Easy check-in, clean and friendly staff.

We want to thank you for a lovely overnight stay. It was an easy check-in, the rooms were spotless and the bedding was very clean. The host arranged crockery and cutlery for us to enjoy a braai at their braai facilities. There was everything we needed, it was safe and we had a good rest for our long journey ahead. Thank you! We would definitely recommend The Forecourt B&B and Self Catering for anyone looking for an overnight stay.

Highly recommended.

Lisa kindly moved us to a B&B room, as it was more convenient, so this review isn't about the self-catering unit. We were delighted to find this gem in Dordrecht. It really is a luxury B&B. Fabulous bathroom, lovely space, convenient little fridge, comfy, decent-sized bed. Also great to have our dinner prepared by the coffee shop before it closed, with clever access to the restaurant area to retrieve and warm our food. Not even bad traffic noise, even though it is right in the centre of town. A perfect place to stay over on our way back from the Cape to KZN. We have stayed in 8 other B&Bs in the last two weeks and this was the best.

Kon lekker warm slaap in die koue.

Het net oor geslaap vir een aand. Ons het laat opgedaag en die gasvrou het ons woonstel sleutel by die garage oorkant die pad gelaat. Sy was baie behulpsaam in alle opsigte.

Verblyf was gerieflik, net parkering was problematies.

Die parkering was problematies aangesien ons vroeg wou vertrek. Ons was vas geparkeer en moes mense wakker klop om hulle voertuie te skuif sodat ons kon vertrek. Dit sou gehelp het indien elke woonstel 'n eie parkeer spasie gehad het. Anders was die verblyf aangenaam en die woonstel gerieflik.

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.

Goeie breuk vir die lang pad.

Ons was op pad na Calitzdorp vanaf Durban en The Forecourt B&b was haldpad. Dit was mooi skoon en elegant. Heerlik met ons 2 kleintjies - hulle kon lekker op die mat in die sitkamer speel en hulle bedjies het perfek langs die bed in die hoofslaapkamer ingepas. Hulle het ook aangebied om aandete vir ons te reël en reg te hê in die eenheid met ons koms - dit was heerlik welkom na die lang rit! Ons beveel hulle definitief aan vir ons vriende.

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.

The room is lovely and clean.

Unfortunately we stayed over on a Saturday night. There is nowhere to buy food, had a meal prepared and ate this 5 hours later. The Sunday breakfast was supposed to be available from 08:00, but by 8:15 the staff was late and we left without breakfast. Still a very nice place to overnight in an area that offers very little.

Algemeen 'n topplek om in te oornag. Die dorp bied jou eintlik niks maar het nietemin dit daar geniet en sal dit weer gebruik om oor te slaap. TV is goed en WiFi geen probleem. Die stort kan gerus 'n "Deep Cleanse" kry om die swart alge te verwyder maar is nie te grillerig nie.

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.

R850 for a luxury room, rubbish.

No self catering (eating) utensils available. Not even teaspoons for the coffee. We luckily brought food for the trip, yet there were no plates, knives or forks to eat with. We had to phone Lisa, who brought us the necessary. The final insult was when we retired for the night, pulled back the duvet covet; the sheets were dirty - they had not been changed since the previous occupants. Upon phoning Lisa again all she could say was that the permanent cleaning lady was off. This visit was so disgustingly poor.

Baie aangename verrassing!

Baie dankie vir die netjiese, skoon en gerieflike verblyf! Dit was meer as wat ons verwag het op so 'n klein dorpie! Die kamer was silwerskoon en netjies. Die omgewing glad nie raserig nie ten spyte van die Vulstasie reg langsaan. Ons het ook nooit onveilig gevoel nie. Indien ons weer in daardie omgewing moet oorslaap, sal ons enige tyd weer soontoe gaan!

The water tank's pump came on every five minutes day and night. We couldn't sleep at all.

The apartment was not cleaned at 14h00. The shower light did not work. The lower rooms reeked of smoke. Ketel did not always want to work.

Ons gesin het The Forecourt slegs gebruik as 'n oorslaappunt en nie vir toeriste doeleindes nie. Die eenheid is goed toegerus met alles wat mens benodig vir selfsorg en is skoon en netjies. Die personeel is ook baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig.

Die enigste negatiewe van The Forecourt is sy ligging (by die kruising van twee hoofpaaie) wat veroorsaak dat dit raserig is, selfs binne die eenheid waarin ons gebly het. Ons kon tot laat die aand harde musiek hoor speel, mense hoor gesels wat verbystap in die straat, asook verkeersgeraas. Die eenheid maak ook gebruik van 'n boorgat wat ook bydra na die raserigheid met dié dat die pomp gereeld aan en af sit. Besoekers moet ook daarop let dat die boorgatwater in die eenheid nie gedrink kan word nie. The Forecourt het wel 'n 1.5L waterbottel voorsien om te gebruik, wat bietjie min was vir vier mense vir een aand.

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.

Nie langer as 2 nagte.

Die woonstelle is baie mooi en skoon, maar die ligging aan die hoofstraat is nie geskik vir toeriste. Die geraas van karre en baie mense wat langsloop is nie lekker nie. Daar was ook geen plek om buite te kan sit. Ons was toegesluit agter hoe hekke en dit is glad nie wat 'n toeris soek nie. Vir mense wat oornag vir hulle werk is dit uitstekend. Sleep and go!

No longer than 2 nights.

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!

'n Goeie nag se rus om die dag se reis af te skut en energie vir die dag se reis wat kom.

Dit is ons tweede besoek en weereens was ons nie teleurgesteld nie. Alles was vir ons gerieflik en ons het gevoel soos ou vriende wat kom kuier.

Very much OK.

I enjoyed the peace and quiet of the place. The room is big enough with nice linen and value for money. The only thing that I didn't like was the carpet. I am not a carpet person and it is even worse for me when it is not clean. How I wish it was tiling all round. Otherwise the place was nice, something I didn't expect in Dordrecht as it is a very small town. I will definitely use it if i happened to land in that vicinity one day. However I will ask for a room without carpet if they have any or the one with a clean carpet.

Dit het ons verwagtinge oortref!

Ek en my vriende is gewoond aan eersteklas akkommodasie. Met dié dat ons lugwaardinne is reis ons gereeld na eerstewêreldlande, daarom kan ek sê dat ons aangenaam verras was met die kamers hier. Die enigste "downer" hier was, toe ons daar aankom het ons 4 kamers bespreek en deposito's betaal en ons het net gevra vir 3. Deposito's is natuurlik nie-terugbetaalbaar. Ons het aanlyn bespreek en betaal en ek dink dis waar die fout ingesluip het. Ek het wel die reisagent met e-pos gekontak en aangedring dat sy seker maak dat ek net vir 3 kamers betaal het.

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.

Once more an owner on holiday or abroad. The supposed restaurant close at 6 PM so you have to warm on oven what they have given you before to close. No WiFi connection, at least in the rooms but the restaurant is closed and also the staff don't know the password.

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.

A good place as a stopover.

The Forecourt B&B staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. Because of it's location we didn't feel safe leaving the premises in the evening but in the complex we felt perfectly safe. As a stopover or perhaps as a base it is very good but I'm not sure about staying for a longer period.

Aanvaarbaar

Daar is nêrens genoem dat daar trappe na die woonstel is nie, en aangesien ek swaar stap (met 'n ernstige knie-probleem) was dit nie aangenaam na 'n dag se reis nie! Ook stem ons nie saam met die "veilige parkeerplek" nie. Dit was baie koud en daar is net verwarmers. Verder was die verblyf goed. Grootste klagte is die trappe en die geraas van die haarsalon onder die woonstel.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Acceptable

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.
