Unbelievable - but true.

The house we stayed in is an old (1724), lovingly restored house in the countryside. If you don't like that, you should go to Langebaan or something. The entire estate is part of an organic farm. There is also a restaurant: unexpectedly excellent cuisine. Next door is an art gallery worth seeing.

Pragtige ligging, wonderlike restaurant.

Na 'n lang dag op die bergpaaie kon ons heerlik ontspan by hierdie pragtige, rustige plek. Dit was 'n bonus om 'n heerlike aandete en ontbyt by die restaurant te kon eet. Baie dankie!

Rustig, met lekker vars lug en stilte.

Pragtige geskiedkundige geboue, maar tog ook prakties ingerig. Asemrowende natuur en drafroetes tussen die suurlemoenboorde. Ons sal nie weer op 'n ander plek in hierdie omgewing oorslaap nie.

As jy rus soek, is dit die regte plek; nie ver van die dorp nie.

Onvergetelik lekker gebly! Mooi uitsig oor die dal, huisie was komfortabel met baie ruimte. Die kar was veilig geparkeer voor die deur. Kombuis was baie gerieflik, sitkamer was lekker groot en aangenaam. Alles was netjies en skoon.

Verblyf en restaurant is onverbeterlik en baie goeie waarde vir geld.

Ons verblyf in die Kliphuis was fantasties, maar beter as selfs die verblyf was die restaurant op die plaas. Vir ons wat gereeld in restaurante reg deur die land eet, was dit 'n absolute onverwagte ervaring, van die unieke spyskaart tot die mees fantastiese geregte. Hierdie mense kan kos maak soos min. Baie dankie, vir jou vriendelikheid; jy het 'n wenresep!

Accommodation and restaurant are unbeatable and very good value for money.

Our stay in the Kliphuis was fantastic, but better than even the stay was the restaurant on the farm. For us who regularly eat in restaurants right across the country, this was an absolutely unexpected experience, from the unique menu to the most fantastic dishes. These people can cook like few. Thank you very much, for your kindness; you have a winning recipe!

We loved our stay. It was wonderful, very quiet, and serene, which was needed.

We enjoyed our stay, although there are not many activities for the children on the premises. Citrusdal is extremely hot. Maybe consider equipping all units with air conditioning (e.g. hotel only had fans), and it was rather uncomfortable. Furthermore, the stay was pleasant.

Pragtige historiese plaas in 'n pragtige ligging.

Ons het vanaf Namibië daar oorgeslaap oppad Kaap toe. Dit was baie mooi. Die Jakarandahuis was mooi gerestoureer en baie gemaklik. Ons het daar op die ou Greyspas gery en by die damme op die plaas vertoef. Dit was 'n belewenis!

Ons was 'n familie van 'n oupa en ouma, en ons vier kinders met hul gesinne, wat die naweek by The Old Village was. Almal het dit terdeë geniet!

My man en ek was al twee keer vantevore by The Old Village, en ons het gedink dat die hele opset baie goed kan werk vir 'n familiefees met klein kindertjies. Dit was ook so: elke gesin het sy eie chalet gehad, en ons kon oor en weer met mekaar kuier. Die chalets was baie mooi gerestoureer, en goed toegerus. Ons kinders het groot waardering vir die manier hoe die huise, sommiges uit 1752, bewaar word. Sonia wat alles bestuur, is voortreflik! Baie dankie Sonia en jou span. Ons het ook ons Familiefees afgesluit met 'n heerlike buffetete deur Sonia en haar span, die Sondagmiddag.

We were a family of a grandfather and grandmother, and our four children with their families, who were at The Old Village for the weekend. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it!

My husband and I have been to The Old Village twice before, and we thought that the whole setup could work very well for a family festival with small children. It was also like this: each family had its own chalet, and we could visit each other again and again. The chalets were very nicely restored, and well equipped. Our children have great appreciation for the way the houses, some from 1752, are preserved. Sonia who manages everything is excellent! Thank you very much Sonia and your team. We also concluded our Family Festival with a delicious buffet dinner by Sonia and her team on Sunday afternoon.

Ons familie, bestaande uit 5 egpare, waarvan 2 egpare klein kindertjies gehad het, het 'n heerlike naweek by The Old Village deurgebring.

Almal was baie beïndruk met die akkommodasie van pragtig gerestoureerde huisies, en het die plaas-atmosfeer terdeë geniet. Baie dankie aan Sonia en haar span! Dit was die 3e keer dat my man en ek in Rooibos was - hierdie keer saam met ons kinders en kleinkinders. Ons sal weer en weer wil gaan! En noudat ons die ander huisies gesien het, sal ons ook graag daarin wil tuisgaan! Ons hou van die geskiedenis wat so mooi bewaar word, asook die moderne geriewe wat 'n kuier baie gemaklik en lekker maak. Die gratis vuurmaakhout word hoog waardeer! Ons kon ons kuier afsluit met 'n heerlike buffetete die Sondagmiddag. Baie, baie dankie Sonia en span!

Our family, consisting of 5 couples, of which 2 couples had small children, spent a lovely weekend at The Old Village.

Everyone was very impressed with the accommodation of beautifully restored cottages, and thoroughly enjoyed the farm atmosphere. Many thanks to Sonia and her team! It was the 3rd time that my husband and I were in Rooibos - this time with our children and grandchildren. We will want to go again and again! And now that we have seen the other houses, we would like to live in them too! We like the history that is so beautifully preserved, as well as the modern facilities that make a visit very comfortable and enjoyable. The free firewood is much appreciated! We were able to end our visit with a delicious buffet dinner on Sunday afternoon. Many, many thanks Sonia and team!

Nostalgiese en lieflike wegbreek.

Wat 'n wonderlike ervaring om by die Old Villiage te kon tuisgaan! Sonia en haar span se gasvryheid en kliëntediens is puik! Sit gerus ook aan vir ete by die restaurant, hulle kos is heerlik en porsies is ruim. Vir atmosfeer kan mens nie vir beter vra nie. Daar is nie 'n deeltjie van enige gebou wat nie jare se stories vertel en mens skoon nostalgies maak nie. Lees gerus bietjie oor die geskiedenis van die besonderse ou dorpie en kom herleef in jou verbeelding hoe mense hier geleef en gewerk het en kom luister na die stories wat die dik ou kleimure en die gladgeloopte houtvloere vir jou fluister. Vir dié wat gerief soek, hier is genoeg en dis stylvol en simpatiek met die ryk geskiedenis gedoen. Die kombuis is ingerig met alle basiese benodighede, daar is wifi, lugversorging, warm water, braaigeriewe ens. en dit alles is presies en super netjies en skoon. Old Villiage, ons sien julle beslis weer!

Nostalgic and lovely getaway.

What a wonderful experience to be able to stay at the Old Villiage! Sonia and her team's hospitality and customer service is great! Feel free to also sit down for dinner at the restaurant, their food is delicious and portions are generous. For atmosphere, one could not ask for better. There is not a part of any building that does not tell years of stories and makes you nostalgic. Feel free to read a bit about the history of the special old village and come and relive in your imagination how people lived and worked here and come and listen to the stories that the thick old clay walls and the smooth wooden floors whisper to you. For those looking for comfort, there is enough here and it's done stylishly and sympathetically with the rich history. The kitchen is furnished with all basic necessities, there is wifi, air conditioning, hot water, braai facilities etc. and all of it is precise and super neat and clean. Old Villiage, we will definitely see you again!

Groot huis pragtig gemeubileer. Lekker snoesige bed en heerlike warm stort.

Pragtige uitsig uit al die vensters. Huis mooi gemeubileer behalwe vir die baie klein TV. Daar was ook nie hout vir die kaggel nie. Gedink die braai is op die stoep, maar jy moet met trappe afgaan na die braai. Ongelukkig het dit gestort reën en kon ons nie van die braaihout gaan haal vir die kaggel nie en kon ons ook nie braai soos ons wou nie. Moes toe maar broodjie eet. Kon ook nêrens die wagwoord vir die WiFi kry nie.

Thought the braai was on the stoep, but you have to go down stairs to the braai. Unfortunately, it rained and we couldn't get some of the braai wood for the fireplace and we couldn't braai as we wanted either. Had to eat a sandwich. Couldn't find the WiFi password anywhere either.

The Old Village is 'n heerlike afsaalplekkie waar jy behoorlik kan rus. Die swembad en restaurant dra baie by tot die gerief, veral in die hitte van 42°C. 'n verdere verrassing is die Art Gallery wat 'n interressante verskeidenheid van plaaslike kunstenaars bied. Kan dit beslis aanbeveel.

Would not visit again.

We arrived mid-afternoon. Cold afternoon. Both (2) air conditioners did not work as well as the TV. The handyman was unsuccessful in repairing any of these issues. The blind in the kitchen did not open. Sonia did try her best to accommodate us. The kitchen blind would not open.

Groot stylvolle huis met pragtige uitsig!

Die gasvrou is baie behulpsaam en vriendelik. Ons het die Jakaranda huis gehad, die kamers is baie ruim, stort koppe is groot en hoog met goeie drukking, kombuis is bietjie klein, maar goed ingerig, en die stoep buite is heerlik laat middag vir n braai met 'n uitsig oor die berge! Let wel as jy troeteldiere het, dat die huis nie omhein is nie. Ongelukkig is daar geen geriewe vir tydens loadshedding nie, so vat dalk 'n gas bottel/ stofie en ligte saam! Ons het ons verblyf baie geniet!

Large stylish house with a beautiful view!

The hostess is very helpful and friendly. We had the Jakaranda house, the rooms are very spacious, shower heads are large and high with good pressure, kitchen is a bit small, but well equipped, and the veranda outside is great for a late afternoon barbecue with a view of the mountains ! Note if you have pets, that the house is not fenced. Unfortunately, there are no facilities for loadshedding, so maybe take a gas bottle/duster and lights with you! We really enjoyed our stay!

We were looking specifically for a place where we can take our dogs. We stayed in Rooibos with a balcony which workout so well. We were able to take our dogs on a walk to the nearby dam. On site is a beautiful rustic restaurant and bar with lovely staff and good food.

Heerlik geslaap.

Sentrale ligging met alles wat nodig is in 'n baie oulike eenheid (Jakaranda). Die N7 se verkeer pla ook glad nie. Die gasvrou was behulpsaam met beurtkrag (ons het wegneem pizzas bestel) en voorstelle gemaak vir aankope in die dorp. Mooi uitsig oor die vallei en berge van die stoep af. Ons sal weer kom kuier.

Central location with everything needed in a very cute unit (Jakaranda). The N7's traffic doesn't bother you at all either.

Rustig en gerieflik.

Dit is my 3de (en vir seker nie laaste) keer by The Old Village. Die pragtige area en rustigheid is net wat 'n mens nodig het om bietjie uit die stad te kom. Die huisie is fantasties ingerig en ek en my nefie kon elke aand lekker braai met hout wat voorsien was. Die wandelpadjies is ook al te lekker. Spesiale dank aan Sonia wat ons gratis opgradeer het na 'n ander huisie voordat ons gearriveer het weens dreinprobleme die oggend met die huisie wat ons oorspronklik bespreek het.

Quiet and comfortable.

This is my 3rd (and for sure not last) time at The Old Village. The beautiful area and tranquility are just what one needs to get out of the city for a bit. The house is fantastically furnished and my nephew and I were able to have a nice barbecue every night with wood that was provided. The walking paths are also too nice. Special thanks to Sonia who upgraded us to another cottage free of charge before we arrived due to drainage problems in the morning with the cottage we originally booked.

Dit was 'n belewenis om deel te word van 'n storie van lank gelede. Ons ontvangs, die huisvesting (met 'n kaggelvuur), die omgewing, en aandete was puik. Ons wil definitief weer gaan en langer bly, en ons beveel dit hoog aan. Baie dankie Sonia!

Ons het die akkommodasie van hoogstaande gehalte gevind. Ons huis, Rooibos, was netjies, en ruim, en die kaggel op 'n koel winteraand was al te heerlik. In die verte kon ons Citrusdal se liggies sien. Dis vir my baie belangrik dat gastehuise kookwater stort- en badwater het, en ons is nie teleurgestel nie! Dit was ook heerlik om op die plaas rond te stap, en ons het gedink om op 'n volgende keer met ons kleinkinders soontoe te gaan. Toe ons teen sononder die geure uit die kombuis ruik, het ons besluit om aan te sit vir aandete, en was die "oxtail" en ertjiesop uit die boonste rakke! Baie dankie Sonia vir jou gasvryheid, vir jou kookkuns, en dat jy so mooi na hierdie kosbare kultuurerfenis kyk! Ons hoop om jou binnekort weer te sien! Mooi loop!

It was an experience to become part of a story from a long time ago. Our reception, the accommodation (with a log fire), the surroundings, and dinner were superb. We definitely want to go again and stay longer, and we highly recommend it. Thank you very much Sonia!

We found the accommodation to be of high quality. Our house, Rooibos, was neat and spacious, and the fireplace on a cool winter's evening was all too delicious. In the distance we could see Citrusdal's lights. It is very important to me that guesthouses have boiling water for showers and baths, and we were not disappointed! It was also lovely to walk around the farm, and we are thinking of going there with our grandchildren on another occasion. When we smelled the aromas from the kitchen at sunset, we decided to sit down for dinner, and the "oxtail" and pea soup were top notch! Thank you very much Sonia for your hospitality, for your cooking, and for looking so carefully at this precious cultural heritage! We hope to see you again soon! Walk carefully!

Lieflike uitsig oor die vallei terwyl jy braai.

Die huis het ons verwagtinge oortref. Jakaranda is besonder goed onderhou in die antieke styl en die huis sowel as die werf was baie skoon. Sonia is uitsonderlik bekwaam en vriendelik. Sy het nie net voorsiening getref vir braaihout, beskuitjies, melk en water in die yskas nie, maar het ook die lugreëlings vroeër die dag aangesit sodat ons in 'n heerlike koel huis kon instap. Ons het Jakaranda gekies, want ons 2 kinders is al groot en hier het elkeen sy eie kamer met badkamer gehad. Dis vir seker baie goeie waarde vir geld, en met Sonia se gawe diens, en die heerlike Sondag-buffetmiddagete, sal ons vir seker weer daar gaan bly.

Lovely view of the valley while you barbecue.

The house exceeded our expectations. Jakaranda is exceptionally well maintained in the antique style and the house as well as the yard were very clean. Sonia is exceptionally competent and friendly. She not only made provisions for braai wood, biscuits, milk and water in the fridge, but also turned on the air conditioning earlier in the day so that we could walk into a wonderfully cool house. We chose Jakaranda, because our 2 children are already grown up and here each had their own room with bathroom. It's definitely very good value for money, and with Sonia's kind service, and the delicious Sunday buffet lunch, we'll definitely be staying there again.

Uitstekend.

Dit was vir ons heerlik om net buite die dorp in hierdie pragtige historiese huis te bly. Sonia was so gaaf om reeds vroeg die lugversorgers aan te skakel, sodat ons in die versengende hittegolf in 'n lieflike koel huis kon instap. Daar is 'n lieflike uitsig oor die omgewing vanaf die stoep, met alles en meer as wat ons benodig het in die kombuis. Die skitter skoon swembad het ook heerlike lafenis gebied.

It was lovely for us to stay just outside of town in this beautiful historic house.

Heerlike, rustige omgewing. Ouwêreldse gevoel met moderne luukshede.

Ligging is ideaal om bietjie rond te ry vir blommekyk by Biedouwvallei of Matjiesfonteinplaas naby Nieuwoudtville, besoek ook die waterval en kokerboomwoud naby Nieuwoudtville. Of jy kan net rustig kuier op Jakaranda se stoep en oor die vallei sit en staar. Restaurant ook op terrein as jy nie self wil kos maak nie.

Location is ideal for driving around for flower viewing at Biedouwvallei or Matjiesfontein farm near Nieuwoudtville, also visit the waterfall and quiver tree forest near Nieuwoudtville.

We really enjoyed our (unfortunately only 1 night) at the premises as is is stunningly located and the nicely equipped. We ware accommodated in the Smitswinkel house - on if not the oldest building on the farm. This house had a very nice yard as well as a ice terrace as well as braai place for us to enjoy, comfy beds and lots of character. Highly recommend when you are looking for something remote to escape the bustle of the Mother City.

Pragtige 'historiese' verblyf tussen sitrusboorde.

Ons was tuis in die Kerkhuisie van The Old Village. Die kaggel met genoeg hout het die plekkie knus laat voel tydens twee baie koue aande. Sou miskien voorstel dat daar ekstra matte in die kombuis en eetkamer op die koue sementvloer kom. Ekstra warm komberse kan ook help. Die plekkie is goed toegerus en ons kon ook heerlik gaan stap en draf tussen die vrugteboorde. Die WiFi en TV het perfek gewerk.

Beautiful 'historic' accommodation among citrus groves.

We were at home in the Church House of The Old Village. The fireplace with enough wood made the place feel cozy during two very cold evenings. Would perhaps suggest extra carpeting in the kitchen and dining room on the cold cement floor. Extra warm blankets can also help. The place is well equipped and we were also able to go walking and jogging between the fruit orchards. The WiFi and TV worked perfectly.

Gemiddeld.

Baie van die geskiedenis van die plek gehou, die meubels baie oud en pas by die plek. Al is die bed oud en gerieflik, het dit heelnag gekraak. Voel of die bed geselskap gesoek het. Was deur die nag steurend. My kind het die 2de nag 'n opblaasmatras gebring en ek het eerder daarop geslaap. Ek hou daarvan dat die gasvrou/-heer 'n afstand hou, maar hulle glad nie gesien of ontmoet nie. Bietjie persoonlike kontak is altyd goed.

Average.

Loved the history of the place, the furniture very old and suits the place. Even though the bed is old and comfortable, it creaked all night. Feels like the bed has been looking for company. Was disturbing through the night. My child brought an air mattress the 2nd night and I slept on it instead. I like the hostess/gentleman to keep a distance, but not see or meet them at all. A little personal contact is always good.

Ou-Kaapse sjarme.

Wat 'n fantastiese plek! Ons het in die 2-slaapkamer Rooiboskothuis gebly. Daardie stoep is die beste ooit en het gesorg vir lekker kuier met 'n asemrowende uitsig oor die Olifantsrivier en Citrusdal. Die kaggel in die ruim sitkamer het gesorg vir ekstra gesellighied. Die kamers was pynlik netjies met kraakvars wit linne en was die gladste gestryk wat ek in my lewe gesien het. Daar sal ons weer gaan bly.

Old Cape charm.

What a fantastic place! We stayed in the 2-bedroom Rooibos cottage. That stoep is the best ever and made for a nice visit with a breathtaking view of the Olifants River and Citrusdal. The fireplace in the spacious living room provided extra cosiness. The rooms were painstakingly neat with crisp white linen and the smoothest ironing I have ever seen in my life. We will stay there again.

My kuier by The Old Village was besonders lekke.

Die ligging van die verblyf is puik en dra by tot die atmosfeer wat ons wou gehad het. Kalmte, rustigheid en die groenheid van die natuur rondom jou maak dit 'n ideale kuierplek. Dis baie skoon en het genoegsame spasie as julle as 'n groep, gesin en paartjie wil wegbreek. Ons hoogtepunt van alles is die kaggel wat die oopruim leefarea karakter gee. Ek het dit besonders geniet en beveel dit aan enigeen aan wat net rustigheid en 'n lekker wegbreek nodig het.

The location of the accommodation is great and adds to the atmosphere we wanted. Calmness, tranquility and the greenery of the nature around you make it an ideal place to visit. It's very clean and has enough space if you want to get away as a group, family or couple. Our highlight of all is the fireplace that gives character to the open plan living area. I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone who just needs tranquility and a nice getaway.

Relaxing, pleasant and enjoyed by the whole family. Good destination for children too.

Had a very pleasant relaxing stay. Cottage is cosy with a lovely big fireplace for the chilly evenings. Helped that the accommodation was pet friendly (veranda enclosed to ensure that our husky could be left some of the time) even though he chose to chase the cows on one occasion. Tired him out for the rest of the weekend so it was an advantage. Pity we could not use the dining facility due to Covid but were able to order take aways which was great. Would definitely go again.

Puik wegbreekplaas.

Ons het lekker fietsgery op die ou pas, Grey's pass. Daar is 'n lekker swembad vir wanneer die vallei warm word, en verkoeling in die slaapkamers. Die perseel is ruim vir vier mense. Selfs 'n restaurant op die perseel om mamma te bederf. Selfs met stadige verkeer is dit net minder as 2 uur van die Kaap af. Absolute puik plek on Lekke te Slaap.

Great getaway farm.

We had a great time cycling on the old pass, Gray's pass. There is a nice pool for when the valley heats up, and cooling in the bedrooms. The premises are spacious for four people. Even an on-site restaurant to spoil mum. Even with slow traffic, it's just under 2 hours from the Cape. Absolutely great place to sleep in Lekke.

Baie lekker gebly in die Smitswinkel, baie netjiese ou huis met baie spasie vir binne en buite kuier.

Tipiese ou plaashuis in 'n baie goeie toestand. Die kamers, en suite-badkamers, kombuis, leefarea en stoep is lekker groot. Baie mooi uitsig en stil, met die hier-en-daar lorrie wat af by die pas dreun, maar niks wat ons gehinder het nie. Algeheel 'n baie lekker verblyfopsie.

Wonderlike tyd op die plaas.

Ons was as gesin by Old Village vir 'n langnaweek. Daar is nie een enkele slegte ding wat ek kan sê van ons besoek nie! Dit was werklik 'n heerlike wegbreek. Ons het in 'n nuut oorgedoende huis gebly met al die moderne geriewe wat jy voor kon vra. Die kinders (en die hond) het die plaas baie geniet en het veilig gevoel om hulle daar te laat rond beweeg. Die stap op teen die ou bergpas wat op die plaas begin was vir seker 'n hoogtepunt van ons verblyf.

Wonderful time on the farm.

We were at Old Village as a family for a long weekend. There is not a single bad thing I can say about our visit! It was truly a lovely break. We stayed in a newly remodeled house with all the modern amenities you could ask for. The children (and the dog) really enjoyed the farm and felt safe letting them move around there. The walk up the old mountain pass that starts on the farm was for sure a highlight of our stay.

We were met by a friendly kind host & recieved special Cape hospitality with oranges, fruit and wood for the fireplace!

The Smitswinkel cottage is very quaint and the interior is special also in the light of its unique history! The linen was crisp & clean(just struggled to get the one air conditioner to heat up in the mainbedroom as it was a bit chilly& an additional blanket per bed could possibly be considered for future guests.. Fortunately the following night the weather was pleasant) We were greeted with the beautiful sunrise settings seen peeping over the mountain framed by of the pictureque stabledoor. The lounge fireplace at night was a great delight, but keep a watch out for that one low kitchenlintol! Overall we had a blessed spacious comfortable& lovely stay !

Hallo Pieter,

Dankie dat jul ons jul keuse gemaak het vir 'n wegbreek. Die koffiekoppies het darem nou Beker maatjies bygekry. Kom kuier gerus weer.

Wonderful atmosphere in professionally and well-restored old village.

Stayed in The Smithy which was beautifully restored and furnished. Made to feel very welcome with bowls of citrus, rusks, biscuits and all amenities. Would love to stay there again.

Pragtige ligging! Skoon en netjies, met vyfster-meubels en heerlike lugversorging.

Die restaurant se kos is puik, probeer gerus die Sondag-buffet en die liplekker ribbetjies, 'n dubbelporsie groot genoeg om enige honger te stil. Beplan om ten minste 10 dae te kom kuier, daar is soveel om in die area te doen, Citrusdal is pragtig.

Beautiful location! Clean and tidy, with five-star furniture and great air conditioning.

The restaurant's food is great, try the Sunday buffet and the lip-smacking ribs, a double portion big enough to satisfy any hunger. Plan to visit at least 10 days, there is so much to do in the area, Citrusdal is beautiful.

Heerlik gewees. Ons troeteldier kon ook saamkom.

Ons het heerlik gekuier by Old Village. Die huisie was baie skoon en gerieflik. Swembad was silwerskoon en 'n klipgooi vanaf die huisie waar ons gebly het. Sal dit aanbeveel vir ander.

Was wonderful. Our pet could also come along.

We had a wonderful time at Old Village. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. Pool was clean and a stone's throw from the cottage we stayed at. Would recommend it to others.

Pragtige huis met asemrowende uitsig!

Pragtige groot huis, baie skoon en netjies. Vriendelike personeel, wat ook die waterprobleem vinnig uitsorteer het. Eetgerei moet asb nagegaan word vir volledigheid voor gaste arriveer. 'n Bonus is die restaurant binne loopafstand. Lekker gebly vir 2 dae!

Beautiful house with a breathtaking view!

Beautiful big house, very clean and tidy. Friendly staff, who also sorted out the water problem quickly. Cutlery must be checked for completeness before guests arrive. A bonus is the restaurant within walking distance. Nice stay for 2 days!

Hallo Alida

Jammer vir die eetgerei wat nie voltallig was nie en vir die onvoorsiene water probleem. Ons hoop om julle in die nabye toekoms weer te sien.
