Accommodation was comfortable, only parking was problematic.
The parking was problematic as we wanted to leave early. We were stuck parked and had to wake people up to move their vehicles so we could leave. It would have helped if each apartment had its own parking space. Otherwise the stay was pleasant and the apartment comfortable.

Good break for the long haul.
We were on our way to Calitzdorp from Durban and The Forecourt B&b was our stop. It was nice clean and elegant. Great with our 2 little ones - they could play on the carpet in the living room and their cots fit perfectly next to the bed in the master bedroom. They also offered to arrange dinner for us and have it ready in the unit upon our arrival - it was very welcome after the long drive! We definitely recommend them to our friends.

Overall a top place to stay overnight. The town doesn't really offer you anything but enjoyed it there nonetheless and will use it again to sleep over. TV is good and WiFi no problem. The shower could easily get a "Deep Cleanse" to remove the black algae but is not too creepy.

Our family used The Forecourt only as an overnight stop and not for tourist purposes. The unit is well equipped with everything you need for self-catering and is clean and tidy. The staff is also very friendly and helpful.
The only negative about The Forecourt is its location (at the intersection of two main roads) which causes it to be noisy, even within the unit we stayed in. We could hear loud music playing until late at night, people talking walking by in the street, as well as traffic noise. The unit also uses a borehole which also adds to the noise with the pump frequently turning on and off. Visitors should also note that the borehole water in the unit is not drinkable. The Forecourt did provide a 1.5L water bottle for use, which was a bit small for four people for one night.

The apartments are very nice and clean, but the location on the main street is not suitable for tourists. The noise of cars and many people walking by is not pleasant. There was also no place to sit outside. We were locked behind what gates and that is not at all what a tourist is looking for. For people who work for them overnight, this is excellent. Sleep and go!

It exceeded our expectations!
My friends and I are used to first class accommodation. Since we're air hostesses, we travel to first world countries regularly, and yet still we were pleasantly surprised by the rooms here. The only downer here was when we got there we booked 4 rooms and paid deposits and we only asked for 3. Deposits are of course non-refundable. We booked online and paid and I think that's where the error occurred. I have contacted the travel agent by e-mail and insisted that she made sure that I only paid for 3 rooms.

Not terrible but the only address in Dordrecht.
The Forecourt B&B and Self-Catering 's response
I'm sorry to hear you were not satisfied with your stay. We were away visiting family overseas for 2 weeks, so I am sorry we were not there when you checked in. Please understand that Dordrecht is a very small town and we have a coffee shop (not a restaurant) that closes at 6 pm due to insufficient customers in the evenings. We have luxury rooms available, with better facilities in a better location, however you had reserved a standard room. I hope you will consider us for any future needs, and we will ensure that you have a better experience than last time.

Nowhere was it mentioned that there were stairs to the apartment, and as I'm a heavy walker (with a serious knee problem) it wasn't pleasant after a day's travel! Also, we do not agree with the "safe parking". It was very cold and there are only heaters. Other than that, the stay was good. Biggest complaint is the stairs and the noise from the hair salon below the apartment.
