Very nice stay at Thorny. Received kindly and was even willing to fetch wood for us (we with motorbikes there). His chat about the history of the area was nice and we went to visit the 'old bridge'. What an experience.

Very well priced for what you get. Thank you Thorn Ikhaya Guest House.
We had a great stay and had a nice chat with the owner. As fellow guest house owners we understand the industry and it would have been nice if the single beds worked as a double bed too. Just a suggestion. It's not the fault, but the access to the guest house is difficult with a low vehicle. Shame what the town's roads look like.

We received a friendly, hospitable welcome.
The room and bathroom were in a neat condition. The owners can be more involved and make sure everything is in order. There was no dish soap and no dish towel. Only 2 pieces of rusk in the container. We would also prefer that there are flat sheets over the beds. It was too hot for a duvet. But despite these complaints we will use it again if necessary and I would recommend the accommodation to other people.

The guest house is located in a quiet neighborhood. I don't think the directions to Thorn Ikhaya are all easy and clear! Fortunately, by asking we easily reached our destination! Street names are not always clearly indicated! The stay was pleasant. The host may provide more hanging and placing space in the bathroom.

Disappointing.
We chose Thorn Ikhaya based on its good reviews on the website, but our experience was disappointing. Although both beds had electric blankets, there were no top sheets, which meant we had to sleep directly under the quilt/duvet. Old correspondence from previous guests was found in the bedside table, as well as in one of the kitchen cupboards. There were no forks or spoons in the room in this self-catering unit, and we had to request them. According to the owner, some of the previous guests must have carried it away. She also admitted that she didn't check the unit before we were put in it. So it makes one wonder if the quilt was ever washed after previous guests slept under it! Apart from two barstools at the built-in table, there were no other chairs in the room or a stand on which to place suitcases. There is no hanging space in the bathroom for clothes, nor a bathroom cabinet or something to place toiletries while using the facility. We just used some of the bar stools for the purpose. The "braai facilities" consist of a loin, a portable grill. Unfortunately, the untidy backyard of the house cannot be missed when entering or exiting the unit. There is also just a plain door between the unit and the adjoining unit, and the wardrobe has been moved in front of it. Fortunately, there were no guests in the latter, because it must have an impact on guests' privacy. An electric two-plate stove in the kitchen cupboard is very old and dirty.

Thorn Ikhaya Guest House 's response
Geagte gas
Dankie vir die resensie. Dit word waardeer! Ek is egter baie jammer dat u 'n slegte ervaring gehad het met u oornag. Ons het egter in elke kamer 'n geel gelamineerde blad wat u uitnooi indien daar enige iets kort of fout is om ons te mag vra. Wat die bolakens betref kon u met graagte gevra het vir twee, 99 % van al my gaste is tevrede met die beddegoed soos dit tans is en ons streef daarna om vir die gaste te bied wat die meeste aangevra word! Ek kan u verseker dat die beddegoed wel gewas word. Enige mens ruik die seep in klere of beddegoed wat gewas is. U sou dadelik agter gekom het as dit nie gewas is nie. Die lepels ens. wat nie daar was nie is reggestel die oomblik toe u dit vra. Ons het egter nuwes gaan koop en in die laai kassie by kombuis gesit. Die kroeg stoele is 2 omdat 2 mense kan oorslaap met 'n eet tafel daarby ongeveer 1 meter x 1 meter. Fotos op die internet wat u kon besigtig wys min of meer hoe die kamers binne lyk. Ek is jammer as daar enige onduidelike fotos was van die kamer. Ek plaas sommer altyd my tas op die bed en pak my klere in die klere kas as ek oorbly by 'n gastehuis. Dit werk gewoonlik 100%. Daar is hangplek vir klere in die klere kas en 'n hang reling in die badkamer waaroor die handdoeke hang wat dalk kon gebruik word. Die wasbak se rand en vensterbank glo ek kan genoeg plek bied vir dit wat 'n mens dalk in die badkamer wil gebruik, maar ek sal 'n kassie of rak aanbring indien iemand dit sal wil gebruik in die toekoms. Gelukkig was die kroeg stoelle daar. Wat die braaier betref is dit groot genoeg vir so 4 persone. Van my vorige gaste wat al vir 2 of meer dae gebly het, het die braaier geniet en elke aand gebraai en hulle kon geen fout vind met hom nie. Dis nou nie 'n stainless steel braaier nie, maar ek kan dit oorweeg om 1 te laat bou wat dalk meer op u standaard kan wees. Ek is baie jammer vir my agterplaas wat on-ooglik was volgens u ,maar dis nou amper lente en ons saag bome af, gras sal nou nog dood wees en die tyd van die jaar is daar nie juis blomme nie ek sal tog vir u n fotos stuur as dit somer is en al die rose blom in die tuin en die gras groen is. Glo my dis 'n heel ander prentjie. Die deur wat daar is in die kamer is agter die klerekas, soos u weet, en word egter nie meer gebruik nie. Ek het hom laat insit met die aanbou van die 2 de kamer sodat 'n huisgesin van 4 of 5 lekker kon kuier en deur beweeg. Daar is egter 'n ingeboude kas in kamer 2 waar die kas voor die deur ingebou is vanaf die vloer to bo teen die plafon. So u hoef nie bekommerd te wees oor enige probleme met privaatheid nie. Wat die 2 plaat stofie betref is dit 1 wat onder in die kas gebêre was en nooit gebruik word nie. As u egter bo op die kas gekyk het in die kombuis area langs die mikrogolf oond sou u 'n nuwe klein oond met 2 plaat stofie kombinasie wat skoon is gesien het. Dit is die 1 wat die meeste gaste soek en gebruik.
Ek wil egter nogmaals jammer sê vir die slegte ervaring by my gastehuis.
Mag ons hemelse vader u seën dat u nooit weer so 'n slegte ervaring beleef nie.
Mag u lewens reis net vol voorspoed en seën wees.
Groete
Thornie
