The Rock 's response
Goeiedag Elmarie,
Ek is so jammer om te hoor jul was nie gelukkig by The Rock nie. Ek het werklik uit my pad uitgegaan om vir jul die tyd so aangenaam moontlik te maak. Al wat fout was waarvan ek bewus was, was dat die gasgeyser besluit het om te breek terwyl hy 'n maand vooraf wel gediens was. Ek het dit so aan jul verduidelik en selfs my huis vir jul oopgelaat om te kom en gaan soos jul wil terwyl ek nie hier was nie. As jul met my persoonlik dit opgeneem het, sou ek selfs sover gegaan het om van jul geld terug te betaal (wat ek ook aangebied het, maar dit was van die hand gewys). Ek is ook glad nie bewus daarvan dat jul gekla het oor die boom wat glo te laag was en jul motor beskadig het nie. Werklik jammer om te hoor van jul ontevredenheid so lank na die tyd, ek sou graag dit wou vergoed, maar dis nou te laat, die skade aan my instansie is klaar gedoen. Ons gaste bly gewoonlik baie lekker en is gewoonlik die beste, al wat ek kan doen is verskoning aanbied. Vriendelike groete. Eienaar.

Wonderful, hospitable people.
The Rock Self Care exceeded all our expectations. Bonus was the fact that the unit had solar power when load shedding. We will definitely use the unit again.

Baie dankie Monica. Jy en jou gesin was 'n vreugde om te huisves. Die kinder maatjies was so bly om saam te kon kom met hul ouers. Ons sien uit om jul weer eendag te ontvang.

It was awfully nice.
Anschen is a woman so close to my heart. She made us feel at home even before she met us. She has such a warm heart towards people and her service is proof of that. If I could I would give The Rock more than 100%. We really had a great weekend, thank you very much Anschen, you are a star.

Dit was vir my net so 'n plesier om julle twee vriendelike mense te ontmoet en ek waardeer jul boodskap net so baie. Dis gaste soos julle wat ons bedryf die moeite werd maak. Ons hoop om jul sommer gou weer te sien. Baie dankie.

The Rock 's response
Thank you for the lovely review, Antoinette. You were the first guest after the lockdowns were eased and I must say that the place was mostly closed for a long time and therefore the slight musty smell. Sorry to hear it was a problem, I'm sure next time will be perfect.

Best resting place, what a gemstone!
We can recommend this self-catering cottage if you are tired and feel like life is running away with you. The owner went out of her way to make me and my husband enjoy the few days. Even though it is just a self-catering unit, it felt like we were staying in a guest house. The place is clean and well hidden from the everyday noise, bedding is changed regularly. Our car was safely behind closed gates and the rock roads are close by. We were able to walk and admire the coastal area. You can smell the sea and hear it even if you don't see it. I can recommend the place for long term or short term and will definitely come again! What a hidden gem.

Friendly and safe accommodation within walking distance from the coastal path.
We had a great stay. The Rock was ideal for the two of us to use as a home base to explore the rest of the Overberg. Our hostess was very friendly and went out of her way to make us feel at home. We will definitely recommend The Rock, it was perfect for us and value for money.

Julle was die perfekte gaste en ons is bly dat jul besluit het om by ons plekkie te begin. Min mense besef hoe naby aan die rotspaaie en walvisse is nie. Kom gerus weer. Walvis seisoen is vanaf Julie hier!

Lovely stay for weekend but would not recommend for longer.
Clean, tidy place. Would recommend for weekend. The place is really not very big and after three weeks I felt very cramped. Close to sea and walking distance from town.

Dankie vir u resensie. Dit word altyd waardeer. Daar is paar plekkies in Hermanus wat heelwat duurder is as Cottage-on-the-Rock en wat u 2 hondekinders ook terselfdertyd sal kan akkommodeer soos wat ons gedoen het. Miskien kan u volgende keer moontlik liewer so ‘n groter plek oorweeg. Cottage-on-the-Rock is vanaf datum egter nie meer beskikbaar as diere-vriendelike vakansieverblyf nie. Ons wil geen gaste enige ongerief veroorsaak nie. Vriendelike groete. Anschen duplessis

A nice long weekend.
We had a great time and barbecued. Was very grateful that our dog could go with us. He is now part of the family. It is centrally located and I can definitely recommend it.

A peaceful getaway.
Thank you very much for a nice place to stay that was private, but also close to everything. The house was clean and tidy with a small fenced garden for the dogs and for barbecuing. The walking path is only a few minutes and Goering point about a 1.6 km walk. An ideal place to stay for 3 people who want peace and quiet, but also want to be close to shops and attractions. Thank you for allowing us to bring the dogs. We had a very nice stay.

Baie dankie vir die resensie, Annetjie. Ons strewe altyd daarna om vir ons gaste ‘n veilige en rustige omgewing te skep waar hul lekker en gemaklik kan kuier. Dis altyd lekker om die honde maatjies te verwelkom. Kom gerus weer.

Lovely, quiet and tranquil.
The only thing bothering us was the fact that you have to park your car outside on the sidewalk. The alarm tone when you switch it on and off is too quiet - a light at the front of the house would help. We never met the owner personally, something I would have liked.

Goeiedag Johan,
Ek neem kennis van u klagtes oor parkering, die alarm, en buiteligte.
Wat parkering aanbetref: Nicola, die dame wat op die perseel woon, is my persoonlike plaasvervanger om gaste te ontvang aangesien ekself soms oorsee is en ook op 'n ander dorp woon en dus nie self die sleutel kan oorhandig nie. Toe sy die sleutel oorhandig het en u kwitansie gegee het, het sy wel aan u die opsie gegee om parkering agter geslote hekke te neem teen 'n minimale fooi wat aan haar betaalbaar is.
Wat die alarm aanbetref: Die alarm het sy eie klank en die alarmmaatskappy doen hul eie ding. Die alarm sit agter en dis hoe dit is. Ons is van die min gasteplekke wat wel alarms het en ek kan nie die alarm harder maak of skuif nie, dit sal regulasies van wooneenhede oorskry.
Wat ligte voor die kothuis aanbetref: Saar is wel solarliggies wat die paadjie verlig in aanloop na die kothuis. Ons sal oorweeg om 'n ander lig aan die voorhekkie aan te bring - dankie vir u voorstel.
Wat die breekskade fooi aanbetref: Dankie dat u u bankbesonderhede aan my gestuur het op 16 Mei 2018 sodat ek dit kan terugbetaal aan u. Aangesien u in Windhoek woon, kan ek nie waarborg hoe lank dit sal neem om u te bereik deur die bankkanale nie.
Alhoewel u resensie welkom word, wil ek benadruk dat ongeag van die feit dat ons altyd daarna streef om elke gas se verblyf so aangenaam as moontlik te maak, kan ons ongelukkig nie almal tevrede stel nie.
Ons vertrou u vind dit in orde so.
Groete,
Mev. du Plessis
