Goeie oornag slaap, met al die geriewe wat nodig is. Spur en eetplekke naby.

Net oornag geslaap die 21 Sept en 24 Sept 2024. Vriendelike ontvangs deur Keith. Netjiese kamer, met twee enkelbedden, koffie/tee met suiker en poeiermelk. Dit was baie aangenaam. Warm en snoesig geslaap met die ekstra komberse, na 'n warm stort.

Good overnight sleep, with all the amenities needed. Spur and places to eat nearby.

Just slept overnight the 21st Sept and 24th Sept 2024. Friendly reception by Keith. Neat room, with two single beds, coffee/tea with sugar and powdered milk. It was very pleasant. Slept warm and cuddly with the extra blankets, after a hot shower.

Rustig, gasvry en goed vir die siel.

Ons was buite ingewag deur die gasheer, Keith, wat 'n gawe verrassing. Hy het ook vooraf seker gemaak ons is op pad en dat ons weet hoe om by die bestemming uit te kom. Keith is vriendelik en sorgsaam. Die gastehuis is 'n besonderse ou huis met pragtige plankvloere, deurkosyne en deure en die mooiste opskuif houtvensters. En om op die wye stoep met sy rooi gepolitoerde vloer te sit en kuier, is 'n aangename ervaring wat jou terugneem na vervloë dae. Die tuin is 'n lushof wat met sorg deur droë tye gelawe word. Sy personeel is gaaf en my troeteldiere is met groot liefde en begrip ontvang. Dankie Keith.

Peaceful, hospitable and good for the soul.

We were met outside by the host, Keith, what a nice surprise. He also made sure in advance that we were on our way and that we knew how to get to the destination. Keith is friendly and caring. The guest house is an exceptional old house with beautiful plank floors, door frames and doors and the most beautiful sliding wooden windows. And sitting and visiting on the wide porch with its red polished floor is a pleasant experience that takes you back to days gone by. The garden is a loop court that is maintained with care through dry periods. His staff is nice and my pets were received with great love and understanding. Thanks Keith.

Everything is extremely dated. Had constant issues with hot water. No lights in bathroom and kitchen during loadshedding.

Although the host was extremely helpful and friendly, living in 2023, you have to have modern furniture and appliances. DSTV package was rubbish and not enough done to have a pleasant stay during loadshedding.

In general the rating on your website is unacceptable at 5. The house is old and dilapidated. The house is next to the truck over-night stop and trucks are idling the whole night.

Glad nie tevrede.

Alhoewel die kostes aan die akkommodasie goedkoop was, sal ons glad nie die gastehuis aanbeveel nie. Dit is oud, die houtvloere val in, my kinders is met splinters huis toe. Die ligging is sleg - dis oorkant 'n groot swaarvoertuie oornagplek - dit het vir ons as gesin met twee kinders uiters onveilig gevoel.

Not satisfied at all.

Although the costs of the accommodation were cheap, we would not recommend the guest house at all. It is old, the wooden floors are falling in, my children went home with splinters. The location is bad - it's opposite a large heavy vehicles overnight stop - it felt extremely unsafe for us as a family with two children.

Third Rock Guest House 's response

Hi Carina,

Ons akkommodasie is ideaal vir gaste wat oornag en die gerief waar ons in die dorp geleë is.

Jy het eers jou balans betaal 3 weke later, na ons jou aanhoudend probeer kontak het in verband met die uitstaande gelde, mag dit moontlik die rede wees vir jou resensie.

Jy is reg dit is 'n ou huis en dit is presies wat op ons webblad staan. Dit is 'n huis wat dateer tot nog voor die Anglo-Boere oorlog waarop ek baie trots is en word daagliks skoon en instand gehou.

Ek, die eienaar, het persoonlik daardie nag tot 02h00, dit is hoelaat julle gesê het julle gaan vertrek, oor julle wag gehou soos wat ek julle vroeër die middag meegedeel het.

Very nice stay in a clean house with a friendly host

Unfortunately, the location was not the best, but knowing that there is a neighborhood watch, we were more reassured. The house can be provided with a 'caserole' for people who want to barbecue. Furthermore, a lot of attention was given to the beautiful garden.

Good value for money.

Third Rock is a lovely old house with a pretty garden, including an interesting labyrinth. The owners are helpful and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. It is not luxurious, but it is clean, the bed is comfortable and has nice linen. As I had an hour or two to spare the owners showed me around Ventersburg which doesn't at first sight look like much, but is actually an interesting place. Only drawback is that there are no good restaurants in town, but that is not the fault of the owners. Otherwise, a good place to stop.

Interessante ervaring en 'n stukkie nostalgie.

Ventersburg was vir ons 'n bittersoet ervaring: Die pragtige ou plaashuis met ouma se stoep, gekombineer met 'n byderwetse labyribth om te stap, die pragtige 100 jaar oue NG Kerk, goed onderhou, maar met min mense en min geld wat oorbly op die dorp vandat die N1 verlê is. Ons het heerlik gebly in die goed toegeruste plaashuis met groot kamers en muskietnette oor elke bed. Indien jy sekuriteitsbewus is sal hierdie plek dalk nie vir jou werk nie, maar vir 'n unieke ervaring van "plattelandse Suid-Afrika" word hulle hoog aanbeveel.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Interesting experience and a bit of nostalgia.

Ventersburg was a bittersweet experience for us: The beautiful old farmhouse with grandma's porch, combined with a trendy labyrinth for walking, the beautiful 100-year-old NG Church, well maintained, but with few people and little money left on the town since the N1 was laid. We had a wonderful stay in the well-equipped farmhouse with large rooms and mosquito nets over each bed. If you are security conscious this place may not work for you, but for a unique experience of "rural South Africa" they are highly recommended.

Teleurgesteld.

Ek het 'n bespreking gemaak vir die "Guest Room" soos na verwys op Third Rock se bladsy. Die foto's dui aan dat dit 'n kamer in die hoof huis is met 'n en-suite netjiese badkamer. Op ons aankoms by Third Rock was dit nie die geval nie, en ons is begelei na ons kamer wat 'n buitekamer op die perseel is. Die kamer self is semi-aanvaarbaar met netjiese beddegoed, alhoewel dit nie op die standaard van die hoofhuis se kamer is nie. Maar die badkamer laat weel te wense, aangesien die wasbak en stort (met vuil stort gordyn) van so aard is dat ons dit nie gebruik het nie en nie kon stort nadat ons die vorige aand by 'n troue was nie, en verder het die handdoeke hare op gehad. Uiters teleurgesteld in die standaard van Third Rock, en die misleidende foto's.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Disappointed.

I made a reservation for the "Guest Room" as referenced on Third Rock's page. The photos indicate that this is a room in the main house with an en-suite tidy bathroom. On our arrival at Third Rock this was not the case and we were escorted to our room which is an off-site room. The room itself is semi-acceptable with neat bedding, although not up to the standard of the main house room. But the bathroom leaves a lot to be desired, as the sink and shower (with dirty shower curtain) are such that we didn't use them and couldn't shower after attending a wedding the night before, and furthermore the had towels on her hair. Extremely disappointed in the standard of Third Rock, and the misleading photos.

The client service was exceptional, because the owners met us when we arrived and later also checked in on us, although we were only staying for one day. My whole family (6 of us) loved the house, the braai area, the stoep and the surrounds. Very tranquil. I will definitely return here.

Baie aangenaam.

Ek het net die aand oorgeslaap op pad na Secunda. Keith en sy vrou was baie behulpsaam en Keith het my gehelp om my remligte reg te maak wat foutief was en dit in die donker en reën, want ek het later ingeboek as wat ek beplan het. Ek sal beslis weer daar oorslaap as die geleentheid hom voordoen. Fasiliteite is baie skoon en ek het rustig geslaap.

Glad nie wat ek verwag het n.a.v. foto's nie.

Ek het 'n selfsorgkamer met alle bykomstighede bespreek. By aankoms is ek na 'n ander erf toe geneem waar ek 'n kamer sonder yskas of lugversorging gegee is. Ek moes op die vloer rondkruip om by elektriese proppe uit te kom. TV het nie gewerk nie. Ketel moes op vloer staan. Plastiese vloermatte dien as tafelbedekking. Kraan by wasbak in badkamer is heeltemal los. Koffie ens is in oop bordjie op tafel. Koffiesakkie baie oud. Om te slaap, moes ek in die middel van die bed lê om te verhoed dat ek afval. Daar was heelnag 'n geluid soos iemand wat teen iets kap. Geen inligting m.b.t. eetplekke ens is gegee nie.

Not at all what I expected based on the pictures.

I booked a fully equipped self-catering room. Upon arrival I was shown to another property and given a room without fridge or aircon. I had to crawl around on the floor to find electric sockets. The TV didn't work. The kettle had to sit on the floor. The table was covered with plastic floor mats. The sink tap in the bathroom was completely loose. The coffee etc. was on an open plate on the table. The coffee bags were very old. When sleeping I had to lie in the centre of the bed to avoid falling off. All day long there was a noise that sounded like someone is banging against something. No information re places to eat was provided.

Third Rock Guest House 's response

Hi Serena,
Ek is baie jammer oor die ongerief wat jy ervaar het. Omdat ons vol was het ek besluit om jou by n ander gastehuis te plaas.
Dit was 'n fout waarvoor ek bitter jammer is.
Ek sal jou geld terug betaal. Stuur jou asb besonderhede.
Ek is opreg jammer.
Groete,
Keith

Heerlik rustige rusplek.

Ons is baie vriendelik verwelkom na 'n lang reis en opgegradeer na die huis. Dit was welkom aangesien ons kleuter saam gery het. Alles was netjies en goed ingerig. Sal dit definitief aanbeveel.

Lovely peaceful resting place.

We were very kindly welcomed after a long journey and upgraded to the house. This was welcome as our toddler was riding along. Everything was neat and well furnished. Would definitely recommend it.

Interessant.

Third Rock is definitief 'n unieke gastehuis! En baie goed geleë reg langs die N1 vir mense wat net wil oorslaap, maar ook ideaal as jy wil kuier.

Interesting.

Third Rock is definitely a unique guesthouse! And very well located right next to the N1 for people who are just looking for a place to overnight, but it's also ideal if you want to socialise.

Vriendelike, opregte gasvryheid wat net 'n platteland dorpie kan bied.

Die eienaar neem self deel aan die diens wat gegee word en hou opreg sy hand op alle aspekte insluitende die reël van besienswaardighede in die omgewing.

Friendly, genuine hospitality that only a country town can offer.

The owner himself participates in the service that is given and sincerely keeps his hand on all aspects including the arrangement of attractions in the area.

'n Heerlike rusplekkie langs die pad!

Die gasheer Keith is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die verblyf is gerieflik ingerig, skoon en netjies. Alles volledig toegerus. Mens sou verwag om veel meer te betaal! Kan die plekkie regtig aanbeveel.

A lovely place to rest along the way!

The host, Keith, was very friendly and helpful. The accommodation was conveniently appointed, clean and neat. Everything fully equipped. You would expect to have to pay much more! Can really recommend this place.

Dit was baie lekker - work in progress - eienaar het nog baie idees met die plekkie.

Die plekkie is netjies en 'n goeie oornagplekkie. Die eienaar is baie huislik en hy het 'n passie vir sy omgewing. Hy het nog werk wat hy doen aan die plekkie maar dit steur nie. Sal vir seker weer daar gaan oorslaap.

It was very nice - work in progress - owner still has many ideas with the place.

The place is neat and a good place to stay the night. The owner is very homely and he has a passion for his environment. He still has work to do on the place but it doesn't bother him. Will definitely stay there again.

Goeie waarde vir geld.

Baie vriendelik en hartlik ontvang. Netjiese ruim huis. Heerlik warm geslaap terwyl ons veilig gevoel het met 'n wag buite om ons motor op te pas. Baie dankie!
