Was heerlik om daar te kuier.

Swallow, die eenheid waarin ons tuis gegaan het, was uiters netjies en skoon. Ons was aangenaam verras. Alle nodige geriewe is daar. Het heerlik gebraai op 'n netjiese braaier in (ons) eie braai area. Roxy was baie behulpsaam en gasvry.

Ons het heel lekker gebly. Was net baie warm, geadverteer dat dit lugversorging het, maar die eenheid vir 3 vertrekke kon nie koel maak nie. WiFi het ook nie gewerk soos geadverteer nie. Gasvrou was baie vriendelik, en kamers was skoon.

Nie die beste ondervinding nie.

Ek was glad nie beīndruk nie. Die webtuiste is misleidend en moet opgedateer word. Daar is geen WiFi nie en ek moes 'n webinar mis agv daarvan. Ek het agv die fotos op die webtuiste vir Rose Cottage bespreek, maar is in 'n ander eenheid geplaas. Die lugreëlings-eenheid is bokant die badkamerdeur en was uiters oneffektief om enige van die ander kamers af te koel. Daar was ander tekortkomings soos los krane, die kettingkie wat die waaier en lig in die een slaapkamer aan- en afskakel, is onbereikbaar hoog, en die badkamerspieël is geplaas vir enigeen wat langer as 1.9 m is. Die fotos van die tuin en buitegeriewe is ook nie meer 'n weerspieëling van hoe dit werklik lyk nie. Ek het my bespreking van Gariep Inn na Rose Cottage verander en was teleurgesteld in my besluit.

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

Not the best experience.

I was not impressed at all. The website is misleading and needs to be updated. There is no WiFi and I had to miss a webinar because of it. I booked Rose Cottage due to the photos on the website, but was placed in a different unit. The air conditioning unit is above the bathroom door and was extremely ineffective in cooling any of the other rooms. There were other shortcomings such as loose taps, the chain that turns the fan and light on and off in one bedroom is unreachably high, and the bathroom mirror is placed for anyone taller than 1.9m. The photos of the garden and outdoor facilities are also no longer a reflection of how it really looks. I changed my booking from Gariep Inn to Rose Cottage and was disappointed in my decision.

Was 'n oornag slaapplek, sal ongelukkig nie weer gebruik nie.

Eenheid was skoon en netjies, het veilig gevoel met motor agter hek. Aan die ander kant, warm water, dun mure is baie ongerieflik. Om die kombuiskraan onbepaald te laat loop totdat die water warm uitloop voordat mens die stort se warm kraan oopdraai, is nie aanvaarbaar in 'n dorp wat voorkom of daar erg droogte is nie. Wasbakkie in kombuis ongelooflik klein, baie moeilik om 'n stukkie skottelgoed te was. Geen elektriese ketel, ons moes ketel op stoofplaat kook. Gasplaat teenwoordig, geen aanwysings, vuurhoutjies hoe om dit te gebruik nie. Sigaretrook het van iewers in ons eenheid ingesluip, nie aangenaam nie. Mure ontsettend dun, hoor elke woord, klank van aangrensende eenheid.

Was an overnight stay, unfortunately will not use again.

Unit was clean and tidy, felt safe with car behind gate. On the other hand, hot water, thin walls are very inconvenient. Running the kitchen tap indefinitely until the water runs out hot before turning on the shower's hot tap is not acceptable in a town that appears to be experiencing severe drought. Sink in kitchen incredibly small, very difficult to wash a piece of dishes. No electric kettle, we had to cook kettle on stove top. Gas plate present, no directions, matches how to use it. Cigarette smoke was creeping into our unit from somewhere, not pleasant. Walls terrifyingly thin, hear every word, sound from adjacent unit.

Unit not well maintained. Just a bad experience. Not worth the money paid.

Awful. Aircon remote did not work. Warm blanket on one side of double bed not working. Due to solar heating, there was no hot water to shower on our arrival or the next morning before we left. Washbasin tap only has water when turned to one side. When turned to the other side, there was no water from the tap. We were told that everything is operational, and being such cold weather on our arrival, it was very unpleasant to stay over.

Rose Cottage 's response

Good day, Elsa

Thank you for letting us know. I can confirm that all problems regarding the hot water have been sorted out. We have also replaced the electric blanket on the bed. My sincere apologies.

Baie oulike plekkie.

Ons het baie lekker oornag daar. Lekker skoon en ruim plek en veilig. Ons was vriendelik verwelkom. Die enigste probleem was dat die mure dun is en mens kan die persoon langs jou se televisie hoor speel. Verder was dit regtig 'n baie oulike plek vir oornag vir ons gesin.

Yes. Makes for a quick stopover.

The cottage I was in could do with the adjustment of the electric stove. Not only too high, it was too close to the kitchen cupboard and might be a fire hazard if not attended.

Dit was geweldig warm, maar die kamer het lugreeling en dit het goed gewerk. Daar is ook 'n swembad vir gaste. Werklik 'n goeie plekkie om tussen Gauteng en die Wes-Kaap te oornag.

Vriendelike ontvags deur Liesl.

Die eenheid was skoon en netjies, maar ons was nie heeltemal gelukkig met die braai-area nie, asook die ligging van die plek nie. Ons bespreking was vir eenheid "Rooibekkie", maar met aankoms is ons in eenheid "Albatros" ingeboek, en hierdie eenheid word nie op die website geadverteer nie. Nie wat ons verwag het nie. Met navraag het die gasvrou aangebied om ons te skuif, maar ons was reeds uitgepak, en het dit van die hand gewys.

Our reservation was for unit "Rooibekkie", but upon arrival we were booked into unit "Albatross", and this unit is not advertised on the website. Not what we expected. Upon enquiry, the hostess offered to move us, but we were already unpacked, and declined.

Skoon en billik geprijsde akkommodasie.

Die huise wat ons benut het, naamlik Flamingo en Suikerbekkie, is opgeknapte konstruksiehuise wat dateer van die tyd toe die dam gebou was, maar is goed opgeknap en gemoderniseer. Dis net jammer dat Suikerbekkie se hoof en-suite slaapkamer geen vensters het nie, en die gangdeur moet dus heeltyd oopstaan om vars lug daarin te kry.

Clean and reasonably priced accommodation.

The houses we used, namely Flamingo and Suikerbekkie, are renovated construction houses that date from the time when the dam was built, but have been well renovated and modernized. It's just a shame that Suikerbekkie's main en-suite bedroom has no windows, and the hallway door therefore has to be open all the time to get fresh air in.

Ek sal dit aanbeveel, afhangende van wie. Die plek is maar bietjie verwaarloos buite. Daar is geen warm water by die wasbak se kraan nie.

It served the purpose.

I would recommend it depending on who. The place is a little neglected outside. There is no hot water at the sink faucet.

Overnight on the way back from the Cape.

We stayed here for the night, our host was very helpful and friendly, unfortunately the unit was dirty, the previous customers hair was still in the bathroom and even though the place says no smoking we had a stub in the living room under the coffee table found.

Fair, not fantastic.

We had a nice stay to a certain extent but we would not be able to recommend the specific room. Too many small things that were faulty and need attention.

Ongemaklik omdat kamers nie klankdig is nie.

Kamers nie klankdig nie. Hoor elke woord en beweging selfs as hulle stort. Die gaste was regtig nie 'loud' nie. Hulle het rustig gekuier, maar dit het gevoel asof hulle net langs ons is.

Ek het Rose Cottage gekies omdat hulle dit adverteer as een van die eenhede met WiFi.

Met ons aankoms moes ons vra daarvoor, toe word ons ingelig dat daar glad nie WiFi is nie. Ons aircon het nie gewerk nie, toe maak ons die afstandsbeheer reg en sit hom aan. Ons het 'n rukkie gaan ry sodat die eenheid kon afkoel, en toe ons terugkom het iemand 'n sleutel gehad en in ons eenheid ingegaan en die lugverkoeling afgesit. Ons vermoed daar was met ons afstandsbeheer geteer voor ons aangekom het.

I chose Rose Cottage because they advertise it as one of the units with WiFi.

When we arrived we had to ask for it, then we were informed that there was no WiFi at all. Our aircon didn't work, so we fixed the remote control and turned it on. We drove for a while so the unit could cool down, and when we got back someone had a key and went into our unit and turned off the air conditioning. We suspect our remote control was tampered with before we arrived.

Baie aangenaam en rustig tot ons wou gaan stort het.

Die warmwater stelsel moes van sonkrag na krag toe oorgeskakel word sodat daar warm water kon wees om te stort. Die gasvrou was fluks om hiermee te help nadat ons haar gebel het.

Kort.

Het goed geslaap, en verblyf was netjies. 'n Multiplug in die kombuis kan help, en 'n emmer in die badkamer on nat badmatjies in te gooi, met ekstra matte aangesien die stort baie mors. Die warm- en kouewaterstelsel van die stort moet dalk eerder fisies gewys word.

Short.

Slept well, and accommodation was neat. A multiplug in the kitchen can help, and a bucket in the bathroom to throw in wet bath mats, with extra mats as the shower spills a lot. The hot and cold water system of the shower may need to be physically shown instead.

Baie dankie vir die mooi review, ons is in die proses om elektriese gyesers ook in te sit, aangesien die son nie warm genoeg is die winter om die sonpanele - gyeser warm te maak nie.
Die installasie behoort binne die volgende 2x weke aghehandel te wees.
Hoop ons sien julle weer in die toekoms
Vriendelike SunRose Guesthouse Groete

Owner was very polite and welcoming. Cottage and linen was clean and comfortable.

Unfortunately, the microwave oven did not work. We had specially bought 2 microwave meals for dinner because we knew there was no reliable restaurant in Gariep. There was a stove hob but we couldn't use it, even if we wanted to, because it has a cupboard just above it. The faulty microwave oven was the biggest negative factor for us.

Rose Cottage 's response

Dear Gillian, so sorry to hear that the microwave did not work. Please call me in future, as I am on call 24/7. We do hold the comfort of our guests in high regard. I do carry stock of all appliances, and I could have changed the microwave in mere minutes. The microwave have been tested, and I am happy to report that it is working well again. Hope to see you again. Kind Regards,

Skoon eenheid.

Die info op die webtuiste oor die eenheid is nie 'n weerspieëling van die info wat jy van die gastehuis kry nie: Die inligtingstuk wat die gastehuis aanstuur is baie aanvallend met heeltemal te veel uitroeptekens. Daar is nêrens op die webblad info oor die gladde teëls in die wooneenheid of dat die eenheid nie geskik is vir gestremde persone nie.

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

Clean unit.

The info on the website about the unit is not a reflection of the info you get from the guest house: The information sheet that the guest house sends is very offensive with far too many exclamation marks. There is no information anywhere on the web page about the smooth tiles in the residential unit or that the unit is not suitable for disabled persons.

Nothing pretty about this place. Buildings look like those asbestos-type construction offices.

We were told we can book in anytime before 9pm. We got there at about 7, and the manager met us at the petrol station so we could follow him to the venue. His wife (I think) showed us the room, but they seemed in a big hurry to go somewhere. Would have liked to have seen the pool. Some broken kitchen furniture in the courtyard, and the bedroom had a large deepfreeze in it - put there for storage purposes. Looked completely out of place. Other guests were equally disappointed with this venue.

Very difficult to find.

Do not use the Google maps location as it is wrong. Also, the directions supplied are from an unknown airport, contain very few distances and refer to street names that are not visible so are effectively useless. The only way you can find this place is by a pin drop sent by the owner, so only book here if you have access to lots of data and a fully-charged phone. The owner really should fix the location on Google maps - it's not brain surgery.

Sal ongelukkig nie sommer weer daar bly nie.

Absolute absurd prys betaal vir een aand, waarde vir geld is regtig nie die moeite werd nie. Die stort se temperature wissel verskriklik, het vir meer as 30 min gesukkel om temperatuur draagbaar te kry - na 'n lang ry is dit die laaste ding wat mens mee wil sukkel. Het opgeëindig om my baba in die sink te bad. Die storthanddoeke is bitter klein. Die mure is nie klankdig nie, kan alles hoor van die mense langsaan. Toe my man die plek se babakot opslaan is hy geskeur, ons kon hom nie gebruik nie. Vir die prys wat ons betaal het sal ons ten minste meer verwag, oorweeg dalk breakfast insluit of iets, want regtigwaar ons sukkel om die waarde in te sien vir die prys, of laat val die prys heelwat. Behalwe vir al die - Johan was wonderlik, behulpsaam, vriendelik en het ons als gewys wat ons moes weet. Dankie Johan vir jou moeite om ons te wys wa die plek is ens.

Translate to English.

Will not stay there again unfortunately.

Absolute absurd price paid for one night, value for money really not worth it. The shower's temperatures vary terribly, struggled for over 30 min to get the temperature bearable - after a long queue it's the last thing you want to struggle with. Ended up bathing my baby in the sink. The shower towels are very small. The walls are not soundproof, can hear everything from the people next door. When my husband set up the place's baby cot he was torn, we couldn't use him. For the price we paid we would at least expect more, maybe consider including breakfast or something, because really we struggle to see the value for the price, let alone the price. Besides all that - Johan was wonderful, helpful, friendly and showed us everything we needed to know. Thank you Johan for your effort in showing us what the place is etc.

Paid R2000 for a room. Aircon not working. No opening windows. Parking bad.

The room was clean. Linen was good. Bed OK. Decor is terrible. Hot and stuffy prefab house. Fine for a sleepover but very, very, very over priced for what it is. Worth more like R500 if that.

Aircon now fixed.
We have had some burglary from this unit when not occupied and had to resort to sealing the windows, they have now got burglar bars and are open again.

Lekker oornag by Rose Cottage

Die eienaar en ek was in kontak met mekaar terwyl ons op pad was. Hy het my by die vulstasie ontmoet en my na die eenheid geneem. Geen gesoek of verdwaal. Ek het ook 'n versoek gerig om my datum aan te skuif en die verandering het glad verlop. Die eenheid was skoon en netjies met alles wat mens nodig het. Lekker gebly en geslaap.

Goeie oornagverblyf.

Ons is baie gaaf ontvang. Die bestuurder van Rose Cottage het ons by die motorhawe kom haal, hy was bang ons verdwaal. Die inboek het seepglad verloop. Ons het heerlik oorgebly. Daar was alles wat 'n mens nodig het. Een negatiewe punt is dat die teëls in die stort ontsettend glad is. Miskien kan Rose Cottage ietsie skurf oor die teëls plak.

We were received very kindly. The manager of Rose Cottage came to pick us up at the car port, he was afraid we would get lost. The check-in went smoothly. We had a wonderful stay. There was everything one needs. One negative point is that the tiles in the shower are awfully slippery. Maybe Rose Cottage could put some scab over the tiles.

Baie lekker kuier in 'n baie mooi plekkie.

Dis 'n jammerte dat ons net een aand daar kon aanbly. Ek wens ons kon langer bly. Volgende keer sal ons beslis vir langer bly. Baie lekker plekkie.

Waarde vir geld tussen Gauteng en die Kaap.

Eintlik is Rose Cottage 'n straat vol voorafvervaardigde huise, wat pragtig opgeknap is. Dit lyk doelgemaak vir toeriste wat net een nag se slaapplek tussen die Kaap en Gauteng soek. Veral met die afslag via die webtuiste se lojaliteitsprogram was dit baie goeie waarde vir geld. Die bestuurder was ook uiters professioneel en akkommoderend, al het ons nagelaat om haar voor die tyd te kontak. Die lugversorgers in die kamers was baie welkom, want dis maklik baie warm in die somer.

Value for money between Gauteng and the Cape.

Actually, Rose Cottage is a street full of prefabricated houses, which have been beautifully renovated. It seems purpose-built for tourists looking for just one night's accommodation between the Cape and Gauteng. Especially with the discount via the website's loyalty program it was very good value for money. The manager was also extremely professional and accommodating, even though we neglected to contact her ahead of time. The air conditioners in the rooms were very welcome, because it is easily very hot in the summer.

Gemaklik. Basies. Vriendelik.

Was 'n oulike plek, maar die prys in vergelyking met ander verblyf wat baie meer bied is bietjie duur in my opinie. Die foto's laat dit ook blyk asof dit een perseel is, maar dis twee en die swembad op die foto's is nie by van die eenhede beskikbaar nie. Die muur is ook glad nie klankdig nie en het ons gesukkel om te slaap deur die ander reisigers se gesprekke te hoor deur ons mure. Verder was dit lekker ruim en netjies. Daar was ook geen TV in ons kamer.

Comfortable. Basic. Friendly.

Was a nice place, but the price compared to other accommodations that offer much more is a bit expensive in my opinion. The photos also make it appear as if it is one site, but it is two and the pool in the photos is not available at some of the units. The wall is also not soundproof at all and we had trouble sleeping by hearing the other travelers' conversations through our walls. Furthermore, it was nice and spacious and tidy. There was also no TV in our room.

Ons sal nie weer daar oornag nie.

Ons ry al die pad van Mosselbaai in die middel van die somer deur die warm Karoo. Kom by gastehuis aan. Die dame sê vir ons “Jammer maar julle eenheid se lugversorging is stukkend”. Die plek is soos 'n oond. Die dakwaaier raas met 'n klap-klap-geluid dat ons hom nie kon gebruik nie.

Hi Petro
We had 7 aircons pack up on us in one week, all these split level ones.
I was at Gariep Dam last weekend and have replaced all the aircons with the more efficient free standing ones. Problem now solved.
Our apology, I know how hot it can get there in summer.
The roof fans all have a certain drone to them.

Aanvaarbaar en lekker.

Redelike uitdagings met parkering, spasie is onvoldoende. Moeilik om gaste wat gestrem is, op hul eie vanaf parkeer area na woonplek te beweeg, weens die hoogte van die randsteen. Die hoofslaapkamer badkamer, beskik oor geen venster en of toegang na natuurlike lig, alhoewel die badkamer beskik oor 'n extractor. Dis altyd donker, veral met kragonderbrekings. Elektriese ligte moet voortdurend aan bly. Skep 'n gesondheids-hazard. DStv ontbreek. WiFi nie beskikbaar.

Acceptable and delicious.

Reasonable challenges with parking, space is insufficient. Difficulty for disabled guests to move from parking area to residence on their own due to the height of the curb. The master bedroom bathroom has no window or access to natural light, although the bathroom has an extractor. It's always dark, especially with power outages. Electric lights must remain on continuously. Create a health hazard. DStv is missing. WiFi not available.

Aangename, bekostigbare verblyf.

Bekostigbare verblyf met 'n baie gawe gasvrou wat uit haar pad gegaan het om ons te help. Die probleempies wat ons ondervind het sluit die volgende in: Die dakwaaiers in die slaapkamers het nie behoorlik gewerk nie. Die lugversorger se afstandbeheer was buite werking. Die warm water vat hopeloos te lank om die krane te bereik, en wat mens aan elektrisiteit bespaar, verloor jy op water. Ons land is juis arm aan water. Die badkamer het geen venster gehad nie! Dit is totaal onaanvaarbaar!

Pleasant, affordable accommodation.

Affordable accommodation with a very nice hostess who went out of her way to help us. The little problems we encountered included the following: The ceiling fans in the bedrooms did not work properly. The air conditioner's remote control was out of order. The hot water takes hopelessly too long to reach the taps, and what you save on electricity, you lose on water. Our country is poor in water. The bathroom had no window! This is totally unacceptable!

Very clean accommodation although location was not great.

The cottage itself was very comfortable with electric blankets and was kept in a good condition. It was affordable and comfortable for an overnight stay although we did have the unfortunate experience of having arrived with no electricity in the area or cold water, which meant we could not shower after a long trip which was not great. It was fixed the next morning. If it had not been for this, then the stay would have been more pleasant.

Gemiddeld.

Dit wat jy op die webwerf sien is alles behalwe wat ons gekry het. Daar was nie bedvalle om een van die beddens nie, dus net skoon duvet en beddegoed maar slordig sonder 'n bedekking om die bedbasisse. Die swembad, skuus, gaatjie, die ander swembad glad nie in sig, weet nie of daar dalk nog 'n ander perseel is as die een waar ons tuisgegaan het nie, met gebreekte teels en sitplekke vol spinnerakke, glad nie aan te beveel nie. Daar is geen veilige omheinings nie, een ingang is heeltemaal oop. Daar was miere in die een kamer se beddegoed en het die volgende oggend die hele wooneenheid oorgeneem oral waar daar krummels rondgelê het. Ek sal aanbeveel dat daar insekdoders en muskietweerders beskikbaar is. Verder kan ek nie kla nie. Ons is vriendelik ontvang, maar ek sê weereens dat dit wat mens op die blad gesien het en daar waar ons tuisgegaan het regtig vir my misleidend was. Ek gaan gereeld tuis en maak gereeld gebruik van die webtuiste maar ek was die keer teleurgesteld.

Average.

What you see on the website is anything but what we got. There were no bedfalls around one of the beds, so just clean duvet and bedding but untidy with no covering around the bed bases. The pool, shelter, hole, the other pool not in sight at all, don't know if there might be another site than the one where we stayed, with broken tiles and seats full of cobwebs, not recommended at all. There are no secure enclosures, one entrance is completely open. There were ants in the bedding in one room and the next morning they took over the whole apartment wherever there were crumbs lying around. I would recommend having insecticides and mosquito repellents available. Other than that, I can't complain. We were kindly received, but I say again that what you saw on the page and where we went home was really misleading for me. I go home often and use the website often but I was disappointed this time.

Ons het die cottage as oornagfasiliteit gebruik.

Die Cottage is baie netjies, skoon en goed toegerus. Die foto is baie misleidend in terme van ligging. Ek het meer verwag vir die prys per nag. Die sekuriteit is baie swak. 'n Klein pad-lock op 'n hek sonder behoorlike omheining. Ek het fietse op 'n fietsrak vervoer en was baie bekommerd oor die veiligheid daarvan. Dit sou ook beter wees as daar nie van die eienaar se persoonlike foto's oral vertoon word nie.

The Cottage is very neat, clean and well equipped. The photo is very misleading in terms of location. I expected more for the price per night. The security is very poor.

Baie mooi skoon en netjies. Gasvryheid van eienaar baie aangenaam.

Plek is skoon en netjies en goed ingerig. Die aircon het ongelukkig nie gewerk nie, maar dit was buite die beheer van die eienaar. Geen klagtes oor die diens nie. Die krag het op 'n stadium uitgeskop en die eienaar het die onmiddelik kom reg maak. Puik diens.

Stil omgewing.

Plek was skoon, behalwe vir die 2 spinnekoppies wat verward op ons laken rondgehardloop het toe ek die duvet ooptrek. En dan sal dit goed wees as die gaste gevra word om as hulle na donker beweeg asb. die hek toe te maak. Ons het heelnag met die hek oopgeslaap, want die mense wat laaste ingekom het, het dit oopgelos en ons was alreeds in die bed. Lugreëlaar (sonder remote) is in die gang, ver van die hoofslaapkamer af.

Quiet environment.

Place was clean, except for the 2 spiders that ran around confused on our sheet when I opened the duvet. And then it would be good if the guests were asked to please if they move after dark. to close the gate. We slept with the gate open all night because the people who came in last left it open and we were already in bed. Air conditioner (without remote) is in the hallway, far from the master bedroom.

Op pad na Kaapstad is hierdie gastehuis 'n goeie oornagstop. Dis baie warm gedurende Desember, en sou dit lekker gewees het as die airconditioner gewerk het. Maar ek verstaan dat die tegnikus op vakansie was.

Oorslaap op pad see toe.

Beddegoed en res was skoon. Waterpypstelsel is "tricky" - die stort se warm en kouewaterkombinasie moet versigtig hanteer word. As jy die toilet spoel, loop water uit die kombuiskraan (hoe)?. As jy die woonkamer se lig wil afsit, bly dit aan, maak nie saak watter kant die skakelaar staan nie (ons het die gloeilampie effe uitgedraai om dit af te kry). Dit kan 'n goeie idee wees om 'n papiertjie in die eenheid te los waarop gaste notas kan maak oor goed wat krap. Vir net 'n oorslaap, was dit egter heel OK.

Overnight on the way to the sea.

Bedding and rest were clean. Plumbing is "tricky" - the shower's hot and cold water combination must be handled carefully. When you flush the toilet, water runs out of the kitchen faucet (how)?. If you want to turn off the living room light, it stays on no matter which way the switch is turned (we turned the light bulb out a bit to get it off). It might be a good idea to leave a piece of paper in the unit where guests can make notes about things that scratch. However, for just a sleepover, it was quite OK.

Indien dit net vir oornag is beveel ek dit aan. Indien dit vir langer is, is dit effe ongerieflik.

Ons was in Hammerkop-eenheid. Dis eerder bedoel vir 4 volwassenes en 2 kinders. Nie geskik vir 6 volwassenes nie. Die eenheid beskik oor 'n buitetafel, wat dit ongerieflik maak as dit koud is, die wind waai (wat dikwels is) of as dit reën. Die badkamer kort definitief aandag. Stoele op die stoep kort ook aandag en daar is net 2.

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

If it's just for overnight I recommend it. If it is for longer, it is slightly inconvenient.

We were in Hammerkop unit. Rather, it is intended for 4 adults and 2 children. Not suitable for 6 adults. The unit has an outside table, which makes it inconvenient when it's cold, windy (which is often) or when it's raining. The bathroom definitely needs attention. Chairs on the porch also need attention and there are only 2.

Reg vir slegs oornag.

Te duur vir wat mens kry. Gee aandag aan die volgende: Geen ventilasie in die badkamer. Baie beknop - te veel meubels vir klein leefarea. Moeilik om yskas te gebruik. Nie geskik vir selfsorg aangesien kombuis baie klein is en daar slegs klein wasbakkie is. Moeilik om kos voor te berei en skottelgoed te was.

We were treated well. The facilities were very clean and neatly presented.

The problem is the location! The walls of the unit are very thin and noises from the neighboring rooms are heard all the time. There was a taxi parked in the parking garage and it was quite apparent that at least two people slept in the taxi overnight. This gives you some idea what the establishment is like!

We were kindly received. Costs were also very high for us for what we got compared to our other 2 places that we also booked through the website.

The pool is a plus! But - the whole setup felt patchy to us. Rose Cottage was also the only accommodation of the 3 that required the full amount on booking. Not even a 50% deposit and then to pay the rest on arrival. The other 2 were much nicer, better appointed, more up to standard.

We were very satisfied with the accommodation. It was clean, spacious and neat and we had secure parking for all our vehicles. Rose Cottage is situated close to restaurants and shops and although there is no view of the dam, the neighbourhood is peaceful and quiet and it's a short drive to see the dam and its surrounds. Due to the solar geyser, you have to let the shower water run for quite some time, but when it heats up you are sure to have a steaming hot bath or shower. Thank you, we had a lovely stay!

Lovely cottage nestled in Gariep Dam village.

The proprietor met us at the local petrol station to show us the way to the cottage which was very kind and much appreciated as we arrived after dark and would never have found the place on our own. The cottage was clean and well equipped. The beds were extremely comfortable. The premises uses solar geysers so be warned you may end up with a very cold shower if the weather has been cloudy or if you have inconsiderate neighbour guests who use up all the hot water before you get a chance to shower.

Value for money overnight stop for a large group.

We were a group of 5 adults and 2 children (one being under 2 years old). Johan and his wife were great hosts and we were warmly received. The first cottage we stayed in could sleep the lot of us, but there are two sleeper couches in the lounge, one being very uncomfortable as the mattress is quite thin. Also, the sleeper couches do not have electric blankets and as the area is large and open plan the small heater that was there made no difference to the temperature. It was very cold in the lounge. On our second stay we were split into two cottages which was great and our stay was wonderfully comfortable. Note that the geysers are solar so if too much hot water is used at night, there is no hot water the next morning.

Ideal for a sleep over with everything required for a comfortable stay.

We were welcomed by Johan who went out of his way to even meet us at a nearby petrol station and escorted us to the guesthouse. We were then introduced to a very nice and clean unit, comfortable for two guests. Also approximately a 5 minute drive to the dam wall which was also a wonderful experience. Will definitively be considered on a next trip again.

Uiters netjies en goed teogerus.

Eenheid was uiters netjies en werklik baie goed toegerus. Daar is meer as voldoende eetgerei met toerusting om enige maaltyd mee te maak. Dis baie gerieflik met 'n braaier, klein lapa en swembad alles bymekaar.

Nie geskik vir 4 volwassenes nie.

Ons het gevind dat vier volwassenes nie bymekaar kon verbykom nie. Het 'n kamer versoek met enkelbeddens vir volwassenes wat nie familie is nie. Beddens so styf teen mekaar dat een op bank in sithoekie gaan slaap het. Nietemin baie netjies, skoon en vriendelike ontvangs.

Not suitable for 4 adults.

We found that four adults could not pass together. Requested a room with single beds for non-relative adults. Beds so tight against each other that one went to sleep on the sofa in the sitting area. Nevertheless, very neat, clean and friendly reception.

Ja Jannes,
So is dit maar met solar geysers in die winter. Voor ek solar geysers in al my eenhede ingesit het, was ons Eskom krag rekening so hoog dat ek 'n besluit moes maak. Sluit al my gastehuise oor skakel oor na solar. Mens moet maar verstaan, in die winter het jy 'n keuse on of in die aand, of in die oggend warm water te hê.
Jammer vir die ongerief, maar dit gaan maar so bly so lank as ek die gastehuise besit.
Hoop ons sien jou weer.

Rose Cottage 's response

Hi Joey
The photos on TravelGround and LekkeSlaap have been checked, re-checked and checked again and again and they bear a true reflection of the unit you have booked. I therefore cannot see why they would be misleading. You need to be more specific, tell me what photo you feel is misleading and I would then be able to give you an answer.
I am the owner and I can't recall speaking to you in terms of the security of the unit. We are not JHB and don't have high fences and all the security of larger cities, such are the homes and guest houses in the "platteland"
I am pleased you found the unit to be neat.
You are always welcome back.

Vereiste voldoen.

Baie behupsaam. Baie betrokkenheid vanaf diensverskaffers. Ek is deurlopend op hoogte gehou en het inligting ontvang van hoe om vanaf N1 my verblyf gerieflik en gemaklik te laat plaasvind. Volledige begeleiding en instruksies is op 'n logiese en verstaanbare wyse oorgedra en 'n netjiese, skoon eenheid het my ingewag. Na 'n rustige nag kon ek my reis die volgende oggend voortsit.

Good day K

When I get a review like yours, I like to investigate and report back to you.
We have been very careful about photos that we display of our units and constantly monitor and update them. One of my staff members, Karen, will contact you personally and ask you where you found this misleading photo's

We have just replaced all our DStv EasyView decoders across all our guest houses, with the HD OpenView decoders. We find they have better movie channels as well as better news and sports channels and they are forever being upgraded and new channels added.

We will have a peek on our website listing and ensure that this is rectified.
We will revert back to you shortly.

Te duur.

Netjies, maar klein. Woord "cottages" is verwarrend. Daar is geen cottage. Dit is 'n ou huis wat in 3 eenhede verdeel is. Geen muur tussen eenhede, net 'n houtkas. Kon als hoor wat bure doen. Prys net vir bed, is te veel gevra. Is ook vêr van die dam geleë.

Too expensive.

Neat, but small. Word "cottages" is confusing. There is no cottage. It is an old house divided into 3 units. No wall between units, just a wooden box. Could hear what neighbors were doing. Price just for bed, is asking too much. Is also located far from the dam.

Rose Cottage 's response

Hi Odelia,
You were in our Rooibekkie unit in the Rose Cottage complex. The name Rose Cottage was carried over from a small house that I bought in 1994 and later sold.
We planted 18 long stem ice white roses when I moved from the old house to this new premises and these roses were stunning and reflected somewhat validation to the name.
However, with the extreme drought and water restrictions in 2017/18 and the current heat wave, these roses have mostly died and have left me in a rather embarrassing position in terms of the name of the complex.
I don't really want to change the name so I will need to re-visit the planting of more roses and hopefully restore the complex to its former beauty.
This is the worst drought and heat wave that I have ever seen and it is taking its toll on all the gardens in the Gariep Dam Village.
Hope it rains soon.
I will investigate and see if I can do something about making the Rooibekkie unit more sound proof.
Hope to see you again.
Kind regards,
Robin

Very disappointing and not at all what I expected from the information.

There was barely enough water for one person to shower. The pool was grass green. The shower door was broken. The garden was very dirty and full of rotten fruit. The area outside was so small that one felt uncomfortable. The rules they sent were four pages long and I wasn't aware of them at all ahead of time. Also, after we asked for the Rose Cottage, they moved us to another unit which was not what I wanted and paid for. The parking was very tight and difficult to get in and out of.

Rooibekkie offers good overnight facilities with certain restrictions.

I chose the accommodation because the discount. Very neat, very clean. But very tight. No table or chair to work on, read or eat. One cannot always read outside etc. not. If it rains or the wind blows fiercely, you have to sit on your bed and eat or work. The built-in table outside is without any light. Should one eat in the dark? The room, "kitchen" and bathroom are well equipped. We had some problems with the water in the shower because the hot water tap was not on the left as is international practice. It was like that at the sink - why not the same? I would only recommend Rooibekkie at discount prices. Note: The review only applies to Rooibekkie, because some of the other units looked really good.

Nie waarde vir geld nie, ek sal niemand aanbeveel om in Gariep te oornag nie, die waarde vir geld verblyf kan by omliggende dorpies gevind word.

Mens leer nie dat wat jy op internet sien (foto's) nie noodwendig die realiteit is nie! Verder, die verblyf in Rose Cottage was aangenaam omdat die plek netjies is - maar dit is al, vakansiegangers word uitgebuit omdat hulle moet vat wat hulle kry! Met ons terugkeer het ons vir dieselfde bedrag in 'n stylvolle eenheid geslaap, bed en ontbyt ingesluit - nooit weer sal ons by "Die Dam" oornag nie en dit is die boodskap wat ons sover moontlik sal versprei. Mens is altyd bereid om te betaal vir 'n sekere standaard - ons reis baie en ons weet waarvan ons praat, hierdie was 'n manier om te skep solank die feesseisoen 'oop' is, laat ander reisigers maar in die toekoms deur hulle ore betaal vir 'n bed om in te slaap, ons sal beslis nie. Ons hét 'n evalueringsvorm voltooi, maar vir goeie rede is dit seker nie ingedien nie. Kliëntetevredenheid is in kort wanneer 'n kliënt se behoefte en verwagting aangespreek word, nie net jou behoefte nie (om slaapplek te kry nie), die plek is netjies en skoon en alles het gewerk wat moes gewerk het, maar waarde vir geld was dit beslis nie! Die foto wat ook van "Rose Cottage" geplaas word, is absoluut misleidend. Al hierdie dinge kan ek sê as 'n Direkteur in Gehalteversekering met 'n doktorskwalifikasie daarin!

This review is being shown in its original language.

Not value for money, I would not recommend anyone to stay overnight in Gariep, value for money accommodation can be found at surrounding villages.

You don't learn that what you see on the internet (photos) is not necessarily the reality! Furthermore, the stay in Rose Cottage was pleasant because the place is tidy - but that's all, holidaymakers are exploited because they have to take what they can get! On our return we slept in a stylish unit for the same amount, bed and breakfast included - never again will we spend the night at "Die Dam" and this is the message we will spread as far as possible. One is always prepared to pay for a certain standard - we travel a lot and we know what we are talking about, this was a way to create as long as the festive season is 'open', let other travelers pay through their ears in the future for a bed to sleep in, we certainly won't. We had an evaluation form completed, but for good reason it was probably not submitted. Customer satisfaction is in short when a customer's need and expectation is addressed, not just your need (to find a place to sleep), the place is neat and clean and everything worked that should have worked, but value for money it definitely was not! The photo also posted of "Rose Cottage" is absolutely misleading. All these things I can say as a Director in Quality Assurance with a doctoral qualification in it!

Nie ons beste oornag nie.

Die kontakpersoon by Rose Cottage was foutief en moes ons straat op en af soek om in te kom. Gevolglik was die eienaar maar bra ongeduldig. Die "prefab" mure is báie dun en jy hoor álles wat langsaan aangaan. Dit is beslis nie B&B soos geadverteer nie maar net "self-catering". Ons sal nie weer daar gaan bly nie.

Eenheid is baie gerieflik, maar ek glo nie jy kry waarde vir geld nie.

Met ons aankoms moes ons wag vir iemand van buite om te kom oopsluit. Die kamer was vol miere. Vir die tarief dink ek ons kon beter kry maar omrede dit 'n baie besige naweek was a.g.v. Angus se storie in Bloemfontein moes ons dit ongelukkig maar vat. By ander gastehuise is daar opsies vir ontbyt of kontinentale ontbyte word ingesluit teen dieselfde tariewe. Daar is geen DStv beskikbaar nie.

Upon arrival we had to wait for someone to open for us. Room full of ants.

At other guesthouses options for breakfast or continental breakfast are included in the rates. There was no DStv.

Hi Attie,
Unfortunately it was our high season rates, when accommodation is in demand. We only offer self catering stays as there are so many restaurants, hotels and resorts that offer good inexpensive breakfasts. We have arrangements with one in particular and we could have referred you to them, if you asked.
Our winter special are half the rates.
I have been all around South Africa and have found our rates well below other established self catering guest houses.
Sorry about the ants, they are certainly a nuisance at Gariep Dam and we try our best to get them under control.
We hope to see you again.

The room was clean and tidy, but it was just a room with a bathroom with only a shower. The first not nearly a "cottage" and very basic of "prefab" I expected accommodation in a cottage similar to the photo that was on the web.

Vriendelike diens en vinnige terugvoering, maar die gebrekkige fasiliteite en min privaatheid stel teleur.

Die diens was vriendelik en baie tegemoetkomend, ongelukkig het die fasiliteite nie aan 'n billike verwagting voldoen nie. Die kamers is nie baksteengeboue nie, eerder tydelike eenhede. Dit beteken dat die skeiding tussen gaste letterlik plankdun is en alle geluide hoorbaar is. Dit is nie aangenaam om die volle besonderhede van die argumente (met al die nodige kru taal) van die gaste langsaan deur die nag te hoor nie. Die stort maak gebruik van 'n laedruk solar-verwarmer, wat beteken die waterdruk is laag en baie sensitief. Tog kan dit aanvaar word in 'n area wat gebuk gaan onder 'n knellende droogte. Die klam handdoeke op die gastebeddens, is egter minder aanvaarbaar. Dit het gereën voor ons koms, maar dan kon daar 'n plan gemaak word met 'n tuimeldroër. Vir die prys wat jy betaal, verwag mens beter fasiliteite. Jammer, ek sal nie Rose Cottage aanbeveel nie.

Friendly service and quick feedback, but the inadequate facilities and lack of privacy was disappointing.

The service was friendly and very accommodating, unfortunately the facilities didn't meet my expectations. The rooms aren't brick buildings, but rather temporary units. This means that the separation between guests is literally paper thin and all sounds can be heard. It really isn't pleasant to hear the full details of arguments (with all the dirty language) of guests all through the night. The shower works with a low pressure solar heater, which means the water pressure is very low and sensitive. But this can be understood in an area with extreme drought. The moist towels on guests' beds is, however, less acceptable. It rained before arrival, but a plan could have been made with a tumble dryer. For the price you pay, you expect better facilities. Sorry, but I won't recommend Rose Cottage.

Paid for a place and then got a third grade place. Had to be in swallow unit for 6 people and ended up in falcon 4. Not the place we paid for.

We were tired after the Its time event and just wanted to sleep. Actually didn't realize until the next day that it wasn't the place we saw pictures of. Decided that the old man who had to check us in must have made a mistake and left it there. Place does not have a door in toilet. Cobwebs on roof. Everyone sleeps in one room like a caravan camping.

Ons was 4 volwassenes in Swallow en dit is heeltemal te duur vir so 'n beknopte plekkie.

Heeltemal overpriced! Die advertensie en ook 'confirmation letter' is baie misleidend. 'n Volledig toegeruste kombuis met eetkamer en sitvertrek is niks meer as 'n 3x3 m vertrekkie nie. Alles is so beknop. Die privaat buite badkamer is nie vir gaste se gebruik nie. Die splash pool is onder reperasie! En glad nie so privaat en romanties soos die prentjie dit laat klink het nie. Hierdie is niks meer as 'n baie duur oornagkamer nie. Ek sal dit beslis nie aanbeveel nie!

We were 4 adults in Swallow and it is way too expensive for such a cramped place.

Totally overpriced! The advertisement and also 'confirmation letter' are very misleading. A fully equipped kitchen with dining room and sitting room is nothing more than a 3x3 m room. Everything is so cramped. The private outside bathroom is not for guest use. The splash pool is under repair! And not at all as private and romantic as the picture made it sound. This is nothing more than a very expensive overnight room. I definitely wouldn't recommend it!

Lekker verby.

Dit is regtig 'n baie netjiese plekkie. Daar is kennisgewings op teen die badkamer muur as ook die stort wat vir 'n mens inlig dat hulle gebruik maak van sonkrag-geisers, ons het glad nie 'n probleem gehad met enigiets nie ons het regtig baie lekker gekuier. Dit is regtig 'n plekkie waar ons weer sal oorbly. Die personeel is ook baie bedagsaam.

Was nie te aangenaam weens kragonderbreking, maar die plek was uitmuntend skoon en netjies.

Ons is eerstens deur Ronnie ontvang wat geen kennis gedra het van ons bespreking op sy stelsel nie. Hy het ons toe ingeklok in 'n ander eenheid wat beskikbaar was. Die eenheid was rêrig baie skoon en netjies. Daar was 'n geweldige storm ongeveer 5 uur en daaropvolgend is die hele Gariep se krag af. Ek het 'n uur gewag en niks gehoor van die herstel van die krag nie en toe Ronnie geskakel en hom versoek om op te volg. Hy het toe 2 kerse gegee. Ons moes toe met geen krag geen van die fasiliteite gebruik nie en was dit nie dat ons vleis vir braai gehad het nie, sou ons honger moes gaan slaap. Wat wel sleg was, is dat hy nie eers opgevolg het of ons reggekom het nie of dalk iets benodig. Ek sou ten minste verwag het dat die eienaar dalk iets soos gaslamp of twee en gasbottel met cooker top beskikbaar sou hê vir gaste in sulke onvoorsiene omstandighede. Persoonlik voel ek dat die geld betaal vir die oornag gedurende omstandighede nie werd was nie en kon ons dalk tegemoet gekom gewees het om 'n verminderde bedrag te kon betaal.

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

Wasn't too pleasant due to power outage, but the place was excellently clean and tidy.

We were first received by Ronnie who had no knowledge of our booking on his system. He then checked us into another unit that was available. The unit was really very clean and tidy. There was a tremendous storm for about 5 hours and then all of Gariep's power went out. I waited an hour and heard nothing about the power being restored and then called Ronnie and requested him to follow up. He then gave 2 candles. We then had no power to use any of the facilities and if it wasn't for the fact that we had meat for a barbecue, we would have had to go to bed hungry. What was bad is that he didn't even follow up if we were ok or if we needed something. I would at least have expected that the owner might have something like a gas lamp or two and gas bottle with cooker top available for guests in such unforeseen circumstances. Personally, I feel that the money paid for the overnight stay was not worth it under the circumstances and perhaps we could have been accommodated to be able to pay a reduced amount.

Hi Chris, my apology for answering you in English, I'm fluent in Afrikaans but "sukkel" with writing Afrikaans. I have read through your lengthy report and your complaint is absolutely valid and the points you make are constructive and we have undertaken to furnish each of our units with a gas bottle and hob for those unexpected outages. As easy as we got used to "load-shedding" as easy we have forgotten to make provision for such an event. We will offer you a free stay voucher to any of our 16 x SunRose Guest House units. Please contact me directly when you book again and I will see that you are treated like royalty.
Hope to see you soon.

Very bad, not neat and bad atmosphere.

We booked for two nights, but it is a real stop over place where you absolutely not want to stay for more than one night. It is very noisy (at least in Falcon) you very clearly hear your neighbours leave at 5 in the morning. It is not a nice place to sit outside (the parking is your backyard). Furthermore, our fridge did not work and they just told us to put it in the freezer. No hospitality at all. On the website and in the e-mails we received it looked much better than it is, for example, no brochure about everything in the neighbourhood. So, no recommendation at all.

Rose Cottage 's response

Dear Selma,

Please accept our apologies, this unit is specifically designed for single night stay overs and not for longer stays. My booking clerk should have given you one of our other units. For this we are prepared to offer you a free stay voucher and hope to see you again.

Hierdie verblyf is heeltemal te duur vir dit wat aangebied word. Elkeen het verwagtinge, maar die prys sal hersien moet word, veral in die omgewing.

Ontvangs was nie vriendelik gewees nie. Ons moes wag vir Ronnie om ons te ontvang. Ligging nie goed nie! Veiligheid kan na gekyk word. Wil nie net negatiewe kommentaar lewer nie, maar sal dit glad nie aanbeveel as 'n oornagplek nie. Heeltemal te duur vir dit wat jy kry en foto's op internet is bedrieglik.

This accommodation is way too expensive for what you end up getting. Everyone has their own expectations, but the price should be revised, especially in this area.

The people at reception weren't very friendly. We had to wait for Ronnie to welcome us. The location is quite bad! Attention should be paid to security. Don't want to offer only negative commentary, but I really wouldn't recommend this place as a stopover. Way too expensive for what you get and the photos aren't really representative of what you'll get.

What you see is not what you get.

Very disappointed as the pics displayed on LekkeSlaap is indeed very misleading and are nothing compared to what its really like. Met by a friendly but very scruffy looking gent. We were 7 adults and 2 toddlers and stayed for 5 nights, but were given the worst units. The units were dirty, filthy, run-down, broken and very limited indeed. The units are just across the road from a very noisy, unruly and dirty area full of drunk people and constantly barking dogs. Inside and outside lights were either faulty or did not work, TV had very limited channels, bedroom curtains were white in colour so the street lights shone through making the rooms bright and not conducive to sleep, no hot water at the kitchen zink, microwave had no glass turntable inside so could not be used, fire extinguishers were last inspected during 2010, oven hob faulty and had to be switched off at the breaker so the rest of the oven could not be used, broken kitchen towel hooks, broken outside gates and fencing, solar lights in the outside gazebos not working, shower head had scale build-up to such an extent that we had to remove it, dirty walls through-out the units. Roses? What roses? Rust holes in gutters (it raining continuously the weekend and water poured through these holes). Grass? What grass? Poorly maintained garden, blunt carving knives, very dirty kitchen cupboards, dust on top of fridge and upper surfaces, carpets to large for rooms and door can't be closed without removing the carpets, and the list goes on and on. We stayed in Aberdeen for one night before we arrived at Rose Cottage. The difference is like day and night! Once a year my children living in Joburg and I meet around the Colesberg area for the Easter weekend. What should have been a nice experience, turned into the "weekend from hell". As you may have noticed, we left a day earlier than planned due to the fact that we just could not deal with all these issue any more and the ladies in our group spent more time cleaning than enjoying themselves. I took some pics if anybody is interested in seeing what we had to deal with. Trust me, you don't want to stay at one of these units. It's disgusting!

Rose Cottage 's response

Hi Andre, Firstly thank you for your constructive review and for sending me the photo's you took. I must sadly agree with you that we have not kept our stringent maintenance up on this Suikerbekkie free standing home unit. SunRose Group of guest houses has 16 units, mostly around the Gariep Dam area and we have concentrated our efforts mainly in getting the other 15 units up to a very high standard. Your review gave us a bit of a wake up call and I have diverted my complete maintenance team to Suikerbekkie and have used your photos and remarks as a benchmark for repairs and improvements. I am today glad to inform you that we have not only attended to all the points in your review, but have re-painted the entire house, replaced the gutters and downpipes. We have even attended to the rowdy and drunk neighbours and would inform you that this has been brought under control. The owner of the house passed away some two weeks ago and all the rowdy grandchildren have left and only Mrs van Wyngaardt remains in the house.
As owner of the SunRose group of guest houses, firstly let me apologise for your bad experience and we would kindly offer you a free stay voucher, which is valid at any one of our 17 guest houses for a period of 3 years. We hope to see you soon and assure you that we will treat you like royalty and make sure that you have a pleasant stay with us.

Verblyf en diens was baie goed.

Daar moet dalk net meer aan die mierplaag gedoen word. Groot hoeveelheid biltong wat verpak was in 'n boks was die volgende dag vol miere. Die houer was op die kas gesit en was te groot vir die yskas. Ons kon dit ongelukkig nie in die kar los nie, want dit was te warm buite.

Perhaps more needs to be done about the ant infestation. Large amount of biltong packed in a box was full of ants the next day. The container was sitting on the cupboard and was too big for the fridge. Unfortunately we couldn't leave it in the car because it was too hot outside.

Netjiese verblyf.

Nadat die fisiese adres aan ons per SMS bevestig was, en ek die kontaknommer wat verskaf was geskakel het die dag voor ons verblyf om te noem dat ons tussen 20:00 en 21:00 sal arriveer, was ek teleurgesteld toe ons daar aankom en daar ander gaste in die eenheid is wat aan ons toegeken was. Ek moes toe skakel waarna ons daardie tyd van die aand, na mens moeg is van die heeldag se ry, na 'n ander eenheid moes gaan. Dit is nie vir my aanvaarbaar nie, veral wanneer mens vooraf bevestig het nie.

Neat accommodation.

After the physical address was confirmed to us via SMS, and I called the contact number provided the day before our stay to mention that we would be arriving between 20:00 and 21:00, I was disappointed when we got there and there other guests in the unit are what we were allocated. I then had to call after which we had to go to another unit at that time of the evening, after one is tired from the whole day's driving. This is not acceptable to me, especially when one has confirmed in advance.
