Baie dankie vir jou terugvoer. Ek is bly julle het ons ontbyt geniet. Dit is vir ons belangrik dat veral mense wat langer bly, verskillende ontbytopsies het en nie elke dag dieselfde hoef te eet nie. Ons spyskaart bied ook verskillende proteïen opsies, sowel as genoeg keuse vir vegetariërs, vegan, gluten free, lactose intoleransie, ens. Ons vra net dat gaste ons vooraf laat weet van enige kos beperkings sodat ons daarvoor kan voorberei.

Mandy was a gem and the face of the guesthouse. Her helpfulness was a belt under the heart and immediately made us feel welcome. The room has a beautiful view and met all our needs. We will definitely book again when we visit the Cape.

Baie dankie vir jou terugvoer, Willem. Dit is goed om te hoor dat julle die verblyf geniet het en dat Mandy en ons span goed na julle gekyk het. Oor sekuriteit wil ek net noem dat Simonstad gelukkig 'n baie veilige dorpie is, maar ons het in die laaste jaar nou maar CCTV kameras opgesit en ons het 'n baie aktiewe buurtwag. Die huis het ook diefwering (clear bars) by alle vensters. Ons het nog nooit enige sekuriteitsinsidente gehad nie, maar ons hou ons oog daarop. Vir nou is die groot doelwit om sonpanele op te sit. Ons inverters hou ons WiFi aan die gang gedurende Loadshedding en ons kamers het "rechargeable" ligte, maar ons hoop om teen die einde van die jaar selfonderhoudend in terme van energie te wees.

Terrible, unhygienic, uncaring theft.
Read moreMariner Guesthouse 's response
Hi Carmen, I am very sorry about your poor experience and that I wasn't in town at the time to speak to you personally. We have been in operation for 15 years and we have never experienced an incident of theft. I did, however, scrutinise our camera footage and interviewed the staff, but found nothing incriminating any staff member. We provide electronic safes in all our rooms for guests to secure their valuables, as we cannot take responsibility for items that go missing, of which we do not have proof of them being there in the first place. Are you sure the money wasn't misplaced at your wedding reception? These things happen and I'm really sorry it happened to you. You seemed very content when I spoke to you on your first morning, prior to leaving for a few days. We run an eco-friendly establishment and change linen and towels every 3 days, unless guests leave their towels in the bath or showers, exactly like it is done in many guest houses and hotels globally. The fact that towels aren't changed daily does not indicate uncleanliness. For others reading this review, I urge you to also consider the other reviews from the majority of our guests who had a delightful stay and a positive experience.

Dankie Mitch, dis goed om te hoor. Alhoewel ons gaste die 8-slaapkamer huis deel, help die 4 verdiepings, groot kamers en afskortings op die balkonne dat elkeen sy eie eenheid kan geniet sonder om gesteur te word. Die gemeenskaplike sit en eetkamer is natuurlik vir almal se gebruik, maar mense is oor die algemeen bedagsaam en respekteer mekaar se privaatheid.

Impersonal, disappointing and not worth the money per night.
I booked the "Honeymoon/Superior" suite as a surprise and treat for my wife's birthday. The room is not prepared at all as per the photo. The pillows on the bed were very uncomfortable with no candles available in the bathroom as indicated in the photos. The shower/hand wash and bath soap were all the same liquid that looked like cheap dish soap. I could not find any signal for the DSTV channels and the remote control for the TV was also not explained on arrival. However, the highlight of this visit was the breakfast which was well served and prepared.

Mariner Guesthouse 's response
Ek is bly julle het ons ontbyt geniet. Ons personeel is almal goed opgelei en ons lewer ons vriendelike diens met plesier aan ons gaste. Ons probeer altyd professioneel wees en gee ons gaste genoeg privaatheid sodat hulle kan ontspan. Ek is so jammer dat jy dit as onpersoonlike vertolk het en voel dat julle verblyf nie spesiaal genoeg was nie. Ons sit gewoonlik blomblare op die bed en kersies in die kamer en badkamer vir wittebrood en huweliksherdenkings (as ons daarvan in kennis gestel is), maar nou nie vir alle besprekings as daar nie spesifiek so met ons gereel word nie. Ons sou dit met graagte gedoen het as jy gevra het. Die kamer se dekor is baie luuks met die hemelbed, kristal kandelare, persiese tapyte en antieke meubels. Die uitsig is natuurlik ook uitsonderlik.
Ek besef die kussings op die bed is bietjie pof, maar daar is ekstra laer kussings in die kas se laai vir die wat ander kussings verkies. Die kamer het DSTV, maar jy het die TV dalk uitgestel toe jy nie die afstandbeheer verstaan het nie. Meeste mense weet hoe om dit te gebruik, so dit is nie iets wat ons oor die algemeen met aankoms verduidelik nie, maar ek sal dit by ons "check-in" prosedure voeg om seker te maak dat mense weet hoe dit werk. Stap-vir-stap aanwysings is ook wel in die inligtingsleer in elke kamer beskikbaar. Daar is te alle tye 'n personeellid aan diens om te help as gaste enige hulp nodig het. Vra maar net - ons help met graagte. Die komplimentere sepies kom van 'n organiese Rooibos skoonheidsprodukte verskaffer en is alles oranjekleurig, maar dit is nie dieselfde in elke bottel nie. Ons gooi shampoo in die shampoo bottel, handewasmiddel in daai bottel, ens. Baie gaste lewer nogal kommentaar oor hoe lekker dit ruik en sag die produk op hul velle en hare voel. Jy is natuurlik welkom om jou eie te bring as jy spesifiek is oor jou velsorg.
Ai, as ek dan so teruglees sien ek dat baie van julle ongenoegdheid met beter kommunikasie uitgeskakel kon word. Ek wil vra dat toekomstige gaste asseblief met ons praat as hulle einige probleme of spesifieke verwagtinge het. Die fotos op ons webblad en is ware fotos van die kamers, maar ons verander af en toe aan die dekor. Ons maak wel seker dat ons kamers almal mooi skoon en keurig versier is met 'n vriendelike verwelkoming.

Upon our arrival, Mandy greeted us and immediately made us feel very much at home. With her soft voice she let us explore the guest house. The manager was also very helpful and friendly. Our breakfast was top class and we enjoyed it on the balcony. The guest house is very nicely furnished. We will definitely stay with them again! 10 out of 10!

Dankie vir die terugvoer. Ek is bly julle het die uitsig geniet en ons ligging het vir julle gewerk. Met ons stylvolle, goed toegeruste groot tuinwoonstel en pragtige see-uitsig, sowel as die ander 4-ster ekstras wat gratis Wi-Fi, DSTtv, privaat braai area en tuin insluit voel ons dat dit waarde vir geld is om by Mariner Guesthouse te bly. Simonstad self bied baie min verblyf opsies vir families, so ons is een van die min gastehuise wat kinders verwelkom. Dit is vir ons belangrik dat ons gaste gelukkig is met alle aspekte van hul verblyf. Dankie en groete, Liesel.

Breathtaking view and genuine hospitality.
The choice of breakfast was very cute and breakfast of a high standard. We were particularly impressed with the delicious cozy fire and hot soup in the evening with a friendly face peeking out from the kitchen. Soft music in the background and a glass of sherry in hand in the cozy romantic atmosphere is recommended. The rest of our 20th wedding anniversary will linger in our minds for a long time and next time with the Argus we will walk through Simonstad with a different look and warm heart.

Gelukkige personeel en goeie opleiding is vir ons baie belangrik, so ek is bly om te hoor dat dit ook so deurgekom het in die kwaliteit van julle ontbyt. Die ruim spasies en uitsig was ook 'n voorvereiste toe ons die gastehuis in 2009 gebou het. Elke kamer het 'n see-uitsig en ons is loopafstand van strande en restaurante, maar kan ook vervoer reel indien nodig. Ons hoop om julle gou weer by Mariner Gastehuis te verwelkom.

Hier is maar min gastehuise in ons area wat kinder-vriendelik is, so ons probeer dit veral vir gesinne moontlik maak om by ons te bly met ons meer bekostigbare Familie Eenheid en nou ook ons "Garden Apartment" wat ten volle toegerus is vir selfsorg, alhoewel dit daagliks gediens word. Gaste is steeds welkom om in te kom vir ontbyt teen 'n addisionele tarrief, maar het verder gebruik van al ons ander fassiliteite wat ons gratis Wi-Fi, biblioteek en wasgoed diens insluit. Ons sien uit daarna om julle volgende keer by Mariner Guesthouse terug te verwelkom.

On Saturday and Sunday morning we were treated to the most delicious breakfast, prepared with great effort and served with just as much care. Daleen is a true hostess and went above and beyond to keep everyone at ease and satisfied. In fact, we didn't even know about the other guests except in the dining room.

Ek is bly om te hoor ons personeel was vriendelik en behulpsaam. Simonstad het oor die algemeen matige temperature, maar dit was besonders warm hierdie Januarie. Ons boonste verdieping see 3 kamers het wel lugversorgers omdat hulle bietjie warmer raak as die kamers op die ander 2 verdiepings. Ons beplan wel om teen volgende somer lugverkoeling in die Luxury Kamer op die middelste vloer ook by te sit en mettertyd in all die kamers. Hierdie kamers het darem almal balkonne en dak-waaiers, en intussen is daar ook altyd 'n koel seebries wat mens afkoel.

Dankie! Die ligging teen die berg bo die dorp wat die pragtige uitsig oor Falsbaai verseker, maar steeds naby restaurante/strande is, was bepalende faktore toe ons die gastehuis in 2009 gebou het. Dit was ook nog altyd vir ons belangrik om waarde vir geld te bied. Ons bied dus verskillende tipes kamers teen verskillende tariewe om meer mense see behoeftes te akkommodeer: almal groot, gerieflik end stylvol!

Mariner Guesthouse 's response
Hi Monica, ek is bly dat julle ons ontbyt, diens en uitsig positief ervaar het. Ek wil wel ander gaste gerus stel oor die parkering/sekuriteit en die linne.
Ons het 'n motorhuis waarvan ons die helfte in 'n linnekamer omskep het juis omdat niemand ooit gevoel het dat dit nodig was om in die motorhuis te parkeer nie. Daar is wel nog plek vir 1 voertuig (beskikbaar op aanvraag) vir ingeval iemand ongemaklik voel met ons buite parkering. Ek besef julle is van Johannesburg en natuurlik is sekuriteitsbehoeftes baie anders daar. In Simonstad is ons gelukkig dat daar bykans nooit iets slegs hier gebeur nie. Jy sou opgelet het dat almal in ons straat en in teendeel, alle ander gastehuise in Simonstad, van buite parkering gebruik maak. Die huise met Trellidor of erge sekuriteit is gewoonlik eienaars van elders wat vakansiehuise hier het. Ons het wel 'n buurtwag wat patrolleer en beweging geaktiveerde sekuriteitsligte by ons parkering. Ons het in die 7 jaar dat die gastehuis bestaan nog nooit 1 geval van inbraak of enige vorm van misdaad ervaar nie.
In terme van die kolle op die linne - Ons sou dit baie waardeer het as julle dit vir ons bestuur uitgewys het. Ek kan daarom ongelukkig nie met sekerheid se wat dit was nie, maar ek vermoed sterk dat dit dalk sonskerm room merke was. Die professionele wassery wat ons linne doen het hierdie seisoen vreeslik gesukkel om hierdie room uit die linne te kry. Dit verkleur wanneer mens dit behandel en wil net nie uit nie. Ons linne word jaarliks geïnspekteer met ons gradering en ons spandeer letterlik duisende aan nuwe linne as gevolg van linne wat afgeskryf moet word. Hierdie linne moes egter nooit op 'n bed gesit gewees het nie, al was dit tegnies skoon. Ek is baie jammer hieroor. Netheid en higiëne is vir ons uiters belangrik en ek het hierdie kwessie reeds aangespreek.

She specially arranged a bed for our little girl and also got me gluten-free bread for breakfast at short notice. We had a great time and would love to stay in the Mariner Guesthouse again.

Mariner Guesthouse 's response
Beste Wilmari,
Baie dankie vir die terugvoer. Ek is jammer om te hoor julle het gevoel dat julle nie waarde vir geld in ons wittebrood kamer gekry het nie. Ons is altyd baie opgewonde om wittebrood gaste te verwelkom, juis omdat dit so spesiaal is! Hierdie groot kamer, met sy hemelbed en antieke meubels, kristal kandelare, groot badkamer en balkon met pragtige see-uitsig, is beslis die mees romantiese kamer wat in Simonstad vir wittebrood gaste beskikbaar is. Hierdie gerief kom wel teen 'n premium, soos met wittebrood kamers by alle gastehuise. Ons het ongelukkig nie geweet dat dit julle wittebrood was nie! As ons weet van 'n spesiale geleentheid of herdenking, maak ons altyd die kamer ekstra mooi met roosblare, kerse en 'n komplimentêre bottel sjampanje. Hierdie kamer het ook sy eie Espresso/Cappuccino masjien, groot platskerm TV met DStv, lugverkoeler, mikrogolf, yskassie met verversings en gratis Wi-Fi. Addisionele opsies soos vingerhappies of selfs 'n romantiese, privaat aandete in die kamer, 'n bos blomme ter bestelling, of wat ookal gaste verlang, is beskikbaar en ons reël dit graag.
Vir ander voornemende gaste vra ons dat ons asseblief in kennis gestel word van spesiale geleenthede om ons die geleentheid te gee om wel die ervaring so spesiaal moontlik te maak en waarde vir geld te bied.

A quiet, stylish guest house within walking distance of the village and sea.
We stayed in room 1 which is advertised as the honeymoon suite. It was a lovely large room with four poster bed, antique furniture, own kitchenette and sitting area, and lovely spacious bathroom. The view from our balcony was beautiful. The daily breakfast was delicious from the fresh and/or stewed fruit to the specially prepared hot breakfast. The room was absolutely flawlessly cleaned and tidy every day upon our return. The calm music playing in the background throughout the sitting/dining/reception area was a bonus and definitely suited the elegant setting. Daleen was a friendly and helpful driver who repeatedly steered us in the right direction for another great day - be it the penguins, submarine tour, Cape Point or just for shopping trips. We were introduced first hand to the sound of a raging South East wind, but after the initial ferocious introduction we accepted it as part of the adventure. Mariner has style steps from the parking area to the guest house, and also between floors. It might be wise to take that into account. Mariner was a wonderful experience for us.
