Was baie gerieflik.

Ons het heerlik daar gebly. Alhoewel DStv kanale sal beter wees as Netflix.

Was very comfortable.

We had a great stay there. Although DStv channels would be better than Netflix.

It was good but definitely not the best.

Our stay was good. A few things to consider: the front door handle is way too close to the edge. Both of us have injuries on the knuckles. The bed was the worst; I couldn't sleep for the two nights. The bed needs to be replaced. I haven't seen the hosts at all; instructions were given via WhatsApp.

The Aloe 's response

The Aloe has earned Super Host status every year since 2022. The host and co-host always welcome constructive comments and reviews. However, guests must flag hosts should they have special requests. The bed in the unit has been selected that is specific to the industry and a year old. The host made every effort to communicate with the guest but was met with silence and a lack of interest. The host and co-host are mindful of guests' privacy and breakaway time and therefore respect their private and stress-free check-in. Our Super Host status on another platform speaks for itself...

The Aloe is gerieflik geleë. Het daar oornag oppad na Kimberley.

Definitief waarde vir geld. Net bietjie gesukkel om in die donker en reën die sleutelkissie by die hek oop te maak. My man moes kom help. Moontlik 'n veiligheidsrisiko as 'n vrou alleen daar moet stop. Die verblyf was egter puik.

The Aloe is conveniently located. Stayed overnight on the way to Kimberley.

Definitely value for money. Just had a little trouble opening the key box at the gate in the dark and rain. My husband had to come and help. Possibly a safety risk if a woman has to stop there alone. However, the stay was great.

Comfort, cleanliness, tranquil, well managed, faultless.

It was so perfect one almost doesn't want to give it the perfect grading for fear of it always being booked up! What can I say? We lived at 3 different places over the 2 weeks and the Aloe is the only one worth the time. A perfect home away from home in every aspect. All the comfort, luxury and necessities at the most affordable rates.

Rustig.

Baie privaat, lekker rustig gekuier. Die gasheer en gasvrou was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. 'n Seepbakkie in die stort sal baie help, asb. tog.

Very private, nice quiet visit. The host and hostess were very friendly and helpful. A bowl of soap in the shower would help a lot, please. yet.

Baie goeie ervaring. Defnitief waarde vir geld.

Pragtig netjies en skoon. Lekker groot badkamer met bad en stort. Genoeg pakplek. Alles in werkende toestand behalwe lig in die kombuis wat heeltyd aan- en afskakel. Seker 'n los konneksie iewers. Daar is voorsiening vir beurtkrag met 'n kragboksie sodat die TV kan aanbly en 'n selfoon gecharge kan word. Ons sou net daarvan gehou het as daar 'n afdakkie vir ons motor was.

Very good experience. Definitely value for money.

Beautifully neat and clean. Nice big bathroom with bath and shower. Enough storage space. Everything in working order except light in the kitchen which keeps turning on and off. Probably a loose connection somewhere. There is provision for load shedding with a power box so that the TV can stay on and a mobile phone can be charged. We would have loved it if there was a carport for our car.

Ons het lekker gebly, al was dit vir een aand en kort tyd.

Very comfortable with more amenities than advertised.

The Aloe is a jewel. Excellent security from start to finish. Ample parking space right at the entrance, so no lugging things over long distances. The cottage is as per photographs, with the bathroom better than the idea you get from the photos. It has a large bath, spacious shower with a comfortable basin and drawers below, plus a toilet all behind a very silent sliding door. The kitchen also has an electric hotplate and a portable single plate gas cooker, along with a few pots so you can prepare simple meals. There is a large screen TV with new-fangled internet that's a little ahead of our age, but we did manage to view a few good programmes despite our ignorance. Our hostess, Sharon, was amazing and was in contact with us from about 10:30 until we arrived at around 17:30. Then there is the garden. For many, the large water feature would be the central attraction. For us, the vast collection of indigenous cycads was the highlight, some of which are hundreds of years old. Beautiful tree aloes on each side of the entrance must also be quite old. There is also a host of other plants all over, and every time you look, there's another that you had not seen. Luckily for us, it is October, so the Jacarandas were in full bloom, and in places, bright Bougainvillea filled in the Jacaranda flowers. The garden is to die for. All this, plus great hospitality at the most competitive rate you'll find. Well done, you guys. We'll be back if our activities take us in that direction again, for sure.
