Wonderful stay, grateful for the delicious breakfast on the house. Room was spacious and comfortable. The little outdoor area is also a treat.

Dit was heerlik en hulle was baie gasvry.

Ek sal voorstel, oor dit in so dig bos area is dat hulle net so nou en dan van die spinnekopnessies afvee. Dit is maar deel van in die bos bly.

It was delicious and they were very hospitable.

I would suggest, because it is in such a thickly wooded area, that they wipe off the spider webs every now and then. It's just part of living in the woods.

Uitstekende koste-effektiewe-verblyf.

Dis die beste waarde vir geld wat ek in 'n lang tyd gehad het. Baie mooi groot kamer met gerieflike koninggrootte-bed, platskerm-TV met alle kanale, koffie-plunger, yskas, strykyster en plank. Ontbyt bestaan uit goeie keuse wat in kamer bedien word. Baie skoon en netjies en vriendelike en behulpsame eienaars. Vrugte en beskuit was ook voorsien.

Pollock’s B&B is baie netjies en smaakvol. Die badkamer is baie mooi en die Pollocks is uitstekende gashere. Hulle het byvoorbeeld vir ons plek gekry in ‘n uitstekende, baie gewilde restaurantjie net om die draai. Ons het baie lekker oorgebly op pad tussen Oudtshoorn en Richardsbaai.

Hi Elsabe,
Thank you so much for your very positive review.
It was really good meeting you as well - sometimes I wish we were given the opportunity to rate our guests because you are a 10 out of 10 guest!
By the way, what was the final outcome of the cricket?
We hope to see you again.

Aangenaam, ek sal dit aanbeveel.

Baie lekker ruim kamer met DStv en WiFi. Baie aangename gasheer en -vrou. Baie goed geleë en ek dink dis redelik veilig. Al wat my gepla het was die vuil ketel en beddegoed wat nie 100% skoon was nie. Die spek en eiers was baie olierig. Miskien is ek hiper-krities, maar ek is eerlik.

Cleanliness is important.

The couple was friendly and the breakfast is not bad. However, the carpet in the amber room stinks and the bathroom was not clean. For me a clean bed and bathroom are the most important things when I look for a place. The sleeper couch makes a squeaky noise. I wasn't even sleeping on it but I could still hear it.
