Skoon en netjies, maar nie 4-ster verblyf nie. Eerder meer na 3-ster.

Translate to English.
Clean and tidy, but not 4-star accommodation. Rather more towards 3-star.
Braai facilities were missing and would be a plus. With load shedding, they were not prepared to turn on the generator for full time, as a guest on a trip one is not equipped to do without power. Mattresses very hard and uncomfortable.

Good overnight stop.
We slept over at The Venue on the way to the Cape and it's probably a good stop for something like this. Place was well furnished although personally I would just use a vacuum cleaner on the couch to clean between the cushions a bit but it wasn't a "deal breaker" just a personal suggestion.

Dis oukei, maar 'n R1000? Te veel vir 'n plek met stukkende teëls.

That's okay, but R1000? Too much for a place with broken tiles.

Disappointing.
The place is made for weddings and their guests. Yes there are plates etc. with practically everything you need for self-catering, but e.g. no drying cloths or dish soap. The fridge had never been cleaned in months and the dishes were all half-washed in the cupboards. I've stayed at places for half the price with no stars that are 100 times better equipped and cleaner. It was my last night of a wonderful holiday that I traveled almost 5000 km across the country, but my biggest disappointment. For weddings it's perfect because you eat in other places, but here you don't even have a table inside or outside. Very impractical for someone who is really looking for self-care.

Anonymous Guest - Apr 2019
Overall rating
Really unpleasant not to have access to a room in time for you to get ready for function after a very early booking and 550km of travel.
We got there on Saturday afternoon around 2:30pm and had to wait 35 minutes before someone showed up at the premises so we could check in and get to our room. There were staff in the kitchen but they said they couldn't help us. The kitchen staff ended up calling 2 different people who were both supposed to be there within 5 minutes, but no one came until just after 3pm. In the end we only had half an hour to get ready for and drive to the wedding. I made calls to The Venue's phone number, but it kept going to music. When the person at reception finally arrived, I already told her during the check-in that we were very dissatisfied and would not be staying for the 2nd night. We tried to check out at The Venue at around 08:30 on Sunday morning, but there was no one at reception. So we left the key in the room and drove off.

Slightly disappointed.
We were so looking forward to our stay with you - but were very disappointed. We didn't sleep at all where we expected. We had to sleep in a plot house and share it with complete strangers. We were not informed about it in advance at all. At the time of purchase, we also had to walk through the corridor to the bathroom (after the advertisement said they were en-suite rooms). Note: with other people who share the house with you. The bathroom door wouldn't open or close either. They informed us that you should only use a little aggression. We are really very disappointed! First morning at breakfast we also had to ask for butter/margarine with our toast. Filter coffee was also scarce - you couldn't have a second cup. I would recommend that you are notified if accommodation is changed. The dirt road to the plot house is also very poor - I don't know how guests with cars will drive it? Especially if you don't know you're going to drive that far on a dirt road as The Venue is actually right next to the road.

The Venue 's response
Beste Ronelle
Ek is so jammer dat jy teleurgesteld is. Ek kan jou belowe dat elke gas wat by ons oorbly se behoeftes van belang is. Ek sien dat jy nie direk by ons bespreek het nie, ek glo dat die misverstand daar ingekom het.
Oral waar ons gelys is, is die kamers wat op die ander perseel is gelys as Annex. Ons het dit juis gemerk as Annex omdat dit die volgende beteken. "a building joined to or associated with a main building, providing additional space or accommodation."
Kan jy asb die advertensie vir ons aanstuur wat adverteer dat dit 'n en-suite is. Ons sal dit graag onmiddellik wil verander, baie jammer hieroor. Ons is nie bewus hiervan nie.
Ek vra ook om verskoning oor die botter en die koffie, ons is baie gemaklik en hanteer ons gaste as familie en vriende, dus sou ons nie gehuiwer het om meer aan te bied nie.
Ek nooi jou uit om ons in die toekoms direk te kontak vir 'n bespreking.
Hoop jy vind dit in orde.
Vriendelike Groete
