Heerlike ervaring!

Baie lekker oorgebly. Ons honde het ook die grasperk en ruim erf baie geniet. Dit was baie lekker en rustig gewees na 'n lang reis! Sal graag weer hier wil oorbly in die toekoms!

Great experience!

Very nice stay. Our dogs also really enjoyed the lawn and spacious yard. It was very nice and peaceful after a long journey! Would love to stay here again in the future!

Gemengde gevoelens.

Ek en my vrou en ons drie volwasse kinders het onlangs hier oornag. Die huis is baie lekker en gesellig en die bed waarop ek en my vrou geslaap het was wonderlik. Die eienaar het egter een van die kamers, wat direk uit een van die drie slaapkamers wat ons gehuur lei, aan 'n ander groep mense verhuur. Daar was ten minste drie volwassenes en twee kinders wat, dink ek, almal in die vierde slaapkamer oorgeslaap het. Nadat ek hulle eers moes gaan vra om stil te bly omdat ons wil slaap, het hulle in die huis begin kettingrook en die rook het onderdeur die deur in die kamer waar my dogter geslaap het ingedring en sy moes haar kop bedek en probeer om te slaap met die sterk rookreuk in haar kamer. Ek dink nie die huis leen hom daartoe om twee groepe mense te akkommodeer nie en ek kan nie glo dat mense toegelaat word om in die huis te rook nie, geen rook verbode tekens nie. Die stort se warmwaterkraan het nie gewerk nie en ons moes koud stort. Verskeie van die ander krane het ook gesukkel.

Mixed feelings.

My wife and I and our three adult children recently spent the night here. The house is very nice and cozy and the bed my wife and I slept on was wonderful. However, the owner has rented one of the rooms, which leads directly from one of the three bedrooms we rented, to another group of people. There were at least three adults and two children who, I think, all slept over in the fourth bedroom. After I first had to go and ask them to be quiet because we want to sleep, they started chain smoking in the house and the smoke entered the room where my daughter was sleeping through the bottom of the door and she had to cover her head and try to sleep with the strong smell of smoke in her room. I don't think the house lends itself to accommodating two groups of people and I can't believe that people are allowed to smoke in the house, no smoking signs. The shower's hot water tap did not work and we had to take a cold shower. Several of the other cranes also struggled.

Goeie dag Dirk.
Dankie vir jou resensie.
Die kraan van die stort het gebreek en die vorige gaste het ons nie laat weet nie. Ek is jammer daaroor. Ons gaan egter die hele badkamer oordoen want die krane is binne in die muur.
Ek is jammer oor die gaste wat hulle nie kon gedra nie.
Daar is nie-rook bordjies in die kombuis en die deel waar die ander gaste geslaap het.
Die wangedrag van die ander gaste het ons reeds hanteer.

Hoop om julle weer te sien.

Groete

Goeie oorslaap-fasiliteit

Dit is skoon en veilig. Lekker beddegoed, maar die badkamer wat deur almal gedeel word is ongerieflik. 'n Paar krane het gelek wat met die huidige waterkrisis onaanvaarbaar is. Die stort in die bad was ongemaklik en vererger deur kraan wat lek en vloer nat maak.

Goo overnight accommodation.

It is clean and safe. Nice bedding, but the bathroom that's shared by everyone is inconvenient. A few taps was leaking which is unacceptable with the current water crisis. The shower in the bath was uncomfortable and aggravated by a tap that was leaking and making the floor wet.

The house is clean and well equipped, but there is no view despite the website picture which suggests this.

We enjoyed our one-night stay, although we had to go in search of the Gariep Dam. The website picture promises wonderful views - we think this should be changed. However, the house if well equipped and spotlessly clean.

Thank you for your feedback.

Netjies en skoon, genoeg beddegoed.

Die profiel-foto misleidend - ons het in die rigting van die dam na die huis gaan soek. Die egpaar het hard gewerk aan die huis regmaak, hopelik is die werf volgende aan die beurt!

Neat and clean, enough bedding.

The profile photo misleading. We searched for the house in the direction of the dam. The couple worked hard on the house, hopefully the yard will be next.

Goeie dag Andries,
Dankie vir jou insette. Ons werk hard aan die tuin.
Gelukkig is die groei seisoen nou hier. Blomme en gras is geplant.
Wanneer julle weer kom kuier lyk als anders.

Verblyf was aangenaam maar baie eenvoudig.

Gasheer baie vriendelik en kamer baie netjies en skoon. Ongelukkig nie veel om te doen op die perseel nie, bestaan net uit kamers. Die kamers word net voorsien van losstaande waaiers wat nie regtig help met uitermatige hitte in Bethulie nie wat verblyf ongemaklik gemaak het.

Accommodation was pleasant but very basic.

Host very friendly and room very neat and clean. Unfortunately not much to do on site, just rooms. The rooms are only provided with stand alone fans which do not really help with extreme heat in Bethulie which made stay uncomfortable.

Clean and tidy house.

The house is very neat, the yard still needs some development. Spring is very pleasant and friendly.
