Definitely a unique experience. Johann is a great and interesting host.
When you arrive here, you immediately realize this place is different. The unique style of the house is a welcome change after a long drive. It's an experience to be here. Every corner has something to look at. The rooms are clean and sleep well. Can't ask for anything more. The breakfast was also tasty and on time. Definitely an experience that I will remember and tell about.

Neat place to stay.
Was disappointed that breakfast was not served as it was a requirement when deciding where to stay. We also couldn't get dinner as we requested and were directed to the local clubhouse, about a kilometer away, where the choice was basically limited to pizza (various). However, the accommodation was neat and clean.

Purple House is a very cute and imaginative place. We slept there 2 times. Rooms are very interesting, neat and fully furnished. We had trouble with our car on the way to our destination and Johan went out of his way to help us with it. He is friendly and helpful and more than willing to go the extra mile. Will definitely stay there again and recommend it for sure.

Dankie vir die resensie. Dis jammer dat ek 'n konstruksie probleem gehad het in die bespreekte kothuis en dat ek julle alternatiewe akkommodasie moes aanbied. Verskoning daarvoor. Dis beter om alternatiewe voor te stel as om mense te laat bly erens wat nie heeltemal gerestoreer is nie. Terwyl die alternatiewe kothuis nie lugreëling en Wi-Fi het nie, is daar ander positiewe wat op maak vir dit. Johann

Hi Verushka,
We are surprised by your review especially as we asked you, in the morning as we ask all our guests if you feel that there is anything that I need to do to improve my place. Your answer was that everything was great. We do appreciate you staying over with us and we look forward to welcoming you back.
