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.

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".

How do you determine the accommodation category of your places? When was the last time you were at Kleinbottelary for evaluation?

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.
Groete,

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
