Exquisitely beautiful, calming, exciting, and charming.

The place guides you into a different era. The place is glamoured with gorgeous antique tea sets, princess Anne furniture and porcelain dolls. The paintings on the walls make you feel like a member of the royal household. We never wanted to leave. It's a place of exquisite beauty and homeliness.

Dit was gemiddeld, maar ons was teleurgesteld, omdat die term "Boutique Guest House" die verwagting baie hoog gestel het.

Teen die koste behoort ontbyt ingesluit te gewees het. My man het een oggend die gasvrou gevra vir 'n omelet en sy het gesê dat die ontbyt 'n Engelse ontbyt is wat nie omelette insluit nie (aangesien 'n omelet van Franse herkoms is). Ons het gevoel dat dit onnodig was en dat die kombuis 'n omelet kon voorsien. Oor die algemeen was die huis baie vol en die feit dat ons badkamer nie 'n stort gehad het nie, was 'n groot minus. Daar is wel 'n ander badkamer (wat 'n stort het) vir ons aangebied, maar om daar te kom, moet mens deur die hele gastehuis (insluitend 'n sitkamer) stap om te gaan stort. Nodeloos om te sê, my man het nie daarvan gebruik gemaak nie.

It was average, but we were disappointed, because the term "Boutique Guest House" set the expectation very high.

The cost should have included breakfast. One morning my husband asked the hostess for an omelette and she said that the breakfast was an English breakfast which did not include omelettes (since an omelette is of French origin). We felt that this was unnecessary and that the kitchen could provide an omelette. In general the house was very full and the fact that our bathroom did not have a shower was a big minus. There is another bathroom (which has a shower) offered to us, but to get there, one has to walk through the entire guest house (including a living room) to take a shower. Needless to say, my husband didn't take advantage of it.

Very disapointing.

Very bad experience. I will not recommend The Summer Place to anyone and will never ever stay over there again. R120.00 for breakfast which was two eggs, two pieces of bacon and a small sausage, I think that's ridiculous.

Te duur vir dit wat ons gekry het.

Na 'n lang reis moes ek 15 min wag voor die hek voor iemand oopgemaak het. Slegs een handdoek in badkamer gekry (ons was twee persone). Geen haardroër vir my vrou gewees nie. Geen bad nie en slegs 'n stort. Voel net dat dit heeltemal te duur is vir dit wat ons gekry het. Uitgesien om daar te oornag (gegewe die naam wat die woord "Boutique" insluit en die prys per nag en na 'n lang reis van die Kaap af). Ongelukkig teleurgesteld en sal nie weer daar oorbly nie.

Too expensive for what we got.

After a long trip I had to wait 15 minutes in front of the gate opened before some opened up. Only one towel in bathroom (we were two people). No hair dryer for my wife. No bath, only a shower. Just feel that it's too expensive for what we got. Looked forward to staying here (given the use of the word "Boutique" in the name, the price per night, and the fact that we had a long trip from the Cape). Unfortunately disappointed and will not stay here again.

Baie aangenaam, gerieflik en rustige verblyf.

Die gasvrou moet tem alle tye deur goeie en slegte tye daar vir haar gaste. Sy moet nie wegskram en haar personeel los om die probleem te hanteer nie. Verder was dit baie lekker om daar te kon bly.

Very pleasant, comfortable and peaceful stay.

The hostess must always be there for her guests through good and bad times. She should not shy away and leave her staff to deal with the problem. Furthermore, it was very nice to be able to stay there.

Value for money category needs to be addressed. The price was suitable if breakfast was included.

Sal U asb vir ons meer terugvoering gee, sodat ons hierop kan verbeter of verander.

Die verblyf was baie lekker en die eienaar is 'n baie aangename persoon en gasvry.

Het lekker gebly en sal weer daar oorbly in die toekoms wanneer ek en gesin in Bloemfontein is. Regtig baie aangenaam.

Baie lekker gebly in hierdie stil area en veilig gevoel.

Baie oulike plekkie. Te veel tierlantyntjies en snuisterye maak dat mens maklik iets omstamp. Koffietafetjie is glad en warm bekers en ketel skuif maklik af. Nogtans baie lekker gebly.

Very cute place. Too many trinkets and trinkets make it easy to knock something over. Coffee tapestry is smooth and hot mugs and kettle slide off easily. Still very nice stay.
