Disappointing with a beautiful view.
When I originally booked I specifically asked about braai facilities. We did find a Webber outside to braai in, but it was full of old ash and other dirt that we had to clean ourselves first. There was also no proper table and chairs for outside use. The wire table under the tree is very low and both it and the plastic chairs were terribly dirty. It was also incredibly hot (it's January in South Africa!) and there were no fans or air conditioning in any of the rooms. The music kept us awake, with the result that we had to open the windows for cold air. There was also constant squabbling with the chickens that are everywhere. The fridge was also not switched on when we arrived; we had to look for the plug ourselves and then wait 30 minutes before we could use it. There was no bin in the kitchen, luckily we had rubbish bags in which we could throw our rubbish. We had severe power problems for the first day and night, and only after I called Nikki at 9:00 PM to find out what the problem was did she say: "Sorry, I probably should have told you about the transformer." We understand a lot about guests and accommodations, but this was definitely an experience I would not recommend to anyone.

Excellent accommodation.
Beautiful place and so peaceful. Bedding and towels are crisp clean and new. Very friendly reception and the owner, as well as Josh and Nikki communicated well with us via WhatsApp. Everything you are looking for is there. Can highly recommend the place.

Ons het heerlik gekuier - net jammer die TV is slegs Open View wat geen goeie kykstof bied nie.

We had a great time - just a shame the TV is only Open View which doesn't offer any good viewing material.
The location is beautiful with the lush green lawns and the view breathtaking. The house itself needs a little 'tender love and care'. The caretaker was very friendly and helpful.

Feeling at home.
We were warmly welcomed and immediately felt at home. Himeville had no water, but provisions were made by the owners to provide us with drinking and washing water.

Spacious, comfortable home that is well-equipped and well-kept.
Tim is a caring host and really provided just about everything you can think of. Coffee, tea, milk, rusks, cookies, fireplace. The 2 bedrooms are spacious and the beds comfortable. A good place for two pairs.

Peaceful accommodation with a beautiful view.
Was really comfortable to sleep at Rattray's Roost. The house is in a dead end street with little traffic and a beautiful view of the mountains. Tim and Dorkas were pleasant and friendly host and hostess. Will definitely stay over there if the opportunity arises. PS. Sorry Dorkas, we ate all your biscuits.
