Comfortable and accommodating.

Our stay was wonderful and warm. The host is fantastic and helped us with everything we needed. When we needed an extra night's stay, he juggled around to help accommodate us at a busy time, which was very much appreciated. The lunch packs were also delicious! Thank you for having us.

Netjiese, skoon en veilige verblyf met vriendelike en uitstekende diens.

Dis altyd lekker om meer te kry as wat mens verwag, in alle opsigte was ons verwagtinge oortref. Netjiese skoon verblyf met als wat mens benodig. Gasvryheid vanaf Christiaan en al sy personeel was uit die boonste rakke. Die kos was uitstekend and porsies oorgenoeg om enige honger maag te stil. Ligte werk selfs tydens beurtkrag en daar word moeite gedoen om aan ander behoeftes te voldoen tydens die onderbrekings. Sal definitief aanbeveel en weer 'n draai daar maak.

Neat, clean and safe accommodation with friendly and excellent service.

It's always nice to get more than you expect, in all respects our expectations were exceeded. Neat and clean accommodation with everything you need. Hospitality from Christiaan and all his staff was top notch. The food was excellent and portions more than enough to satisfy any hungry stomach. Lights work even during load shedding and efforts are made to meet other needs during the outages. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

Warm en veilig geslaap. Baie lekker ontbyt, met tuisgebakte souttert en vele ander bykosse. Vriendelike bediening.

Aanbevelings: Beter ontvangs met aankoms; nie baie duidelike inligting nie. Instandhoudingswerk plek-plek nodig. Sleutels moet heel en beskikbaar wees. Webbladfoto's/voorstelling skep hoër verwagtinge as werklikheid.

Slept warm and safe. Very nice breakfast, with home-baked salt pie and many other side dishes. Friendly service.

Recommendations: Better reception on arrival; not very clear information. Maintenance work needed in places. Keys must be intact and available. Website photos/representation create higher expectations than reality.

Hostile atmosphere. Worm found on bed.

No owner or manager present on premises. Doors could not lock properly. No automated gate. No heating. Screws missing on door handle, no security gate at backdoor, etc.

Modern Goldfields Apartment 's response

Dear Joan,

Thank you for taking the time to review our establishment.

It is with great regret that I got to hear of this incident. "The insect that was found on the bed upon check out, could've come from any piece of clothing or luggage" according to pest control that was contacted immediately after you brought this to our attention. I can assure you that this was an isolated incident and our rooms are thoroughly cleaned and checked before and after every guest's stay.

It was also very sad that this incident escalated to the intensity that it did as we could not explain where the little insect came from. I hope that you can look past this incident, and reflect on the previous two bookings this year that you thoroughly enjoyed at Modern Goldfields Apartments when you have to make another reservation in Virginia.

I was also surprised that you opted for our Travellers rooms when you thoroughly enjoyed your previous stay in our Standard Rooms and made a pre-reservation for one of our ground floor studios.
The Traveller rooms are specifically aimed for travellers or contractors on a tight budget that prefer not to pay for extras like kettles, fridges and air-conditioning in rooms or en-suite facilities. For R288 per person per night, I provide my guests with a clean comfortable bed, hot shower, DStv and a fully equipped kitchen in a safe and clean, no-frills home.

The house reflects its age being built in the '50s but I can assure you everything is checked and fixed on a regular basis. Although it's not on the same premises and a mere stone throw from the main guest house, I can assure you that it is very safe!

I would suggest that you opt for one of our rooms on the main premises that start at R345 per person sharing per night the next time you make a booking at Modern Goldfields Apartments.

Our best wishes accompany you with your travels in the future and we hope to have you over real soon.

Best wishes,
Christiaan Faber - Owner

Ons sal enige tyd weer by Modern Goldfields oorbly. Christiaan die eienaar het ons tuis laat voel. Die garden suite waarin ons oornag het is baie netjies en modern. Christiaan se ontbyt die volgende oggend was oortreflik heerlik. Ons sal Modern Golfields apartments absoluut aanbeveel.

Baie gerieflik en netjies.

Die eenheid was baie netjies en die area lekker rustig. Christiaan het ook ons tegemoet gekom met 'n baie vroeë ontbyt 6:30, aangesien ons weer 7:00 elders moes wees in Virginia. Ons sal definitief weer daar oornag.

Dit was ongelooflik lekker!

Ongelooflike plekkie. Ongelooflike gasheer. Ongelooflike kos. Dit was een van die lekkerste plekkies om te bly. Ek ons het die naweek gate uit geniet. Christiaan was die ongelooflikste gasheer wat ons sommer van die begin af tuis laat voel het. Ons beveel hierdie plek vir almal aan. En ons beveel sy lekker kos vir almal aan.

Heerlike nag se rus voor ons die lang pad Kaap toe aandurf.

Baie goeie skoon moderne oornag verblyf. Die seuns was dadelik in die Jacuzzi en die ysmasjien wat alklaar aangeskakel was 'n lafenis vir ons glasies wyn. Christoff die gasheer se ontbyt was uit die boeke. Ek wens ek kon die dubbelbed inpak in ons waentjie so lekker geslaap op daardie matras. Dankie Christoff vir jou gasvryheid en jou plek is regtig baie mooi ingerig en jou dekor van baie goeie gehalte.

Lovely overnight stop before we hit the long road to Cape Town.

Very clean, modern overnight accommodation. The boys were in Jacuzzi soon after we arrived and the ice machine was already switched on for our glasses of wine. Christoff's breakfast was delicious. I wish I would pack the double bed in our trailer. We slept so well on that mattress. Thanks Christoff for your hospitality. Your place is really beautifully furnished and your decor is of great quality.
