Kamer was vuil op plekke.

Translate to English.
Room was dirty in places.
The wooden beams were full of dust on top. White linen had stains on it. There are no power plugs to e.g. plugging in the boiler. When you walk up the stairs you bump your head against the thatched roof - I'm not a tall person at all.

Very peaceful environment had a nice rest
It was wonderful to just walk into a quiet environment, kick off your shoes on the stoep and relax. Away from the everyday activities, no busy streets and honking horns as we are almost used to.

Not what we expected.
The room we booked is not the room we got. Reception was also unaware of our booking and the fact that we had already paid and had to call around quite a bit to confirm this. However, the room we did get worked. The room is self-catering but does not have enough cutlery for the number of people in the room and we had to ask for extras. The room was also very superficially cleaned which was unpleasant. The room also does not have enough power points for the accessories and one has to be pulled out to plug in another, for example. I recommend a multiplug. The wooden floors above us caused the guests above us to be terribly disturbed. Price-wise, with all that considered, we've stayed in a lot of places that were a lot cheaper and better. On a positive note, the staff are friendly and the breakfast delicious. Unfortunately we will not be coming back.

Good day
All bookings are done online and we cant change rooms without the system notified.
The room that was booked is our budget room and the cheapest room.
Some people confuse our luxury with budget accommodation.

Thank you for the feedback.
1. Guest booked online and did not book room with air-con.
2. The nice lady, Pumzie, did phone me and I did talk to the guest and explain to him that he did not book rooms with air-con’s but did try to see if the rooms with air-cons was available but wasn’t. I would have taken air-coolers from our other guesthouse down to Tidewaters for them.
3. Pumzie phoned me from the Guesthouse phone and I did have a conversation with the guests.
4. Pumzie phoned me back and told he they left and that he told her that he’s going to put a bad review on the site.
5. The guests had contact with me on the Guesthouse phone.
