Rustige omgewing in die mooiste tuin en uitsig oor die meer.

Ideale plek om te ontspan en te herlaai. Alles wat nodig is, was daar. Pragtige uitleg en omgewing. Naby middedorp, maar ver genoeg van al die geraas.

Quiet surroundings in the most beautiful garden and view of the lake.

Ideal place to relax and recharge. Everything needed was there. Beautiful layout and setting. Close to town center but far enough from all the noise.

Dis lekker uit op die dek en tussen die bome.

Dit was erg bedompig, maar daar is 'n waaier in plek. Die badkamer is bietjie knap, maar as jy mooi draai sal jy niks stamp nie. Die trapppe was erg, so reis maar met min, anders gaan jy jou dood drae. Ek is baie goed ontvang en lekker in Afrikaans gehelp. Ek kan eerlikwaar nie kerm oor iets by Protea Guest House nie. Die WiFi is sterk, so onthou 'n tablet of laptop vir Netflix. Die fotos is 100% soos dit lyk, selfs waar die waaier staan.

It's nice out on the deck and among the trees.

It was very stuffy, but there is a fan in place. The bathroom is a bit neat, but if you turn carefully you won't bump into anything. The stairs were bad, so travel sparingly or you will die. I was very well received and helped in Afrikaans. I honestly can't complain about anything at Protea Guest House. The WiFi is strong, so remember a tablet or laptop for Netflix. The photos are 100% as they appear, even where the fan stands.

Goeie waarde vir geld.

Baie lekker in die kothuis gebly vir 10 dae. Heerlik stil en pragtige omgewing. Die kothuis het alles wat nodig is vir selfsorgdoeleindes. Die toegang via stiltes en trappe kan 'n uitdaging wees indien swaar bagasie betrokke is. Vra vir hulp.

Pleasant, good position, can do a little more for customer service.

It was fine. Duvet did not fit cover. Towels extremely thin. Communication poor (they must have got my cell phone number wrong as I never got the WhatsApp they claim to have sent me). One can at least get a small 250ml of milk for coffee. Creamer alone is not really acceptable.

Protea Guest House 's response

Good day,
Unfortunately, we have a new cleaner and she must have inserted the duvet inner incorrectly. It was a queen inner in a queen cover so it is not that it didn't fit the cover. Regarding your comment about poor communication, you didn't bother to ask us if you could check in late. This is a breach of our house rules as you checked in around 21:30 only while you were well aware that our check-in time was until 19:00. You only called late in the day to inform us that you were checking in late. This is not acceptable as you cannot make your own rules without any consideration for others. We provide self-catering accommodation and you need to buy your own condiments according to ur listing type. The beverages that we offer are only a courtesy. We provide affordable accommodation and our rate is much lower than the average rate for accommodation in our area hence what we offer is reflected in our low asking price.

Baie gerieflik ingerig. Pragtige terrein.

Die eenheid het alles gehad wat 'n mens moontlik kon nodig kry. Pragtige uitsig, pragtige terrein, rustige omgewing, vriendelike ontvangs. Parkering vir voertuie is ongelukkig nie agter 'n veiligheidshek nie. Die hek na die eenhede word ook nie met 'n slot gesluit nie.

Overnight stay on the way home from doing the Otter trail.

Four guests and one couch, sat like four little birds in a row. The floor slopes, so does the stove. The place was clean, but old and in need of some TLC. Two hot showers, but the rest lukewarm. The man who greeted us was lovely, no problems with the accommodation per se. We had a long wheel base car and had to park in the tiny spots with a portion of the car jutting into the street. Not fun in the morning when construction vehicles started coming up the road. When we asked the host if we could park in the driveway, we were told rather shortly not to.

Protea Guest House 's response

From the minute these guests checked in we found them to be unfriendly and disrespectful. The first thing they did was to complain and joke about the stairs. I then asked Sandra if they didn't see the stairs when they had booked the place and she said no. I find it completely nonsensical that you book a place and then you expect a place to be how you would like it to be. There are clear pictures and a description of the place on this platform so if you look at the description and the pictures, you would know what you are booking. There is one big couch in the dining room. If you want a couch for every person then you should book more units. Why would you even ask to park in front of a garage with a big 'No Parking' sign and a big traffic cone in front of the entrance? What about cars parked in the garage? The parking spaces provided are big enough and we often get guests who comfortably park their minivans there. We noticed that the driver did not park correctly in the parking bays and we cannot help if someone struggles to park a car. Construction vehicles coming up our road is completely outside of our control, as it would be out of your control if building works are being done in the area where you live. Don't know about a sloping floor and stove.

Heerlike, rustige verblyf in 'n veilige omgewing.

Aangenaam verras, heerlik ontspannend om sommer net op die dek te sit, weg van die wêreld.

Die ontvangs was vriendelik, die atmosfeer rustig en ontspannend. Ontbyt word bedien by die woning en dit is net rustig om dit in die stilte te geniet. Baie lekker gebly in die amperse woud.

Rustige omgewing en mooi uitsig.

Ontvangs en diens was vriendelik. Uitsig pragtig. Sou graag jogurt saam met oggend muesli en ontbyt verkies het. Badkamer met stort is baie klein maar kamer met oopplan-kombuis gedeelte lekke groot. Parkering op straat voel bietjie onveilig vir ons maar verstaan dit is seker nie altyd moontlik vir parkering agter 'n geslote hek. Lekke naby waterfront.

Bathroom with shower is very small but room with open plan kitchen part is quite large. Parking on the street feels a bit unsafe to us but understand that it is probably not always possible to park behind a locked gate. Leaks near waterfront.

Gerieflik met 'n onbeskryflike uitsig.

Ek en my ma het seker die koudste 3 dae van die jaar gekies om daar by Protea House te gaan kuier. Die elektriese komberse op die beddens was wonderlik en die olieverwarmer onmisbaar. Alles was netjies en skoon met 'n gasvrou wat uit haar pad gegaan het om ons gerief te verseker. Baie dankie Adri!

Bietjie verslete.

Afgesien van die pragtige uitsig en skoon handdoeke is die res maar verslete vir die prys wat mens betaal.

Moenie dat die foto's jou mislei nie.

Eienaar was baie vriendelik en ontbyt lekker. Die badkamertjie is baie klein en beknop. Die huisie ruik na muf en daar het mense die eerste aand op ons stoep partytjie kom hou. Spinnekoppe en spinnerakke oral, kaste en laaie met kombuisgoed in ook baie vuil. Stoep en uitsig mooi.

Don't let the photos mislead you.

Very friendly owner and delicious breakfast. The bathroom is very small. The house smells of mould and people held a party on our veranda the first night. Spiders and webs everywhere. Cupboards and drawers with kitchen equipment were very dirty. Veranda with nice view.

Protea Guest House 's response

Hierdie persoon was van die begin af moeilik, toe sy bespreek het, het sy gesê hulle is op wittebrood en wat gaan ek daar omtrent doen. Toe het ek geantwoord ek kan blomme en sjampanje in die kamer sit, maar die dame het geweier. Ek het in al die jare nog nooit iemand gekry wat sê die eenhede is vuil nie. Inteendeel, hoor ons altyd hoe besonder skoon dit is. Daar is geen spinnerakke in die eenhede nie. Ons is baie bedag daarop want, die eenhede is 'n bietjie in die bos en veral die mense van oorsee sal beangs wees as daar so iets is. Dat mense in die nag op hulle dek kom partytjie hou het is nie waar nie. Hierdie erf lê teen die skuinste en klank trek baie gou baie vêr. Ek het met die mense voor hulle gepraat wie se hoof-slaapkamer venster naby hulle dek is waar die partyjie sou wees. Hulle het niks gehoor nie inteendeel gesê hoe stil en rustig dit hier is. Die mense direk langs hulle het niks gehoor nie. Haar man wat langs haar gelê het, het ook niks gehoor nie. Toe sy die volgende oggend die storie vir my kom vertel, toe het haar man wat agter haar gestaan het, vir my seun 'n snaakse gesig getrek as of sy vrou nonsies praat. Die hele probleem is sy was verskriklik bang om in daardie eenheid te slaap omdat dit so in die bos is met die lagoon uitsig van voor. Al die mense is mal daaroor. Ek het, net voor hulle, Duitsers gehad wat vir 3 dae gebly het en nog 2 dae wou bly omdat dit vir hulle so speiaal is, maar ek was reed vol bespreek en kon hulle nie help nie. Maak maar julle eie gevolgtrekking.
Groete
Adri

Waarde vir geld. Uitsig vanaf balkon is lieflik!

Dit was 'n heerlike ervaring. Die ontbyt op die balkon is 'n treffer. Die badkamer is bietjie knap, maar piekfyn vir korttermyn-verblyf. Ons is hartlik en vriendelik ontvang. Gewis 'n lekker kuier gewees!

Stay was great and the setting and view is perfect. Lovely, spacious, clean cottage. Breakfast basic, yet enough. Will definitely go again!

We had a lovely stay, great cottage and will certainly recommend this. View is beautiful. Area convenient and close to everything. Thanks to Adri for keeping up such a lovely place! Other reviews rave about breakfast on the deck and may set an unrealistic expectation: a basic breakfast is delivered and not "pre table-set", so be prepared to do your own setting, inside or outside, depending on weather. Clean and comfortable! A place to return to for sure! Lovely combination of B&B and self-catering.

Rustige area, netjiese eenheid, baie mooi tuin en mooi uitsig oor die meer.

Netjies, nie te fancy nie, meubels net bietjie oud, maar oor die algemeen oulik en netjies. Kamer ruim en gerieflik toegerus. Prys nie te duur vir wat jy kry nie.

Netjies en skoon.

Geleë in wat ek en my vrou as 'n taamlike rustige buurt ervaar het. Veilig, netjies en skoon, al is die dekor van 'n bietjie ouer styl. Die hoogtepunt was die ontbyt op ons eie private dek, alles kraakvars om te geniet sonder die gewemel van ander mense. Kan dit aanbeveel vir die lekker afsondering wat dit bied.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Neat and clean.

Located in what my wife and I experienced as a fairly quiet neighborhood. Safe, neat and clean, even if the decor is of a slightly older style. The highlight was the breakfast on our own private deck, all fresh to enjoy without the hustle and bustle of other people. Can recommend it for the nice seclusion it offers.
