In die hartjie van Clarens!

Sharon is 'n gasvrou wat nie net dadelik beskikbaar was om in enige manier ons verblyf verder gemaklik te maak nie, maar sy het ook die lekkerste gebakte "snack" met 'n welkom OBS tydens ons aankoms in die kombuis gelos. Die loft is cozy en beautiful en die view, even méér. Dankie, ons kom gou weer terug.

In the heart of Clarens!

Sharon is a hostess who was not only immediately available to make our stay more comfortable in any way, but she also left the most delicious baked "snack" with a welcome OBS in the kitchen upon our arrival. The loft is cozy and beautiful and the view, even more so. Thanks, we'll be back soon.

Smaakvol en elegant, maar die lae dak is hinderlik.

Ons dakeenheid was keurig gemeubileer met beddegoed van goeie gehalte en het alles bevat wat ’n mens nodig kan kry vir ’n aangename verblyf. Sharon se aanwysings per WhatsApp was duidelik en nuttig. Ons het ook gehou van die omgewingsvriendelike toiletware. Die enigste probleem is dat die dak van die plek so laag is (behalwe in die middel van die drie vertrekke) dat ’n mens gedurig jou kop stamp as jy nie deurentyd pasop nie, selfs in die beddens en op die bank in die sitkamer. Dalk is dit vir kinders of dwergies bedoel.

Tasteful and elegant, but the low roof is in the way.

Our rooftop unit was nicely furnished with good quality bedding and contained everything one could need for a pleasant stay. Sharon's directions via WhatsApp were clear and helpful. We also liked the environmentally friendly toiletries. The only problem is that the roof of the place is so low (except in the middle of the three rooms) that you constantly bump your head if you are not careful all the time, even in the beds and on the couch in the living room. Maybe it's meant for children or dwarfs.

Beste Morne, baie dankie vir die positiewe terugvoering. Ons is bevoorreg om julle vakansie 'n goeie ervaring te maak en sien uit om julle weer te sien.

Aangaande die hoogte van die dak. Dit is ons loft eenheid en ons adverteer dit as sulks. Ons beveel dit aan vir persone onder 1.7 meter lank. Probeer gerus ons luukse Classique eenheid in die toekoms.

Groete

Stunning! Loved it.

We were 14 people attending a 70th surprise birthday celebration. The Gables were perfectly situated for this. The only downside was the access to the loft. We unfortunately had to find last minute accommodation for 4 people on arrival as they could not access the bedrooms in the loft. The staircase was not pensioner friendly. Maybe what I can suggest is to specify on the website the loft is for kids only and not people over 60. We were lucky to find last minute accommodation not too far. Apart from that we had an amazing, memorable time. Thank you.

Hoewel die huis hier en daar bietjie TLC benodig, werk alles, was netjies en skoon en beskik oor alles soos adverteer. Die familie het lekker saam gekuier en sal hopelik gou weer so maak.

We had such a great stay, we were a group of 14 and the house was so beautiful with a pool as most don't have, but we got lost a bit.

We had a great stay until our departure, where the helper's daughter started screaming at us cause we used extra mattress from upstairs, saying we guests give her mom extra work, but we took the mattress back. Apart from that we enjoyed our stay.

Onvergeetlike lekker tyd gehad saam met my familie by die Gables.

Ek kan met plesier The Gables aanbeveel, onvergeetlike goeie diens ontvang. Alles was perfek uiteengesit, ons het so lekker gekuier om die vuur by die binnebraai-area. Daar was ook 'n lekker klim- en klouterraam vir die kinders om te speel, groot grasperke waar ons saam met die kinders krieket gespeel het. Ons het sommer na die dorp gestap. Alles was so naby. Sal enige tyd weer hier kom kuier.

There was also a nice jungle gym for the kids to play, large lawns where we played cricket with the kids. We just walked to town. Everything was so close. Will come here again anytime.

Awesome getaway.

The house comfortably housed our group of 11 people ( of which 4 were kids). Everything worked and the place was spotless. The house is a 2 minute walk to the town center, however the road in front of the house is a gravel road. Carol proactively sent us directions and made arrangements for the keys. The loft is ideal for 4 children, however, adults could struggle with the small staircase. There was more than enough seating, utensils, towels etc. DSTV and Wi-fi worked well. We enjoyed staying there.

Ons het dit baie geniet en die uitsig van die bergreeks was asemrowend. Ons sal vir seker weer gaan.

Die huis was mooi, skoon en ruim. Die binnebraai is nogal klein, veral vir die hoeveelheid mense wat gehuisves word, maar in die somer sal dit lieflik wees as jy die deure kan oopmaak en nog naby die swembad ook kan wees. Die kliëntediens was puik.

The house was pretty, clean and spacious. The indoor braai is quite small, especially for the amount of guests, but in summer it will be lovely if you can open the doors and be close to the swimming pool. The customer service was great.

Uitgebreide gesinskuier om 'n verjaardag te vier.

Bitter lekker gekuier van begin tot einde. Die huis is uitstekend toegerus en genoeg aandag aan detail sonder om oordadig te wees. Dit was 'n plesier om bederf te word met genoeg beskuit, toiletware, ens. Dan word die kaggel ook sommer vir jou gepak! Ek voel dat hierdie uitstappie na The Gables 'n jaarlikse instelling gaan word.
