The stay was convenient for us as we were a few minutes away from our daughter and therefore we were there only from about 22:00 each evening to 08:00 each morning.

They forgot to put the geyser on twice in our 4 day stay. For us it was fine. A mirror in the room would be great. Dark towels don't do it for me. Jacqueline was extremely friendly. Okay! It was convenient.

Dis stil en moes net kombuis self gedoen het.

Parkeering is baie beknop, een persoon se kar klaar gestamp.

It's quiet and should have just done the kitchen itself.

Parking is very tight, one person's car is already bumped.

Nie baie gerieflik nie.

Glad nie die eenheid gekry wat op die web gewys is nie. Die beddens se matrasse was nie gemaklik nie, bietjie baie oud. Kon nie lekker koffie maak nie moes die ketel op die grond sit om by die krag prop uit te kom. Te min gordyne, mens kon van buite af direk op my dogter kyk terwyl sy slaap. Gee nie om vir 'n klein plekkie nie, maar as jy 6 ure op die pad was sal jy graag net gemaklik wou slaap en privaatheid hê.

Not very convenient.

Didn't get the unit shown on the web at all. The beds' mattresses were not comfortable, a bit very old. Couldn't make good coffee had to put the kettle on the ground to get to the power plug. Too few curtains, one could look directly at my daughter while she was sleeping from outside. Don't mind a small place, but if you've been on the road for 6 hours you'll just want to sleep comfortably and have privacy.

Gasvryheid is die sleutel hier om jou so welkom te laat voel, asof jy jou ouerhuis besoek. Behulpsaam en gemaklik.

Indien jy jou menswees wil vind, jouself wil wees, geen nonsens en geen pretensies wil voorhou nie, dan besoek jy Jacqui se gastehuis. Hier kan jy ontspan. Dit word 'n familie, nie net vriende nie. Dis die mense met inbors en simpatie en bereidwilligheid om jou as persoon in wese te laat blom. Alles kom opreg uit die hart.

The hospitality is the key to make you feel at home, it's like you are visiting your parents' house. Helpful and comfortable.

If you want to find your humanity, be yourself, no nonsense and no pretending, then you should visit Jacqui's guest house. Here you can relax. They become family, not just friends. These people have sympathy and are willing to let you grow as a person. Everything comes from the heart.

Uitstekende diens!

Ons het heerlik gebly! Dit is inderdaad 'n "home away from home". Die eienaar het uit haar hospitaalbed uitstekende diens gelewer. Ons is binnekort weer terug!

Vriendelike, hulpvaardige gasvrou. Veilige, doeltreffende woonplek.

Ek en my tienerdogter het vir 'n week daar tuisgegaan tydens ons verhuising. Die eienares het uit haar pad gegaan om ons welkom te laat voel. Die akkommodasie is nie luuks nie maar goeie waarde vir geld. Geen rede tot klagtes nie.

Friendly, helpful hostess. Safe, efficient place to live.

My teenage daughter and I stayed there for a week during our move. The landlady went out of her way to make us feel welcome. The accommodation is not luxurious but good value for money. No cause for complaint.

Perfek.

Die beste besluit om by oornag @Jacqueline Drive te bly vir my tyd wat ek gr 12 vraestelle nagesien het. Fantastiese geriewe, skoon, alles tot my beskikking wat ek nodig gehad het. Gemoedsrus. Gasvry! Vriendelik! Alles waar wat geadverteer was. As dit so beskik is dat ek volgende jaar weer aangestel word, en sy het vir my "my kamer" beskikbaar, klok ek weer in!

Perfect.

It was the best decision to stay at Oornag @ Jacqueline Drive during my revision of grade 12 papers. Fantastic facilities, clean, everything I needed was there. Peace of mind. Hospitable! Friendly! Everything that was advertised. If I am employed again next year and she has "my room" available I'll definitely book in again!

Baie lekker, vriendelike ontvangs.

Eerste indrukke kan verbeter, gordyne in kamers en badkamers asook vloerteëls moet aandag kry. Plek is veilig, diens is uitstekend en ontvangs is hoogs professioneel. Sentraal geleë en naby alle groot winkels.

Guest house disaster stay.

Unfortunately I will not be able to recommend this guesthouse to other guests, due to the unprofessional conduct and disturbing occurrences at Oornag. On arrival the hostess welcomed me very cheerfully, with a glass of wine in her hand, she noted that coffee and rusks will be send to my room, but even after I reminded her that it still has not arrived it never showed up, she offered me a glass of wine instead, which at that stage I thought was very unprofessional, although the room was always nice and clean, it was very noisy and the sounds of people arguing and swearing at each other continued until 22:30 that night. After eventually falling asleep I had a rude awakening when the arguing just continued the next morning. I packed my bags and left the guest house as soon as possible, I even left without getting a refund for the remainder night already paid. This is really not the kind of treatment you would expect at any guest house and I will definitely never recommend anyone to stay at this guest house ever!

Oornag @ Jacqueline Drive 's response

I am shocked by the review. I just want to clarify a few things. I did not welcome the guest with a glass of wine in my hand. We do not serve rusks. All the guests bring their own items. This is a self-catering establishment. The guest told me that she enjoys wine. I invited her to have a glass of wine with myself and other people. There was no arguing or fighting. The guest herself was on the phone until 12:00. She didn't pack her bags and just left. She was at the facility until after 12:00. She was happy and then she approached me and told me that there is a change in plans and that she will not be staying the night. She asked me if she could get a refund. I told her that normally we don't refund so such short notice, but I will accommodate her taking into consideration her current position. I specifically told her that I am waiting for the payment of her booking. Once I receive it, I will pay her money back. I am of opinion that she might be angry that I couldn't refund her immediately.


I am shocked by Mr Hattings Review. As we at oornag have tried our best to understand her situation and had empathy for her sitiuation. I went of company policy in regard to the refund to ensure that she is happy. She sent me a whatsapp to thank me for my hospitality.

Obviousely she was not. I can provide the other guests cell no. If I need to bring a wittness.
