Die sneeu het gehelp om Tom's Place se sprokie af te rond.

Uitsonderlike waarde vir geld en maak die pad tussen Pretoria en Suidkus soveel makliker.

The snow helped complete Tom's Place's fairy tale.

Exceptional value for money and makes the journey between Pretoria and South Coast so much easier.

Lekker geslaap, lekker gestort, sal weer oorslaap.

Ons was halfway stop gewees oppad Suidkus toe. Ons is vriendelik ontvang, as jy wil bespreek en verkies eerder 'n moderne plekkie, maak seker jy kies 'n plekkie in die (binnehof). Ons het nie geweet dat die plekkies (aan die voorkant) verouderd is nie; die binnehof plekkies op die perseel is nuwer geboude plekkies. Die eienaar was so gaaf om ons te akkommodeer na die opgradeerde plekkies toe, het net die verskil inbetaal. Ons was 'n groot groepie en het dus 3 eenhede bespreek. Plekkies het so baie potensiaal, maar ai, 1 van die eenhede se teëls in die badkamer is losgetrek en hang. Hulle werk ook met solar panele vir krag, ens. en die volgende oggend kon hulle ons nie bedien met ontbyt nie, want daar was nie krag nie. Die ander probleem is, ons kon ook nie aandete bestel nie, en niemand kon aflewer nie. Het darem 2 minute noedels gehad vir die kleintjies, maar daar was glad nie microwave bakke of enige ander bakkies om die noedels in gaar te maak nie. Daar was wel potte, maar tussen die 3 eenhede wat ons gehuur het, het nie een van die stowe gewerk nie. Gelukkig het ons graanpap ook vir die kids gehad en kon hulle darem pap eet vir aandete. Die plekkies was skoon, maar die gesins eenheid (4 slaap) se kombuiskas was vol miere. Die kant gordyne was stukkend in die slaapkamer. Die beddens het heerlik geslaap. Ons wou ook graag groet, maar niemand was in sig toe ons vertrek nie, moes maar die sleutel in die posbus gooi. As ons weer daar verbygaan, sal ons weer oorslaap by Tom's Place, ons weet nou wat om te verwag en sal meer voorbereid wees op tekortkomings en onverwagte verrassings. Ja, ek sal die plek aanbeveel, want dit is een van die veiligste beste plekke om oor te bly in Harrismith, maak net seker jy boek 'n opgradeerde eenheid!

Slept well, showered well, will sleep over again.

We were a halfway stop on our way to the South Coast. We were greeted warmly, if you want to book and prefer a modern place, make sure you choose a place in the (courtyard). We didn't know that the places (at the front) were outdated; the courtyard places on the property are newer built places. The owner was kind enough to accommodate us to the upgraded places, just paid the difference. We were a large group and therefore booked 3 units. Places have so much potential, but alas, 1 of the units' tiles in the bathroom are loose and hanging. They also work with solar panels for power, etc. and the next morning they couldn't serve us breakfast, because there was no power. The other problem is, we couldn't order dinner either, and no one could deliver. At least we had 2 minute noodles for the little ones, but there were no microwave bowls or any other bowls to cook the noodles in. There were pots, but between the 3 units we rented, none of the stoves worked. Luckily we also had cereal porridge for the kids and they could at least eat porridge for dinner. The places were clean, but the kitchen cupboard of the family unit (sleeps 4) was full of ants. The lace curtains were torn in the bedroom. The beds slept wonderfully. We also wanted to say goodbye, but no one was in sight when we left, we just had to throw the key in the mailbox. If we pass by there again, we will stay overnight at Tom's Place again, we now know what to expect and will be more prepared for shortcomings and unexpected surprises. Yes, I would recommend the place, because it is one of the safest best places to stay in Harrismith, just make sure you book an upgraded unit!

Baie gerieflik, mooi en skoon.

Baie lekker gebly, skoon en netjies. Vriendelike diens. Daar was egter net 3 pakkies koffie vir 4 gaste en die melk in die houertjies was dik en suur. Geen seep in die houer op die wasbak nie.

Very comfortable, nice and clean.

Very nice stay, clean and tidy. Friendly service. However, there were only 3 packets of coffee for 4 guests and the milk in the containers was thick and sour. No soap in the container on the sink.

The most pleasant hostess and staff.

We stayed for just 1 night and are looking forward to our next stay. Very neat and original for a 1907 building.

Eienaars is baie diensbaar en opreg, waarlik gasvry en vriendelik.

Baie veilig en baie warm atmosfeer in die verblyf. Die beddens is gemaklik en alle geriewe is beskikbaar. Ek sal enige tyd hier oornag. Behalwe dat verdomde SABC 2 gelieg het oor die bokke se wedstryd wat uitgesaai sou word, maar dit het nou niks te doen met die eienaars nie, ek sê maar net.

Owners are very helpful and sincere, truly hospitable and friendly.

Very safe and very warm atmosphere in the accommodation. The beds are comfortable and all amenities are available. I would stay here anytime. Except that damn SABC 2 lied about the goats' game being broadcast, but that has nothing to do with the owners, I'm just saying.

Soveel potensiaal, maar helaas.

Kamer was skoon, en ooglopend goed. Eienaar voor die tyd laat weet die stoof werk nie, weens "misuse". Nie seker wat dit beteken nie, maar ons wou nie stoof gebruik nie. Krag was eers aangesit toe ons aankom, so geen warm water nie. Kon nie bad gebruik nie, weens daar nie 'n prop was nie. Kon nie wasbak gebruik nie, was verstop. Kon nie ander wasbak gebruik nie, want kraan het nie gewerk nie. Kon nie lugversorger gebruik nie, want daar was geen "remote" nie. Geen "remote" vir die TV nie. Stortvloer se teëls ontbreek, en kort dringend aandag. Ontbyt is bedien deur die eienaar se dogter, wat nog in haar slaapklere en kaalvoet was. Duidelik nie voorbereid vir wat moes gebeur nie, en duidelik nie lus gewees vir die oefening nie. Kon ons ook nie uit "check" nie, ons moes maar sluit en die sleutel in die bussie gooi. Soveel potensiaal, maar helaas.

So much potential, but alas.

Room was clean, and obviously good. Owner informed ahead of time that the stove does not work, due to "misuse". Not sure what that means but we didn't want to use stove. Power was only on when we arrived, so no hot water. Couldn't use bath because there was no plug. Couldn't use sink, was clogged. Couldn't use other sink because faucet didn't work. Couldn't use air conditioner because there was no "remote". No "remote" for the TV. Shower floor tiles are missing, and need urgent attention. Breakfast was served by the owner's daughter, who was still in her pajamas and barefoot. Clearly not prepared for what had to happen, and clearly not in the mood for the exercise. We couldn't "check out" either, we just had to lock and throw the key in the van. So much potential, but alas.
