Disappointing.
Oakdale Cottages 's response
Dear Dave,
I am sorry about the cleanliness issue. However, this was peak season and I normally don't do single night bookings over this period, but I still accommodated you. I had only two hours to clean your house since you requested an early check-in. I am quite sure you can understand this. Moreover, I am certain your bathroom and bedding were perfectly clean.
Further, I was on my phone the whole time with you. You knew this was a self-check-in booking, so I don't understand the low rating for customer service.
It's routine when you book on a farm, to expect chickens and other animals which might sometimes be a nuisance. Please read all the information about farm stays and you will see that there are a lot of animals. I do not have control over a cockerel, believe me...
The cleaning fee is actually an admin fee for one-night bookings and it doesn't relate to cleaning. This is a standard fee across SA and LekkeSlaap.
It was a pleasure assisting you at short notice since accommodation was a big problem during this time of year. Blessings.

Average.
For one night it's fine, but not for more than one. We were in Unit 2 and the bed is too small and terribly uncomfortable if you are not tired. The mattress needs to be replaced. My wife got a rash after the first night and I the next day. We were able to stay 3 out of 6 nights and then packed up.

Slept well but still disappointed.
Does not comply with advertisement. Booked specifically for bathroom with bath (house 2) and there was only a shower. Lighting is also not sufficient. Why not increase the fee and scrap the cleaning fee. Will give more realistic idea of price. Would also be nice if the situation with the water is posted on ad and not after booking.

Beste Njs
Daar is slegs een huis waar 'n bad in die badkamer het en dit is baie duidelik op my webwerf gemerk as Cottage 6.
Wat die water aan betref is dit slegs in droeë tye en is dit n standaard skrywe wat ek uitstuur. Sover my kennis strek was daar absoluut geen fout met enige water terwyl julle oorgebly het nie. Ons water in ons krane is bergwater en baie skoner en gesonder as enige dorpswater.
Elke kamer het bedliggies en hooflig sowel as al die ander vertrekke.
Daar is self ekstra lampies en laai ligte vir kragonderbrekings wat jy kon gebruik het.
So ek verskil heeltemal van jou opmerkings en sou dit ook waardeer het as jy hierdie probleme met my opgeneem het terwyl jy daar was.

Oakdale Cottages is sub-standard in my opinion.
We travel a lot, but this place was the lowest standard we have ever stayed at. The TV didn't work (I called the owner and she said my husband just needed to install the rabbit ears - there were no rabbit ears). When I turned on the hot water tap in the kitchen, there was such a loud bang that my husband and I looked at each other in shock - needless to say we turned off the hot water cylinder and then didn't shower at all the next morning! Nothing in the cottage fits together - everything looks run-down!

Dit is baie vreemd om hierdie klagtes te lees. Die gas geiser werk 100% en bitter baie mense bly in hierdie huise en het nooit ooit probleme nie. 'n Mens kan nie die geiser afskakel nie, en ek verstuit my om te sê maar dalk weet julle niks van gas geiser af dan nie.
Julle het aangedring op DStv en was ongelukkig omdat ek gesê het ek het nie hierdie beskikbaar nie.

Breathtaking and so refreshing.
Had an incredibly peaceful time at the farm. It's very refreshing and the farm atmosphere with our other "friends" (ducks, cattle, kitten, chickens and donkeys) was a real highlight. Arrange the bliss for our city jays. Will definitely visit again. Irene was an adequate and excellent hostess. Even sorted us out with extra wood without charging us extra during loadshedding. The apartments are so beautiful. Local, idyllic place with even an indoor fireplace at such a reasonable price. Thanks again Irene.

I had a very friendly reception.
After a "reception" conversation, pianos came up and I was invited to try the piano in the house. It was quite an experience. The reception was very friendly and early in the morning the rooster confirmed to me that a new day is dawning. Lovely farm atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle.

Ek het vir julle 'n baie groter eenheid gegee as wat bespreek was. Wat die skoonheid en netheid betref was daar absoluut geen fout met my eenheid nie. Tydens jou verblyf, het jy nooit iets gesê ook hieroor nie. Wat waarde vir geld betref, is ek die goedkoopste in die hele dorp. Dit sou ideaal gewees het as jy jou misnoë opreg met my geopper het terwyl jy hier was sodat ons daaraan kon gehoor gee.

It's only if you want to grill, that there was no outdoor grill and the indoor grill is downstairs, so you have to stand bent over and grill the whole time. Other than that, everything is great.

It was a good experience. It might be a bit expensive for the fact that there was no milk for the coffee and tea, and maybe a biscuit or something would have added to the good experience. I can recommend it for the future.
