This was an amazing experience. I only wish we had stayed longer.

The stay was amazing. Excellent service from arrival until we left. The peace of mind knowing that our car was safe inside the yard. We had the apartment to ourselves, and there were no interruptions. This is the perfect place for someone who wants peace.

Unpleasant, not value for money. Used to better.

Too rustic for my liking. Did not expect that in the city. Small and cramped. Only used the place to sleep. Used to travel and B&Bs was an idea this time. Did not sleep well. Stuff falling from trees on the roof. Had to negotiate passing the pool edge to the door and room entrance. Overpriced.

Die kamers is maar baie klein vir wat jy betaal. Mens kan skaars rondbeweeg en die bure oorkant jou kan in jou kamer inkyk.

Die kliëntediens was billik, baie dankie aan die dames.

Not the "paradise" I expected.

There was only 1 single bed with a base/mattress as the fourth bed. Not good enough for 4 adults. Main bed, on the right-hand side if standing in front of the bed, there is like a ditch in the mattress with a spring almost coming through the mattress, not good. Bathroom's sliding door has wide openings on both sides, lacks privacy. Not good. Kitchen area is well-equipped though. I think with little alternations and upgrading, unit 1 can be very nice, but currently it is not good enough for 4 adults, maybe a couple and a small child. Angles of photos are a bit misleading, but these issues can easily be rectified and make it a great stay.

Die stilte wat jy soek.

Dit was lekker gewees net jammer is te kort, die kamer is ook goed uitgelê. Gelukkig was dit nie berutkrag nie maar self dit kan jy sien daar is voorbereiding getref indien die Eskom-monster sy gesig uitsteek. Die aand was lekker stil en rustig, dankie vir warm ontvangs.

The silence you seek.

It was nice, just a shame it's too short, the room is also well laid out. Fortunately, it was not begrudging, but you can see that preparations have been made in case the Eskom monster shows its face. The evening was nice and quiet, thank you for the warm welcome.

Kon nie slaap a.g.v. te veel lig en swak bed.

Baie lig a.g.v. buiteligte wat deurnag brand. Nie gordyne wat lig uitblok. Bed baie swak toestand. Stortkop stukkend - mors baie water. Toilet sitplek los. Vensters kan nie oop of toe nie. Snaakse reuk in kamer.

The accommodation is not suitable for family, the space is too small, poor layout of beds and not child-friendly.

The guest house is very disappointing. On arrival we had to wait to be let into the property after a long drive this is not ideal. The bed for the kids is against the TV and the second 'single bed' is just a mattress, stored under the bed. My 2 year old son had bite marks all over him in the morning, not sure if it were flees. The accommodation was clean in appearance, but the sleeping arrangements and having to wait with 3 kids after a long drive, to be let in was very disappointing and irritating. The TV remote did not work properly so that was also an issue. Overall not a good experience. Might be better suited to a young couple.

Good day Esterleen, thank you for your feedback. We take all comments from our guests very seriously.

We have since closed the cottage for a complete refurbishment and we would like to offer you a complementary nights stay, depending on availability when you choose to redeem the offer.

Ontspannend, dit voel soos 'n vakansieoord.

Baie gerieflik deur en deur. Ek sal net graag 'n beter stortgordyn of glydeur in die toekoms wil sien. Die badkamerdeur kan ook miskien opgegradeer word om 100% privaatheid te kan handhaaf.
