Gemaklik, skoon en netjies, goed toegerus.

Die Garden Cottage is baie skoon en netjies. 'n Goeie oorbly vir besigheidsreisigers of oorbly na 'n laataand in die omgewing van die Garden Cottage. Melanie het ons baie vriendelik ontvang en was baie hulpvaardig. 'n Groot pluspunt is die feit dat dit 'n sonkrag aangedrewe eenheid is.

The Garden Cottage is very clean and tidy. A good stopover for business travelers or a stopover after a late night in the vicinity of the Garden Cottage. Melanie received us very kindly and was very helpful. A big plus is the fact that it is a solar powered unit.

All in all, a very good guest house for the price I paid.

The studio apartment was larger than I thought and had a full kitchen with a stove and everything. It looked lovely. My only complaints are that the duvet was stuffed with down feathers and this wasn't stated anywhere. I'm allergic to down feathers so I ended up being quite cold that night. Secondly, the shower took a very long time to get warm. I waited about 10 minutes for hot water to start coming through.

Netjies, veilig en waarde vir geld.

Plekkie was netjies, modern en veilig. Beslis waarde vir geld. Ek sou voorstel dat daar 'n dakwaaier of lugreëling ingesit word of dalk net 'n gewone waaier in die kamer beskikbaar gestel word. Maar andersins, baie lekker geslaap en gebly.

Thank you The Garden Cottage for your topnotch hospitality.

Once again thanks Malanei and Graham for your warmest welcoming and care. The place is more than a five star hotel, with the highest taste of furniture in the rooms, it's very clean with Wi-Fi and no loadshedding as they have a powerful backup power during the day and at night 100%.

Ontvang deur 'n nors huishulp wat nie die moeite gedoen het om ons te wys waar om te gaan nie.

Positiewe: Zias, die Great Dane! Dis skoon en netjies met alle geriewe. Voorsiening vir loadshedding en Wifi. Die eienares het kort na ons vertrek laat weet ek het my trouring laat agtergebly. 10/10 daarvoor, duisend dankies. Negatief: Dit was yskoud en 'n gasverwarmer sou baie help. Temp het gewissel tusen 3 en 13 grade, dus kon die sonpaneelgeiser slegs warm water vir een keer se stort uit 'n moontlike 4 kanse voorsien. Andersins, geen klagtes sover as ligging, stilte en veiligheid aangaan nie. Bygesê, die eienaars is ook nou wraggies nie te blameer vir die koue weer nie! Ek sal weer vir Zias gaan kuier!

Received by a grumpy maid who didn't bother to show us where to go.

Positives: Zias, the Great Dane! It's clean and tidy with all amenities. Provision for loadshedding and Wifi. Shortly after we left, the owner informed me that I had left my wedding ring behind. 10/10 for that, thanks a thousand. Negative: It was freezing cold and a gas heater would help a lot. Temp varied between 3 and 13 degrees, so the solar panel geyser could only provide hot water for one shower out of a possible 4 chances. Otherwise, no complaints as far as location, quietness and safety are concerned. Added to that, the owners are not to blame for the cold weather either! I will visit Zias again!
