Gemengde gevoelens oor die plek.

Sal ek dit aanbeveel - ek weet eerlikwaar nie. Toe ons daar aangekom het die aand, was daar geen elektrisiteit en dus ook geen water (koud of warm) nie. Ek verstaan dit was buite hulle beheer, maar geen backup plan is gemaak nie. Net vir ons te sê hulle verstaan as ons nie wil bly nie, is nie eintlik aanvaarbaar nie. Ons het ver gereis, waarheen sou ons dan gegaan het? Die huisie was skoon genoeg, alhoewel die kombuis bietjie stowwerig was. Beddens effens ongemaklik, en die hoofslaapkamer is baie klein. Die kaste het basies net hangplek. Stoele buite is ook op hulle laaste bene. Oor die algemeen was dit nie net sleg nie, maar ek dink ek nie ek sou dit kan aanbeveel vir langer as 'n naweek nie.

Mixed feelings about the place.

Would I recommend it - I honestly don't know. When we got there in the evening, there was no electricity and therefore no water (cold or hot). I understand it was out of their control, but no backup plan was made. Just telling us they understand if we don't want to stay is not really acceptable. We have traveled far, so where would we go? The cottage was clean enough, although the kitchen was a bit dusty. Beds a bit uncomfortable, and the master bedroom is very small. The cupboards basically only have hanging space. Chairs outside are also on their last legs. Overall, not only was it bad, but I don't think I could recommend it for more than a weekend.

St Lucia Wilds 's response

Ek is jammer dat die verblyf onaangenaam was. Die afgelope drie dae was stresvol met Eskom se aan- en afskakelings, wat ons ook geraak het. Ongelukkig is die geiser nie op die kragopwekker nie, so ons kon nie warm water voorsien nie. Daar is egter altyd koue water in die krane en toilette, en die kombuis het ’n gasstoof en sonkragligte. Die slaapkamers het herlaaiende ligte, maar die kragonderbrekings het dit beïnvloed.

Ek het opreg probeer om ander akkommodasie met warm water vir julle te vind, maar dit sou dalk effens ongerieflik gewees het om te skuif. Ons dorp het ander blyplekke en ek sou gehelp het om iets te reël. Ons waterstelsel werk met ’n drukpomp, maar die nuwe pomp is te sterk vir die kragopwekker, en die water sou steeds koud gewees het.

Die een slaapkamer is jare gelede klein gebou en kan ongelukkig nie verander word nie, maar die leefarea is groot met ’n hoë plafon vir ekstra ruimte. Meeste mense verkies om hul tyd in die leefarea te spandeer eerder as in die slaapkamers. Dit is moeilik om almal se behoeftes vir beddens, matrasse en kussings te voorsien. Die huisie is ingerig vir kort verblyf, maar ons sal beslis meer laaie en rakke in die kaste installeer.

Ek vra omverskoning oor die stowwerigheid; dit is moeilik om dit te beheer met oop vensters en die agterdeur wat oop was terwyl die wind gewaai het. Ons het nie stukkende tuinstoele gevind nie, maar ek is jammer dat julle nie die verblyf geniet het nie en dat julle nie enige van die probleme met ons bespreek het nie. Nogmaals, jammer dat die verblyf onaangenaam was.

Very quiet place in cul de sac, very friendly hosts.

Although the one bedroom is a little narrow, the unit can accommodate four persons easily, with extra two beds in the lounge, if you want to stretch it. The kitchen has everything which is required in for a self-catering unit. Although we were warned about roaming monkeys, mossies and water shortage, we did not really experience any problems. WiFi was available in our unit. The best part was the hosting family, which was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Thank you Anna for the cake!

Teleurstellend.

Het bedgoggas gekry saam met een ander gas. Byte het een week geneem om beter te word. Eienaars is ook baie nuuskierig en kom kyk die heeltyd wat mens maak by die plek en luister af na gesprekke. Plek was netjies maar die goggas was nie na wense nie.

Disappointing.

Had bed bugs with one other guest. Bites took one week to get better. Owners are also very curious and come to see what people are doing at the place all the time and eavesdrop on conversations. Place was neat but the bugs were not to our liking.

St Lucia Wilds 's response

Dankie, julle het julle persoonlike sake bespreek in 'n publieke swembad asook die tuin en dit is gehoor, ongelukkig.

Oor die bed-goggas, julle was gewaarsku oor die muskiete en in die informasie gids is ook gewaarsku oor warm-as muggies. Julle was buite vroeg aand, laat aand middernag en baie vroeg oggend, so ek is seker julle is voos gebyt. Julle het ook nie eens die muskietnet deur en deur toegemaak nie en so geslaap.

Ongelukkig verskyn die warm-as byte eers na 12 tot 24 uur en omdat dit so baie byte opmekaar is dink mense gewoonlik eerste, dis bed goggas. Dit neem lank om te herstel en soms is mense allergies vir die byte en maak dit lelike bulte en septies, wanneer dit stukkend gekrap word. Jammer julle is gebyt.

Vriendelike groete

Baie goed, genoeg rus en stilte, maar tog naby aan besighede en toerismefasiliteite.

Goeie ontvangs. Verblyf goed in ruim voorkamer, maar kamer met dubbelbed te min spasie (veral vir bejaardes wat moeilik beweeg). Ander slaapkamer met twee enkelbeddens beslis ruimer en ook met lugversorger. Kombuisarea goed ingerig en alle kombuisware vir maklike en goeie kosvoorbereiding. Naby genoeg aan restaurante, winkels, ens. Diens ook goed om besprekings op bv. bootrit te hanteer. Geen veiligheidsomheining aan voorkant van huisies - geen probleme gehad nie, maar was bekommerd. In geheel egter goeie verblyf wat ons weer sal gebruik

Very good, enough peace and quiet, but close enough to businesses and toursit facilities.

Good reception. Good accommodation in spacious atrium, but room with double bad doensn't have enough space (difficult for older peopel to move around). The other room with twin beds definitely has more space and it has air con also. Well-appointed kitchen area with everything you need to prepare delicious food. Close enough to shops, restaurants, etc. Good service to make bookings from boat cruise. No safety hedge infront of houses - no issues but we wera a bit worried. All in all good accommodation, we'll be back.

Baie dankie vir die positiewe oorsig van die 2 slaapkamer tuin kothuis. Dis jammer die slaapkamer is klein en ongemaklik in sekere gevalle. Ons is nie onveilig nie maar kan verstaan dat sekere sigbare items mense laat veilig voel. Jammer daaroor, ons sal veranderinge maak. Ons is gewoond aan diere wat regdeur die erf loop ens. en ons fokus is anders. Groete.

We had everything we needed, except water. This is due to the drought and not St Lucia Wilds. Enjoy your stay!

Te lekke.

Imelda en haar span was puik van dag een af, huisies is skoon en toegerus met als wat nodig is. Imelda was baie behulpsaam met aanwysings na plekke en goedkoper winkels (Spar verskriklik duur). Ons as gesin veral met 'n 7-jarige het lekke gebly, omgewing ook baie rustig. Dankie St Lucia Wilds vir die lekke kuier by julle, sal weer terugkeer na julle toe.

Imelda and her team were great from day one, cottages are clean and equipped with everything needed. Imelda was very helpful with directions to places and cheaper shops (Spar terribly expensive). We as a family especially with a 7 year old had a great stay, environment also very peaceful. Thank you St Lucia Wilds for the lovely visit with you, will return to you again.

Gemengde gevoelens.

St Lucia Wilds het 'n voortdurende watervoorsieningsprobleem. Hulle skakel die pomp aan op sekere tye en as 'n mens daarom kan werk, sal dit seker nie 'n probleem wees nie. Hulle was tegemoetkomend teenoor ons deurdat ons toegelaat is om die pomp te gaan aanskakel wanneer ek van die viswaters af terugkom om te gaan stort. Daar was egter min mense, so dit sal nie geld as die plek vol is nie. Die flatlet waar ons ingeboek was, is deel van 'n baie ou huis, en alles is skoon, maar basies en net so oud soos die huis. Buite lyk die plek of onderhoud nie 'n hoe prioriteit is nie. Ek sou aanbeveel dat gaste ten minste voor die tyd ingelig word van die water reëlings. My vrou was nie baie gelukkig oor die situasie nie. Vir LekkeSlaap kan ek net aanbeveel. Goeie diens.

Mixed feelings.

St Lucia Wilds has an ongoing water supply problem. They turn on the pump at certain times and if one can work around it, it probably won't be a problem. They were accommodating to us by allowing us to turn on the pump when I came back from the fishing waters to take a shower. However, there were few people, so it won't apply if the place is full. The flatlet we were booked into is part of a very old house, and everything is clean, but basic and just as old as the house. From the outside, the location or maintenance does not seem to be a priority. I would recommend that guests are at least informed ahead of time of the water arrangements. My wife was not very happy about the situation. I can only recommend LekkeSlaap. Good service.
