Peaceful, beautiful surroundings, comfort.

It was simply wonderful! My daughter and I wanted a mother/daughter weekend and the venue was perfect for this. Jeremiah and his team catered to our every need. The food was delicious - our compliments to the chef! We will definitely return and this time we will book some sessions at the spa.

Memorable.

What a beautiful and unique place! We had a wonderful stay. It's actually an experience rather than just accommodation! The staff were super friendly and catered to all our needs. The food was amazing, and breakfast down by the river was sublime! Such lovely little touches like fresh flowers on the tables and a rose on the cutlery at breakfast - we absolutely loved it! Thank you for a memorable stay.

Good afternoon ... bonjour Karen,

Terrible stay. The guests that were there vouched never to return.

If you gonna book this place, be sure to know that the pics you see on the web vs. what you actually going to see are not the same, it’s a poorly kept establishment with linen and towels that smell mouldy. The rats in the ceiling at night are insane (the owner told me “What do you expect, there are rats in South Africa). The traffic noise outside is terrible. The owner is a defensive lady who seemed to be looking for a fight when I gave her feedback. I paced up and down in the eating hall until other guests left to confront me (which was a good thing for her cause she would have been super embarrassed if she had verbally attacked me in the manner she did, in their presence). The walls are dusty with cobwebs that have been there for. Sometimes, this shows the lack of proper housekeeping. We were booked for 2 nights but left after one night. Couldn’t even risk taking a shower/bath. Good luck to this 48-year-old establishment. There’s. Loads more I could mention but I’ll leave it here. Oh. Two of many more things. The room my wife and I booked (wife’s birthday weekend) was not the room we chose on the website so the host then decided to give us an upgrade as per the owner. This was decided cause I did not want to stay at that establishment. We took a tour of all the rooms and the drunk host told my wife to hurry up and choose because other guests were arriving (1 more couple). 🤣🤣🤣. The food omg. Disgusting. In my opinion, I’ll never recommend this place.

La Provence d' Afrique 's response

Good day, we always appreciate constructive criticism and strive to give our guests the best we can offer in our rustic and quaint venue that has been built up over 48 years with architectural relics from France to depict an old 14th century village! Yes, there is always room for improvement and we did give this guest an option of upgrading but still unhappy. So sorry we really tried our best! Our food is homecooked French country food on a plat du jour menu -- meal of the day -- discussed in advance with the guests. We have a set menu and do dinner baskets which have always been popular with the guests (home cooked, wholesome & flavourful) cooked by our same chef for the last 10 years. Served in our French street cafe with large fireplaces & French music -- we will strive to keep on doing better. Marguerite & team.

Dankie vir 'n wonderlike verblyf. Almal vreeslik vriendelik en almal gaan uit hulle pad. Dankie dat ons hondjie ook kon saamgaan. Kos was voortreflik met heerlikste bederfies en in verskillende eetvertrekke en veral by die rivier. stunning! Massering ook heerlik en almal baie professioneel. Jeremaih en sy span was altyd behulpsaam. Groot dankie vir hulle. Sal verseker weer gaan.

Bome, voëls en rivier, met kuns en oudhede. So romanties!

Dit was heerlik. Tussen kuns en natuur en oudhede met baie persoonlike diens van die eienaar en die bestuurder kon ons nie vir beter gevra het nie. Beslis anders en uniek. 'n Heerlike romantiese ervaring vir ons 33ste huweliksherdenking.

Beautiful setting.

Would recommend more activities to do on-site as you have to drive everywhere to do anything. They offer massages but it is a bit expensive as well as their drinks at the little wagon are extremely expensive. The cottage I stayed in was very small compared to the 1 photo you see on their website, but then again, that is probably why they only show 1 photo of the unit. Other than that it is very clean and the staff is amazing. I almost feel bad for complaining about the small stuff.

Goeiemore Colien,
Dankie vir jou resensie ons waardeer altyd opbouende kritiek.
Ons cottages is almal die groote van die "sunflower" wat wel n klein sit area
bo in die loft area het sowel as onder 'n badkamer & koffiestasie met tafel & bankies in die sit area?
Ons Woud Spa en Antieke kroegpryse is volgens alle gelisensieerde kroeg, restaurant en

Rustig, romanties, gerieflik en prentjie-mooi.

Daar word baie moeite gedoen om 'n rustige atmosfeer te skep en jy ontspan onmiddelik soos jy nader stap. Wees reg om soos 'n koning te eet en wees gereed vir 'n welkome geselsie met Charles en Marguerite. Jeremiah en Innocent is sterre en is gereed vir enige uitdaging. Kersie op die koek is dat ek met 'n skoon, blink motor daar weg is. Uitgerus en verras dat 4 dae so gou verby gevlieg het. Sien my en my gade beslis weer.

Quiet, romantic, comfortable and picture-perfect.

A lot of effort is put into creating a peaceful atmosphere and you immediately relax as you walk closer. Be ready to dine like a king and be ready for a welcome chat with Charles and Marguerite. Jeremiah and Innocent are stars and are ready for any challenge. The icing on the cake is that I left with a clean, shiny car. Rested and surprised that 4 days flew by so quickly. Definitely see me and my spouse again.

Gasvryheid was regtig uitstekend.

Ons het die ontbyt langs die rivier baie geniet, dit het ons 'n geleentheid gegee om weer bietjie met ons volwasse kinders te "connect". Die verblyf self was baie gemaklik en gerieflik, ek sou graag net miskien 'n klein yskassie daarin wou hê. Jeremiah wat ons gasheer was, was regtig baie behulpsaam en vriendelik. Ons was selfs verras toe ons Sondagoggend vetrek dat ons karre skoon gewas is. Dankie vir die lekker kuier.

Hospitality was really excellent.

We really enjoyed the breakfast by the river, it gave us an opportunity to "connect" with our adult children again. The accommodation itself was very comfortable and convenient, I would have liked maybe a small fridge in it. Jeremiah who was our host was really very helpful and friendly. We were even surprised when we left on Sunday morning that our cars were washed clean. Thanks for the nice visit.

Baie rustig.

Is iets wat ek sal aanbeveel. Ek stel net voor La Provenced Africque let meer op na netheid. Was gaaf van julle dat ons 'n woonstel kon kies. Netheid laat 'n mens effe gril. Gordyne kan 'n bietjie gewas word. Die handdoeke lyk soos vloerlappe, alhoewel ek Saterdagoggend gevra het of ons ander handdoeke kan kry het dit nie gebeur nie. Kan regtig meer moeite doen met koffie (beter gehalte) en water in die woonstelle. Gebottelde water in plaas van 'n vles wat net 'n doily oor het. Jy weet nie wie hoes oor dit nie, hoe lank dit al daar staan nie. Masseerplekkie is oulik, maar weereens, skoon handdoeke vir elke gas sal voorgestel word, veral in die tye wat ons leef. Jy kon ruik dit was 'n paar keer gebruik. Gemaklikke tafetjie en stoele sal ook beter wees as die ongelyke draadtafeltjie. Die outjies was vriendelik en het Sondag selfs die karre skoon gemaak.

Very calm.

Is something I would recommend. I just suggest La Provenced Africque pays more attention to cleanliness. It was nice of you to let us choose an apartment. Cleanliness makes one cringe a bit. Curtains can be washed a little. The towels look like floor cloths, although I asked on Saturday morning if we could get other towels it didn't happen. Could really do more with coffee (better quality) and water in the apartments. Bottled water instead of a bottle that only has a doily left. You don't know who's coughing about it, how long it's been there. Massage place is cute, but again, clean towels for each guest would be suggested, especially in the times we live in. You could smell it was used a few times. Comfortable side tables and chairs will also be better than the uneven wire table. The guys were friendly and even cleaned the cars on Sunday.

Hierdie is 'n moet-beleef-ervaring wat jou neem op 'n antieke Europese reis in jou eie land!

Die kamers wissel van eenvoudige "cottage" ervaring tot luukse kamers met "Slipper bad" en hemelbed. Die kos word ook aanbeveel en die aandete in die straatkafee het 'n wonderlike atmosfeer. Dit het ons sommer na Italië laat verlang!

Ons was daar vir ons huweliksherdenking en het die baie geniet. Baie goeie ligging en die kamers was ruim en netjies. Ook goeie kliëntediens en Jermiah die bestuurder was baie behulpsaam.

Asemrowend mooi maar etes is beslis nie waarde vir geld nie.

Dit was die derde keer wat ons vir 'n naweek daar oorgebly het, en hoofsaaklik omdat dit so 'n pragtige plek is. Groot waardering vir die estetiese waarde en ondervinding. Die etes is teleurstellend, nie waarde vir geld nie, die wafels (nagereg) kon nie eers met 'n mes en vurk gesny word nie, en Sondag se ontbyt, 'n gekookte eier, 4 snytjies komkommer, 3 tamatietjies, 'n sny roosterbrood en 'n muffin. Spur bied beter waarde vir geld.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Breathtakingly beautiful but meals are definitely not value for money.

This was the third time we stayed there for a weekend, and mainly because it is such a beautiful place. Great appreciation for the aesthetic value and experience. The meals are disappointing, not value for money, the waffles (dessert) couldn't even be cut with a knife and fork, and Sunday's breakfast, a boiled egg, 4 slices of cucumber, 3 tomatoes, a slice of toast and a muffin. Spur offers better value for money.

Goeienaand Johan,
Baie jammer om te hoor van die kos! Ek sal dit definitief met die staf opneem!
Die waffels het hulle die 1ste keer probeer! Die ontbyt picnic is vars vrugtesap, koffie of tee, vars vrugteslaai , 2 soorte muffins, lekker gebraaide wors, wat spesiaal vir ons gemaak word, hardgekookte eiers & roosterbrood met botter & konfyte,
weet nie wat meer word verwag nie -- veral as julle al 2 keer voorheen daar was-- dis nog aldie jare dieselfde.
Groete,
Marguerite & staf

We where disappointed, left unhappy.

When we arrived on Thursday afternoon, they did prepare a room for us, very close to the River but it smelled very badly, very mouldy and closed up, curtains not clean and cupboards dirty inside. Then my husband sat on the bed and we knew the bed could not take both our weights, so we kindly asked for another room, which they helped us with at the lodge itself at an extra cost of R400. But on Thursday when we arrived, nothing else was cleaned, the garden was very unkept, but on Friday they had cleaners there. We must say the services from Jeremiah and the food from Innocent was top class. We also felt ripped off, as they offered us each a cocktail with supper and a bottle of sparking wine for breakfast, which cost us an extra R610 Rand for 4 cocktails and a bottle of sparkling wine, which cost R 90 in-store, we are supporting local facilities, but why do they try and rip you off like this? When we booked out the owner didn't even came to sort out our bill, when there was extra charge, Jeremiah had to run up and down to sort it, took over an hour to book out. Very disappointed. There was no price list or anything for you to see the prices on the drinks and the place was really dirty on Thursday and very smelly.

Fantastiese, romantiese wegbreek.

We celebrated our first anniversary at La Provence and it was wonderful. The staff was very friendly and always willing to help. The food was delicious and we greatly enjoyed our couples massage. We stayed in the La Passion suite, which was very romantic and enjoyed dinner baskets and cheese platters in front of the fireplace. The French street cafe and rest of the interior is also very beautiful and breakfasts alongside the river very relaxing. We had a wonderful weekend away from all the hustle and bustle and will definitely be coming back soon!

Dit is baie jammer om so 'n revue te kry, aangesien my spannetjie en ek regtig hard werk om beste diens moontlik te gee. Ons doen kaggels oral, sit elektriese komberse aan, vars blomme, bedien ontbyte by die rivier met warm komberse, doen begeleide woud stap roetes, bak en brou vars op die perseel.
Wees verseker ons sal aanhou probeer.

Baie dankie vir jou resensie. Ons is eintlik meer vir die romantiese paartjies en nie vir families ingerig nie. Ons kospryse is maar in vergelyking met restaurante. Die kinders was darem ook bo 18 jaar, dus eintlik volwassenes.
Ek is jammer jy het my elke keer gemis.

Fantastiese ervaring.

Ons het die naweek terdeë geniet. Die verblyf, kos, atmosfeer en diens was uitsonderlik. Selfs die spa ervaring was wonderlik. Ons sal beslis in die somer maande weer gaan. Ek kan net dink hoe mooi dit moet wees in die somer. Ons het die rustige en unieke atmosfeer geniet en alles was pynlik netjies en skoon. Ons kan die ervaring aanbeveel vir romantiese paartjies. Ons voertuig is selfs gewas voordat ons teruggekeer het huistoe.

We enjoyed the weekend so much. The accommodation, food, atmosphere was something else. Even the spa experience was wonderful. We will definitely be back in summer. I can just imagine how beautiful it must be in summer. We loved the peaceful, unique atmosphere and everything was spotless and tidy. We can recommend this experience to romantic couples. They ever washed our vehicle before we headed home.

Klein plattelandse Europese ervaring in Gauteng.

Die personeel is ongelooflik vriendelik en gaan uit hul pad om jou te akkommodeer. Die huisie is tipies Franse platteland, pragtig, knus en uniek. Die kos was heerlik met 'n vasgestelde spyskaart.

Asemrowend.

La Provence is heeltemal iets anders en het die mooiste dekor. Is so lekker rustig en die kliëntediens is puik. Die kos was vreeslik lekker en hulle maak dit baie spesiaal. Definitief 'n plekkie om te gaan om jou batterye te herlaai. Die ontbyt by die rivier in die oggende is die hoogtepunt. Die massering wat ons gehad het was ook uit die boonste rakke.

It was something different from the usual.

A very interesting concept. Room something special. Fire in the fireplace in the evenings was romantic and warm. The breakfast by the river was amazing - atmosphere great and meals delicious. A basket of good food in the evenings in the room by candlelight ended the day well. The excellent service of the manager and his team must be complimented.

Wonderful staff and venue, but could use some TLC.

The staff at La Provence are absolutely amazing. Jeremiah, Innocence, and Thembani are an asset and the wonderful ladies that gave us the most amazing massages! We stayed in the La Passion room and the decor suits the name perfectly, there are just a few suggestions that I would make, the room could do with new towels and linen and even if the look is 'rustic', it does verge slightly on rundown, it could do with a little TLC and a new coat of paint. We were warned in advance of the road noise, and it does become rather bothersome if you are trying to relax, perhaps thicker curtains to block out some of the noise? The 'pub' outside was wonderful and quaint and we enjoyed your delicious Gluhwein. The tables and chairs in both the pub and the cafe could perhaps do with new tablecloths and covers for the cushions. These are just a few suggestions of an otherwise wonderful experience. The breakfast at the river was wonderful and the dinner in both the cafe and the manor house was relaxed and romantic. Next time we will try one of the cottages, perhaps closer to the river. Thank you for a lovely stay in a unique atmosphere, I can't commend your staff enough.

La Provence d' Afrique 's response

Merci, will definitely look into that - the winter sheeting always looks antique but is warm and cosy. This look differs from the crisp, summer cotton look.

I am proud of my little team and they appreciate such lovely comments. Until we next meet!

My expectations were higher.

I enjoyed my stay there and the service was phenomenal. I enjoyed the breakfast by the river and the cute dinner baskets. That was excellent. The rooms were smaller then the images portrayed online. There was not enough lighting. The rooms were a bit too dark for me, other then that I really enjoyed. Thank you.

Ek dink dit is okay, het meer vewag, die plek is oudtyds en die diens is net die Vrydag baie goed, daarna gemiddeld.

Ek dink daar is beter plekke as die en ek dink dit is duur vir wat jy ontvang. Wat vir my sleg was, was dat hulle het nie 'n kaartfasiliet nie so ek moes rondry om kontant te bekom, mens loop nie meer rond met soveel kontant aan jou nie.

I think it is OK, expected more though, the place isold and the service was only good on Friday, and average after that.

I think there are better places than this and I think it is expensive for what you get. I didn't like the fact that they didn't have card facilities so I had to drive around to get cash. These days people don't carry so much cash on them.

Bon Jour vriende,
Ons plekkie stel 'n ou 16de eeu Franse dorpie voor 'outydse Franse ambiance' en ek verduidelik baie mooi in my info dat dit nie vir die moderne persoon is nie, ons noem ook dat ons nie kredietkaart fasiliteite het nie. Jammer, dis nie vir almal nie.
My staf is presies dieselfde persone oor naweke en ek is net nie die heeltyd aan diens nie. Ek is baie trots op my spannetjie.
Hulle is net daar om te help en te bederf waar hulle kan. Daar is 8 staf-lede vir 20 tot 22 mense.

Dit was absoluut fantasties!

Die naweek weg by La Provence d'Afrique was uit die boonste rakke. Almal is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Dit was vreemd om so veilig te wees aangesien ons in Witbank permanent agter slot en grendel is. Jeremia was kort-kort daar om te hoor of ons iets nodig het. Die etes was heerlik en die atmosfeer super romanties. Ontbyt langs die rivier, aandete by kerslig. Dit was ons 10de huweliksherdenking en 'n naweek wat ons nooit sal vergeet nie. Hulle het alles gedoen om dit spesiaal te maak. Die plek is fantasties en so rustig. Ons sal enige tyd weer terug gaan. Selfs ons kar is gewas voor ons die Sondag terug gery het.

It was absolutely fantastic!

The weekend away at La Provence d' Afrique was fantastic. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. It was strange being so safe as we are usually behind lock and key in Witbank. Jeremia was always available to find out whether we needed anything. The meals were lovely and the atmosphere very romantic. Breakfast next to the river, dinner by candlelight. It was our tenth wedding anniversary and a weekend we won't ever forget. They did everything to make it extra special. The place is fantastic and so tranquil. We will go back anytime. Even our car was washed before we returned on Sunday.

Ons ervaring by La Provence het ons verwagtinge ver oorskry!

'n Ervaring vanuit 'n ander wêreld waar verblyf, gasvryheid en atmosfeer nie maklik geëwenaar sal word nie. Aandag word geskenk aan die kleinste detail. Ons het tuisgegaan in La Passion en dit was asemrowend. Ons verblyf by La Provence sal vir altyd in ons gedagtenis ingeprent wees as ons Romantiese Franse Naweek 'n klipgooi van Centurion af. Ons kon net nie genoeg van La Provence inneem met ons kort tydjie daar nie. Ek sal definitief weer teruggaan.

We just couldn't take in enough of La Provence in our short time there. I will definitely go back again.

'n Buitengewoon fantastiese en unieke kuier.

Ons het ons huweliksherdenking hier gevier deur twee nagte in die "White Linen" suite deur te bring. Ons hele ervaring vanaf bespreking, vooraf kommunikasie en ontvangs was puik. Jeremiah die bestuurder het ons so professioneel ontvang en ingelig oor etes en ander reëlings. Marguerite het ons persoonlike aandag gegee. Die Franse atmosfeer en straatkafee sowel as piekniekmandjies by die rivier skep so 'n aangename, rustige atmosfeer. Al die gaste was so vriendelik en ons samesyn met hulle was besonders. Die spa behandeling was puik en het my vrou baie goed gedoen. La Provence d'Afrique word beslis aanbeveel.

La Provence d’ Afrique is a relaxation destination that enthralled our senses on so many levels.

My stay at La Provence d’ Afrique over New Year’s Eve and New Year’s night was memorable and we will definitely be back as soon as we get the chance. The romantic suite we were in (La Passion) has such interesting décor and ornaments, we were absolutely fascinated as we absorbed the care and thoughtful detail that went into the beautiful and styled décor. It was as if we had stepped into another time and era. The scenery, the river, the forest and the gardens are also stunningly beautiful and tranquil. We were well looked after during our stay, the service we received from Jeremiah, Innocence and the Spa ladies was impeccable. The hot stone therapy Spa massage was wonderfully revitalising. Our privacy was always respected even with the attentive service we received. The food was so tasty that we ate way too much! The evening picnic basket was delicious - a novel idea enjoyed by both of us. Compliments to the chef! For us, La Provence d’ Afrique is so much more than a home away from home - it is a relaxation destination that inspired and enthralled our senses on so many levels. We returned home feeling rested, refreshed and invigorated. Thank you all for your wonderful hospitality at your beautiful La Provence d’ Afrique!

Die gasheer is goed en probeer alles om jou gelukkig te hou. Daar is spinnekoppe net waar jy kyk.

Dit is 'n pragtige plek, maar vir die prys het ek gedink ons bespreek by 'n netjiese plek. Ou, swart stowwerige spinnekoprakke hang van die dak af en toe ek die skoonmaker vra om dit af te stof toe sê sy ag "it's spider season". En nee, sy het dit toe nie van die dak afgestof nie. Die doek wat oor die bed hang, is vuil en het muismis op gehad. Die disse in 'n mandjie is uiters onprakties. Ons souse het in en oor alles geloop. En daar is nie plek op die tafeltjie om alles neer te sit nie.

The host is really good and does everything to keep you happy. But there are spiders everywhere you look.

It's a beautiful place, but judging by the price I reckoned we had booked a clean place. Old, black, dusty cobwebs hung from the ceiling and when we asked the cleaner to dust a bit, she just laughed and said, "It's spider season." And no, she then didn't clean it. The throw over our bed was dirty and had mouse droppings on it. The meals in a basket are very impractical. The sauces mixed with everything. And there isn't space on the table to put everything down.

Beste Bets,

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer. Dit klink sowaar nie asof dit ons plekkie is waarvan jy praat nie. Ons het elke dag gaste en ons spannetjie skoonmakers en chefs is deel van die familie vir jare. Ek doen self inspeksie en ja, as daar reënweer is het die grasdakke soms 'n spinnerak binne sekondes, maar definitief nie soos in jou beskrywing is nie.

Ons aandmandjies is wel baie populêr. Ek sal met Jeremiah opvolg oor hoekom daar sous uitgeval het, miskien het dit skeef gestaan?

Ons streef na ietsie anders en besonders en sal weereens alles deurgaan.

Die atmosfeer, vriendelikheid en kos was goed. Net jammer dat dit so donker binne is en dat in my opinie dit onveilig is om op boonste verdieping te slaap. Daar is nie relings aan beide kante van trappe, en op die boonste verdieping net langs die trappe geen reling. Ek sou die sitkamer in 'n kamer omskep het, en die boonste verdieping in 'n sitkamer. Jy wil nie in die nag as jy toilet toe gaan met daardie trappe in die donker afgaan nie!

Unsafe with stairs that do not have railings on one side.

The atmosphere, friendliness and food were good. Just a pity that it is so dark inside and that in my opinion it is unsafe to sleep on the top floor. There are no railings on both sides of stairs, and on the top floor just next to the stairs no railing. I would have converted the living room into a room, and the upper floor into a living room. You don't want to go down those stairs in the dark when you go to the toilet at night!

Jammer julle het dit nie met my bespreek nie - dan kon ons cottages geruil het.
Dis altyd goed om opbouende kritiek direk van die gaste te hoor en miskien iets te kan verander.
Die cottage langs aan is vir ouer mense en het wel die slaapkamer onder reg langs die badkamer, sou so gou kon verander het?
Dis altyd vir my, as eienaar wat baie tyd aan my gaste spandeer, soos 'n klap indie gesig as gaste nie openlik met 'n mens gesels nie en so 'n swak resensie gee.

Ek het 'n heerlike ontspanne naweek geniet, iets spesiaals met 'n Europese atmosfeer!

Marguerite baie vriendelik en gasvry, Jeremiah 'n besonderse persoon. Ek het die naweek interessant gevind, die kaggels in die koue aand en mandjie kos was heerlik.

'n Lekker wegbreeknaweek.

'n Stukkie Frankryk in Gauteng! Vindingryke versiering van kamers en huisies, iets om te beleef. Lekker gekuier en ontspan langs die rivier en by die kaggel in La Provence. Vriendelike personeel en heerlike kos. Goblins Cove vir aandete is 'n moet.

A nice getaway weekend.

A piece of France in Gauteng! Inventive decoration of rooms and cottages, something to experience. Have fun and relax by the river and by the fireplace in La Provence. Friendly staff and delicious food. Goblins Cove for dinner is a must.

Lekker naby wegkomkansie.

Verskriklik lekker gebly en geëet. Die aandete was fantasties en die ontbytmandjie ook so. Ek het in een van die kothuise gebly. Dis meer privaat as die kamers. Die plek is naby die teerpad, maar dit het ons glad nie gepla nie. Daar kan al bietjie opknappings gedoen word maar oor die algemeen was ons baie in ons skik met die plek en sal dit definitief aanbeveel!

Nice close getaway.

Terribly nice stay and eat. The dinner was fantastic and so was the breakfast basket. I stayed in one of the cottages. It's more private than the rooms. The place is near the tarmac, but it didn't bother us at all. Some renovations could be done, but overall we were very happy with the place and would definitely recommend it!

Algemene ervaring was goed maar die verblyf self het tekortkominge.

Die kos was heerlik en die diens was baie goed. Die lekkerste deel van ons verblyf was die ontbyt langs die rivier en mooi omgewing. Die losstaande eenheid was te oud en te donker na ons smaak - alhoewel ons gewaarsku was. Die eenheid kan doen met insolasie teen die koue van buite sowel as die geraas van die nabye besige pad.

Overall experience was good but the accommodation itself has shortcomings.

The food was delicious and the service was very good. The best part of our stay was the breakfast by the river and beautiful surroundings. The detached unit was too old and too dark for our liking - although we had been warned. The unit could do with insolation against the cold outside as well as the noise from the nearby busy road.

Dankie vir julle resensie - Outydse Grasdak huisies is definitief n bietjie kouer en donkerder maar bedlampies en staanlampe word verskaf, asook verwarmers, winter lakens, vere duvets en ons noem koue winters ook vir die gaste vooraf - ons is soos in die Drakensberge - koud in die winter - maar probeer dit so knus as moontlik maak. In die somer is dit nou weer 'n heerlike koel en rustige ondervinding.
Die setting en soms besige pad is moeilik om te verander maar aan die ander kant maak die woud SPA en ontbyte by die rivier daarvoor op.
Die etes in die straatcafé met romantiese musiek en outydse 1029 CHEF PUB is ook so uniek - ons probeer werklik met kleiner details soos vars blomme, kerse - mooi romantiese tafel settings en gasvryheid en diens opmaak vir enige ander tekortkominge.

Sal nie weer daar bespreek nie.

Baie beknop. Jy kan skaars omdraai in die vertrekkies. Die beddegoed is glad nie helder nie. Die ontbyt was heerlik asook die aandete.

Opregte gasvryheid in romantiese "Frankryk"!

Selfs voor ons aankoms by La Provence is ons alreeds per foon gehelp om by die bestemming uit te kom. By ons aankoms het die eienares ons vriendelik ingewag en was ons kamer reeds in "tip top" kondisie. Alle besienswaardighede in die omgewing is ons voorgelê en die nodige foonnommers is aan ons gegee vir enige verdere hulp, navraag of reëlings. Jeremia het na al ons behoeftes omgesien soos dit 'n goeie gasheer betaam. Die eienares was elke oggend met ontbyt daar en het met elke gas gesels om te hoor of daar enige klagtes is en sommer net lekker te gesels. Die kos is puik, mense vriendelik en behulpsaam, en die plek skoon. Dis 'n fantastiese plek om te gaan ontspan en te herlaai. Neem gerus 'n geliefde na die rustige romantiese hoekie!

Genuine hospitality in romantic "France"!

Even before our arrival at La Provence, we were already helped by phone to get to the destination. Upon our arrival, the owner kindly awaited us and our room was already in "tip top" condition. All attractions in the area were presented to us and the necessary phone numbers were given to us for any further help, inquiry or arrangements. Jeremiah took care of all our needs as befits a good host. The owner was there every morning with breakfast and talked to each guest to hear if there were any complaints and just to have a good chat. The food is great, people friendly and helpful, and the place clean. It's a fantastic place to relax and recharge. Feel free to take a loved one to the quiet romantic corner!

Very interesting...

Despite the fact that I found our cottage a bit dark and not 100% clean, we still enjoyed the view at the river, the street café atmosphere and the different way they do things! The food was very good, a nice experience. Would not however stay longer than one night.

'n Pragtige opset en natuurskoon. Kan doen met meer kelners.

Werklik die moeite werk! Al aanbeveling wat ek kan maak is dat daar meer kelners is wat die gaste kan bedien. Soms kan dit nogal 'n tydjie neem om jou bestelling te ontvang. Sal dit beslis aanbeveel.

A beautiful setting and scenery. Could do with more waiters.

Really worth the effort! All I can recommend is that there are more waiters who can serve the guests. Sometimes it can take quite a while to receive your order. Would definitely recommend it.
