Very safe, warm and friendly.

Very friendly although we did suggest to Madeleine that a shower over the bath would be of great assistance to older folk as one gets to the stage of not being able to use a bath.

Comfortable and clean.

Very nice place, it didn't have a shower (only a bath) and given any other day I would have preferred a shower, but I appreciated the bath that day.

Voldoende indien jy nie WiFi benodig nie.

Die slaap en geriewe was daar nie probleme mee gewees nie. Ons het juis die plek bespreek agv die feit dat daar WiFi is en ons dringende werk moes afhandel. Bestuurder het gesê ons kan haar per W/app kontak indien ons enige hulp benodig. Het haar 18:23 gekontak vir WiFi inloginligting, geen respons tot die volgende oggend 08:52 nadat ons alreeds weer 2.5 ure op die pad was. Moes inderhaas ander planne beraam met ekstra onkostes om ons dringende werk af te handel wat onaanvaardbaar was vir ons. Voel dat wanneer jy 'n bestuurder is van so 'n plek, deurentyd beskikbaar moet wees vir jou gaste.

Sufficient if you don't need WiFi.

There were no problems with the sleep and amenities. We specifically booked the place due to the fact that there is WiFi and we had to finish some urgent work. Manager said we can contact her via W/app if we need any help. Contacted her at 18:23 for WiFi login information, no response until the next morning at 08:52 after we had already been on the road for another 2.5 hours. Had to hastily make other plans with extra expenses to finish our urgent work which was unacceptable to us. Feel that when you are a manager of such a place, you have to be available to your guests all the time.

Ongemaklik maar skoon en netjies.

Daar is verwarring t.o.v. "self catering." Op die fotos is daar 'n mikrogolf en yskas wat mens laat dink jy kan iets warm maak en eet en die yskas gebruik vir kos ens. Daar is egter geen eetgerei nie. Dus yskas en mikrogolf skep 'n verkeerde idee. Dan indien mens vroeg is soos 15h00, moet jy dan in die kamer op die dubbelbed sit tot jy gaan slaap? Ons moes vra of ons iewers buite kan sit en 'n glasie wyn geniet. Daar was ook nie 'n wynglas nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Uncomfortable but clean and tidy.

There is confusion regarding "self catering." In the photos there is a microwave and fridge which makes one think you can heat something and eat and use the fridge for food etc. However, there is no cutlery. So refrigerator and microwave creates a wrong idea. Then if one is early like 15h00, do you then have to sit in the room on the double bed until you go to sleep? We had to ask if we could sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine. There wasn't a wine glass either.

My verloofde is 'n abnormalevragmotorbestuurder en ons sien mekaar maar min. Toe hy moes oorstaan in Hopetown het ek besluit om van Bloemfontein af deur te ry Hopetown toe net om bietjie tyd met hom te spandeer.

Die diens was vriendelik, die gasheer was behulpsaam. Dit was toeganklik en het die verblyf ons verwagtinge oortref. Baie dankie vir die geleentheid om te kon oornag by julle plekkie.

Gerieflik.

Veilige en gerieflike oornagplek. Was net bietjie ongerieflik omdat die krag af was toe ons daar arriveer, maar dit was buite die eienaar se beheer. Die ligte is wel op sonkrag gekoppel en ek sal aanbeveel dat kragproppe ook op sonkrag gekoppel word sodat gaste ten minste 'n ketel kan kook wanneer hulle arriveer. Die diens was goed en die eienaar is vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Comfortable.

Safe and comfortable place to stay. Was just a bit inconvenient because the power was off when we got there, but that was out of the owner's control. The lights are indeed connected to solar power and I would recommend that power plugs are also connected to solar power so that guests can at least boil a kettle when they arrive. The service was good and the owner is friendly and helpful.

Ondervinding wat mens gou wil vergeet.

Swak - geen gasvrou of persoon wat in beheer is gesien by aankoms of vertrek (seun het ons ingelaat). Beddens = ou staal beddens + ou matras = rugpyn. Sal nooit weer gebruik nie.

Poor - no hostess or person in charge seen on arrival or departure (boy let us in). Beds = old steel beds + old mattress = back pain. Will never use again.

Unfriendly reception by hostess.

We had to wait some time for the owner, when she arrived she was unfriendly. Designation of guest house should be reconsidered. More of an overnight stay type, Hopetown offers few facilities to enjoy meals.

Oornag.

Die kamers is netjies en gerieflik. Ons kon ook heerlik uitspan by die braai-area. Die enigste negatief was die parkering - ons het 2 kamers geboek, maar daar was net 1 parkering agter die hek beskikbaar.

Spotless, all amenities but room very cold and dark. Gloomy furnishing.

For a single female guest arriving on a Sunday late afternoon, there was nowhere to get anything to eat in Hopetown or at the guesthouse. The website photograph is misleading, showing a beautiful big tree, whereas the actual rooms are far from this in the back yard with the chickens. The car park was muddy.

Baie mooi kamer, super skoon en netjies.

Lekker gebly! Die kussings was net ongelooflik hard en styf. Maar vir iemand anders sou dit nou weer werk. Dit was altwee kere wat ons daar geslaap het ongelooflik raserig in die omgewing, glad nie eienaar se skuld nie. Dis honde wat heelnag blaf en so aan. So neem dit maar in ag dat dit wel in 'n woongebied is.

Nice stay! The pillows were just incredibly hard and tight. But for someone else it would work again. Both times that we stayed there it was incredibly noisy in the area, not owner's fault at all. It's dogs barking all night and so on. So take it into account that it is in a residential area.

Netjies, gerieflik, waarde vir geld.

Vriendelik ontvang, netjiese skoon kamers. Al negatiewe punt, ons bespreek volgens die geriewe wat beskikbaar is. Die braaiplek was deur die eienaar se kinders gebruik en ons kon dit nie gebruik nie. Gaste moet ingelig word wanneer hulle navraag doen indien geriewe nie beskikbaar is nie.

Neat, comfortable, value for money.

Friendly welcome, neat clean rooms. All negative point, we book according to the amenities available. The braai place was used by the owner's children and we could not use it. Guests must be informed when they inquire if facilities are not available.

Nie goeie aankoms gehad nie.

Hek op my voertuig begin toemaak. Pen nie in grond gedruk nie, terwyl ek vir die eienaar gekyk het om vorentoe te beweeg omdat daar ‘n redelike hoogte verskil was, en spasie beperk. Hek beweeg en dit het teen my voertuig geskuur. Nie gelukkig nie. Nr. 3 se beddens gedaan. Beide my vrou en ek het rugpyn gehad.

Didn't have a good arrival.

Gate on my vehicle starts to close. Pin not pushed into the ground, while I looked for the owner to move forward because there was a reasonable height difference, and limited space. Gate moved and it rubbed against my vehicle. Not happy. No. 3's beds done. Both my wife and I had back pain.

Short stopover on our way home from Cape Town.

We stopped over in Hopetown during our road trip back from Cape Town. Slightly disappointed that there was no shower in the room.

The Big Tree Guest House 's response

Hi Cayla, thank you for staying at The Big Tree Guest House. When you do an online booking, you can look at all the rooms for more options, unfortunately you booked the only room that I have with a bath, the other 2 rooms have showers. Sorry about that. Next time try booking Room Nr 2 at The Big Tree Guest House. Kind regards, Madeleine.

Disappointing.

No one was there when we arrived. Everything was old. Furniture etc. Only a bath. Not good for elderly. Everyone uses showers these days.

The Big Tree Guest House 's response

Hi Brenda,
I'm really sorry for you disappointment. There are 3 rooms, 2 with showers and 1 with a bath. It is listed on the site like that. You decided to book Room 1 with the bath. There is a lot of guests that prefer the bath (for small children of instance), that is why we think at least we have the option for the guest to choose.
The photo's of the room on the site is exactly the same as inside the room. Why did you booked the room if you did not like the furniture or the bath? It was your choice to book or not.

Glad nie gelukig met die ontvangs.

Met die aankoms was ons deur die eienaar se meisikind ontvang wat baie onpersoonlik is. Die protokol was ook nie behoorlik gevolg wat die regulasies betref. Ek het toe uit die kamer die eienaar geskakel en gevra ons wil persoonlik met haar gesels oor die geriewe en borde wat nie in die kamers is, waar sy toe kom en half woedend reageer en ook omdat daar nie 'n braai is wat ons kan gebruik om te braai, het sy gesê dit moet vooraf gereël word en hulle kan nie aan daai behoefte voorsien nie. Sy was baie onbeskof en disrespekvol teenoor ons asof ons kleur nie goed genoeg is, waarop ons die verblyf kanselleer het en 'n ander plek gaan soek het. Ons het net 'n derde van ons geld terug gekry. Ek beveel geensins daai gastehuis aan nie, miskien as jou kleur reg is Dit was nogal 'n vernedering vir ons. Haar optrede is totaal onaanvaarbaar.

Not at all happy with the reception.

On arrival we were greeted by the owner's daughter who is very impersonal. The protocol was also not properly followed as far as the regulations were concerned. I then called the owner from the room and asked if we wanted to talk to her personally about the amenities and plates that are not in the rooms, to which she came and reacted half furiously and also because there is no braai that we can use to barbecue, she said it had to be arranged in advance and they could not meet that need. She was very rude and disrespectful towards us as if our color was not good enough, whereupon we canceled the stay and went looking for another place. We only got a third of our money back. I do not recommend that guest house in any way, maybe if your color is right It was quite a humiliation for us. Her actions are totally unacceptable.

Ek sal Big Tree Guest House beslis aanbeveel as oorslaapplek vir een aand.

Ek sal voorstel hulle kyk na 'n paar klein goedjies. Seep in die badkamers, en 'n badkamerdeur op die tweebedkamer. My twee seuns het die kamer gedeel so dit was aanvaarbaar, maar sou wel meer privaatheid gegee het. Die kliëntediens was goed en alles was netjies in die kamers.

I would definitely recommend Big Tree Guest House as a place to stay for one night.

I would suggest they look at some small things. Soap in the bathrooms, and a bathroom door on the twin bedroom. My two sons shared the room so it was acceptable but would have given more privacy. The customer service was good and everything was tidy in the rooms.

Eienaars se hond het regdeur die nag voor ons kamer venster getjank, ons kon nie slaap nie.

Plek was skoon en netjies en bed gemaklik. Omdat die hond deurnag getjank het, het ons baie moeg verder gery.

Owners' dog whined all night in front of our room window, we couldn't sleep.

Place was clean and tidy and bed comfortable. Because the dog whined all night, we drove on very tired.

Hi Hannes,
Ek is vreeslik jammer oor die honde wat blaf, maar ek wil net 'n regstelling maak.
Dit is definitief nie my hond wat blaf nie, dit is honde in die buurt wat rond loop in die nag, waaroor ek geen beheer het nie.
