Area was stil en rustig en sonder geraas. Kon 'n goeie nagrus inkry.

Het tuis gevoel by Old Vic's Inn. Eienares het moeite gedoen om vroeg op te staan om die hek oop te maak (5h45) vir ons. Sal beslis weer Old Vic in die toekoms besoek.

Area was quiet and peaceful and without noise. Was able to get a good night's rest.

Felt at home at Old Vic's Inn. Owner made an effort to get up early to open the gate (5h45) for us. Will definitely visit Old Vic again in the future.

Was peaceful.

Not with family but as a lone traveller, it will be nice. The shower was only hot or cold all the time, so that was the only negative. And maybe remove the one couch and put in a cabinet to store clothes.

Thanks for this kind review.
Sorry about the hot water. It works on a gas geyser, it is perfect now.
Thanks for staying with us over the Indie Bos festival.

Was bededgoed meer gereeld, dit ruik baie benoud en nie vars nie.

Die bededgoed kan meer gereeld gewas word, dit ruik nie vars nie. Die kamers is baie skoon en die lugversorger het nie mooi gewerk nie, net wind geblaas. Van die kamers het nie 'n barfrieskas in nie, dit maak dit moeilik. Van die kamers het baie bedompig en benoud geruik.

Wash bedding more often, it smells very distressed and not fresh.

The bedding can be washed more often, it does not smell fresh. The rooms are very clean and the air conditioner didn't work well, just blowing wind. Some of the rooms do not have a bar fridge in them, this makes it difficult. Some of the rooms smelled very stuffy and stuffy.

Gemaklike skoon selfsorgeenheid. Waarde vir geld.

Ons het die oorslaap baie geniet. Hulle selfsorgeenheid was ruim en netjies met 'n heerlike, groot stort ook. Die eienaars is gasvry en behulpsaam. Dis sentaal geleë in 'n lekker stil area. Dis naby die grootste en lekkerste geheim daar rond. Abeega Roadhouse! Dis so lekker omdat dit naby is en die lekkerste, billikste prys wat kos het. Ons sal graag weer terugkom.

Comfortable clean self catering unit. Value for money.

We really enjoyed the sleepover. Their self-catering unit was spacious and tidy with a lovely, large shower too. The owners are hospitable and helpful. It is centrally located in a nice quiet area. It's close to the biggest and nicest secret around. Abeega Roadhouse! It's so nice because it's close and the tastiest, fairest price food has. We would love to come back again.

Net daar geslaap. Loadshedding is nie 'n probleem as daar voorsiening gemaak word deur die gastehuis nie!!

Geen kerse of ligte om te gebruik nie. Ook nie op die paadjie waar jy loop na jou kamer toe nie. Baie geraas deur ander inwoners Vrydag- en Saterdagaand. Gaan vra oor ontbyt gesê R150 vir 2 eiers en toast per persoon ─ sjoe dis baie. Kamers nie skoongemaak nie. Genoem dat ons kamer se slot nie werk nie, dit kan nie sluit nie, en hull het gesê hulle sal kyk. Glad nie reg gemaak nie. Jammer sal ons nie weer sien nie.

Just slept there. Loadshedding is not a problem if provisions are made!

No candles or lights to use. Also not on the path where you walk to your room. Lots of noise from other residents Friday and Saturday nights. Asked about breakfast, said R150 for 2 eggs and toast per person ─ well that's a lot. Rooms not cleaned. Mentioned our room's lock not working, it can't lock, and they said they would have a look. Not done at all. Sorry we won't see you again.

Baie dankie Marie-san, dat u die tyd gemaak het om Old Vic te gradeer. As eienaar is dit belangrik om kritiek uit u as gas se mond te hoor. Verder hoop ek u het die kamers wat ons opgradeer het, na 3 kamers pleks van 1, darem waardeer.
Graag wil ek bevestig dat my personeel aan u gevra het om u kamer te diens en dat daar aan hul gese is dit nie nodig is nie.
Ons eier en roosterbrood is R 40.00 per persoon. Die 4-gang ontbyt, wat net aan groepe bedien word, is R 150.00 per persoon.
Ons is baie streng om geraas, indien die mense wel bietjie hulself geniet het by 'n braai vleis en by die swembad kan ek waarborg dat dit teen 22:00 stil was.
Mag u 'n geseende week hê.
Groete, Bella.

Baie groot teleurstelling.

Met aankoms het ons glad nie welkom gevoel nie. Slegs 1 aand gebly, alhoewel ons vir 'n week betaal het. Advertensie is vals. Badkamer was vuil. Stortvloer was walglik vuil. Aandete is R200 per persoon en ons het nie gevoel asof hulle dit regtig wou doen nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Very big disappointment.

Upon arrival we did not feel welcome at all. Only stayed 1 night even though we paid for a week. Advertisement is false. Bathroom was dirty. Shower floor was disgustingly dirty. Dinner is R200 per person and we didn't feel like they really wanted to do that.

Thanks,
I think you booked the wrong place from the start.
At our backpackers, we welcome all people, and all South Africans are welcome here.
We tried our best to look after you, we offered you drinks on arrival gave your child juice and went out of our way to look after you.
Never once did you tell us anything was wrong.
Thanks for the review.

Can improve on safety, arrival at guest house, cleanliness of kitchen appliances, and light fixtures should have globes and covers.

As jy net 'n bed soek, is die reg. Vir enige ander verblyf gaan iewers anders.

Baie onvriendelik. Extra kostes vir alles, bv jou kamersleutel. Geen kaart fasiliteite. Kontantkroeg het net bier, teen belaglike pryse. Moet klokkie lui om hek oop te laat maak of bel.

If you're just looking for a bed, that's right. For any other accommodation go somewhere else.

Very unfriendly. Extra costs for everything, eg your room key. No card facilities. Cash bar only has beer, at ridiculous prices. Must ring bell to open gate or call.

Thank you for reviewing us.

We did upgrade your room free of charge, to an en-suite room with air-conditioning and a TV. We do request a refundable key deposit of R 50.00 which is refundable when guests check-out.

We do have a cash bar with wine and beers, but no hard spirits. We have 2 credit card machines.

Regarding security; we are in charge of the gates to keep guests safe and so we know who is on the property at all times. We have CCTV cameras, electric fencing, gates are always locked. We keep our costs low but never compromise on guests' safety. We are very secure. The establishment and the rooms are always kept clean.

Thank you for staying with us.

Dave

Goeiedag,

Baie dankie vir u terugvoer.

Neem kennis dat al ons selfsorg-eenhede en en suite-kamers hul eie badkamers het. Ons het 2 ekonomiese kamers wat een badkamer deel tussen 'n maksimum van 4 mense.

Die privaat dorm kamer het sy eie badkamer. terwyl die gemeenskaplikke dorms bestaan uit 3 kamers en het in totaal van 5 wasbakke, 3 toilette en 2 storte. Die area van die gemeenskaplik dorms is ook in 'n proses van opgradering. Voor einde November 2018, sal daar nog 2 storte en 2 toilette by die eenheid aangebring word.

Die kombuis van die gemeenskaplike dorm area word ook heeltemal oor gedoen.

Groete,
