Gardens are beautiful and everything is so peaceful.
I had problems with communication. TV didn't work at all, but I was told 3 times that someone was on their way to fix it, but no one showed up. Certain wall plugs suddenly didn't work, even though the lights were on. Only later received the message that it was loadshedding. It was unpleasant to report every time and nothing happens.

Milk and bottles of water in fridges were pleasant. Maybe just look at salt and pepper shaker refills. But really enjoyed it.

We had a great time relaxing. It's a beautiful, peaceful environment. The gardens and cottages are particularly beautiful and homely.
The only problem was that the owners and staff are not with the staff after 17.00. This makes it slightly difficult to locate the particular house as the houses are not marked. The owner sent a message during the week to see inbook before 17.00. In my opinion this is something that should be mentioned before booking as many people work and cannot be there that early.

Although there was a nice coffee machine there was no coffee for the filter coffee machine. However, there were bags of coffees, tea and sugar.

We thank the guest for the comments regarding the gorgeous garden and unit. Every effort is taken to ensure the cleanliness of rooms prior to occupation and inspections are carried out to this end. Concerning the shower rose, it was replaced recently and the geyser was replaced only one week ago. Loadshedding certainly presents challenges with ensuring that hot water is always available on demand, this is regrettable and we apologize for any inconvenience. Single rooms do not have kitchens, they are not intended to be self-catering units. However, utilities such as a microwave and a bar fridge are provided for the convenience of guests, as are a limited supply of coffee sachets, tea bags, sugar, and guest toiletries. We have followed up on the specific observations of the guest and where actions can be taken to remedy issues, this will be done.

A tea/coffee tray is provided with cups, tea bags, bottled water, etc. as refreshments for guests. La Bastide Guest House is not a Bed and Breakfast establishment, and is not advertised as such.
On request and by agreement we do attempt to meet guests` reasonable requirements.

Value for money.
It's our second time here, once in a room and once in the self-catering unit. It's very cute and value for money. Maybe only intimate cleaning can be looked at (cobwebs in the corner of the wall and dead ants behind the bed) can see there was an ant problem, we also had ant eggs by the bedside table etc. (don't know if it fell from the roof). Furthermore, it was very nice and very beautiful! Will definitely book there again. Lots of lawn for kids and play area (could be washed off a bit, very full of dust) but very cute spot for a quick getaway.

They will have to get aircons in rooms. Very warm environment. Then they will also have to pay more attention to the overall cleanliness of rooms.
Aircons a requirement. Maybe apply more pest control. Lots of spiders and bugs. Spiders are very large. Also pay more attention to overall cleanliness of rooms. I understand loadshedding is out of their control, but they will have to offer alternative options for guests and just make sure there are lights in the evening when guests return from a function.

We thank the guest for providing a review, much of which we are delighted is positive.
We are extremely concerned that the rating for customer service was poor as we are normally favourably rated on this aspect of the experience. Unfortunately no issues were raised by the guest during the stay.
We are aware that owing to the late arrival time of the guest as well as their movements over the weekend, that there was no interaction between the guest and staff on site, which is regrettable. It is our policy to interact with guests, but if circumstances do not permit this, it is an opportunity lost.

It was quiet and pretty. The unit we stayed in was cosy, but can do with a thorough cleaning, but I suppose it's alright for a few days.
La Bastide 's response
We sincerely regret that your experience disappointed.
Following rains combined with hot weather, there was an outbreak of insects in the area at that time which was challenging to control.
We have taken note of the other comments and will review our procedures where necessary with a focus on housekeeping.

Sadly, Eskom load shedding combined with a cable which was broken by a fallen branch off a tree on a neighbouring property combined to produce this unfortunate and entirely unexpected result, which we have not previously experienced, a sort of "Black Swan" event. We will give consideration to establishing a gas heating option as a stand by emergency for guests who have bookings in self-catering cottages.

Thank you for your review. While the overall rating given was well below what we would have liked, we note that you had an `awesome` time and that your only concern was the swimming pool.
We have a gardener who cleans the pool daily as well as on a Saturday. There have been storms over the past weeks and it is quite possible that the wind blew leaves from the tree. The pool has been checked subsequent to your stay and is sparkling.
We do apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you for your review and comment on the beauty of the property. The surroundings and mountain view too are magnificent, a true blessing! The accommodation is spread between three blocks and the single rooms are close to each other, built as they are in one block and not as separate cottages. We have attempted to create privacy by the positioning of the rooms with different perspectives and views as well as separate porches. If the privacy of the rooms was found wanting, we do apologise for this deficiency.

Was able to relax, cycle, walk, visit surrounding restaurants and enjoy beautiful mountains.
Communication was not to our liking, as we did not realize the owner was not on site at all. Robin was busy with route as we did not read e-mail in time before departure which indicated the route. Ruth was there every day to hear if we needed something and very friendly. The day before our reservation I called La Bastide to find out if they might have room for my daughter and 3 children. Left a message on my cell phone. Didn't get any feedback, negative or positive. checked again at Lekke-Slaap but yes all units were fully booked. Next to us a double room was open the entire period. Neither we nor Ruth knew what was going on as no one arrived there and she put such beautiful lavender flowers down for guests! Thank you Lekke-Slaap for your SMS about the route. We were then already in contact with Robin. When we left we received a call and my husband mentioned that we were only two people as booked. The question on that was "Didn't your daughter come!?" THE WHOLE OLD LONG STORY JUST TO CLARIFY THAT COMMUNICATION WAS NOT GOOD. THANKS HOWEVER FOR A WONDERFUL BREAK.

Was a peaceful getaway and very private.
We were attending a wedding at Green Leaves and I was able to arrange to check in earlier so we could get ready at the guest house for the function which was very convenient. The room was very nice and tidy. The welcome was very warm. Robin, the lady standing in for Gwen, communicated with us from early in the morning to make sure check-in was as quick and easy as possible. We also had trouble sending proof of payment and the owner of the guest house was kind enough to hold the reservation until I could sort out the proof of payment. There were also frequent calls and emails to make sure I was aware of the situation. Great job!

Good day,
It is unfortunate that the guest had an unsatisfactory experience. It would have been helpful to have been shown the problems at the time. The cleaning procedures are meticulously adhered to with inspections carried out prior to the guest arriving. It is difficult to understand how a small scorpion could have got under a pillow on the bed. It is possible that overnight a `daddy long legs` spider common in the area could have started a web. However, specifically, inspections are directed in part to this very sort of occurrence, prior to a guest taking occupation of accommodation rented.
Most reviews received are positive. Much feedback is received directly from guests who have booked direct, and is almost always positive.
La Bastide is promoted as being `quirky` and `quaint` - that will not appeal to certain people. It occupies a niche and positions itself as a country house in the French old country style. It is a `value proposition` and most guests comment that it offers good value for money, in a beautiful location and well situated for weddings, which is the main custom of the guest house. Most guests find the décor very different to the `run of the mill` guest house offering, and as such enjoy the different experience. The proprietors have recently commenced a programme which entails a review of the `product offering`. It is also important to ensure that the guest house remains an affordable one to its client base, which generally comprises younger people and wedding attendees.
King regards,
La Bastide
