Die kuier was lekker behalwe die weer.

Dit was goed, maar daar is nie 'n TV nie. Die WiFi is nie vir gaste nie, slegs net vir die eienaar, maar dit word geadverteer as beskikbaar.

Cozy.

Dit is 'n regte "cozy" plekkie, maar baie goed toegerus. Daar is selfs 'n Airfryer. Dit is 'n bietjie ver van die see, maar loopafstand van al die restaurante.

We decamped after 2 days although we had booked 3.

Not pleasant! First, the shed was locked and no key was found. The owner lives in Cape Town. The tenant of the main house had gone away with the key and could not be reached by phone. The ambiance outside of the shed was shattered by a rusty Venter standing in the garden. The stoep and outside the main house look filthy, with old tyres and lots of empty bottles piled up. Then there were the mosquitos! The Garden Shed is a hotbed for mosquitos, no wonder with the loads of tyres and bottles filled with water where they could breed happily. No mosquito coils or mats anywhere! The WiFi is non-existent (signal too weak).

Dit was baie aangenaam.

Die eienaar het uit sy pad gegaan om ons welkom te laat voel en om goeie diens te lewer. Hy het selfs aangebied om na ons motor te kyk, wat 'n vreemde geluid gemaak het, omdat ek 'n enkelvrou is. Hy het ook die motor se stukkende lig vir ons vervang. Slegs die Wifi wou dikwels nie werk nie.

It was very pleasant.

The owner went out of his way to make us feel welcome and to provide good service. He even offered to look at our car, which made a strange sound, because I'm a single woman. He also replaced the car's broken light for us. Only the Wifi often didn't want to work.

Rustige, gemaklike, veilige kuierplek.

Veilige, netjiese verblyf. Dit voel baie klein met die intrap slag, is eintlik net lekker 'cozy'. Ons het niks kort gekom nie. Daar was koffie, tee, beskuit en selfs ys en gebottelde koue water. Sou nog lekkerder gewees het as daar 'n afdak was by die ingang sodat mens lekker buite ook kon kuier, maar dis slegs 'n voorstel.

Quiet, comfortable, safe place to visit.

Safe, tidy accommodation. It feels very small when you step in, it's actually just nice and 'cozy'. We didn't come up short. There was coffee, tea, biscuits and even ice and bottled cold water. It would have been even nicer if there was a canopy at the entrance so that you could have a good time outside, but that's only a suggestion.

Baie lekker.

Die plekkie het handdoeke, skottelgoedseep, additionele komberse en alle kombuisbenodigdhede. Dis klein, maar het voldoen aan ons vereistes. Die eienaars het vir ons braaihout gegee en was vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Baie lekker.

Die bedlampies en warmkombers het steeds nie gewerk nadat die eienaar ’n kragkabel ingesit het nie. Die vloer gee mee wanneer mens daarop loop of staan. Ons besef dat die eienaar en sy vrou bedags werk en nie altyd beskikbaar is nie. Hulle is egter baie behulpsaam en gasvry.

Very nice.

The bedside lamps and warm blanket still did not work after the owner inserted a power cable. The floor gives when you walk or stand on it. We realize that the owner and his wife work during the day and are not always available. However, they are very helpful and hospitable.

Baie rustige omgewing.

Dit is kleiner as wat dit op die foto's wys, maar is voldoende vir oorslaap. Dit het alles wat nodig is vir 'n oornagplekkie. Troeteldiervriendelik. My hondjies het die groot erf (wat omhein is) baie geniet.

Ons het lekker gekuier en die gasheer het uit sy pad gegaan om ons te akkommodeer.

Die kuier was lekker en ons kon 'n troeteldier saam neem. Al wat so 'n bietjie gepla het, was die gasstofie wat op 'n baie klein gladde tafeltjie staan.

Gangbaar.

Die plekkie het die nodige fasiliteite vir selfsorg gehad. Daar was egter geen handdoeke nie. Die wasbak is pragtig, maar totaal onprakties, want dis hopeloos te klein om jou gesig te was, net goed vir handewas en tandeborsel.

Passable.

The place had the necessary facilities for self-catering. However, there were no towels. The sink is beautiful, but totally impractical, because it's hopelessly too small to wash your face, only good for washing hands and brushing teeth.
