Ruim en rustige oornagplek. Kombuis is goed toegerus vir self-sorg etes. Die sekuriteitskwellings wat ons gehad het, is aan die eienaar gekommunikeer, wat dadelik laat weet het dat sy dit sal aanspreek. Ons sal dit weer oorweeg as 'n oornagopsie.

Baie netjies en goed toegerus.

Ons naweekverblyf kon nie beter gewees het nie. Klara is 'n baie vriendelike en behulpsame dame en ons gereeld gevra of alles nog reg is. Ons het baie veilig gevoel in die stil Karoodorpie. Die kerk oorkant die pad is die mooiste gebou en die lui van die kerk-klok die Sondag-oggend was besonders. Inwoners van Williston is baie vriendelik. Sal beslis Karoo Tranquility aanbeveel indien jy verblyf soek in Williston.

Very neat and well equipped.

Our weekend stay could not have been better. Klara is a very friendly and helpful lady and often asked us if everything was still okay. We felt very safe in the quiet Karo village. The church across the road is the most beautiful building and the ringing of the church bell on Sunday morning was special. Residents of Williston are very friendly. Would definitely recommend Karoo Tranquility if you are looking for accommodation in Williston.

Overnight stay travelling to the Cape Province.

Easy to find and not on the main road so very peaceful. It's an old house with charm and for our group of three adults, it served it's purpose perfectly as our dogs also accompanied us on the trip. Thank you to Klara for permitting their stay. There is also off-street parking. We will definitely recommend Karoo Tranquillity.

Ons het heerlik in Williston by Karoo Tranquillity gekuier en geslaap. Dis die pragtigste tipiese Karoo dorpshuis wat baie mooi gerestoreer is.

Ons was 'n gesin van 8 volwassenes en almal het heerlik geslaap, genoeg warmwater om te stort en elkeen 'n warmwatersakkie, net jammer sommige beddens het nie warm komberse of elektriese komberse gehad nie en 2 kamers ook nie verwarmers nie. Gelukkig was dit nie die naweek so koud soos dit in die Karoo kan raak nie. Die kaste in die kamers is pragtig, maar binne-in nie netjies nie. In die kombuis is basies als wat benodig word, behalwe daar was nie genoeg groot borde en gewone messegoed vir almal nie. Als behalwe die een verwarmer is in 'n goeie werkende toestand, net jammer die vrieskas was vol privaat goed, maar ons kon darem ons vleis ook daar ingekry het. Verder het ons heerlik gebly en sal in die toekoms beslis weer daar gaan bly!

We had a great time visiting and sleeping in Williston at Karoo Tranquility. It's the most beautiful typical Karoo town house that has been very nicely restored.

We were a family of 8 adults and everyone slept great, enough hot water to shower and each a hot water bag, just a shame some beds didn't have warm blankets or electric blankets and 2 rooms didn't have heaters either. Fortunately, it wasn't as cold as it can get in the Karoo this weekend. The cupboards in the rooms are beautiful, but not tidy inside. In the kitchen there is basically everything that is needed, except that there were not enough large plates and normal cutlery for everyone. All apart from the one heater is in good working condition, just a pity the freezer was full of private things, but at least we could have got our meat in there too. Furthermore, we had a wonderful stay and will definitely stay there again in the future!

Ongelukkig nie die geld werd nie.

Ongelukkig was die huis nie baie skoon nie, dit voldoen vir seker nie aan die standaard soos geadverteer nie, en is beslis ongelukkig nie die geld werd nie. Dit lyk asof iemand permanent in die huis woon, en dit toe net vinnig reg geskuif het vir ons aankoms. Daar is geen Wifi soos geadverteer nie.

Unfortunately not worth the money.

Unfortunately the house was not very clean, it certainly does not meet the standard as advertised, and is certainly not worth the money unfortunately. It looks like someone lives in the house permanently, and then just quickly moved it right for our arrival. There is no Wifi as advertised.

Hallo Johan

Baie jammer om dit te hoor. Jy het niks genoem in die boodskappe toe ons met mekaar gepraat het nie.

Ek het nou net weer gaan kyk en op my profiel staan daar dat daar nie Wi-Fi beskikbaar is nie. Ek hett nog nooit Wi-Fi by die huis gehad nie.

Niemand bly permanent daar nie en ek sorg altyd dat die huis skoon is voor gaste kom.

Baie dankie vir jou terugvoer. Ek sal definitief daarna oplet in die toekoms.

Lekker dag.

"Home away from home"-ervaring met uitstekende diens.

Die plek is in 'n plattelandse dorpie, maar Klara, die eienaar, het deur haar weldeurdagte inrigting van die huis asook haar behulpsaamheid en vriendelikheid die verblyf baie aangenaam gemaak. Haar fokus op klein detail soos kruideniersware vir selfsorg, elektriese komberse, hout vir vuurmaak, kwaliteit en genoeg toiletpapier en selfs genoeg handdoeke vir almal het baie beteken. Sy't selfs voortdurend gebel en ook kom inloer om seker te maak ons is geholpe.

"Home away from home" experience with excellent service.

The place is in a rural village, but Klara, the owner, made the stay very pleasant through her well-thought-out arrangement of the house as well as her helpfulness and friendliness. Her focus on small details such as groceries for self-catering, electric blankets, wood for fires, quality and enough toilet paper and even enough towels for everyone meant a lot. She even called constantly and also stopped by to make sure we were helped.
