Great.
The Yard 's response
Ons het verlede jaar die laaste eenheid omkamp sodat elke eenheid nou diere-vriendelik is. Dit is wel belangrik dat ons gaste verstaan dat ons net klein tot medium honde kan huisves, aangesien die heinings net 1 meter hoog is.

The Yard 's response
Hi Yolande
'The Yard' word geadverteer as 'Urban Farmstyle Accommodation'.
Ons passie is om oudhede te vernuwe en (kreatief te verander) om dit bruikbaar te maak. Meeste van ons gaste verkyk hulle aan die dinge wat ons hier her-gebruik en geniet die feit dat alles nie klinies is nie, maar eerder oorspronklik en uniek.
Elke mens se smaak verskil en ons respekteer dit.

The Yard 's response
Hi Geoffery
Sjoe, jy het my nou amper laat skrik. Ek dog die messeware en borde is gesteel.
Maar gelukkig, toe ek die kas oopmaak, is alles nog veilig binne-in. Ons het gedink dit is netjieser om die breekware in die kas te pak.
Wat die mure aanbetref, ons het 'n "rustic" voorkoms en daarom het ons die mure "gebag". Ek verstaan dat dit nie almal se smaak is nie.
Wat die stortwater aanbetref - dankie dat jy ons in kennis gestel het - ons sal hieraan aandag gee.

We were so surprised with The Yard! What an exceptional place to stay, delightfully central in Gordons Bay. The detail in this accommodation is outstanding: Every little thing works perfectly and is in its place. It was especially nice for us traveling with our dog, because our room had a private little garden. Great, we will definitely be back.

Central, affordable, basic clean facilities, secure parking, very friendly service.
Everything was exactly as we expected. Marinda is a lovely hostess and received and welcomed us personally. A lot of attention has been paid to detail and recycled materials have been used to give it a lovely farm feel, without anything feeling cheap or out of place. The accommodation is a 5 minute walk from supermarkets, a liquor store, a laundromat, takeaways, a biltong shop and a 10 minute walk from the main beach, with places to eat, drink and shop on the edge of the loveliest bay in the country . The only light, negative comment is that there is a lot of noise around the house from early on, which didn't really make sleeping in late possible. We will definitely stay here again.

It was the most beautiful place I have ever stayed.
It was our honeymoon and we were surprised by Marinda to upgrade us to the Cottage with the foot bath as a gift. The place was so nice clean and vintage with a bit of Southwest to it. Marinda went out of her way to make us feel so welcome and everything she did extra to make everything so nice and special, the rusks, the chocolate, oh yes, and the Guvas in the fridge with cream. Will definitely visit The Yard again.

Baie dankie vir jou voorstelle Wilma, ons werk hieraan.
Naamborde is al lankal op ons lys, maar omdat ons dit uniek wil hou aan die omgewing, kon ons nog nie finaal besluit wat om te gebruik nie, maar dit is prioriteit vir 2020.
Met die TV het ons 'n beginsel besluit geneem dat ons geen TV's op The Yard gaan inbring nie.
Ons leef al vir 16 jaar sonder dit en wil graag hê ons gaste moet die rustigheid, en die lieflike natuurskoon in ons omgewing beleef. Die stilte help ook vir beter kommunikasie en kwaliteit kuiers, waarvoor ons so min deesdae kans kry.

The accommodation is good for one night.
The outside of the house is well planned, but the ceiling height of 2.3 m causes the living room and kitchen area to become unbearably hot. The bedroom, kitchen, living room, shower, bath (which may not be used) and toilet are separated with curtains. If you use the toilet, you have to chase the people visiting out of the house. Because of the weather, two of the three nights it was not pleasant to use the outdoor barbecue. The braai inside the house intended for inclement weather was closed for use. Because of the scrap iron and construction debris on the site, parking was also very difficult. There was air conditioning in the bedroom. The hot water system had to be turned off every day. I don't know why because there is no saving about it. No TV was available.
