Tranquility and sense of belonging. Warm and welcoming.

The stay was made easy by the warm, friendly welcome from Joanne. Her bubbliness and kindness gave us peace and a sense of security. She is very social and happy to be in the environment. It exceeded our expectations. We will definitely return for the same reasons.

Relaxed homely stay.

My stay was like home from home. The cosy stoep area, the inviting fireplace (I would definitely have used it if it was winter when I travelled!), the comfortable bed and the friendly four-legged greetings made my stay a very relaxed, homely one.

Soos altyd so gemaklik, gerieflik en 'n "home from home".

Die ontvangs was hartlik en het ons dadelik welkom laat voel. Dit is die tweede keer wat ons van hierdie gastehuis gebruik maak en dit was lekker om te sien dat die plek goed in stand gehou word en dat daar verbeterings en veranderings aangebring word wat wys daarop dat die eienaars regtig omgee!

Rustige plaasatmosfeer en ruim woonstel.

Die woonstel is lekker ruim en het bykans alles wat mens nodig het. Dis net jammer dat dit nie so skoon was soos mens sou verwag nie. Dit kort 'n bietjie opknapwerk.

Quiet farm atmosphere and spacious apartment.

The apartment is nice and spacious and has almost everything you need. It's just a shame that it wasn't as clean as one would expect. It needs some renovation.

Unfortunately, the place has lost its former glory. Due to power cuts, water was also interrupted and we had to ask for water and the generator was only switched on later. Photos also no longer accurately reflect the facility.

Dit kon lekker gewees het, maar nie sonder krag en water die hele naweek nie (boorgatwater werk met pompe).

Dit is 'n mooi gebied en die eienaars was baie vriendelik toe ons daar aankom. Ons (en hulle) is egter gekniehalter deur beurtkrag met stadium 6 loadshedding. In Tulbagh sit die ou wat die krag weer aansit dit meer as 'n uur laat (gemiddeld die naweek wat ons daar was) weer aan. Ons was dus 8 uit 12 ure Saterdag sonder krag. Die groot probleem kom in dat Villa Tarentaal boorgatwater het wat met 'n pomp werk. Ons was dus op watershedding ook die meeste van Saterdag en die hele Sondag (06:00 -10:00 am - uitchecktyd is 10 uur). Ons kon dus die hele naweek nie stort nie, kon nie toilette trek nie en het nie water gehad vir handewas (na doekeruil) of skottelgoedwas nie (alhoewel ons ook nie kon koffie drink of kosmaak of enigiets nie weens geen krag). Dit was vir my baie sleg en daar was geen poging tot 'n emmer vir byvoorbeeld toiletspoel of sanitizer in plaas van handewas nie. Vrydag toe ons incheck het hulle vriendelik vir ons gesê daar is 'n generator, ons moet net vra as hulle dit moet aansit, maar ons moenie bel nie, want daar is nie sein nie (ek het gecheck - gaan deur na voicemail). Ons moes net kom roep. Ons het. 'n Paar keer. Maar kon hulle nie kry nie. Ons het toe maar beskawing toe gevlug Sondag met vuil lywe en 'n erge dors na koffie. Dis jammer - want as dit nie vir Eskom se strooi was nie was die naweek dalk baie lekker. Daar is wifi, maar vir obvious redes was dit nie juis vir ons beskore om dit te gebruik nie.

It could have been nice, but not without power and water all weekend (bore water works with pumps).

It is a beautiful area and the owners were very friendly when we arrived. However, we (and they) are hamstrung by stage 6 loadshedding. In Tulbagh, the guy who turns the power back on turns it back on more than an hour late (on average the weekend we were there). So we were without power for 8 out of 12 hours on Saturday. The big problem comes in that Villa Tarentaal has borehole water that works with a pump. So we were also on watershed most of Saturday and all of Sunday (06:00 -10:00 am - check-out time is 10 hours). So all weekend we couldn't shower, couldn't flush toilets, and didn't have water for washing hands (after changing diapers) or washing dishes (although we also couldn't drink coffee or cook or anything because of no power). It was very bad for me and there was no attempt at a bucket for eg toilet flush or sanitizer instead of hand washing. On Friday when we checked in they kindly told us there was a generator, we just had to ask if they should turn it on, but we shouldn't call because there was no signal (I checked - go through to voicemail). We just had to call. We have. A few times. But could not find them. We then fled to civilization on Sunday with dirty bodies and a severe thirst for coffee. It's a shame - because if it wasn't for Eskom's straw, the weekend might have been very nice. There is wifi, but for obvious reasons it was not intended for us to use it.

Kies 'n vrystaande eenheid vir privaatheid.

Ons gesin hou van plaas atmosfeer so die toer van ons was van plaas na plaas dus het ons spesifiek 'n gevoel in gedagte gehad. Waar ons as gesin privaatheid kan hê. Die ander gaste was nie wat ons ingedagte gehad het nie.

Choose a freestanding unit for privacy.

Our family likes a farm atmosphere so the tour of ours was from farm to farm so we specifically had a feeling in mind. Where we can have privacy as a family. The other guests were not what we had in mind.

Heerlike verblyf in pragtige Tulbagh.

Ons het ons verblyf by Villa Tarentaal vreeslik baie geniet. Blue Crane Cottage is goed ingerig en ons was sentraal genoeg om Tulbagh lekker te kon verken. Ons het die hot tub geniet en die kaggel binne-in die huis was heerlik knus. Ek sal Villa Tarentaal enige tyd aanbeveel!

It's a really lovely child friendly place. Lots of activities to do. It's quiet and relaxing if you are traveling without kids. The weather was just very cold, so we couldn't sit outside much. Overall it was a great experience.

Gaan definitief terug om die plaas self ook te verken, daar was net nie tyd vir dit nie. Die selfsorgeenheid was baie goed toegerus, netjies en skoon. Ons het gevra of ons 'n koekroller kan leen en hulle het ons dadelik gehelp met dit.
