Central, safe and roomy.

It was a pleasure to stay at Kenilworth Down. We shared the place with our employees and it was truly a special experience for us.

Easy and worth money.

All kinds of shops were very near by, the house was very clean and comfortable, beds slept very well, and the location was good.

Meer as wat ons verwag het, netjiese plek.

Plek was perfek vir wat ons gaan doen het in die area. Ek sal vir seker weer bespreek vir iets soortgelyks.

Very enjoyable stay. Will definitely stay there again.

We had a very comfortable stay. The position was perfect for our needs as it was within walking distance to the Kenilworth mall, Access Park, and the badminton hall. It had everything we needed for our week-long stay. Particularly enjoyed the full DSTV selection for all the sport. The host was very accessible and responded quickly to our queries.

Erection of a swimming pool.

Veilig alhoewel min voorsiening gemaak is vir gaste.

Ons het per vliegtuig gereis en kon nie skoomaakmiddels, toiletpaper en toiletsproei saamneem nie en is nie vooraf ingelig dat dit nie voorsien sal word nie. Daar was slegs 2 rolle toiletpapier, een per badkamer. Die toiletsproeie in albei badkamers was daar, maar leeg. Geen Handy Andy of enige ander skoonmaakmiddels nie - slegs 'n klein bietjie opwasseep (van die goedkoopste op die mark). Ons moes noodgewonge hierdie artikels by die winkel gaan aankoop. Dit sou waardeer word indien ons hieroor vooraf ingelig is. Die verblyf is duur en daar kan gerus op hierdie aspek gelet word.

Safe although little provision was made for guests.

We traveled by plane and could not take cleaning products, toilet paper and toilet spray with us and were not informed in advance that they would not be provided. There were only 2 rolls of toilet paper, one per bathroom. The toilet sprays in both bathrooms were there, but empty. No Handy Andy or any other cleaning agents - just a little dish soap (some of the cheapest on the market). We had to go and buy these articles at the store. It would be appreciated if we were informed about this in advance. The accommodation is expensive and attention can be paid to this aspect.

Baie teleurgesteld

Die beddegoed is baie duidelik nie gewas nie en vuil gewees. Die asblik het nog die vorige gaste se vuilgoed in gehad ens. Ons het daaroor gekla. Ewe skielik kom die mense toe terug om te sê ons het 'n venster- en deurslot gebreek, wat totale nonsens is en ons het geen rede om 'n ander persoon se besittings te beskadig nie. Ons het ook nie reggestaan met 'n pen en papier om elke kraak in die muur neer te skryf nie. As ons geweet het dat die eienaars so gaan reageer en hulle instandhoudingsprobleme op ons gaan neer pin, omdat ons ontevrede is met die toestand van ons verblyf, sou ons definitief daar gaan staan het en elke krakie, chip in die muur ens. neergeskryf het. Dis heeltemal onaanvaarbaar. Wat die verblyf aanbetref: uiters onprofessioneel, vuil en oneerlik.

Very disappointed

The bedding was very clearly unwashed and dirty. The bin still had the previous guests' rubbish in it etc. We complained about it. All of a sudden the people then come back to say we broke a window and door lock, which is total nonsense and we have no reason to damage another person's belongings. We also didn't stand around with a pen and paper to write down every crack in the wall. If we had known that the owners were going to react like this and pin their maintenance problems on us, because we are dissatisfied with the condition of our accommodation, we would have definitely stood there and every crack, chip in the wall etc. wrote down. It's completely unacceptable. Regarding the accommodation: extremely unprofessional, dirty and dishonest.

The bedroom door had been torn off the hinges and the glass of the window broken in the bedroom. Our home was left in a disgusting state. Only close-up photos of dirt on linen were shown. Could be any linen. We take great pride in our home and renting it out.

Nagmerrie

2 uur gesoek na die plek, geen naam of nommer op huis nie, net 'n nommer op 'n asblik wat in die donker staan en Kenilworth Down is nie verkrybaar op Maps nie. Uiteidelik of die eienaar of die agent in die hande gekry, stuur toe vir my verkeerde pin, agent of eienaar se selnommer, nog 'n uur toe kry ons die regte pin drop. Geweldig gesukkel om die sleutel in die hande te kry, moet deur die tralies werk van die skuif hek om die slot wat op muur geinstalleer is by te kom. En dit is donker, kan nie die slot se nommers sien nie en as jy die remote in jou gesukkel sou raak druk is jou arm af. Tewyl jy in die straat staan want daar is nie plek voor hek om te parkeer nie. Die spasie tussen hek en pad baie klein. Ek het die hele tyd onseker gevoel en rond gekyk, Jy is 'n "sitting duck" in die pad en ek sukkel in die donker om die slot oop te kry. Baie gevaarlike opset. En toe ons in die huis inkom uiteindelik, toe is daar net koue water, so is ons die volgende oggend op die vliegtuig sonder om te bad, ek, my vrou en twee kinders. En dit was geweldig koud in die Kaap die naweek. Ek sal die plek glad nie aanbeveel vir die redelike man met inbors nie. Die plek is ook duur.

Nightmare

2 hours looking for the place, no name or number on house, just a number on a bin standing in the dark and Kenilworth Down is not available on Maps. Eventually either the owner or the agent got hold of it, then sent me the wrong pin, agent or owner's cell number, another hour and we got the correct pin drop. Had tremendous trouble getting hold of the key, had to work through the bars of the sliding gate to access the lock installed on the wall. And it's dark, can't see the lock's numbers and if you struggle to touch the remote, your arm is off. While you are standing in the street because there is no place in front of the gate to park. The space between gate and road very small. I felt insecure the whole time and looked around, You are a "sitting duck" in the road and I struggle in the dark to get the lock open. Very dangerous setup. And when we finally got into the house, there was only cold water, so the next morning we got on the plane without bathing, me, my wife and two children. And it was extremely cold in the Cape at the weekend. I would not recommend the place at all to the reasonable man with chest. The place is also expensive.

Such a pity you did not phone immediately when you could not find the house. I don’t understand why you waited two hours before contacting me.
