Well-equipped chalet with a beautiful view of the pond.
There was initially a small snag with our booking, but it was soon resolved. Chalet (no. 5) is very well equipped. Had no problems with loadshedding, the air-con saved us on a cold winter night. We will stay there again.

Not again soon.
We had a nice stay, but definitely won't be going back soon or recommending the place to friends. Check-in for chalets is only 1 o'clock in the afternoon and not 7 o'clock as stated on the website. We called and asked if it was necessary for a gazebo to sit by the water or if there were canopies. Told us there's no need for a gazebo, believe me, if you're fishing, take your gazebo with you. At 9 o'clock in the evening we are grilling, then the sprinklers arrived. I call the office and they promise to send someone. Of course they didn't, so we had to make a plan ourselves.

Not good.
Upon arrival, they couldn't find our reservation at first. Place was empty. Yet they give us one of the worst units (number 19) at the back with no view of the pond or any grass in front. The only shower is in the bathtub, which is absolutely unusable. The "bracket" is too low against the wall and it was broken, so the shower could not be used. Some of the sheets on the beds had dirty spots. Mattresses are over the wall. The kitchen only has small glasses. When we left the next day and mentioned the problems to the reception, we were looked at funny.

Very bad.
We got there on the Saturday evening and there was local power which did not correspond at all to the schedule that was put down in the kitchen. We also couldn't shower or bathe at all. There was no hot water and no water pressure at all. There was also no toilet paper in the bathroom. If we didn't have toilet paper in the van, we sat completely without toilet paper either.

Very basic accommodation.
The decor of the chalets scares you off a lot at first, but at least everything is nice and clean. The beds have been slept in a bit hollow and bring your own pillows. There are no towels or complimentary tea or coffee as in most other establishments.

The place far exceeded our expectations!
We were tired from driving from Cape Town. It was 38°C, and we were all hot and tired. We were kindly received. The air conditioning was on in the chalet and the place was delightfully cool. The place was impeccably clean, tidy and well equipped. Their restaurant is open 24 hours and offers affordable meals and they have everything imaginable in the store. The babies were able to cool off in the pool and felt much better afterwards. Definitely a place I highly recommend!

Attention must be paid to the equipment in the premises
We used Toms Place as an east sleeper to Jeffreys Bay. When we returned there were only 3 plates and 3 glasses in the premises and there were 6 of us, The braai tongs were also gone and the sink plug. Furthermore, it is nice and quiet there. It was difficult for me to indicate whether I would recommend Toms Place because although I would stay there again there are some of my friends who are more full of fiemies and to whom I would not recommend it.

Big disappointment.
Tom's Place is definitely not value for money. It cost me, after so-called discounts, R816 for two people per night. The quality, cleanliness etc do not match the rate. R400 would have been closer to the spot. These rooms were probably built in the 1970s and have never been renovated. Water pressure was so low I couldn't wash properly. I would have done better washing out of a two gallon ice cream tub! Unfortunately I didn't read the reviews ahead of time - big mistake! I would have seen many people have complained for a long time. Tom's Place never see me again.

Very nice.
My partner and I and our friends chose to stay at Toms Place as there was a festival at The Oude Kraal. It was about 8 km away so we were glad it was so close. The place was neat and clean. The heater was already switched on because it was winter. Very nice and cosy place. The only negative comment was the water pressure in the bath shower. The pressure was really bad and you have to turn constantly for some time to get the rightl temperature. One has to get a perfect medium between extremely hot and ice cold. A bit old-fashioned style but as long as it's clean and tidy, I'm very happy. It worked out R480 per couple so it would not be expensive at all. When we arrived at reception, they asked for R100 cash deposit. I just thought they should let you know earlier because I never carry cash with me.

After a long journey from Hermanus we were tired and expected better quality.
Photos are misleading of unit we stayed in. The unit/furniture is old and dilapidated. Red ants all around the house. Couldn't even unload vehicle properly as ants bite you and then another plague of mopeds too. Couldn't put down any food or open drinks. Grills were dirty and we went to eat at a restaurant. Very good service from waitress and food was great. Ceiling fans in bedrooms will help with heat and keep away mosquitoes. Bedding was pretty clean.

Not worth the money.
Have had better accommodation at R960 per night. Reception is not much to speak of. Rooms are indeed large with full bathroom facilities but cleanliness/ beauty of carpets can be improved. It's quite safe to stay there but there is no mention of personal service or atmosphere. You are left to your own devices. TV is not a high priority for me, but reception was poor and there were only 1 or 2 channels. MNet was the only program with reasonable reception. Not worth the money.
