Karoo Oasis

It was adequate.

The unit was spacious and clean. However, Wi-Fi as advertised was not available and there was no cell phone signal, which made it difficult for us to plan our next day's trip.

Artistically appointed old Karoo Victorian let down by poor bathroom facilities.

As two friends on motorcycle journey through the Karoo, we were happy to share a bathroom but you not only have to walk through the other bedroom to get to the bathroom, there was no shower and not enough hot water to run two baths one after another. If you are a couple and don't mind sharing bath water like my wife and I do, then you will be comfortable here (as I was in the end), but two independent biker friends, not so much. My mate actually booked into the hotel down the road. Then we were both happy! I also had to ask for a rubbish bin when there should have been one in each room and one in the bathroom, and was also miffed that the bathroom window was wired shut and the front door had no lock on it, although there was a security door with a padlock.

Net een aand oorgeslaap. Was nog nie voorheen in Steytlerville.

Lyk glad nie soos op die fotos nie. Voorstoep was kaal met geen stoel of bank. Net 'n rol jakkalsdraad het daar gelê. Dit is later die middag met groot geraas tussen sommige pilare met muurspykers vasgemaak, weet nie doel daarvan. Daar was slegs 'n ketel, geen mikrogolf of stoof om iets te kook of warm te maak. Geen papbakkies of borde om volgende môre uit te eet nie. Die water het slegs met 'n baie klein straaltjie geloop en geen warm water die aand nie. Net een kant 'n baie flou bed- of leeslampie. Natuurlik nie Wi-Fi en TV nie. Indien die tarief die helfte minder was, sou dit nog aanvaarbaar wees, maar dit was eintlik meer, of dieselfde as die baie oulike plekke in George, Keurboomstrand, Kaap St Francis, Uitenhage, en so aan.

Baie lekker met 'n Karoogevoel.

Dit is goeie waarde vir geld en mooi netjies en skoon. Ons het baie lekker gebly.

Dit was 'n unieke ervaring.

Die huis was goed ingerig en was skoon het lekker gekuier. Uiters sentraal geleë en die diens was goed.

Very basic place to sleep.

Pretty much a bed and a basic bathroom/shower. The host was very attentive and helped as best he could. Power in the town was down from 06h00 to late afternoon due to non-payment by the municipality!

Rustige Karoo-atmosfeer. Pragtige dorpie.

Pragtige dorp, netjies. Pragtige ou geboue. Hotel is uit 'n ander wëreld. Hotelontvangs is hartlik en gasvry.

Pathetic. Baie sleg.

Plek is nie skoon nie, oortrek van muskiete, slaap was onmoontlik. Dis nie 'n B&B nie, nog minder selfsorg. Daar is niks, net 'n waterketel, g'n mikrogolf of stoof om kos te maak of verhit nie. Gebreekte blindings op venster, geen gordyne, mense kyk binne in slaapkamer. Eienaar glad nie behulpsaam nie. Sal dit nie aanbeveel nie.

Dit was aangenaam saam met lekker vriende.

Een aand is genoeg. Dit sal lekker wees as elke kamer sy eie badkamer kan hê.
