Gerieflike verblyf vir een aand se oorbly.

Maartens Guest House se verblyf was gerieflik vir een aand se oorslaap. Ons het die 'ekonomiese kamer' bespreek en die ruimte daarin is beperk maar werkbaar vir een aand. Diens was baie vriendelik en ontbyt heerlik. Baie dankie.

Vriendelike eienaar.

Maarten van Maartens Guest House is 'n baie vriendelike gasheer en het ons dadelik laat welkom voel. Ons het net een nag oorgeslaap, en die budget room is al wat ons nodig gehad het. Dit was perfek - heerlike, gemaklike bed. Ontbyt die volgende oggend in die eetkamer was gesellig saam met die ander gaste, en die kos was lekker. Sal graag aanbeveel.

Die wonderlikste verblyf wat ek nog ooit ervaar het.

Ek was ongelooflik aangenaam verras deur hierdie stukkie hemel in die hartjie van Fresnaye, Kaapstad. Die mense was so vriendelik, die plek was ongelooflik mooi en ek kan absoluut nie 'n enkele voorstel eers maak nie. Uiteindelik het ek my 5-ster-plekkie gevind. Baie dankie aan almal by Maartens Gastehuis.

Clean rooms, friendly staff.

I had the wonderful top floor room with a view of the sea which was great. The rooms are clean. However, there is no protection against mosquitoes, no gauze in front of windows, no mosquito nets, although a gauze door or window would have been sufficient. Hence I had to sleep with a closed door and windows at the sea. Awful! The owner, Maarten, is friendly but unfortunately he chose to party with his friends until late into the night on the last night I stayed there, having to get up early to catch a plane. The house rules said absolute quiet as from 22H00. They were still going strong at midnight!

Die enigste tekortkoming was dat daar nie DStv is nie. Ek was in kamer 6 en ongelukkig beskik die kamer oor geen balkon of uitsig nie. Verder was die ontbyt daagliks heerlik en voldoede. Die eienaar en personeel is baie hulpvaardig en vriendelik.
