Plek is baie netjies, maar sal nie weer daar inboek nie.

Hek word nie gesluit nie. Sal voorstel 'n spieel word opgesit vir dames naby aan kragpunt vir hare en grimering. Ook darem 'n sakkie of twee koffie, tee en suiker. Bietjie raserig op hoofpad met trokke. Daar was ook geen WiFi-wagwoord om te gebruik nie.

Place is very neat, but will not check in there again.

Gate is not locked. Would suggest a mirror be put up for ladies close to power point for hair and makeup. Also at least a bag or two of coffee, tea and sugar. A bit noisy on main road with trucks. There was also no WiFi password to use.

Geen geriewe as krag af is, swak belangstelling in gaste, teleurstellend.

Ongelukkig was ek baie spyt oor die gastehuis en dat ek betaal het. Dit was snerpend koud en met my aankoms moes ek hoor 'n substasie het uitgebrand so dus geen krag nie. Daar is vir my gewys die kamer het 'n buislig wat 'n noodlig is maar diè het slegs 20min gewerk en nou en dan geflikker boonop. Ek het darem met my aankoms 'n ketel warm water gekry en kon vir my 'n koffie maak teen 17h30. Ongelukkig het ek in 'n donker koue kamer gesit en nadat ek vir Louisa gebel het oor die krag probleem het hulle 'n kragopwekker aangesit 19h00. Ek het gedink goed hulle sal soos meeste gastehuise ten minste die opwekker laat loop tot ten minste 22h00 en het TV gekyk en wou my kos warm maak 20h00, maar dit is afgesit na 40min. Weer gebel en gevra hoekom is daar nie water nie, maar sy het gesê dan is daar nie want die krag is van 15h00 al af. ?. Ek het aangeneem die opwekker se petrol is klaar en het 'n halfuur gewag met die hoop dat my donker kamer sal oplig, maar na ek weer navraag gedoen het is ek meegedeel hulle het dit afgesit want 'blykbaar' is die tegnikuste op toneel en gaan die substasie wat ontplof het reggemaak work, heel onwaarskynlik want waar kry jy parte op 'n Vrydagaand en daar was 'n munisipale werker in die ontploffing, dus sekerlik moes DoL sou ondersoek moes las? Dus moes ek in 'n yskoue kamer met my selfoonlig oor die weg kom met geen warm water, inteendeel geen water omdat water slegs loop op die drukpomp, geen manier om my kos warm te maak nie, geen verhitter wat ek kon aansit nie en geen TV nie. Ek het dus betaal vir WiFi (wat sporadies) afgegeaan het en 'n pikdonker kamer! Daar was op geen tydstip verskoning gevra vanaf Louisa nie ek dink inteendeel dit pla haar nie. Ek het die vorige ratings gaan oplees en dit is 'n konstante probleem hier dat krag afgaan buite beurtkrag ook, waarom sou hulle dan nie voorsiening maak nie? Hulle soek net die inkomste? Dinge sou ietwat aanvaarbaar wees as hulle die kragopwekker kon aanhou tot 22h00 dat mens dan kan gaan slaap en 'n basiese benodigheid soos lopende water kon hê vir die geld wat mens betaal. Gas geysers - nie iets waarvan hulle weet en kon implementeer die laaste paar jaar van sukkel nie? 'n Ordentlike tafel waarop al hulle eetgerei kan staan en nie van die kooktoestelle op die kamervloer hoef te stoor nie. 'n Gasstoof is nog 'n toestel wat hulle kon aanbied. Ou meubels waarvan die een bedkassie geen laaie het nie. Soos vernoem is geen hulp of verskoning aangebied nie, ek sou skaam kry om so plek te bedryf en wat nog adverteer! Ek sal hierdie plek geensins aanbeveel nie.

No amenities when power is off, poor interest in guests, disappointing.

Unfortunately, I really regretted the guest house and that I paid. It was bitterly cold and upon my arrival I had to hear that a substation had burned out so no power. I was shown the room has a tube light which is an emergency light but it only worked for 20min and flickered every now and then. At least I got a kettle of hot water on my arrival and was able to make myself a coffee by 17h30. Unfortunately I sat in a dark cold room and after I called Louisa about the power problem they switched on a generator at 19h00. I thought well like most guesthouses they will at least run the generator until at least 22h00 and watched TV and wanted to heat my food at 20h00 but it was turned off after 40min. Called again and asked why there is no water, but she said then there isn't because the power has been off since 15h00. ?. I assumed the generator had run out of gas and waited half an hour hoping my dark room would light up, but after I inquired again I was told they had turned it off because 'apparently' the technicians were on scene and going the substation that exploded was fixed work, very unlikely because where do you get parts on a Friday night and there was a municipal worker in the explosion, so surely DoL should have investigated? So I had to get by in a freezing cold room with my cell phone light with no hot water, on the contrary no water because water only runs on the pressure pump, no way to heat my food, no heater I could turn on and no TV is not. So I paid for WiFi (which went off sporadically) and a pitch black room! There was no apology from Louisa at any time, I think on the contrary it bothers her. I went to read the previous ratings and it's a constant problem here that power goes off outside of load shedding as well, why wouldn't they cater for that? Are they just looking for the income? Things would be somewhat acceptable if they could keep the generator running until 22h00 so that one could then go to sleep and have a basic necessity such as running water for the money one pays. Gas geysers - not something they know about and could implement the last few years of struggle? A decent table on which all their cutlery can stand and not having to store some of the cooking appliances on the room floor. A gas stove is another appliance they could offer. Old furniture, one of which has no drawers. As mentioned no help or apology was offered, I would be ashamed to run a place like that and what else advertise! I would not recommend this place in any way.

Silvex is geleë aan die buitewyke van Piet Retief en is 'n aangename plek om te oornag, maar die beddens het aandag nodig.

Matrasse is uitgewerk en ongemaklik om op te slaap. Die plastiek toiletsitplek is gebreek.

Familiekuier, baie teleurgesteld.

Met ons aankoms was ons gegroet deur die skoonmaker en hy het ons kamersleutels gegee. Ons kon nie kosmaak nie omrede daar geen potte of panne was nie. Daar was wel 'n bak wat ons kon gebruik in die mikrogolf maar ek moes etes in sarsies maak. Daar was ook nie op skeplepels nie en moes sukkel met 'n eetlepel om op te skep. Ek moes vra vir 'n skerp mes omdat daar net bottermesse was. Net 2 glase vir 'n kamer van 4. Die kamer kon nie sluit van binne af nie. Die stoeplig het heelnag deur die gordyne geskyn en dit het steeds die kamer lig gemaak wat veroorsaak het dat ons nie 'n goeie nagrus kon kry nie. Die matrasse is uitgelê en hol, waar die ander die springs jou steek. Die kamer het ook soos muf geruik na die reën. Ek het ook 'n paar klein kokkerotte doodgemaak. Die wasbak buite het geen warm water om skottelgoed te was nie en ons moes die ketel kook vir was water. Die eienaars het darem kom groet na ons 'n uur daar was en die tye genoem van hulle beurtkrag. Die stoof is op die buitestoep vir almal se gebruik maar kon dit nie van gebruik maak nie. Die swembad is baie klein en was grasgroen, my kinders kon nie eers lyf nat maak nie.

Family visit, very disappointed.

Upon our arrival we were greeted by the cleaner and he gave us room keys. We could not cook because there were no pots or pans. There was a bowl we could use in the microwave but I had to make meals in batches. There were also no scoops and had to struggle with a tablespoon to scoop up. I had to ask for a sharp knife because there were only butter knives. Only 2 glasses for a room of 4. The room could not lock from the inside. The porch light shone through the curtains all night and it still lit up the room causing us to not get a good night's rest. The mattresses are laid out and hollow, where the others the springs stick you. The room also smelled musty after the rain. I also killed some small cockroaches. The sink outside has no hot water to wash dishes and we had to boil the kettle for washing water. At least the owners came to say hello after we had been there for an hour and mentioned the times of their load shedding. The stove is on the outside porch for everyone to use but could not use it. The pool is very small and was grass green, my children couldn't even wet themselves.

Silvex het dramaties agteruit gegaan. Die hele voorkoms toon dat die perseel te koop is en dat eienaars nie verder geld op die instandhouding spandeer nie.

Ons was net 'n nag daar.

Niemand was daar om ons in te klok nie en die persoon wat wel daar was moes eers die persoon bel van die dorp af om ons in te klok, waar sy 'n paar keer nie geantwoord het nie so ons moes 'n hele rukkie wag voor ons eers in ons kamer kon ingaan. Verder was die plek baie mooi en netjies.

Moet nie jou geld mors nie, foto's verlei jou.

Die plek lyk mooi op die oog af, maar teen amper R500 'n aand kry jy: Stukkende stort wat die hele badkamer nat spuit, 'n waterplas onder mikrogolf oor daklek (gevaar), die klimraam is stukkend, die gasvrou het nooit kom hallo sê of groet nie, beddegoed was gewas maar met ou kolle op, geen instruksies oor WiFi nie - moes vra, geen seep/sanitizer in badkamer, vuil skottelgoed by koffiestasie, honde wat heeltyd om jou is. Hulle het wel 'n pragtige tuin, mooi swembad en ou trampolien.

They do have a beautiful garden, nice swimming pool and old trampoline.

Shocked.

The location looked like a scrap yard, the room was okay, until you opened up the bedding, it was filthy, there were 2 glasses in the whole unit and I had to wash them before use, with a duty/old sponge, please note we booked for 4 individuals and paid for 4 individuals, there was 1 towel, 2 broken TVs just set up in the lounge, It was late as we were breaking our trip from Hazyview to Ballito, so we ended up spending the most of our evening before heading back to the unit at the Spur. I'd be embarrassed.

Dis 'n tent, so die spasie is min, maar alles wat nodig is vir veral kampeer, is daar! Pragtige en veilige omgewing. Die laaste 3 km is grondpad.

Sentraal geleë om ook ander besienswaardighede te besoek. Naby die wildtuin. Rustig en mooi plaas.

It's a tent, so the space is small, but everything you need especially for camping is there! Beautiful and safe environment. The last 3 km is dirt road.

Centrally located to visit other attractions as well. Close to the wildlife park. Quiet and beautiful farm.

More Julia,
As jou toilet papier klaargeraak het kon jy net vir nog vra, defnitief was daar in toe jul gekom het. Ons het 'n baie groot haelstorm gehad en vele skade wat onmiddelik onder konstruksie geplaas is vir herstel. Die swembad is ongelukkig op jou besoek aan gewerk maar is nou weer 100% reg. Ek is baie jammer vir die ongerief van die swembad.

Redelik vir die prys, maar het beter verwag in vergelyking met geadverteerde voorbeelde.

Badkamer en beddegoed het beslis aandag nodig. Slegs twee sakkies koffie vir twee mense wat gebruik word by aankoms of mens moet dan wag om die volgende oggend die koffie te kan gebruik wat voorsien word. Verskillende kleure beddegoed op dieselfde bed en geen plek om jou badkamergoed neer te sit in die badkamer nie, asook geen handeseep of klein handdoeke vir handewas nie. Covid-19 is 'n werklikheid.

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

Reasonable for the price but expected better compared to advertised examples.

Bathroom and bedding definitely need attention. Only two bags of coffee for two people that are used on arrival or you then have to wait to be able to use the coffee that is provided the next morning. Different colored bedding on the same bed and no place to put your bathroom items in the bathroom, as well as no hand soap or small towels for washing hands. Covid-19 is a reality.

Vuil en swak diens.

Sal nie die plek aanbeveel nie. Niemand het ons ontvang of verwelkom nie. Die skoonmaker het vir ons die hek oopgemaak en ons verwys na ons kamer. Ons het nooit iemand ontmoet wat in beheer is van die plek nie. Die buiteterrein is vreeslik vuil, deurmekaar en scruffy a.g.v. van die permanente inwoners. Swembaddens is in die erwe van die permanente inwoners. Nie lekker om reg voor iemand se voordeur te swem of waar iemand se wasgoed hang nie. Dankie tog ons het 'n stel swembad handdoeke in die kar gehad, want die handdoeke het verskriklik gestink. Die klimraam is stukkend, mis planke en het geroeste spykers. Yskas was baie vuil. Ligte buite was so helder dat ons nie kon slaap nie. Moes die ekstra komberse van die beddens afhaal en oor die gordynreling hang om die lig uit te blok. Toe ons oppak om te ry het daar nogsteeds niemand in beheer ons kom sien nie, net die skoonmaker gestuur om te vra vir die res van die geld. Boek eerder iewers anders.

Dirty and poor service.

Would not recommend the place. No one received or welcomed us. The cleaner opened the gate for us and directed us to our room. We never met anyone in charge of the place. The outside area is terribly dirty, messy and scruffy due to of the permanent residents. Swimming pools are in the plots of the permanent residents. Not nice to swim right in front of someone's front door or where someone's laundry is hanging. Thank goodness we had a set of pool towels in the car because the towels smelled awful. The climbing frame is broken, missing boards and has rusted nails. Fridge was very dirty. Lights outside were so bright we couldn't sleep. Had to take the extra blankets off the beds and hang them over the curtain rail to block out the light. When we got up to drive there was still no one in charge who came to see us, only the cleaner was sent to ask for the rest of the money. Book somewhere else instead.

Would not recommend

Because I travel quite a lot and have stayed at quite a few previous places, I was quite disappointed in the setup. 1) There were no decent cups or mugs to use for drinking coffee or tea. 2) Coffee was only enough for one use. 3) No fresh milk. Other places give a choice of fresh milk (250 ml) or powdered milk. 4) Towels were very old and washed out. 5) Bedding - No sheets, just a duvet pulled over the bed. (Just wondering how many people sleep under the same duvet, and whether it is washed every time after a visit.

Vriendelike ontvangs, netjies.

Verblyf was netjies en ruim, maar die kombuisgeriewe was regtig onvoldoende. Die gastehuis is buite die dorp en na 'n lang dag op die pad is mens nie noodwendig lus om terug dorp toe te ry om te gaan eet nie. Daar was net twee koffiebekers, dus kan mens nie sop eet die aand en die volgende oggend koffie drink nie, want daar is ook nie wasgeriewe nie. 'n Kombuisopwasbak sal 'n groot verskil maak.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Friendly reception, neat.

Accommodation was neat and spacious, but the kitchen facilities were really inadequate. The guesthouse is out of town and after a long day on the road one does not necessarily want to drive back to town to eat. There were only two coffee mugs, so you can't eat soup that night and drink coffee the next morning, because there are no washing facilities either. A kitchen sink will make a big difference.

Basic, comfortable, value for money, good location but lacks essentials.

Our stay at Silvex would have been 100% if it wasn't for the hot water from the shower which is not adequate at all. The water takes a long time to heat up, is not hot enough, runs too slowly and comes and goes. Furthermore, there are rats on the ceiling which are disturbing at night and a risk for Silvex itself.

Dusty blinds were full of sticky dust.

Very nice place, hostess was helpful and friendly, but the rooms were all very dusty and it was old sticky dust that was just stuck on the blinds. Bedding also smelled of dust, two guests had to sleep in their car because their sinuses were affected.

The place is very dirty.

The children entered and immediately left the place. Very dirty, hair in the bed. Shower mat and shower were dirty. The children found accommodation in the town and we also booked out in the morning and went to join the children.

Vuil.

Ek het die gevoel gekry dat 'n permanente inwoner gou moes uittrek om ons te akkommodeer. Beddens se oortreksels was vol kolle, toilet nie skoon, mikrogolf vuil, ketel vuil. Ou slaai en melk in die yskas. 'n Groot klip in die stort om blykbaar jou voete te skrop. Dit is regtig grillerig. Ek neem aan dit is dan die waarde wat mens kry vir die lae prys. Ek kan wel sê dat die personnel baie vriendelik was.

Dirty.

I got the feeling that a permanent resident had to move out soon to accommodate us. Bed covers were full of stains, toilet not clean, microwave dirty, kettle dirty. Old salad and milk in the fridge. A large stone in the shower to apparently scrub your feet. It's really creepy. I suppose that is the value you get for the low price. I can say that the personnel were very friendly.

It was fine for the amount of money we paid.

It was the only place that was relatively cheap for a one night stay, we arrived and there was not really anyone there to receive us or even anyone who works there the only lady that helped us was a lady that does not even work for them she just also lives on the premises and when we went home there was no one really to check us out we just dropped the key in the box by the gate. Would rather check out some of the other many accommodation places in Piet Retief.

Puik gasvryheid en kommunikasie!

Verblyf vir ‘n vinnige oorstop was perfek vir die prys. Linne kan dalk net aandag geniet, katoen duvet oortreksels word voorgestel en miskien badhanddoeke. Was nie bewus ons moes ons eie voorsien nie. Daar was net 2 klein hande-handdoeke in die chalet.

Great hospitality and communication!

Accommodation for a quick stopover was perfect for the price. Linens may just need attention, cotton duvet covers are suggested and perhaps bath towels. Wasn't aware we had to provide our own. There were only 2 small hand towels in the chalet.

Perfek vir 'n oornag tussen die Noordkus en hoëveld!

Silvex was ons oornag-slaapplek op die terugreis vanaf die Noordkus na Johannesburg. Die ontvangs was baie vriendelik en alles is goed verduidelik. Die eenheid is goed toegerus met basiese eetgerei - die enigste probleem was om die breekgoed weer te was, aangesien die enigste wasbak in die eenheid die klein badkamerwasbak is. Jammer dat ons die vuil skottelgoed vir julle gelos het!

Perfect for an overnight stay between the North Coast and highveld!

Silvex was our overnight stop on the return journey from the North Coast to Johannesburg. The reception was very friendly and everything was well explained. The unit is well equipped with basic cutlery - the only issue was washing the crockery again as the only sink in the unit is the small bathroom sink. Sorry we left the dirty dishes for you!

Good value for money.

We arrived around 8 pm, the lady who welcomed us (Jeanette I think) was extremely friendly. We were quite tired to go out for food and she offered us something to eat, which we enjoyed very much. For what we paid, I was pleasantly surprised with what the place offered. The only negative thing is that the shower in our room could not be adjusted to a comfortable bathing temperature, it would only switch between cold and hot.

Heerlik snoesig en warm met ons aankoms. Lekker ontspan na die week van harde werk.

Verblyf is 'n winskoop in die huidige ekonomiese omstandighede waarin die land hom bevind. Lekker ontspan met 'n bietjie totale afsluiting van die daaglikse gejaag by werk en oor die algemeen. Lanklaas net op die bed gelê en TV kyk, wat jare laas met my gebeur het. Sal graag weer daar gaan oorbly.

Accommodation is a bargain in the current economic circumstances in which the country finds itself. Nice and relaxing with a bit of total closure from the daily rush at work and in general.

Baie oulik!

Silvex is baie netjies ingerig. Het ook die mooiste tuine en die reën op die sinkdak het jou lekker laat slaap! Waarde vir geld! Sal vir seker weer daar gaan bly!

Silvex is very well furnished. It also has the prettiest gardens and when it rains on the iron roof, it relaxes you into a good night's sleep! Value for money! Will definitely stay there again.

Rustige verblyf.

Vriendelike ontvangs. Die verblyf is net toegerus vir oornag. So ons het ons misgis en kon nie regtig iets maak om te eet daar nie. Ek wil graag voorstel dat daar ligte aangebring word by die ingang vanaf die hoofpad sodat dit makliker waarneembaar is snags.

Peaceful stay.

Friendly reception. The accommodation is only equipped for overnight stays. So we were wrong and couldn't really make anything to eat there. I would like to suggest that lights be installed at the entrance from the main road so that it is easier to see at night.

Baie ongemaklik gewees.

My man het gebel toe sê persoon net hello hello en sit neer. Bel ander nommer toe sê vrou sy sal dat hulle nou oopmaak, sy is nie tuis. Voor ons in kamer gaan hardloop hulle om verwarmer aan te sit en twee klein handdoeke op te hang. Dit is bekostigbaar ja, maar geen verskoning as die plek vuil is. Kan nie op bank sit dit is so vuil. As kussings weggevat word is daar 'n groot swart kol soos iemand vuil daar gelê het teen leuning. Kussings maak nie die kol toe so groot is die kol. Spieël is so vuil en vol merke. Op die eetgerei sit ou kos nog, moet eers gewas word in piepklein wasbak. Borde sit vol vingermerke. Daar was geen afdrooglap nie. Twee stortkoppe in vensterbank maar nie waar dit moet wees. Beddegoed was skoon maar kort nuwes. Op die stoele se dwarslatte kan jy sien dit is baie lanklaas afgestof. Kon nie gou genoeg die volgende oggend daar wegkom nie. Dit kon regtig skoon gewees het.

Very uncomfortable.

My husband called and person just said hello hello and hung up. Called another number, woman said she would have them open now, she was not at home. Before we go into the room they run to turn on the heater and hang two small towels. It's affordable yes, but no excuse if the place is dirty. Can't sit on sofa it's so dirty. If the cushions are taken away there is a big black spot as if someone had laid there dirty against the handrail. Pillows do not cover the spot as big as the spot. Mirror is so dirty and full of marks. There is still old food on the cutlery, it must first be washed in a tiny sink. Plates are full of fingerprints. There was no drying cloth. Two shower heads in windowsill but not where they should be. Bedding was clean but lacks new ones. You can see on the chairs' cross bars that they haven't been dusted in a very long time. Couldn't get out of there soon enough the next morning. It could have been really clean.

Vinnig en maklik vir een aand se oorslaap met baie basiese geriewe.

Die plek lyk of dit so bietjie kan doen met 'n opknap en kort so bietjie aandag. Dit was ook nie 100% skoon nie. Ek stel voor jy kry 'n wegneemete, want dit is net 'n kamer met 'n yskas in en 'n paar borde plus 'n ketel. Mens parkeer darem reg voor jou deur onder 'n afdak wat gerieflik is. Dit is so effens moeilik om te kry, veral in die donker, so bel maar eers om uit te vind waar dit is.

Quick and easy for one night's sleepover with very basic amenities.

The place looks like it could do with a bit of a makeover and needs some attention. It wasn't 100% clean either. I suggest you get a takeaway as it's just a room with a fridge in it and some plates plus a kettle. At least you park right in front of your door under a roof which is convenient. It's a little hard to find, especially in the dark, so call first to find out where it is.

Sou eerder meer wou betaal vir beter geriewe.

'n Engelstalige motortydskrif het by geleentheid dié opmerking oor 'n motor gemaak: "Cheap for a reason". Die opmerking pas 100% by Silvex. Die beddens en beddegoed was nie op standaard nie. Die matrasse was pap en veral die komberse was nie skoon nie. Die wasbak in die badkamer is van die klein tipe wat 'n mens gewoonlik in toilette in private wonings aantref. Daar is nie 'n bad in die badkamer nie en dit gaan maar moeilik om klein kindertjies te stort. As ek ooit weer op Piet Retief moet oornag sou ek spesifiek vra dat Silvex nie oorweeg moet word nie.

Would rather pay more for better amenities.

An English-language car magazine on occasion made this comment about a car: "Cheap for a reason". The comment fits Silvex 100%. The beds and bedding were not up to standard. The mattresses were soft and especially the blankets were not clean. The sink in the bathroom is of the small type that one usually finds in toilets in private homes. There is no bathtub in the bathroom and it is difficult to shower small children. If I ever have to spend the night on Piet Retief again, I would specifically ask that Silvex not be considered.

Bekostigbaar maar netjiese, skoon verblyf.

Ons was vriendelik ontvang. Die kamers is netjies, skoon, goed ingerig en mooi gedekoreer. Wat vir my 'n ongemaklikheid was, was die deur na die stort/toilet toe wat net 'n konsertinadeur is, wat nie baie privaatheid bied indien mens met iemand 'n kamer deel met wie jy nie getroud is nie. 'n Deur wat deeglik toe kan maak en geluide kan uithou, sal beter werk. Die stort/toilet het ook nie goeie ventilasie nie en 'n ekstraksie waaier behoort installeer te word. Dit is ook moeilik om die water wat uit die stort kom se temperatuur reg te stel om gemaklik te kan stort. Ek dink dit het te doen met die tipe geyser.

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

Affordable, but clean, neat accommodation.

We were friendly received. The rooms are clean, neat, well equipped and decorated pretty. The uncomfortable thing for me was that the door to the shower/toilet folds up, which isn't very private if you share the room with someone you are not married to. A door that can close and keep out noises, would be better. The shower/toilet didn't have good ventilation either and an extraction fan should be installed. It is difficult to fix the temperature of the water in the shower. I think it also has to do with the type of geyser.

Ek het lanklaas so 'n vriendelike ontvangs ervaar soos wat ek van Louise en George ontvang het!

Ek het so lekker in my plekkie gebly en Louise was uiters behulpsaam deur selfs vir my haar rekenaar te leen en sy het my ook bederf met heerlike melktert. Ek sal beslis weer daar tuisgaan en dit ook hoogs aanbeveel by elkeen. Doe so voort, julle!

Dit was baie lekker en sal dit aanbeveel.

Die blyplek was skoon en netjies, die buitelig kan dalk op `n veranderbare sterkte skakelaar gesit te word of donkerder, gordyne te gebruik om die beligting in die kamer te verminder gedurende die nag.

Ek was op pad Swaziland toe.

Kon nie slaap nie. Die buiteligte was heel aand aan gewees. Dis was soos daglig. Die kussing was ook hard gewees. Moeilik om die plek in die donker te vind. Maar, hulle het ons by die plaaslike garage kom ontmoet.

Hi Kevin
Ek sou dit regtig waardeer het as jy, terwyl jy hier was, net gevra het oor die ligte om af te skakel. Dit is maar 'n storie om elke mens se voorkeur te voorsien. Ons het in elk geval die ligte se sterkte verminder. Ons is tans besig om die ingang nog meer sigbaar te maak. Nege uit tien sukkel nie, maar laat aand as daar mis is of dit reën kan jy enige iets mis ry.
Ons hoop om jou weer te sien. Ek sal 'n afslag gee om te wys dat ons jammer is.

Poor sleep.

The bright light outside room and a loud motor that went on and off all night made it difficult to sleep.

Silvex 's response

Hi Thomas,
I am sorry for that but the outside light you should just switch off if needed. The loud motor was another guest that traveled with bikes which came in late and left early.
You left a book behind, but I will contact you to send it on. Hope to see your again.

Was very pleasant except for the water pressure pump that was next to the room and made noise all the time.

My recommendation is to move the water pressure pump further from the rooms so that one does not hear it. Otherwise the accommodation was very good.

Was goed genoeg vir wat ons nodig gehad het. Net vir oorslaap.

Met aankoms was daar niemand om die hek oop te maak nie. Geen persoon om ons te ontvang nie. Nêrens eers 'n klokkie wat hy kan lui by die hek nie. Glad nie beïndruk daarmee nie. Geen persoon antwoord hul cell nie. Geen aanwysings waar die kantoor of ontvangs is nie. Geen wasbak in kamer om skottelgoed te was nie. Lap sommer op hoop gegooi in die skotteltjie (seker vir die skottelgoed se was). Moes vra vir nog toiletpapier en handdoeke. Geen mens weer gesien na ons die sleutel uiteindelik ontvang het.

Was good enough for our purposes. Just an overnight stay.

When we arrived no one was there to open the gate. No one to receive us. No bell to ring at gate. Not impressed. No one answers a cellphone. No directions to office or reception. No basin in room for dishes. Cloth just tossed on the pile in the little dish (probably for dishes). Had to ask for toilet paper and towels. Didn't see a soul after we finally got the keys.

Silvex 's response

Goeie dag Ronell,

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer, ek is jammer om te verneem dat jul verblyf nie na wense was nie.

Graag wil ek om verskoning vra dat daar nie dadelik iemand beskikbaar was om julle te help nie en ook vir die onbeskikbaarheid van die personeel. Julle was gereeld uit oor die twee dae, meestal as daar iemand op die perseel was om te help met enige versoeke en vrae. Dit spyt my, omdat ons graag enige ongelukkigheid so ver moontlik wil uitskakel.

Die gastekamers het ongelukkig nie opwasgeriewe nie. Daar is wel 'n dame wat die was van skottelgoed behartig, dus hoef gaste nie hul eie skottelgoed te was nie.

Ek vertrou dat jy tog jou tyd andersins geniet het.

Groete,
Louisa

Telleurstellend.

Die ingang is baie swak verlig in die donker; was moeilik om die naambord te sien. Die eenheid aan ons toegeken was nuut en netjies buiten vir die lakens op die bed. Aanbeveling is om lakens te gebruik wat by grootte van die bed pas, verander van donker bruin na wit, sit matrasbeskermers op - wit skep 'n skoon en vars gevoel. Maak seker dat oortollige silikon na afwerking verwyder is. Die stort is mooi groot, net jammer die ingang of (deur)opening is klein, jy moet jouself dwars draai. Ontvangs was vriendelik met aankoms.

Translate to English.

Disappointing.

The entryway is very poorly lit in the dark so it was difficult to see the name board. The unit assigned to us was neat and new except for the sheets on the bed. A recommendation would be to use sheets that are suited to the size of the bed, change the colour from brown to white, put mattress protectors on - white creates a clean and fresh feeling. Ensure that the excess silicone is removed after finishing it off. The shower is nice and big, just a pity that the entrance or (door)opening is small, you have to turn sideways. Reception was friendly on arrival.

Silvex 's response

Beste Mariaan,

Ongelukkig sal ons seker nooit almal tevrede kan stel nie. Die stortdeur is standard van 700mm en ek kan jou verseker alle sigbare silikon is verwyder. Ons sal definitief probeer om die ingang meer te verlig maar is op 'n nasionale roete en mag nie ligte gebruik wat motoriste lastig sal vind nie. Wat die lakens betref word dit daagliks vervang met ander soos bv. wit party dae.

Graag wil ek jou nooi om kosteloos weer 'n aand by ons te bly ek sal graag jou tevrede wil stel. Ons is miskien die goedkoopste maar definitief ook een van die beste volgens meeste van ons kliënte.

Groete,
Louisa
