Fantasties!

Dit was 'n heerlike drie dae! Die beddegoed was heerlik en my seuns was mal oor die rugbypale en die lekker groot swembad. Belinda was altyd beskikbaar en baie behulpsaam. Baie dankie, Belinda!

Fantastic!

It was a wonderful three days! The bedding was lovely and my boys loved the rugby posts and the nice big swimming pool. Belinda was always available and very helpful. Thank you very much, Belinda!

For the amount that you pay you would think that you would get top service.

Yes, it's self-catering, we as a family travel a lot as we have horses and attend shows so we have been around and everywhere we go it's self-catering, but we receive the basics like refreshments as well toilet paper etc. I had to ask for this. At other places, we receive all of above. Flat sheets were removed and not replaced until I had to tell the owner how unhappy I was, as if we don't use the flat sheets. I feel we have been judged.

Heerlike plaaswegbreek, baie gerieflike verblyf en vriendelike diens!

Ons was baie dankbaar om op kort kennis te bespreek, en so aangenaam verras met die mooi ruim tuin en verblyf. Akkommodasie is goed ingerig met 'n lekker groot braai, ons gaan beslis weer terug!

Gerieflik en ruim.

Daar was irriterende voëls wat bo-op die plafon van die woonvertrek nesgemaak het wat letterlik die hele tyd geraas het, selfs nadat dit al goed donker was en ons wou gaan slaap het. Daar is ook nie 'n deur tussen die woonvertrek en slaapkamer nie so ons kon nie die geraas van die voëls demp nie. Die pad se geraas weens die nabygeleë N2 was hanteerbaar en na laaste lig grootliks afgeneem.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Comfortable and spacious.

There were annoying birds nesting on top of the living room ceiling, which literally made noise all the time, even after it was already dark and we wanted to go to sleep. There is also no door between the living room and bedroom so we could not dampen the noise of the birds. The road's noise due to the N2 closeby was manageable and greatly decreased after the last light.

Reeds lank voor ons aankoms het ons gasvrou kontak gemaak. Ons is vriendelik, gasvry ontvang. Netjiese skoon plekkie. Vrolike geselserige plattelandse ontvangs. Baie baie dankie daarvoor! Laat mens net nog soveel meer tuis voel!

Direk langs die hoofpad met baie verkeer en sy steurende geraas.

Ons was in die donker 'self-catering' rondawel sonder 'n opwasplek of vadoeke en net een stoel. Heerlike groot dubbelbed, goeie koffie, tee en melk en 'n bottel water in die yskassie. Kraanwater is bruin. Plekkei erg donker en beknop met badkamerdeur wat net halfpad toemaak. Vinnige verkeer maak inbreuk op jou rus.

Right next to the main road with a lot of traffic and its disturbing noise.

We were in the dark 'self-catering' rondavel without a washing place or dish towels and only one chair. Lovely large double bed, good coffee, tea and milk and a bottle of water in the small fridge. Tap water is brown. Very dark and cramped place with bathroom door that only closes half way. Fast traffic intrudes on your rest.

Lekker rustig stil en ons was baie mooi ontvang.

Dit is 'n lekker rustige plekkie om te bespreek, maar net die tv kanale kan verbeter, so ook WiFi wat geadverteer word, maar nie beskikbaar was nie. Maar verder is daar geen probleme, plekkie was aangenaam mooi en alles was op plek.

Asemrowend - dis nou borrelende vriendelike plaas.

Pragtige plaasarea met 'n borrelende spontane vriendelike gasvrou en man. Huis mooi ingerig en dankie vir vinnige planne om vir Ouma en Oupa 'n dubbelbed te gee - stapelbed sou nie lekker gewerk het en boonop in dieselfde kamer nie. Dit was tops. Sal weer kom draai.

Fantastiese verblyf, rustigheid vir die siel en baie goeie waarde vir geld.

Ons het 'n fantastiese verblyf gehad op Melkboom Gasteplaas. Om so oor die lande uit te kyk en die skapies hier naby op die lande te sien, het sommer my siel rustig gemaak. Alles was so netjies en almal was net te bereid om te help waar nodig. Die kothuis is lekker ruim en is ingerig met alles wat jy moontlik kan nodig kry gedurende jou verblyf. Al was dit so na aan die N2, was die voertuie op die hoofweg glad nie 'n probleem nie. Ek kan nie wag om sommer gou weer te kom kuier nie!

Fantastic accommodation, tranquility for the soul and very good value for money.

We had a fantastic stay at Melkboom Guest Farm. To look out over the fields like this and to see the little sheds near here on the fields just put my soul at ease. Everything was so neat and everyone was only too willing to help where needed. The cottage is nice and spacious and is furnished with everything you could possibly need during your stay. Even though it was so close to the N2, the vehicles on the main road were not a problem at all. I can't wait to visit again soon!

Dis 'n lieflike, netjiese en skoon plekkie. Die ontvangs was baie, baie gasvry. Dis heerlik so in die natuur op die plaas, en as jy wakker word hoor jy die plaasgeluide. Baie gasvry mense.

We needed a pet friendly, overnight stop, en route to Cape Town, and booked the rondawel at Melkboom.

We were very well received by Belinda on our arrival, and found the unit to be very neat and clean, and it met out needs. A little 'bar' fridge would be a welcome addition. We arrived late, and left early, and I wish that we had at least had time to take a walk, and enjoy the fresh air and surrounds, on the farm.
