Beautiful.

Beautiful, very intimate place, was allowed to book in a bit earlier. The lady was very helpful and friendly.

Was ongelukkig kort want ons het net oornag om 'n troue by te woon.

Baie netjies en gemaklik ingerig met 'n heerlike kuierstoep. Lieflike tuin. Uiters gemaklike beddens.

Ongelukkig het die 2de badkamer glad nie warm water gehad nie. Eienaar se tel. nr. werk nie. WiFi ook nie regte password nie.

Unit smelled like wood fire.

There is a chimney further down where you can see smoke coming out. We had to keep windows closed at all times. Secondly, it was pouring rain when we arrived and the receptionist was very friendly and accommodating however, there is not even a little roof over the reception area's door, and she and we got soaked. We were in Unit 1 and this is probably just us, but the paintings and sculptures at the entrance and up the stairs made us feel very uneasy.

Hornbill House 's response

So sorry that our entrance scared you.

you are the first people who have not complimented us on the wonderful, different entrance.

Please come again.

Hornbill House is naby aan alles, maar tog weggesteek vir die rustigheid. Sal vir seker weer gebruik maak van hierdie verblyfopsie en dit aanbeveel vir toekomstige reisigers.

Comfortable and clean and well equipped

We had a comfortable and cosy stay at Hornbill House. The only issue we had was the bathroom. The shower should be contained to its own space as after a shower everything is wet and unpleasant. There was a lot of noise from the opposite nursery with cars and vans up and down but I guess that is out of Hornbill's hands.

Thank you for staying at Hornbill.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Die mees rustige artistiese kamers in die ongelooflikste bosryke omgewing.

Dit voel asof jy in 'n lowergroen tropiese woud in 'n boomhuis in luukse weelde slaap. Ongelooflike ervaring in die mooiste stukkie hemel op aarde.

Goeie basiese verblyf, was egter baie koud en gasverwarmer se gassilinder was leeg.

Marelize het uit haar pad gegaan om ons te ontvang en welkom te laat voel, plek was skoon en netjies en met die onverwagte koue was ons dankbaar vir die warm onderlakens. Nie 'n bottel rooiwyn op die koop as 'n geskenk verwag nie en dis regtig 'n mooi en intieme plek, loopafstand van wat saak maak. Omgewing was veilig, rustig en baie stil. Lekker slaap keuse vir seker.

Good basic accommodation, however was very cold and gas heater's gas cylinder was empty.

Marelize went out of her way to receive us and make us feel welcome, place was clean and tidy and with the unexpected cold we were grateful for the warm undersheets. Don't expect a bottle of red wine on sale as a gift and it's really a nice and intimate place, walking distance from what matters. Environment was safe, peaceful and very quiet. Good sleep choice for sure.

Ons het lekker gebly.

Die area en plek is baie mooi en netjies. Sou net vooraf wou weet dat die plek bitter koud is. Daar is 2 dae voor ons aankoms laat weet dat ons die gas in die verwarmer spaarsamig moet gebruik, omdat dit uit voorraad is. As die eienaars beter beplan, sal so iets nie in die toekoms gebeur nie. Daar was ook net 2 glase om te gebruik en al die snymesse was ongelooflik stomp. Tee, koffie en suiker is voorsien, maar geen melk nie.

We had a nice stay.

The area and place is very nice and tidy. Just wanted to know in advance that the place is bitterly cold. We were told 2 days before our arrival that we should use the gas in the heater sparingly, because it was out of stock. If the owners plan better, something like this will not happen in the future. There were also only 2 glasses to use and all the cutting knives were incredibly blunt. Tea, coffee and sugar were provided, but no milk.

We were pleasantly surprised by the lovely surroundings and really enjoyed the artwork. We could have stayed there much longer if we had time because of the proximity to Hermanus and Onrus, as well as Kleinmond.
