Baie gerieflike gastehuis vir 'n vinnige oornag.

Ons het baie lekker gebly, 'n heerlike ruim kamer gehad. Ons het welkom gevoel, en ons gasheer het 'n heerlike aandete voorberei. Sy gasvryheid sal ons altyd bybly!

Tuis soos by die huis.

Alhoewel ons afwesige gaste was wat letterlik vir drie aande net daar oornag het, het ons baie tuis gevoel. Johan is 'n gawe gasheer wat hard werk om seker te maak die gaste is gemaklik. Dankie Johan vir drie heerlike nagte daar by jou. Mooi loop.

Definitief 'n unieke ervaring. Johann is 'n wonderlike en interessante gasheer.

As jy hier aankom, besef jy dadelik hierdie plek is anders. Die unieke styl van die huis is 'n welkom verandering na 'n lang rit. Dis 'n ondervinding om hier te wees. Elke hoekie het iets om na te kyk. Die kamers is skoon en slaap lekker. Kan vir niks meer vra nie. Die ontbyt was ook smaaklik en op tyd. Definitief 'n belewenis wat ek sal onthou en oorvertel.

Netjiese oornagplek.

Was teleurgestel dat ontbyt nie bedien is nie aangesien dit 'n vereiste met die neem van ons besluit was waar om oor te bly. Ons kon ook nie aandete kry soos ons versoek het nie en is na die plaaslike klubhuis, ongeveer 'n kilometer weg verwys, waar die keuse basies tot pizza (verskeie) beperk was. Die akkommodasie was egter netjies en skoon.

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.

Pragtige omgewing en interessante, skoon, gemaklike en mooi behuising.

Purple House is 'n baie oulike verbeeldingryke plekkie. Ons het 2 keer daar oorgeslaap. Kamers is baie interessanr, netjies en volledig ingerig. Ons het teëspoed met ons kar gehad oppad na ons bestemming en Johan het uit die pad gegaan om ons daarmee te help. Hy is vriendelik en behulpsaam en meer as bereid om die ekstra myl te loop. Sal definitief weer daar oorslaap en dit dit verseker aanbeveel.

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

Skoon, netjies en sentraal, aandagtige gasheer.

Johan is 'n aandagtige en vriendelike gasheer wat na jou enige benodigheid of vraag sal omsien. Het op 'n Sondagaand, wanneer alle restaurante toe was, vir ons 'n heerlike aandete gemaak en boonop gewys wat 'n talentvolle musikant hy is. Die kamers was ruim, skoon en baie gemaklik met goeie beddens en beddegoed.

Clean, tidy and central, attentive host.

Johan is an attentive and friendly host who will take care of your every need or question. Made us a delicious dinner on a Sunday night, when all the restaurants were closed, and showed what a talented musician he is. The rooms were spacious, clean and very comfortable with good beds and bedding.

Friendly, kind and salt of the earth owner. It was a happy experience.

The website picture is awesome, I think that Johan has a great venue. Could have a bit of extra cleaning done. The cottage we were in was the basic accommodation with some serious TLC it could be great.

Hi again Angela,
Thanks for the review! The cottage is my backpacker style accommodation and it is basic yes. I am intending to renovate it within the next few weeks. It was lovely hosting you and next time you come there will be good alterations done to the structure and new ceilings will be put in. Have a great year!

Very disappointing.

I was so looking forward to staying at this accommodation as it seems very quirky and "out-the-box" on their website. But alas. Cleanliness is a real issue.

Purple House B&B and Self catering 's response

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.

At least the rooms were neat and clean.

Neat just for sleeping to spend the night. General cleanliness falls far short.

'n Vriendelike en hartlike verwelkoming.

Smithfield is die dorpie waar ek grootgeword het. En met Johan se gasvryheid kon ek terugkeer na die huis waarin ek amper 56 jaar gelede gebly het. Wat 'n wonderlike ervaring vir my! Johan het 'n ongelooflike vermoë om jou tuis te laat voel met 'n koppie vars boeretroos. Dankie Johan, ons sal beslis weer by jou tuisgaan.

A friendly and warm welcome.

Smithfield is the town where I grew up. And with Johan's hospitality, I was able to return to the house in which I lived almost 56 years ago. What a great experience for me! Johan has an uncanny ability to make you feel at home with a cup of fresh peasant comfort. Thank you Johan, we will definitely stay with you again.

Dit was n heerlike ervaring. Pragtige omgewing en vriendelike mense.

Ons het in die Geco Cottage gebly. Gerieflik, skoon en privaat. johann het seker gemaak dat ons alles het wat nodig is om ons verblyf so lekker en gerieflik moontlik te maak. Hy het heelwat oor dorp en omgewing vertel asook my roete so laat beplan om ander besienswaardighede oppad nie miste loop nie. Baie dankie vir tuiste weg van die huis.

We stayed in the Geco Cottage. Comfortable, clean and private. johann made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible. He told me a lot about the town and surroundings as well as letting me plan my route so as not to miss other attractions on the way. Thank you so much for home away from home.
