'n Oase op ons pad huis toe, stil, rustig en 'n lafenis vir die siel.

Dit was 'n heerlike ervaring, van die gul ontvangs deur gasvrou, tot die netjiese, skoon rondawel en heerlike aandete.

Terwyl ons oppad was, is ons geskakel deur Annelie om te verneem of ons aandete gaan neem. Dit was vir ons 'n groot verrassing omdat ons reeds baie ver gereis het. Uiters vriendelike diens met 'n rustige atmosfeer. Ons het onmiddellik tuis gevoel, baie dankie.

As jy in Colesberg moet oornag, moet jy hierdie plek nie misloop nie. Dit is uitstekend.

Ongelooflik 'n vriendelike eienaar. Baie dankie vir jou behulpsaamheid om ons kos warm te maak, jou vriendelike verwelkoming, en jou 4 pragtige honde. Jou plek is baie skoon en netjies. Ek kan sien die Karoo mense is nog trots op wat hulle doen. 11 uit 10 vir jou.

Waarde vir geld in 'n beautiful omgewing.

Ons het regtig lekker hier oornag. Die personeel was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Oppad sontoe kon ons ons ete bestelling plaas, en toe ons daar aankom was ons kos reg, wat baie gehelp het na 'n lang pad. Die verblyf was baie netjies en skoon. Die feit dat ons ons hondjie kon saambring, was 'n bonus. Ontbyt die volgende oggend was heerlik en kon ons verder vertrek op ons reis.

The fact that we could bring our little dog was a bonus. Breakfast the next morning was delicious and we were able to continue our journey.

Veilige en rustige oornag verblyf.

Veilige en rustige plek om te oornag. Ons kamer (nr 2) was net bietjie te klein na ons smaak, maar voldoende vir ʼn oornag met vars skoon linne en handdoeke. Restaurant se kos was smaaklik en waarde vir geld. Kyk asb na bad se prop - dit lek nogal baie. Vermoed die prop se seël is weg.

Safe and peaceful place to spend the night. Our room (no. 2) was just a little too small for our taste, but sufficient for an overnight stay with fresh clean linen and towels.

Nie wat ek verwag het nie.

Ek was onder die indruk dat ek 'n eenheid met 2 kamers bespreek het, maar ons het 'n eenheid gekry waar al die beddens in een vertrek was. Daar was ongelukkig geen tafel om by te eet of skottelgoedseep om die skottelgoed mee te was nie. Die dubbelbed het sand tussen die lakens gehad.

Not what I expected.

I was under the impression that I booked a unit with 2 rooms, but we got a unit where all the beds were in one room. Unfortunately, there was no table to eat at or dish soap to wash the dishes with. The double bed had sand between the sheets.

Van Zylsvlei B&B Karoo Guest Farm 's response

Hallo Liza-Marie. Dankie vir jou resensie. As jy teruggaan na jou bespreking sal jy sien dat jy nie 'n 2 slaapkamer eenheid bespreek het nie, maar 'n kamer met slegs 'n dubbelbed en 'n enkelbed. Jy het 'n groter kamer gekry as waarvoor gevra. Jammer oor die seep, maar ons wou nie het dat die gaste met skottelgoed sukkel nie, die werkers sal dit doen. Daar is ongelukkig nie plek vir 'n tafel binne nie, daarom het al die kamers buite tafels en stoele. Oor die sand op die lakens laat sak ek my kop in skaamte, dit is onaanvaardbaar. Jammer daaroor. Mooi 2024 vir jou en jou gesin. Groete, Annalie

Comfortable unit but found restaurant meals lacking.

Rondavels were immaculate and well equipped. Bathroom spacious with large shower but no soap basin or toiletry rack in shower. Lamb meal was disappointingly overcooked and no decent white wine available.

Verblyf was normaal. Die gasheer van die gastehuis was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Dankie vir die ekstra voorsiening van borde en messe vir die ete. Ek dink egter die prys is bietjie hoog in vergelyking met die ander verblyfplekke waar ons ook was.

Ons het vantevore al daar oorgebly. Die kamers is skoon en gerieflik ingerig en die beddens heerlik warm. Ons het nie van enige ander geriewe gebruik gemaak nie. Ek sal graag wil voorstel dat die skedule vir beurtkrag aan die besoekers beskikbaar gemaak word. Net 'n nota wat in die kamers gelaat word sal voldoende wees. Baie dankie. Ons het heerlik gebly en sal weer van Van Zylsvlei gebruikmaak.

Pragtige terrein. Ideale oorblyplek vir langpad. Sal weer daar oorbly.

Ons het in motorhome gebly en die twee jong dames in 'n chalet. Die chalet was baie netjies en 'n heerlike oorslaapplek. Die tuine is pragtig en kan heerlik buite ontspan. Mooi grasperke, bome en sitplekke. Aangename ervaring. Die kampterrein is ook baie netjies, die ablusie moet beslis opgegradeer word. Die aandete in hulle restaurant was fantasties lekker. So ook die ontbyt. Is baie bly dat ons daar was.

Uitstekende en vriendelike ontvangs deur Melissa. Ek het bespreek vir 'n dubbelkamer met 'n stort, maar is toe 'n kamer met 'n badstort toegeken. Sy het dit dadelik reggestel.

Die lugreëling en TV wou nie werk nie, maar die "geliefde" beurtkrag het hiertoe bygedra. Aandete en ontbyt was puik. Ek wil graag aanbeveel dat julle die olielampies vervang met Magnito Lithium ligte of gas ampies, om brandveiligheid te verbeter. Ek en moontlik baie ander gaste is nie meer gewoond aan paraffienlampies nie. Heg asb foto's in van die badkamer. Julle advertensie lees B&B wat aandui dat die tarief ontbyt insluit, wat nie die geval is nie. Julle tarief is in elk geval goed en baie kompeterend. Haal die B&B uit. Julle is 'n besnderse oornag-verblyfplek en Van Zylsvlei Karoo Guest Farm is great.

Excellent and friendly reception by Melissa. I booked a double room with a shower but was then allocated a room with a bath shower. She corrected it immediately.

The air conditioner and TV did not want to work, but the "beloved" load shedding contributed to this. Dinner and breakfast were great. I would like to recommend that you replace the oil lamps with Magnito Lithium lights or gas lamps, to improve fire safety. I and possibly many other guests are no longer used to paraffin lamps. Please attach photos of the bathroom. Your advertisement reads B&B indicating that the rate includes breakfast, which is not the case. In any case, your rate is good and very competitive. Check out the B&B. You are a great overnight accommodation and Van Zylsvlei Karoo Guest Farm is great.

Sou gehou het van beter kommunikasie oor loadshedding-skedule. Naas dit was alles basies, maar basies goed.

Vermy met beurtkrag.

Wanneer dit 42 grade is en die lugverkoeling werk nie a.g.v. beurtkrag, is die ander opsie gewoonlik 'n lekker stort. Ons kon nie stort nie: geen water omdat daar nie krag is nie. Geen haardroër. Geen flitse vir beurtkrag, slegs 'n paraffienlamp. Die 'lamsvleis' met aandete was uiters taai. Die malvapoeding was lekker. Beleg asb. in sonpanele of 'n kragopwekker.

Avoid with load shedding.

When it's 42 degrees and the air conditioning doesn't work because load shedding, the other option is usually a nice shower. We could not shower: no water because there is no power. No hair dryer. No flashlights for load shedding, only a paraffin lamp. The 'lamb' with dinner was extremely tough. The marshmallow pudding was delicious. Invest please in solar panels or a generator.

Van Zylsvlei B&B Karoo Guest Farm 's response

Ricky, ek is so jammer dat jy 'n slegte ervaring by ons gehad het. Ons perseel is ontsettend groot en die koste om alles op solar te sit, is net nie vir ons finansieel die moeite werd nie. Ons almal is tog bewus van beurtkrag en die meeste mense het begrip daarvoor. Ons gebruik 'n generator voor die hoofgebou sodat die etes wel voorsien kan word.

As jy my reviews lees, sal jy sien niemand het al oor taai vleis gekla nie, so jammer dat jy toe 'n taai chop gekry het. Ons gee vir die gaste magneto ligte, so dis my fout dat jy nie een ontvang het nie, jammer daaroor.

Ek vra weer om verskoning vir jou ervaring op Van Zylsvlei.

Stunning. You arrive as a stranger and leave as a friend. Annalie and Deon go out of their way for you.

We stayed here on our way up to JHB and again on our way home, July 2022. Really lovely, clean and comfortable accommodation, with air conditioning for the cold winter nights. Our three Border Collies were also welcomed. Warm fire to sit at and even during loadshedding, they made a plan. Nice and quiet, as you are away from the N1. Very safe too. they have a restaurant, which serves delicious meals and breakfasts. Annalie and Deon go out of their way for you. You arrive as a stranger, and leave as a friend. Highly recommended.

Soos altyd was die kamers perfek netjies en goed toegerus en die aandete was absoluut uitstaande!

Ek stop gereeld oor op Colesberg vir my reise tussen Kaapstad en Johannesburg, en na vele ander verblyf plekke bly Van Zylsvlei my gunsteling. Dit voel elke keer asof ek by familie op die plaas kuier, en selfs al is dit aflos personeel wat aan diens is, bly hulle net so professioneel en vriendelik. Die lekkerste is daardie ou groot honde wat sommer so op jou voete kom slaap!

The nicest are those big old dogs that just come to sleep on your feet!

Was nie baie gelukkig nie. Het meer verwag vir die prys.

Binne die rondawel was niks "wow" nie. Dit was nie waarde vir die geld wat ek moes betaal nie. Muskiete eet 'n mens op en my bed was vol klein spinnekoppies. Dalk geval van die grasdak af. Voel hulle moet insekte beheer as gaste daar moet bly. Stort was so warm, het gesukkel om temperatuur te kan beheer of ek verbrand myself.

Inside the rondavel, nothing was "wow". It was not value for the money I had to pay. Mosquitoes eat you up and my bed was full of little spiders. Maybe fell from the thatched roof. Feel they should control insects if guests are to stay there. Shower was so hot, struggled to control temperature or I would burn myself.

Mislydende resensies.

Van Zyls B&B se resensies was te goed om waar te wees. Mens kyk altyd na 'n plek se resensies voor jy 'n bespreking maak. Per ongeluk het ek 2 eenhede bespreek as gevolg van swak internet. Ons was nie keuse gegee watter een ons verkies nie. Het R800 betaal en het hom verkies maar was sleutel gegee vir no 10 wat 'n vuil eenheid was van R700. Eenheid 10 se beddegoed was vuil soos vorige gaste daar geslaap het. Matte was vuil en het gestink en vol kolle. Moes eie beddegoed en handdoeke uit karavaan gaan haal. Ontvangsdame gesê eienaar sal ons kom sien, wat nie gebeur het nie, ons moes na haar toe gaan. Eenheid lyk of lanklaas skoon gemaak was. Het badkamer ontsmet voor gebruik het. Ontbyt was nie ingesluit by bedrag wat betaal was nie. Moes ekstra betaal. Aandete was uiters teleurstellend, gebraaide skaapnek volgens spyskaart, was opgekookte nek wat gevries was, warm gemaak was en net so half warm op jou bord gesit met 'n koue jellie sous bo-oor. Afskeepkos. Nie waarde vir geld. Ek sal beslis nooit weer daar oornag nie.

Misleading reviews.

Van Zyls B&B's reviews were too good to be true. One always checks a place's reviews before making a reservation. By mistake I booked 2 units due to poor internet. We were not given a choice which one we preferred. Paid R800 and chose him but was given key to no 10 which was a dirty unit of R700. Unit 10's bedding was dirty as previous guests had slept there. Carpets were dirty and smelly and full of stains. Had to collect own bedding and towels from caravan. Receptionist said owner would come to see us, which didn't happen, we had to go to her. Unit looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a long time. Sanitized bathroom before use. Breakfast was not included in the amount paid. Had to pay extra. Dinner was extremely disappointing, roast mutton neck according to menu, was boiled neck that was frozen, reheated and put on your plate only half warm with a cold jelly sauce on top. Neglected food. Not value for money. I will definitely never stay there again.

Van Zylsvlei B&B Karoo Guest Farm 's response

Goeie middag Naomi
Baie dankie vir die resensie maar ek voel dat ek 'n paar goed moet reg stel.
U het perongeluk die verkeerde kamer geboek omdat u nie die eerste keer daardie kamer aanvaar het nie.
Ek het self skoon linne vir die kamers uitgehaal, dit mag bietjie kreeukels he want die Percale maak partykeer so. Die kamer was nie vuil nie., miskien stowwerig van die deur wat nie dig toemaak nie.
Jammer oor die matte, ek het daarna omgesien.
Die eienaar sou u kom spreek, maar ek het hier aangekom letterlik 10 minute voor julle by ontvangs ingestap het.
Die aandete word in die oond gemaak en dan op die griller gesit, so ek weet nie waar u aan die idee kom nie.
Ek is jammer dat u so ervaring gehad het.
Groete

Adequate, but not great.

There was a heavy downpour and the rooms flooded, leaving a charging cellphone sitting in a pool of water. Streaks of water out of one of the plug sockets suggested that water ingress had been a problem previously. The owner mopped up the water with a single towel which was strangely all that seemed to be at his disposal. There was very little apology even when a child slipped on the wet tiles and hurt herself. No soap in the soap dispensers. Many mosquitoes but netting on only one window of one of the rooms. At just under R2000 for one night, we did not feel this stay was value for money.

Van Zylsvlei B&B Karoo Guest Farm 's response

Morning,
Thanks for your review.
I am so sorry for what had happened in your room. I can assure you it never rained that heavy and that much at a time since we've been the owners - and that is years! That has never ever happened it that room before; this was a first. We experienced a lot of flooding that day and it was a once-off.
Sorry if you had a bad experience with us.

Regards,
Annalie.

Misleidend.

Ek het 'n tweeslaapkamerplek geboek vir my en my vrou. Ons het 'n tweeling van 1 jaar oud en hulle moet apart slaap, anders maak hulle mekaar wakker. Ek het die dag voor die tyd bevestig dat alles reg is. Toe ons die aand 6 uur daar aankom het hulle net 'n eenslaapkamer beskikbaar en die eenheid wat ek geboek het was klaar vol mense. Ons het toe maar probeer slaap, maar het 12 uur die aand maar gepak en verder gery Kaap toe. Dit het my en my gesin se lewens in gevaar gestel.

Misleading.

I booked a two bedroom place for me and my wife. We have 1 year old twins and they have to sleep separately or they wake each other up. I confirmed the day before that everything was fine. When we got there at 6 o'clock in the evening they only had one bedroom available and the unit I booked was already full of people. We then tried to sleep, but at 12 o'clock in the evening we packed up and drove on to the Cape. It put me and my family's lives at risk.

Van Zylsvlei B&B Karoo Guest Farm is 'n pragtige en gerieflike oornagplek en kindervriendelik met die oop grasperke wat daar is met speelpark. Daar is ook 'n lekker groot swembad vir wanneer mens wil afkoel en ontspan na 'n lang dag op die pad. Kroeg en restuarant het 'n lekker atmosfeer en verskaf alles wat mens benodig. Die eienaars is baie vriendelik en diens is puik. Ons sal die plek vir enige iemand aanraai.

'n Wegbreek in sy eie reg op pad na 'n vakansie.

Daar is niks beter as die stilte van die Karoo om rus vir die siel te kry nie. Kombineer dit met gasvryheid uit die boonste rakke, 'n heerlike swem in die plaasswembad, afgesluit met Karoolam vir aandete en jy het 'n wenresep wat selfs kinders laat smag na meer.

A getaway in its own right on the way to a holiday.

Gemaklik. Die swembad was goed na so 'n lang ry!

Ek was so effe verward. Ek het 'n familie-eenheid gebook vir R900. My nefie het egter besluit om nie saam te kom nie. Ek het per e-pos die gasteplaas laat weet van die verandering. Hulle het my toe in 'n enkelkamer met 'n stort gesit. Ek het wel steeds R900 betaal. Behalwe vir dit, is die eienaars baie vriendelik en toeganklik, hulle is baie verwelkomend vir diere, en ek was gemaklik genoeg.

I was a bit confused. I booked a family unit for R900. However, my nephew decided not to come along. I informed the guest farm of the change by e-mail. They then put me in a single room with a shower. I did still pay R900. Other than that, the owners are very friendly and approachable, they are very welcoming to animals, and I was comfortable enough.

Onverwagse verwikkelinge.

Ons het al 1 keer vantevore by van Zylsvlei oorgebly en dit was 'n baie aangename ervaring. Die kamer waar in ons gebly het was goed ingerig, netjies en die geriewe soos die swembad en aandete en gasvryheid was so lekker. Hierdie jaar was anders. Met aankoms, was ons onaangenaam verras met die feit dat hul nie ontbyt of aandete bedien nie a.g.v. Covid. Dit was nie vooraf genoem nie en ons het steeds die volle oornagverblyf betaal. Ons moes laatmiddag inry dorp toe om iets te eet en ook weer baie vroeg uit omdat ons nie ontbyt kon kry nie. Ons was in n rondawel en dit was n uiters onaangename ervaring. Buiten loadshedding wat niemand kan beheer nie, het daar 'n vlermuis in ons rondawel ingekom en met 'n gesukkel het ons hom uitgekry. Die hele res van die aand kon ons hoor hoe hulle probeer inkom. Nodeloos om te se het ons amper niks geslaap nie. Die handdoeke was ook nie skoon nie. Ek dink nie ek sal sommer weer daar bly tydens die hele pandemie nie.

Unexpected developments.

We have stayed at van Zylsvlei 1 time before and it was a very pleasant experience. The room we stayed in was well furnished, tidy and the facilities such as the swimming pool and dinner and hospitality were so nice. This year was different. Upon arrival, we were unpleasantly surprised with the fact that they do not serve breakfast or dinner due to Covid. This was not mentioned in advance and we still paid the full overnight stay. We had to drive into town late in the afternoon to eat something and also leave very early because we couldn't get breakfast. We were in a rondavel and it was an extremely unpleasant experience. Apart from loadshedding which no one can control, a bat entered our rondavel and with a struggle we got it out. All the rest of the evening we could hear them trying to get in. Needless to say we hardly slept. The towels were not clean either. I don't think I'll just stay there again during the whole pandemic.

Van Zylsvlei B&B Karoo Guest Farm 's response

Hallo Lizette
Baie dankie vir jou Review... ek moet weet wat in my besigheid aangaan sodat ons daarop kan verbeter

Oor die etes: ek is seker dat jy kan verstaan dat ons almal se gesondheid net in ag geneem het .... daarom geen etes. So baie gaste was so bly en dankbaar dat ons eerlik was en nie gemaak het of niks verkeerd is nie

Ons is op 'n plaas en en daar is maar velddiere hier .... jammer maar oor die vlermuise het ons nie beheer nie en ons maak hulle ook nie dood nie...

Oor die handoeke voel ek baie sleg... dit hoort nie so nie en ek vra regtig groot om verskoning daaroor.

Lekker aand

Ideaal geleë, oornag slaapplek langs die N1.

Hierdie oornag slaapplek is ontwikkel as 'n motel langs die ou N1. Die nuwe N1 is ook nog baie naby. Daar is gerieflike rondawels en kamers beskikbaar. Etes kan op aanvraag geniet word vir 'n ekstra bedrag. Aanbeveel vir 'n gerieflike halfweg oornagplek vir 'n billike bedrag en gerieflike beddens.

Dis 'n baie netjiese en aangename oornagstop, rustig en kamers op standaard.

Die mense is baie pragtige persone en gaste word na gekyk, baie welkom gevoel. Kos was regtig baie aangenaam en als was bekostigbaar. Kroeg se sitarea kan dalk bietjie meer gemakliker wees sou jy daar wil sit en rustig ontspan en sport kyk, maar aanbeveling van ons kant. Dan weer is dit 'n baie interessante kroeg en word na jou omgesien wanneer jy gebruik maak daarvan. Die enigste negatiewe ding is die swembad, is vuil, daar is twee pragtige honde op erf en hulle swem saam en hulle hare is hele swembad vol, afgesien van hare in swembad is die swembad nog vuil, en as jy wil afkoel en langs swembad ontspan sal dit nie aangeraai word nie. Ons is hondemense en selfs vir ons was dit te veel. Dan die heining om die erf is verwaarloos en laat veiligheid in gedrang voel. Maar ons het baie lekker geslaap en oornag en kamers is presies wat verwag word. Die atmosfeer is kalm en rustig.

It's a very neat and pleasant overnight stop, quiet and standard rooms.

The people are very beautiful persons and guests are looked after, made to feel very welcome. Food was really very pleasant and everything was affordable. Bar's seating area could be a little more comfortable if you want to sit there and relax and watch sports, but recommendation from our side. Then again it is a very interesting bar and you are looked after when you use it. The only negative thing is the pool is dirty, there are two beautiful dogs on the yard and they swim together and their hair is all over the pool, apart from hair in the pool the pool is still dirty, and if you want to cool off and relax by the pool would not be advised. We are dog people and even for us it was too much. Then the fence around the yard is neglected and makes safety feel compromised. But we slept very well and spent the night and rooms are exactly what is expected. The atmosphere is calm and peaceful.

False advertising.

A tiny room with one double and one single bed crammed into a tiny space so that you had to climb over the beds to get to the one side. Thank goodness we were not three adult males who would have been expected to share a bed! No shampoo or conditioner provided. Advertised as providing Wi-Fi - what they don’t mentioned is the Wi-Fi is only accessible in the main house and not in the rooms. Advertising DStv but it is only OpenView. Very limited channels. I will not be going there again!

Word verkeerd geadverteer, nie B&B nie, moet wees oornagverblyf - vir ontbyt moet ekstra betaal word, R78 p.p.

Hoewel skoon geriewe, is ontbyt teen R880 per nag nie ingesluit nie. Die rondawel is uiters beknop, geen plek vir tasse of beweeg nie, nog minder om klere vir volgende dag uit te hang. Die badkamer het nie plek om handdoek op te hang nie, twee hakies wat wel daar is, is of handdoek of klere. Om iewers te sit, is die keuse of die bed of buite op draadstoele. Ons het vir 'n maand lank in die Kaap getoer en het die akkommodasie teleurstellend gevind vir die prys.

Although clean facilities, breakfast is not included at R880 per night. The rondavel is extremely cramped, no room for bags or to move, much less to hang out clothes for the next day. The bathroom has no place to hang towels, two hooks that are there are either towels or clothes. To sit somewhere, the choice is either the bed or outside on wire chairs. We toured the Cape for a month and found the accommodation disappointing for the price.

Van Zylsvlei B&B Karoo Guest Farm 's response

Goeie dag Henning,

Baie dankie vir u terugvoer. Ek is jammer dat u die akkommodasie nie voldoende gevind het nie.

By u bespreking word aangedui dat ontbyt nie ingesluit is nie. Te veel mense wil vroeg ry dan voel hulle hulle betaal vir iets wat hulle nie wil gebruik nie.

Ons sal aandag gee aan hangplek, maar hou asb. in gedagte dat die meeste mense net oornag en dus nie baie bagasie het nie.

Ek neem alles in ag wat u genoem het en sal probeer verbeter waar dit moontlik is.

Mooi dag,
Van Zylsvlei B&B

Netjiese, skoon oornag verblyf met vriendelike diens.

Ons het 'n kans gevat om te vroeg in te boek en hulle het ons onmiddellik geakkommodeer sonder om vrae te vra. Troeteldier vriendelik en smaakvolle aandete en ontbyt. Pragtige rondawels. Jammer die rondawels het nie persoonlike buite stoepies nie.

Die geriewe is uitstekend en bekostigbaar en die eienaars baie vriendelik en hulle gesels lekker met die gaste. Die kos wat hulle voorsit, is uitstekend. Dit was ook baie lekker om saam met hul vriendelike honde om die swembad te kuier.

Die verblyf was voldoende in terme van bed en bad, maar weens ons ondervinding sal ons nie weer terug keer nie.

Ek, my man en my ma sou aanvanklik by Van Zylsvlei oornag om die reis terug van die Wes-Kaap na Gauteng te breek. Na ons ons bespreking gemaak het, het my suster, haar man en hulle 2-jarige seuntjie ook vir drie mense bespreek om dieselfde aand as ons te oornag op pad sodat ons saam die reis kon aanpak. Met die aankoms het die eienaars die besprekings verwar en 'n kamer vir ons gegee met 'n dubbelbed en twee enkelbeddens (in stede van een enkelbed vir my ma) en vir my suster se gesin slegs 'n enkelbed. Toe ons dit bevraagteken, is vir my swaer gesê dat hy kry waarvoor hy betaal, al het hy vir drie mense bespreek. Gelukkig was ons saam en kon my ma met hulle 'n kamer deel en ek en my man slaap toe in die kamer met die dubbelbed. Die kamer het egter 'n oorweldigende reuk van motballe gehad wat uiters onaangenaam was. Toe die eienaar die fout agterkom, is ons geskakel in ons kamer om te vra waarom ons nie die fout uitgelig het nie, wat ons wel gedoen het, maar die man het dit van die hand gewys en daarom het ons 'n plan gemaak onder mekaar om 'n bed vir elke gas te verseker. Wat egter die verblyf by Van Zylsvlei onaangenaam gemaak het, is die feit dat my suster se seuntjie deur een van die honde gebyt is. Daar is baie honde op die perseel wat meerendeels baie oulik en vriendelik is. My familie is mal oor diere en my susterskind is geen uitsondering. Die eienaar se man wat saam met ons kamer toe gestap het, het gesien hoe my kleinneef by die worshond gaan kniel en het versuim om te waarsku dat die hond aggressief is. Toe my klein neef die hondjie vryf (en hy ken van saggies vat en het baie sag aan die hondjie gevat), toe byt die hond hom. Toe die man van Van Zylsvlei dit opmerk, was sy reaksie bloot "O ja, julle kan aan enige van die honde vat, behalwe daardie een." Geen verskoning nieteenstaande my kleinneef se histeriese huil. Ook geen kennisgewing op by die plek om te waarsku dat mens nie aan die hond moet vat nie. Ons sal klaarblyklik nie terug wees nie.

The accommodation was adequate in terms of bed and bath, but due to our experience we will not return.

Me, my husband and my mother were initially going to spend the night at Van Zylsvlei to break the journey back from the Western Cape to Gauteng. After we made our reservation, my sister, her husband and their 2-year-old son also booked three people to stay the same night as us on the way so that we could embark on the journey together. On arrival the owners confused the reservations and gave us a room with a double bed and two single beds (instead of one single bed for my mother) and for my sister's family only a single bed. When we questioned this, my brother-in-law was told that he got what he paid for, even though he booked for three people. Luckily we were together and my mother could share a room with them and my husband and I slept in the room with the double bed. However, the room had an overwhelming smell of mothballs which was extremely unpleasant. When the owner noticed the mistake, we were called into our room to ask why we didn't highlight the mistake, which we did, but the man refused and so we made a plan among ourselves to ensure a bed for each guest. However, what made the stay at Van Zylsvlei unpleasant is the fact that my sister's little boy was bitten by one of the dogs. There are many dogs on the premises, most of which are very cute and friendly. My family loves animals and my niece is no exception. The owner's husband who walked into the room with us saw my nephew kneeling by the dachshund and failed to warn that the dog was aggressive. When my little cousin rubbed the puppy (and he knows how to be gentle and touched the puppy very gently), the dog bit him. When the man from Van Zylsvlei noticed this, his response was simply "Oh yes, you can touch any of the dogs, except that one." No apology notwithstanding my nephew's hysterical crying. Also no notice at the place to warn that one should not touch the dog. We obviously won't be back.

Erg ongemaklik geslaap. Ete ook nie baie goed nie. Nie weer nie.

Ons het in rondawel geslaap. Indien jy nie met lugversorging klaarkom nie, moet jy glad nie in die rondawels oorbly nie. Weet nie hoe is ander fasiliteite nie. Daar is geen kruisventilasie in die vertrek nie. As dit warm is, moet jy lugversorging gebruik, anders gaan jy vergaan van hitte en benoudheid. O ja, en die matras is so hol geslaap, dit moes al lank terug vervang gewees het. Ons verstaan kos kan 'n probleem wees, maar om vleis voor te sit wat opgewarm voorkom en al effe droog is, is nie aanvaarbaar nie. Doen dan eerder net eenvoudige disse wat vars gemaak kan word. Vir die pryse wat betaal word vir verblyf en kos verwag jy beter. Sal nie weer hier oorbly nie. Terrein is heeltemal oop met geen toegangsbeheer nie.

Slept very uncomfortably. Food not very good either. Not again.

We slept in rondavel. If you cannot cope with air conditioning, you should not stay in the rondavels at all. Don't know how other facilities are. There is no cross ventilation in the room. If it's hot, you have to use air conditioning, otherwise you'll perish from heat and stress. Oh yes, and the mattress is so worn, it should have been replaced a long time ago. We understand food can be a problem, but serving meat that appears reheated and is already slightly dry is not acceptable. Instead, only do simple dishes that can be made fresh. For the prices paid for accommodation and food you expect better. Will not stay here again. Site is completely open with no access control.

Van Zylsvlei B&B Karoo Guest Farm 's response

Beste At,

Baie dankie vir die terugvoering. Ek is regtig jammer dat dit jou ervaring by ons was.

Die rondawels is nog in die ou era gebou en vir daardie rede het ons die lugversorger geinstalleer om dit meer gerieflik te maak.

Ek kan u verseker dat die vleis wat ons voorsit nie opgewarmde vleis is nie. Dit word wel op 'n 'griller' gaargemaak, wat dit moontlik te droog na u smaak gebraai het. Ek is jammer vir enige ongelukkigheid met die kos wat voorgesit is.

Van Zylsvlei is 70 jaar oud in die 70 jaar van sy bestaan, was daar nog geen voorval van enige aard nie. Dit is 'n plaas en toegansbeheer is oneffektief. Ons as permanente inwoners weet dit is regtig baie veilig hier en daarom adverteer ons dit ook so.

Groete,
Annalie

Uitstekend!

Dit was nou die regte begin vir 'n vakansie! Om oujaarsaand buite onder die sterre te kon sit, was die beste begin van 'n vakansie ooit. Baie vriendelike ontvangs, hulle het selfs aangebied om vir ons aandete te maak al was al die personeel af vir die aand. Vriendelike honde (wat nooit lastig is nie), groet jou as jy by die hek inkom en spring selfs saam in die swembad as jy hulle toelaat. Die hanslammetjie was ongetwyfeld my gunsteling. Die rondawels is silwerskoon en ek sal Van Zylsvlei enige tyd aanbeveel. Dit gaan beslis ons oornagpunt wees vir al ons toekomstige reise. 10/10!

Friendly dogs (that are never bothersome), greet you when you enter the gate and even jump into the pool with you if you let them. The pet lamb was undoubtedly my favourite. The rondawels are spotless and I will recommend Van Zylsvlei anytime. It will definitely be our overnight stop on future travels. 10 out of 10!

A great place to stop over on way to CT or PE or back home.

We have been using Van Zylsvlei for some 7 years now as our half way stop on our biking trips. Best place to unwind and relax for the next days ride.

Rustig en lekker!

Die mense is vriendelik en warm. Ons is hanteer soos ou vriende en met 'n ope hart verwelkom. Die huisies is pragtig, netjies en gemaklik. Dit is lekker dat die eiendom ook bietjie uit die stad is. Glad nie te ver nie, maar net ver genoeg dat dit steeds gesien kan word as 'n vakansie op sy eie. Hierdie is die beste plek om oor te slaap in Colesberg.

Quiet and nice!

The people are friendly and warm. We were treated like old friends and welcomed with an open heart. The houses are beautiful, neat and comfortable. It's nice that the property is also a bit out of town. Not too far at all, but just far enough that it can still be seen as a holiday in its own right. This is the best place to sleep over in Colesberg.

Skoon, gerieflik, vriendelik, smaaklike maaltye. Wat meer wil 'n mens hê?

Soos met ons vorige oornagverblyf was van Zylsvlei in die kol. Dit was 'n aangename verrassing dat daar nou 'n klein yskassie in die kamer is om ons drankies vir die volgende dag se ry koel te hou. Ons reis met 2 yorkies en vind hulle die perfekte oornag verblyf. Dis stil en rustig, weg van die besige N1. Heerlike skaapkerrie vir aandete geniet en smaaklike ontbyt die volgende oggend, alles teen billike tariewe. Ons het reeds verblyf vir ons terugrit bespreek.

Clean, comfortable, friendly, tasty meals. What more could one want?

As with our previous overnight stay, van Zylsvlei was spot on. It was a pleasant surprise that there is now a small fridge in the room to keep our drinks cool for the next day's drive. We travel with 2 yorkies and find them the perfect overnight accommodation. It's quiet and peaceful, away from the busy N1. Enjoy delicious mutton curry for dinner and tasty breakfast the next morning, all at reasonable rates. We have already booked accommodation for our return journey.

Lekker en gerieflik en goed geleë, weg van die geraas van die N1 roete af.

Dit was baie lekker en is goed vir oorslaap, dit is al wat ons nodig het. Die volgende twee aspekte kan dalk aandag kry: 1. Die swembad was nie skoon nie. 2. Dit is nie troeteldiervriendelik t.o.v. alle tipe honde nie. Daar is honde op die plaas en ons het 'n hond wat nie ander honde "verdra" nie wat dit moeilik vir ons gemaak het, aangesien hulle honde aandag by ons soek (vriendelike honde). Hulle moet dalk kyk na 'n area wanneer daar honde kom wat nie gewoond is aan ander honde wat toe is en weg van hulle honde.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Nice, convenient with a good location, away from the noise of the N1 route.

It was enjoyable and perfect for a stopover. Had all the necessities. The following 2 aspects could be improved: 1. The swimming pool was dirty 2. The place isn't pet friendly towards all types of dogs. They have dogs on the farm and we bought our dog, but our dog doesn't really socialise well with other dogs. We had some difficulty with this as the other friendly dogs came to us looking for attention. Perhaps they should set up an area for dogs who aren't that keen to socialize with other dogs.

Bietjie duur vir die gebrek aan gemak.

Was nogal teleurgesteld omdat die eenheid waarin ek gebly het (nr 17) nie dig genoeg toemaak nie - daar was heelnag 'n yskoue lug wat in die plek geroer het, glad nie wat ek verwag het teen R500 vir 'n enkele persoon per nag nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.

A bit expensive for the lack of comfort.

Was quite disappointed as the unit I stayed in (no 17) didn't close tightly enough - there was an icy cold air moving through the place all night, not at all what I expected at R500 for a single person per night .

Hallo Ingrid
Dankie vir jou insette. Daar sal nie akkommodasie al vir 70 jaar aangebied word as dit onveilig is hier nie. Dit is regtig baie veilig. R 70.00 vir ontbyt is ons standaard fooi vir ;'n volledige Engelse ontbyt. Vrugte en yoghurt, graanvlokkies en 'n bord warm kos. Ek is nie bewus van enige plek waar jy net vir 'n bordjie pap kan betaal nie.

Baie vriendelik en gemaklik.

'n Mens is altyd maar skepties oor wat jy gaan aantref as jy net oor die internet verblyf bespreek, so ons was aangenaam verras met Vanzylsvlei. Vandat jy inry het die plek 'n vriendelike atmosfeer en is daar mooi tuine. Daar is lekker baie plek waar die kinders en honde veilig kan rond hardloop en speel. Ons kamer was gemaklik met al die geriewe waarvoor mens kan vra en as jy wil eet is daar 'n verskeidenheid lekker kos om van te kies. Ons was heel in ons skik en sal verseker weer hier oorslaap.

From the moment you enter this place, there is a friendly atmosphere and pretty gardens. There is loads of space for the kids and dogs to play and run around safely. Our room was comfortable with all the facilities one could ask for and, if you'd like a meal, there is a variety of delicious meals to choose from. We were so impressed and would definitely book here again.

Ons twee, ons groot hond en ons 2 volgepakte voertuie is almal warm verwelkom op die rustige groen oase na 'n lang rit. 'n Heerlike aandete, lekker warm bad en gemaklike bed het gesorg vir uitrus soos min. Na nog 'n smaaklike ontbyt het ons gegroet soos ou vriende, met moed vir die 2de skof. Ons sal nie weer op 'n ander plek oorbly as Van Zylsvlei nie - dankie Annalie!

Wou nooit in Colesberg oornag nie, want almal doen. Van Zylsvlei by Colesberg, maar nie in Colesberg nie. Dit was al die pad die moeite werd van die eienaars tot die twee honde wat ons die volgende môre met swaaiende sterte ingewag het by ons deur.

Rustig.

Ons 7 "girls" het vanaf Mosselbaai met ons motorfietse gereis, en doodmoeg op Van Zylsvlei aangekom. Die swembad was 'n lafenis, die ete het ons terug laat verlang na ons kinderdae, die kamers mooi skoon. Ons het rustig geslaap sonder enige steurnis. Die mooi skoon rustigheid van die plaas het ons die volgende dag begroet. Ons sale enige tyd weer daar gaan oorslaap.

Dit het gevoel soos om by vriende oor te slaap op pad na ons vakansiebestemming.

Ons het dadelik baie welkom gevoel na 'n lang dag in die kar. Die omgewing is pragtig en die lekker bord kos was uit die boonste rakke. Die ontbyt was heerlik en na 'n lekker geselsie oor Colesberg het ons afskeid geneem en ons reis verder aangepak. Ek sal dit definitief vir enige iemand aanbeveel.

Ek het na 12h00 uit Nelspruit vertrek en kon nie die spertyd van 21h00 haal nie, maar Annalie het my op die pad gekontak en verseker dat dit nie `n probleem is nie en sy die rondawel se deur sou oopgesluit hou sodat ek wanneer ek arriveer net kan instap en die rondawel net weer kan toe trek wanneer ek die volgende dag vertrek. Alles was in plek soos gereel. Sal beslis weer gebruik. Skoon en gerieflik.

'n Heerlike oornag-plek.

Met ons aankoms by Van Zylsvlei is ons vriendelik ontvang. Voor aandete het ons in die interessante kroeg rondgekyk waar Deon ons opgespoor het en sy familiegeskiedenis met ons gedeel het. 'n Heerlik aandete het 2 moeë mense gelukkig bed toe gestuur vir 'n goeie nagrus.

Gerieflik, gasvrou Annalie is baie hulpvaardig.

Met klein kindertjies voel ek as mamma dat die ketel, koppies, glase effe hoër weggebêre of gepak kan word. Daar is teesakkies, koffiesakkies en suiker in kamer, maar geen melk nie. Vir R810 uisluitend ontbyt sal ek my opsies heroorweeg vir 'n volgende keer. Ons het goekoper verblyf gehad in selfsorg-opset in Hartenbos langs die see.

With small children, I feel as a mother that the kettle, cups, glasses can be stored away or packed a little higher. There are tea bags, coffee bags and sugar in room, but no milk. For R810 including breakfast I will reconsider my options for a next time. We had cheaper accommodation in a self-catering setting in Hartenbos by the sea.

Aangenaam rustig, dog teleurstellend!

Eerstens, lees die hele beskrywing. Dit is nie B&B nie, maar slegs slaapplek, want ontbyt is nie by die tarief ingesluit soos wat normaalweg aanvaar word as jy B&B in jou naam noem nie! Tweedens, van die 3 ligte in die een slaap vertrek het slegs een gewerk! In die ander slegs twee uit die drie! Die bad se kraan is stukkend! Gradering uit 10 gee ek slegs 2!

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

Pleasant and peaceful, and yet disappointing!

Firstly, read the description. It's not a B&B, because only accommodation, not breakfast is included in the rate, contrary to what you expect when you book a place that says B&B in the name! Secondly, of the 3 lights in the bedroom, only one was working! In the other room, only 2 out of 3 were working! The bath's tap is broken. If I had to give it a score out of 10 it would be 2!

Van Zylsvlei B&B Karoo Guest Farm 's response

Van Zylsvlei is wel as B&B geregistreer, maar aangesien ongeveer 60% van die gaste nie ontbyt wil hê nie en vroeg wil ry, gee ons die opsie van ontbyt. Te veel mense het gevoel dat hulle vir iets moet betaal wat hul nie gaan benut nie. As die persoon sy bespreking deurgelees het, sou hy gesien het dat dit duidelik aandui dat ontbyt opsioneel is.

Ek wil dit graag onder U aandag bring dat ek die gas genader het om te vra wat werklik vuil was, wat se swak diens hy ervaar het, en onder sy aandag gebring dat die ligte 2 skakelaars het, een by die muur en een op die liggie self. Al die ligte in al die kamers het wel gewerk.

Ons waardeer kritiek en probeer altyd iets daaruit leer, en ek neem kennis hiervan. Ek het tot dusver geen reaksie van die gas ontvang nie en wou net van die feite wat verkeerdelik was, regstel.

Absoluut fantasties.

Hul gasvryheid was ongelooflik. Die plek het 'n lekker kuier-atmosfeer en die restaurant word beslis aanbeveel. Ons bespreking is deur LekkeSlaap hanteer en ons ervaring vanaf ontvangs tot aandete was absoluut fantasties. Die eienaars weet wat gasvryheid is en laat elke gas onmiddellik tuis voel. Die akkommodasie is skoon en gerieflik met lugversorging. Dis baie veilig en gaste hoef nie eers hul motor te sluit nie. Aandete was die toppunt in die restaurant. Baie gemoedelik, goeie waarde vir geld en die atmosfeer is uitstekend. Bespreek gerus jou volgende oornag by Van Zylsvlei B&B en ervaar 'n dag wat jy nie gou sal vergeet nie.

The accommodation is clean and comfortable with air conditioning. It's very safe and guests don't even have to lock their car. Dinner was the highlight in the restaurant. Very friendly, good value for money and the atmosphere is excellent. Feel free to book your next overnight stay at Van Zylsvlei B&B and experience a day you won't soon forget.

Lekker man, lekker.

Lekker plek om te bly. Familie-eenheid was ruim skoon en netjies. Swembad was 'n lekker lafenis na 'n warm dag in die kar.

Lekker verblyf op die plaas.

Baie netjiese eenhede wat goed geleë is tussen die Kaap en die Vrystaat. Baie vriendelike eienaars wat uit hulle pad gaan om jou te laat ontspan sonder om heeltyd in jou gesig te wees. Ons het met 'n 3 m-sleepwa gereis en daar was voldoende parkering om te kom en te gaan sonder om al die inwoners te ontstel.

Nice stay on the farm.

Very neat units that are well located between the Cape and the Free State. Very friendly owners who go out of their way to make you relax without being in your face all the time. We traveled with a 3m trailer and there was ample parking to come and go without upsetting all the residents.

Aangenaam.

Ons het 'n ruim kamer gehad en ons verblyf was aangenaam. Ek sal net graag wou hê dat wanneer jy bespreek hulle duidelik stipuleer of die eenheid wat jy bespreek het lugversorging in het. Ons was daar tydens die hittegolf en was glad nie bewus dat net sommige kamers lugversorging het nie.

Pleasant.

We had a spacious room and our stay was pleasant. I just wish that when you book they clearly state if the unit you booked has air conditioning in it. We were there during the heat wave and were totally unaware that only some rooms have air conditioning.

Opgewarmde kos is onsmaaklik

Daar is 'n grondpad wat afdraai van die N1 af wat alreeds verwarring skep. Daar is wel 'n kroeg met lugversorging en koue verversings maar geen lugversorging in die ontvangs en sitkamer nie. Dit sou aangenaam gewees het as die gasvrou mens kon uitnooi om in 'n koel lugversorgde sitkamer te kom sit en ontspan. Nou moet mens maar in die ou klein kamertjie sonder lugversorging probeer om die hitte te trotseer. Die kos was opgewarm en smaakloos, sonder slaai of groente. Die Woolworths nagereg was ten minste smaaklik.

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

Reheated food is unpalatable

There is a dirt road that turns off the N1 which is already causing confusion. There is a bar with air conditioning and cold refreshments but no air conditioning in the reception and lounge. It would have been pleasant if the hostess could have invited people to sit and relax in a cool air-conditioned lounge. Now one has to try to brave the heat in the old little room without air conditioning. The food was reheated and tasteless, without salad or vegetables. At least the Woolworths dessert was tasty.

Gerieflik, goeie ligging, paar probleme

Ek het twee kamers bespreek en in my epos is dit ook so bevestig. Ons moes egter in een kamer slaap of ander verblyf op kort kennisgewing soek. Ek het twee kamers duidelik gespesifiseer. Daar was ook 'n paar ander probleme: een bedlampie sonder 'n gloeilampie, die stortdeur se handvatsel het uitgeval en die badkamerdeurslot was ook stukkend.

Comfortable, good location, few issues

I booked two rooms and in my email it was also confirmed as such. However, we had to sleep in one room or find other accommodation at short notice. I have clearly specified two rooms. There were also a few other problems: one bedside lamp without a bulb, the shower door handle fell off and the bathroom door lock was also broken.

Benodig heelwat aandag aan detail.

Die akkommodasie as sulks is baie goed. Daar was gevalle van kragonderbrekings omdat die huidige elektriese stelsel nie die lading (elektriese komberse en ketels) kan hanteer nie. Dit is nog aanvaarbaar. Wat kwel is dat die lampies wat verskaf word nie werk nie of daar is nie paraffien in nie. Die kos wat bedien word is duidelik vooraf gekook en gevries en dan opgewarm om te bedien. Dit is absoluut smaakloos en swak waarde vir geld. Ek bly gewoonlik by Orange River Lodge en as ek die 2 bestemmings vergelyk is daar 'n hemels breë verskil en die tarief by Orange River Lodge is nie veel duurder nie. Ek wou vir die interessantheid iets anders probeer, maar ek was teleurgesteld.

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

Needs a lot of attention to detail.

The accommodation as such is very good. There have been cases of power outages because the current electrical system cannot handle the load (electric blankets and boilers). It is still acceptable. What is troubling is that the lamps provided do not work or there is no paraffin in them. The food served was clearly pre-cooked and frozen and then reheated to serve. It is absolutely tasteless and poor value for money. I usually stay at Orange River Lodge and if I compare the 2 destinations there is a huge difference and the rate at Orange River Lodge is not much more expensive. I wanted to try something different for the sake of interestingness, but I was disappointed.

It was disgusting!

With regards to our booking at Van Zylsvlei. We will definitely NOT even consider staying over there again. The place was full of spider webs and small spiders all over the place. There were pieces of dirt falling from the roof constantly. There was no aircon. Furthermore the matrasses on the beds were as hard as rocks, so were the pillows. The duvets were heavy warm winter duvets, in summer not a good idea. I really think booking in there was not worth the money we paid. This B&B was more expensive than the above mentioned B&B. I do think this B&B should not even be part of your option as an accommodation option!

Not quite what I expected

This was an overnight stop for us on the way to Johannesburg. It was peak season and as such, the rooms were all booked. What I didn't realise was that campers are also welcome here and they were located on the lawns in between the little cottages. This is an ideal place for to break a long journey but it's noisy [multiple campers with dogs] and people are on the go from dawn so don't plan to sleep after sunrise. The accommodation is functional eg small rooms, sheets, etc but no mattress covers.

Hartlike ontvangs, skoon beddegoed en smaaklike ontbyt!

Ons was moeg na 'n lang reis vanaf Kaapstad. Die padwerke en reën het ons reis baie bemoeilike en ons het eers 21:15 in Colesberg aangekom. Wat 'n aangename ontvangs by Van Zylsvlei! Ons akkommodasie was netjies en aan die kant. Met 'n lekker koppie koffie agter die blad, was ons dankbaar om in knus, skoon beddegoed in te kruip. Ons sal beslis weer by Van Zylsvlei oorslaap! Baie dankie, Annalie!

Verblyf was voldoende gewees vir ons vereistes.

Ons het slegs een aand oorgeslaap en ongelukkig nie aandete geëet nie, hoewel die spyskaart 'n goeie verskeidenheid gebied het. Ons sou 'n lugversorger in die eenheid baie waardeer het, siende dat dit hoogsomer is en die waaiers in die kamers nie voldoende was om die kamers genoegsaam te verkoel nie.

Accommodation was sufficient for our requirements.

We only stayed one night and unfortunately did not have dinner, although the menu offered a good variety. We would have greatly appreciated an air conditioner in the unit, seeing as it is high summer and the fans in the rooms were not sufficient to cool the rooms sufficiently.

Kan dit nie aanbeveel nie.

Kan dit nie werklik aanbeveel nie. Ek dink vir 'n oornagplek wat so 'n ent van die N1 af is, moet die plek meer bied (soos lugversorging). Hulle noem dit selfsorg-eenhede, maar daar is nie 'n enkele vurk of 'n yskas nie. Weens die feit dat daar nie lugversorging is nie, word die rondawels vreeslik warm in die somer. Die ou waaiertjie is ontoereikend. Daar was 'n swembad sonder water op die perseel. Nie seker of dit vir gaste bedoel is nie.

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

Can't recommend it.

Can't really recommend it. I think for a stopover that is so far from the N1, the place should offer more (like air conditioning). They call them self-catering units, but there is not a single fork or a fridge. Due to the fact that there is no air conditioning, the rondavels get terribly hot in the summer. The old fan is inadequate. There was a swimming pool without water on the premises. Not sure if this is meant for guests.

Die platteland het sy eie unieke bekoring. Ek gaan uit my pad om op kleiner dorpe en plase oor te slaap terwyl ek reis. Dit skep die atmosfeer vir die res van die reis. Dit het Van Zylsvlei beslis gedoen vir ons as gesin.

Clean air, lots of stars, plenty of peaceful silence.

The countryside has its own unique charm. I go out of my way to sleep over in smaller towns and farms while traveling. This sets the mood for the rest of the trip. Van Zylsvlei certainly did this for us as a family.

Perfek vir 'n vinnige oorstop oppad Kaap se kant toe. Skoon en gerieflik.

Al wat mens nodig het: bed, stort, heerlike ontbyt, en krag vir die lang pad.

Lekker rustige omgewing en goeie plek vir oornag!

Daar is geen probleem met akkommodasie nie. Kamers is netjies en skoon en jy word vriendelik ontvang. Die vlieë het bietjie gepla, maar ons moet seker aanvaar dit is plaas! Wat egter meer pla, is dat ons "bure" toegelaat is om met hul 3 groot honde (seker boerboele) in die rondawel te oornag.

Nice peaceful environment and good place to spend the night!

There is no problem with accommodation. Rooms are neat and clean and you are received friendly. The flies were a bit of a bother, but we have to assume it's a farm! However, what bothers us more is that our "neighbors" were allowed to spend the night in the rondavel with their 3 large dogs (probably peasants).

Was certainly all we needed for our short stay. Comfortable, clean and great hosts. Wake up to the sounds of cows, roosters and lambs - great.

Ontspannend en baie genotvol.

Het julle plek baie geniet en sal dit weer gebruik. 'n Lafenis onder mooi bome, en die afkoel in die swemband was verfrissend saam met die koue bier. Baie dankie!

Relaxing and very enjoyable.

Really enjoyed your place and will use it again. A ride under beautiful trees, and cooling off in the swimming pool was refreshing with the cold beer. Thank you very much!

Rustige verblyf naby aan N1. Ideaal vir oorslaap tussen Gauteng en die Kaap of PE.

Dankie vir die vriendelike ontvangs en skoon fasiliteite. Ontbyt word eers om 7:30 bedien, wat baie laat is vir reisigers.

Alhoewel dit skoon binnenshuis was, het die geboue 'n vervalle voorkoms gehad. Ons kon nie 'n swembad sien nie. Die mense was wel vriendelik.

The owners are very pleasant and accommodating with regard to special requests. The chalets are situated out of the town, and we thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet that it afforded. The chalets are beautifully decorated, you will not be disappointed.

Wonderlike gasvryheid, heerlike kos, warm slaapplek.

Die gasheer en gasvrou is baie vriendelik en mens voel dadelik tuis. Dit was baie koud en die elektriese komberse en verwarmer was van groot hulp. Die badwater was egter nie baie warm nie, maar verskoonbaar omdat alles verder baie positief is.

Generally we were satisfied although there are small things which needs attention.

The rooms were spacious and clean. Lovely bathroom. Unfortunately the toilet was not working. Annalie and Deon were very good hosts. They offered us room service although it is not standard procedure. The food was good, but unfortunately we were served without any cutlery. There is no telephone to the reception - so you had to go out in the bitter cold (-6 degrees in the morning 7h30)if you wanted cutlery which is what we tried to avoid by ordering room service. There is no security gates at the entrance or to the various rooms - which makes you feel unsafe. The road from Colesberg is in a poor condition.
