Vreedsaam, pragtig, veilig.

Dit was 'n besondere lekker kuier, die eienaar het selfs gehelp met Uber en met my op die foon gebly tot ek veilig was. Hulle loop die ekstra myl, ek sal beslis mense verwys en ons kom ongetwyfeld weer hier bly.

Peaceful, beautiful, safe.

It was a particularly nice visit, the owner even helped with Uber and stayed on the phone with me until I was safe. They go the extra mile, I will definitely refer people and we will definitely stay here again.

Ons het baie lekker gebly, dankie!

Ons het heerlik gebly. Gasvrou het uit haar pad gegaan om ons tegemoet te kom toe ons aandui dat ons laat die aand gaan opdaag. Dis geleë in so 'n pragtige landelike gebied naby Stellenbosch en 'n hele klomp goeie wynkelders! Baie bekostigbaar! Die hele woonstel was oopplan, so, daar was ongelukkig nie privaatheid vir die "hoofslaapkamer" nie.

We had a great stay, thank you!

We had a wonderful stay. Hostess went out of her way to accommodate us when we indicated that we would be arriving late in the evening. It's located in such a beautiful rural area near Stellenbosch and a whole lot of good wineries! Very affordable! The whole apartment was open plan, so unfortunately there was no privacy for the "master bedroom".

Hello Elmarie,

Ek is jammer dat julle nie 'n lekker ervaring gehad het nie. Ek verstaan nie die feit dat julle nie veilig gevoel het nie. Ons woon in 'n plaas omgewing. Daar is ongelukkig baie werkershuise - aangesien dit wingend plase is, is die plase nie groot nie. Die musiek kon van enige van ons buurplase wees. Ek sien jy het vir alles net 1 gegee - so ek neem aan dat jy nie gelukkig was nie. Ek is nogmaals baie jammer oor julle swak ervaring.

Het nie voldoen aan die webtuiste se advertensie nie.

Ons het voor die tyd navraag gedoen oor die beskikbaarheid van koffie en WiFi om seker te maak voor ons bespreek, dit was bevestig van die webtuiste af. Webtuiste adverteer: “Gratis WiFi is beskikbaar” Daar was geen WiFi in die wooneenheid nie, wel buite in die wind en weer of in ‘n ander gebou het ‘n vrou wat daar aangekom en ons meegedeel. Ons het daar gaan bly om navorsing te doen in die kothuis in die rustige plaas atmosfeer en kon dit dus nie doen nie. Ons moes elke dag ry om ‘n WiFi fasiliteit te kry. Daar was geen koffie of melk nie. Die stort se drein was verstop en die water het opgedam as jy stort. Die bad se handstort-hefboom werk nie, so jy tap die badwater in met die handstort wat ‘n koue bad tot gevolg het. Website adverteer: “Die kothuise word elke dag van die week gedeeltelik skoon gemaak”. Daar was geen skoonmaakdiens van enige aard vir die hele tydperk nie. Handdoeke is nie na 3 dae vervang nie. Die TV se KykNet kanaal werk nie. Na die beurtkrag het die alarm die heeltyd gebeep. Die dubbelbed is onprakties hoog en die matras is nie op standaard nie. My vrou het op die enkelbed geslaap. Van gasvryheid was daar geen sprake nie. Daar is ‘n panelverwarmer in die muur met geen kragpunt om dit te gebruik nie. Daar is ’n elektriese kombers met geen kragprop om die in te prop nie.

Did not live up to the website's advertisement.

We inquired ahead of time about the availability of coffee and WiFi to make sure before we booked, this was confirmed from the website. Website advertises: "Free WiFi is available" There was no WiFi in the residential unit, although outside in the wind and weather or in another building a woman who arrived there and informed us. We stayed there to do research in the cottage in the peaceful farm atmosphere and were therefore unable to do so. We had to drive every day to get a WiFi facility. There was no coffee or milk. The shower drain was blocked and the water pooled when you showered. The bath's hand shower lever doesn't work, so you tap the bath water with the hand shower, which results in a cold bath. Website advertises: "The cottages are partially cleaned every day of the week". There was no cleaning service of any kind for the entire period. Towels were not replaced after 3 days. The TV's KykNet channel does not work. After the load shedding, the alarm beeped the whole time. The double bed is impractically high and the mattress is not up to standard. My wife slept on the single bed. There was no question of hospitality. There is a panel heater in the wall with no power point to use it. There is an electric blanket with no power plug to plug it into.

Not worth what we paid.

We just needed a place to sleep for one night while attending a family function in the area. Our room was just that sleeping area, lounge and kitchen all in one room with a separate bathroom. The four poster bed was very comfortable and had a heated under blanket which was great! The sleeper couch (for our 2 young children) had been set up for us prior to arrival which we appreciated as it was late. However, it split in half, width ways, during the night which left our children on the hard floor. When my husband reassembled it the next morning, he discovered there was a piece missing. The place was clean enough, but is slightly on the tired and grubby side - the bathroom has signs of damp on the walls and ceiling (there is no window, just an extractor fan above the shower). There was a limited supply of tea, coffee and hotel-style long life milk in tiny containers - enough for 1 cup of coffee each. All in all, the room served its purpose (except for the broken sleeper couch), but definitely wasn't worth R850; more like R600.

Klein Bottelary 's response

Hello Coleen,
Sorry about the experience regarding the couch. We have replaced it with a brand new one. Regarding Coffee & Tea etc. It is self catering therefore we only supply on arrival.
We do advertise that it is a "bachelor style" accommodation. No bedrooms :)
We would love to host you and your family again.
Yes - it is a very old farm - we have renovated the horse / cow stables in accommodation. Also the windows in the bathroom - which is non existant serves for security purposes as we are close at the back to a road that a lot of people use. We do have electric fencing around the property.
Kindest Regards,
Elmarene

Klein Bottelary is baie sentraal geleë en het perfek by ons naweek planne ingeval.

Die huisies was alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Ons kon heerlik braai daar die Sondagaand en dit was net 3 km van waar ons 'n troue bygewoon het. Dit het ons perfek gepas. Ek sal dit enige tyd aanbeveel. Dit was baie bekostigbare verblyf met alles wat ons nodig gehad het.

Pragtige ligging, maar teleurstellende verblyf.

Ons het vyf dae oorgeslaap. Daar was vir drie dae hiervan byna geen water nie ten spyte van die feit dat ons dit aangemeld het by die gasvrou. Klein Bottelary kan deur een of twee verbeterings op die beskikbaarheid van skoonmaakgeriewe (bv. die verskaffing van 'n besem, leegmaak van asblikke, skoonmaak van braai-area ens.) in 'n topgehalte-selfsorg-eenheid verander.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Beautiful location, but disappointing stay.

We overslept for five days. There was almost no water for three days of this despite the fact that we reported it to the hostess. With one or two improvements to the availability of cleaning facilities (eg provision of a broom, emptying of bins, cleaning of braai area etc.) Klein Bottlery could turn into a top quality self-catering unit.

Rustige natuurskoon, plaaskothuis.

Elmarene het ons hartlik ontvang en is baie gewillig om te help waar nodig om dit lekker te maak. Die verblyf is tipiese kothuisverblyf, laat mens tuis voel op die plaas. Die self-catering is net beperk tot 'n tweeplaatstoof en mikrogrolfoond, so jy kan nie regtig selfonderhoudend wees nie.

Tranquil scenery, farm cottage.

Elmarene received us warmly and is very willing to help where necessary to make it enjoyable. The accommodation is typical cottage accommodation, makes you feel at home on the farm. The self-catering is only limited to a two-plate stove and microwave, so you can't really be self-sufficient.

Easy access to local sights and friendly service from owners.

Pleasant experience being on a farm so close to cities without being affected by the city noise. Would recommend to a couple travelling without children as the sleeper couch was extremely uncomfortable for our two teenage boys. Sadly, the DSTV didn't work so they missed out on the cricket viewing. Elmarene tried everything in her power to rectify it, but we had to admit defeat. All in all a good location from which to access Stellenbosch and environs.

Hi Robyn,
Thank you for the review - I am still extremely sorry about the Cricket.

Onveilig

Die plaas is onveilig. Eienaars is ver van verblyf, weet nie eers wat aangaan nie. Dis 'n groot huis, hulle kan meer kombuistoerusting verskaf, ligte replace wat nie werk nie en werk aan veiligheid. Blykbaar het 'n alarm het afgegaan (volgens sekuriteit), eienaars nie eers geweet daarvan nie tot ons hulle vertel het. Security op plans (ons weet nie eers of dit regtig sekuriteit op plans was nie), aan voordeurknop gedraai en by venster ingeloer. Ons het nog nooit so onveilig gevoel nie. Alle respek vir boere op plase, maar as jy dit 'n gastehuis maak, maak seker jy't die regte sekuriteit.

Unsafe

The farm is unsafe. Owners are far from accommodation, don't even know what's going on. It's a big house, they can provide more kitchen equipment, replace lights that don't work and work on safety. Apparently an alarm went off (according to security), owners didn't even know about it until we told them. Security on plans (we don't even know if it was really security on plans), turned the front door knob and peeked in through the window. We have never felt so unsafe. All respect to farmers on farms, but if you make it a guest house, make sure you have the right security.

Klein Bottelary 's response

Hello Elzanne,

Dankie vir jou "review". Ek wil net graag 'n paar punte uitlig. Die plaas is nie onveilig nie - nie meer as enige ander plek in Suid-Afrika nie. Ons verblyf - as eienaars - is slegs 1 km vanaf die gaste verblyf. Ten tyde van jou verblyf het altwee cottages langsaan jou gaste in gehad. Daar is ook twee families wat permamente inwoners op die perseel is - wat almal daar was.
Jy het nie in 'n groot huis en/of gaste huis gebly nie, maar in 'n selfsorg bachelors cottage. Elke cottage het sy eie alarm. Jou alarm het nie afgegaan nie. Ek sal wel die saak opneem met die sekuriteits maatskappy oor die klop aan die deur ens. Vir jou inligting - ja ons het "proper" sekuriteit - hulle is SJC Security van Brakenfell, Weskaap.
Aangaande die kombuis toerusting ens - ek het tog toe ek vir julle ingeboek het gesê - ek is net 'n oproep ver. Skakel my gerus vir enige iets. Ek het nooit 'n oproep ontvang nie.
Ek het ook nie die "nag van die klop aan die deur" iets van julle gehoor nie.

Ons is baie jammer dat julle een nag van julle drie nagte 'n slegte ervaring gehad het - en vra omverskoning daarvoor.

Groete
Elmarene Fischer

Stay was good. More activities to be included on the farm for kids.

We enjoyed the stay but Wi-Fi was not included as advertised which was a bit unsatisfying.

We had a problem with our Wi-Fi Supplier, it has been re-instated.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Lieflike plek, waarde vir geld.

Eintlik het ons nie baie tyd daar spandeer nie aangesien ons deurgegaan het vir die oval track SA's in Kuilsrivier, maar dit is 'n lieflike plek.

Lieflike landelike omgewing, goed geleë naby Stellenbosch teen billike prys.

Lieflike landelike omgewing, goed geleë naby Stellenbosch teen 'n billike prys vir die area. Die plaashuis is nou 'n onthaalsaal en die gastehuise is geplaas om die ou plaasopstal. Die gasvrou was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam - sy het ook van die plaas se wyn vir ons gegee om te proe aangesien dit nie kommersieel beskikbaar is nie. Die plaas is stil en ontspanne. Die huisie lyk presies soos belowe op die foto's - funksioneel met alles wat jy nodig het. My tiener het net die WiFi gemis - maar die gebrek daaraan oorleef en die natuur geniet. Daar is genoegsame sekuriteit en ons het veilig gevoel om op die plaas rond te loop en te ontspan om die braaivleisvuur in die aand. Ons sal beslis weer daar tuis gaan.

Lovely rural setting, well located near Stellenbosch at a reasonable price.

Lovely rural setting, well located near Stellenbosch at a reasonable price for the area. The farmhouse is now a reception hall and the guest houses are placed around the old farmstead. The hostess was very friendly and helpful - she also gave us some of the farm's wine to taste as it is not commercially available. The farm is quiet and relaxing. The cottage looks exactly as promised in the photos - functional with everything you need. My teenager only missed the WiFi - but survived the lack of it and enjoyed nature. There is sufficient security and we felt safe walking around the farm and relaxing around the barbecue fire in the evening. We will definitely stay there again.

Lovely countryside so close to the city.

The hostess was really nice. The location and view beautiful and so close to everything. The old little house, however, needs some TLC, but I would stay there again.

Bekostigbaar.

Die plekkie is baie sentraal geleë, die pad kan egter aandag geniet. Die eienares het enige probleme wat ons ervaar het dadelik opgelos. Die tweeplaatstofie het nie gewerk nie en is egter vervang nadat ek haar daarop gewys het. Die broodrooster was baie vuil. Ek sou die stofie op 'n aparte kas langs die yskas staanmaak vir gebruik daarvan. Die eienaars is baie gasvrye mense en ek sal hulle plekkie aanbeveel en weer gebruik, maar dan die groter eenheid.

Affordable.

The place is very centrally located, the road, however, needs attention. The owner resolved any problems we experienced immediately. The two-plate stove didn't work and was replaced, after I showed it to her. The toaster was very dirty. I would put the stove on a separate cabinet next to the refrigerator. The owners are very hospitable people and I would recommend their place and visit again, but I'd rather stay in the bigger unit.

Dit was 'n vreedsame verblyf met goeie diens.

Die ontvangs was baie vriendelik en die diens raakende skoonmaak was goed. Waterdruk in die badkamer was bietjie van 'n uitdaging. Dit was een van die min plekke waar ek al gekom het wat 'n behoorlike yskas het en nuut, baie goed. Die fasiliteite is veilig en vreedsaam en ek sal beslis weer van die fasiliteit gebruik maak.

The reception was friendly and the cleaning service was good. Water pressure in the bathroom was a bit challenging. It was one of the few places I stayed in that had a decent and neat fridge, excellent. The facilities are safe and I will stay here again.

Not what was promised

I think the owners are doing their best but it is not up to standard. The grass around the unit was very untidy and uncut. Not because it was a long weekend, the ridges in particular had not been cut for weeks. The advertisement indicates that these are single (detached) houses, but they are link houses. Furthermore, the description indicates that the unit has an open-plan living area, with a separate bedroom. This is not the case!! It's all open plan! I quote your advertisement: "The bedroom has a double bed. The living room and fully equipped kitchen share an open plan layout. There is a sofa bed in the living room suitable for children." It was disappointing, regardless of the friendly staff and their best efforts.
