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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It's a little hard to find, especially in the dark, so call first to find out where it is.

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.

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.

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.
Groete

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 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.

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

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.

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
