Load shedding het dinge baie ongemaklik gemaak omdat die huisies in die bos is. Pik, pikdonker in die nag as jy wil opstaan om toilet toe gaan. Kan niks voor jou sien nie.

Load shedding made things very uncomfortable because the cottages are in the woods. Pitch, pitch black at night when you want to get up to go to the toilet. Can't see anything in front of you.

There are load-shedding bulbs in the bedside lights in each room, in the lounge and on the deck, which stay on during load shedding, so provision has been made for it.

Hospitality was too bad from Daisy.

Outside is dirty, we were sharing the house with spiders.

Mountain Dew Cottage 's response

Dear Mxolisi

When you book a place you must go through the details on the booking site to see what you are booking.

You were surprised our cottage is a park home and not a brick building and that we don't have a full DStv package both of which are detailed in our advertisement and there are photographs.

You did not want to follow simple instructions in voice and on text as well as a map that I sent you on booking in and I tried to explain as well but you kept cutting me off on the phone and not giving me a chance to speak.

So your booking started off on the wrong foot in the beginning.

My brother booked you in as I explained I was out of town.
My son went to see you when you asked about the TV channels but you went out into town and he could not wait as he was going to start work that afternoon.

I liaised with you all the way and you had my telephone details but you blocked me on Whatsapp.

The grounds were cleaned before the easter weekend and there was a storm and a lot of strong winds which brought down leaves and branches. My staff I gave off for the Easter weekend as they deserve a break too.

There are spiders all over town and in any place no matter where in town and we provide doom to spray them.

You left my cottage standing unlocked and did not contact me to say you booked out. You just left it unlocked with dishes and food all over the place.

Your comments are uncalled for and very rude and your actions and manner in which you spoke to me were rude as well.

Heerlik.

'n Heerlike oornagplekkie! Vriendelike gasvrou, alles was supernetjies en prakties ingerig. Niks wat kon breek nie (ideaal vir 'n gesin met klein kindertjies). Ek kon tot my nat wasgoed ophang. Ons sal beslis weer daar oornag.

Delicious.

A wonderful place to spend the night! Friendly hostess, everything was super neat and practically furnished. Nothing that could break (ideal for a family with small children). I could hang up my wet laundry. We will definitely stay there again.

Ontspannend.

Rustig tussen bome. Dit was weg van die dorp, maar nog naby genoeg. Aanwysings kan verbeter. Ons het gesukkel om karavaan te kry.

Relaxing.

Quiet among trees. It was away from town, but still close enough. Directions could improve. We had trouble finding a caravan.

The quaint cottage is decorated with love and very clean.

The cottage is clean and well looked after. The hostess helped us out by putting out lights and a gas bottle when the power went out. There were plenty of blankets for the cold weather and the kitchen is well equipped. A cost effective and pleasant stay for touring groups or families with teens.

Friendly, well-equipped place.

Nice stay over. It is budget, but you get a lot of bang for your buck. It is way better equipped than places twice the price where we have stayed. We will definitely stay at Mountain Dew Cottage again.

Very neat and clean wood cottage. Perfect for a single person.

I stayed in Loerie house. It is a small wood cottage and good value for money. The hosts are very friendly and the cottage is well equipped and sparkling clean. I will definitely stay there if I return to Grahamstown.

Dilapidated.

Water was off and we couldn't take a shower, but the whole town's water was off. Need to find a fix for this.

Very welcoming and very nice place to stay for a weekend.

We had a little trouble finding the place, but the lady that runs the place was very nice and met us by the university. She was very welcoming and the place was well kept and clean.

Dear Kabeer,
Thank you so much for your lovely review. It is truly appreciated.
