Nice and tidy, friendly service, value for money!
We had a great stay! Cute rooms that have been painstakingly made beautiful and comfortable. The hostess and her assistants received us very kindly and were accommodating about one or two changes at short notice. Only point to consider is that the loft rooms have a staircase - we were able to use it well, but if it's older people or maybe someone with a disability, they might struggle. Otherwise, I highly recommend the stay.

The service was great, Salome gave us a warm welcome, we found the guest house easily and as already mentioned the tree-rich surroundings were the best for our getaway. Regarding the accommodation, the owner could do a bit more with the bedding, it was not of the best quality and I had to request a firmer pillow as all the pillows were flat.

Three Willows is one of the best vacation spots I've ever visited.
The place is so beautiful, peaceful and just the best if you want to escape from the hustle and bustle of the Cape. The people are also very friendly and make you feel at home in their town. The owner often found out how we were doing and made sure we were comfortable and safe. Greyton is indeed a beautiful place and very tidy, you don't see a paper around the town. I would advise anyone to explore the town. Definitely value for money - great places to eat and walk.

We were warmly welcomed by Salome at Three Willows. Our room was very neat with a small bar fridge, kettle, soap, etc. Melody was very helpful and friendly on the phone. I would definitely recommend Three Willows. The view from the balcony is breathtaking. You should definitely enjoy a sundowner outside on the porch. I just want to mention, the stairs to the log cabin are very steep. It may be difficult for older persons or someone who may have difficulty climbing stairs. Furthermore, everything is perfect.

Hi Derek,
Thank you for your review and sorry that you were disappointed.
If I put my prices up to what most of Greyton charges, then I could perhaps afford more modern furniture and appliances. However, we like to keep it to affordable and comfortable, for which we are well-known.
I hope that you find what you want next time you feel the need to stay in Greyton.

Greyton is the ideal place to completely forget about everything and 'recharge your batteries'.
We were very warmly received and soon felt at home. However, it is a very steep staircase to get to the top and would not be suitable for older persons. Furthermore, there were no braai facilities, the dishwasher's plug let all the water run out again. Bedside lamp also needed a light bulb. Despite everything, we had a nice stay and would love to visit Greyton again. DStv for the children would also have been welcome.

Hi Marietjie,
Thanks so much for your review. We remember you well. Salomé thought you guys were great. :)
I'm really sorry that you were under the impression that there were no braai facilities. There's a built-in braai at the swimming pool, as well as a portable braai that guests use to braai in the garden. As far as I know, they are mentioned on TravelGround and Lekkeslaap, but I will ensure that they are clearly enough stated. Normally the guests ask if it's okay to braai and Salomé shows them where the braais are and ensures they have everything they need to have a lovely braai.
So sorry to hear about the plug. Thanks for bringing that to our attention. If we'd known at the time we would have immediately done something about it. We will investigate thoroughly.
Once more, our apologies and we do hope to see you again.
Kindest regards,
Melody

Neat and clean, but unfortunately the general impression wasn't all that great.
The property itself isn't so neat and the room smelled of cigarette smoke the entire weekend. The so-called crystal clear swimming pool was full of leaves and had a towel in it. The room didn't offer much in the way of privacy since we could hear every word of what was spoken next door. The furniture, bedding etc. was old and you get the idea that it was second hand, but at least everything was clean and neat inside the house. The self-catering unit didn't have pots and pans or salt and the coffee, tea, and sugar was simply placed in plastic containers. There is not proper fence around the house, just normal wire-fencing. The parking was also problematic in the sense that there is only parking for 2, though there are 3 guest rooms.

Three Willows 's response
Thank you very much for your review; however, I am so pleased that TravelGround/Lekkeslaap gives one an opportunity to reply. I was most disappointed when I read this. I will put in point form below my answers to your concerns.
1. Firstly, let me say that I am sorry about the cigarette smoke. We only realised after the weekend that the guest next door had been smoking in his unit, which was right next door to yours. We will watch out for this in future. So thanks for that.
2. You happened to arrive on a day when we had had an abundance of rain, which had swept many leaves off the trees onto the property and into the pool. One has to remember that we are undergoing a drought and therefore the trees shed their leaves for survival.. Even the roads in Greyton looked absolutely awful with leaves and dislodged stones and soil all over the place. There was nothing that I could do about this.
3. Sorry about the swimming pool, but again, we were fighting a losing battle. I pay people to come in every day to work on the property and the pool to ensure that it is pretty and pleasant to swim in, but it was very difficult to keep it that way over that particular weekend. It would have been nice if someone had informed us about the towel in the pool or had even lifted it out with the net. Our pool/groundsman only discovered it once it was trapped in the weir by the time that he arrived.
4. I apologise for the fact that you could hear the chap next door on the odd occasion that he had a chat. He has a very loud voice and needed to also talk on the phone for work. We do have soundproofing up, but it's obviously not enough. The two units are alongside each other so there will be some noise carry over.
5. Yes, the furniture is old, but not second-hand. The beds are excellent, which we have made sure of and over-and-over we are told that the guests slept like babies. My housekeeper approached you about bringing the frying pan and pots up, because they had been in the house being specially washed and shined up and had accidentally not been returned by the staff on duty that day. You told her it was fine and that you guys would be going out. Sorry about the salt. If you had asked for it, you would have got it. Again, it was left out by accident.
6. We will continue to put the coffee, tea, rooibos tea, coffee creamer and sugar in those containers. They are costly items, so we won't be buying any expensive containers to put them in. The containers are clean and that's the main thing.
7. The fence and gates around the pool are the correct height for safety. We decided on that fence because we liked the log effect and eventually the whole fence will have roses, jasmine and other creepers growing over it.
8. There is place for two large cars and one small car, which allows everyone to get out of their parking bays. The upstairs units are mostly used by large groups of people and families and when they come in two cars, they park behind one another and then there is space for another car, plus one alongside the tree if necessary. It's very seldom that we don't have enough parking. The couple that needed to park next to the tree, I had specially allowed to use a private unit downstairs at a very special price and they were lucky to get inside parking as it was. You had one of the prime parking spots.
I would just like to draw to your attention that I gave you an extra night at an incredibly low price and your stay turned out to cost you R250 pp per night. As much as I would like to have plush new couches and furniture and everything looking as if it has come off the pages of House & Home Magazine, I would then have to charge each person about R200 pp per night more than I do, which I don't want to do. Not everyone has that type of money. If you compare our accommodation prices to the prices of other accommodation establishments in Greyton, you will see that we favour very much money-wise. In fact we have just won an award from one of the websites we are on for best value for money.
All-in-all this feedback left me most disheartened but I am encouraged by the people who love Three Willows and return again and again. Thank you for mentioning our cleanliness and tidiness; our staff have pride in what they do and it is of great importance to them that all is clean, hygienic and tidy.

Dear Patrick,
Thank you very much for your feedback. I am sorry to see that your stay was unhappy and uncomfortable. I will look into all these matters and see where we can improve the Three Willows experience for our guests.
Due to the poor signal in Greyton at times, I have already removed reference to the Wi-Fi from the listing, however, it is still available to those who want to use it.
Regarding your struggle with the railings, I'm sorry about that. I will check the railings, although I believe the rain played a big part in it.
All the best for your future stays in Greyton.
