Dit was 'n aangename blyplekkie weg van ons huis, met alles wat ons nodig gehad!

Baie dankie vir 'n baie aangename verblyf in die Stellar kamers. Dit was baie aangename en ruim kamers, met alles wat jy nodig het. Gee bietjie aandag aan die parkering (wat bietjie nou is vir SUV's en bakkies) en dit gaan 'n baie nice plek wees!

It was a pleasant place to stay away from home, with everything we needed!

Thank you very much for a very pleasant stay in the Stellar rooms. They were very pleasant and spacious rooms, with everything you need. Pay some attention to the parking (which is a bit narrow for SUVs and vans) and it will be a very nice place!

Lovely.

We were only there for one night, but had a lovely sleepover. The manager upgraded us to one of their stellar apartments, which was great. The room was big, neat and clean. Will definitely go back. The shower head needs replacing.

Als wat nodig is vir 'n kort verblyf.

Baie goed geleë, het voorstelle gemaak op hul lys wat hul voorsien het wat ek glo hul positief kan beïnvloed. Oor die algemeen 'n goeie oornagplek.

Redelik standaard en ontvangs was maar flou. Nie regtig veilig gevoel nie.

Die verblyf was skoon en netjies, maar glad nie soos geadverteer nie. WiFi het nie gewerk nie. Sekuriteit was 'n bekommernis. Daar was 'n hekwag toe ons 18h00 daar aangekom het, maar het hom nooit weer gesien nie. Moes die aand toe ons ry om te gaan kos kry en die volgende oggend, self die hek oopmaak (geen remote). Glad nie 'n lekker ervaring in die donker in 'n dorp wat ons nie ken nie. Weet nie eers of hulle die hek sluit in die aand nie.

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

Fairly standard and reception was lackluster. Not really feeling safe.

The accommodation was clean and tidy, but not at all as advertised. WiFi didn't work. Security was a concern. There was a gate guard when we got there at 18h00, but never saw him again. Had to drive the night to get food and the next morning, open the gate myself (no remote). Not a nice experience at all in the dark in a town we don't know. Don't even know if they lock the gate in the evening.

Indien daar enige misleidende advertensies was, laat ons asseblief weet sodat ons dit kan regstel. Soms word eenhede herorganiseer vir die gerief van ons gaste. Geen klagtes is ontvang van die ander 50 gaste met betrekking tot die WiFi wat nie werk nie; indien daar was, sou ons dadelik daarna gekyk het. Gedurende die naweek was daar 'n sekuriteitsfirma, PRSS, in diens wat toesig gehou het, en hulle het die hek slegs handmatig gesluit as 'n vriendelike guns. Die hekke is nie outomaties nie en sluit tussen 22:00 en 06:00. Tans handhaaf ons 'n drie-ster-standaard en ons streef na opgradering teen billike tariewe.

Vriendelike groete

We had a marvelous family holiday. The property is situated in a very convenient area where it is easy to reach Forever Resort as well as the shopping malls.

Rooms are specious and neat. Linen also taken good care of. The only thing that needs attention is provision of a mini stove for breakfast preparations in the Stella apartments where I was staying. Security and staff members especially the office ladies, they are always available for any assistance needed. The place is a Home away from Home, thumbs up for every staff member at the property.

It was not what we expected.

The workers sleep above the room in which we stayed. During the evening you could hear them talking and moving things around. It was very disturbing, especially since my husband had just come out of the hospital and we really just wanted to be quiet. The fridge was not on and was then turned on, but never got cold anyway. The fridge was replaced the next day with a much smaller fridge.

The service was not good, they didn't have enough blankets and their houses are not up to standard.

The guesthouse is old and their electric appliances were faulty, They don't maintain their houses.
