Die wooneenheid en ander verblyf is goed versorg.

Dit was 'n aangename ervaring om in die opgeknapte huisie, wat seker uit die vroeg 1900's dateer, tuis te gaan.

The housing unit and other accommodation are well maintained.

It was a pleasant experience to stay in the renovated cottage, which probably dates from the early 1900s.

Pragtige skoon ruim huisie met heerlike buite kuier en braai area.

Dit is nou regtig 'n fantastiese plek om te bly - skoon, netjies, ruim en goed ingerig. Elke eenheid bied sy eie braai area en is lekker privaat. Die eienaars is baie gasvry en vriendelik. Kan dit regtig aanbeveel.

Beautiful, clean, spacious house with lovely outside visit and braai area.

Now it really is a fantastic place to stay - clean, tidy, spacious and well appointed. Each unit offers its own braai area and is nice and private. The owners are very hospitable and friendly. Can really recommend it.

Heerlike kuier in 'n luukse huis! Ons sien julle gou weer!

Ons het ontsettend lekker gebly by Ta Mala's. Die ruim huise met skoon badkamers wat 'n stort en 'n bad het, was 'n groot bederf. Ons kon ure sit en kuier op Olive huisie se stoep terwyl ons die Prins Albert se besoekers wat in die straat verbyloop, kon groet en ons geniet van die dorp mee kon deel.

Great stay in a luxury home! We'll see you again soon!

We had an amazing stay at Ta Mala's. The spacious houses with clean bathrooms that have a shower and a bath were a great treat. We could sit for hours and hang out on Olive's porch while we could greet Prince Albert's visitors passing by in the street and share our enjoyment of the town with them.

Fantasties, gerieflik, skoon!

Die plek is perfek geleë, ons kon oral loop, ek kon ook van daar af na die fietsry wegspringpunt ry. Alles wat ons nodig gehad het, was daar, asook baie detail soos vuurhoutjies en "fire lighters" en hout teen 'n baie goeie prys. Die beddens was heerlik warm oorgetrek en alles was baie gerieflik.

The place is perfectly located, we could walk everywhere, I could also ride from there to the cycling starting point. Everything we needed was there, as well as many details such as matches and "fire lighters" and wood at a very good price. The beds were wonderfully warm and everything was very comfortable.

Lekker, gemaklike kuier met passievolle eienaars!

Ta Mala is die beste selfsorg eenheid waarin ons nog gebly het na vele besoeke aan Prins Albert. Die eenhede weet wat die besoeker se verwagtinge is, duidelik ondervinding in die bedryf en raakvat. Die huisie is modern, maar met passie vir wat was. Omgee eienaars en alles en nog meer, kom loer self!

Ta Mala is the best self-catering unit we have stayed in after many visits to Prince Albert. The units know what the visitor's expectations are, clearly have experience in the industry and touch. The cottage is modern, but with passion for what was. Caring owners and everything and more, come take a look for yourself!

Rustige verblyf.

Die selfsorg eenheid het alles wat ons nodig gehad het en ons het lekker gebly. Het nie van die lekker braaigedeelte gebruik gemaak nie, want dit was net te koud buite en die sit- en kombuisgedeelte was ook koud, want die lugversorging is in die kamer. Ek wil voorstel dat die haardroeër se koord dalk langer gemaak word, want dit is 'n bietjie kort en ek moes gebukkend staan. Gasvrou het ons baie vriendelik ontvang.

Peaceful stay.

The self-catering unit has everything we needed and we had a great stay. Didn't use the nice barbeque area because it was just too cold outside and the sitting and kitchen area was also cold because the air conditioning is in the room. I would suggest that the hair dryer cord might be made longer as it is a bit short and I had to bend over. Hostess received us very kindly.

Ons kuier by Ta Mala's Self-Catering Cottages was 'n belewenis.

Om 'n tydjie deur te bring in 'n plek wat oor die 100 jaar oud is, gebeur nie altyd. Die eenhede is pragtig gerestoureer en die eenheid is baie netjies. Ons het in Windpomp gebly wat 'n heerlike stoep het wat oor die binnehoftuin uitkyk. Die cottages is een blok vanaf die hoofstraat met die pragtige Swartbergpas Hotel ook net om die hoek.

Baie netjiese verblyf, gerieflik naby alles.

Gasvrou het ekstra moeite met ons bespreking gedoen sonder dat ons daarvoor vra. Verblyf was netjies en ruim en gerieflik naby alles. Ons was 2 groepe en die bespreking is opgegradeer sonder dat ons dit versoek het, ons kon heerlik saam kuier. Gasvrou was baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Die skoonmaakhulp was net so vriendelik en professioneel. Heerlik hier gekuier. Kleinste details word aan gedink.

'n Absolute juweel in die sentrale Karoo.

Ek het vir besigheidsdoeleindes al oral, binne en rondom Prins Albert oorgeslaap. Ta Mala's Self-Catering Cottages was 'n ongelooflike verblyfservaring in Prins Albert, loopsafstand van die dorp en sy besienswaardighede. Uitsonderlik netjies, toegerus met letterlik alles wat nodig is, met heelwat interessante verrassings. Ek gaan terug.

Na 'n langdag op die pad is die plekkie presies wat 'n mense nodig het, vriendelik ontvang, skoon, modern, netjies en alles was presies! Ons het heerlik geslaap en vars en verfris opgestaan vir die dag wat voorlê. Beveel dit vir enige iemand aan en Prins Albert is prentjiemooi!

Ons is gul ontvang. Kortliks en vriendelik ingeburger. Alles wat nodig is vir enige seisoen se verblyf was beskikbaar. Ons kon die Karoo-vriendelikheid en -gerief leef en beleef. Ons kan die verblyf sonder voorbehoud aanbeveel.

Dit was 'n absolute wonderlike ervaring op pad terug vanaf Oudtshoorn na ons huis, het ons die lang pad om terug gevat. Die kothuise is warm en baie goed ingerig en ons het die natuurskone Prins Albert al te meer geniet as gevolg van die juweel.

Ta Mala's Self-Catering Cottages 's response

Beste Andre, ek is baie bly dat julle die verblyf by TaMala as 5-ster beleef het.
Dit maak my hart bly dat julle dit geniet het. Ek vra om verskoning dat ek nie in persoon kom draai het nie, Woensdag met julle aankoms was ek tot 17:00 in my gallery. Donderdag was ek vir die dag in Oudtshoorn en het 18:00 teruggekom by die huis.
Jy het wel die eienaar, my man Dewald, ontmoet. Ek was ook deurentyd met jou in gesprek via die foon, boodskappe asook e-posse. Ons eerste gesprek was telefonies. Ek het jou bygestaan deur julle eenheid sonder koste te verander op jou aanvraag. Verder het ek vir julle plek bespreek by 'n restaurant en dit met jou gekommunikeer, telefonies asook per SMS. Ons was ook in gesprek met julle aankoms.
Ek kon julle nie in persoon ontvang nie, want ek is daagliks in my gallery maar my assistent het julle vriendelik ontvang. Sy het ook daagliks julle eenheid gediens. Ek het in die twee dae met jou gekommunikeer i.v.m. die betaling.
As gevolg van beurtkrag elke aand was dit moeilik om kaarttransaksies te doen, maar ek het met jou gekommunikeer aangaande die alternatief. Ons het weereens die oggend gekommunikeer met SMS toe julle vertrek het. Dis teleurstellend om te sien dat jy die bogenoemde as 'n 2 uit 5 kliënte diens evalueer.
Ek hoop om volgende keer beter te doen.
Vriendelike groete, Erika.

Voortreflik,

U kan gerus hier oorbly. Ek het in Windpomp geslaap en dit ruim, netjies, skoon, keurig gemeubileer en gerieflik gevind. Die wit linne was kraakvars en die matras baie gerieflik. Ek is vriendelik ontvang deur Dewald wat selfs my swaar koelboks na my eenheid toe gedra het, en weer terug kar toe by my vertrek.

Gerieflike verblyf in 'n rustige omgewing.

Ek het heerlik gekuier by Ta Mala's, ek was werklik aangenaam verras deur die plek. Ek waardeer dit daar so baie gedoen is om die oorspronklike karakter van die huisie te behou sonder om enigsins gerieflikheid in te boet. Daar is alle moontlike geriewe om 'n heerlike verblyf te verseker, en nog 'n paar ekstras, soos die buitestort en swembad om in af te koel. Die ligging is perfek, binne stapafstand van alles af. Ek sal baie graag weer daar wil oorslaap en kan die verblyf met sekerheid aanbeveel.

There are all possible amenities to ensure a wonderful stay, and a few extras, such as the outdoor shower and swimming pool to cool off in. The location is perfect, within walking distance of everything. I would very much like to spend the night there again and can recommend the accommodation with certainty.

Ek het in die Aloe kothuis gewoon. Dit is heerlik ruim, met 'n nuwe badkamer en groot stoep wat namiddae lekker in die skaduwee is. Daar is ook 'n gasbraaier, wat baie handig is vir vinnig 'n vleisie gaarmaak. Goeie WiFi en Netflix was handig vir vermaak in die aand.

Verskeie goedjies wat pla

Slegte reuk by voordeur van septiese tenk. Voordeur het geen blinding en sit teen straat so geen privaatheid en as jy nie kamer deur toe hou nie kan mense inkyk. Gevolglik raak die kamer baie bedompig. Kussing is of te hoog en hard of te plat.

Various things that bother

Bad smell at front door of septic tank. Front door has no blinds and faces the street so no privacy and if you don't close the room door people can look in. As a result, the room becomes very stuffy. Pillow is either too high and hard or too flat.

Ta Mala's Self-Catering Cottages 's response

Beste Naomi, ek is vreeslik jammer vir jou slegte ervaring.
Baie dankie vir die voorstel dat daar 'n blinding by die voordeur moet wees. Dit is die heel eerste keer dat iemand dit as 'n probleem sien en verseker iets waarna ek sal kyk.
Wat betref die reuk by die voordeur, Prince Albert is 250 jaar oud en die dorp se riool stelsel is nog van die suig sisteem. Daar is ongelukkig niks wat ons daaraan kan doen nie. Die munisipaleit suig die riool weekliks en wanneer iemand se drein voor dit vol raak word hulle gekontak. Ongelukkig het ons geen beheer daaroor nie maar bestuur dit so goed moontlik.
Wat kussings betref, soos wat jy met reg opgemerk het is daar twee stywer kussings en twee sagter kussings. Dit is uiters moeilik om in elke persoon se individuele behoeftes te voorsien, maar ons gaan uit ons pad om verskillende opsies daar te stel. Die meeste mense is gewoonlik tevrede met een van die twee.
Ek is jammer dat ons nie in jou voorkeur kon voorsien nie.

Vrede op aarde in 'n stil Karoodorp. Ta Mala bring die mooi van oud na die moderne. Dit voel soos 'n tuiste weg van jou tuiste.

Ta Mala se ligging is lekker sentraal en ek en my vrou kon na alles stap in die dorp. Die rondstap maak die Prins Albert Karoodorp-ervaring soveel meer bekoorlik.

Peace on earth in a quiet Karoodorp. Ta Mala brings the beauty of the ancient to the modern. It feels like a home away from home.

Ta Mala's location is nice and central and my wife and I could walk to everything in town. The walk around makes the Prins Albert Karoodorp experience that much more charming.

Spesiale plekkie met goeie afwerking in 'n rustige area.

Die Meerkat cottage is perfek vir twee mense en ons sal beslis wil teruggaan. Die detail en afwerking waarmee die cottage restoureer was is baie spesiaal en sorg vir 'n unieke ervaring. Die cottage is net so twee blokke weg van die sentrale dorp waar meeste eetplekke geleë is so dit is maklik om rond te stap vanaf Ta Mala's. Erika was ook baie goed met kommunikasie wat bygedra het tot 'n lekker ervaring.

Erika was also very good with communication which contributed to a nice experience.

Dit is die netjieste, ongelooflikste, goedversorgde plekkie wat jy kan kry. Die mooiste, mooiste oudhede. My kinders was gelukkig en wou nie terugkeer nie. Alles wat jy moontlik kan benodig is daar, en die volgrootte yskas met die kleinspan was baie welkom. 'n Moet vir enige gesin. 'n Stukkie paradys!

Bekostigbare, goed toegeruste, eenheid met pragtige dekor.

Ons was aangenaam verras toe ons moeg vanaf die Weskus by Ta Mala's arriveer om te oornag. Volledige kombuis, badkamer met groot stort en bad. Deurgaans is gehaltelinne gebruik en verwarming is ook aan aandag gegee al was dit nie nodig om die elektriese kombers of lugversorging te gebruik nie. Wat egter indrukwekkend was, was om te leer hoe Ta Mala's tot stand gekom het en foto's te sien van hoeveel moeite in die restourasie ingesit is. As gereelde reisigers het ons nog nie van verblyf gebruik gemaak waar daar soveel moeite gedoen is met restourasie en dekor nie. Dis heerlik om in so huislike atmosfeer oor te bly, het gevoel asof ons die eienaars goed ken toe ons die volgende oggend vroeg vertrek het. Eenheid was pynlik netjies en natuurlik was die onderdakbraai vir my 'n bonus.

Affordable, well equipped, unit with beautiful decor.

We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived tired from the West Coast at Ta Mala's to spend the night. Full kitchen, bathroom with large shower and tub. Throughout, quality linen was used and attention was also paid to heating, although it was not necessary to use the electric blanket or air conditioning. What was impressive, however, was learning how Ta Mala's came about and seeing photos of how much effort went into the restoration. As regular travelers, we have not yet used accommodation where so much effort has been put into restoration and decor. It's lovely to stay in such a homely atmosphere, felt like we knew the owners well when we left early the next morning. Unit was painstakingly tidy and of course the undercover braai was a bonus for me.

Lovely place, but noisy.

The cottage was lovely, clean and spacious. However, the noise coming from the loft's floor boards made sleeping quite difficult.

'n Stukkie nostalgie!

Wanneer 'n mens deur die asemrowende omgewing van die Swartberge reis en onder die indruk kom van 'n ou-ou bergpas met sy stories van mense wat daaraan gebou het, en jy stop uiteindelik in Prins Albert voor 'n ou huis wat daardie selfde oudheid adem, voel jy klein en nietig en wil jy net vir 'n paar oomblikke stil wees en nadink oor die lewe van gister en eergister en vandag. Ons het die voorreg gehad om in die Meerkat-kamer tuis te gaan. Dit is oud. En luuks. Aangrypend. 'n Belewenis wat jy nie moet mis nie.

A bit of nostalgia!

When one travels through the breathtaking surroundings of the Black Mountains and comes under the impression of an ancient mountain pass with its stories of people who built on it, and you finally stop in Prince Albert in front of an old house that is that same antiquity breathe, do you feel small and insignificant and just want to be quiet for a few moments and reflect on the life of yesterday and the day before yesterday and today. We had the privilege of staying in the Meerkat room. It is old. And luxury. Touching. An experience you should not miss.

Baie dankie vir hierdie besondere opsomming van alles waarvoor TaMala's staan. Die karoo en Prince Albert lë na aan ons harte en ons wou so graag hierdie hartsboodskap oordra in elke huisie. Meerkat is die toonbeeld van karoo leefstyl 250 jaar gelede. Ons is so bly julle het dit geniet. Ons hoop om julle weer te sien.

Friendly reception, beautiful interior, lovely bed linen.

It was a lovely place to stay. If you travel with friends, make sure you book the two interleading units. Unfortunately we only stayed for one night and we will definitely recommend Ta Mala's to future guests. Clean, spacious, crafty interior and everything that was needed. The full size fridges were welcome - most places have bar fridges that can be quite problematic at times. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place with us.

Lovely and quaint.

Little step in hallway to lounge and bedroom was a nightmare death trap for us frail people as we tripped and fell before we put suitcases there to prevent it happening. Always having to be aware. Also, the braai grid was not clean. Also, I was concerned about no off-street parking, but no problem. Otherwise great accommodation.

My man was aanvanklik skepties toe ons voor die huisie stilhou, maar na 'n rukkie in die vriendelike ruimte het ek besef dat ek Meerkat al in 'n tydskrif gesien het en was opgewonde. Alles perfek. Dankie vir 'n goeie nagrus.

Ta Mala's is aan te bevele.

Ta Mala's se Windpomphuisie is skoon en toegerus met enige iets wat jy mag nodig hê. Dit is lekker sentraal geleë en veilig. Ons het heerlik gebly. Die enigste probleem is dat die betalery moeilik is omdat mens tot 09:00 moet wag vir die skoonmaker om jou betaling met 'n kaartmasjien te doen. Ons wou graag vroeg vertrek, maar kon nie, omdat ons vir haar moes wag om te betaal. Daar is ongelukkig nie 'n ander betaal opsie nie.

Ta Mala's is recommended.

Ta Mala's Windmill House is clean and equipped with anything you may need. It is centrally located and safe. We had a wonderful stay. The only problem is that the payment is difficult because you have to wait until 09:00 for the cleaner to make your payment with a card machine. We wanted to leave early but couldn't because we had to wait for her to pay. Unfortunately, there is no other payment option.

'n Verrassing.

Ons het nie geweet die huis het 'n rietdakplafon nie. My man is baie allergies vir stof en dit is nooit vir ons 'n opsie nie. Verder het die huis 'n sterk Doom-reuk gehad wat iemand met allergieë nie bevoordeel nie. Ek dink hulle spuit dit om die goggas uit te hou. Daar was geen goggas of ongediertes nie. Verder is die eienaar baie gaaf en het ons geen klagtes nie, ek dink vir mense wat nie so sensitief vir stof is nie, kan dit baie goed werk.

This review is being shown in its original language.

A surprise.

We didn't know the house had a thatched ceiling. My husband is very allergic to dust and this is never an option for us. Furthermore, the house had a strong Doom smell which does not favor someone with allergies. I think they spray it to keep the bugs out. There were no bugs or vermin. Furthermore, the owner is very nice and we have no complaints, I think for people who are not so sensitive to dust, it can work very well.

Alles en nog wat! Uitstekende verblyf in die pragtige Prins Albert.

Heerlike verblyf, die prys lyk bietjie swaar as jy bespreek, maar dit is elke sent die moeite werd. Heerlik afgekoel in die plons-poel. Baie goeie aandag aan detail. Ons het gedog die muskietnet is dekoratief, toe nie! Lekker braaigeriewe en die doodse stilte wat net die Karoo kan bied.

Woning was baie netjies en goed toegerus met alles wat jy nodig het. Ek hou van die privaatheid en sekerlik die flinke manier waarop verblyf bekom kon word en die gasvryheid, selfs in die afwesigheid van die eienaar. As gereelde reisiger beveel ek enige tyd Ta Mala aan. Baie dankie.

Prentjieboek mooi verblyf.

Ons het in die winter 2 nagte by Ta Mala's spandeer. Die huisies is ou tradisionele huise wat pragtig gerestoureer is, so dit is modern en tog outyds. Alles wat jy nodig het is in die huise. Vir die winter het dit 'n kaggel en winter beddegoed, so ons het nie koud gekry nie. Ta Mala's is perfek geleë, na genoeg aan die dorp om die dorpie te voet te verken, maar ver genoeg dat die verkeer in die hoofstraat nie pla.

Dit was 'n wonderlike dag, Oujaarsaand en ons het dit baie geniet.

Die kamers, kombuis en toilette was baie netjies, skoon en pragtig. Die enigste dinge wat ek sou vra vir volgende keer is: 1. Kitskoffie - daar was 'n klein bietjie koffie, maar dit was gemaalde koffie, maar ons het geen masjien gesien wat gemaalde koffie sou gebruik het nie. 2. In die slaapkamers is daar lugversorging maar selfs met al die ligte af en die gordyne toe is daar te veel lig in die kamer om ordentlik te kan slaap weens die lig van die lugversorging. As hulle miskien masking tape of so iets kan verskaf om oor die ligte te plak sou dit 'n groot verskil maak. Anders was dit pragtig en baie lekker verblyf. Baie dankie!

It was a wonderful day, New Year's Eve and we enjoyed it a lot.

The rooms, kitchen and toilets were very neat, clean and beautiful. The only things I would ask for next time would be: 1. instant coffee- there was a little bit of coffee, but it was ground coffee, but we didn't see a machine that could use ground coffee. 2. In the bedrooms there is aircon but even with all the lights off and the curtains closed there is too much light in the room to be able to sleep properly, because of the aircon's light. If they could maybe put masking tape or something over it it would make a big difference. Otherwise it was beautiful and very nice accommodation. Thank you!

Baie dankie vir u terugvoer. Kitskoffie moet daar wees en ek vra om verskoning. Binne in die kombuiskas is 'n plunger om van die gemaalde koffie te gebruik. Die plunger was dalk net so gebêre dat dit nie duidelik sigbaar was nie. Wat betref die led liggie van die lugversorger, op die afstandbeheer is daar 'n knoppie wat hierdie irriterende liggie afskakel. Ons het melding gemaak daarvan in die brosjure wat in die eenhede beskikbaar is. Nogmaals dankie vir 'n terugvoer en ook ondersteuning, sonder dit kan ons nie die diens lewer en verbeter op foute nie.

Overpriced.

The price for this unit should be a room and not self-catering. No indoor shower. No room to move. Too much squashed in a small space. Cleaners also wanted us out at 8 am. It was not a good visit. Disappointing.

Ta Mala's Self-Catering Cottages 's response

Dear Michelle
Meerkat cottage is 250 years old. We went out of our way to preserve the charm of years ago. Meerkat is not a modern luxurious guest unit but rather a gem from the past. This information is well documented on our website, with up to date photographs. We are well aware of the fact that not everybody will appreciate Meerkat Cottage.

Check out time at all our units is 10:00. We do however, allow guests on request, to stay longer if needed. We even let our cleaning staff start their work at 09:00 during weekends to accommodate guests. All this said, we want to apologise for the fact that you did not enjoy your stay at Meerkat Cottage.

Kind regards,
Dewald and Erika

Dit was 'n wonderlike aand in 'n fantastiese huisie!

Het die aand in die gerestoureerde huisie baie geniet! Die geriewe was netjies, skoon en meer as voldoende! Ek sal definitief weer 'n draai daar maak!

Dit was 'n salige wegbreek en ruskans in 'n plek wat met groot moeite en sorg voorberei is.

Ek het in Meerkat gebly. Alles was so netjies en spesiaal, tot die blommetjies in die badkamer. Die buitestort was 'n belewenis, met die maan en die sterre wat vir jou loer! Alles is baie prakties en toeganklik gemaak, die bed het heerlik geslaap, en die stoele onder die prieel was baie gebruik! Wens ek kon die braai of kaggel benut het, maar die naweek was te vinnig om. Baie dankie dat ek daar kon oorbly ─ 'n voorreg om in 'n kunstig versorgde plek met 'n groot geskiedenis te kon oorslaap!

It was a blissful getaway and chance to rest in a place that is prepared with a lot of care.

I stayed in Meerkat. Everything was so neat and special, to the flowers in the bathroom. The shower outside was an experience with the moon and stars that peep at you! Everything was very practical and accessible, the bed was very comfortable, and the chairs under the bower were used a lot! Wish I could have used the braai or fireplace, but the weekend was just too short. Thank you very much that I was able to stay there - a privilege to sleep in a tastefully decorated place with a lot of history.

Klassieke Karoo-huis met pragtige kamers.

Ek het Prins Albert besoek vir 'n konferensie. Drie nagte gebly. 'n Pragtige gerestoureerde huisie, baie gerieflik, baie skoon, en baie atmosferies. Ek het sommer buite die huis op die sypaadjie geparkeer, en dit was heel veilig. Dit was 'n wonderlike ervaring.

Heerlik oornag in die ontspanne omgewing.

Sal enige tyd weer in gebruik maak van die fasiliteite. Vanaf die aanvanklike reëlings, die verblyf tot en met die vertrek was alles perfek. Ons het in Windpomp gebly en sal hom definitief weer kies. Baie dankie Erika.

Ons het in "Windpomp" gebly. 'n Pragtige eenheid met soveel karakter uit vervloë dae. Alles was baie skoon en netjies. Die eenheid is baie goed toegerus vir selfsorg. Ons beveel dit beslis aan en sal self definitief in die toekoms weer daarvan gebruik maak.

Wonderlike, knus, ouwêreldse verblyf!

Ons het in Meerkat tuisgegaan (Okt 2016). Dit is die perfekte ou kothuisie, kompleet met antieke meubels, kerse, lampies, 'n muskietnet, koolstofie, 'n reuse bad en 'n buite stort. Dit het alles wat jy nodig het om rus vir jou siel te vind (pak 'n lekker leesboek en borrelbad in!). Verder het die Ta Mala-span werklik uit hulle pad gegaan om die viering van ons huweliksherdenking spesiaal te maak: 'n reuse bos blomme en vonkelwyn in die yskas het die romantiese, ouwêreldse gevoel van die huisie mooi afgerond.

Wonderful, cozy, old world charm!

We stayed in Meerkat (Oct. 2016). Perfect little cottage, even with ancient furniture, candles, lamps, musquitoe-net, coal stove, large bath and outdoor shower. Has everything you need to find peace for your soul (remember to bring a good book and some bubble bath!). Ta Mala's team went out of their way to make our wedding anniversery very special: huge bouquet of flowers and sparkling wine in the fridge completed the romantic, old-world atmofphere in the little house.

Ons het die verblyf baie geniet. Die vertrekke is met goeie kwaliteit items versier, slaapgoed is vars en netjies. Lugversorger in slaapkamer was n bonus in Desember. Fietse was beskikbaar om mee die dorp te verken! Goeie waarde vir geld.

Rustig, skoon, gemaklik en veilig.

Die huisie is baie mooi gerestoureer met spesiale stukke wat dit 'n baie lekker gesellige gevoel gee. Alles was netjies, skoon en gemaklik. Die snoesige kamerjas was 'n bonus. Dit is sentraal geleë en stapafstand vanaf die dorp, maar jy het ook nie al die gemaal op jou voorstoep nie, wat dit lekker rustig maak vir 'n middagslapie. Uitstekende verblyf, sal dit definitief aanbeveel.

Quiet, clean, comfortable and safe.

The house has been very nicely restored with special pieces that give it a very cozy feeling. Everything was neat, clean and comfortable. The cozy dressing gown was a bonus. It's centrally located and walking distance from town, but you also don't have all the hustle and bustle on your doorstep, which makes it nice and quiet for an afternoon nap. Excellent stay, would definitely recommend.

Lieflik!

Wat 'n heerlike verrassing om by Ta Mala in te stap met prentjiemooi dekor. Windpomp is 'n heerlike kuierhuis en ten volle ingerig. Ons het net ondervind dat Meerkat nie heeltemal toegerus is vir selfsorg nie. Die buitestort is 'n groot bederf, maar beslis net somertyd, tensy jy dapper genoeg is om dit in die winter te trotseer. Baie geluk en dankie aan Erica en familie!

Lovely!

What a lovely surprise to walk into Ta Mala with picture perfect decor. Windpomp is a lovely holiday home and fully furnished. We just found that Meerkat is not fully equipped for self-care. The outdoor shower is a big treat, but definitely only in summer, unless you're brave enough to brave it in winter. Congratulations and thanks to Erica and family!
