Huislik. Heerlik gebly. Veilige omgewing.

Groot, netjiese huis. Kamer was pragtig skoon en snoesig. Kombuis met alles toegerus. Privaat. Heerlike blyplek. Naby alles as jy wil stap. Veilig, baie veilig. Aangename gasheer.

Baie rustige omgewing.

Ons was min by die huis, maar ons het lekker gekuier as 'n groep, ons kon braai en die kombuis was gerieflik.

We were hardly at home, but we had a good time as a group, we could barbecue and the kitchen was comfortable.

Serendipity - "making an unusual exciting discovery by accident".

Excellent value for money. Don't be fooled by the price that is generally lower and assume that the standards are lower too. Far from that. Andre runs a good ship here and also is a very friendly gentleman. I would have no hesitation recommending this establishment.

Puik waarde vir geld

My minimum verwagting was 'n gemaklike bed in ’n stil omgewing. Wat ek gekry het was 'n volle toegeruste. luukse kamer, kombuis en badkamer in 'n stil windbeskutte agterstraatjie maar binne loopafstand van die hoofstrand en met 'n klein supermark 50 m weg. Ek is vriendelik ontvang deur die eienaar en is deurlopend gevra of ek iets benodig. 'n Weggesteekte juweel in die Strand

Great value for money

My minimum expectation was a comfortable bed in a quiet environment. What I got was a fully equipped. luxury room, kitchen and bathroom in a quiet wind-sheltered back street but within walking distance of the main beach and with a small supermarket 50m away. I was received kindly by the owner and was continuously asked if I needed anything. A hidden gem in the Strand

Okay.

Eienaar baie vriendelik maar die kamer was nie wat ek verwag het nie. Oud en nie so skoon nie. Verkies wit beddegoed en nie so donker kamer nie. Parkering ook glad nie genoeg nie en WiFi werk nie oral nie.

Ons het heerlik gekuier by die gastehuis.

Ruxmian Lodge is baie gerieflik. Die beddens slaap lekker, en die kombuis en badkamers is volledig toegerus. Die feit dat die gastehuis gediens word, selfs op 'n Sondag, was 'n groot bonus. Ons sal dit beslis aanbeveel.

Die lodge is lokaal gelee, maar voldoen nie aan my vereistes vir die benaming 'lodge' nie.

Dit wat op die advertensie beloof word, word nie aan die gaste verskaf nie - ontbyt, ketels in kamers, sommige middae het bediendes eers teen 15:00 die bed kom regmaak, die tv in die een kamer het slegs SABC-kanale op. Die kamer en vullisblik is slegs 1 maal per week skoongemaak en dis ook wanneer die beddegoed en handdoeke vervang is met skones. Ek kon net sowel in 'n backpackers gaan bly het! Die solderkamer waar die algemene tv te vinde is, is so ongoddelik warm dat 'n mens nie daarin belangstel om daar tv te gaan kyk nie,al is dit die enigste tv wat sateliet-tv het.

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

The lodge is located locally, but does not meet my requirements for the designation 'lodge'.

What is promised on the advertisement is not provided to the guests - breakfast, kettles in rooms, some afternoons maids didn't come to make the bed until 15:00, the tv in one room only has SABC channels on it. The room and rubbish bin are only cleaned once a week and that is also when the bedding and towels are replaced with clean ones. I might as well have stayed in a backpackers! The attic room where the general TV is to be found is so ungodly hot that one is not interested in watching TV there, even though it is the only TV that has satellite TV.

Dis 'n oulike, knus plekkie en is heel voldoende as jy vir een of twee aande gaan oorbly.

Die gastehuis is baie netjies en goed ingerig. Dit is nie baie ruim nie, maar die eienaar, Andre, is vreeslik gasvry en hulpvaardig. Ons moes op die laaste oomblik my seun van sewe saamneem, en hy was baie tegemoetkomend en behulpsaam.
