Enjoyed my stay.

It is your home away from home. The perfect accommodation for an overnight stay.

Oornagverblyf met motorfiets toer deur Karoo & Suidkaap.

Die kamer was uiters netjies, skoon & baie mooi versier. Dit was seker die beste akkommodasie van my 5 dae reis. Dit het erg gereën toe ek gearriveer het & die binnehuise-braai was fantasties. Daar was 'n yskas & groot vrieskas vir al my benodighede. Die WiFi sein was bietjie swak in die slaapkamer maar dit was genoeg vir my benodighede.

Overnight stay with motorbike tour through Karoo & South Cape.

The room was extremely neat, clean & very nicely decorated. This was probably the best accommodation of my 5 day trip. It was raining heavily when I arrived & the indoor barbecue was fantastic. There was a fridge & large freezer for all my necessities. The WiFi signal was a bit weak in the bedroom but it was enough for my needs.

Nice.

Als was pretty neat. The shower head sprays out a thick jet of water and it soaked the floor. The toilet was leaking somewhere and the smell of urine was a bit bad. The 2 sheets of fabric's knobs are a bit difficult to see where is which digit. The wi-fi signal was almost never available. Other than that we had a nice stay. Thank you very much for all the towels, especially in winter when it is difficult to dry. Thanks for all the warm blankets too.

Net 1 nag daar geslaap. Inrit baie skuins, voertuie se onderkant skraap.

Chalet het na rook geruik en WiFi het nie gewerk nie.

Only slept there 1 night. Drive in very steeply, the bottom of vehicles scrapes.

Teleurstellend.

Was in 'n eenheid (Lobster) geplaas i.p.v. Whale Chalet soos deur ons bespreek. Die verandering het vir ons heelwat ongerief veroorsaak. Met ons aankoms is ons meegedeel dat die gaste wat in die Whale Chalet was en dit moes ontruim, besluit het om eers Saterdag i.p.v. Donderdag te ontruim. Dit was vir ons onaanvaarbaar, maar is net blootweg meegedeel dat dit is ongelukkig hoe dit is.

Disappointing.

Was placed in a unit (Lobster) instead of Whale Chalet as booked by us. The change caused us a lot of inconvenience. Upon our arrival, we were told that the guests who were in the Whale Chalet and had to evacuate it, decided to only leave on Saturday instead. to vacate on Thursday. This was unacceptable to us, but was simply told that this is unfortunately how it is.

Skipskop Chalets 's response

Goeie middag Tommie,

Baie dankie vir die terugvoering.

Dit is met misnoeë om te verneem van u ontevredenheid. As gevolg van die vloedramp wat in en om Swellendam plaasgevind het voor u bespreking kon die kontrakteurs wat in die Whale eenheid gehuisves was nie betyds hul projek klaar gemaak het nie. Hul moes egter langer bly en my ander eenhede was te klein vir hul. Ek het dit goed gedink om u in 'n ruimer eenheid te sit met aparte badkamer met bad wat juis meer gerieflik is aangesien die Whale Chalet slegs oor 'n on-suite badkamer met stort en toilet beskik. U het geensins u ongerief aan ons uitgespreek nie maar wel die skuif bevraagteken. Ons poog egter ten alle tye om ons gaste net die beste of beter akkommodasie te verskaf gedurende hul verblyf.

U is welkom om met myself in verbinding te tree.

Skipskop Groete,
Alta Gouws

Baie lekker en geriewe was doeltreffend.

Lekker gebly alhoewel die eenhede teen die hoofpad was. Rustig gewees alhoewel die diere nie vrylik kon beweeg nie.

Nice stay even though the units were on the main road. It was quiet even though the animals could not move freely.

Not pet friendly.

Although there was a small garden and I was aware that it was not fenced, guests were not warned that it was right next to a busy main road. The owners also have 2 large dogs.

Ongelooflike diens.

Hulle het vir ons gewag tot redelik laat, aangesien daar onvoorsiene omstandighede was wat ons aankoms vertraag het. Hul vriendelikheid was 'n lafenis, en ek kan Skipskop met die grootste vrymoedigheid aanbeveel.

They waited for us until quite late as there were unforeseen circumstances that delayed our arrival. Their kindness was a blessing, and I can recommend Skipskop with the utmost confidence.

Alles was netjies en skoon.

As jy vir volwassenes bespreek verwag jy nie bunker beddens, braai moet nie van bure geleen word nie, nie genoeg stoele om buite te sit nie, moes vra.

Everything was neat and clean.

If you book for adults you don't expect bunker beds, braai should not be borrowed from neighbours, not enough chairs to sit outside, had to ask.

Great and relaxing. Downside, there's no gate.

We enjoyed the relaxing environment, it's just that there's no gate at the premises and therefore it's not safe for children to play outside. The house is right by the main road. Also, there was no couch in the living room to sit and relax.

It was very small for a family, the toilet didn’t work and as a self catering unit it was very basic. The people next door were so loud too.

We would not stay there again, due to the space and there was nowhere to eat, and cooking was a challenge.

Good overnight stay

Skipskop was tidy, the room comfortable and suitable for an overnight stay. Early morning road traffic may bother some, but is not too bad.
