Pleasant and quiet.

The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. The only thing that would be nice is to have an electric blanket for the cold winter nights. Parking is safe and secure. Nice and secluded away from the hustle and bustle of the town, but close enough should you need anything from shops.

Fine but not fantastic.

The cottages at Plover Cottages are very cute, but they needed an update and a thorough clean, and maybe a fumigation. There is a lot of space for vehicles, and if you have a caravan.

Het meer verwag maar het lekker warm geslaap. Vir 'n oornag is dit aanvaarbaar.

Baie basiese verblyf met 'n 2 plaat stofie, mikrogolf en yskas. Hulle stortgeriewe is klein, maar ten minste geen probleme met warm water nie. Ontvangs was so-so.

Goeie verblyf wat nie 'n arm en 'n been kos nie.

Ons het heerlik in no. 2 gebly. Yolandi het ons met ope arms verwelkom. Ons het alles gehad wat nodig was. Ons sal vir seker weer soontoe gaan. Die rustigheid en stilte was nie te versmaai nie.

Goeie waarde vir geld.

Goed geleë, naby N1 maar nie te naby om deur voertuiggeraas gepla te word nie. Reg vir oorslaap op pad na iewers anders. Goeie diens gekry, geen klagtes nie. Nie perfek nie, maar goeie waarde vir geld. Aandete bestel, moeite werd gewees. Sal weer daar oorbly.

'n Gevoel van verweer van meubels and rondawelgebou.

Die rondawel is inderhaas skoongemaak toe ons aanland. Die prys is miskien aanvaarbaar vir wat aangebied word. Maar die foto-voorstelling and beskrywing op die webtuiste het hoër verwagtinge geskep as wat die werklikheid geblyk het.

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

A sense of weathering of furniture and rondavel building.

The rondavel was hastily cleared when we landed. The price is perhaps acceptable for what is offered. But the photo representation and description on the website created higher expectations than the reality turned out to be.

Baie dankie. Alles wat mens nodig het vir 'n reis met troeteldiere. Goeie ligging net skaars vanaf N1 en veilig. Baie landelik. Vriendelike ontvangs. Pragtige sonsopkoms in die natuurskoon. Stilte terwyl mens rustig slaap.

Ons het net oornag daar op pad na Dullstroom en Kruger NP.

Ons het heerlik geslaap. Die nuwe eienaars is baie vriendelik en het glo onlangs oorgeneem. Die plek is baie goed geleë uit die stad van Bloemfontein en naby die N1. Die plekkie kort bietjie TLC maar ek glo as hulle goed ondersteun word sal hulle die nodige verbeteringe aanbring.

Beautiful place, nice furniture and a good location, but needs attention.

The place has so much potential and is well located. It needs urgent attention and a good cleaning. There are not towel rails for that many people (6). There are not 6 chairs at the table. There is a no smoking sign, but the adjacent ones smoke you out. The braai drum is rusted through. The site needs attention, grass is very long and it appears the septic tank is overflowing.

Eerder oornagplek.

Swak ontvang. Skoomaker was nie bewus ons kom so vroeg nie (14:00). Eienaar? Boodskap gestuur dat sy volgende dag sou kom groet, nooit gebeur nie! Eienaar se hondebollie lê hele plek vol. Plek het baie potensiaal, kort net goeie bestuur. Baie stof bo-op kaste. Vloere nie van die skoonste nie. Hulle kan gerus 'n besem in die plek sit om plek uit te vee.

Rather a place to stay the night.

Poor reception. Skoomaker was not aware we were coming so early (2:00 p.m.). Owner? Message sent that she would come say hello the next day, never happened! Owner's dog bun is all over the place. Place has a lot of potential, just needs good management. Lots of dust on top of cupboards. Floors not the cleanest. They can feel free to put a broom in the place to clear the place.

Hallo Daniel
Dankie vir jou terugvoer. Ek was ongelukkig uitstedig soos genoem in my Whatsapp boodskap aan jou. Ek het die nodige stappe geneem met my personeel, aangesien hulle baie deeglik bewus was van julle besoek. Ek was Vrydag laat tuis en het geloer om te groet, maar julle deur en gordyne was toe. Ek probeer privaatheid respekteer aangesien die doel van besoeke aan ons is om te kom ontspan. Jy was baie welkom om enige ongelukkigheid aan my uit te lig, ek het kontak gemaak via Whatsapp. Ons waardeer die terugvoer en sal beslis daarop let.
Groete
Yolandi

Disappointing experience.

The facility was confirmed as animal friendly at the time of my booking but despite me confirming my expected time of arrival well in advance and also calling upon arrival at the gate the owner's 5 dogs still ran loose and gathered around my car at the time of my arrival and it caused incredible stress for me, after traveling for 10 hours, as well as for my 2 dogs that I had arranged for. The condition of the furniture in the unit is really poor and it seems as if everything that was redundant in the house was simply moved to the unit. The upholstery on the chairs is dirty, floor tiles are broken and loose, the shower head is completely loose and you end up with it in your hand if you want to adjust it. The curtains in the unit differ in colour, part tone and length with the hooks having been cut out and therefore the curtains do not close properly. I accept that it is a self-catering unit and the guests are therefore requested to wash the dishes. What is worrying, however, is the condition of the sponge and scourer provided for washing up and this immediately raises the question of how cleanly the previous guest/guests could have washed the crockery and kitchen equipment with the sponge and scourer in this condition. is. Photos to confirm the above facts are available on request. The directions for tuning the DStv channels are not at all clear and I was not successful in tuning the TV to any of the available channels. To receive a WhatsApp message on the evening of my stay on January 3, 2022 (at 8:56 p.m.) that there is an amount of R200 outstanding according to their records and that I must pay it immediately, while I already settle all amounts on December 18, 2021 has is unacceptable. The fact that I had to send proof that my account was settled in full, on which no feedback was received to confirm their mistake and/or an apology for the inconvenience, raises a question about the focus on service delivery. At the time of my departure, the remote control did not work and I had to request by phone again that the gate be opened. I am of the opinion that the facility is not maintained at all, that it therefore does not offer value for money to the traveller, while the level of service delivery is worrying and I will therefore not use the facility again, nor for would not recommend to any other travelers.
