keuse!

Fantastic stay in a beautiful guest house!

We had such a great stay in Gibson Place. The rooms are beautiful with excellent quality beds and linen. The breakfast was excellent. After the time, we still had such a wonderful time around the kitchen table - it felt like Grandma's kitchen. I can only imagine how one can hang around that Aga stove in the winter. Only thing that I did notice is that the floors are soapy. This may pose a security risk. Our family appreciates all the effort and if we ever need a place to sleep in Vrede again, Gibson Place is our first choice!

Just not a happy place.

Lack of maintenance. Loo didn't work and cistern leaked noisily all night. Shower curtain torn. Owner/manager left us alone all night as she doesn't live on premises. We had to go into kitchen to make our early morning tea and dishes from previous night still stacked on sink! Not worth the money.
