Wow, wow, wow.

Hierdie was nou waarde vir geld! Alles wat jy nodig het, hetsy vir 'n vinnige oorslaap, of 'n week om uit te rus, is in die ruim eenheid. Die gawe en uiters behulpsame gasvrou het dit vir ons tuis laat voel. Ons sal beslis weer daar kuier.

Ongelooflik lekker gekuier!

Ons kan hierdie juweelplek met die grootste vrymoedigheid aanbeveel. Baie goed toegerus, baie veilig, skoon en netjies. Alles wat 'n mens nodig het vir heerlik kuier en ontspan. Uitstekende verblyf waar ons kon "batterye" laai vir 2023. Ons was 3 weke daar en het elke minuut geniet! Die eienaar, Erna, verstaan die kuns van gasvrou wees baie goed. Sy is vriendelik, baie behulpsaam en stel haar gaste bo haar eie belang. Sy stap regtig meer as die ekstra myl vir haar gaste! Daar is regtig niks waaroor ons kan kla nie - alles was net perfek! Baie dankie Erna! Heron's Haven is tops!

The house is very neat and spacious for 2 people. Being on the water is always a bonus.

The owner Erna was very helpful and kind, always checking if we were ok and need anything. It was a bit windy and cold so we were indoors most of the time when we were there. We shall definitley go back in the summer to enjoy some fishing and some relaxing outdoors. Overall I recommend Heron's Haven.

Rustige, veilige en heerlik ontspannende verblyf.

Eienaar, Erna Lehy is baie gasvry en vriendelik. Haar inligtingsboek help enige gas om sy voete te vind in die omgewing en presies te vertel van al die besienswaardighede in die omgewing wat jy kan besoek. Ek beveel Heron's Haven beslis aan enigiemand wie vakansie wil hou in die Weskus, sentraal geleë om na al die naburige dorpe ook te ry.

Owner, Erna Lehy is very hospitable and friendly. Her information book helps any guest to find his feet in the area and tells exactly about all the attractions in the area that you can visit. I would definitely recommend Heron's Haven to anyone looking to holiday on the West Coast, centrally located to drive to all the neighboring towns too.

Stil, rustig, gerieflik en gemaklik!

Ons het 'n baie aangename oorslaap gehad by Heron's Haven. Die plek is ideaal vir 2 persone, alhoewel ons volwasse seun nie enige klagtes gehad het oor sy nag op die dagbed in die woonkamer nie. Daar is 'n mooi uitsig oor die kanaal en Bergrivier, en baie goeie voëllewe (die rede vir ons besoek).

Amazing location with easy access to the main river. Ideal for a couple with 1 teenager or 2 small kids. Clean and neat.

The owners are very hands on and friendly. Nothing is too much effort. For me, the only down side is the Weber braai, I would prefer to be able to make a wood fire.

Ons kuier was kort want ons het net oorgeslaap, maar die posisie langs die kanaal was pragtig en die akkommodasie baie gerieflik.

Our visit was short because we only slept over, but the position along the canal was beautiful and the accommodation very comfortable.

Our hostess was very friendly and she informed us very well about the area, where to go to see flowers, as well as the best places to eat.

Soos om by vriende te kuier.

Dit was alles wat beloof is, en méér. Gasvry, netjies, kwaliteit (heerlike bed!), goed, volledig toegerus. Ek kom beslis terug. Die eienaars is die kersie op hierdie koek - pragtige mense wat jou tuis laat voel, maar jou ook jou spasie gee.

Like visiting friends.

It was everything that was promised and more. Hospitable, neat, quality (lovely bed!), good, fully equipped. I'm definitely coming back. The owners are the cherry on the cake - beautiful people who make you feel at home but also give you your space.

Vriendelike ontvangs en alles wat nodig is is in die eenheid.

Dit is die regte plek om te bly vir 'n paartjie wat graag die duisende trekduikers wil dophou wat soggens en saans verbyvlieg.

Die eienaar het ons baie welkom en tuis laat voel.

Die woonstel is ten volle toegerus. Daar is niks wat ek sou wou byvoeg nie. Die woonstel is pynlik netjies en ruim en ons het regtig baie lekker ontspan. Ons gaan binnekort weer terug daarheen.

Warm and friendly welcome on arrival, excellent stay, great value for money.

Heron's Haven was an awesome experience. We had warm welcome on arrival with sufficient information provided about the local sightseeing. The space is neat and tidy with all essentials required for cooking and dining. We enjoyed the tranquillity as well as the visits from the local birds and tortoises, with beautiful picturesque early mornings and evening sunsets. This is definitely a destination to unwind.

Dear Ruth,

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. Our local priest always says " a weekend on the West Coast is a foretaste of heaven". We hope to see you again in the future.

Baie netjiese verblyf vir 2 persone.

Ons is baie vriendelik deur Erna ontvang en het sommer dadelik tuis gevoel. Die huis is pragtig geleë met uitsig oor die Marina. Ons sou dit waardeer het as daar melding gemaak was dat die verblyf wel privaat is, maar dit is deel van die huis waarin die eienaars bly, net die onderste gedeelte is 'n vakansiewoonstel. Die parkering van voertuie moet ook vooraf bespreek word met die eienaar aangesien hulle voertuie en ons voertuig almal agtermekaar geparkeer word in die pypsteel. Die eenheid is pragtig en baie netjies. Die slaapgeriewe was miskien geskik vir 4 volwassenes, maar die badkamer was beslis nie geskik vir 4 volwassenes nie. Dit is baie klein en beknop. Dit moet regtig in ag geneem word wanneer besprekings gemaak word. Daar is nie 'n leefarea indien meer as 2 persone daar moet bly nie. Ek glo vir 2 persone behoort dit baie goed te werk. Ons het egter lekker gebly.

Very neat accommodation for 2 people.

We were very kindly received by Erna and immediately felt at home. The house is beautifully situated overlooking the Marina. We would have appreciated it if it was mentioned that the accommodation is private, but it is part of the house where the owners stay, only the lower part is a holiday apartment. The parking of vehicles must also be discussed in advance with the owner as their vehicles and our vehicle are all parked in a row in the panhandle. The unit is beautiful and very neat. The sleeping facilities may have been suitable for 4 adults, but the bathroom was definitely not suitable for 4 adults. It is very small and cramped. This really needs to be taken into account when making reservations. There is no living area if more than 2 people have to stay there. I believe for 2 people it should work very well. However, we had a nice stay.

Beste Adri,
Ons probeer presies aanbied wat op die foto's is. Ek haal aan uit die algemene inligting:"Heron's Haven is op die grondvloer geleë, onder die eienaar se hoofhuis." Ons badkamer is klein, maar ons moes ongelukkig hierdie spasie opoffer om groter leefarea te bied. Ek het ons inhoud gewysig sodat dit nie net op die foto's sigbaar is nie, maar ook in die beskrywing. Ons is bly dat julle lekker gebly het.
Groete,
Erna
