Werksdoeleindes. Rustig en stil. Baie baie netjies.

Was beslis elke sent die moeite werd. Netjies skoon met 'n asemrowende see-uitsig. Gasheer was ongelooflik vriendelik en het 'n mens welkom laat voel.

Rustig, skoon en gerieflik.

Baie lekker gebly. Plek is ouerig maar skoon. Word elke dag ook skoongemaak. Daar is 'n generator en boorgat water. Ek kan dit gerus aanbeveel.

Dit was heerlik en die eienaar het so mooi na ons omgesien.

Die plekkie was goed ingerig en die dames het elke dag skoon gemaak. Daar was 'n lampie wat nie gewerk het en die eienaar het dit onmiddellik kom reg maak. Die eienaar is baie vriendelik en het ons ook plekke voor gestel om ons vakansie meer te geniet. Sal verseker weer terugkeer na Khaya La Manzi.

Die verblyf was veilig, skoon en netjies. Die etes wat bedien was, was uit die boonste rakke. Die eienaar was ongelooflik vriendelik en behulp saam. Die uitsig vanaf die balkon is asemrowend. Ek sal verseker weer daar tuis gaan.

Dit was heerlik om in die swembad te baljaar en die eenheid was netjies en skoon.

Die speelkamer was 'n plus vir die kinders, en die winkels lekker naby om vinnig wat ons nodig het te gaan koop. Het ons verblyf terdeë geniet.

The unit was old (renovated) with dilapidated furniture and without facilities we are used to.

The two roomed unit was old but renovated without space for all of us to occupy the communal facilities at the same time. The facilities and furniture in the unit was old and dilapidated. The children enjoyed the open areas and the swimming pool but a larger play areawith open air facilities will be a plus.

Khaya La Manzi Guest Lodge 's response

Good evening Mr Pelser

Thank you for the review. We are truly sorry you were not not happy. If I can take a moment to address your ratings -
We are unfortunately not a resort so do not have large outdoor facilities. But I believe there is an aerial photo displaying the property on our site.

As far as security, I am not sure what you felt was unsafe as we have not had a break in or breach in the 9 + years we have had the property, which I believe is an excellent testament to our security. There is armed response, security gate on your door, remote access entrance and garden sensors which notifies me in my apartment of all outside movement. You may have noticed the one at the bottom of the stairs to your apartment and others in driveway, etc.

The communal room is a shared area but not meant for all guests to occupy at once. It was added for children to be kept occupied and give parents a break but I did notice that you did not permit your children to go there - and did not like them mixing with the other children. I was under the impression it was just a cultural difference. We are sorry you were disappointed. Again, I believe there is a photo on our site.

I am unsure as to your response on customer service and cleanliness, as we included complimentary (no charge) daily service of your apartment and all the times we spoke, you seemed happy and I thought we got along.
The couch and TV in the apartment were brand new and bed/mattress only half way through their life spans, so I am a little confused and not sure how to respond to the dilapidated furniture comment.
We unfortunately, at the rates charged, cannot afford top of the range furniture.

Once again please accept our apologies. I do believe I do everything I can do to give guests a pleasant holiday - obviously within the confines of the low rates. I wish you had expressed your dissatisfaction whilst here.

Verblyf vir 2 dae was nodig op kort kennisgewing.

Die eienaar se vriendelikheid het en die see uitsig was die positiewe punte. Die stort is skoon maar is 'n nou gangetjie; nie werklik 'n stort nie. Daar is nie 'n vollengte spieël nie en die halwe spieël wat daar is, hang te hoog om van waarde te wees. Die kombuis is netjies en skoon maar alles voel of daar bietjie aandag nodig is.

Translate to English.

Accommodation for 2 days was needed at short notice.

The owner's friendliness and the sea view were the positive points. The shower is clean but is a narrow corridor; not really a shower. There is no full length mirror and the half mirror that is there hangs too high to be of value. The kitchen is neat and clean but everything feels like it needs some attention.

Die plekkie was "oraaiterig", maar ek het 'n bietjie meer verwag.

Die ontvang was goed. Die plekkie was redelik netjies, maar baie afgeweer. Ek kon nie met my kredietkaart die rekening betaal nie en moes kontant betaal. As mens in ag neem die omgewing rondom die dorp (Hibberdene), kan 'n mens seker nie meer verwag nie. Daar is nie te veel goed wat op die dorpie gebeur nie en dit vertoon maar redelik arm.

The place was "cheesy", but I expected a little more.

The reception was good. The place was quite neat, but very run down. I could not pay the bill with my credit card and had to pay in cash. Considering the environment around the town (Hibberdene), one can probably expect no more. There is not too much good happening in the village and it appears quite poor.
