Kamer problematies maar personeel fantasties!

Die kamer het probleme gehad, plûgs het nie gewerk na loadshedding nie, die lugversorger was nie effektief nie, en ons het nie toiletpapier gekry nie. Die "blind" het afgeval as die wind waai. Die toilet het nie altyd gespoel nie, maar die personeel was baie vriendelik en het ons baie welkom laat voel. Hulle het die probleme met die kamer reggestel.

Room problematic but staff fantastic!

The room had problems, plugs didn't work after loadshedding, the air conditioner was not effective, and we didn't get toilet paper. The "blind" fell off when the wind blew. The toilet didn't always flush, but the staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. They fixed the problems with the room.

Home away from home.

The hosts were very helpful and warm. Accommodated my husband and my daughter's dietary needs. Even set up our family New Year's Eve dinner. Would definitely recommend to a friends and family.

My verwagting heeltemal oorskry. Die kamers is modern toegerus en netjies. Personeel was altyd vriendelik en behulpsaam. Rerig gehelp oor al met wat hulle kon. Reëls word goed toegepas om te sorg dat ander gaste nie gehinder of gepla word nie. Sal vir seker weer gebruik maak van OTE en hoop om volgende keer weer gebruik te maak van julle.

Knysna Marathon en Oesterfees.

Ons het baie lekker hier gebly. Luukse kamer met als wat jy nodig het. Baie goeie diens en uitstekende kos word bedien. Ons moes vroeg uitgaan en kon nie ontbyt eet nie en hulle het toe vir ons 'n middagete aangebied om dit te vervang. Ons sal beslis weer daar bly.

The stay was unpleasant.

On arrival, the unit was not ready. When we finally got the unit there was food in the fridge from previous guests and the fridge was dirty. There was also dirty cutlery outside on the braai. There are not even bedside tables with lamps next to the bed. The unit was also not serviced on the 3rd of January. Some of the lights didn't even have light bulbs in them. Porch was never cleaned. The single beds are just wobbly. We would not recommend the guest house to anyone.

Baie lekker en baie rustig, ontbyt was heerlik met 'n mooi uitsig.

Baie lekker gastehuis met 'n vreeslike mooi uitsig, personeel baie vriendelik en behulpsaam, dink net dis dalk bietjie duur omdat dit nie DStv insluit nie, die geyser was ook af so daar was geen warm water nie.

Ons is vriendelik ontvang deur Liske wat ons ook rondgewys het. Die kamers is pragtig ingerig en baie netjies en skoon. Ons het rustig geslaap en die ontbyt was heerlik. Die ligging is ook goed en sal maklik langer kon bly.

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang en dit was oor die algemeen 'n goeie ervaring hoewel ons net vir 1 nag by Beauchamp oornag het.

Ons was 4 volwassenes en 1 baba en die een kamer was 'n ruim familiekamer en baie goed toegerus. Die ander kamer was duidelik nuut oorgedoen en baie netjies hoewel dit nogal lastig was dat daar nie spieëls in die badkamer was en die tv slegs 2 kanale vertoon het, wat glad nie vir ons gewerk het nie. Die diens was vriendelik en goed en die ontbyt was lekker hoewel die diens baie swak was, aangesien een persoon aan ons tafel glad nie sy bestelling ontvang het nie en ons moes wag tot nadat almal anders aan die tafel reeds klaar geëet was, voordat sy warm ontbyt opgedaag het. Ek sal egter weer daar oornag en sal dit kan aanbeveel.

We were received very kindly and it was generally a good experience although we only stayed at Beauchamp for 1 night.

We were 4 adults and 1 baby and the one room was a spacious family room and very well equipped. The other room was clearly newly redone and very neat although it was quite annoying that there were no mirrors in the bathroom and the tv only showed 2 channels, which didn't work for us at all. The service was friendly and good and the breakfast was nice although the service was very poor, as one person at our table did not receive his order at all and we had to wait until after everyone else at the table had already finished eating, before his hot breakfast arrived. However, I would stay there again and would be able to recommend it.

Net as die persoon vir 'n nag of twee oorbly.

Die plek is nie geskik vir langer as twee of drie dae om oor te slaap nie. Die probleem is dat jy in die yskas basies "niks" kan sit nie. Jy moet elke dag dorp toe ry om te kry wat jy vanaand wil eet.

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

Only if the person is staying for a night or two.

The place is not suitable for more than two or three days to sleep over. The problem is that you can basically put "nothing" in the fridge. You have to drive to town every day to get what you want to eat tonight.

Oulik.

Zelda het haar bes gedoen, en die plek lyk oulik. Dit was Desember en van die ander gaste het baie luidkeels gekuier - heel dag in die tuin en toe die aand by die braai, beide was ongelukkig baie naby my kamer. Maar in stiller tye behoort dit heeltemal anders wees.

Cute.

Zelda did her best, and the place looks cute. It was December and some of the other guests were very loud - all day in the garden and then in the evening at the braai, unfortunately both were very close to my room. But in quieter times it should be quite different.

Baie aangenaam en rustig!

Ek en my drie volwasse kinders het net een aand oorgeslaap. Ons was verras met die vriendelikheid, goeie diens, mooi en goed toegeruste kamers. Dit was stil deur die nag en die ontbyt was werklik iets besonders! Die swembad was net buite werking a.g.v. 'n skielike pomp-probleem, wat jammer was, nogtans sal ek die plek aanbeveel.

Very pleasant and peaceful!

My three adult children and I only slept over one night. We were surprised with the friendliness, good service, beautiful and well equipped rooms. It was quiet throughout the night and the breakfast was truly something special! The swimming pool was only out of order due to a sudden pump problem, which was unfortunate, nevertheless I would recommend the place.

Ons het lekker gebly en die personeel was baie vriendelik. Dit was net baie koud.

Ek het baie gehou van ons verblyf, maar ek sal nie weer tydens Oesterfees daarheen gaan nie. Die hele fees draai net om die fietsry-kompetisie. Die paaie was gesluit en alles word op fietry gefokus. Ek weet nie hoekom dit Oesterfees genoem word nie, want nêrens was daar oesterstalletjies nie. Die stalletjies wat 'n paar jaar gelede daar was, bestaan nie meer nie. Jy loop al die pad na die groot markiestente en wanneer jy daar kom is dit net tente vol beamptes en fietryers. Die fees se naam moet eintlik wees "Argus fietstoer Knysna-roete".

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

We had a nice stay and the staff was very friendly. It was just very cold.

I really liked our stay, but I won't go there again during Oyster Festival. The whole festival revolves around the cycling competition. The roads were closed and everything was focused on speeding. I don't know why it's called Oyster Festival because there were no oyster stalls anywhere. The stalls that were there a few years ago no longer exist. You walk all the way to the big marquees and when you get there it's just tents full of officers and riders. The festival's name should actually be "Argus cycle tour Knysna route".
