Wonderful surprise - modern, clean, great staff and service. Excellent value for money.

We arrived late at night. We were greeted by a lovely lady and a guard with a dog walking the property. Our room was excellent and well appointed.

The Kameelboom Lodge was very expensive given the rudimentary amenities.

Staff were very helpful and friendly but amenities were very rudimentary. The lodge is situated on the side of a busy highway and there were no signs of any security measures. Basically we felt "left to our own devices" during the night.

Kamer was nie geskik vir 'n gesin nie. Deur na die badkamer het nie gewerk nie. Geen eetgeriewe in die kamer. Nie selfsorg nie. Badkamer was baie vuil. Ons het eerder nie gestort nie.

Die swakste keuse wat ek nog gemaak het. Hoe kry dit 3.7?

Teen R1000 'n nag het ons 'n motelkamer gekry. Die kamers is ingeryg soos army-barakke met nie veel privaatheid tussen die stoepe nie. Met aankoms (3 uur) is ons gevra om solank ons aandete te bespreek, dit was fout 1. Teen etenstyd (7 uur) het daai 120 g varktjoppie al ure in 'n warm oond gestaan. Saam was bedien heel lekker skyfies en 'n hopie ontvriesde Country Veg, so lou, die gerasperde kaasvlokkies kon nie eers smelt nie. Dit alles teen R180,00 per persoon. Fout 2 was om nie te vra vir die beurtkragskedule nie. Met aankoms by die lodge was die buitetemperatuur 39 C. Gelukkig het die kamertjie lugreëling en ons kon rus na 9 ure se ry vanaf Port Nolloth. Ons sou later die aand uitvind dat die lugreëling nie werk gedurende beurtkragonderbrekings nie. Dit het 8 uur ingeskop, die kamer het binne minute in 'n oond verander. Die oplossing was om die badkamervenstertjie en die skuifdeur oop te maak, geen diefwering en al die muskiete op Vryburg. Die ergste was egter toe ons 4 uur die oggend wou ry en beurtkrag weer geheers het. Ons vind toe uit die plek het ook nie water wanneer die krag af is nie. Ons is daar weg, sonder koffie en sal nie weer teruggaan nie.

The worst choice I have ever made. How does it get 3.7?

At R1000 a night we got a motel room. The rooms are arranged like army barracks with not much privacy between the verandas. On arrival (3 o'clock) we were asked to reserve our dinner in the meantime, this was mistake 1. By dinner time (7 o'clock) that 120 g pork chop had been in a hot oven for hours. Served together were very nice chips and a pile of defrosted Country Veg, so lukewarm, the grated cheese flakes couldn't even melt. All this at R180,00 per person. Mistake 2 was not asking for the load shedding schedule. On arrival at the lodge the outside temperature was 39 C. Fortunately the little room has air conditioning and we were able to rest after 9 hours of driving from Port Nolloth. We would find out later that night that the air conditioning was not working during load shedding interruptions. It kicked in at 8 o'clock, the room turned into an oven within minutes. The solution was to open the bathroom window and the sliding door, no burglar alarm and all the mosquitoes in Vryburg. However, the worst was when we wanted to drive at 4 o'clock in the morning and load shedding prevailed again. We then found out that the place also has no water when the power is off. We left there, without coffee and will not go back again.

Mooi en interessant. Blyplek effe knap, lyk of daar opgradering plaasvind. Padgeraas pla.

Mooi plek. Baie goed geleë, net jammer van die baie vragmotors op die pad. (Was nie vroeër jare so nie). Sou dit nie as selfsorg klassifiseer nie, net mikrogolf en teemaakgeriewe. Kamers nie klankdig nie, TV langsaan en gesprekke duidelik hoorbaar. (Dink dit is via die rietplafonne).

Beautiful and interesting. Accommodation a bit nice, looks like an upgrade is taking place. Road noise bothers.

Nice place. Very well located, just a pity about the many trucks on the road. (Wasn't like that in earlier years). Wouldn't class it as self catering, just microwave and tea making facilities. Rooms not soundproof, TV next door and conversations clearly audible. (Think it's via the thatched ceilings).

Met die intrapslag op pad na ons kamer toe was ons gevra of ons ten volle betaal het wat mens bietjie onwelkom laat voel het aangesien daar tog kommunikasie moes wees.

Verder is ons gewaarsku teen kwaaddoeners in Vryburg en is ons afgeraai om in die dorp in te gaan. Ongelukkig was die kos by die lodge se restaurant baie duur en moes ons vir 'n goedkoper opsie in die dorp gaan soek. Verder was daar nie 'n kragopwekker vir beurtkrag nie en is ons gesê die kragopwekker is gesteel. Die pad is ook baie steurend met verkeer regdeur die nag.

On the way up to our room, we were asked if we had paid in full, which made you feel a little unwelcome as there had to have been communication.

Furthermore, we were warned against wrongdoers in Vryburg and were advised against entering the town. Unfortunately, the food at the lodge's restaurant was very expensive and we had to look for a cheaper option in town. Furthermore, there was no generator for load shedding and we were told that the generator had been stolen. The road is also very disturbing with traffic throughout the night.

Goeie diens vir prys betaal.

Kamer 1 het slegs 'n baie dun duvet gehad. Die kliënt kan nie laat in die aand gaan navraag doen vir ekstra komberse nie. Dit moet deel vorm van die standaard beddegoed vir die kamer. Slegs 1 halwe rol enkellaagtoiletpapier was in die badkamer. Kamer 3 se stort was nie skoon nie.

Ons was in Vryburg vir 'n verjaarsdagpartytjie.

Dis 'n oulike plek met baie potensiaal. Skoon en netjies en die aircon het die plek heerlik warm gemaak, maar die instandhouding kort aandag. Ons het in die familiekamer gebly, die skuifdeur het baie moeilik oop- en toegeskuif, geen klein yskassie vir melk of jogurt of koeldrank nie en die mure kort 'n lagie verf. Geen mikrogolf om net vinnig ietsie te kan warm maak nie. Nuwe kussings en matras sal 'n aanwins wees.

We were in Vryburg for a birthday party.

It's a cute place with a lot of potential. Clean and tidy and the aircon made the place wonderfully warm, but the maintenance needs attention. We stayed in the family room, the sliding door was very difficult to open and close, no small fridge for milk or yogurt or soft drinks and the walls need a coat of paint. No microwave to heat up something quickly. New pillows and mattress would be an asset.

Fasiliteite bevredigend.

Sekuriteit nie na wense nie aangesien geen diefwering voor vensters en deure is nie. Die lodge is neffens die N14 geleë en is die risiko daar dat misdadige elemente vinnig in en uit kan beweeg. Ons ontvangs was nie baie vriendelik nie, alhoewel ons ongeveer een uur voor die inboektyd van 14H00 uur was en dit 'n invloed kon gehad het.

Nice and relaxing - most of the time.

The surroundings are great and we were made to feel very welcome by the staff. However, there was a small function taking place who had their music blaring for a few hours, with no consideration for the people that were actually staying at the Lodge (they just visited for a few hours). The mattresses were not great and need replacement, as well as be firmer.

Die beddegoed het nie 'n mooi skoon reuk gehad nie, die matras het 'n gat in die middel of wel die matras is oud. Dit kan so mooi wees, as die mense net bietjie die plek opgradeer, klein verandering kan 'n baie groot verskil maak.

Nie wat ons verwag het nie.

Positief: kamer skoon en netjies, tuine ook. Negatief: Beurtkrag verstaan ons, maar dan maak jy 'n plan om water aan gaste te verskaf. Verder kon ons nie die personeel gebel kry om hek oop te maak nie en ons en ander gaste moes buite wag vir aandag. Dagbesoekers het oorverdowende musiek weerskante van die kamers gespeel tot 19:30, uiters steurend!. Te naby aan pad, maar dit is nie die personeel se skuld nie.

Not what we expected.

Positive: room clean and tidy, gardens too. Negative: We understand gravity, but then you make a plan to provide water to guests. Furthermore, we could not get the staff to call to open the gate and we and other guests had to wait outside for attention. Day visitors played deafening music from both sides of the rooms until 7.30pm, extremely disturbing!. Too close to road, but that's not the staff's fault.

Plek word geadverteer as self-catering, maar daar is slegs 'n mikrogolfoond, ketel, yskas, bekers en glase in kamer.

Geen eetgerei (nie eers 'n teelepel) in kamer nie. Wat nie 'n probleem is as jy vooraf daarvan weet en self saamvat nie. Oorweeg dalk 'n inligtingsblad in kamer wat jou inlig i.v.m. kroeg en restaurant - waar dit is en watter ure hulle oop is. Noem dalk ook op besprekingsblad dat daar geen koffie/tee in kamer beskikbaar is nie.

Place is advertised as self-catering, but there is only a microwave oven, kettle, fridge, mugs and glasses in room.

No cutlery (not even a teaspoon) in room. Which is not a problem if you know about it in advance and summarize it yourself. Perhaps consider an information sheet in room that informs you regarding bar and restaurant - where they are and what hours they are open. Perhaps also mention on the booking page that there is no coffee/tea available in the room.

Ons het daar geslaap omdat ons klaar betaal het.

Die vensters het nie diefwering nie. Dit het gemaak dat ons noodgedwonge die lugreëling moes aansit. Daar was ook nie teesakkies en 'n teelepel in die kamer nie.

Baie mooi plek.

Alles by die Kameelboomlodge was goed en dis 'n baie mooi plek, pragtige tuin, bome en plante en oral is baie oulike bordjies en interessanthede in die tuine. Kamers is skoon en goed uitgele. Dit is 'n selfsorglodge alhoewel daar 'n ketel, bekers, mikrogolf en yskas in die kamers was, sou ek verwag het dat daar basiese goed soos twee borde, mes en vurke ook sou wees, maar daar was nie en ons moes ry om papierborde ens. te gaan aankoop. Die enigste negatiewe kommentaar wat ek wil lewer is toe daar Vrydagoggend 'n groot groep ingeboek het, hulle was luiddrugtig en het basies die tuine oorgeneem en klipharde musiek begin speel en basies geen respek of ontsag gehad vir enige van die ander besoekers nie. Toe ek die kantoor bel om daaroor te kla, is daar vir my gesê die groep het 'n 'celebratory function' en dit is dus toegelaat vir hulle om soveel geraas te maak. Toe ek noem dat dit ons rus verstoor en nie deel van die pakket was nie, toe word daar aan my gesê 'sy sal my geld teruggee as ek nie tevrede is nie' maw ek wat vir 3 nagte bespreek was en reeds vanaf Donderdag daar was, moes maar ander blyplek gaan soek as ek nie na die geraas wou luister nie. Ons het die res van die dag op 'n ander plek deurgebring en die volgende dag was die groep nog daar maar dit het geblyk dat hulle aangespreek was.

Very nice place.

Everything at the Kameelboomlodge was good and it's a very nice place, beautiful garden, trees and plants and there are very cute signs and interesting things in the gardens. Rooms are clean and well laid out. It is a self catering lodge although there was a kettle, mugs, microwave and fridge in the rooms, I would have expected there to be basic things like two plates, knife and forks as well but there weren't and we had to scrounge for paper plates etc. to go purchase. The only negative comment I would like to make is when a large group checked in on Friday morning, they were loud and basically took over the gardens and started playing rock hard music and basically had no respect or awe for any of the other visitors. When I called the office to complain about it, I was told that the group had a 'celebratory function' and therefore it was allowed for them to make so much noise. When I mentioned that it disturbed our rest and was not part of the package, I was told 'she will give my money back if I am not satisfied' ie me who was booked for 3 nights and had already been there since Thursday , had to find another place to stay if I didn't want to listen to the noise. We spent the rest of the day in another place and the next day the group was still there but it appeared that they had been addressed.

Padstal teen die lodge, baie gerieflik.

Toe ek daar aankom, skryf dame kwitansie uit, alhoewel ek haar my naam gee. Sy was nie eers bewus dat ek deur die webtuiste betaal het. Die beddens is in 'n haglike toestand, die krane van die stort het aanhoudend gedrup. Die vloer by die yskas was vuil, lyk soos melk wat uitgeloop het. Die tuin en die diere in en om die lodge, pragtig in stand gehou. Ek kan dit nie se van die kamers. Die gordyne het lelike vlekke en lyk of dit lank terug gewas is.

Paddock opposite the lodge, very comfortable.

When I got there, lady writes out receipt, even though I give her my name. She was not even aware that I paid through the website. The beds are in a terrible state, the faucets of the shower kept dripping. The floor by the fridge was dirty, looked like spilled milk. The garden and the animals in and around the lodge, beautifully maintained. I can't say that about the rooms. The curtains have ugly stains and look like they have been washed a long time ago.

Bespreking slegs gedoen slegs met die doel om oornagverblyf.

Die konsep en ligging is ideaal vir oornagverblyf, maar basiese instandhouding en netheid laat veel te wense oor. Gaste moet ook daarop attent gemaak word; hetsy tydens bespreking of met 'n nota in kamer dat geraas, musiek en televisie net tot 'n sekere tyd toegelaat word, bv. 21:00 uur.

Reservation only made for the purpose of overnight stay.

The concept and location are ideal for overnight stays, but basic maintenance and cleanliness leave much to be desired. Guests must also be made aware of this; either during booking or with a note in the room that noise, music and television are only allowed until a certain time, e.g. 21:00 hours.

Baie goed geleë blyplek, maar glad nie aanbeveelbaar nie.

Die blyplek is glad nie wat ons verwag het nie. Die slaapkamer is darem skoon en netjies, al lyk dit soos 'n blik shack, maar dis al. Daar is 'n klein mikrogolfoond, en 'n baie ou geroeste oondjie met 2 plate (te bang om die ding te gebruik), en 'n water ketel. Verder geen selfsorgtoebehore om kos mee te maak nie, so jy moet nou maar by die restaurant eet. Die restaurant se kos is nie sleg nie, net verskriklik duur vir wat jy kry. Sal glad nie die blyplek vir enige een aanbeveel nie.

Very well located place to stay, but not at all recommendable.

The place to stay is not at all what we expected. At least the bedroom is clean and tidy, even if it looks like a tin shack, but that's all. There is a small microwave oven, and a very old rusty oven with 2 plates (too scared to use the thing), and a water kettle. Furthermore, no self-catering equipment to cook with, so you have to eat at the restaurant. The restaurant's food is not bad, just terribly expensive for what you get. Would not recommend the place to anyone at all.

Glad nie wat ons verwag het nie. Minder aangenaam.

Kamer bitter klein en glad nie soos op die fotovoorstelling nie. Ons geskuif van ons oorspronklike kamer omdat hulle ander mense daar ingesit het. Nie baie skoon nie, en beknop. Word as selfsorg bemark maar nie goed toegerus nie. Restaurant en kroeg was nie oop nie en eienaars het hulle eie funksie by die restaurant gehou die aand wat ons daar was.

Die ligging was presies waarvoor ons gesoek het, die kamer was op aanvaarbare standaard, maar die badkamer was nie op standaard.

Die laagtepunt van ons besoek was die toestand van die badkamer. Dit kort verseker 'n ordentlike skoonmaak. Die badkamer-asblik was nie skoongemaak, die stortmatjie was vuil, en daar was 'n sanitêre plakker agter gelaat in die stort.

Baie onaangenaam.

Hulle antwoord nie e-posse nie. Die braaigeriewe is ver van die kamer af en moet met ander mense gedeel word. Jy kan glad nie in jou eie privaatheid braai nie. Daar is geen messe, vurke borde of teelepels nie en ons het 'n selfsorg-eenheid gekies juis sodat ons self kon regkom. Daar is net 'n mikrogolf wat nie op die blad aangedui is nie so ons kon glad nie ons eie kos maak nie. Hulle was nie eers bewus dat ons deur die webtuiste betaal het nie.

They do not reply to emails. The braai facilities are far from the room and should be shared with other people. You can't braai in your own privacy at all.

There is only a microwave that is not indicated on the site so we couldn't make our own food at all. They were not even aware that we had paid through the site.

Gemaklike oornagverblyf.

Ons verblyf was baie aangenaam en rustig. Ek wil graag die volgende 3 punte uitlig. Die dame wat by die kroeg gewerk het was nie baie vriendelik nie en was meer gepla om buite by haar kêrel te kuier as om ons te bedien. Die kamers het ketels en koffiebekers, maar daar is geen koffie of tee nie. Die handdoeke in ons kamer was bie oud en bietjie uitgerafel. Aan die positiewe kant. Die kamers is baie netjies, die tuine is pragtig en die kos was fantasties. Ons sal beslis weer hier oor stop.

Our accommodation was very pleasant and quiet. I would like to highlight the following 3 points. The lady who worked at the bar was not very friendly and was more worries about sitting her boyfriend outside than to serve us. The rooms have kettles and coffee cups, but no coffee or tea. The towels in our room were both old and a bit faded. On the positive side. The rooms are very neat, the gardens are beautiful and the food was fantastic. We will definitely stop here again.

Goeie waarde vir geld in 'n rustige atmosfeer.

Die pakket bied goeie waarde en die tuin is groot en goed onderhou. Die kamers is aanvaarbaar, maar kort 'n fyner hand om die detail en kliëntsensitiwiteit te verbeter. Dit gaan êrens in die volgende 24 maande opgraderings aan die infrastruktuur benodig.

Very disappointed.

We pass Kameelboom Lodge every second year and always stay over. This year we were all very disappointed. The cups in the rooms were chipped, and there was no sugar, coffee or tea to drink. 2 toilets were clogged and we had to fix it ourselves. The one shower also did not work properly and there was no hot water for the one room's shower. The other shower door wouldn't open when you were inside. 2 of the rooms' mattresses were broken, you roll to one side when you lie on the bed. Furthermore, the service was very friendly, the bar area very nice. Just think it needs a little maintenance.

It is right next to the N14, traffic noise all night. You can literally hear the people next to you snoring, purring and coughing all night long

The staff is very helpful and friendly. The unit was clean. There used to be a door that separated the bathroom area from the bedroom, but now it's just a big opening. We asked for a sheet just to have at least some privacy when using the bathroom (family with 2 teenagers). The walls between the sleeping units are paper thin - what the people next door are doing can be clearly heard in our unit. A peaceful night's rest for the long haul is NOT possible.

Room was neat, but otherwise it was disappointing.

Room was neat and clean. However, there was no door between the room and bathroom. There was no DStv as advertised - only E-TV decoder. There were only 2 coffee mugs and 3 glasses in our room, which was actually a four bedroom unit. Luckily they were able to help us with 2 more mugs and a working kettle after we enquired. The restaurant and bar area was not actually available to us as there was a private function that was not disclosed to us ahead of time. When we wanted to book for breakfast, they couldn't help us. It rained that evening. We couldn't sit in the restaurant and the canopy in front of our room was leaking, and we couldn't sit there either.

Nie lekker gebly nie, sal nie weer by Kameelboom Lodge boek nie.

Kamers is glad nie klankdig nie, die gaste in die kamer langs ons se TV kon duidelik gehoor word. Was baie steurend. Die air-con het nie gewerk nie (was vrek warm). Die stort het ook gedrip. DStv is gelys op die website maar hulle het Openview (vals advertering). Ook geen koffiesakkies etc. in die kamers nie. Ontvangs was swak, beide met aankoms en vertrek was daar niemand in ontvangs nie. Baie swak in vergelyking met ander plekke waar ons oornag het in dieselfde prysklas. Nee wat, sal maar verby hou volgende keer.

Not a nice stay, will not book at Kameelboom Lodge again.

Rooms are not soundproof at all, the guests in the room next to our TV could be clearly heard. Was very disturbing. The air-con did not work (was very hot). The shower also dripped. DStv is listed on the website but they have Openview (false advertising). Also no coffee bags etc. not in the rooms. Reception was poor, both on arrival and departure there was no one in reception. Very poor compared to other places we stayed in the same price range. No, I'll pass next time.

Was glad nie lekker en geld werd nie.

Geen handdoeke of eetgerei in chalet nie. Moes gaan vra en self na chalet toe vat. Beddens is al stukkend geslaap.

Wasn't nice and worth money.

No towels or cutlery in chalet. Had to go and ask for it and bring it to the chalet. Beds have already been worn out.

Swak.

Nors, onopgeleide personeel. Kamers is oud en afgeleef. Personeel hou laatnag partytjie sodat gaste nie kan slaap.

Weak.

Grumpy, untrained staff. Rooms are old and shabby. Staff party late into the night so guests can't sleep.

Pragtige omgewing en lekker mense!

Alles het goed verloop en ons het die verblyf daar baie geniet.Ek het die volle rekening met bespreking vereffen en was verbaas toe Kameelboom nie rekord daarvan gehad het nie. Die badkamer en toilet is nie afgeskort van die slaapeenheid nie en dit pla, selfs as jy net met jou liefie reis, om nie eers van vriende en ouers te praat nie. 'n Effens hoër muur met 'n deur sal die ding doen.

Beautiful area and great people.

Everything went great, and we enjoyed our stay so much. I paid in full when I booked, and was surprised when Kameelboom had no record of that. The bathroom ans toilet is not cordoned of from the beds, and that is a bit of a problem - even if it is only you and your loved one travelling, not to mention travelling with family or your parents. A wall or slightly higher wall will do the trick.

Was aangenaam verras oor die tuin.

Na 'n dag se reis (9 ure) het ons met ons aankoms daar gehoor daar is 'n verlowingspartytjie die aand en moet ons maar verskoon as die mense te hard lawaai. 'n Lawaai was dit inderdaad. Die musiek was oorverdowend. Ek glo die mense in Vryburg sou dit kon hoor (7 kilometer verder). Na twaalf het ons die bestuur geskakel en gevra tot waneer die rumoer sal aanhou. Hy het net gesê hy het ons in kennis gestel dat die mense kan raas en dat hulle voorkeur geniet omdat hulle byna die hele Lodge bespreek het. Ons het middernag opgepak en verder gery.

Was pleasantly surprised by the garden.

After a day's journey (9 hours) we heard on our arrival there that there is an engagement party that evening and we have to excuse ourselves if the people make too much noise. A noise indeed it was. The music was deafening. I believe the people in Vryburg would be able to hear it (7 kilometers away). After twelve we called the management and asked until when the commotion would continue. He just said he had informed us that the people could be noisy and that they had priority because they booked almost the entire Lodge. We packed up at midnight and drove on.

Kameelboom Lodge 's response

Geagte Mnr,
Dit is met 'n baie swaar hart dat ek verneem het dat u die volgende dag reeds weg is. Toe u my geskakel het net na twaalf het ek egter die mense gevra om hulle musiek sagter te sit op u versoek, wat hulle wel gedoen het. Ek het al die gaste in kennis gestel van die verlowingspartytjie en dat die gaste wel kan raas. Ek moet u ook net in kennis stel dat u rekening by ons nog nie vereffen is nie, siende dat u het net opgepak en weggery het in die middel van die nag. Ek waardeer egter al u eerlikheid en opregtheid met die resensie.

Bed was uitgehol en glad nie lekker nie, bruilofgaste het geraas en op my kar gelê.

Ek het dit glad nie geniet by die lodge nie.

Bed was slept through and not comfortable at all, wedding guests made a noise and sat on my car.

I did not enjoy it at the lodge at all.

Gemaklike oornagverblyf.

Die verblyf is voldoende vir gewone oornag. Kamers ruim met lugversorging. Swembad om af te koel, tesame met 'n ruim tuin om in te ontspan. Ongelukkig bied die restourant slegs biefstuk met skyfies en slaai as keuse wat om te eet. Kroegfasiliteit bied ruim keuse aan. Wees egter baie versigtig as dit kom by betaling, want hul beskik oor geen administrasie wat dit betref, en was daar op meer as een geleentheid verkeerde bedrae gehef.

Comfortable overnight stay.

The accommodation is sufficient for a normal overnight stay. Rooms are spacious with air conditioning. Swimming pool to cool off, along with a spacious garden to relax in. Unfortunately, the restaurant only offers steak with chips and salad as a choice of what to eat. Bar facility offers ample choice. However, be very careful when it comes to payment, because they have no administration when it comes to this, and have been charged incorrect amounts on more than one occasion.

Not at all what we expected.

Restaurant closes early, small selection to choose from, and no prices on the menu. Then saw on account why they don't put up prices! Very expensive for what you get! Rooms without coffee and tea, only a kettle. Will definitely choose another place if we stay in Vryburg again.

Swak.

Kon nie die tweede aand daar slaap a.g.v. bure wat sokker kyk en kliphard praat. Niemand het aangebied om my geld terug te gee of om verskoning gevra. Daar was 'n ketel in die kamer, maar geen koffie of suiker nie. Badkamer word as privaat geadverteer, maar dit is glad nie. Rêrig 'n teleurstelling.

Weak.

Couldn't sleep there the second night because neighbors who watch football and talk loudly. No one offered to refund my money or apologize. There was a kettle in the room but no coffee or sugar. Bathroom is advertised as private but it is not at all. Quite a disappointment.

Goeie dag Vernon
Niemand het by ontvangs dit aangemeld nie, ek sal dit verseker onder die aandag van die eienaars bring.
Suiker en koffie word by ontvangs gegee op aanvraag, omrede ons personeel dit uit die kamers vat.
Hiermee vra ek namens my en die eienaars, asook die personeel, om verskoning.
Vriendelike Groete
