Nice and quiet and safe.
We were a family gathering for a long weekend. The house was perfectly big enough for us. The braai area and pool was a winner! The kitchen lacks some things to make good food, but we made a plan.

Nice close to afridome.
Easily accessible from Afridome, and enough if you just sleep there. I would just suggest that the shower is looked at the water runs back into the whole bathroom which makes it unpleasant with everything getting wet. Wifi was also not available in the garden room itself, but outside on the "stoepie", not a very big issue as I only spent the night there during an auction, but future guests may complain about it.

It was just a getaway reset 2 night visit to relax; achieved the goal.
I agree. Negative: was a little disappointed in the room. Had deja-vu moment with our stay long back in Montmartre, Paris. Room smaller than expected, closet only a rail, no shelf, no place to hang towels in bathroom, no hand wash towel, entire bathroom floor gets wet when you take a shower, no toilet top cover, Wifi is non-existent. Furthermore, the address was wrong and we had to search back and forth. Apparently there are 2 White Giraffe places in Paris, one White Giraffe River Cottage and then the one where we were, far from the river. The address is on Fick Street near the river, we were on h/v West and Schlibach Street, very far from the river. No one bothered to let people know that the address is wrong and it creates a false illusion of where the accommodation is. It's something that needs to be corrected. The stepping stones must be relaid again because they are loose and unsafe, a tripping hazard. Positive: everything was nice and clean. Simon received us kindly. The stoepie is nice to visit and we had a good time "chilling" there. Bedding and towels were good. The place is value for R600/night, but again just needs some TLC. Bed slept well and despite the long "negative" list, had a good time there.

Sorry I didn't book in another place.
Positive: Simon lent me a hairdryer. Negative: The bathroom toilet does not flush. No toilet brush or air freshener. There is no place to hang a towel when you get out of the shower. Shower spills wet all over the floor with no place to put anything down. No hand soap at sink. Faucet sprays in all directions and hot and cold are swapped. Bedroom is very small. Two people will have a hard time fitting in there. Kitchen on the stoep looks cute, but everything is dirty when the wind stirs. WiFi is pathetic. Locks have difficulty opening and closing. I slept there for five nights for a congress, and Simon never once came to inquire if everything was alright. The access gate is difficult and heavy to open and close. With a little effort he could improve the place, but I wouldn't like to stay there again.

I would also suggest maybe putting some multi-adapters in the rooms for recharging your phone or using your computer.

Amazing accommodation.
The accommodation was comfortable, tidy and surprisingly large. The pictures of the place are already impressive, but we were still surprised by how big it is. The owners are pleasant, but not terribly chatty. Prepare questions about WiFi etc. already before otherwise you will call them constantly (they are easy to get hold of and helpful). Just take two-point plugs or multi-point plugs together, some of the rooms' power points are difficult to use conveniently.

We visited Paris as a couple of friends for a few days and were looking for a house close to everything where we could have a nice cozy time.
The White Giraffe is a nicely appointed house with plenty of space - so a nice house for a group that wants to stay together. The garden is neat and the swimming pool is a big bonus to the house. The kitchen is also nicely furnished, although the stove and oven no longer work so well. The location is perfect, the neighborhood is quiet with the village and all the shops only a few minutes drive away. On our arrival, the reception was friendly and welcoming, but I have to say, on our last day, the maid was already in the house before we got up. We of course appreciate her service, it just felt a bit like we were being rushed (obviously it was just after 8 and check-out time is 10 o'clock). I say it felt that way, because we felt a bit in her way as we quickly wanted to have our last breakfast and because she started cleaning all the rooms even before our bags were out. But she was terribly kind and lovely, and really just someone who wants to do her job well. All and all it was a lovely place to stay, a home away from home for sure!

Delicious and yet shocking.
It's a really beautiful place, the bathroom of the cottage was just a bit cramped and can't fit more than one person in it. The only complaints I have are the following: 1. The Weber is broken and not convenient to grill with; 2. The owners' dogs are somewhat of a problem especially when they are not at home (incessant barking) and then this is also repeated as soon as the owners are home. People need to realize that not all people love dogs, and may find it distracting especially if you want to break away to rest.

Affordable overnight stay.
We stayed in the cottage which was adequate for the night's sleep. Everything was beautifully clean and met our basic needs. If I can criticise, I can say that the owner didn't expect us and didn't fix it. In the bathroom the shower did not have a shower head, which caused a lot of waste. Space in the room is also very limited. The location is in the residential area which is quite far from any shops or restaurants. Despite the points, we had a great night's sleep.

Due to the weather conditions, we could not make full use of the house. Would have liked to have a barbecue outside and swim in the beautiful blue pool, but unfortunately it rained too much and was very cold. We stayed at Giraffe because we were attending a wedding in Paris. We also had problems with our vehicle and Simon allowed us to stay after 10 hours which we really appreciated. I would only suggest that there would be fans in all the rooms, as well as that there would be lights outside by the pool area for the evenings. Thank you very much.

Good for overnight stay.
Neat and clean. An air conditioner/air-con would be an asset to the Garden Cottage. Shower head needs to be replaced as it falls on a person every time you shower. Since the water is heated by a gas geyser, it is quite a struggle to get the water to the right temperature. It would also be a good idea to place a small container of fresh milk in the fridge. Furthermore, it is a beautiful place and the outdoor kitchen is very cute and well equipped.

We had a wonderful time in front of the fireplace and the kitchen was well equipped. However, the stove was very dirty. Furthermore, there was no bathroom mat for the middle bathroom, which was quite necessary due to the old wet weather. There were also people who walked around outside the house and talked loudly until 2 o'clock Sunday morning. (Assume that is the caretaker's place of residence.)

When the client arrived, I said, as I do with every guest, please let me know if you need anything at all. The guest called me at around 20:00 in the evening after having arrived, to say the gas was up of the stove. I replaced the gas within 5 minutes, she also mentioned the water was not hot enough. We do turn the temperature down in summer as it can be too hot so it then needs readjusted come winter. Again, this is something that can be done when the guest let us know, and I did readjust and checked it myself. My point here is that the guest was not without a stove or hot water for long as it suggests in her review.

Hi,
I would just like to address your issues. The confirmation email that you received when booking states that you must call me on arrival to be checked in, as far as I'm aware that is what you did and you were met right away thereafter so you certainly did receive service. You did call me twice but that is because you got lost! The next day I sent you an SMS at 8am advising you what to do with the key, if you say you were already in Vanderbijlpark by then, you must have left around 7.30, in these cases you should advise that you are leaving very early so we can make arrangements. This is after all, a self catering unit not a hotel or BnB and there is not someone on site 24 hours a day.
Thank you for your comments regarding the soap, this has now been rectified.
Kind regards,
Simon.

The TV channels are also definitely not watchable for any Afrikaans-speaking person! Put an old radio there instead. The reception is not too bad. Sorry, but it was just a disappointment. The "butler" or supervisor was also only there when we arrived, and was never seen again.

Thank you for your review.
The Garden Room is currently being renovated so all these issues are now being resolved. The electricity is safe as the room has its own breaker box but I understand it seems there was an issue with the heater tripping the power.
The TV channels were listed on a sheet in the room and actually none that were listed are Afrikaans. The room does not have full DStv though.
Regards,
The White Giraffe

Disappointing.
I was under the impression it was a self-catering unit, the manager did not inform us that we could use the kitchen. The power plug was overloaded and didn't work properly, you had to turn off some of the devices or the power would cut out. The shower is impractical, when you shower the whole place is full of water, if the door is closed you cannot use the sink properly.

Please note this review was for the Garden Room. The Garden Room is listed as a stand alone room only accommodation, this is also made very clear in the quote that I send, at no time was "self catering" mentioned and there was no kitchen facility for this room so I'm not sure what kitchen this guest is referring to.
Further, this room has now actually been renovated (pictures coming soon). The outside space is now much bigger and incorporates a kitchenette with gas stove, in effect now making this a self catering unit for 2.
I would also urge anyone looking at our reviews and reading this to please take into account the rest of the reviews which were good and in fact excellent feed back. You can't please everyone all of the time!
Thank you,
The White Giraffe.

Of top quality.
This was truly an experience. Patsy was incredibly friendly and told us a little about the town because we had never been to Paris, she also directed us to the best places to eat and enjoy in the town. The place is very cute and very nicely laid out. The room was incredibly clean and of the highest quality. Would only recommend that they add a bar of soap or small shampoo for when you want to shower. The shower's hot/cold regulator was a bit of a struggle, but not a big problem. My honest opinion, if we visit Paris again we will definitely stay here again. The Photos of the White Giraffe to how amazing it is in reality do not match each other at all. I suggest updating the photos, then many more people will use this place. It was really an experience. Thank you very much, Patsy and thank you very much, LekkeSlaap.

Great weekend.
It was an incredibly nice weekend. The stay was so nice. All problem was the one room which is close to the pump which goes on as soon as water is used. Dot makes quite a noise and some of the children had trouble sleeping. If only they could do something there. Other than that, it was very nice! Lovely weekend the accommodation is excellent it is quiet and close enough to all the attractions in Paris. Would recommend The White Giraffe to anyone. Thanks Simon!

Dankie aan die White Girraffe vir hulle gasvryheid en hulp. Die area was ook baie stil en die wandelings langs die revier sal altyd by ons bly

Thanks to the White Girraffe for their hospitality and help. The area was also very quiet and the walks along the river will always stay with us
Had a great stay and will use you and White Giraffe again. We were kept informed of the problem with the water heater in the room allocated to us. When this was not rectified in time, we were moved to the house in Fick Street number 1 at no additional cost.

Comfortable!
We slept in the smaller room for 2. There is a larger family option at the pool. It is a bit cozy with little space for your bags, but therefore really nicely done and there is also a cute garden area especially for the 2 of you. It is a good option on a "road trip" but not necessarily for a longer stay. .

Comfortable summer accommodation for the whole family near the Afri-dome in Parys.
Simon was very friendly and considerate. The White Giraffe is close to the Afri-dome which is ideal for us. It would be the ideal place to call home in the summer with the outside braai and pool area, but with the many tiles it is unfortunately freezing cold in the winter. Everything is very clean.

Had a great time, but didn't sleep much. Young people next door played loud music all night (probably acceptable, after all it was New Year's Eve).
It is a lovely spacious house where a group can enjoy a wonderful time together. Kitchen and needs more bowls and basic things like tin opener, peeler and bread knife. The house needs some attention. But we had a great time!

Convenient and close to our destination, but needs some attention.
The room was clean and tidy but I think they forgot to sweep the floor. The faucet in the sink was spraying water in different directions - up the wall to the toilet etc. I stuck a band-aid around the leak so I could safely brush my teeth. The hot/cold water in the shower was a challenge, then you burn, then you freeze - no comfortable constant temperature.
