We enjoyed our stay and the breakfast at Magnolia Guesthouse was excellent.

It was a very pleasant stay. The only issue was that the TV was buffering, so we could not watch anything.

Comfortable, clean and secure.

I would highly recommend the accommodation. After a massive delay/mess with my flight from Cape Town to JHB, the owner went above and beyond on a Sunday evening, waiting for me until after 00h00 to assist me with checking in. The rooms are spacious, very clean and looked after daily. Great area, very secure and lots of parking. I would highly recommend the accommodation.

Gerieflike bed, netjies en stil. Veilig.

Daar was ongelukkig geen stort in die eenheid waarin ek was nie. Hulle het wel die handstuk by die bad gehad, maar kan gerus moeite doen om die stort in die bad te installeer sodat mens 'n keuse het om te bad of te stort. Daar was ook geen geriewe om kos warm te maak in die aand nie. Ander eenhede het 'n mikrogolf gehad. Skoonmakers het ook op die tweede oggend 2 pastas verwyder uit die kamer van die vorige aand se wegneemete, wat ek eintlik die tweede aand wou eet. Die bed is slegs opgemaak met 'n kombers en geen duvet met 'n duvet inner nie. Die ontbyt is baie beperk, jy het nie 'n keuse gehad van wat jy wil hê vir 'n warm ontbyt nie, en ek voel hulle kan beter doen vir die bedrag wat mens betaal. Die afstandsbeheer van die hek het nie op dag 1 gewerk nie, so ek moes sukkel om kos aflewering te kry van die afleweringsouens, want ek kon glad nie die hek oopmaak nie. Ek het op dag 2 die afstandsbeheer ingegee, en toe is 'n ander een gegee. Hulle kan gerus die afstandsbeheer toets voordat hulle dit aan gaste gee.

Comfortable bed, neat and quiet. Safe.

Unfortunately there was no shower in the unit I was in. They did have the handpiece with the bath, but they could make an effort to install the shower in the bath so that you have a choice to bathe or shower. There were also no facilities to heat food in the evening. Other units had a microwave. Cleaners also removed 2 pastas from the room from the previous night's takeaway on the second morning, which I actually wanted to eat the second night. The bed is only made up with a blanket and no duvet with a duvet inside. The breakfast is very limited, you didn't have a choice of what you want for a hot breakfast, and I feel they can do better for the amount you pay. The remote control of the gate didn't work on day 1 so I had to struggle to get food delivery from the delivery guys because I couldn't open the gate at all. I turned in the remote on day 2, and then was given another one. They can feel free to test the remote control before giving it to guests.

Gerieflik, maar ruimte vir verbetering.

Ontbyt goed, kommunikasie swak, geen warm water, kussings is knopperig en buitelig wat direk in die kamer skyn het slaap moeilik gemaak. Verder netjies, skoon. Voorstel 1. Maak kontak met die gas voor aankoms. 2. Antwoord oproepe om issues te kan oplos. 3. Draai lig sodat die kamer donkerder kan wees vir 'n beter nagrus. 4. Vervang kussings of plaas 'n kombinasie van sagte en harde kussings vir gaste om te kan uitruil. 5. 'n Bekertjie melk in die kamer sal gaaf wees om koffie te kan maak. Fasiliteite is goed, aandag aan die fynere dinge sal ver gaan om die ervaring 1ste klas te maak. Ek sal weer besoek, sal net seker maak dat ek nie in kamer no. 5 slaap. En vra vir sagter kussings voor af, en die ander kamers is moontlik nie so direk geraak deur die buitelig. En seker maak dat warm water beskikbaar is voor ek my tas uitpak.

Comfortable, but room for improvement.

Breakfast good, communication poor, no hot water, pillows are lumpy and outside light shining directly into the room made sleeping difficult. Also neat, clean. Suggestion 1. Make contact with the guest before arrival. 2. Answer calls to resolve issues. 3. Turn light so the room can be darker for a better night's rest. 4. Replace pillows or place a combination of soft and hard pillows for guests to exchange. 5. A cup of milk in the room would be nice to be able to make coffee. Facilities are good, attention to the finer things will go a long way to make the experience 1st class. I will visit again, will just make sure I don't stay in room no. 5 sleep. And ask for softer pillows before down, and the other rooms may not be so directly affected by the outside light. And make sure hot water is available before I unpack my bag.

Mooiste eetsaal met heerlike ontbyt, bonus!

Kamer was netjies en skoon. Onverwagse gelukkie dat ontbyt ingesluit was by ons verblyf. Aparte gebou agter hoofhuis waar ontbyt bedien was is pragtig. Vervoer was maklik, Über was altyd binne minute daar. Baie sentraal geleë in Alberton.

Room was neat and clean. Unexpected luck that breakfast was included in our stay. Separate building behind main house where breakfast was served is beautiful. Transportation was easy, Über was always there within minutes. Very centrally located in Alberton.

Short overnight stay.

Only problem was no electricity in the morning and we couldn't make early morning tea. But we did get tea with our breakfast. Darn loadshedding.

Die verblyf was goed, behalwe vir die warm water.

Ek het voorheen hier gebly en die verblyf was aangenaam. Dieselfde hierdie keer, behalwe dat ek geen warm water in my kamer gehad het vir 3 dae nie. Die gasvrou het om verskoning gevra en gesê dat die probleem groter was as wat aanvanklik gedink is.

The accommodation was good, except for the hot water.

I have stayed here before and the stay was pleasant. Same this time, except I had no hot water in my room for 3 days. The hostess apologized and said that the problem was bigger than first thought.

Daar sal net moet gekyk word na krag, want as krag afgaan kan jy nie by die hekke uitkom nie.
