Kamer in huis, deel huis met gasvrou. Was lekker.

Die plek om te bly as jul net 2 of minder is en goed met mense en diere oor die weg kom. Ons het maklik aanklank gevind met gasvrou en sal weer daar slaap. Tuinpaadjies en stoep met uitsig, stapafstand van alles in dorp.

Room in house, share house with hostess. Was nice.

The place to stay if you are only 2 or less and get along well with people and animals. We easily resonated with the hostess and will stay there again. Garden paths and porch with view, walking distance to everything in town.

Gesellige kamer in die hoofhuis.

Die kamer is pragtig uitgerus en ek het heerlik oorgeslaap. Die eienares is baie bedagsaam en ek het glad nie gevoel ons is in mekaar se spasie nie. Een ding: ek het 'n haardroër gemis. Verder, net goed en lekker.

Cozy room in the main house.

The room is beautifully rested and I had a great night's sleep. The owner is very considerate and I didn't feel like we were in each other's space at all. One thing: I missed a hair dryer. Other than that, just good and tasty.

Met 'n warm hart verwelkom deur Karen en haar vierpotige huisgenote.

Ten spyte van geen water op daardie stadium in die dorp nie het ons nog steeds die verblyf geniet. Sterre in die donkere nag. Die mooie berge waarop jy uitkyk terwyl jy op die stoep sit en 'n geurige ontbyt met tuisgebakte brood warm en vars uit die oond bedien word. Sal verblyf definitief aanbeveel.

Welcomed with an open heart by Karen and her four-footed housemates.

In spite of the lack of water at that point, we still enjoyed the stay. Stars in the dark night sky. the beautiful mountains you look upon whilst relaxing on the stoep and a flavourful breakfast with warm, fresh home-baked bread. Would definitely recommend this place.
