Sou lekker wees om nog 'n nag of 2 te spandeer.

Baie lekker gebly. Skoon, netjies. Badkamer net bietjie donker. Beligting kan bietjie beter gemaak word.

Aangename verblyf.

Vriendelike ontvangs. Netjiese, ruim kamer en badgeriewe. Kwaliteit linne en beddegoed. Ek verkies 'n lugtige vertrek - oopmaak van vensters 'n risiko. Geen sifdraad om insekte uit te hou of diefwering voor vensters nie.

Pleasant stay.

Friendly reception. Neat, spacious room and bath facilities. Quality linen and bedding. I prefer an airy room - opening windows a risk. No screen wire to keep insects out or burglar bars in front of windows.

Netjies

Dit was lekker, sal net graag wil hê hulle moet kyk na kussings. Almal slaap nie op dik, harde kussings nie, hulle kan dalk 2x hard en 2x sag op elke bed sit. Ek sal ook voorstel dat julle 'n opsie gee waar jy kan kies of jy ontbyt gaan wil inreken by jou verblyf of nie. Dis nie ingesluit by jou verblyf nie. Dit word geadverteer as 'n bed en ontbyt. Maar mens moet bespreek en ekstra betaal.

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

Tidy

It was nice, just would like them to look into pillows. Not everyone sleeps on thick, hard pillows, they may sit 2x hard and 2x soft on each bed. I would also suggest that you give an option where you can choose whether you want to include breakfast in your stay or not. It's not included in your stay. It is advertised as a bed and breakfast. But one has to book and pay extra.

Good day Sarita,
Thank you for the feedback.
Regarding breakfast, when you book on LekkeSlaap, you would need to indicate to the travel agent that you want to book Bed and Breakfast, as they handle the booking. Alternatively, you are also welcome to book directly with us.
Kind regards

Notwithstanding the date blunder, I changed my booking twice more with Purple Gecko, and every time they were accommodating and courteous. Rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. Purple Gecko is an oasis in an otherwise barren town.

Netjies en baie potensiaal.

Dis 'n pragtige plek met soveel opsies. Ons was wel teleurgesteld omrede daar nie 'n opsie gegee was vir ontbyt of aangebied is toe ons navraag gedoen het nie. Die booking was ook gedoen vir 'n koninggrootte-bed maar het 'n dubbelbed gehad. Andersins 'n baie oulike plekkie met 'n ruim kamer.

Neat and lots of potential.

It's a beautiful place with so many options. We were disappointed because no option was given or offered for breakfast when we enquired. The booking was also made for a king-size bed but had a double bed. Otherwise a very cute place with a spacious room.

Baie aangename ervaring. Die personeel is ongelooflik behulpsaam en baie gasvry.

Die enigste negatiewe kritiek is dat die DStv nie die sportkanaal bevat nie. Miskien nie in almal se smaak/verwagting tydens vakansie nie, maar wel iets wat ek wel verwag.

Very pleasant experience. The staff are incredibly helpful and very hospitable.

The only negative criticism is that the DStv does not contain the sports channel. Maybe not to everyone's taste/expectation during vacation, but something I do expect.
