Heerlik!

Ons het heerlik gekuier. 40 km van die huis af. Gevoel soos 'n regte vakansie. Te heerlik!

Goed toegerusde chalet met 'n pragtige uitsig oor dam.

Daar was aanvanklik 'n klein haakplekkie met ons bespreking, maar dis gou opgelos. Chalet (nr. 5) is baie goed toegerus. Geen probleme gehad met loadshedding nie, die air-con het ons gered op 'n koue winternag. Ons sal weer daar bly.

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.

Nie gou weer nie.

Ons het lekker gebly, maar sal beslis nie gou teruggaan of die plek aanbeveel vir vriende nie. Inklok vir chalets is eers 1 uur die middag en nie 7 uur soos aangewys op die webwerf nie. Ons het gebel en gevra of dit nodig is vir 'n gazebo om by die water te sit of is daar afdakke. Vir ons gesê dis nie nodig vir 'n gazebo nie, glo my, as jy visvang, vat jou gazebo saam. 9 uur die aand is ons besig om te braai, toe kom die sproeiers aan. Ek bel kantoor toe en hulle beloof om iemand te stuur. Natuurlik het hulle nie, so moes ons maar self 'n plan maak.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

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.

Nie goed nie.

Met aankoms kon hul eers nie ons bespreking vind nie. Plek was leeg. Tog gee hulle ons een van die swakste eenhede (nommer 19) aan die agterkant met geen uitsig oor die dam of enige gras voor nie. Die enigste stort is in die bad, wat absoluut onbruikbaar is. Die "bracket" is te laag teen die muur en dit was stukkend, so die stort kon nie gebruik word nie. Van die lakens op die beddens het vuil kolle gehad. Matrasse is oor die muur. Die kombuis het net klein glase. Toe ons die volgende dag vertrek en die probleme aan die ontvangs noem, word ons snaaks aangekyk.

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.

Baie sleg.

Ons het die Saterdagaand daar aangekom toe was daar buertkrag wat glad nie ooreengestem het met die skedule wat daar neergesit was in die kombuis nie. Ons kon ook glad nie stort of bad nie. Daar was geen warm water nie en ook glad nie waterdruk nie. Daar was ook nie toiletpapier in die badkamer nie. As ons nie toiletpapier in die bakkie gehad het nie, het ons heeltemal sonder toiletpapier ook gesit.

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.

Die plek het ons verwagtinge ver oortref!

Ons was moeg gery van Kaapstad af. Dit was 38°C,en ons was maar almal warm en moeg. Ons is vriendelik ontvang. Die lugversorging was aan in die chalet en die plek was heerlik koel. Die plek was onberispelik skoon, netjies en goed toegerus. Hul restaurant is 24 uur oop en bied bekostigbare etes en hulle het alles denkbaar in die winkel. Die babas kon heerlik afkoel in die swembad en het daarna heelwat beter gevoel. Beslis 'n plek wat ek sterk aanbeveel!

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.

Groot teleurstelling.

Tom's Place is vir seker nie waarde vir geld nie. Dit het my, na sogenaamde afslag, R816 vir twee mense per nag gekos. Die kwaliteit, netheid ens strook nie met die tarief nie. R400 sou nader aan die kol gewees het. Hierdie kamers is seker in die 1970's gebou en nog nooit weer opgeknap nie. Waterdruk was so min ek kon nie ordentlik was nie. Ek sou beter gedoen het om uit 'n twee liter roomysbak te was! Ek het ongelukkig nie die resensies gelees voor die tyd nie - groot fout! Ek sou daar gesien het baie mense het lank al gekla. Tom's Place sien my nooit weer nie.

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.

Friendly on entering, but loud music from neighbours and I feel the bathroom was not clean and full of dust.

Friendly on entering, were not informed about the R 200 key deposit. Loud music from neighbours on arrival and early (08:00) on Saturday morning as well on the Sunday. I feel the bathroom was not clean and full of dust. For the amount that we paid, I expected more especially no view, and there were not people book in on the front view. Linen and blankets are old, and those cats on the wall?

Baie lekker.

Ek, my lewensmaat en van ons vriende het gekies om by Toms Place te bly aangesien daar 'n fees by De Oude Kraal was. Dit was als so 8 km weg so ons was bly dat dit so naby was. Die plekkie was netjies en skoon. Die verwarmer was reeds aangeskakel omdat dit winter was. Baie oulike en cosy plekkie. Die enigste negatiewe kommentaar was die waterdruk in die bad-stort. Die druk was regtig sleg en mens moet baie lank ronddraai om eintlik 'n regte temperatuur te kry. Mens moes 'n perfekte medium tussen vuurwarm en yskoud ook kry. Bietjie outydse styl maar solank als netjies is en skoon is ek heel gelukkig. Dit het so R480 per paartjie uitgewerk so dis glad nie duur gewees nie. Toe ons by ontvangs aankom, toe vra hul vir R100 kontantdeposito. Ek het net gedink hul moet mens dit vroeër laat weet aangesien ek nooit kontant dra nie.

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.

Het vantevore daar oorgeslaap - sal weer.

Baie vriendelik - ons het ons verblyf aangeskuif na ons vervoertrok se ratkas gebreuk het - hulle was baie tegemoetkomend. En gesê dat wanneer ons gereed is hulle net laat weet.

Stayed there before - will again.

Very friendly - we moved our stay up after our transport truck's gearbox broke - they were very accommodating. And said that when we are ready just let them know.

Generally needs some TLC.

Well located, but very neglected. Limited TV stations, bed old and one can feel springs, restaurant/take away closes at 18:00. Would not stay longer than one night.

Akkommodasie was voldoende.

Vriendelike diens, warm water, maar beddegoed baie oud en gebreekte asblikke binne en buite. Beknop.

Swak.

Glad nie aanbeveelbaar nie. Die foto's is misleidend. Swak waterdruk en vuil. Die plek en omgewing kort baie aandag. Nooit weer sal ek daar oorslaap nie.

Terrible.

Not recommended. The photos are misleading, weak water pressure and dirty, the place and area needs attention. I won't stay there again.

Na 'n lang reis vanaf Hermanus was ons moeg en het beter kwaliteit verwag.

Foto's is misleidend van eenheid waarin ons gebly het. Die eenheid/meubels is oud en vervalle. Rooi miere reg rondom huis. Kon nie eers behoorlik voertuig aflaai nie soos miere jou byt en dan nog 'n plaag brommers ook. Kon geen kos of oop drankies neersit nie. Braaiers was vuil en ons het by restaurant gaan eet. Baie goeie diens van kelnerin en kos was puik. Plafonwaaiers in slaapkamers sal help met hitte en weghou van muskiete. Beddegoed was mooi skoon.

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.

Nie die geld werd nie.

Het al beter akkommodasie gehad teen R960 per nag. Van ontvangs is daar nie veel om van te praat nie. Kamers wel groot met volle badkamergeriewe maar netheid/ skoonheid van matte kan verbeter. Dis redelik veilig om daar te bly maar daar is geen sprake van persoonlike diens of atmosfeer nie. Jy is aan jou eie oorgelaat. TV is nie vir my 'n hoë prioriteit nie, maar ontvangs was swak en daar was net 1 of 2 kanale. MNet was die enigste program met redelike ontvangs. Nie die geld werd nie.

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.
