Was net 'n oornag gewees.

Baie vriendelike diens. Ongelukkig wys die verblyf tekens van ontwykende instandhouding. Netjies en skoon gewees vir 'n oornag. Waarde vir geld gewees.

Was just an overnight stay.

Very friendly service. Unfortunately, the accommodation shows signs of evasive maintenance. Neat and clean for an overnight stay. Been value for money.

Wouldn't give it any stars if it was possible.

The only stars to be celebrated are the welcoming and accommodating staff members. Dusty, house is unkept, pool is unkept, the mattresses are terrible and the facilities are poor. Definitely won't recommend this place.

Die bed is regtig gerieflik.

Ons verwelkoming was hartlik, die kamer was skoon. Die vloer en die stort se vloer is nie heeltemal op standaard nie, maar dit was skoon. Die nadele was die volgende: Die koffie in ons kamer was al hard in die botteltjie, so ons het ons eie koffie gaan koop. Daar was nie vars water nie, die beker was half. Die handdoeke is die ergste, dit is nie op standaard nie, die een was vol fraaiings gewees, so ons het net een handdoek gebruik. Met min moeite kan dit regtig die gastehuis wees wat dit bedoel is. Handdoeke, twee lakens op die bed, water in die yskas, 'n eerlikheidsyskas, dalk 'n beskuitjie. Maar ons het baie lekker geslaap en gestort en die grootste voordeel is die feit dat die krag nooit afgegaan het nie, daar is sekerlik 'n sonkragstelsel.

The bed is really comfortable.

Our welcome was warm, the room was clean. The floor and the shower floor are not quite up to standard, but they were clean. The disadvantages were the following: The coffee in our room was already hard in the bottle, so we went to buy our own coffee. There was no fresh water, the cup was half full. The towels are the worst, they are not up to standard, one was full of frills, so we only used one towel. With little effort, it can really be the guest house it's meant to be. Towels, two sheets on the bed, water in the fridge, an honesty fridge, maybe a biscuit. But we slept and showered very well and the biggest advantage is the fact that the power never went out, there is definitely a solar system.

Not my type of guest house.

Older place needs a revamp.

The first morning the guests that arrived was a bit loud while we were sleeping, but after that it was fine. The room is a bit awkward as the TV is on the left and the bed is facing the opposite of the bathroom so it was very awkward to watch TV. I would suggest to have the bed opposite the TV to be able to watch TV properly, but overall stay was good.

I love that the guest house was close to shops for us and that it is in a good area, and the guest house itself was nice secured for our vehicle.

Baie ongemaklik.

Badkamer het gewone glas as 'n ruit, verder is daar ook net 'n baie deurskynende kantgordyn voor die venster. Dus geen privaatheid in badkamer nie. Wasbak in badkamer het geen koue water nie, het probeer on gesig met stomende water te was in die oggend, kon glad nie tandeborsel nie, die water was te warm. Die gasvryheid "shampoo and body wash" is nie eens vervang van die vorige gas af nie, en was halfpad gebruik. Sekuriteitswag sit in ontvangsportaal deur die nag, en die geringste beweging wat hy maak resoneer deur hele gebou, dit hou mens uit die slaap uit.

Very uncomfortable.

Bathroom has plain glass as a pane, otherwise there is also only a very sheer lace curtain in front of the window. So no privacy in bathroom. Sink in bathroom has no cold water, tried to wash my face with steaming water in the morning, couldn't brush my teeth at all, the water was too hot. The hospitality "shampoo and body wash" was not even replaced from the previous guest, and was half way used. Security guard sits in reception hall all night, and the slightest movement he makes resonates throughout the building, it keeps you awake.

Insecure after previous break-in,.

Poor reception, room door could not close properly, would ask for separate single beds but two men had to share "double bed feeling". Another door with glass where anyone can peek in at night.
