Pragtig gastehuis, groot met heerlike stoep en pragtige tuin.

Pragtige pragtige tuin, heerlike koel kamer wat baie help as dit 38 grade buitekant is. Daar was 'n dubbel bespreking toe ons arriveer, maar gelukkig het ek 'n bewys op WhatsApp gehad om ons bespreking te bevestig. Geen ander probleme nie. Wonderlike ervaring.

Great gem to stay at.

Great stay, just needs a bit of attention to detail. Lighting is very poor, no Rooibos tea, and no milk. I understand it is self-catering, but the basic supplies are standard.

Expected more. atmosphere was lacking.

The place has potential to improve. It was a bit cold and if there had been a lovely fire burning in the fireplace we would have felt more welcome. Lovely garden and outside area but inside lacked the atmosphere that can be achieved through authentic furniture and carpets. Shower without shower cubicle made floor dangerously slippery. This is a very old residence with beautiful plank floors and as already mentioned, a lot of potential. Just adapt the interior to the era.

The Townhouse 's response

Hello Monique, thank you for taking the time to review. The house is self check-in, as explained in the property listing and also the morning welcome message. The welcome message also states that we are on hand should you need anything, for guidance on the town, restaurants etc., you need only ask. The welcome message also requests that you please bring everything you need as it is fully self-catering, except that coffee, tea, sugar, hand soaps are provided. There are fresh flowers and plants in the house for your pleasure, as well as a kitchen garden for you to enjoy fresh produce, so I am sorry and surprised that you did not feel that you were not made welcome. There is a hand soap next to each of the basins in the four bathrooms as well as one in the kitchen - it may have been an oversight of ours if you could not find one in the kitchen, but again, you need only have asked and we would have been delighted to have replaced a missing one. Kind regards, The Townhouse management

Heerlike kuier-huis met oulike klein touches.

Ons het 'n wonderlike familiekuier gehad met 3 generasies onder een dak. Dit was 'n bibberkoue naweek, maar die knetterende vuurtjie in die seramiek-firepot in die sitkamer was so lekker knus en warm. Daar is 'n pragtige firepit buite ook. Lekker dik vereduvets het gesorg vir warm slaap! Werklik 'n pragtige ou huis met meer as genoeg slaapplek vir almal. Afsonderlike badkamers maak dit ook baie gerieflik vir 'n groot familie.

Lovely cozy house with cute little touches.

We had a great family outing with 3 generations under one roof. It was a bitterly cold weekend, but the crackling fire in the ceramic firepot in the living room was so cozy and warm. There is a beautiful firepit outside as well. Nice thick feather duvets ensured a warm sleep! A truly beautiful old house with more than enough sleeping space for everyone. Separate bathrooms also make it very convenient for a large family.

Wonderlik. Nie een van ons wou dit verlaat nie. Mees fantastiese ondervinding en atmosfeer.

Die huis is groot en netjies, met 'n grote tuin met baie voëltjies. Dit het 'n atmosfeer wat jou nostalgies maak en jy wil net daar bly waar die tyd stilstaan en lewe nog waarde het. Die huis is skoon en netjies en het heerlike slaapgeriewe met lugversorgers. Woorde doen dit net nie gestand nie, jy moet dit ondervind.

Wonderful. Neither of us wanted to leave it. Most fantastic experience and atmosphere.

The house is large and tidy, with a large garden with many birds. It has an atmosphere that makes you nostalgic and you just want to stay there where time stands still and life still has value. The house is clean and tidy and has great sleeping facilities with air conditioners. Words just don't do it justice, you have to experience it.

Wonderful house with a beautiful garden.

We had a wonderful stay in this house. What a pleasant surprise. We loved the house, the garden, the space, the beds were comfortable. We loved to have our breakfast in the garden at the comfortable chairs, enjoying the sun and the garden. We also enjoyed the evenings around the fire. Restaurants are really close. We absolutely hope to come again. Very safe and clean and comfortable.

Gerieflike oorblyverblyf in outydse sjarme.

Dié ou huis in die historiese dorp, Graaff-Reinet, gee 'n egte en aangename "outydse sjarme"-gevoel. Die toesluitmotorhuis is raar, maar baie welkom! Die huis is sentraal in 'n stil omgewing geleë, met gerieflike braai- en ander geriewe vir buitewees op die groot terrein.

This old house in the historic town of Graaff-Reinet gives a genuine and pleasant "old-fashioned charm" feeling. The lock up garage is weird, but very welcome! The house is centrally located in a quiet environment, with convenient braai and other facilities for being outdoors on the large grounds.

There is a shortage of trash cans in the rooms and bathrooms, preferably every room needs one. The outdoor furniture was very dusty. Some of the doors and gates were very difficult to open. However, we had a nice stay and will stay there again.

Excellent location and perfect for a family with children and animals.

While we enjoyed our stay here I would say it is rustic. The garden is unfinished as is stated on the website and building is in progress - this makes it a bit of a danger for a toddler and animals as there are loose objects lying around. We had two cars and a trailer and were a bit concerned about the safety of off street parking. All turned out well though and I am sure when the renovations are complete we will visit again.

Kombuis was nie goed genoeg toegerus nie. Daar was bv. nie eens 'n rasper of opskeplepels nie. Dit is goed genoeg vir koffie, tee en ontbyt, maar nie as mens maaltye self wil voorberei en bedien nie. Andersins is dit 'n heerlike plek.
