Meesterlik, gasvry en huislik.

Ek moet eerlik sê, as jy 'n Engelsman wil sien braai en wat regtig goed kan braai, moet jy op 'n Dinsdag daar oorslaap. Dit is wonderlik en gasvry. Dit het goed gevoel om welkom te voel, selfs al is 'n mens nie by die huis nie.

Masterful, hospitable and homely.

I have to be honest, if you want to see an Englishman grill and who can grill really well, you should sleep over there on a Tuesday. It is wonderful and hospitable. It felt good to feel welcome, even if one was not at home.

Dit was 'n plesier om u te akkommodeer. Engelse se sout gemeng met Kaapse energie as bestuur, lekker high frequency genoeg om uit te deel. Ons sien beslis uit na u volgende koms. Ek het potjie kos op my mind.
Baie dankie vir die review.

Hidden gem in Camperdown.

Very peaceful and scenic place, the property is beautiful. Lots of citrus trees, flowers, greenery, wide open spaces for kids to play. Breakfast was lovely, and the breakfast area is very welcoming, lit the entire night with all the essentials you might need. Staff are very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. Rooms are very spacious and have all the essentials. The owner has equipped the property with self-sustainable features: water and electricity are always available, so no need to worry about load-shedding or water shortages.

It was amazing to have your family here. We hope to accommodate you soon in the near future. Thank you for the positive feedback.

Was baie aangenaam. Personeel baie behulpsaam en vriendelik. Enigste kritiek, die WI-FI werk nie.

Geskik vir vinnige oornagverblyf. Kamer was netjies en skoon. Ontbyt was nie sleg nie, net bietjie min.

Was very pleasant. Staff very helpful and friendly. Only criticism, the WI-FI does not work.

Suitable for quick overnight stays. Room was neat and clean. Breakfast was not bad, just little.

Good day Anna Rita, thank you for your review as this helps the communication between our guests and the management to make the stay as comfortable as possible.
We have a 1 terrabite of MTN data available which we are only able to use a max of around 60 gigs due to a signal problem. We have since changed to Telkom also on an unlimited option for everyone to enjoy which up to now appears to be working much better. We do have 3 routers on site to try cover all areas and even mobile ones available should you have signal problems in the event it is brought to our attention.
Our breakfasts are continental unlimited and portioned hot meals but in the event you are wanting more, our staff will gladly assist in additional portions at no extra cost.
Should you be visiting the area again we could offer you a 50% discount on your next visit for the inconvenience caused.
Hope you have an awesome weekend ahead.
Kind regards
Allan & the Orchards team.

Ek het oorgeslaap vir werk.

Die beddegoed het na "mens sweet" geruik. Ek vermoed dit is die kussings. Die beddegoed is ook swart en bruin. Ek het 'n baie ou en dun handdoek gekry. Dit was nie mooi skoon by die koppies nie. Die Ricoffee kitskoffie is sleg. Die kraan van die stort sit buite die stort. Die lugversorger se afstandsbeheer het nie gewerk nie. Ek het self die afstandsbeheer se batterye geruil met DSTV.

I overslept for work.

The bedding smelled of "human sweat". I suspect it's the pillows. The bedding is also black and brown. I found a very old and thin towel. It was not very clean at the cups. The Ricoffee instant coffee is bad. The faucet of the shower sits outside the shower. The air conditioner's remote control did not work. I changed the remote control's batteries myself with DSTV.

Ontspanne en rustig.

Naby die N3, maar tog rustig en stil.

Good day Schalk,
Thank you for the review.
I apologise that you had a bad experience with the shower. We were not made aware of the issue and as far as we knew, there were no issues in the room.
Our wifi signal does reach to all of our rooms. When you stayed with us, it was soon after the looting that occurred in KZN. The main wifi tower was down and our service provider was working very hard to get the tower up and running again.
Guests do not have access to our Kitchen, so perhaps you were talking about our Lapa area? We do try our best to keep the cockroaches away, we even spray and have traps set up for pest control. Unfortunately the BnB is on a farm, so there is going to be wildlife around, no matter how much poison we put down or how much we spray. We do try our best and have gone to great lengths to keep our areas as sanitary as possible.
We do hope to see you again in the near future and give you a better experience with us.
Kind Regards,
Ellen

The place is neat and tidy with pretty much everything you could require for a quick business one or two-night stopover.

Alan, the owner is a real character and tries incredibly hard to keep guests happy and accommodated. Take him up on his offer to braai if you get the chance. I would stay at Orchard's again if forced to visit the area.

Hi Deon, thank you for the review. It's been a long time since we last saw you. It was a pleasure to accommodate you at that time, and we hope to see you in the near future.

Cleanliness is key.

Facilities were very dated and not cleaned properly. Dirty and torn carpets in the bathroom, not to mention the germ-attracting toilet seat cover. The blinds on the door were broken, so people could easily see into the room. No hand towel was provided. Only one bath towel was provided for two guests - the owner or manager were not present for us to request another towel.

Good day Cath,
Please provide me with your banking details on the contact number you have of mine for a refund.
This is not the standard we offer at Orchards, I must apologise as we had temp staff.
Kind regards and a blessed Christmas.

Dis lekker in die "bos", weg van stadslawaai.

Orchards was goed. Net een ding wat gepla het. Ek moes my eie ontbyt maak. Anders baie lekker.

Nice in the bush far from the noisy city.

Orchards was good. Just one issue. I had to make my own breakfast. Otherwise very nice.

Thank you Clive, for your review. Orchards Bed and Breakfast bookings are all inclusive of a continental breakfast, however on request at a separate fee, we could gladly offer a hot breakfast. Should you visit our establishment in the near future we would arrange a free hot breakfast at no additional cost for the misunderstanding.
Kind regards,
Allan
