Baie dankie dat julle so mooi na Oupa en kleinseun gekyk het .

Oupa en kleinseun het vreeslik lekker gebly gedurende die Vryheid Rugby proewe. Hulle was bederf met lekkernye in die kombuisie en het baie tuis gevoel in die mooi akkommodasie!

Thank you very much for looking after Grandpa and grandson so well.

Grandpa and grandson had a wonderful stay during the Vryheid Rugby trials. They were spoiled with treats in the kitchenette and felt very much at home in the beautiful accommodation!

Onverwags mooi, lekker skoon huis, kraakvars beddegoed, lieflike gasheer en -vrou!

Ponderosa is 'n wonderlike, netjiese gastehuis, geleë in 'n lieflike tuin en die beste woonbuurt in Vryheid! Moenie 'n ander woonbuurt kies nie! Die gasheer en gasvrou is lieflike en meelewende mense, met hope inligting oor elke moontlike vraag - en ek kan nie genoeg beklemtoon hoe behulpsaam hulle is nie! Dit was 'n absolute plesier om hier tuis te gaan!

Unexpectedly beautiful, nice and clean house, crisp bedding, lovely host and wife!

Ponderosa is a wonderful, neat guesthouse, set in a lovely garden and the best neighbourhood in Vryheid! Don't choose another neighbourhood! The host and hostess are lovely and caring people, with loads of information on every possible question - and I can't stress enough how helpful they are! It was an absolute pleasure to call home here!

Decent.

The establishment was great as it's clean and it's situated in a safe place. However, when checking out, the host accused us of taking items from the establishment. She then confirmed she found them, but could not apologise for the condescending tone and choice of words she used. The customer service experience at the end was rather disappointing.

Ponderosa 's response

Ek is regtig jammer dat jy so voel. Ek het gesê jammer en dat dit wat ek gesoek het agter die potplant was. Julle het laat ingekom en nie net die 4 wat bespreek het nie, maar nog 4 ekstra mense wat tot na 22:00 gekuier het. Ek het genoem dat dit teen die reëls is. Almal was in 'n partytjiegees en so ook die geraas. Vir my was dit onaangenaam omdat hulle nie by die reëls hou nie.

Peaceful and relaxing.

Gerrit and Estelle are awesome hosts with a stunning self-catering accommodation that had so many small unexpected touches, like the variety of hot drink sachets to go with the rusks and biscuits, a range of useful toiletries, and extremely comfortable beds. It was just a pity that we didn't have enough time to enjoy the beautiful garden and pool. Ponderosa truly feels like a home away from home. We will definitely book again in the future.
