I had a great stay - everything needed is in the unit. It was safe, quiet and clean.

Didn't expect that.
In the photos the place looks a little different. They have old photos on them and the light in the bathroom doesn't work. And the shower water is very cold or burns your skin and it was not a pleasant experience, otherwise it was good.

Beautiful in nature, but the place was not worth the money at all.
Look we have used many places to stay and never had any complaints but this place is the worst we have ever experienced. First of all the host is the most unfriendly person I have ever seen, with loadshedding there is no lamp or candle or anything. We came in late at night and had to trudge around in the dark until the man brought a small light. The coffee in the bottle is rock hard. The whole place smelled like cat pee, then I realized it was the blanket. Parking of such a nature that my husband bumped his bakkie. Gas geyser's water is hot for 2 seconds and then ice cold, so we showered with cold water. It felt to me like we were pushed into a hole underneath! No what, pictures were probably taken 20 years ago!

Disappointed.
If one worker had not spotted us at the gate, we would have waited a long time to get in, because the call we made was not answered. On arrival at 15:40 the reception was closed and another person called the hostess, who claimed she did not know about our booking. (She never made her appearance either.) The fridge is out of order and the toilet light is not working. The carpet by the mirror cabinet in the bathroom was wet. Fortunately the worn towels were clean and the beds were clean and tidy.

The Knoll Historic Guest Farm 's response
Good Day Quintus,
Thank you for your feedback, as we are able to improve our business though the feedback we receive from our customers.
With regards to the animal life you encountered. We are a Guest Farm in the country-side, we do try to maintain a balanced relationship with the natural environment that we are part of. With regards to the lights we apologize for the inconveniences caused, we try our best to react to the RSA electricity crisis. We will revise our power outage protocols so that future inconveniences are avoided.
Thank you for your feedback and we hope you give us another fair chance.
Kind regards,
The Knoll

Had a warm welcome, security made me feel comfortable as a single parent. Premises are nice clean and tidy. Room was nice and bedding fresh and warm. Unfortunately the bedside lamps didn't work, as did the bathroom light switch/string lol a bit, you have to pull it a few times before the light turns on.

They didn't know about my prepaid reservation.
On our arrival there we were greeted with a confusion like when guests arrive unexpectedly, which was exactly the case. Apparently our booked and paid for room was already occupied by other guests at that point. A plan was hastily made to provide us with a room, but it was not what I had paid for or was looking forward to.

Dear Conraad,
I am surprised at your comments, we had a discussion and a handshake to agree that we started off on the wrong foot by issuing you the incorrect room, after that you were moved immediately to the room you required, you mentioned that you had been travelling since 05:00 that morning, your check-in time was 17:30, and that you were over- tired. We shook hands and all seemed quite alright by the time I had made up your bed, clean toweling. I apologise for the detergent smell on your sheets. Thank you for your review and comments, they do assist us with our standards and our guests expectations.
Kind regards,
Niki

It's a rural atmosphere in the middle of a mad rush of holidaymakers, 2 kilometers away. Very friendly reception. Extreme hospitality. We would like to stay there again and again and again in the future.

Dear David,
Thank you for your thoughtful insight, our backpacker's units are our budget accommodations, we do have suites available at higher rates, I hopefully with rectify the difference with our Travel Agents so that everyone is well aware of what they are paying for.
All the best and thank you for your review, all comments are taken seriously and we try to assist our guests and their experience at our destination.

Lots of rain, no television, roads are bad, facilities are very basic.
Can think of providing a sitting room in main house with books, games etc. for bad weather. Probably ideal for 'Backpackers'. The advertisements for accommodation are a bit misleading.
