Very disappointed with the service we received.

Owner is incapable of taking control of noisy guests and avoids the subject altogether, thereby upsetting other paying guests. Not impressed and will not recommend to anyone. Will avoid this place at all costs! WiFi advertised but was non-existent.

Decent for short stays.

An alright place to spend the night, on the main road through Winterton and within walking distance to the nearby store and petrol station. The accommodation itself is in desperate need of some maintenance, and the cottage in which we stayed smelled of stale air, as if it hadn't been opened for months before our arrival. I wouldn't recommend drinking the water in the area as it was brown, so buying water to drink is your best option. It's also worth noting that the town itself is at least 20km from the Drakensberg attractions, so you'll have to drive out to them daily.

Sal nie my eerste keuse wees nie.

Alhoewel ek baie vriendelik ontvang is, is die kamer wat aan my toegeken is, nie op standaard nie. Die lakens is verouderd en dun. Die muurbehangsels is vol stof. Die touwtjies van die dakwaaier is so hoog dat ek dit nie kon bereik nie en moes 'n bed skuif om daarop te staan om by te kom. Dit sal gaaf wees as daar 'n stoel in die kamer is om op te sit i.p.v. net op die bed.

Translate to English.

Would not be my first choice.

Although I received a very friendly welcome, the room allocated to me is not up to standard. The sheets are outdated and thin. The wall hangings are full of dust. The strings of the ceiling fan are so high that I couldn't reach them and had to move a bed to stand on them to reach them. It would be nice if there was a chair in the room to sit on instead of just on the bed

Heerlike lapa en speelarea.

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang en ingeboek. Die tuin, swembad en speelarea vertoon mooi en rustig. Die eenheid binne was egter misleidend. Ons het eenheid 2 bespreek. Die fotos en die werklike weergawe verskil. Die slaapkamer en badkamer is baie oud. Glad nie so mooi soos op die foto nie.

Lovely lapa and play area.

We were very kindly received and checked in. The garden, swimming pool and play area appear beautiful and peaceful. However, the unit inside was deceiving. We booked unit 2. The photos and the actual version differ. The bedroom and bathroom are very old. Not at all as beautiful as in the photo.

Very disappointing.

On arrival, the owner told me that the accommodation had been cancelled and that I was very fortunate to have a place to stay, as she had made a plan for us. The basin in the bathroom has a very bad design, and when the tap was opened, the water trickled down onto the floor tiles and into the bedroom, causing one to slip. The fridge was not clean and had mould inside. Skirting boards in the bedroom were very dusty with spider webs. Bedside mats were dirty and slippery, with no backing. Tiles on the shower floor needed a scrub. The toilet seat is shocking, stained, and should be replaced. The big gates' lock coming into the premises was broken. The lock of the security gate of the cottage was faulty, and I had to juggle the key to open it.

Heerlike speelarea, eenheid en toebehore binne vuil, nie 3-ster.

Susan was baie vriendelik met ons aankoms, geen probleme met inboek. Die tuin, speelare en swembad was mooi, veilig en kinders het dit baie geniet. Die eenheid binne was 'n ander storie: een lig asook muurprop se bedrading was foutief, eetgerei en oondjie het nog stukke kos en olie van vorige gaste gehad, vatdoeke/bankkussings/komberse en beddegoed was stowwerig met vlekke op. Kraanwater is nie drinkbaar nie blykbaar, maar moes dit by die hulp hoor, so vat maar eie water. Nie baie beïndruk vir die prys en 3-sterre nie.

Susan was very friendly upon our arrival, no problems with check-in. The garden, playgrounds and swimming pool were beautiful, safe and children really enjoyed it. The unit inside was a different story: one light as well as the wall plug's wiring was faulty, cutlery and oven still had pieces of food and oil from previous guests, tea towels/couch cushions/blankets and bedding were dusty with stains on them. Tap water is apparently not drinkable, but had to hear it from the help, so take your own water. Not very impressed for the price and 3 stars.

Hi Wihan
Baie dankie vir die terug voer dit is so n jammerte dat julle nie my kom sien het nie ons is altyd op die perseel en sou graag dadelik die probleem probeer oplos het , ons het net voor die vakansie al die komberse gewas en beddegoed word gewas sodra klieente uit is ek moet se ons sukkel met die water in Winterton en ek dink orals in ons land is dit n probleem dat jy nie die water kan drink nie waar ons ook bly by gaste huise koop ons, ons eie water.
Ons sukkel in Winterton met Munisipaliteit vir skoon water en met die gevolg is ons sukkel ook met ons linne moet dit partykeer 2x was om bruin vlekke uit te kry .

Baie jammer oor die stofie was nie bewus dat dit nie skoon was nie die hulp is veronderstel om dit skoon te maak

Too noisy

The N3 was closed at Harrismith and all southbound traffic was diverted via Bergville and Winterton to rejoin the N3 at Estcourt. My room was no more than 30 meters from the road and massive truck traffic throughout the night made sleep impossible.

Het soos my eie huis gevoel.

Na ons my dogter se trek gedoen het was dit 'n heerlike, veilige en rustige aand wat ons net kon ontspan. Alles was netjies en skoon en waarde vir geld. Ek sal dit regtig tussen my vriende en familie aanbeveel.

Het goed uitgerus want daar was geen steurnis wat gepla het nie.

Ek is baie vriendelik ontvang en het my sommer dadelik tuis laat voel. Die matras het fantasties geslaap en dit is die rede waarom ek so goed gevoel het die volgende oggend.

Skoon en netjies. Die eienaar was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Die plekkie was skoon, netjies en baie groter as wat ek verwag het. Die eienaar was verskriklik vriendelik en het vir ons 'n kaart gegee van die area en op die kaart al die lekker eetplekke en besienswaardighede aangedui, wat veroorsaak het dat ons glad nie sukkel om ons plek te vind nie. Algeheel was dit 'n baie lekker oorbly en ek sal dit beslis aanbeveel.

Lekker ruim met 'n plattelandse atmosfeer.

Thule se vriendelike ontvangs en hulpvaardigheid het ons dadelik welkom laat voel. Die geriewe is pragtig uitgelê, maar van die vertrekke het 'n bietjie opknapping nodig. Die swembad en lapa is 'n besliste pluspunt, asook die sentrale ligging van die akkommodasie.

Wonderful stay, but the beds need to be replaced, as incredibly hard and dipped in the middle. The stove plates took an age to heat up to a mild simmer.

Wonderfully old main house with lots of character. Our cottage was clean and neat. Suzanna was a wonderful hostess. Our double bed definitely needed replacing as it was most uncomfortable. The stove plates also took forever to heat to a mild simmer. But had a great weekend.

The unit did not live up to expectations.

Lekkerslaap presented the unit as wheelchair friendly. However, it is important that wheelchair-friendliness is not only about access to the unit through a "crash", but also about access to facilities. The following aspects were a major problem: - The shower is not accessible to a person who cannot walk, and - The toilet is not accessible to a person who cannot walk. If necessary, photos can be provided. So it was not a pleasant experience.

The lodge is very nice.

I had a good night's sleep at the lodge, had the pleasure of the electric blanket. The lodge is convenient in that it is on the main road, one does not have to go out of town to get to the lodge. I would like to thank the manager who waited for me to arrive as I arrived past 22:00. Thank you for the comfort afforded to me at this lodge.

'n Voldoende ingerigte instansie wat voorsien aan die reisiger se behoeftes.

Die geriewe wat gebied word is netjies en voldoende (alhoewel komplimentêre koffie in die eenhede dalk 'n goeie idee sal wees). Pragtige tuine wat 'n moeë reisiger gou laat ontspan. Oulike speelplek vir kinders en vir die fiksheid-bewustes is daar oefen geriewe beskikbaar (goeie idee!). Baie dankie.

Not convenient

They couldn't tune our TV so we could watch. The second remote was gone. They knew it and told us themselves. We reported a water leak in the bathroom while they were busy with the TV. Just left it like that. We had to place a towel on the floor to absorb the water. It was so wet the next morning that the water began to spread over the floor. It was advertised as self-catering but no plates, knives and forks. How do you eat without cutlery? Are we expected to bring everything together? There was only a microwave oven and cups etc for coffee and tea. Breakfast could not be served earlier than 8h00 and since we had to drive far the next day we had to drive without breakfast. The fan was noisy. The chalet was very small for two adults plus our dog and our luggage. We arranged in advance for our dog to stay with us

Ek is afgradeer na kleiner (minder gerieflike) kamer, was effe teleurstellend, het darem verwag dat die gastehuis my ten minste met die prys tegemoet sou kom (of dalk net 'n ontbyt of iets as blykie van verstaan) maar niks. Swyg soos die graf!

My ouers het hier oornag op 23 en 28 Oktober en hulle het dit baie geniet. Spesiaal genoem hoe vriendelik Susan was! Op die 28ste het hulle ongelukkig 'n klein insident gehad toe die grassnyer 'n klippie opgeskiet en die ruit aan passasierskant van hulle motor getref het. Dit kon egter enige plek gebeur het en Susan het hulle vergoed vir die skade. Nogmaals dankie vir alles, ons sal verseker terug wees!

Unfriendly and disappointing.

We booked a free standing, 2 bedroom, self-catering cottage and were initially given a single room with a 4-poster bed. We were told that the owner of the guest house was away and that that was what was allocated to us and that there was nothing else available. It was only after speaking to an agent that the owner was prepared to give us another small room with 2 single beds - no self-catering. A very unsatisfactory experience.

Lilac Lodge / Purple House 's response

Good day Leigh,
Thank you for your feedback, however, my husband gave you a cottage that was a self-catering unit and you said no you do not want the cottage he offered you. 2 cottages next to each other with 2 single beds, bathroom, TV and small fridge in both rooms and you said no you only want the one room and that you were happy with the one cottage. I still do not understand why you did not want the self-catering unit.
I do apologize for the inconvenience .
Kind Regards
Susan

Voorwaar aangenaam. Baie netjies en modern met 'n wonderlike atmosfeer.

Vandat ons gearriveer het tot ons huistoe is, was ons net met gasvryheid en liefde behandel. Alles was net perfek.

Uitstekende verblyf en waarde vir geld.

Ons het lekker gebly en was beïndruk met gasvryheid sowel as akkommodasie met 'n kaggel. Sal beslis die akkommodasie aanbeveel en indien moontlik weer daar gaan bly.

Wonderlike gasvryheid van eienaar en het dadelik tuis gevoel.

Ons was op pad Dragon Peaks Mountain Resort toe en het 'n dag vroeër vertrek as beplan en het gesoek na 'n gastehuis op pad soontoe. Ek het toe The Purple House nageslaan en dit baie oulik gevind. Ek het 3 dae vooraf bespreek en het akkommodasie gevind. Baie dankie aan LekkeSlaap vir die spoedige terugvoer en kan die webblad vir enigiemand voorstel. Julle diens is puik!

Wonderful hospitality from owner and immediately felt at home.

We were on our way to Dragon Peaks Mountain Resort and left a day earlier than planned and looked for a guest house on the way there. I then looked up The Purple House and found it very cute. I booked 3 days in advance and found accommodation. Many thanks to LekkeSlaap for the prompt feedback and can recommend the website to anyone. Your service is great!

Heerlike verblyf in Lilac Lodge.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier en die eenheid was baie netjies, smaakvol toegerus en silwerskoon. Dit is redelik privaat en bied genoeg spasie tussen ander eenhede.

We had a great time and the unit was very neat, tastefully furnished and spotlessly clean. It is quite private and offers enough space between other units.

Pragtige en romantiese kamer. Diens was uitstekend en die vriendelikheid van die eienaar.

By aankoms was die eienaar baie hulpvaardig en vriendelik. Sy het selfs uitgevra na ons planne vir die naweek, en het plekke aanbeveel waarheen ons kon gaan. Ons het ook 'n kaart ontvang van die omliggende gebied wat baie gehelp het. Wat die verblyf self aanbetref, ons was baie beïndruk met die kamer wat ons gekry het. Ideaal vir ons rede vir die naweek weg. Die kamer het by aankoms 'n fantastiese reuk gehad wat regtig indrukwekkend was. Ek sal Lilac Lodge & Lekkeslaap aanbeveel vir almal wat ek ken, en het eintlik al klaar!

Beautiful and romantic room. Service was excellent and the friendliness of the owner.

On arrival the owner was very helpful and friendly. She even asked about our plans for the weekend, and recommended places we could go. We were also given a map of the surrounding area which was very helpful. As for the accommodation itself, we were very impressed with the room we got. Perfect for our reason for the weekend away. The room had a fantastic smell on arrival which was really impressive. I would recommend Lilac Lodge & Lekeslaap to everyone I know, and actually already have!
