Satisfactory. The WiFi is very slow.
The Farmhouse 's response
Hi Alain
Thank you for the feedback. We have a fibre line of 100MHz up and down speed. Our Vox suppliers have been experiencing some faults. Another factor seems to be the underwater cables that were damaged, slowing us all down.
We will check and test speeds when issues are reported so thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Due to our higher than average rainfall from October to December, our climate was very humid. After causing problems for instance mould due.
The smell you could have smelt could also be the very strong industrial chemical that we used.
We are busy with damp seal and painting renovation in the guesthouse and also busy replacing some of the floors.

Worst accommodation encountered ever.

Good day Leroy,
Thank you for your feedback. Negative or positive it always helps us grow.
A few things not mentioned here is that your group was on site for about 2 hours and the kids enjoying the pool table and other entertainment in the games room without a glitch.
Another aspect you failed to mention is that you phoned me a few days before arrival insisting that we change your units to right next to each other and I told you in detail what your options are and you accepted it.
You also forget to mention that after you entered other guest rooms without permission you asked for those rooms. Then once we disrupted our second group for news years weekend of 17 people and they were willing to swop without complaints you then changed your mind.
You also fail to mention that we brought staff back after 7 pm to assist you with complaints we then solved it all. The young group of 5 people just before you for 3 days were very happy but we're also the source of the sour milk we found back of the fridge. We cleared it and apologize for that.
Then you fail to mention your kind words and discussion we had that The Farmhouse George offered that if we find tenants or Lekkerslaap find or you yourself we will refund you in part. Which we did. You received back over R3300. This is a precedent we will not repeat.
There is a point that no matter what you do you cannot satisfy all people.
Our core business model remains a basic clean user-friendly establishment which reflects in our continuous 70% plus occupancy right through the year.
A positive that has come from this that we have decided to put in a flexible soundproof barrier between De Schaapkraal & De Melkstal which means in future for groups like yours we make them one unit.

It was a peaceful place, but one problem is the pool that was dirty and the farmhouse has to much rules but further on everything was excellent.
The Farmhouse 's response
Hi Peter
Thank you for the kind review. You were an awesome family.
Sorry about the pool pump blowing a gasket. We are almost back to sparkle status again. I will commit to a descent discount for your inconvenience next time you visit.
Sorry about all the rules. They developed over the past 8years we have been running the guest house to assist us in preventing damage and also making sure all our guests have a pleasant experience. Most guest houses in our area do not allow children where we are more family oriented and allow them but as those under 12 to be supervised by an adult.
But we will review them none the less and see where we can relax a little.
Have a great 2020.

Friendly reception, but disappointing accommodation.
Friendly reception, but falls far short. We stayed at several self-catering units during our trip, but the quality of The Farmhouse's sheep pen unit was really not close to standard. The fridge was not turned on on arrival and smelled, outside toilet and "shower" in one building is available with no sink. I'm sorry, but The Farmhouse for a regular user of guest houses came off badly in my book.

Hello Casper,
Jammer om te verneem ons groei altyd uit enige soort kritiek. Ons stem nie 100% saam met alles nie.
De Skaapkraal is wel ons besigste eenheid vandat hy in gebruik geneem, juis soos 'n backpackers opsie met baie meer gerief. Die badkamer is in die beskrywing presies beskryf. Daar is filter water in eenheid soos kamp. Ons voel vir waarde vir geld is hierdie 'n onregverdige resensie wat u as gas nie volledig gelees het nie en u wou ook nie betaal om op te gradeer na ander eenheid nie.

Beste Chris,
Baie dankie vir die mooi terugvoer, ons waardeer dit so baie. Ons probeer nie "fancy" wees nie, maar net 'n lekker huis-weg-van-die-huis wees.
Die geskiedenis van die huis is nie so histories soos die boustyl dit laat blyk nie, maar die unieke storie daaragter is dat die eerste eienaar dit blykbaar eiehandig gebou het oor so 7 jaar tydperk. Eers in die deel gebly het waar julle was en toe die huis betree het.

Very disappointed.
We slept in the blue room. We were very disappointed with what we got for the money we paid. To begin with, the full floor carpet in the room is very dirty. There is a bad musty smell in the room, maybe because of the dirty carpet! We had to keep the windows open for a while to try to get rid of the smell. The mattress, an old innerspring, is so full of lumps, you don't know where to lie. Slept very uncomfortably. The sink in the room by the shower has no hot water! We will certainly never spend the night there again or recommend anyone there.

My stay was sobering!
I don't know what the other rooms/apartments look like (did a tour of the chicken coop apartment), but the Milk Stable is not up to guest standard at all and needs a lot of attention. The linens are already faded, the pillows flat and plasticky, the sofas stained and towels stained and feel like the ones I would use at home for my dog. The fancy light in one room is full of dust and one screen is broken. The light in the bathroom was dim and reddish one night, but thankfully came on and was brighter the second night. The floor covering is old-fashioned novilon that needs attention and a carpet that looks like it needs to go to the hairdresser for a wash and a comb. In the kitchen are funny glasses and beautiful old fashioned cup and pie dishes that I was too afraid to use. On the shelf is an old fashioned liquor bottle and cookie tin collection that doesn't add to the better decor at all. The sink in the kitchen is of the type that belongs in a washroom or milking shed. The WiFi doesn't work in the Melkstal, but I only heard about that when I was looking for it. The apartments are separated by doors that are not very soundproof. I could hear the guys next door eating and scraping plates and am sure they could hear me snoring. Someone in front of us stuck a tissue in the keyhole of the door between our room and the neighbors probably for some inconceivable reason. While I'm in my rented private garden area (as described by the owners) where three beautiful logs will no longer grow, another resident walks right here in privacy from a toilet. The second night I hear someone taking a shower. Again there in my private garden area and the shower's runoff runs here through my "garden" with the three logs past to the back of the main house like a waffle river which I just named after some bathroom instrument. I looked into the Chicken Coop (apartment for 4) and saw that it looked much better there. Apparently for the same price. Good bedding, tiled floor and cleaner. I understand about low cost accommodation (as the owner mentioned after a previous review), but R900 for two people to sleep there for only 2 nights is a good price for the guy who gets it. And I understand about dust and sofas with stains and old things. There are things like that at my house too, but I don't host overnight guests. I looked at other options with the same price range, but the photos of the old beautiful residence with a little yakusee and a little sauna, which I regret not going to see, stole my preference. I read other reviews, but didn't think they were full of things. Now I know better. I expressed my dissatisfaction to the owner, but still feel that other guests should take note.

Beste Jan,
Dankie vir jul verblyf en terugvoering. Ons het 2 keer deur alles gelees en vind tog die ligter punte in jul skrywe. Ons stem nie saam met alles nie en besef decor en smaak verskil. Goed soos beddegoed vervang en vernuwe is deurlopend. Daar was egter 'n paar punte wat ons graag tog aan aandag gaan skenk soos die klankdigtheid en wegvloei van water.
So tussen die humor deur bedank ons u vir die noem van kwelpunte wat ons help verbeter. Al is ons die bekostigbaarste verblyf in George, wil ons ook tog verbeter.

Ek wil met die intrap slag verwys na Ellen M se review hieronder die van John B. Sy het in dieselfde eenheid met haar dogter tuis gegaan vir 'n paar dae. So hoe verduidelik mens nou haar absolute tevredenheid en hierdie meneer se vriendelike gesindheid wat ons salig onbewus los oor sy werklike gemoed.
Ek wil net noem dat met kwotasies stuur ons 'n breed voerige inligtings stuk uit met elke kwotasie en John B was geen uitsondering nie. Paragraaf 5 lees soos volg:
As we offer a basic family stay, please do not expect luxury amenities, as we would hate to have you arrive and be disappointed. Our ultimate aim is customer satisfaction, and we offer country hospitality within an affordable environment. The guesthouse is owner managed.
Die meneer het opgedaag sleutels ontvang en toe uit gegaan onmiddelik dit verbaas my dat hy detail inspeksie nog gehou het.
Was wel ontsteld dat hy vir sy seun ekstra moes betaal want hy het net vir homself geboek.
Ons kon nie vlekke kry op daardie 3 stelle beddegoed wat ons roteer in daardie eenheid nie. Die gladde vetterige vloer is 'n wonderlike teken dat ons personeel hulle werk gedoen het met ons skoonmaak middel.
Daardie is 'n teel vloer vertrek en ons is besig om alle matte uit eenhede te faseer omdat so baie mense aan sinus lui.
Nee wat Lekkerslaap ons laat te maklik mense kla wat nie eers oorgeslaap het nie. Nie eers wakker geword het met die voël gesang aan die voet van die Outeniqua berge nie.
Nee klient kom skakel eers af en kry rus hier by ons vir jou gejaagde siel.

Uncomfortable to share their living area with the housemates.
The bathroom tiles are extremely slippery and someone is going to fall very hard.

The Farmhouse 's response
Die leef area is vir gaste by die Sentrale DStv punt. Hierdie gaste was daar saam met ander gaste die aand ons was nie naby nie. Hulle het ook hulle eie eenheid bo gehad met eie sitkamer en ingang aan huis se kant en eie ingang na buite. Die keuse om by ander gaste te kom sit en kuier is elke mens se keuses.
Net voordat iemand hard val hoop ek hulle kyk op die toilet, mooi opgerol lê die vloer maatjie. Ons hoop hulle sou dit neersit voor die ongeluk gebeur.

I prefer not to evaluate my time at The Farmhouse.
I will always use LekkeSlaap, but never sleep at The Farmhouse again. I often backpack overseas and sleep at "homestays", on station benches, in hospital waiting rooms and tents and have done "couching" in Italy where you rent a couch and share the bathroom with the family. I call it that you realize I'm not full of nonsense and can get along with basic things.

The Farmhouse 's response
Thanks for the opportunity to reply.
We remain true to our objectives as a clean tidy budget destination in an upmarket historic environment.
Our comment on this client is that the client had arrived in the middle of a long weekend (2 hours earlier than check in time) where guests were in a jovial mood. As we service client accommodation first we acknowledge that the sitting room from previous evenings fireplace had not been serviced.
The table outside where the guest brought their own lunch and beer to enjoy under the grand old tree had not been cleared.
This client lost her deposit as she judged the book by its cover.
To this client. Give us a chance if you like. Try not to make up your mind at the gate.

I was received very kindly and felt very much at home at the Farmhouse throughout.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Farmhouse. Because it is close to downtown George, I could easily get to all the necessary places. I stayed in the 'Le blue Room' and would like to recommend that more clothes hangers be placed in the hanging closet. I know many people spend only one night there, but if two people were to stay there and spend more than one night there, more hangers would be handy. A towel hanger is also missing, especially when two people are staying there. I would recommend the Farmhouse to people with great confidence

Value for money but the unit needs attention.
The Farmhouse offers value for money but the appliances in the unit could really be renewed. It is really very old - e.g. bedding. The towels were clean but stained. The crockery that was available could not be used in the microwave at all because it had silver edges.

With a little improvement it could be a very nice place.
They were not fully prepared for our arrival. There was no light at the braai area and our bedding had stains on it. The pool area is very nice as well as the feel of the area and yard. It is convenient that they have a cleaner to come and clean the rooms during the day and make the beds. It would be a very nice place to sleep if they could just improve on a few things.

Would rather pay more for a slightly better location and more spacious rooms.
No anti-theft. Parking is problematic. The double bed is only accessible from one side. My wife had to climb over me. Hot and cold water work well. Place was very nice and clean, but the bedding and other appliances are dirty. Can show better with better choices if the decor is addressed ever so slightly. There were no wine glasses. The outer room was first a garage that was not converted very well.

Expected more.
The bedding was definitely not purchased recently. The pillowcase's zipper was broken. There is only one bag of sugar per cup. No mats on the floor before bath or shower. Mattresses can be replaced. There is only one towel and one pillow per person. Poor toilet paper. At check-in and check-out we had to wait before someone came to help after the bell was rung. Was not notified in advance of key deposit and there are no debit card facilities. Would feel that there should be TVs in the rooms as you want to do your own thing and not be with a group of people all the time. The owners are friendly though.

This guest house is very basic but has everything you would need. It is conveniently located and was easy to find. Besides, our car was safe for the evening. I would think that this is the perfect place to use as a base camp, as people can then explore the whole area from there. It almost borders the foot of the mountain which ensures a beautiful view when you drive around the area. The owner was also very nice and gave us directions to the cutest restaurant. The room was clean, and everything was in working order. The decor is basic but adequate... Definitely a bargain!

It's a very neat guest house, but I think a TV is mandatory these days.
The key deposit is also very expensive. We didn't have hot water at the sink in the room, which meant I had to shave in the toilet (which also had a sink). Otherwise it was very nice. The people are very friendly, the room is good but the toilet is outside in the corridor. Breakfast was also quite expensive.

Very disappointed. Looks so neat on the website. Place looks and smells dirty. Probably very long granted. Garbage piles in kitchen overflowing from previous guests. No reception.

Only 2 towels put out for 6 guests. Never received extra. I know the price p/p is cheap, but it doesn't justify the stay.
