Uitstekend, gasvry. Sommer net bakgat.

Dit was in die oulikste cottage. Marietjie, Martha, woewe, duiwe, hoender en Springbokkie met gunstelinge.

Awesome overnight stay.

Everything was to our liking. The only tiny tiny problem was the stairs. They are a bit steep for older people like us.

Baie dankie vir 'n skoon, netjiese, gerieflike en rustige verblyf.

Ons gasvrou was Martha omdat Marietjie vir 'n operasie weg was, maar Martha het ons vriendelik ontvang en alles vir ons mooi gewys. Sy is voorwaar 'n staatmaker. Baie dankie. Dit was ook aangenaam om met Angel, die hond, kennis te maak wat alte bly was oor die aandag terwyl sy huismense weg was. Jammer ons kon net een nag oorslaap.

It was also pleasant to get to know Angel, the dog, who was just too happy and basking in the attention while his people were away. Pity we could only stay one night.

Ideale plek vir die moeë reisiger om te ontspan!

Na 'n lang en uitputtende reis was hierdie 'n verrassende en baie welkome oornagplek. Die gasvrou het ons baie gou tuis laat voel en bederf. Die steil trappe was toe ook nie so erg soos ons gelees het nie - ons twee laat-sestigers het geen probleem daarmee gehad nie! Sal definitief weer hier oorslaap as ons deur Middelburg moet ry.

Tortelduif Cottage is sekerlik een van die beste oornag verblyfplekke wat ek nog in gebly het.

Tortelduif Cottage is uitstekend toegerus met alles wat die reisiger mag benodig. Dit is pragtig gemeubileer met regte antieke meubels en ook meubels wat deur die eienaar self gemaak is. Henning en Marietjie is besonderse mense en het my so gul en hartlik ontvang dat ek binnekort soos n ou vriend, selfs familie gevoel het. Die pragtige tuin en die mak springbokkies het 'n heerlike huislike atmosfeer geskep. Die gasheer en -vrou het hulle huis en ook hulle harte vir my oopgemaak. Wonderlike mense!. Baie, baie dankie. Dit was so lekker.

Jy voel sommer tuis toe ons in die plekkie instap.

Terwyl ons nog op pad was is ons geskakel vir 'n moontlike aanduiding wanneer ons sal opdaag. Ons is hartlik ontvang. Dit was 'n heerlike nagrus op die bed van die bo vertrek. Die badkamertjie is baie klein. Onthou om te buk asb. Daar was koffie/tee en melk om jou te laaf. Buite is 'n heerlike kuierplekkie. Eienares was alreeds werk toe toe ons weer vertrek. Sy het moeite gedoen om ons te skakel of ons dit geniet het en om ons 'n veilige reis toe te wens. Die bokkie is te pragtig. Baie dankie vir 'n heerlike verblyf, Tortelduif.

While we were still on our way we were contacted for a possible indication of when we will arrive. We were warmly received. It was a lovely night's rest on the bed in the upper room. The bathroom is very small. Please remember to bend down. There was coffee/tea and milk to tide you over. Outside is a lovely place to hang out. Owner had already gone to work when we left again. She made an effort to call us if we enjoyed it and to wish us a safe trip. The kid is too beautiful. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay, Tortelduif.

Mooi en rustig en vriendelik.

Pragtige klein cottage, geleë in mooi tuin agter die hoofhuis. Dit was heerlik om die Springbokkies in die tuin te sien rondspring en om hulle te help voer.

Heerlik rustig in die Karoo.

Dit is 'n pragtige knus plekkie met alles wat benodig word. Baie spesiaal met die oulikste dekor. Let wel die trappies na die slaapkamer is nie vir ouer mense geskik nie maar as jy nog jonk en fluks is, is dit die moeite werd.

Goeie, veilige en smaakvolle oornagplek.

Smaakvolle binneshuiseversiering van duursame oud-modiese houtmeubels. Baie stylvol, maar ietwat ongerieflik. Bed is baie hoog, steil trappies van kombuis na slaapkamer en badkamer vanaf kombuis, so goeie beplanning is nodig om onnodige klimmery uit te skakel. Lieflike tuin met braaigeriewe beskikbaar. Goeie oornagplekkie en goeie waarde vir geld.

Good, safe and tasteful getaway.

Tasteful interior decorating with durable old-school wooden furniture. Very stylish but a bit uncomfortable. Bed is very high, steep steps from kitchen to bedroom and bathroom from kitchen, so good planning is needed to eliminate unnecessary climbing. Lovely garden with braai facilities. Good overnight place and good value for money.

Lieflik, het vreeslik lekker gebly!

Die gasheer en gasvrou het ons so welkom laat voel. Marietjie het die ekstra myl gegaan om ons verblyf so gemaklik moontlik te maak, van 'n slaai saam met ons braaivleis en mieliepap voor ons die langpad weer aangedurf het, asook speelgoed vir ons dogtertjie uit te pak waarmee sy in die tuin kon speel. Definitief die moeite werd!

Lovely, had a great stay!

The host and hostess made us feel so welcome. Marietjie went the extra mile to make our stay as comfortable as possible, from a salad with our braai meat and corn porridge before we ventured the long way again, as well as unpacking toys for our little girl to play with in the garden. Definitely worth it!

Klein, maar gerieflik.

Plekke is klein, maar baie netjies. Steil trappe na die boonste vloer waar die slaap-eenheid, toilet en stort geleë is. Sal nie aanbeveel vir iemand wat trappe moet klim nie, asook nie geskik vir kinders nie. Pluspunt: dis baie netjies.

Pragtige plekkie. Het heerlik gebly.

Pragtige plekkie - ek het nes Alice in Wonderland gevoel in die boonste verdieping. Puik diens ontvang - sal definitief weer daar bly. Dalk kan daar net in die advertering klem geplaas word dat die trappe boontoe vreeslik steil is - vir ouer mense mag dit 'n probleem wees maar ons het heerlik gebly! Baie dankie!

Lekker oornag vertoef, maar steil trappe bietjie moeilik. Beslis nie geskik vir ouer mense, ens. nie.

Ons was vriendelik ontvang en het gemaklik gebly. Alles wat ons nodig gehad het was daar, en die eenheid is pragtig uitgerus. Ons stel net voor dat gaste moet vooraf bewus gemaak word van die steil trappe in die eenheid, want dit kan vir sommige 'n probleem wees.

Ons het net verblyf verwag, maar baie meer gekry in perfeksie en onbeperkte gasvryheid!

Marietjie en Henning het 'n wonderlike gawe van gasvryheid en warmte. Hulle het ons so welkom laat voel dat ons in die toekoms 'n draai sal ry om by hulle tuis te gaan. Die woonstel is uiters keurig gemeubileer met oudhede en alle geriewe is nuut en skoon. Die blyplek is 'n kort loopafstand van Supermarkte en alles is in detail voorsien om self kos voor te berei of te braai. Ons beveel die verblyf ten sterkste aan.

The apartment was tastefully decorated with older furniture and all the facilities were neat and clean. The cottage is walking distance from the supermarkets, and everything is well equipped for self-catering and to braai. We highly recommend the accommodation.

Die Tortelduif Cottage is lieflik. 'n Ware romantiese nessie om in oor te slaap. Alles is mooi, skoon en gerieflik ingerig.

Vriendelike ontvangs. Die eenheid is beknop en die trappe na die slaaparea is ongemaklik. Die stort en toiletgeriewe is geweldig knap.

Jammer, maar ek kan dit nie aanbeveel nie, alhoewel die eienaar baie vriendelik en bekwaam voorkom. Miskien sal jonger mense nie 'n probleem hê met die trappe en ongemaklike stortgeriewe nie. Maar kan dit nie aanbeveel vir ouer gade nie. Middelburg was bietjie van 'n teleurstelling. Min of geen behoorlike restaurante nie. Die hotel sal seker die beste opsie wees indien ons Middelburg ooit weer sou besoek.

Friendly reception. The unit is cramped and the stairs to the sleeping area are uncomfortable. The shower and toilet facilities are extremely nice.

Sorry, but I can't recommend it, although the owner seems very friendly and competent. Maybe younger people won't have a problem with the stairs and awkward shower facilities. But can't recommend it for older spouse. Middelburg was a bit of a disappointment. Few or no proper restaurants. The hotel will probably be the best option if we ever visit Middelburg again.
